Chapter 1895 Ranked Spiritual Material Acquired (4K)
Huo Yuheng and Qian Shulan's gazes were fixed on Chen Fei as if they were physical objects, filled with doubt and inquiry.
Before them, the battlefield was in a chaotic state, with dozens of peak Immortal Realm experts eyeing them menacingly. Their auras intertwined and collided, sealing off the core area like an iron barrel.
They simply couldn't fathom what means Chen Fei could possibly possess to disrupt this almost frozen situation under such dire circumstances.
Chen Fei remained calm and composed, showing no emotion whatsoever. He did not speak, but slowly raised his right hand, bringing his index and middle fingers together. There was no shimmering light at the fingertips, yet an indescribable sharpness quietly gathered, as if it could pierce through the barriers of time and space.
Chen Fei's voice rang out at this moment:
"This technique is called Nine Hells Severing Heavenly Veins. It is an incomplete secret technique that I obtained by chance in the depths of a secret realm. Later, I used my lifespan as fuel to deduce and comprehend it to its current state."
Chen Fei paused briefly, then the mysterious and sharp intent emanating from his fingertips intensified.
"Its core essence is neither offense nor defense, but rather 'severance'—severing the connection between all things and the energy of heaven and earth, cutting off the resonance between rules and origin, and even severing the invisible thread between the target and the mysterious Heavenly Dao!"
Huo Yuheng and Qian Shulan's divine senses instantly swept over the wisp of sharp light at Chen Fei's fingertips, which, though not yet released, caused the space to slightly distort.
Both of them were at the peak of the Immortal Realm, so they could clearly sense that the way the rules operated within that sharpness was completely different from any known inheritance in the Xuan Yu Realm, carrying an almost tyrannical artistic conception.
It is not destruction, but a forced blockage, severing the connection between the target and the surrounding天地元气 (heaven and earth energy), the operating rules, and even the supreme Heavenly Dao.
In the Xuan Yu Realm, severing an opponent's connection with heaven and earth is useful, but due to the existence of the Immortal Xuan Crystal, its usefulness is not obvious, so there is almost no research on the Immortal Realm.
Huo Yuheng and Qian Shulan's minds raced. Combining this with Chen Fei's previously displayed almost monstrous sensitivity to spiritual materials, a vague idea instantly flashed through their minds.
Could it be that Chen Fei intends to use this method to shake the fragments of the Heavenly Dao?
But how exactly should this be done, and how can it be effective under the noses of dozens of equally powerful individuals?
Chen Fei's gaze pierced through the chaotic energy turbulence, landing on the fragment of the Heavenly Dao that emanated a profound aura of the fifteenth rank. His voice was low as he said:
"I intend to use this technique to attempt to sever the deep anchor between the fragment of the Heavenly Dao and the origin of the entire secret realm! Not to seize it, but to create a ripple and see if it can trigger a chain reaction of changes!"
Chen Fei paused, then added, "To be on the safe side, the spell must be cast outside this space. Applying force from the outside while inducing change from within is the best strategy."
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuheng's brows furrowed instantly, his face filled with solemnity: "Sever the connection between the fragments of the Heavenly Dao and the origin of the secret realm? Their connection is as close as that between stars and their orbits. If we are not careful, the backlash could be extremely severe."
Chen Fei nodded slightly and said, "I don't need to use my physical body, nor do I need to completely sever it. I only need to shake its foundation and cause it to polarize slightly!"
Chen Fei glanced at the powerful experts in the distance, whose auras were as deep as the ocean and whose nerves were taut, and whispered, "With just this slight fluctuation, the stalemate will be broken and a chaotic battle will surely break out!"
Qian Shulan's beautiful eyes flashed with a sharp light. She pondered for a moment, rapidly calculating the feasibility of the plan in her mind, and finally decisively said:
“Casting spells from the outside allows for both offense and defense. Even if the attempt fails, it won't be immediately exposed and could backfire. It's worth the gamble! Yuheng, what do you think?”
Qian Shulan turned her gaze to Huo Yuheng, her expression questioning.
Huo Yuheng thought for a moment, then nodded, his voice firm: "Alright! Let's proceed with this plan! Chen Fei, go ahead and do as you please. Shu Lan and I will protect you here. Do you need our Yuan Power to enhance your abilities or for the rules to resonate with you?"
Chen Fei smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "Thank you for your protection, elders. I can handle the spell myself!"
Before he could finish speaking, the space beneath Chen Fei's feet collapsed silently. Layer upon layer of spatial steps formed and vanished in an instant. Before his past self could even appear, he disappeared like an ink droplet in water, passing through the spatial barrier.
Beyond the spatial barrier, within the dark and cold interlayer of space, Chen Fei's past self silently emerged.
Chen Fei stood like a reef on the edge of the turbulent spatial currents, his gaze piercing through the layers of spatial folds, vaguely catching a glimpse of the dazzling fragment of the Heavenly Dao within, a fragment that stirred countless hearts.
At the same time, within the space, deep within Chen Fei's eyes, the Void Treasure - Time Rift Walk quietly began to operate.
In an instant, time and space within a radius of thousands of miles centered on Chen Fei seemed to be paused.
The churning energy currents, the shimmering light of the secret treasures, and even the subtle changes in the expressions of those top experts all froze almost completely.
Only Chen Fei's mind, driven to its extreme by the Heavenly Cause Record of the Universe and the imprint of the Azure Lotus Law, frantically observed and deduced the fluctuation nodes of every inch of space around the fragment of the Heavenly Dao and the flow trajectory of every rule vein.
In Chen Fei's sea of consciousness, massive amounts of spatial data and rule information surged, collided, and reorganized like a torrent. Finally, a sharp light flashed in Chen Fei's eyes as he captured it!
That spatial node, hidden deep within countless fluctuation nodes, is like a vital point!
With a thought, the past self outside the space instantly made a move.
The sharpness of the Nine Hells Heaven-Slaying Vein at the fingertips was condensed to its extreme, transforming into a condensed, hair-thin, pitch-black, and seemingly capable of devouring all light.
Instead of striking at the fragment of the Heavenly Dao itself, the sword was fiercely aimed at a seemingly calm and undisturbed connection point in the void outside the spatial barrier, which in fact echoed the core node of the fragment and was like a meridian hub.
"Buzz!"
A silent yet strange buzzing sound, seemingly capable of shattering the very essence of the soul, resounded loudly at the level of rules.
That condensed, ethereal sharpness pierced silently into the connection point of the void.
In an instant, an invisible yet terrifying resonance wave, capable of severing all connections, pierced through the thick spatial barrier, ignoring all energy obstructions, and precisely transmitted to the core node where the Heavenly Dao fragment was located.
"Boom!"
Within the space, the fragment of the Heavenly Dao, which floated at the core of the battlefield and flowed with endless profound runes, was struck as if by an invisible hammer.
The runes that had been flowing steadily on its surface suddenly began to fluctuate. Then, the space beneath the fragment collapsed and disintegrated without warning, like a sandcastle whose foundation had been removed.
This was not an attack, but rather because the connection between the Heavenly Dao fragment and the origin of the secret realm was forcibly "shielded" for a moment by the Nine Hells Heaven-Slaying Vein!
Without the support of the source power, the terrifying weight and status contained within the Heavenly Dao fragment instantly manifested, directly crushing the spatial structure that supported it.
The fragments, like stars falling into a bottomless abyss, were instantly swallowed up and swept away by the violent spatial turbulence and the surging energy torrent inside the Heavenly Pillar!
"not good!"
"A piece of debris is falling!"
"Who dares to act like this?!"
This sudden upheaval was like pouring ice water into a boiling oil pan! All the peak experts, whose minds were tense and who were staring intently at the fragments of the Heavenly Dao, instantly erupted into chaos.
A horrified and furious roar exploded like thunder, shaking the entire space!
They had no time to ponder the root cause of this upheaval, nor did they bother to search for the culprit hidden in the shadows; their eyes were only fixed on the supreme treasure that had been swept away by the spatial turbulence.
Dozens of figures exuding a world-destroying aura instantly burst forth with speeds exceeding their limits, tearing through space recklessly and frantically chasing after the direction in which the fragments fell and disappeared.
The previously deadlocked situation shattered like ice being struck by a boulder.
The extreme chaos erupted at the core of the spatial collapse, like a powder keg ignited, with violent energy shockwaves instantly sweeping in all directions, tearing space to shreds.
Huo Yuheng and Qian Shulan witnessed this chaotic scene, which resembled the end of the world, and their hearts were filled with turmoil.
They hadn't expected that Chen Fei's secret technique would have such an immediate effect.
The fragment of the Heavenly Dao fell into the raging energy torrent of the Heavenly Pillar, like a fish swimming into the sea, its trace difficult to find. The difficulty of retrieving it has increased a hundredfold, inevitably triggering an even more tragic and bloody struggle.
Although Huo Yuheng and Qian Shulan were well aware of the value of the Heavenly Dao fragment, rushing into the chaotic core, which was like a meat grinder, would be tantamount to courting death.
Their previous presence here was primarily to prevent fragments of the Heavenly Dao from falling into the hands of extraterrestrial demons. Now that the situation is completely out of control, their primary objective has changed.
Throughout the entire space, the attention of all the powerful beings was completely drawn to and firmly locked onto the strange fall of the Heavenly Dao fragment.
Some powerful individuals, acting like madmen, recklessly pursued the energy torrent into which the fragments had entered.
Some powerful individuals directly tore apart the spatial barrier, attempting to intercept it from other locations on the Heavenly Pillar.
Even worse, the struggle for the route led to a deadly battle, with the scene becoming extremely chaotic and violent, with energy storms raging and the light of laws flashing wildly, just like the battlefield of Ragnarok!
"The time has come!"
Huo Yuheng's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he exchanged a knowing glance with Qian Shulan and Chen Fei.
Without further hesitation, the three transformed into three streaks of light that tore through the void. They did not rush towards the core of the chaotic storm, but instead sped off like ghosts toward the location Chen Fei had indicated.
Although violent energy turbulence raged along the way and spatial fragments flew like blades, no powerful figures paid attention to this forgotten area anymore. In fact, there were hardly any Immortal Realm experts left in the entire space.
In the blink of an eye, the three of them appeared tens of thousands of miles away from the core area they had previously been in.
Chen Fei stopped in his tracks, his gaze sweeping across the surrounding void like lightning.
Even with Chen Fei using the Heavenly Cause Record of the Universe in conjunction with the Azure Lotus Law to imprint it, and repeatedly sweeping the area with his divine sense, he was still unable to sense even the slightest trace of the aura of a high-ranking spiritual material in this place.
If it weren't for the incredibly clear guidance of the Heavenly Dao of the Secret Realm, Chen Fei would never have imagined that this place actually contained a top-grade fourteenth-rank spiritual material!
Their methods of concealment are nothing short of ingenious!
Huo Yuheng and Qian Shulan's divine senses, like combs, repeatedly combed through this area, their faces showing deep confusion.
The place was completely empty; there was no fluctuation of any spiritual material of any rank. If Chen Fei hadn't spoken with such certainty, and hadn't broken through to the late stage of the Immortal Realm, they would have almost doubted whether they had come to the wrong place.
With a slight thought, Chen Fei stepped out from behind his shadow, following the guidance in the darkness, and slowly extended his right hand, gently probing into a void that seemed no different from any other spatial node.
The hand of the past self entered the void without any hindrance, as if reaching into a layered pocket.
It seems that the Rank Spiritual Material is hidden here, but its true location is actually elsewhere on this Heavenly Pillar. This place can only be considered the entrance. Therefore, neither Chen Fei nor any other peak Immortal Realm cultivators could sense the aura of the Rank Spiritual Material.
A moment later, he withdrew his hand, and in his palm was a piece of grayish-white material with a rough surface, like a roadside rock.
As the "stubborn stone" was removed, an extremely faint yet pure aura of a high-grade spiritual material slowly rippled out.
Although the aura was still faint and restrained, it could be clearly perceived by peak experts like Huo Yuheng and Qian Shulan. It was a vast power originating from the very essence of their status, as profound as the starry sky.
Huo Yuheng's gaze was sharp as a knife as he stared intently at the grayish-white stone. He said in a deep voice, "Is this a seal? A fourteenth-grade top-rank spiritual material is perfectly sealed inside. The seal's structure is intricately linked. If it is forcibly broken, it will likely trigger the internal restrictions instantly, turning the spiritual material and the seal together into dust!"
Qian Shulan leaned closer to examine it closely, her brows furrowed, and a wisp of extremely subtle probing energy flowed from her fingertips as she carefully touched the surface of the stone:
"Indeed! This sealing technique is ancient and exquisite, containing extremely strong chains of rules and a backlash mechanism, which cannot be broken by brute force! We must find a specific way to unseal it, otherwise, touching it rashly will only result in the failure of all our efforts!"
Qian Shulan tried to analyze its structure with her divine sense, but it felt like facing a maze made of billions of runes. She couldn't find a clue in a short time, and instead, her soul was shaken by the subtle backlash.
Chen Fei remained silent, his gaze fixed on the gray-white stone. The light from the operation of the Heavenly Cycle Record flowed endlessly deep within his pupils, like two miniature stars.
Like the most patient craftsman, Chen Fei carefully analyzed every minute detail on the seal's surface, sensing the flow of every bit of energy within it.
Time passed slowly, and the energy roaring from outside the space was like background noise. Huo Yuheng and Qian Shulan's hearts sank as Chen Fei silently probed.
"Actually, there's no need to rush to break this seal. We can seek the ancestor's help after leaving the secret realm, and the seal can be broken then," Huo Yuheng said after thinking for a moment.
Chen Fei nodded. This was indeed a method. If Chen Fei hadn't seen the fragment of the Heavenly Dao, he probably would have done the same. But now that he knew about the fragment, Chen Fei had no chance of seizing it without breaking through to the peak of the Immortal Realm.
Suddenly, Chen Fei's eyes narrowed slightly. He keenly detected a rule mark that was extremely subtle and almost integrated with the stone itself at the deepest part of the seal core.
The aura emanating from this mark subtly resonated with the primordial aura emanating from the fragment of the Heavenly Dao.
A thought flashed through Chen Fei's mind: "The best thing to break this seal is the fragment of the Heavenly Dao! The two only need to touch lightly, and the seal will break on its own!"
This design is both ingenious and ingenious, hiding the key in the most dangerous place.
Chen Fei had previously thought that the Qi tides were already a form of punishment from the Heavenly Dao of this secret realm, but now he discovered that it was far more than that. Unfortunately, he had no choice but to follow the path laid out by the Heavenly Dao.
Chen Fei told the two of them his discovery in a low voice. Huo Yuheng and Qian Shulan's expressions immediately turned ugly upon hearing this.
Is a fragment of the Heavenly Dao needed to unseal it?
The fragment of the Heavenly Dao is currently being frantically pursued by dozens of bloodthirsty peak Immortal Realm experts, making it the hottest and most deadly treasure in this secret realm.
Rather than relying on fragments of the Heavenly Dao to unseal it, it would be better to take it away from the secret realm and let our ancestor take action.
