Chapter 1868 Heaven's Malice (4K)
"Ok?"
While cultivating and extracting immortal matter, Chen Fei suddenly looked up at the sky with some confusion.
From the subtle perception brought about by the overwhelming aura, Chen Fei discovered that the entire secret realm's hostility towards him had suddenly intensified considerably.
The immense fortune can provide guidance in the unseen realm, and cultivation or treasure hunting is as if aided by the gods, all of which are brought about by the Heavenly Dao of the Xuan Yu Realm.
This Fire Spirit Realm won't provide any guidance to Chen Fei, nor will it enhance his cultivation. However, Chen Fei hasn't killed many Fire Spirits yet, so the normal realm won't pose much of a threat to him.
But right now, Chen Fei sensed that the Heavenly Dao of the Secret Realm was becoming increasingly hostile towards him.
Chen Fei withdrew his gaze from the sky and landed on the immortal substance that had seeped into the Nine Hells Heaven-Slaying Vein, his expression thoughtful.
The Immortal Realm Fire Spirit can almost infinitely draw immortal matter from the origin of the secret realm to replenish itself.
Because this immortal substance is used to replenish the fire spirit, and the fire spirit is a naturally occurring entity in the secret realm, it seems that the immortal substance is being consumed by the fire spirit, but in the end it is just energy changing into a different form.
In other words, in the end, those immortal substances will actually return to the origin of the secret realm, and the origin of the secret realm will not suffer much loss.
However, these immortal substances did not end up on the Fire Spirit, but were intercepted by Chen Fei using various methods.
After falling into Chen Fei's hands, he used part of it for cultivation, and stored the vast majority of it in the Guixu Realm.
For the origin of the secret realm, these immortal substances have truly disappeared and are no longer recycled back into the origin of the secret realm as before.
Under these circumstances, how could the Heavenly Dao of the Secret Realm not feel disgusted with Chen Fei, even if Chen Fei had not yet killed this late-stage Immortal Realm fire spirit?
But perhaps in the eyes of the Heavenly Dao of the Secret Realm, Chen Fei's interception of so much immortal matter was far more heinous than the killing of these immortal fire spirits.
"Zheng!"
Three Void Dao Swords crossed and slashed through the immortal matter, removing the information about the Fire Spirit from it, and then put the immortal matter into their sleeves.
Being deep within a secret realm and rejected by its Heavenly Dao will inevitably produce some side effects.
But at this moment, the speed at which he was obtaining Immortal Crystals was too fast, and Chen Fei simply couldn't stop.
For such a large quantity of Immortal Crystals, taking on some danger is entirely acceptable.
After a dozen or so breaths, Chen Fei's physical cultivation had reached 30% of the mid-stage of the Immortal Realm. Because the Dao Crystal Heavenly Seal Forging Divine Technique had already reached its peak, Chen Fei's soul had also reached the peak of the mid-stage of the Immortal Realm.
Therefore, with an abundance of Immortal Crystals, one's cultivation level can actually improve very quickly.
Although some of the Immortal Crystals were consumed, even more Immortal Crystals were collected into his sleeve. At this moment, Chen Fei possessed more than four thousand Immortal Crystals.
Previously, Chen Fei's most valuable asset was actually his luck. If he went to the Earth Ranking, he could exchange it for 3,100 Immortal Mystic Crystals.
Now, there's no need to go to the Earth Ranking. Chen Fei's actual number of Immortal Mystic Crystals already exceeds his luck. In other words, if handled properly, Chen Fei can retain his luck after leaving this secret realm.
The fortune of the Immortal Realm can be exchanged for more than just Immortal Crystals on the Earth Ranking. Everyone only exchanges for Immortal Crystals because they are relatively easy to obtain and have a high effect on the Immortal Realm.
You can actually exchange for other rare and precious materials on the Earth Ranking, but there is a prerequisite for exchanging for many of these materials: you must be on the Earth Ranking.
The Earth Ranking only has thirty spots, and the competition seems to be even fiercer than the Mysterious Ranking.
Of course, the number of Immortal Realm cultivators is much smaller than that of Void True God Realm cultivators, so it's hard to say which one is easier in terms of difficulty.
However, there is one thing: there are absolutely no late-stage Immortal Realm experts on the Earth Ranking. All thirty of the listed experts are at the peak of the Immortal Realm.
Of course, there are geniuses and prodigies in the late stage of the Immortal Realm, but who among those who can stand in the top 30 of the Earth Ranking is not a genius or prodigy?
They're all geniuses, and one of them, at the peak of the Immortal Realm, is even a minor level higher than you. No matter how you look at it, you can't beat them. And the reality is, no one at the late-stage Immortal Realm has ever stood on the Earth Ranking.
If Chen Fei can obtain a satisfactory Immortal Mystic Crystal this time, he can save his luck to exchange for rare and precious materials on the Earth Ranking in the future.
Although no new 15th-grade low-level spiritual materials have appeared within the Void Origin yet, the future is anyone's guess.
If it really appears, and Chen Fei has enough luck, then he can exchange for this extremely precious fifteenth-grade low-level spiritual material.
Chen Fei never doubted whether he could stand on the Earth Ranking. The only unknown factors were when he would obtain the fourteenth-grade high-quality spiritual materials and the fourteenth-grade supreme-quality spiritual materials.
Within this Fire Spirit Secret Realm, there might be a chance to obtain these two types of spiritual materials.
One hundred and thirty-seven Immortal Mystic Crystals...
One hundred and forty-one Immortal Mystic Crystals...
One hundred and thirty-five Immortal Mystic Crystals...
As time went by, Chen Fei's Immortal Crystals continued to increase, soon surpassing five thousand.
Five thousand Immortal Crystals is a peak amount that only late-stage Immortal Realm experts can accumulate without much fighting.
The Immortal Realm late-stage Heavenly Demon Yin Henglin, whom Chen Fei had previously killed, had a little more than five thousand Immortal Mystic Crystals, but not by much.
The extraterrestrial demons who dared to enter the Xuan Yu Realm were quite well-prepared, possessing a significantly larger quantity of Immortal Mystic Crystals compared to others of the same level.
In just a few dozen breaths, Chen Fei acquired what other immortals had accumulated over countless years.
However, having acquired so many Immortal Crystals, the Heavenly Dao of the Secret Realm has correspondingly increased its dislike for Chen Fei.
It wasn't to the point of being universally hated, but if Chen Fei were to obtain a mid-grade fourteenth-rank spiritual material at this moment, the range of his qi tides would probably soar from one billion miles to one and a half billion miles.
One hundred and twenty-five Immortal Mystic Crystals...
One hundred and three Immortal Mystic Crystals...
The number of Immortal Mystic Crystals, which had been stable at around 130, suddenly began to fluctuate downwards.
Chen Fei watched this scene with some surprise, then looked up at the Nine Hells Heaven-Slaying Vein and found that the amount of immortal matter seeping down was significantly less than before.
As the immortal matter flowed through the three layers of spacetime primordial energy and was struck by the three Void Dao Swords, Chen Fei put the immortal matter into his sleeve.
Seventy-one Immortal Mystic Crystals...
Chen Fei's brows twitched slightly. Compared to the initial state, the amount of immortal matter had decreased by almost half.
"Wow!"
While Chen Fei was still pondering the reason, the Immortal Fire Spirit, which had been trapped in the illusion, suddenly awoke. Its originally scarlet eyes had turned pitch black at some point.
Looking at the darkness, Chen Fei suddenly had the illusion of facing the Heavenly Dao of the Secret Realm.
"boom!"
Instead of rushing towards Chen Fei, the immortal fire spirit suddenly self-destructed on the spot, and the powerful destructive impact, accompanied by an indescribable force, swept in all directions.
The past body instantly teleported in front of Chen Fei's true form, swung its sword down, and blocked the destructive impact completely.
But that strange, inexplicable power also entangled Chen Fei's past self.
"After calculating the Immortal Crystals consumed in cultivation, and roughly extracting nearly six thousand Immortal Crystals, this late-stage Immortal Realm fire spirit self-destructed."
Chen Fei's eyes were thoughtful. The only thing that could make a late-stage Immortal Realm Fire Spirit self-destruct could be the power of the Heavenly Dao of the Secret Realm.
As for why the Heavenly Dao of the Secret Realm made this late-stage Immortal Realm fire spirit self-destruct, it's just like the malice that's currently entangled around Chen Fei.
The Heavenly Dao of the Secret Realm had clearly discovered this late-stage Immortal Realm fire spirit. It demanded Immortal Matter but received no response. After obtaining nearly six thousand Immortal Mystic Crystals, it decisively destroyed the late-stage Immortal Realm fire spirit.
Suddenly, Chen Fei remembered the carbonized fire spirit, which had also cultivated the Nine Hells Heaven-Slaying Meridian technique.
What exactly happened in this secret realm back then that led to the emergence of such a cultivation technique and a fire spirit with its own sentience?
Chen Fei had no way to verify it, but from the fact that the late-stage Immortal Realm Fire Spirit was forced to self-destruct just now, he seemed to be able to see some clues.
Chen Fei waved his hand, causing his past self to dissipate into the primordial energy of heaven and earth. The strange power that had been entangled in his past self also dissipated along with it.
Chen Fei once again activated the Void Treasury of Time Remnants, summoning his past self from the river of time.
Having confirmed that the strange power was no longer present in his past self, Chen Fei turned back to the Realm of Return to Nothingness. Enveloped in the Time Pavilion, Chen Fei began to refine the Immortal Mystic Crystal in his hand with all his might.
Under the influence of the Time Pavilion, Chen Fei's physical cultivation reached the peak of the mid-stage of the Immortal Realm in almost no time.
Having cultivated both Yuan Power and Physical Fitness, and having reached the peak of the mid-stage of the Immortal Realm in both areas, Chen Fei's combat strength has reached a new level.
With his full strength, Chen Fei can easily kill the previous Heavenly Demon Yin Henglin single-handedly, without the help of Night Demon Warriors or his past self.
However, Yin Henglin is not among the top group of all late-stage Immortal Realm cultivators, as evidenced by the fact that his physique has not reached the late-stage Immortal Realm.
If Chen Fei were to actually encounter a powerful expert who had cultivated both physical strength and Yuan power to the peak of the late Immortal Realm, he would have to fight them to find out who would win.
If the opponent is a prodigy in the late stage of the Immortal Realm, the Void Treasure and its extended characteristics are top-notch choices, then the outcome is really hard to say.
After all, in that situation, Chen Fei's only advantage was the Great Perfection Realm Heavenly Cause Universe Record and Dao Crystal Heavenly Seal Forging Divine Technique, while his cultivation level was a small level lower, and he also lacked four items like Void Secret Treasures that had not yet undergone transformation.
As for facing other mid-stage Immortal Realm cultivators, no matter how monstrous they are, Chen Fei can suppress them alone without any surprises.
The Time Pavilion dispersed, and Chen Fei reappeared within the secret realm, looking up into the distance.
The self-destruction of an Immortal Realm Fire Spirit did not affect Chen Fei's ability to continue collecting Immortal Mystic Crystals; he simply needed to find another Immortal Realm Fire Spirit.
The only thing Chen Fei needs to consider now is when to stop, since the aversion of Heaven is real, and it will only increase as Chen Fei extracts more Immortal Crystals.
If Chen Fei were to be truly hated by the secret realm, his situation would become difficult. However, he would be fearless against ordinary late-stage Immortal Realm cultivators.
However, if he were to encounter a peak Immortal Realm expert, especially one of the top experts on the Earth Ranking who were drawn by the Heavenly Dao of the Secret Realm and came to find Chen Fei, then Chen Fei would indeed be unable to cope with such an expert.
Instead of immediately searching for a new Immortal Realm Fire Spirit, Chen Fei activated Time Walk, and the entire world suddenly came to a standstill.
Chen Fei wanted to try to weaken the malice of the Heavenly Dao in the Secret Realm. If he could do that, he could continue to intercept the Immortal Profound Crystal.
Conversely, one can only do it a few times, and then honestly use one's senses to search for the immortal crystals in magma or spatial rifts.
While in the state of time-space walk, Chen Fei observed his own body and discovered many untouchable twisted black energies. These black energies were the malice of the Heavenly Dao.
Chen Fei turned to look at the Night Demon Warrior and his past self. The Night Demon Warrior also had the same black aura, but the past self had much less black aura.
Chen Fei's expression shifted slightly. He observed the Night Demon Warrior and himself again and discovered that some of the black energy on the Night Demon Warrior and himself was gradually shifting towards his past self.
In other words, the Heavenly Dao of the Secret Realm considers Chen Fei, the Night Demon Warrior, and his past self as part of Chen Fei.
That's actually correct, so the malice of Heaven is shared equally among the three.
The dissipation and re-condensation of the past self just now caused the malice of the Heavenly Dao on the past self to disappear.
However, the disappearing malice of the Heavenly Dao did not vanish without a trace. Instead, it fell back on Chen Fei and the Night Demon Warrior, who then bore this portion of the malice of the Heavenly Dao.
It seems that no matter what, there's no way to avoid it.
As the past self recombines, the malice of the Heavenly Dao that had just fallen on Chen Fei and the Night Demon Warrior begins to transfer back to the past self.
As Chen Fei emerged from his Time-Walking state, he knew that to avoid being maliciously affected by the Heavenly Dao of the Secret Realm, his past self and the Night Demon Warrior could not be easily dispelled, otherwise the malice would concentrate on Chen Fei's true form.
Moreover, Chen Fei needed to think of a way to transfer the malevolent influence of the Heavenly Dao within him to his past self and the Night Demon Warrior.
"No, if it really is transferred to my past self and the Night Demon Warrior, then my past self and the Night Demon Warrior must be absolutely safe. Otherwise, if there is any loss, the malice of the Heavenly Dao will fall on me and erupt all at once."
Chen Fei frowned slightly, realizing that simply removing the malice of the Heavenly Dao from himself would have even greater drawbacks.
"What if we let the past incarnation and the Night Demon Warrior willingly accept the punishment of the Heavenly Dao of the Secret Realm?" Suddenly, a new thought flashed through Chen Fei's mind.
The next moment, the past self and the Night Demon Warrior soared into the sky, unhesitatingly drawing in the lightning tribulation within the secret realm.
Each secret realm has its own tribulation lightning, but often, the tribulation lightning is not necessarily a test for cultivators. At least in the Fire Spirit Secret Realm, the tribulation lightning is simply a form of the power of the Heavenly Dao.
Chen Fei now intends to use the power of the Heavenly Dao to try to eliminate its malice.
"boom!"
Thousands of fire bolts rained down from the sky. The Night Demon Warrior and his past self suppressed all their power, enduring the attack of these fire bolts with almost no defense.
