Chapter 1961 Unparalleled Slaughter
Outside the training ground, at the forefront of the Heavenly Demon camp.
Clad in dark gold demonic armor, exuding an aura as deep as the sea, Zang Guanlin, the right-hand man of the Destroyer, stared intently at the junior in the arena who remained calm and even exuded a hint of laziness and casualness throughout.
The other party's complete disregard for him directly challenged Zang Guanlin's dignity as a peak Dominator Realm expert.
A surge of violent, almost tearing anger erupted instantly, causing the demonic energy around Zang Guanlin to vibrate uncontrollably and emit a low, suppressed hiss.
Zang Guanlin's hand clenched suddenly and unconsciously, his knuckles making a dull sound from the force, as if he was about to launch an attack and tear the arrogant junior in the arena to pieces.
However, just as anger was about to completely overwhelm his reason, Zang Guanlin forcibly suppressed this destructive impulse.
If it weren't for the Heavenly Ranking Martial Arts Arena stopping him, Zang Guanlin would have already made a move by now, but since he can't make a move now, getting angry seems meaningless.
Forcibly suppressing his anger, Zang Guanlin forced a disdainful sneer onto his face, his voice hoarse and cold, laced with mockery:
"Young man, you don't even know the specifics of the bet, yet you dare to be so arrogant, demanding spiritual materials of the 15th rank or higher? You truly don't know your own limitations! Do you think that just because you have some strength, you can act recklessly and take whatever you want?"
Chen Fei slowly raised his eyelids, his gaze calmly sweeping over Zang Guanlin. A faint, yet chilling, curve appeared at the corner of his lips. He chuckled softly, his voice not loud, but clear enough to reach the ears of every Heavenly Demon Sovereign:
"I really don't know what kind of bet you're trying to make."
"But I know... I can keep killing!"
Chen Fei paused slightly, his gaze, sharp as a cold blade, slowly sweeping over the pale-faced, terrified early-stage Heavenly Demons in the Heavenly Demon camp, before continuing:
"Kill until... all of you early-stage Dominator Realm cultivators are completely wiped out!"
This Heavenly Ranking Martial Arts Arena was originally a trap used by the Destroyer Venerable to ambush and weaken the power of the Xuan Yu Realm. Now, this trap has been used by Chen Fei instead.
Chen Fei's words were like an extremely cold icy current that instantly swept across the entire Heavenly Demon camp.
All the Heavenly Demon Sovereigns who heard these words, especially those in the early stages of the Sovereign Realm, felt a tightness in their souls.
Although it's hard to admit, if the Destroyer doesn't abolish the Heavenly Ranking Martial Arts Arena, the final result will be that Chen Fei will be the butcher and they will be the fish on the chopping block.
A sense of fear and despair, like cold vines, instantly gripped their minds.
Upon hearing Chen Fei's words, Zang Guanlin's face suddenly turned incredibly dark, as if it could drip water, yet he was unable to refute them. Because what Chen Fei said was a cold, hard truth.
The only variable is whether the Destroyer is willing to pay a huge price, lose most of the power of heaven and earth that he has mortgaged, and forcibly disband the Heavenly Ranking Martial Arts Arena, which has already gone out of control and is backfiring on itself.
All the early-stage Heavenly Demon Sovereigns once again involuntarily focused their gazes, filled with a last vestige of hope and fear, on the Destroyer.
In the suffocating silence, Zang Guanlin steadied himself and spoke again:
"If you win the bet, these treasures..."
Zang Guanlin pointed to the dazzling treasures floating in front of him, "You may choose three items! This is the biggest concession I can make!"
Among these treasures are indeed supreme treasures containing fragments of rank, which are attractive to any Sovereign Realm expert.
However, Chen Fei merely glanced at those treasures that were enough to drive the outside world crazy, his eyes showing no emotion whatsoever, as if he were seeing nothing more than a pile of ordinary objects.
Chen Fei shook his head, raised his gaze again, and looked directly at Zang Guanlin, or more accurately, at the Destroyer beside him, and said, word by word:
"If we don't have spiritual materials of grade 15 or higher..."
"Then let's not talk about any bets."
His tone was casual, directly cutting off any possible escape route for Zang Guanlin's so-called bet.
Chen Fei's relentless pressure and uncompromising attitude brought the atmosphere in the Heavenly Demon camp to an extreme level of tension!
Just as Zang Guanlin's face turned ashen, and he was about to speak again...
"You want a mid-grade fifteenth-rank spiritual material?"
A cold, hoarse voice, yet imbued with supreme authority, suddenly rang out from within the Heavenly Demon camp. The Lord of Destruction, who had remained silent until now, finally spoke again.
The Destroyer slowly raised his right hand, which was shrouded in dense demonic energy, and gently flipped it over.
"Buzz!"
A ball of light, its brilliance and mystery beyond description, appeared out of thin air in the palm of the Destroyer.
The ball of light was no bigger than a fist, yet it seemed to contain the essence of the entire galaxy. Inside, countless tiny crystals, as fine as sand yet crystal clear, seemed to contain the ultimate principles of the universe's birth and death, were slowly flowing and changing.
A unique and profound aura, vast and pure to the extreme, seemingly pointing directly to the origin of the Great Dao and solidifying the supreme foundation of the Dao, instantly spread out.
A mid-grade spiritual material of the fifteenth rank!
The moment this object appeared, the laws of heaven and earth seemed to resonate with it. All the early-stage Sovereign Realm cultivators who sensed its aura unconsciously held their breath, and their eyes involuntarily revealed a strange look.
This is a direct attraction and resonance on the soul level, which no early-stage Sovereign Realm cultivator can avoid.
Inside the training ground, Chen Fei saw the ball of light in the hands of the Destroyer, which radiated an alluring glow and possessed a profound and mysterious aura. His calm gaze finally stirred slightly, and a barely perceptible glint flashed deep within his eyes.
Chen Fei's cultivation has now reached the peak of the early stage of the Sovereign Realm. The characteristics of the Sovereign Realm that he should cultivate have long been perfected, and his understanding of the laws of heaven and earth far surpasses that of his peers.
The only things that can truly limit Chen Fei's cultivation level are these spiritual materials that contain the profound mysteries of the origin of heaven and earth.
Therefore, this item is of paramount importance to Chen Fei, far more practical than any divine weapon or cultivation technique!
"Your honor!"
When Zang Guanlin saw that the Destroyer had actually taken out a mid-grade fifteenth-rank spiritual material, his expression changed drastically, and he couldn't help but urgently try to dissuade him:
"This child is the biggest variable in the Xuan Yu Realm. His growth rate is already unpredictable. If he obtains this 15th-grade mid-level spiritual material, with his monstrous comprehension, this variable will become even more difficult to control, and may even turn against us!"
If the Destroyer had told them that if things dragged on for too long, they would be in danger of dying, most of the Heavenly Demon Sovereigns wouldn't have taken it seriously.
Seeing Chen Fei's performance now, they understand that what the Destroyer Venerable said before was indeed not an exaggeration.
Chen Fei has grown to such a level in just a few months. If he were given more than ten years and found a mid-grade or higher spiritual material of the fifteenth rank, the final result would be unimaginable.
The Destroyer seemed not to hear Zang Guanlin's advice. His gaze remained fixed on Chen Fei, and his voice was cold and emotionless as he spoke again:
"Want it?"
These three simple words carry a profound sense of oppression, as if they could pierce through one's heart.
To the surprise of all the Heavenly Demons, the light in Chen Fei's eyes instantly faded, his expression returned to its usual calm, and he even shook his head slightly, saying indifferently:
"In no mood!"
Chen Fei's gaze shifted, sweeping once more as if he were sizing up prey, towards the terrified early-stage Heavenly Demon Sovereigns in the distance. He smiled and said:
"I just want to... kill them all!"
Chen Fei's gaze was cold and focused, as if he were counting lambs to the slaughter.
The early-stage Heavenly Demon Sovereign, whose gaze swept over Chen Fei, felt a tightness in his soul, and a chilling fear originating from his life instinct instantly swept over his entire body!
It felt as if it were firmly locked onto by its natural enemy, by the Grim Reaper, and a chill ran down its spine!
"presumptuous!"
Zang Guanlin could no longer hold back and let out a furious roar. Chen Fei's attitude of treating them as nothing and wantonly humiliating them completely ignited his suppressed anger!
"Buzz!"
Just then, the Heavenly Dao pillar of light descended once more, randomly enveloping a pale-faced early-stage Heavenly Demon Sovereign.
The Destroyer frowned slightly and waved his hand without hesitation.
A vast and subtle force of rules rippled outwards, forcibly interfering with the falling beam of light, causing it to blur and then dissipate instantly.
The Destroyer can forcibly interfere with the rules of the Heavenly Ranking, but the cost is considerable.
The aura around the Destroyer fluctuated almost imperceptibly. The power of heaven and earth that he had pledged here was forcibly depleted by the rules of the Xuan Yu Realm because of this action.
Its loss is equivalent to the loss of authority caused by the deaths of three early-stage Sovereign Realm Heavenly Demons. Moreover, this method of forcibly delaying will gradually increase the consumption of one's own authority over heaven and earth, making it impossible to use frequently.
The Destroyer withdrew his hand, his gaze still fixed on Chen Fei, his voice steady yet carrying an undeniable decisiveness:
"If you win a duel against one of our mid-stage Sovereign Realm cultivators, this 15th-grade mid-level spiritual material will be yours!"
As soon as this statement came out, the whole audience was in an uproar!
"Shameless!"
In the Xuan Yu Realm camp, Shi Ruifeng immediately rebuked in a cold voice: "A superior against an inferior, a mid-stage against an early-stage, and you dare to call this a duel? It's utterly ridiculous!"
"Hahaha!" Chang Xiwen laughed even louder, showing no mercy: "Old devil! Your abacus beads are almost hitting our faces, can you be any more shameless?"
"Chen Fei! Don't agree to such an absurd and unreasonable request!" Le Boyang urgently transmitted his voice to Chen Fei, his voice filled with worry.
All the rulers of the Xuan Yu Realm were filled with righteous indignation and simultaneously sent a telepathic message to Chen Fei, telling him not to agree to such a bet.
Faced with the proposal from the Destroyer and the dissuasion from the Xuan Yu Realm, Chen Fei chuckled softly, his laughter carrying undisguised mockery and sarcasm:
"This fifteenth-grade mid-level spiritual material... is indeed extremely precious!"
Chen Fei shook his head, seemingly regretful, and casually pointed his finger again at the early-stage Heavenly Demon Sovereigns in the distance:
"So I think it's better for me to keep killing them. It's simple and direct!"
"Bastard!"
"Too deceiving!"
Having been repeatedly humiliated by Chen Fei as if they were pawns and prey, those early-stage Heavenly Demon Sovereigns finally couldn't hold back any longer. Their faces turned ashen, and their eyes were filled with a mixture of anger and humiliation, almost spitting fire.
If it weren't for the Heavenly Ranking Martial Arts Arena blocking their way, they would have loved to rush forward immediately, tear Chen Fei to pieces, and extract his soul to burn for ten thousand years to vent their hatred!
"Junior!"
Zang Guanlin took a step forward, and the terrifying aura of a peak Dominator Realm expert erupted from his body. His voice was icy cold and filled with undisguised killing intent.
"Don't be ungrateful and push your luck! Do you really think you can rest easy just because of this martial arts arena? Once this matter is over and the arena is gone, I will be the first to target you and kill you! I will make sure your soul and body are annihilated, and you will never be reincarnated!"
"You can't kill him!"
A calm yet supremely authoritative voice rang out softly. Venerable Tianxuan slowly stepped forward, confronting Zang Guanlin across the distance. "Hmph!"
Zang Guanlin snorted coldly, looking at Tianxuan Venerable with a sinister gaze, but said nothing more. Pomie Venerable also glanced at Tianxuan Venerable, his gaze deep and unfathomable.
Just as the atmosphere reached another stalemate, Chen Fei suddenly spoke again, his tone still calm, but he made a suggestion that made everyone's hearts skip a beat:
"but……"
Chen Fei stroked his chin, seemingly reluctantly saying, "It would indeed be a waste to leave these fifteenth-grade mid-level spiritual materials in the hands of you demon cubs. You were right about something you said earlier."
Chen Fei looked at Zang Guanlin, a half-smile playing on his lips: "Fighting these trash one-on-one is indeed incredibly boring."
"How about this……"
Chen Fei tapped his finger lightly, "You may randomly select three early-stage Sovereign Realm cultivators to come in. I will fight all three of them. If I win, this mid-grade fifteenth-rank spiritual material is mine!"
Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked. One against three?
Even though Chen Fei is powerful, the early stage of the Sovereign Realm on the Heavenly Demon side is no ordinary opponent, and they must be proficient in combined attack techniques, making the risk extremely high!
The gaze of the Destroyer flickered slightly as he looked at Chen Fei, and suddenly said:
"Five! And if you are lucky enough to win, you must fight one of my mid-stage Sovereign Realm experts within an hour!"
Before he could finish speaking, the Destroyer suddenly pushed with his right hand.
That incomparably precious 15th-grade mid-level spiritual material transformed into a stream of light and instantly flew directly above the Heavenly Ranking Martial Arts Arena, where it was enveloped and imprisoned by a layer of gentle yet resilient Heavenly Dao Rule light.
"Now that you agree, the bet is established and will be witnessed and bound by the rules of Heaven!" the Destroyer said coldly.
Destroyer used a mid-grade fifteenth-level spiritual material as bait to force Chen Fei to make a decision, throwing the pressure back at Chen Fei.
Regardless of what Chen Fei said, the Destroyer knew one thing clearly: Chen Fei wanted this mid-grade fifteenth-rank spiritual material so that he could improve his cultivation level.
Upon hearing the final condition from the Destroyer, Zang Guanlin's words of dissuasion vanished instantly. His eyes flickered as he quickly weighed the options.
One against five!
Facing five early-stage Heavenly Demon Sovereigns who can cooperate seamlessly and work together, the difficulty far exceeds that of a simple one-on-one duel.
No matter how strong Chen Fei is, he will inevitably face a tough battle.
Even if Chen Fei were to win by chance and obtain the rank-level spiritual material, what could he possibly do in an hour?
Even the initial refining of spiritual materials and attempts to break through were extremely rushed, let alone getting familiar with and cultivating the power of the mid-stage Dominator Realm! When facing a mid-stage Dominator Realm Heavenly Demon who is well-rested and in full strength, there is no chance of victory.
This condition, seemingly offering hope, is in fact a dead end.
"Chen Fei, you absolutely must not agree!" Shi Ruifeng's anxious voice reached Chen Fei's ears immediately.
"While mid-grade fifteenth-rank spiritual materials are precious, they are not unavailable! After this battle, I will personally search for them for you. Even high-grade fifteenth-rank materials will be found for you. Do not fall into the Heavenly Demon's trap!"
The voice of Venerable Tianxuan also came, carrying a solemn promise.
"Chen Fei, hold on! That old devil is out of options. He's desperate. Don't rush, keep killing!" Chang Xiwen's voice was full of urgency.
In an instant, almost all the rulers of the Xuan Yu Realm sent messages to dissuade Chen Fei.
In their view, the conditions for the Destroyer were extremely harsh, and Chen Fei had no need to take such a huge risk.
Chen Fei's best option at this moment is to continue to use the rules of the martial arts arena to gradually erode the early stage of the Heavenly Demon's Dominator Realm, greatly weakening the opponent's fighting force.
Or it could force the Destroyer to be unable to withstand the losses and voluntarily disband the training ground, resulting in a significant loss of his own strength.
Regardless of which aspect he achieves, Chen Fei has already made an extraordinary contribution today, and there is absolutely no need for him to engage in this gamble with slim odds of winning and endless troubles.
The sovereigns of the Heavenly Demon faction held their breath, staring intently at Chen Fei in the arena, awaiting his reply.
However, Chen Fei did not immediately respond to the final condition of the Destroyer. He slowly put his hands behind his back, his expression calm.
Time passed slowly, and the atmosphere became so oppressive it was suffocating.
"Buzz!"
The Heavenly Dao pillar of light descended mercilessly once again, like a death warrant, precisely enveloping another early-stage Heavenly Demon Sovereign, Di Xinglan.
Di Xinglan struggled desperately, his demonic energy burning fiercely within him in an attempt to resist the irresistible power of the rules. He looked at the Destroyer Venerable with despair, his eyes filled with pleading.
However, the face of the Destroyer was hidden behind the churning demonic energy, and his expression was not visible. Only his deep eyes remained unmoved. He did not respond at all, nor did he wave his hand to dispel the pillar of heavenly light.
With a flash of light, Di Xinglan was forcibly dragged into the martial arts arena, staggered to the ground, and faced Chen Fei.
Inside the training ground, all was deathly silent, with only Di Xinglan's heavy breathing clearly audible.
Chen Fei did not act immediately. Instead, he calmly observed Di Xinglan and suddenly asked in a soft voice, which, though not loud, resounded like thunder in Di Xinglan's ears:
"If it were you, would you accept the bet that Lord Destruction just proposed?"
Di Xinglan froze at the sudden question, and his face instantly turned even more unpleasant.
Accept it? How could I possibly accept it? That would be a dead end!
One against five? Facing an attack from five equally powerful and ruthless demons with perfect teamwork?
Even if they were lucky enough to win, they would still have to hastily refine the spiritual materials of the rank and break through their realm within an hour before facing a mid-stage Sovereign Realm expert who was waiting in comfort.
But Chen Fei refused, and the Destroyer wouldn't disband the martial arts arena. Di Xinglan dared not even think about the fate of those in the early stages of the Sovereign Realm! Di Xinglan didn't care about other people's lives, but he cared about his own!
At this moment, Di Xinglan could not see any way out.
"So, you also know that the Destroyer wants you all to die!"
Chen Fei nodded as if he understood, but his calm tone was like the sharpest knife, cutting into Di Xinglan's heart.
A few breaths passed, and the duel began!
Chen Fei pointed his fingers like a sword and casually swung them.
"Buzz!"
A colossal sword formation, formed from countless brilliant sword energies and exuding a chilling and murderous aura that sealed off all directions, appeared out of thin air and instantly enveloped Di Xinglan, who had fled hundreds of thousands of miles away.
"No!"
Di Xinglan let out a shrill roar filled with resentment, hatred, and extreme fear, desperately urging his demonic energy in a final, futile struggle!
"Boom!"
The sword formation roared! Countless sword beams poured down like a storm, tearing through demonic light, shredding divine weapons, and annihilating demonic bodies!
After a dozen or so breaths, the light from the sword formation slowly dissipated.
Di Xinglan's aura has completely dissipated into the world; his body and soul have perished!
Another Heavenly Demon Ruler has fallen, like an ant being crushed, silently and without a trace.
"Sir!"
Zang Guanlin could no longer contain himself. He strode forward, his voice low and urgent, filled with barely concealed anxiety:
"This Chen Fei has no intention of accepting the bet at all. He's deliberately delaying, slaughtering our elite troops, and demoralizing our forces!"
Zang Guanlin understood the purpose of the Destroyer's harsh wager: to give Chen Fei no chance to grow, and even to use this opportunity to completely eliminate him.
But if Chen Fei doesn't accept the challenge, the bet will be useless.
"If this continues..."
Zang Guanlin's tone was extremely heavy as he glanced at the panicked early-stage Dominator Realm cultivators behind him. "If they are all killed one by one, our core strength will be greatly weakened, and there may even be internal turmoil! Moreover, the Heavenly Authority you pledged will continue to be lost due to their deaths!"
"Rather than that,"
Zang Guanlin gritted his teeth and forced himself to speak, "Why not... make a decisive move! Immediately disband the training grounds and bear the loss of the power of heaven and earth, but at least we can preserve the remaining main force, stabilize morale, and devise a better plan later."
"To delay and allow him to slaughter us like this is truly the worst possible strategy, Your Majesty!"
Zang Guanlin's voice trembled slightly. He knew that his words might anger the Destroyer, but the situation was already so critical that he had no choice but to speak up!
The churning demonic energy around the Destroyer was violently fluctuating, revealing that he was experiencing an unprecedented and intense struggle and boundless rage within his heart.
How could the Destroyer not know that delaying is the worst possible strategy?
But no matter what choice he makes, it feels like cutting himself in two. In all his years in the Xuan Yu Realm, the Destroyer has never done anything like this.
Just as the Destroyer was struggling with his inner conflict, another early-stage Heavenly Demon Sovereign was randomly selected and dragged into the arena. A dozen breaths later, he followed in Di Xinglan's footsteps, dying and his blood staining the arena!
One... two... three... four...
Early stage of the Heavenly Demon Sovereign Realm, he was mercilessly slaughtered one after another, like cutting grass, without any power to resist!
Each scream was like a heavy hammer blow, striking the hearts of all the demons!
The negative emotions within the Heavenly Demon camp had reached their peak. In the eyes of those at the early stage of the Dominator Realm, besides fear, there was now a mixture of doubt, resentment, and utter despair towards the Destroyer Venerable!
Destroyer stared intently at the arena, watching Chen Fei easily reap the lives of his elite troops, and seeing his own morale about to completely collapse. Finally, an extremely ruthless determination flashed in his eyes.
Destroyer suddenly looked up, his demonic energy erupting, ready to disregard everything and forcibly disband the Heavenly Ranking Martial Arts Arena.
However, just as the Destroyer was about to disband the Heavenly Ranking Martial Arts Arena...
"Buzz!"
Above the Heavenly Ranking Martial Arts Arena, the fifteenth-rank mid-grade spiritual material that had been floating, shrouded in the halo of the Heavenly Dao rules, and exuding an alluring luster and profound and mysterious status, suddenly trembled slightly. The status fluctuations it emitted seemed to resonate with the rules of the martial arts arena in a strange way.
In that very instant!
Inside the training ground, Chen Fei suddenly raised his head, piercing through the void and precisely locking onto the Destroyer!
"This bet..."
"I took it!"
The entire battlefield, whether in the Xuan Yu Realm or the Heavenly Demon camp, instantly fell into a deathly silence!
