Chapter 1963 Breakthrough, Mid-stage Dominator Realm
Outside the training ground, the Xuan Yu Realm camp fell into complete silence; you could hear a pin drop.
All the experts at the Sovereign Realm were frozen in place, staring in horror at the arena.
There, Chen Fei's robes fluttered, his expression calm. Not far in front of him, three of the five Heavenly Demon Sovereigns who had just been so fierce and united in battle had now completely annihilated, their bodies and souls destroyed.
Only the swirling energy of heaven and earth around them proved what a fierce battle had just taken place here.
The other two demons, Mu Yanchen and Song Lihui, were still alive by sheer luck, but their eyes were filled with boundless fear and despair as they stared intently at Chen Fei, like lambs to the slaughter.
"One against five...instantly killing three?"
The fingertips of the Xuan Yu Realm cultivator in the early stage of the Sovereign Realm trembled slightly, and his voice was as dry as sandpaper.
A Sovereign Realm expert standing nearby took a deep breath, trying to calm his turbulent emotions.
"Just how deep is Chen Fei's foundation? What inconceivable level has he reached in his control over power and his understanding of the laws of heaven and earth? We have cultivated diligently for hundreds of thousands of years, thinking we had glimpsed a corner of the Great Dao, but now it seems..."
For those at the Dominator Realm, it was a near-blinding shock. Chen Fei's power had transcended the categories of "genius" or "monster," and was more like a complete subversion of the existing power system of the Xuan Yu Realm, giving people a sense of trembling and awe from the depths of their souls.
Before Chen Fei, no one had ever cultivated the power of the early stage of the Sovereign Realm to such a degree.
The entire Xuan Yu Realm camp was enveloped in an indescribable atmosphere of shock, and everyone's inherent understanding of cultivation was shattered at this moment.
Compared to the shock of the Xuan Yu Realm camp, the Tian Mo camp was in a near-frozen silence, and beneath that silence was an almost solidified, icy chill.
The faces that were just moments before filled with cruel anticipation, bloodthirsty excitement, and gloating grins were now frozen stiff like stone sculptures.
Five elites!
The five individuals, all top-tier in the early stages of the Dominator Realm, had joined forces to set up the Thousand Slaughter Blood Soul Array. In their view, such a powerful force could even pose a threat to the weaker mid-stage Dominator Realm cultivators!
However, this very combination was actually... actually crushed like a clay chicken or a clay dog in front of that native of the Xuan Yu Realm named Chen Fei.
Throughout the entire process, the other party did not show the slightest sign of strain!
Despite not being a Foundation Establishment cultivator, it displayed terrifying combat power that was in no way inferior to that of a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
This stark contrast, this absolute disparity in strength, was like a cold iron hammer, shattering any remaining hope in the hearts of all the Heavenly Demons.
The entire Heavenly Demon camp was completely silent; even the sound of churning demonic energy seemed to have become much fainter.
The leader of the Destroyers, whose body was originally filled with the dense demonic energy that was churning like boiling magma and contained endless destructive will, suddenly solidified.
For the first time, his eyes, which seemed to see through all the illusions of the world, trembled violently, clearly revealing an expression of disbelief.
Even though the Destroyer had witnessed countless races and brilliant talents on the Primordial Continent, he was still shaken by this completely illogical scene before him.
Because the Destroyer had seen a lot, he knew that many ironclad rules could not be broken. Under the flawed rules of the Xuan Yu Realm, whether one was a cultivator or a demonic cultivator, their power had a clear upper limit.
It's not that extraordinary talent can break through, but rather that there's a limit to what you can achieve.
However, the combat power that Chen Fei has shown has far exceeded this range. If it were seen on the Primordial Continent, the Destruction Lord would not be so surprised, but now it has appeared in the natives of a lower-level plane, which is simply unbelievable!
Zang Guanlin, standing to the side, had a face ashen, as if covered by a layer of ancient frost. His lips moved slightly, but in the end, he didn't utter a single word.
Zang Guanlin frantically replayed everything that had just happened in the blink of an eye in his mind, trying to find out the trick Chen Fei had used to win.
However, everything is in vain!
That was a victory of pure strength, an absolute crushing defeat!
The so-called five against one is as fragile as a piece of paper that can be torn apart with a single puncture in the face of Chen Fei's absolute power.
Inside the training ground, the only remaining two, Mu Yanchen and Song Lihui, exchanged a glance. In each other's eyes, they saw endless, bone-chilling despair and fear, as well as a trace of... hysterical madness stemming from the demonic instincts after being forced into a desperate situation!
Escape? Under the rules of the Heavenly Ranking Martial Arts Arena, there is nowhere to escape!
Begging for mercy? The other party is determined to kill; there's absolutely no way they'd do that!
"kill!"
The two demons let out a heart-wrenching, resentful, and mad roar. They completely abandoned all illusions and recklessly burned all the demonic energy, blood essence, and even their original divine soul within their bodies!
The demonic flames soared into the sky, carrying a resolute determination to destroy everything, and pounced on Chen Fei, determined to splatter his blood even in death!
Just as this extreme madness and destructive intent reached its peak, a strange realization, like a lightning bolt flashing through the darkness, suddenly struck into Mu Yanchen and Song Lihui's almost chaotic sea of consciousness.
The demonic path of cultivation does not value rank or spiritual material; it seeks only enlightenment of one's true nature and the plunder of heaven and earth.
At this moment, in an extreme state of abandoning life and death, burning everything, and resonating deeply with the meaning of destruction of heaven and earth, they had a sudden inspiration, as if they had touched the invisible bottleneck that had been hindering their progress.
"This is……"
Suddenly, an incredulous, ecstatic light erupted in Mu Yanchen and Song Lihui's crazed eyes.
The world seemed to become clearer than ever before in their eyes, and the flow of power became smooth and harmonious. The power that was originally violent and difficult to control due to burning now became as easy as an extension of their own limbs.
"Heaven has not forsaken me! Heaven has not forsaken me!"
They were saved from a desperate situation, and it was because they both resonated with each other at the same time that the desperate situation was turned around.
Mu Yanchen and Song Lihui immediately changed their strategy, no longer seeking mutual destruction, but frantically absorbing the opportunity of this epiphany, trying to solidify this sign of breakthrough and buy time.
Once he truly enters the mid-stage of the Dominator Realm, the situation will instantly reverse, and Chen Fei will be the one to die!
"Ok?"
Outside the training ground, Venerable Tianxuan, Shi Ruifeng, and many other powerful figures from the Xuanyu Realm frowned almost simultaneously, keenly sensing the extremely subtle yet essential changes in the aura emanating from Mu Yanchen and Song Lihui.
"A breakthrough in the heat of battle? Touching the threshold of the mid-stage Dominator Realm?" Venerable Tianxuan's expression darkened slightly, completely unexpected that such a variable would occur.
Meanwhile, on the Demonic side, the previously deathly and despairing atmosphere suddenly lifted.
"There's a chance! Mu Yanchen and Song Lihui are about to break through!"
"Hahaha! A glimmer of hope has been found in the face of death!" Many demons' eyes were filled with renewed hope as they stared intently at the scene.
The solidified demonic energy of the Destroyer fluctuated slightly, and a strange light flashed in his deep eyes, clearly not expecting such a turn of events to occur.
Inside the training ground, Chen Fei noticed the change in Mu Yanchen and Song Lihui's aura almost the instant it occurred. A faint hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. Enlightenment under dire circumstances is indeed extremely rare.
However, Mu Yanchen and Song Lihui's cultivation had already reached the peak of the early stage of the Sovereign Realm. If they really wanted to break through, they would not need a Heavenly Rank, but rather enough energy and a sufficient understanding of the world.
Mu Yanchen and Song Lihui certainly didn't lack energy. In their despair at the moment of death, they resonated with the heavens and earth, creating this opportunity.
Chen Fei smiled slightly, making no additional move, but appeared in front of Mu Yanchen and Song Lihui together with his past self, and then threw another punch.
Seeing Chen Fei's attack approaching, Mu Yanchen and Song Lihui were ignited with a strong will to survive by that breakthrough opportunity, and were no longer as desperate as before.
"As long as we can withstand this attack, and once our cultivation levels are stable, his death will be imminent!"
While Mu Yanchen and Song Lihui were trying their best to maintain that profound state of enlightenment and guiding the ever-growing and more powerful force within their bodies, they also commanded the demonic energy around them to create layer upon layer of dark red demonic energy barriers containing unique meanings in front of them.
Because they are in a state of transformation, their defensive capabilities are now far superior to their previous peak, and they are already on the threshold of the mid-stage of the Dominator Realm.
however……
"Boom! Boom!"
Two powerful punches instantly imprinted themselves on the core node of the layered, shimmering barrier.
"Crack!"
Mu Yanchen and Song Lihui's confident and powerful barrier, which contained a trace of the power of the mid-stage Dominator Realm, was as fragile as thin ice in early spring in front of Chen Fei's seemingly ordinary fist energy. It couldn't even stop for a moment before being torn apart, pierced, and completely shattered in an instant!
The force of the fist did not diminish at all, and it smashed towards Mu Yanchen and Song Lihui.
The hope in Mu Yanchen and Song Lihui's eyes froze instantly, turning into extreme horror and incomprehensible bewilderment.
why?
They had clearly touched upon a higher level of power and had a much clearer understanding of the laws of heaven and earth, so why were they still so vulnerable to the opponent's punches?
Chen Fei's understanding of the essence of power seemed to far surpass their current state of enlightenment, like the difference between the bright moon and a firefly!
This is impossible! How could the Xuan Yu Realm possibly be like this...?
Mu Yanchen let out a desperate and unwilling roar, trying to find an answer; he could not understand or accept this outcome.
However, Chen Fei's fist energy did not stop at all. Like two ancient divine mountains that crushed stars and destroyed all laws, it completely engulfed Mu Yanchen and Song Lihui's frantically struggling figures with irresistible force.
"Boom!"
Terrifying energy erupted and raged within the training grounds, causing ripples to spread through the space.
The mournful screams of Mu Yanchen and Song Lihui ceased abruptly after a moment.
Their demonic bodies, divine souls, and even the nascent potential for breakthrough were utterly annihilated by absolute power at this moment, turning into the most primitive energy particles and dissipating into the world.
The training ground fell silent once more, with only Chen Fei standing still, his expression calm as still water.
Outside the martial arts arena.
On the Xuan Yu Realm side, everyone remained silent for a long time. They could not find the right words to describe the shock in their hearts. Chen Fei's strength had exceeded their understanding of the early stage of the Sovereign Realm.
On the side of the Heavenly Demon camp, the flame of hope that had just been rekindled was instantly extinguished by a bucket of ice water, and even more thoroughly than before.
The immense psychological gap left many demons pale and their eyes dull. But the next moment, a strange and complex emotion began to spread.
It's fortunate!
"Fortunately...fortunately, His Majesty is wise and launched this final battle without hesitation..." A demon's voice trembled as he murmured, his tone filled with lingering fear.
“Yes… If we delay any longer and let this kid continue to cultivate peacefully, given his terrifyingly incomprehensible growth rate… in time, when he truly breaks through to the peak of the Dominator Realm… we are afraid… we are afraid that we will be completely wiped out in this Xuan Yu Realm, with not a single one left!” Another Heavenly Demon echoed with lingering fear.
At this moment, they suddenly realized how correct and necessary the previous decision of the Destroyer was.
Chen Fei's existence is itself a huge variable, capable of overturning everything!
The realization that they must nip it in the bud before it truly grows to be invincible, at all costs, intensified the killing intent in the eyes of all the Heavenly Demons as they looked at Chen Fei.
The Destroyer stared intently at Chen Fei in the arena, his gaze deep and unfathomable. The demonic energy that had solidified around him began to slowly circulate again, but his killing intent not only did not diminish, but became even more profound.
The first round of the bet has ended, but fortunately, the original bet had a second hurdle.
"Buzz!"
Just then, the rules of the Heavenly Ranking Martial Arts Arena trembled, emitting a magnificent hum.
In mid-air, the fifteenth-grade mid-level spiritual material, which had been suspended and shrouded in the halo of the Heavenly Dao rules, flashed with light, broke free from its restraints, and slowly fell, hovering above Chen Fei's palm, radiating an alluring luster and a majestic and profound aura.
Seeing this incomparably precious spiritual material fall into Chen Fei's palm, the Xuan Yu Realm camp members suddenly came to their senses. The bet was not over yet. Chen Fei would have to face off against a mid-stage Sovereign Realm Heavenly Demon in an hour.
"The opponent should be Ji Yangming!" Le Boyang's voice was dry, and his eyes were filled with even more worry.
“Chen Fei’s talent and combat strength are indeed heaven-defying, but it’s only been an hour… He just broke through, and he hasn’t even had time to stabilize his realm, let alone cultivate the techniques and refining characteristics of the mid-stage Sovereign Realm.” A Sovereign Realm expert next to him said in a deep voice.
The slight joy that had just arisen from Chen Fei's overwhelming victory was instantly replaced by a greater anxiety and sense of urgency. The situation was still far from optimistic, and could even be described as more dangerous.
Chen Fei glanced down at the spiritual material in his palm that was radiating pure energy fluctuations. With a slight thought, he vanished from the training ground and returned to the Void Realm under his absolute control.
All the Sovereign Realm experts in the Heavenly Demon camp stared coldly at the spot where Chen Fei had disappeared, as if they wanted to devour him alive.
Then, their gazes turned in unison to Ji Yangming, a figure who had remained silent throughout, yet whose aura was as unfathomable as an abyss.
He wore a simple black robe and had an ordinary face, but his eyes seemed to contain endless bloodlust.
On the Xuan Yu Realm side, many powerful figures also cast extremely complex glances at Ji Yangming.
Although they were unwilling to admit it, they knew that Ji Yangming's strength was top-notch among mid-stage Sovereigns. There were very few mid-stage Sovereigns in the Xuan Yu Realm who could contend with Ji Yangming, and as for defeating him, no one in the mid-stage Sovereigns of the Xuan Yu Realm dared to say that.
The Realm of Return to Nothingness, deep within the void.
Chen Fei sat cross-legged, holding the mid-grade fifteenth-rank spiritual material in his palm.
Chen Fei did not absorb it immediately. Instead, he first activated the Purple Extreme Divine Eye and the Chaos Reverse Lotus, using his powerful divine sense to carefully analyze every structure, every wisp of energy, and every strand of Dao rhythm inside and outside the spiritual material.
Although this item has been certified by the rules of the Heavenly Ranking, it is always better to be safe than sorry.
A moment later, Chen Fei slowly opened his eyes, a smile flashing in them. This spiritual material of high quality had not been tampered with.
With Chen Fei's current mastery of the Myriad Paths Decree and the Divine Palace Undying to the Great Perfection, his vision and insight are such that if the Destroyer Venerable truly wanted to do something extremely subtle, it would be impossible to hide it from Chen Fei.
With a thought, Chen Fei unleashed the Myriad Daos Judgment Decree to its fullest extent. The immense Yuan Power within his body, which had already reached the limit of the early stage of the Dominator Realm and could not advance any further, suddenly awakened like a sleeping ancient dragon, surging forth and roaring out, completely enveloping and permeating the spiritual material in his palm.
The spiritual material trembled violently, radiating a dazzling brilliance!
The pure and vast power of the rank, pointing directly to the origin of the Great Dao, surged wildly into Chen Fei's limbs, meridians, acupoints, and soul, like the water of a bursting dam.
Under the impact and guidance of this force, Chen Fei's Yuan Power instantly boiled, expanded, and changed. The incomparably solid barrier of the mid-stage Dominator Realm melted rapidly under the combined impact of this internal and external force, like ice and snow under the sun.
"boom!"
A terrifying aura, vast and boundless, far surpassing anything before, seemingly capable of shaking the galaxy, suddenly erupted from Chen Fei's body and soared into the sky!
This powerful aura penetrated the spatial barrier of the Guixu Realm, clearly descending upon and permeating the training ground area outside.
"Breakthrough!"
Inside and outside the training ground, all the experts at the Sovereign Realm instantly sensed this familiar yet unfamiliar, powerful aura belonging to a newly promoted mid-stage Sovereign Realm expert.
Although everyone already had a feeling that Chen Fei had broken through the barrier of the mid-stage of the Sovereign Realm, a strange feeling still arose in everyone's hearts when they truly felt Chen Fei break through the barrier of the mid-stage of the Sovereign Realm.
In just a few months, he went from the initial stage of the Dominator Realm to the middle stage of the Dominator Realm.
This is beyond mere natural talent; it's practically defying the heavens!
"Unprecedented, and likely to remain so for generations to come!"
Chang Xiwen murmured, her expression joyful, but more than that, she was deeply worried about the inevitable, extremely difficult duel that was to come in an hour.
Le Boyang and Kuang Lingyun's knuckles turned slightly white from the effort. They were genuinely happy and excited for Chen Fei's breakthrough, after all, Chen Fei came from the Illusionary Transformation Sect, and every step of his growth represented the glory of the sect.
But the thought of facing Ji Yangming, who was almost invincible among his peers, made Chen Fei's joy feel like it had been doused with cold water and forcibly suppressed.
Rationally, they knew very well how slim the chances were for a newly promoted mid-stage Dominator who had just broken through, hadn't even had time to stabilize his realm, hadn't cultivated any techniques or supernatural abilities, and hadn't refined his characteristics, to face a Heavenly Demon expert who had been immersed in this realm for many years and had almost reached the mid-stage limit.
That was almost a doomed match!
But how many miracles has Chen Fei created along the way? How many common sense has he broken? Every time, he has carved out a path to survival when everyone thought it was impossible.
This seemingly irrational "hope," like a candle flickering in the wind, stubbornly burned in their hearts, making them feel that Chen Fei could create another miracle and overcome this most difficult hurdle.
Within the Guixu Boundary.
At this moment, the primordial energy of heaven and earth surged violently, and the myriad laws manifested clear traces, with countless strange phenomena appearing!
Golden lotuses bloomed in the void, sweet springs gushed from the earth, auspicious colors descended from the sky, and the sounds of the Dao resounded. The rules of the entire plane became incredibly active because of the breakthrough of the realm lord.
All living beings within the realm, regardless of their cultivation level or race, felt something at this moment, looking up at the sky in shock, sensing the overwhelming and boundless pressure and profound Daoist charm that permeated the heavens and earth.
"It's the Realm Lord! The Realm Lord has broken through again!"
"Quickly! Cultivate quickly! This is a once-in-a-millennium opportunity! The resonance of laws triggered when a Realm Lord breaks through is the easiest way to enter a state of enlightenment!"
Many creatures did not hesitate to put down everything they were doing and immediately sought a safe place to seclude themselves, greedily absorbing the blessings bestowed upon them by heaven and earth.
Every breakthrough Chen Fei made was a grand feast of enlightenment and leaps in strength for billions of beings in the Guixu Realm.
Chen Fei closed his eyes tightly, his mind completely immersed in his body, guiding and refining the still vast power of his rank, stabilizing his newly broken-through mid-stage Dominator Realm cultivation.
Chen Fei's soul also improved synchronously under the nourishment of the power of his position, and quickly stabilized at the mid-stage of the Dominator Realm.
At the same time, the mountains of immortal mystic crystals piled up around him instantly shattered into a vast river composed entirely of pure mystic crystal energy, surging into Chen Fei's body.
With the help of the Immortal Mystic Crystal, Chen Fei's newly stabilized cultivation level began to rise steadily.
Even with the Time Pavilion, an hour seemed extremely rushed for Chen Fei.
Upon breaking through to the mid-stage of the Dominator Realm, the original sixteen early-stage Dominator Realm characteristics within the body must be refined and sublimated into eight new characteristics that are more powerful and better suited to the mid-stage realm.
If it is not forged into eight attributes, the original attribute power will remain at the early stage of the Dominator Realm.
Chen Fei's mind raced as he calmly considered countermeasures.
Even with the Time Pavilion's blessing, Chen Fei can only complete the fusion of three new characteristics at most and cultivate them to the Great Perfection realm. There simply isn't enough time to complete all eight.
"Three items are enough!"
Chen Fei was confident that with his profound foundation, even if his special characteristics were not fully sublimated, the surge in strength brought about by the breakthrough in his realm, along with the perfected Myriad Paths Judgment and Divine Palace Undying, would be enough for him to stand firm in the mid-stage of the Dominator Realm, or even dominate the world.
But as confident as he was, Chen Fei would never give up any opportunity to improve his combat strength.
In matters of life and death, there is absolutely no room for taking chances.
Chen Fei's gaze swept over the sixteen radiant, wondrous characteristic orbs within his body.
After a moment of contemplation and deliberation, Chen Fei made a decision.
Purple Divine Eye!
Chaotic Reverse Lotus!
With a thought, Chen Fei's consciousness, like an invisible hand, guided the purple divine eye phantom within his body—representing ultimate insight and the ability to see through illusions—to slowly approach and come into contact with the chaotic blue lotus phantom—representing tracing back to the origin and the evolution of all laws.
"Buzz!"
The moment the two made contact, a mysterious and unpredictable wave suddenly rippled out!
