Chapter 1914 The First in the Immortal Realm (4K)
Tianxuan Domain, Tianying City.
In this bustling metropolis located in the core area of the Xuanyu Realm, the focus of all cultivators' discussions in the streets, alleys, restaurants, teahouses, and market squares is now on one name: Chen Fei.
"Have you heard? Chen Fei, the newly promoted elder of the Illusionary Sect, broke through three realms in the Fire Spirit Secret Realm, reaching the limit of the Immortal Realm. It's simply unbelievable!"
"Breaking through three realms in a row? Hiss... This speed is comparable to that of Venerable Tianxuan, who suddenly appeared out of nowhere and broke through three realms in a single day!"
"Hey! There's still a difference. Venerable Tianxuan truly broke through three realms in a single day, a feat of extraordinary talent that has shaken the ages! This Elder Chen achieved it during the entire opening period of the secret realm. Although it's equally astonishing, it still falls a little short compared to Venerable Tianxuan's achievement!"
"A hair's breadth away? I don't think so! You only know one side of the story, not the other! I heard that this Elder Chen accidentally entered a secret realm, and his lifespan has been draining away like a burst dam. He is now less than a hundred years old!"
But even in this life-threatening predicament, his comprehension surged to an unbelievable degree, allowing him to complete the comprehension of all the core inheritances of the Illusionary Sect before his lifespan was exhausted. Furthermore, taking advantage of this heaven-defying opportunity, he broke through to the limit of the Immortal Realm. In other words, if Elder Chen had enough high-quality spiritual materials at his disposal, he too could have broken through three realms in a single day, just like Venerable Tianxuan!
"What? His lifespan is less than a hundred years! Doesn't that mean Elder Chen must break through to the Dominator Realm within a hundred years, otherwise..."
"Otherwise, they will perish and their cultivation will vanish into nothingness! Alas... what a pity, such a prodigy! A ruler for a hundred years? How easy is that! A fifteenth-grade low-level spiritual material, what kind of divine object is that?"
Which of the top sects in our Xuanyu Realm doesn't immediately refine such a high-grade spiritual material as soon as they obtain it? The Illusionary Transformation Sect hasn't obtained a high-grade spiritual material of this level for many years!
Countless peak Immortal Realm experts are now stuck at this final step, wasting millennia, ultimately dying with regret! Elder Chen, though a prodigy with divine comprehension, lacks this most crucial element: spiritual material of the required rank, and ultimately…”
"Yes, a high-ranking spiritual talent! This is the real insurmountable barrier! Without it, no matter how high one's comprehension or how strong one's accumulation of knowledge, it's all just a mirage. Elder Chen's hundred-year journey is difficult! difficult! difficult!"
In a corner of the tavern, another table was engaged in a more heated discussion.
"It's not just his cultivation speed! Do you know Elder Chen's achievements in the secret realm? I heard that he fought against more than twenty peak Immortal Realm Heavenly Demons all by himself, not only holding his own but also killing several of them, and finally making those Heavenly Demons run away in terror!"
"Hiss! More than twenty? This...this is too exaggerated! Those are peak Immortal Realm Heavenly Demons! One person fighting more than twenty? This combat power is probably at the Earth Ranking level!"
"Exaggeration? Heh! My cousin's grandmaster is an inner elder of the Xuan Tian Palace! According to him personally, although Elder Chen did not fight all of them alone, and other cultivators and Yuan Xiu experts restrained some of them, Elder Chen did indeed stand against the main force of the Heavenly Demons with his own strength!"
Its combat power was overwhelming and domineering, slaying peak Immortal Realm Heavenly Demons as easily as cutting melons and vegetables. This was undoubtedly Earth Ranking-level strength!
"If that's the case, when will Elder Chen venture into the Earth Ranking? With the demonic tide raging in the Xuan Yu Realm, every additional Earth Ranking expert would greatly improve our current situation!"
"Breaking into the Earth Ranking? That's a given! With the strength Elder Chen has shown, it's only a matter of time before he steps onto the Earth Ranking. What I'm curious about now is whether Elder Chen can fight his way through like he did on the Profound Ranking?"
"Slay through the Earth Ranking? That's probably impossible. Every Earth Ranking expert is someone who has stood at the threshold of becoming a Sovereign and has cultivated for tens or even hundreds of thousands of years."
"With profound foundations and extraordinary abilities! Elder Chen's talent is undeniable, but his cultivation time is ultimately too short, and his accumulated experience is likely insufficient. To be able to secure a place on the Earth Ranking, or even to slay one or two Heavenly Demon Earth Ranking experts, would already be an immense achievement!"
"That makes sense. If this can be achieved, it will be a great fortune for our Xuan Yu Realm. At that time, we will surely be able to severely crack down on the arrogance of the extraterrestrial demons!"
Within Tianying City, discussions were rife, with some expressing amazement, others regret, and still others questioning the situation.
Chen Fei's name became the focus of countless cultivators' conversations, his cultivation speed was so fast that it was almost legendary! His premature death was a cause for lament!
Its century-long reign was considered an insurmountable obstacle!
At the same time, everyone was full of anticipation and curiosity: when would Chen Fei step onto the Earth Ranking, and where would he stand on the Earth Ranking?
The Gate of Illusion, Star and Moon Peak.
Despite the uproar outside, Chen Fei remained calm and composed.
Deep within the void of the Guixu Realm, the Time Pavilion shrouded in radiance, Chen Fei's aura was restrained, as still as an ancient well.
In just a few days, Chen Fei had already finished browsing and analyzing all the fourteenth-tier top-grade cultivation techniques he had obtained during this trip to the secret realm, including the twenty incomplete Heavenly Demon cultivation techniques.
A vast array of cultivation techniques, profound mysteries, rules, runes, and methods for utilizing power, like a boundless galaxy, were imprinted deep within Chen Fei's consciousness.
"Fusion!"
With a thought, the panel becomes like an invisible furnace, enveloping, melting, and reshaping the dozens of "stars" in the sea of consciousness.
The panel trembled slightly, radiating light, and after a moment, a notification lit up:
[New cultivation technique discovered: Nine Heavens Refining Law!]
This is a transformation from the original Nine Heavens Decree Law, with its proficiency level dropping from the Great Perfection Realm to the 30% Perfection Realm.
The Yuanli core transforms into an invisible Heaven-Refining Furnace, into which the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the supernatural powers of others, the essence of magical treasures, and even the ethereal fortune, karma, and fragments of time and space can all be thrown.
As the furnace operates, everything is refined. All things put in are forcibly tempered, purified, and recombined, impurities are removed, and the essence is tempered, ultimately transforming into the purest, most condensed, and lawful power containing the meaning of destroying all laws!
With this power empowering him, his Yuan energy surged, becoming capable of destroying laws and annihilating the Dao, and becoming indestructible!
The power of illusion, which was originally part of the core inheritance of the Illusionary Sect, no longer occupies a large portion of the Nine Heavens Refining Law.
"Buzz!"
Immediately afterwards, a completely different, vast meaning, as if the physical body had been transformed into a vessel of the Great Dao and the embodiment of the rules, rippled out within Chen Fei's sea of consciousness.
[New cultivation technique discovered: The True Chapter of the Myriad Manifestations Dao Body!]
This is a transformation from the Dao Crystal Heavenly Seal Forging Divine Technique. The proficiency level has dropped from the Great Perfection Realm to the 20% Perfection Realm. It seems to be a greater transformation than the Yuan Power Technique, but in reality, they are almost the same, because the original Yuan Power Technique has already undergone several transformations.
The skeleton transformed into pillars of the Dao, bearing the laws of the universe, indestructible. The meridians transformed into rivers of Dao energy, flowing ceaselessly, containing the power of all heavens!
The acupoints transform into the Daoist orifices that connect with the origin of the stars, absorbing and releasing immeasurable energy, and evolving into the celestial map.
The skin transforms into a membrane of Daoist essence that isolates all laws and provides unparalleled defense, just like the membrane of heaven and earth, making it impervious to all laws!
The physical body is no longer just flesh and blood, but a concrete manifestation of the laws of the Great Dao. Every move it makes contains the great power of heaven and earth, with unparalleled defense and power that reaches the heavens!
Chen Fei slowly opened his eyes, his gaze seemingly reflecting the rise and fall of stars and the flow of the Great Dao. He looked at the two brand-new cultivation techniques that appeared on the panel, a joyful smile appearing in his eyes.
Nine Heavenly Laws Refined! The True Chapter of the Myriad Manifestations of the Dao!
These two cultivation methods, one focusing on Yuan Power and the other on Physical Fitness, are so profound and powerful that they are considered the premier inheritances of Yuan Power and Physical Fitness in the entire Xuan Yu Realm at the Immortal Realm level, unmatched by any other.
"simplify!"
"The Nine Heavens Refining Law is being simplified... Simplification successful... The Nine Heavens Refining Law → The Nine Heavens Judgment Law!"
Consuming some of the Immortal Mystic Crystals, Chen Fei began to circulate the Nine Heavens Decree Law. In an instant, a massive amount of profound insights into forging all things and tempering the power of the law flooded into his sea of consciousness.
Within the Realm of Return to Nothingness, the primordial energy of heaven and earth instantly boiled, countless threads of rules were stirred and twisted, and within Chen Fei's body, the invisible "Heaven-Refining Furnace" began to operate with a roar.
At the center of the furnace, it was as if a miniature universe was burning, collapsing, and bursting forth. The mighty torrent of primordial energy was frantically tempered, purified, and sublimated within the furnace, eventually transforming into streams of "lawful power" that were condensed to the extreme, flowing with purple-gold divine radiance, and exuding the meaning of destroying all laws!
After an unknown amount of time, the Nine Heavens Refining Law reached its Great Perfection!
Chen Fei opened his eyes, showing no intention of stopping, and continued his cultivation.
"simplify!"
"Simplification of the Myriad Manifestations Dao Body True Chapter...Simplification successful...Myriad Manifestations Dao Body True Chapter → Dao Crystal Heavenly Seal Forging Divine Technique!"
Chen Fei began to circulate the Dao Crystal Heavenly Seal Forging Divine Technique. In an instant, a massive amount of insights about reshaping the Dao Body and materializing rules flooded into his sea of consciousness, and were then absorbed by Chen Fei one by one.
Chen Fei's physical body emitted a deafening roar, his bones were as if cast with divine metal, their density increased dramatically, mysterious Dao patterns appeared on their surface, his meridians widened like a galaxy, his acupoints lit up like stars, and he burst forth with boundless divine radiance.
His skin flowed like divine jade, radiating an indestructible Daoist brilliance. His entire body seemed to be undergoing an ultimate transformation, a metamorphosis from mortal to Dao!
As time passed, the True Chapter of the Myriad Manifestations Dao Body also reached the Great Perfection!
Three days later, at the main courtyard of Xingyue Peak.
Inside the courtyard, ancient trees reach for the sky, and a clear spring murmurs. On the stone table, a pot of tea steams, its aroma filling the air. Chen Fei and Wei Yangxia sit facing each other.
"Elder Wei, please." Chen Fei poured Wei Yangxia a cup of spiritual tea.
Wei Yangxia quickly accepted it with both hands. Looking at Chen Fei, whose aura was as deep as the sea yet also carried a sense of withering and decay, he was filled with emotion.
Wei Yangxia took a sip of tea to suppress the turmoil in his heart and said, "Elder Chen summoned me here, is there something you want to ask him?"
Chen Fei put down the teapot, looked calmly at Wei Yangxia, and went straight to the point: "There is indeed something I would like to ask Elder Wei. Do you know the rules of the Earth Ranking Challenge?"
Upon hearing this, Wei Yangxia was not surprised at all. The story of Chen Fei fighting alone against a group of demons in the secret realm and killing peak Immortal Realm Heavenly Demons like slaughtering dogs had already spread throughout the Illusionary Transformation Sect.
Its combat strength has definitely reached the level of the Earth Ranking, and challenging the Earth Ranking is inevitable.
Wei Yangxia put down his teacup, his expression turning serious, and said in a low voice:
"If Elder Chen asks, I, Wei, will answer to the best of my knowledge. The Earth Ranking has thirty seats. To challenge someone on the Earth Ranking, one does not directly challenge the strongest individuals on the list, but must first obtain the qualification to challenge!"
"Challenge qualification?" Chen Fei nodded, which was consistent with the Xuanbang.
"Not bad!"
Wei Yangxia nodded and said, "Challengers must first defeat an Immortal Realm Limit Puppet formed from the rules of heaven and earth before entering the Earth Ranking space. This puppet is incredibly powerful, comparable to the lowest rank on the Earth Ranking. Only by defeating it can one obtain the qualification to challenge!"
"Once qualified, challengers can choose any one from the current rankings between 26th and 30th to challenge. If they win, they will take the place of the current leader; if they lose, they will have to wait a hundred years before they can challenge again!"
Chen Fei pondered for a moment and asked, "How many of these places, ranked between twenty-sixth and thirtieth, are occupied by extraterrestrial demons?"
A glint of light flashed in Wei Yangxia's eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "The twenty-eighth 'Soul-Eating Demon Lord' Yanli and the twenty-sixth 'Star-Melting Calamity Lord' Fenyu are both extraterrestrial demons."
Chen Fei nodded slightly and spoke again: "Elder Wei, is there a fight to the death in the Earth Ranking challenge? Once you enter the arena, it's a fight to the death, the winner lives and the loser dies, there is absolutely no way to admit defeat and retreat?"
Upon hearing this, Wei Yangxia's heart skipped a beat. She looked at Chen Fei, only to find that Chen Fei's eyes were calm and unwavering.
Wei Yangxia instantly understood Chen Fei's intention: not only to challenge the Earth Ranking, but also to kill the Heavenly Demon Earth Ranking experts in the most ruthless and merciless way!
Wei Yangxia took a deep breath, suppressing the turmoil in his heart, and said in a deep voice, "Yes! The Earth Ranking Challenge does have the option of a 'fight to the death,' but the price is extremely high, and no Immortal Realm cultivator has ever used it."
"Oh? What's the price?" Chen Fei's gaze sharpened.
"A fight to the death, challengers must place their bets first!"
Wei Yangxia's voice was solemn: "We need to stake a Sovereign Divine Weapon and 100,000 Immortal Mystic Crystals!"
Even though Chen Fei was mentally prepared, he couldn't help but frown slightly upon hearing this condition.
One hundred thousand Immortal Mystic Crystals, while not a small sum for Chen Fei's current wealth, are still manageable. However, he cannot produce a Sovereign Divine Weapon.
The Sovereign Divine Weapon is the natal item of a Sovereign Realm expert, containing the Daoist principles and rules of the Sovereign Realm, and possessing the power to destroy heaven and earth.
Most importantly, the materials required for its forging are almost extinct in the Xuan Yu Realm today, and their preciousness is comparable to that of fifteenth-rank spiritual materials. Each one is a treasure of a sect to suppress its fortune. Once lost, the loss is immeasurable and has a great impact on the strength of a Dominator Realm expert.
Wei Yangxia continued, "If the challenger loses the fight to the death, the Dominator Divine Weapon and the 100,000 Immortal Mystic Crystals they staked will all belong to the defender. And the defender has the right to choose to forfeit the fight to the death before the challenger officially steps onto the stage!"
Of course, if one forfeits, they are automatically declared the loser, stripped of their Earthly Ranking, and barred from ever reappearing on the Earthly Ranking for a thousand years. If they do step onto the arena, a fight to the death begins!
Chen Fei remained silent, her fingertips unconsciously stroking the teacup in her hand.
Only by fighting to the death can the possibility of the Heavenly Demons surrendering and escaping be completely cut off. Those Heavenly Demons on the Earth Ranking are all old monsters who have lived for tens of thousands of years and have endless ways to protect themselves. Even if Chen Fei has overwhelming combat power, he may not be able to completely capture them in an ordinary challenge.
Only by fighting to the death can we ensure a complete annihilation!
At the same time, this is also for the sake of the Xuan Yu Realm.
The demonic tide is surging. Every time a Heavenly Demon on the Earth Ranking is slain, a position on the Earth Ranking is vacated, and the area affected by the spreading demonic energy can be reduced. If it were just an ordinary challenge, the Heavenly Demon could simply concede defeat once they sense something is wrong, and their ranking would only drop by one place.
Furthermore, Chen Fei himself needs enough time to cultivate to the Dominator Realm, or even the peak of the Dominator Realm.
Therefore, the Xuan Yu Realm cannot undergo major changes or collapse. Slaying through the Earth Ranking is a way to buy time for both themselves and the Xuan Yu Realm to breathe!
However, the bet on that supreme divine weapon...
After thinking for a long time, Chen Fei looked up at Wei Yangxia and said, "Thank you for your explanation, Elder Wei."
"Elder Chen, you're too kind," Wei Yangxia said with a smile, waving his hand.
An hour later.
The main hall of the Illusionary Gate.
Inside the magnificent and solemn hall, which was empty and silent, Chen Fei's figure appeared silently. As soon as he appeared, the void in front of him slightly distorted, and a figure silently emerged, which was none other than the ancestor Le Boyang.
Le Boyang's gaze fell on Chen Fei, whose withered and decaying aura was like the most glaring mark. Even though Le Boyang had seen it several times, a trace of indescribable complexity and regret still flashed in his eyes at this moment.
Le Boyang spoke slowly, his voice calm: "Chen Fei, what brings you here?"
Chen Fei bowed respectfully, then raised his head, calmly meeting Le Boyang's deep eyes, and said in a low voice:
"Reporting to the Ancestor, this disciple wishes to challenge the Earth Ranking!"
Chen Fei paused slightly, then continued:
"A pact to fight to the death!"
