Chapter 1894 I Want It All (4K)
Chen Fei calmly gazed at the distant fragment of the Heavenly Dao, which emanated a profound aura of a low-grade fifteenth-rank spirit material. He had previously envisioned a path to synthesize this material by continuously slaying fourteenth-rank experts to plunder fragments of their rank.
Although theoretically feasible, it seems incredibly difficult and almost impossible at this moment.
The gap between the fourteenth and fifteenth steps is like an insurmountable chasm!
Quantitative change leads to qualitative change? The number of fragments needed to accumulate would probably be astronomical, and whether a true fifteenth-tier spirit material can be successfully synthesized is still unknown!
This path takes too long and has too many variables!
However, the fragment of the Heavenly Dao before him gave Chen Fei a glimmer of hope.
The mysterious aura of the fifteenth-tier low-grade celestial status contained within it is like the most precious seed. Other peak-level immortal experts who obtain it may only be able to comprehend deeper levels of rules and greatly increase their strength, but they will not be able to reach the threshold of the fifteenth tier.
But Chen Fei is different. With this fragment of the Heavenly Dao, he might be able to nurture and grow this "seed".
Chen Fei has a great chance to use this as a foundation to truly cultivate a complete fifteenth-grade low-rank spiritual material, thereby directly reaching the Sovereign Realm!
But at this moment, around the fragment of the Heavenly Dao, dozens of peak Immortal Realm experts were probing and wary of each other.
The raging energy turbulence was enough to stop anyone who approached. Although Chen Fei was strong, he had not yet reached the peak of the Immortal Realm and did not have the strength to crush so many peak Immortal Realm cultivators.
Therefore, how could they possibly snatch the Heavenly Dao fragments from the jaws of so many covetous peak experts?
It's nothing but a fool's dream!
Even if Chen Fei manages to succeed by chance, he will inevitably become the target of public criticism.
Faced with the relentless pursuit of dozens of peak Immortal Realm cultivators, Chen Fei's agility was strong, but in the face of absolute numbers and the difference in their realms, his advantage vanished!
The ultimate outcome will inevitably be death and the annihilation of one's spiritual essence!
Moreover, the core area has been sealed off by a group of powerful individuals, making escape virtually impossible!
As Chen Fei's gaze swept across the perimeter of the battlefield, his heart sank.
Besides the peak Immortal Realm cultivators fighting in the core area, there are also a large number of late-stage Immortal Realm experts surrounding the outer perimeter!
Like a royal guard, they rely on the strongest members of their own faction to set up layers of formations, ready to provide support or intercept foreign enemies at any time.
At a glance, there are nearly a hundred experts at the late stage of the Immortal Realm or above on the entire battlefield. This is undoubtedly a terrifying force capable of crushing any single individual!
Putting aside the fragment of the Heavenly Dao, Chen Fei still faces a problem if he wants to obtain that fourteenth-grade top-rank spiritual material.
That means Chen Fei will definitely have to reveal his cultivation level as a late-stage Immortal Realm cultivator.
Because of his success in breaking through the Xuan Ranking, Chen Fei is extremely familiar to the entire Xuan Yu Realm's Immortal Realm, and even some Sovereign Realm cultivators.
The astonishing speed of cultivation—from the early stage of the Immortal Realm to the late stage in a short period of time—will inevitably attract countless greedy and suspicious eyes if exposed, leading to endless troubles!
How could Chen Fei obtain a high-ranking spiritual material under the watchful eyes of everyone without leaving any future troubles? He needed a perfect reason, a reason sufficient to explain his rapid advancement in cultivation without attracting any covetousness!
Give up? Absolutely not!
Whether it's the fourteenth-grade top-quality spiritual material or the fragment of the Heavenly Dao containing fifteenth-grade mysteries, both are crucial to Chen Fei! He must obtain them!
Chen Fei's eyes flickered slightly, a few thoughts flashed through his mind, and a plan quickly took shape in his mind!
Chen Fei silently withdrew from this space and came to a relatively secluded crevice.
Chen Fei pointed his fingers like a sword, the sharpness of the Nine Hells Severing Heaven Vein flowing from his fingertips. He wasn't slashing at the enemy, but rather gently gliding across his own three vital points: his brow, heart, and dantian.
"Buzz!"
An invisible, immense force, seemingly originating from the very source of life, was forcibly stripped away.
This power is as vast as the starry sea, containing an almost inexhaustible aura of life force!
Chen Fei activated the spatial grid, collecting and sealing away all the stripped-off, immense life force.
In an instant, the purple-gold light flowing over Chen Fei's body rippled slightly, and an aura that was both powerful and indescribably decadent, desolate, and like a candle flickering in the wind emanated from Chen Fei's body.
If an immortal were present at this moment, they would discover that Chen Fei's lifespan might be less than a hundred years!
This decay was so severe that it could not even be concealed.
The Immortal Realm is said to grant lifespans equal to the heavens!
Throughout the long history of the Xuan Yu Realm, there have only been Immortal Realm cultivators who died in battle, but never those whose lifespans had run out.
An Immortal Realm expert with less than a hundred years left to live? This is simply unbelievable!
The only explanation is that it damaged the most core and fundamental life essence of the Immortal Realm! This kind of injury cannot be repaired even by a massive amount of Immortal Crystals; it truly touches upon the incompleteness of the life imprint!
Chen Fei's current state perfectly reflects this.
Chen Fei wanted everyone to believe that his current cultivation level was achieved at an extremely high price, burning almost endless lifespan in exchange for a fleeting moment of spiritual light.
This is an extreme, almost insane, trade!
The price was too high. A hundred years of lifespan was but a fleeting moment for someone in the Immortal Realm. Even if one fully comprehended a fourteenth-tier top-grade cultivation technique, without the corresponding spiritual materials of a certain rank, one's realm would still be unable to break through.
Especially the fifteenth-grade low-rank spiritual materials needed to break through to the Dominator Realm are extremely rare and hard to come by!
If one cannot break through to the Dominator Realm within a hundred years, the end result will be the true exhaustion of lifespan, death, and annihilation! To outsiders, this choice is tantamount to drinking poison to quench thirst, utterly foolish!
This was exactly the effect Chen Fei wanted: a "reasonable" explanation for his soaring cultivation level, and the near-death experience of his lifespan minimizing the covetousness of others.
With the disguise complete, Chen Fei once again activated Void Shadow and Time-Stealing Gap to suppress his aura fluctuations to the minimum, then tore open the spatial barrier again and stepped into the chaotic battlefield.
Chen Fei scanned the area and quickly spotted Huo Yuheng, an elder of the Illusionary Sect, at the edge of the battlefield.
Chen Fei no longer concealed himself and revealed his figure. Braving the aura of decay and desolation, he carefully flew towards Elder Huo Yuheng's location.
Although the battlefield was chaotic, the various forces were clearly distinct.
Chen Fei's approach immediately caught the attention of Liu Chengrui, a late-stage Immortal Realm cultivator in the cultivator camp.
When Liu Chengrui saw that it was Chen Fei, his brows furrowed subconsciously. He was about to send a telepathic message to tell Chen Fei to leave this dangerous place when he suddenly sensed the aura of the late-stage Immortal Realm emanating from Chen Fei!
Liu Chengrui's pupils shrank sharply, and his face was instantly filled with disbelief and astonishment!
But immediately afterward, Liu Chengrui clearly sensed that beneath Chen Fei's powerful aura lay a life essence that was teetering on the brink of collapse, decaying and withered like a candle flickering in the wind.
The fluctuations in lifespan, less than a hundred years, were like a cold, clear brand, instantly turning the astonishment on Liu Chengrui's face into extreme shock and bewilderment.
The commotion attracted the attention of Huo Yuheng, who was confronting a powerful Heavenly Demon.
Huo Yuheng's divine sense swept over Chen Fei, and the aura of the late-stage Immortal Realm exploded in his sea of consciousness like thunder. But what shocked him even more was the dense, impenetrable aura of decay and death emanating from Chen Fei.
Huo Yuheng frowned, suddenly unleashed his Yuan Power, forced back the Heavenly Demon in front of him, and his figure transformed into a stream of light, instantly appearing in front of Chen Fei.
Huo Yuheng looked at Chen Fei and, confirming the aura of decay emanating from him, frowned even more deeply.
"Chen Fei, what's going on? Your cultivation level and your lifespan..."
A bitter yet calm smile appeared on Chen Fei's face as he whispered:
"Elder Huo, I accidentally entered a dangerous secret realm, my fundamental foundation was shattered, and my lifespan was rapidly depleting. But for some reason, my comprehension of the rules of heaven and earth and the profound mysteries of cultivation techniques reached an unprecedented level. Later, I was fortunate enough to obtain a mid-grade fourteenth-rank spiritual material and a high-grade fourteenth-rank spiritual material, which enabled me to reach my current level. However, my lifespan has almost completely run out..."
As Huo Yuheng listened to Chen Fei's story, he felt a mix of emotions.
The breakthrough of a prodigy within the sect to the late stage of the Immortal Realm should have been a joyous occasion worthy of celebration.
But Chen Fei actually paid the price of endless lifespan to achieve this almost fleeting realm!
This price is too extreme. With Chen Fei's talent, if he had cultivated step by step, it would have been only a matter of time before he reached the late stage of the Immortal Realm. There was no need for this!
Huo Yuheng took a deep breath, suppressing the complex emotions in his heart, and asked in a deep voice:
"You risked coming here for the fragment of the Heavenly Dao? That's too dangerous! The dangers here far exceed your imagination. Even someone at the late stage of the Immortal Realm can only serve as an assistant here and will find it difficult to participate in the core competition!"
Chen Fei shook his head, his gaze fixed on the direction of the fourteenth-grade top-rank spiritual material, and said:
"I did not come here for the fragments of the Heavenly Dao. Perhaps due to the influence of that perilous secret realm, I am exceptionally sensitive to the aura of rank-specific spiritual materials. This is how I sensed mid-grade and high-grade rank-14 spiritual materials. And here, I sensed a rank-14 top-grade rank-specific spiritual material!"
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuheng's eyes flashed with surprise. A fourteenth-grade top-rank spiritual material? There are such treasures here?
Considering Chen Fei's current level of cultivation and his "special connection" with the spiritual materials of his counterpart, it seems quite reasonable.
Huo Yuheng thought for a moment, then asked in a low voice:
"If you can obtain that fourteenth-grade top-rank spiritual material, can you use it to break through to the peak of the Immortal Realm?"
This is the key. If Chen Fei can break through to the peak of the Immortal Realm, although his lifespan will still be less than a hundred years, his strength will increase greatly, and he may be able to fight for a chance of survival in desperate situations in the future.
Chen Fei smiled and nodded: "Sure! I have fully comprehended the core of the sect's cultivation technique and the extended characteristics of the Void Treasure. Now, all I need is a fourteenth-grade top-quality spiritual material, and I can naturally reach the peak of the Immortal Realm!"
Huo Yuheng's gaze sharpened, and he made a decision in an instant.
For someone at the peak of the Immortal Realm like him, a fourteenth-grade top-quality spiritual material still has value and can be exchanged for a large amount of Immortal Mystic Crystals.
However, if we can help Chen Fei break through to the peak of the Immortal Realm, not only will the strength of the sect increase, but the ancestor's reward will also be substantial upon his return to the Illusionary Sect.
Huo Yuheng looked in the direction Chen Fei indicated, and saw an area tens of thousands of miles away from the fragments of the Heavenly Dao.
"Alright! I'll help you!" Huo Yuheng said in a deep voice.
As soon as Huo Yuheng finished speaking, he immediately used a secret technique to transmit his voice to a woman on the other side of the battlefield, who was dressed in the robes of an elder of the Xuantian Palace and had a dignified and noble demeanor.
It was Huo Yuheng's Daoist partner, Qian Shulan, an elder of Xuantian Palace.
Although the two were Daoist partners, Qian Shulan did not join the Illusion Sect and remained an elder in the Xuantian Palace.
"Shulan! Come quickly!" Huo Yuheng's voice transmission was urgent.
Qian Shulan was locked in battle with a Heavenly Demon when she heard her Daoist partner's urgent summons. She immediately unleashed her Yuan Power, forcing her opponent back. Her figure transformed into a streak of black light and instantly appeared beside Huo Yuheng.
"What is it..." Qian Shulan's words stopped abruptly, her gaze falling on Chen Fei, and she froze instantly.
The aura of the late-stage Immortal Realm, along with the dense, heart-palpitating aura of decay and death, caused even this seasoned peak Immortal Realm expert to subtly change her expression.
"You are Chen Fei? What is your cultivation level, and what is your lifespan?!"
Qian Shulan's face was filled with the same disbelief and horror as Huo Yuheng had shown earlier.
Huo Yuheng quickly and concisely informed Qian Shulan about Chen Fei's situation and the existence of the fourteenth-grade top-quality spiritual material.
Qian Shulan's gaze sharpened instantly, sweeping over Chen Fei's young face, which was filled with a heavy sense of decay, and then looking towards the seemingly peaceful area tens of thousands of miles away from the fragments of the Heavenly Dao.
Qian Shulan frowned and said in a deep voice:
“Yuheng, although that place is not in the core area of contention for the Heavenly Dao fragments, the entire region is like a volcano right now! Any move that approaches that area could be mistaken for coveting the Heavenly Dao fragments or having other motives! If we rush over there, we are very likely to be besieged by multiple forces!”
Even with our combined cultivation levels, plus Chen Fei's, we absolutely couldn't withstand the combined onslaught of these powerful individuals!
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuheng's expression also turned serious.
At this moment, the nerves of all the powerful figures in the arena were stretched to the limit; any slight movement could trigger a chain reaction. Forcing their way through was far too risky, almost tantamount to suicide.
He looked at Qian Shulan, his eyes asking, "Shulan, do you have a good plan?"
Qian Shulan's beautiful eyes flickered slightly, and she lowered her voice, saying, "We can't force our way in! If our goal is merely that fourteenth-grade top-rank spiritual material, and not the fragment of the Heavenly Dao, then we might as well just ignite this stalemate!"
Qian Shulan's gaze swept over the peak experts in the arena, who were wary and probing each other, and she said coldly:
"Let these covetous fellows tear off their masks and fight each other to the death over the Heavenly Dao Fragment! Once a certain force obtains the Heavenly Dao Fragment, or the struggle intensifies, everyone's attention will be completely drawn to it! At that time, we can take advantage of the chaos to seize that rank-based spiritual material!"
Chen Fei listened quietly from the side, quickly weighing the options in his mind.
Qian Shulan's plan is indeed feasible. The fragments of the Heavenly Dao are of immeasurable value. Once the struggle truly erupts, it will inevitably cause the world to collapse and all the powerful figures' attention will be firmly locked onto the core battlefield.
However, a crucial question arose in Chen Fei's mind: if the fragments of the Heavenly Dao were truly taken away, would they be refined by the powerful figure who took them in a short period of time?
After all, who among those who can cultivate to the peak of the Immortal Realm doesn't have a few trump cards up their sleeve? Forcibly refining the fragments of the Heavenly Dao is difficult, but not impossible.
Chen Fei's gaze swept over the distant fragment of the Heavenly Dao that emitted an alluring mystical light, and then looked at the dozens of peak Immortal Realm experts around him, their auras clashing and clashing.
Chen Fei lowered his voice and said to Huo Yuheng and Qian Shulan, "Elder Huo, Elder Qian, I have a method that might be worth trying!"
