Chapter 1881 Unexpected Gain (4K)
Lu Zijing stood frozen on the dimly lit stage, dressed in that eerie costume, surrounded by silent performers. Lu Zijing's scarlet demonic eyes suddenly shot up, piercing through the pervasive dim light, and locked onto the figure standing with his hands behind his back, who had appeared out of nowhere in the sky above the stage.
Chen Fei!
He stood on the stage, like a god looking down upon the mortal world, his eyes filled with calm and indifferent indifference.
Lu Zijing's heart sank to the bottom in an instant, and an indescribable chill shot from his tailbone straight to the top of his head.
He was trapped in this bizarre illusion, completely unaware of when the other party appeared above him. Just how incredible was Chen Fei's mastery of this illusion?
"Elder Chen... Elder Chen!"
Lu Zijing forcibly suppressed the shock and humiliation in his heart, his voice trembling slightly.
"Misunderstanding! It's all a misunderstanding! I... was blinded by greed and acted rashly! We are all allies, and now that the extraterrestrial demons are rampaging through the Xuan Yu Realm, it is precisely the time when we need to work together! What happened today was my fault. I am willing to swear a demonic oath and offer all my treasures, only begging Elder Chen to show mercy and spare my life. In the future, I will definitely do my best to help the Illusionary Sect fight against the demons!"
Lu Zijing spoke rapidly, his posture extremely humble, his crimson demonic eyes filled with pleading. In this life-or-death situation, the dignity of a late-stage Immortal Realm peak cultivator was nothing compared to the importance of survival.
Chen Fei stood in the sky, his gaze sweeping indifferently over the humble Lu Zijing below, his voice devoid of any emotion:
"Misunderstanding? When you attacked me, did you ever consider the possibility of a misunderstanding? Did you ever think of sparing my life?"
Lu Zijing's pleading expression froze instantly. His mouth opened slightly, and he was about to explain that he "only wanted to test" or "did not intend to kill," when he saw Chen Fei slowly raise his right hand.
That hand seemed to contain the immense power to control the universe and overturn heaven and earth, and it pressed down silently onto the stage below and onto Lu Zijing.
As Chen Fei pressed down with his palm, the entire stage space suddenly froze!
The dim, yellowish light gathered and compressed as if it were a tangible substance, transforming into a gigantic palm print that blotted out the sky.
Countless mysterious and unpredictable rule runes flowed across the palm print, which was the ultimate power evolved from the Heavenly Cause of the Universe Record at the Great Perfection Realm.
Within this stage of cause and effect, Chen Fei is the supreme creator.
Because the Heavenly Record of the Universe granted Chen Fei the power to see through all things and control the rules, although his absolute advantage of control was weakened due to the improvement of his opponent's realm, he was still more than capable of dealing with a late-stage peak Immortal Realm cultivator.
Moreover, Chen Fei is now at the late stage of the Immortal Realm, and the power of the Heavenly Cycle Record has increased significantly, far surpassing his mid-stage Immortal Realm cultivation.
The strike that Lu Zijing had just unleashed with all his might failed to even cause a ripple on the stage.
Seeing the colossal hand that blotted out the sky and exuded an aura of ending all things fall, Lu Zijing's last shred of hope was completely extinguished.
Why won't you give us a way out? Why?!
Amidst a desperate roar, Lu Zijing's eyes were instantly filled with a frenzied crimson. He knew that begging for mercy was useless; only fighting to the death mattered!
"burst!"
Within Lu Zijing's body, several Void Treasures and their extended properties were forcibly ignited and shattered by him using a secret technique.
Myriad Celestial Patrols, the Void Dao Sword... all powers burn and merge in destruction.
The demonic blade in Lu Zijing's hand let out a mournful cry of unbearable strain, its blade cracking inch by inch. A terrifying blade intent, a mixture of destruction, annihilation, insight, and nothingness, soared into the sky, transforming into a pitch-black demonic rainbow that tore through the dim yellow sky. With a resolute determination to perish together, it fiercely slashed towards Chen Fei in the sky above!
Faced with that deadly strike that was enough to rival the peak of an ordinary Immortal Realm cultivator, Chen Fei's giant palm only paused slightly. The runes of rules flowed in his palm, as if forming an invisible vortex of returning to nothingness.
"puff!"
The earth-shattering, pitch-black demonic rainbow crashed into the vortex in the palm, but it was like a mud ox entering the sea; without even a crackling sound, it was silently annihilated and devoured by the power of the Void.
The giant hand continued its downward momentum without pausing for even a moment, crashing down towards the path below!
"what!"
Lu Zi's eyes widened in shock and despair. His internal power was briefly disrupted by the self-destruction of his secret treasure, leaving him no time to launch a second attack. In despair, he could only hold the cracked and severely damaged demonic blade in front of him, attempting a final act of defense.
However, before that colossal, all-encompassing hand of the Void, Lu Zi was as insignificant as an ant.
The shadow of death, like a cold tide, instantly overwhelmed Lu Zijing's demonic soul.
Regret? Why didn't you leave immediately after obtaining the Immortal Mystic Crystal Pillar, instead of coveting that fourteenth-grade high-level spiritual material!
Unwilling? He, a peak late-stage Immortal Realm cultivator who had dominated for countless years, was about to perish at the hands of a junior who had just broken through to the late-stage Immortal Realm?
Lu Zi was so shocked that he wanted to scream, to beg for mercy again, and to do everything he could to save his life.
However, the terrifying pressure brought by the giant hand that was falling down completely solidified the space around him, making it impossible to make a sound.
Lu Zijing could only watch helplessly as the shadow that would end everything completely engulfed him...
"boom!"
The giant hand of Guixu slammed down without any resistance!
Lu Zijing's demonic body, along with the broken demonic sword, disintegrated and vanished instantly, like ice and snow thrown into a furnace.
However, at the very moment its life force was completely extinguished, a vast and boundless power of immortal origin, like a torrent bursting through a dam, suddenly erupted from the place where Lu Zijing was annihilated!
More than three thousand immortal crystals instantly burned away, transforming into the power to reshape the demonic body and reverse life and death.
A dark golden demonic light flashed, and Lu Zijing's demonic body, which had turned to ashes, instantly reformed and reassembled. Although his aura fluctuated slightly, it had already returned to its peak state.
Immortal Mystic Crystals are capable of reversing life and death in battles within the Immortal Realm.
Lu Zijing, who had come back from the dead, no longer showed any madness or rage on his face, only deep-seated fear and bewilderment.
escape!
We must escape this damned illusion immediately!
Lu Zijing's demonic eyes widened in fury, and his Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Patrol Demonic Eyes operated frantically. His divine sense, like the most precise compass, scanned every inch of space on the stage, every flow of rules, and every energy fluctuation.
however--
The stage remains the same.
The dim, yellowish light remained.
The actors, still silently surrounding them, remained.
No matter how Lu Zijing investigated, the stage was a complete and self-contained whole, with self-consistent rules and a flawless flow of energy, just like a real and independent, fully functioning world.
There's absolutely no flaw to be found!
"He taught me to let go of lingering resentment and to refrain from being coquettish..."
The melodious and poignant opera singing, carrying an endless sense of desolation and loneliness, resonated once again deep within Lu Zijing's soul, like a demonic sound.
The sound wasn't an attack, but it carried an indescribable corrosive power, causing Lu Zijing's already extremely tense mind to feel as if it had been thrown into boiling oil and cold water, instantly making him irritable, anxious, and even on the verge of collapse!
The more agitated one becomes, the more chaotic one's thoughts become, and the less able one is to concentrate on perceiving and deducing the rules and patterns of this illusion.
In the instant his mind faltered, Chen Fei's enormous hand, seemingly capable of annihilating the heavens, silently descended once more from the sky.
Lu Zi looked up in horror, his eyes filled with only the shadow that obscured everything.
There is no way to retreat! There is no way to stop them!
"No!"
The desperate screams were completely sealed off by the frozen space.
"boom!"
As the giant hand descended, the demonic body disintegrated and vanished once more!
After more than ten breaths.
"Om..."
The dimly lit stage vanished like a bubble, and the surrounding scenery returned to the secret realm where flames surged.
Chen Fei's figure appeared in mid-air.
Below, Lu Zijing's figure, along with his broken demonic blade, had vanished without a trace. Only a wisp of pure and powerful fortune remained, which Chen Fei silently plundered and merged into himself by using the Purple Qi Eastward - Purple Qi Karma Binding technique.
Chen Fei looked down at the dark gold crystal pillar in his hand, which was flowing with viscous immortal substance. It was the immortal mystic crystal pillar that Lu Zijing had seized inside the tower.
Chen Fei probed in with his divine sense.
"A seal? No wonder this mystic crystal pillar was left behind."
Chen Fei instantly understood why Lu Zijing hadn't directly absorbed and utilized it; it turned out that the immortal substance contained within the crystal pillar was in a special "inert" sealed state.
A rough estimate suggests that the total amount of immortal matter contained within this crystal pillar is astonishing, enough to convert nearly ten thousand portions of ordinary immortal mystic crystals.
Such a massive amount of wealth is enough to move any late-stage Immortal Realm expert. No wonder Lu Zijing had previously lurked in that space, and even though the tower was surrounded by Fire Spirit experts, he still tried to seize it.
Suddenly, Chen Fei's mind stirred slightly.
A faint yet exceptionally clear fluctuation reappeared in the darkness, stirring Chen Fei's soul—the aura of a fourteenth-grade high-level spiritual material!
Although it was much fainter than what I had sensed before, it was still undeniably real.
"As expected..." Chen Fei's eyes flickered slightly, confirming his suspicions.
Within this bizarre and insane Fire Spirit Secret Realm, slaying immortal beings from the Xuan Yu Realm—whether cultivators, Yuan Demons, or extraterrestrial demons—can trigger a certain "gift" from the Heavenly Dao of the Secret Realm, revealing traces of high-ranking spiritual materials.
The more you kill, the stronger you become, and the clearer this feeling becomes.
Even if one has already obtained one, it seems that as long as one continues to kill, one can obtain guidance again. This secret realm's Heavenly Dao is frantically encouraging and catalyzing the infighting among those who enter!
The fourteenth-grade high-quality spiritual material is somewhat useful to Chen Fei now, and he will naturally try to acquire it if the opportunity arises, but he will not be persistent if the opportunity is not good.
Of course, if the guidance was for a fourteenth-grade top-quality spiritual material, Chen Fei would not hesitate.
Chen Fei lowered his head, sensing the tide of energy spreading around him.
With the slightest thought, the Nirvana Return to Dust Method and the Void Secret Treasure Void Shadow simultaneously operate to their extreme.
After breaking through to the late stage of the Immortal Realm, Chen Fei's understanding and control over the world changed.
A mysterious and unpredictable fluctuation emanated from Chen Fei's body, like the most sophisticated "disguise," forcibly "assimil" Chen Fei's own presence and the aura of that spiritual material into the surrounding environmental rules.
The powerful energy tide that was originally enough to cover an area of tens of millions of miles was forcibly compressed and smoothed out by an invisible hand. Its radiation range was reduced from tens of millions of miles to within a million miles.
Although still conspicuous, the risk of exposure has been greatly reduced compared to before.
Furthermore, the fluctuations that had been constantly seeping outwards from the Qi tide were now forcibly smoothed out. In other words, Chen Fei did not need to worry that the powerful beings outside this space would sense the Qi tide.
Chen Fei flashed and entered the depths of the void of the Guixu Realm.
With a wave of his hand, fragments of Lu Zijing's shattered demonic blade, along with nearly a thousand pure immortal crystals, appeared.
Although the demonic blade fragments have lost much of their spiritual power, the fragments of rules inherent in their material are still excellent "nourishment" for the Void Realm.
Chen Fei reached out and touched the fragment of the demonic blade. The vast Yuan Power, carrying the fragment of the demonic blade and the torrent of immortal Xuan Crystal, was poured into the origin of the Guixu Realm.
"Boom!"
The entire Guixu Realm trembled violently!
Above the sky, the Milky Way circulates at an accelerated pace, and the extraordinary phenomenon of the sun and moon shining together reappears.
Deep within the earth, the spiritual veins surged and expanded like dragons, spewing forth even purer and more powerful primordial energy.
Countless profound rule runes manifested from the void, imprinting themselves between heaven and earth, making the spatial structure of the entire plane more stable and profound, and the rule system more perfect and powerful.
The Guixu Realm has undergone another transformation, from the middle grade of the fourteenth rank to the upper grade of the fourteenth rank.
Within the Realm of Return to Nothingness, countless beings, sensing the seemingly endless sublimation and transformation between heaven and earth, all wore blank expressions.
"Our realm lord has broken through again? How long has it been?"
A newly promoted tenth-tier cultivator gazed up at the strange phenomenon in the sky, muttering to himself. The shock from the last transformation of the Guixu Realm had not yet subsided, and a new, even more massive transformation had already arrived.
Most importantly, the last transformation happened just a few days ago!
He obtained this opportunity during the transformation of the Guixu Realm a few days ago, and broke through to the tenth-order Realm Lord Realm in one fell swoop.
Chen Fei sat cross-legged at the core of the Guixu Realm's origin, the radiance of the Time Pavilion silently scattering and enveloping the surroundings.
A massive amount of immortal mystic crystals swirled around Chen Fei like a galaxy, being frantically refined and absorbed by the Great Perfection Realm Heavenly Cause Universe Record, transforming into the purest primordial power, which was continuously injected into Chen Fei's ocean of primordial power and the core of his divine soul.
Time flew by rapidly under the acceleration of the Time Pavilion.
After an unknown amount of time, the torrent of immortal mystic crystals surrounding Chen Fei finally dissipated.
"Buzz!"
A powerful aura erupted from Chen Fei's body, instantly sweeping across the entire Guixu Realm!
Peak of the late stage of the Immortal Realm!
The moment his realm stabilized, Chen Fei's mind naturally sank into his body, sensing the Void Treasure that he had already refined but had never developed any special characteristics—the Momentary Omen!
This powerful secret, which originates from the projection of the rules of time and can glimpse fleeting scenes of the future, had its core depths awakening when Chen Fei broke through to the late stage of the Immortal Realm.
Chen Fei activated the instantaneous premonition, and an invisible force of attraction descended. Chen Fei's soul instantly broke free from the constraints of his physical body, transforming into an invisible stream of light and entering the origin of the void.
The scene before my eyes changed, and in the distance, five orbs of light, each with a different shape and emanating a different rhythm of time, floated silently like stars.
Each ray of light represents a new characteristic extending from the Void Treasure of Momentary Omens.
