Chapter 1874 Profound Blessings (4K)
Wu Hongsheng watched helplessly as Yu Tiandui's body shattered completely under the combined attack of Wei Yangxia and Liang Fengqing. The dark golden demonic blood, along with the dissipated demonic soul essence, was swallowed by the Pure Demon Pool of the Fallen Demon Abyss, leaving only the shattered demonic weapon that had lost its luster.
A bone-chilling cold instantly swept through Wu Hongsheng's demonic soul core.
run!
At this moment, he had only one thought in his mind: to frantically squeeze out the demonic energy in his body and break out of this damned Abyss of Fallen Demons at all costs.
"Want to go?"
Chen Fei's figure appeared silently to the side and in front of Wu Hongsheng's escape path. The Qian Yuan Sword drew a seemingly ordinary trajectory that blocked all spatial changes.
Wei Yangxia and Liang Fengqing, one on the left and one on the right, clashed their swords, creating a net that completely blocked all possible escape routes for Wu Hongsheng.
Just now, Yu Tiandui was still alive, and even the two of them working together couldn't escape. Now, he was all alone, and his hope of breaking through was as slim as a candle flickering in the wind.
"Ah! You brat, I'll drag you down with me even in death!"
Despair grew wildly like a poisonous vine, completely devouring Wu Hongsheng's reason. The demonic flames in his eyes instantly transformed into a mad madness of mutual destruction, and the white bone battle blade in his hand emitted a piercing shriek that seemed to pierce the soul, its blade cracking inch by inch.
A devastatingly violent demonic energy erupted, transforming into a deathly pale blade of light that seemed capable of severing the cycle of cause and effect. Ignoring the attacks of Wei Yangxia and Liang Fengqing, it charged straight at Chen Fei with a determination to perish together with him.
This strike embodies Wu Hongsheng's lifelong cultivation, the essence of his demonic weapon, and even his burning demonic soul; its power has already faintly touched the threshold of the late-stage Immortal Realm.
Before the blade even arrived, the terrifying blade intent had already locked onto the void around Chen Fei, carrying a killing intent.
Chen Fei's eyes remained calm and undisturbed. The moment the blade's edge touched him, the spatial staircase beneath his feet silently collapsed, and his figure, like an ink droplet dissolving in water, slid back half a step in a manner that defied common sense and was almost instantaneous.
At the same time, the Qian Yuan Sword subtly rotated and drew back in front of him.
"Buzz!"
Time and space seemed to distort for a moment.
The devastating, pale blade light was actually deflected by Chen Fei's seemingly effortless deflection! By this slight difference, the fatal blade grazed the hem of Chen Fei's clothes and struck the churning, purifying pool in the distance, creating towering black waves.
"puff!"
At the same time, Wei Yangxia's Guixu Sword Light and Liang Fengqing's Annihilation Profound Light pierced through Wu Hongsheng's back and demonic soul core, which were completely exposed due to his desperate gamble.
"Uh……"
Wu Hongsheng's forward momentum suddenly froze, and the madness in his demonic eyes was quickly replaced by disbelief and death.
Wu Hongsheng could clearly feel the Immortal Crystal burning wildly within his body, attempting to repair the wound that had almost torn him apart. However, the power of Returning to Nothingness and Annihilation contained in the killing moves unleashed by Wei Liang and the other two were frantically counteracting the power of the Immortal Crystal and annihilating his life force.
Once, twice, three times... each repair was torn apart by even more violent destruction!
The light emanating from Wu Hongsheng's body flickered rapidly, and his aura plummeted like a burst dam. Under such relentless repair efforts and the continuous destructive attacks from Wei Liang and his companion, the reserves of immortal crystals within his body were quickly depleted.
Wu Hongsheng let out a roar filled with endless resentment and unwillingness. His entire demonic body crumbled like weathered rock, turning into nothingness along with the shattered white bone battle blade.
The Abyss of Demons silently receded, revealing once again the ruins of a dilapidated altar.
Chen Fei raised his hand, and where Yu Tian Dui and Wu Hongsheng had disappeared, several streams of light landed in front of him, which were just the remnants of the two immortal divine weapons.
"Elder Wei, Elder Liang," Chen Fei said calmly, looking at the two whose auras were slightly fluctuating but who were otherwise unharmed, "would you two like the remaining fortune of these two demons?"
Wei Yangxia and Liang Fengqing were both slightly taken aback upon hearing this.
Plundering destiny?
They were naturally aware of such methods, but usually only extremely rare, causally-involving extensions of the Void's secret treasures could achieve this. The two instantly realized that Chen Fei possessed such a secret treasure!
Wei Yangxia took a deep breath, suppressing his shock, and shook his head, saying, "No need, I don't have the power to plunder fortune."
Liang Fengqing shook his head as well, as he also lacked this Void Treasure Extension property.
Chen Fei nodded to the two men, and with a slight thought, the Purple Qi from the East - Purple Qi Karma Binding - quietly began to operate.
In mid-air, the fortune containing the remaining will and some original imprints of Yu Tiandui and Wu Hongsheng was forcibly stripped away and gathered by invisible threads of cause and effect, silently merging into Chen Fei's already exceptionally profound fortune.
Chen Fei could feel that his luck had surged again. If he went to the Earth Ranking to exchange for it, he could probably get nearly five thousand Immortal Mystic Crystals!
After doing all this, Chen Fei took out two storage bags from his sleeve, each containing five hundred portions of pure Immortal Mystic Crystals, and handed them to Wei Yangxia and Liang Fengqing respectively.
“The two elders fought hard and suffered considerable losses. These Immortal Mystic Crystals can be used to replenish their losses,” Chen Fei said with a smile.
Wei Yangxia and Liang Fengqing exchanged a glance, both seeing helplessness and a hint of melancholy in each other's eyes. Chen Fei's actions were clearly a way of compensating for monopolizing the luck.
"Elder Chen, you're being too polite!"
Wei Yangxia pushed the money away, his expression serious. "If you hadn't intervened just now, not only would we have suffered losses, but our lives would have been in danger! How can this kindness be measured by a few Immortal Crystals? If I were to accept it again, where would I, Wei Yangxia, put my old face? Take it back, and don't mention it again!"
Liang Fengqing firmly refused: "Elder Chen, I have not repaid even a fraction of the life-saving grace. If I were to accept your resources again, the backbone of my Xuantian Palace disciples would be broken! Please take it back! Today's matter is something I, Liang Fengqing, owe you!"
Seeing that the two elders were resolute, Chen Fei stopped insisting, nodded, and put the two storage bags away again. "In that case, we will do as you two elders say."
For a moment, the scene fell into a brief silence.
Wei Yangxia and Liang Fengqing's gazes fell on Chen Fei, filled with indescribable amazement and curiosity.
How long has it been? The Xuan Ranking prodigy who had just broken through to the Immortal Realm and still needed the protection of his sect is now able to kill a peak early-stage Immortal Realm Heavenly Demon with a flick of his wrist, and even play a decisive role in the confrontation with two mid-stage Immortal Realm Heavenly Demons.
The speed at which his strength has increased is simply unbelievable!
This is something that cannot be achieved through ordinary asceticism or the accumulation of resources.
However, on the path of cultivation, personal opportunities are paramount. Even though Wei Yangxia and Chen Fei had a good personal relationship, he knew that this was not something he could ask rashly.
Chen Fei noticed the almost overflowing question in their eyes, and a smile appeared on his face:
"It was all by chance. Deep within a very hidden spatial ruin, we discovered what appeared to be a sacred cultivation site left behind by an ancient civilization. The remaining rules of heaven and earth and the structure of primordial energy there were extremely ancient and unique, with miraculous effects on comprehension and the tempering of primordial power. We also unexpectedly found a fragmented secret technique to inherit."
As he spoke, Chen Fei pointed his fingers like a sword and made a vague slash in front of him.
There was no earth-shattering display, only a strange, extremely restrained black light flashed by, carrying the meaning of severing shackles and sealing spiritual energy—it was the Nine Hells Heaven-Slaying Vein.
Wei Yangxia and Liang Fengqing, being veteran Immortal Realm cultivators with extensive experience, immediately sensed that this technique was different from that of the Xuan Yu Realm. Moreover, in the battles among Immortal Realm cultivators in the Xuan Yu Realm, sealing spiritual energy was ineffective.
However, precisely because it had no effect and was so different from the Xuan Yu Realm, it confirmed what Chen Fei had just said.
Wei Yangxia sighed with some emotion: "Elder Chen, you are truly blessed. Your good fortune is enviable!"
"Just lucky." Chen Fei smiled faintly and let the matter drop.
Wei Yangxia calmed himself down, looked at Chen Fei, and said seriously, "Elder Chen, this Heavenly Pillar is fraught with danger, surrounded by Heavenly Demons, and even more so by the terrifying fire spirits nurtured by the secret realm itself. As you just witnessed, a slight misstep could lead to an attack. Why don't the three of us travel together? That way we can look out for each other."
Liang Fengqing nodded in agreement, “Elder Wei is absolutely right. With the three of us working together, our safety is greatly enhanced, and it will be much easier to find opportunities.”
Chen Fei hesitated for a moment. Traveling together would be safer, but it would make them too conspicuous. Moreover, he had not yet eliminated the malice of the Heavenly Dao. Acting together might harm Wei Yangxia and Liang Fengqing.
"Thank you for your kindness, elders."
Chen Fei cupped his hands in a gesture of polite refusal, saying, "The space within this Heavenly Pillar is layered with peaks and valleys, and opportunities are scattered. I am more accustomed to traveling alone, which makes things easier for me."
Upon hearing this, Wei Yangxia and Liang Fengqing exchanged a glance and, seeing Chen Fei's resolute attitude, did not insist any further.
Wei Yangxia clasped his hands and said, "In that case, I wish Elder Chen a successful trip! We will also go and explore elsewhere."
"Elder Chen, take care!" Liang Fengqing also bid farewell solemnly.
"Take care." Chen Fei returned the greeting with a cupped hand.
Watching Wei Liang and the other disappear in a streak of light, Chen Fei did not linger. His figure transformed into an imperceptible phantom, speeding along the spatial veins whose fluctuations of law were even more unique and subtle in his perception.
The interior of the Heavenly Pillar is a chaotic, layered space, like a giant honeycomb maze, where each space may be evolving different rule fragments or hiding strange relics.
They traversed several relatively intact spatial fragments. Some were rife with fire elemental energy, bearing traces of fierce battles; others were deathly silent, with only broken walls and ruins remaining; still others had disordered spatial laws, filled with natural spatial traps.
These places either bore the marks of previous plunderers or their opportunities had been eroded by time. Chen Fei did not gain much, nor did he encounter any powerful demons.
When Chen Fei stepped into a relatively stable but empty space filled only with jagged rocks and dried-up lava riverbeds, he stopped.
This fragmented space is not large. Apart from the faint sound of ancient lava flowing from the depths of the earth beneath our feet, we can hardly sense any active energy fluctuations or anything worth exploring.
"Since there is no opportunity, we might as well practice the technique."
With a slight thought, Chen Fei stepped into the Realm of Return to Nothingness.
The vast spiritual energy of heaven and earth flowed and swirled within the Void Realm. Chen Fei looked at the control panel.
"simplify!"
"Heavenly Dao Illusion Simplification in progress... Simplification successful... Heavenly Dao Illusion → Dream Entry Technique!"
Upon seeing the simplified result, Chen Fei was taken aback. This was a technique he had learned in the Endless Sea years ago.
A smile flashed in Chen Fei's eyes. The surrounding spiritual energy gathered and the Time Pavilion was enveloped. As Chen Fei activated the Dream Entry Technique, a vast amount of insights about the false form of the Heavenly Dao appeared in his sea of consciousness.
As time passed, the vast spiritual energy of the Guixu Realm transformed into visible purple lightning chains, spontaneously wrapping around Chen Fei's spiritual body. With each contraction and vibration of the chains, countless tiny purple runes, like dust particles, merged into Chen Fei's flesh, bones, and the essence of his soul.
After an unknown amount of time, when the last purple rune completely merged into Chen Fei's essence, the lightning chains binding his body suddenly contracted inward and dissipated silently.
The strange phenomena within the Guixu Realm suddenly subsided.
Chen Fei slowly opened his eyes, and his figure appeared inside the Heavenly Pillar of the Secret Realm.
Looking ahead, the entire space seemed different to Chen Fei.
Clear "veins" representing the strength and folding trajectory of space itself appeared in Chen Fei's perception.
It was as if Chen Fei could perfectly "imprint" his form into it with a single thought, like a stubborn rock, an ancient tree, or a ripple in space naturally formed by the Dao.
A sense of insight and "fit" originating from the level of spatial rules arises spontaneously.
With a thought, Chen Fei slightly activated the Heavenly Dao Illusion on himself, and a unique aura spread out. His figure seemed to resonate strangely with the giant rock beneath his feet and with the fundamental rules of this space.
"Ok?"
His incredibly keen senses immediately detected the changes within himself; the malice of the Heavenly Dao, rooted in his body and constantly emanating an aura of decay and curse, had noticeably dimmed.
Like a shadow cast by the scorching sun, its area has shrunk by almost half.
"It really worked!" A glint flashed in Chen Fei's eyes.
This ancient, secret technique is truly effective at erasing the malevolent marks of this world!
However, before the joy could dissipate, a chilling sensation suddenly rebounded along the channel through which the technique was performed.
Looking inward, Chen Fei's expression suddenly hardened.
On the originally pure and clear source, countless fine, spiderweb-like, dark purple "blood patterns" with faint stone textures were faintly emerging.
These blood-red patterns are not actual wounds, but rather imprints of pure laws originating from the Heavenly Dao of the Secret Realm.
While the Heavenly Dao False Form technique weakened the malice of the Heavenly Dao, it also caused his original form to be involuntarily corrupted and assimilated by this overly powerful, incomplete, and ancient Heavenly Dao.
Just like an ordinary drop of water falling into a pot of boiling, viscous oil, even if it doesn't evaporate instantly, it can't escape the fate of being contaminated and stained.
The illusion of Heaven's Way is a double-edged sword. The deeper one applies it, the more heavily one becomes tainted.
This is the price! And it is also the domineering nature of the Heavenly Dao in this secret realm!
"Assimilation..."
Chen Fei's gaze flickered, but he felt little fear, because the panel backup was enough to reverse everything.
What Chen Fei is thinking about now is that relying solely on the false form of the Heavenly Dao cannot completely erase the malicious imprint of the Heavenly Dao. If the imprint of the Heavenly Dao is not eliminated, it may pose a fatal threat to Chen Fei once it erupts.
"We need more ancient techniques that are closer to the core power level of this Heavenly Dao!"
Chen Fei looked up ahead. There was too much space inside this pillar of heaven. Searching aimlessly, he didn't know how long it would take before he had a chance to find such a cultivation technique.
Thinking of this, Chen Fei stirred up the immense fortune within him, seeking a connection from the unseen world.
