Chapter 1855 A Frog in a Well (4K)
From the appearance of three extraterrestrial demons at the early stage of the Immortal Realm on the stage to recognizing their identities, Qu Hongshan felt that he had survived a calamity and that no unexpected events would occur.
But then, an unexpected event occurred right before his eyes.
It's one thing for Chen Fei to have cultivated to the peak of the early stage of the Immortal Realm, but he also has an avatar, and the avatar's cultivation level is exactly the same as his main body.
According to the information he received, the fourteenth-rank spiritual material that Chen Fei used to break through to the early stage of the Immortal Realm was a reward from the Tianxuan Sect.
Moreover, this reward is not easy to obtain. One must use a life-and-death contract to drive away all the extraterrestrial demons in the top ten of the Xuan Ranking in order to obtain a fourteenth-grade low-level spiritual material.
To obtain another 14th-grade low-level physical cultivation material and possess sufficient Immortal Mystic Crystals, one must also drive away all the extraterrestrial demons within the top ten of the Mystic Ranking.
This is unprecedented and is unlikely to be repeated.
Even under such difficult circumstances, Chen Fei managed to obtain two low-grade fourteenth-rank spiritual materials. So where did Chen Fei's clone obtain the fourteenth-rank spiritual materials it needed?
The Illusionary Sect definitely doesn't have any fourteenth-tier spiritual materials anymore. In the entire Tianxuan Domain, apart from a handful of top-tier forces, there are only a few fourteenth-tier spiritual materials.
Other top-tier forces, such as the Illusionary Sect, would never hoard fourteenth-tier spiritual materials they obtain. Instead, they would give them directly to their true disciples to help them break through to the Immortal Realm.
Furthermore, if the Illusionary Sect truly possessed fourteenth-rank spiritual materials, it would be absolutely impossible for them to allow Chen Fei to challenge the Mysterious Ranking through a life-and-death contract.
Qu Hongshan couldn't understand what was going on with Chen Fei's clone, let alone the combat power that Chen Fei and his clone were displaying at this moment.
Chen Fei's main body and clone's sword strikes simultaneously pierced through the immortal power within the three Heavenly Demons, including Gu Yan.
The bonds between Gu Yan and the other two Heavenly Demons, and their ability to share damage, were all rendered meaningless by this sword strike.
Qu Hongshan had cultivated to the early stage of the Immortal Realm for many years and had naturally seen many powerful figures in the early stage of the Immortal Realm, but none of them could compare with the combat power that Chen Fei was displaying at this moment.
Qu Hongshan was still unable to accept the reality before him when Chen Fei and his clone joined forces once again to strike at the Heavenly Demon Gu Jun.
Gu Jun didn't have time to drag back the Palm Heaven Hammer that had been blown away, but he had already used all his life's knowledge, activating all the Void Treasures and their extended properties, in an attempt to resist Chen Fei and his clone's sword strike.
But soon, Gu Jun was horrified to discover that the moves he had unleashed in conjunction with the extended properties of the Void Treasure seemed to have no secrets whatsoever in front of Chen Fei.
Chen Fei and his clone aimed their swords directly at the weak points of Gu Jun's moves, and no matter how Gu Jun changed his tactics, Chen Fei and his clone could see through them at a glance.
If Gu Jun thought that the power of Chen Fei and his clone combined was too great when the Heavenly Hammer was blown away, making it impossible for him to resist, then it was because the Heavenly Hammer was blown away.
At that moment, Gu Jun suddenly realized just how vast the gap was between himself and Chen Fei!
It wasn't the power of the Void Treasure's fleeting omens, but rather Chen Fei's understanding of heaven and earth, combined with the extended characteristics of other Void Treasures, that produced such an effect.
The three brothers awakened the Three Lives Tribulation Chart and cultivated to the early stage of the Immortal Realm. They believed that each of them was no worse than the other early stage Immortal Realm cultivators.
If they join forces, they can kill any early-stage Immortal Realm cultivator.
But now Gu Jun realizes that he was just a frog in a well.
"boom!"
Chen Fei and his clone's swords once again pierced through Gu Jun's body. The so-called Void Treasure and the so-called supernatural powers had no effect whatsoever.
In front of Chen Fei and his clone, Gu Jun was as fragile as someone who was not even at the same level of immortality.
Not far away, Gu Yan and Gu Qi's faces turned deathly pale again. They were seriously injured once more, and a large amount of their collected Immortal Mystic Crystals had been consumed.
After being severely injured, Tianmo Gu Yan and Gu Qi did consider breaking through the surrounding spatial barriers and joining forces with Gu Jun to attack Chen Fei.
In terms of defense alone, relying solely on Gu Jun would certainly not be enough to withstand Chen Fei and his clone.
Only by uniting the strength of the three brothers can they fight against, or even kill, Chen Fei.
However, the barrier of the stage was too mysterious, and for a moment, they were unable to see through it and appear in front of Gu Jun.
As for destroying the illusion by attacking the stage, this method is absolutely feasible.
The combined attack from Qu Hongshan has already created many flaws in this illusion. If we continue to attack together a few more times, we will surely be able to break this stage illusion.
But Chen Fei and his clone didn't give them that chance just now.
They possess the Three Lives Tribulation Diagram, which mutually reinforces and allows them to share damage. Although Chen Fei and his clone's sword strike did not hit Gu Yan and Gu Qi, the immortal power within them was forcibly depleted because they shared the damage.
Although the Immortal Crystal replenished the immortal power in their bodies in an instant, there was still a process involved, during which they had no other power to attack the stage.
Of course, the Three Lives Tribulation Diagram can actually be broken. In other words, Gu Yan and Gu Qi can break the damage sharing with Gu Jun at this moment and then focus on attacking this illusion.
However, given the offensive power displayed by Chen Fei and his clone, if Gu Jun hadn't had them share the damage, he would probably have exhausted his Immortal Mystic Crystal in just two attacks, leading to his death.
Relying on the Immortal Crystal, those in the Immortal Realm can maintain their peak condition forever and seem to have no need to fear those stronger than themselves or those at a higher realm.
But clearly, this is an illusion.
In a battle between a mid-stage Immortal Realm cultivator and an early-stage Immortal Realm cultivator, if the early-stage Immortal Realm cultivator is seriously injured by a single move, the cultivator will have to consume two to three hundred Immortal Crystals.
If a peak Immortal Realm cultivator were to fight an early-stage Immortal Realm cultivator, a single palm strike would likely kill the early-stage Immortal Realm cultivator on the spot if they didn't have an Immortal Mystic Crystal and relied solely on their own strength.
Even with Immortal Mystic Crystals, if the amount of Immortal Mystic Crystals is less than a thousand, one might still die with a single blow.
The Immortal Crystal merely enhances the life force within your body, making you more resilient. However, if you encounter an opponent you cannot defeat and cannot escape, your death and demise are inevitable; at most, it will be delayed.
At this moment, Gu Yan and Gu Qi found themselves in a dilemma, unable to advance or retreat.
If they continue to maintain the Three Lives Tribulation Diagram and help Gu Jun absorb the damage, then they will be unable to attack the stage, and thus unable to appear in front of Gu Jun to fight against Chen Fei together.
However, if the Three Lives Tribulation Chart is dispelled, Gu Jun might die before they even break the stage, and the situation they face then might be even more difficult.
In the distance, after his initial shock, Qu Hongshan activated the fourteenth-tier Breaking Boundary Bead in his hand without hesitation.
Previously, Qu Hongshan wanted to use this Boundary-Breaking Pearl to get close to the boundary of the illusion and then directly escape from it.
No matter how hard Qu Hongshan tried, he could never achieve this.
Now, however, the situation is different. Three extraterrestrial demons at the early stage of the Immortal Realm have appeared together within the illusionary realm. Qu Hongshan, of course, no longer harbors any illusions about whether he can kill Chen Fei.
But while Chen Fei was being held back by Gu Yan and the other two extraterrestrial demons, they seized the opportunity to escape.
Numerous flaws have appeared on the horizon of the illusion, and in many of the damaged areas, the flames from the outside world can be seen directly.
Qu Hongshan's fourteenth-tier boundary-breaking bead was naturally no problem to use to break through the spatial barrier blocking him.
Once the spatial barrier is removed, one can escape by simply following the broken parts of the illusion.
Sure enough, as the fourteenth-order Boundary-Breaking Bead was activated, the spatial barrier around Qu Hongshan was instantly melted through.
Moreover, the power of the fourteenth-tier world-breaking bead did not disappear immediately; there was still residual power around its body.
This remaining strength was useless for breaking through the true barrier of the illusion, but it could not stop him from passing through the ordinary spatial barriers that followed.
This brief window of opportunity was enough for Qu Hongshan to escape.
Tianmo Gu Yan and Gu Qi noticed the changes on Qu Hongshan's side, but instead of seeing Qu Hongshan rushing towards Chen Fei, they saw him flying towards the damaged area on the horizon.
Tianmo Gu Yan and Gu Qi had gloomy expressions, but they had no right to rebuke them. After all, when they came to ambush Chen Fei, they thought they would kill Qu Hongshan as well.
However, if Qu Hongshan were willing to surround and kill Chen Fei, the current situation might change.
Qu Hongshan unleashed his fastest speed, but before he could reach the broken part of the illusion, a figure appeared in front of him—it was Chen Fei's past self.
Just now, Chen Fei was clearing out the fire spirits within a radius of tens of thousands of miles. As for the early-stage Immortal Realm fire spirit, it had already been killed by Chen Fei and the Night Demon Warrior.
The reason why Qu Hongshan, Gu Yan, and the other two had the opportunity to attack the stage together was because Chen Fei and the Night Demon Warrior dealt with the Immortal Realm Fire Spirit.
If it weren't for the Immortal Realm Fire Spirit causing a slight delay, the stage illusion wouldn't be damaged at this moment.
However, everything is still under Chen Fei's control. The fire spirits outside are no longer a threat for the time being, so his past self can now take action.
Since Gu Yan and the other two extraterrestrial demons, along with the Yuan Demon Qu Hongshan, had chosen to attack Chen Fei, Chen Fei was not prepared to let any of them go.
Chen Fei's cultivation level was the lowest among those present, only at the early stage of the Immortal Realm, and he only possessed Yuan Power. His physique was still at the thirteenth level, and he had not yet mastered the extended characteristics of the Void Treasure.
However, possessing the fourteenth-order top-grade Heavenly Cause Universe Record at the Great Perfection Realm, without seeking a direct confrontation, would be more than enough to trap Qu Hongshan.
When Qu Hongshan saw Chen Fei's past self appear before him, his joy at surviving the ordeal was instantly shattered, and a surge of anger that had been suppressed and unable to be resisted from the moment before erupted instantly.
"roll!"
Qu Hongshan roared furiously, and the dagger in his hand turned into a white crystal. At the same time, everything within a radius of ten thousand miles seemed to begin to slow down.
This is an absolute low temperature, resulting in an effect similar to time standing still.
Unrelated to the rules of time, yet possessing similar characteristics, this is the extended characteristic of Qu Hongshan's four Void Treasures, the effect of their combined use.
However, before this absolute icy force could land on Chen Fei's past self, Chen Fei's past self had already retreated in advance, avoiding the sharpness of this move.
Seeing Chen Fei's past self retreat, Qu Hongshan did not attempt to press his advantage. This past self of Chen Fei was merely summoned from the Void Treasure, and even if Qu Hongshan shattered it, it would have no effect on Chen Fei's true body.
The most important thing right now is to escape from here.
Before Qu Hongshan's figure could disappear, the phantom of the ancient Heavenly Court collapsing appeared above Qu Hongshan.
Moreover, just as Qu Hongshan's body was slightly affected, a brand-new causal stage completely enveloped him.
Chen Fei's past self could naturally use the Causal Stage, but he was limited by his weak foundation and lack of the Void Treasure Extension feature.
The power of the Karmic Stage that Chen Fei's past self unleashed was far inferior to that of his true self and the Night Demon Warriors.
"He taught me to let go of lingering resentment and to refrain from being coquettish..."
A chanting sound rang in Qu Hongshan's ears, startling him awake. Instinctively, Qu Hongshan thought that Chen Fei's true form had appeared in front of him.
But Qu Hongshan immediately realized what was happening, and his face contorted in shock.
At this moment, what Qu Hongshan hated most was this kind of stage, because it was this kind of stage that almost caused his death.
Ignoring the performers around him, Qu Hongshan charged toward the sky. The residual power of the fourteenth-order world-breaking bead on his body allowed him to directly break through the causal stage created by Chen Fei's past self.
But when Qu Hongshan leaped off the stage of cause and effect, he found that his position had shifted, and he didn't know when he was standing on the stage again.
Qu Hongshan was somewhat dazed until he saw the damage to the sky, and then he realized that he had indeed left the stage where Chen Fei had just performed his act.
But at this moment, Chen Fei turned around and was still standing not far from him, looking at him with a smile.
"what!"
A terrified and unwilling cry echoed across the stage. Qu Hongshan glanced over and saw that the Heavenly Demon Gu Jun's body and head had been pierced by two sword blades.
Just now, the Heavenly Demon Gu Jun was attacked in the same way, but he recovered from his injuries immediately. However, at this moment, the Heavenly Demon Gu Jun's aura has dropped to the point of near death.
Clearly, the Immortal Mystic Crystal in the hands of the Heavenly Demon Gu Jun has been exhausted, and he can no longer restore himself to his peak condition.
"laugh!"
Chen Fei himself flipped the Qian Yuan Sword and cleaved the Heavenly Demon Gu Jun in two from top to bottom, completely extinguishing his life force.
When Qu Hongshan saw this scene, his body trembled involuntarily, as if he could see his own fate.
"Damn it, Chen Fei, you really deserve to die!"
Not far away, the Heavenly Demon Gu Yan roared to the sky, and together with Gu Qi, he frantically smashed the Palm Heaven Hammer in his hand onto the ground of the stage.
Faced with a dilemma where they couldn't move forward or backward, Gu Yan and Gu Qi ultimately chose to sever the Three Lives Tribulation Diagram in order to try their luck.
Otherwise, if the Three Lives Tribulation Chart continues, Gu Jun will be safe for the time being, but once all the Immortal Mystic Crystals in the hands of the three of them are exhausted, Gu Jun will still die, and he and Gu Qi will not be able to escape either.
Rather than doing that, it's better to take the chances of Gu Jun holding out for a short time and then attack the stage.
But in the end, before the stage of cause and effect could be shattered, Gu Jun had already died and vanished.
Hearing the roar of the Heavenly Demon Gu Yan, Chen Fei and the Night Demon Warrior flashed and appeared in front of Gu Yan at the same time, slashing out with their swords.
"You want me dead? You're not having an easy time either!"
The Heavenly Demon Gu Yan completely ignored the two sword blades that were thrusting towards him, and instead slammed the Heavenly Palm Hammer into Chen Fei's head.
