Chapter 1989 Breakthrough, Late Stage of the Dominator Realm
Outside the Thousand-Petaled Demon Lotus Realm, amidst the surging, dense demonic clouds, Liao Ruiheng, clad in a vibrant red robe, stood against the wind.
His gaze fell upon the figure standing silently at the core of the formation in the jungle.
Even though two demonic cultivators at the peak of the fifteenth level had just perished in this person's formation, including a prodigy who had forged a profound foundation of Dao, Liao Ruiheng's handsome, almost demonic face showed no trace of heartache or anger.
Instead, a more pronounced, playful smile appeared on his lips, and his strange eyes, one black and one red, gleamed with an excited light, as if he had discovered a new and exciting toy.
"interesting……"
A barely audible murmur slowly escaped from Liao Ruiheng's lips. His voice was initially a deep, magnetic male voice, but at the end, it carried a hint of soft, seductive femininity, creating a chilling and eerie charm.
To Liao Ruiheng, the fall of a mere fifteenth-level ultimate demonic cultivator, even if he was a genius who had forged a profound foundation of Dao, was nothing more than an insignificant ripple in the long course of time, unable to stir up any waves in his heart.
But discovering something truly interesting, like this seemingly ordinary little array cultivator who always brings unexpected surprises, is far more important than those boring losses!
"Brother Kuang..."
Liao Ruiheng slowly turned his head, his heterochromatic eyes, which seemed to be able to bewitch souls, and looked at the figure standing tall under the blazing sun opposite him.
Liao Ruiheng's voice had now completely transformed into a melodious and alluring female voice, like a lover whispering in his ear, possessing an indescribable charm, as he softly asked:
"Look at that interesting little guy down there. He just killed so many level 15 beings in succession. The fragments of his rank extracted are enough to condense a complete level 15 high-grade rank spiritual material, right?"
"You tell me... once he uses this to break through to the late stage of the fifteenth rank, will he continue to wait for prey to come to him in his tortoise shell formation, just like now? Or... will he choose to take the initiative, rush out, and hunt down the men of my Black Fiend City?"
Faced with Liao Ruiheng's probing question, Kuang Yezhou's crimson aura, as bright as the sun, rippled slightly.
He didn't turn to look at Liao Ruiheng, his gaze remaining calmly fixed on the Thousand Lotus Demon Realm below. He replied in a steady, unwavering tone, "For cultivators, relying on the formation is the best strategy, so naturally, we should stay where we are."
"Hehehe..."
Upon hearing Kuang Yezhou's unoriginal answer, Liao Ruiheng couldn't help but let out a light laugh. The laugh started as a soft, feminine laugh, but halfway through, it suddenly became rough and unrestrained.
"However, for a formation cultivator like him, setting up a portable formation doesn't seem to be a very difficult task, does it?"
Liao Ruiheng's voice switched back to a male voice, tinged with a hint of mockery, "After all, he just performed a rather impressive array teleportation right in front of us!"
Upon hearing this, Kuang Yezhou's expression remained unchanged, but the corners of his mouth curled up slightly in an almost imperceptible arc.
He slowly turned his head, fixing his gaze formally on Liao Ruiheng opposite him. His voice remained calm, yet carried a subtle, rhetorical question:
"With his current cultivation level of only the mid-stage of the fifteenth rank, he is already able to rely on the formation to kill the fifteenth rank limit cultivator who has forged the Xuan Yuan Dao Foundation."
"If he breaks through to the late stage of the fifteenth rank, the power of the formation will inevitably increase accordingly. At that time, aren't you afraid that he will actually control that mobile killing formation and hunt down your demon cubs everywhere?"
"If he really did that..."
Upon hearing Kuang Yezhou's question, Liao Ruiheng showed no sign of worry. Instead, he extended a slender finger and gently licked his bright red lips. His voice returned to its alluring, seductive tone, punctuated by a soft laugh filled with anticipation and excitement.
"Hehehehe... That would be so much fun! I can't wait to see it!"
Kuang Yezhou glanced at Liao Ruiheng's frenzied appearance, shook his head slightly, and stopped talking. He slowly turned his head back and cast his gaze back down at the Thousand-Petaled Demon Lotus Realm.
But this time, his gaze swept over other areas.
Although Chen Fei's side successfully killed two level 15 ultimate demonic cultivators with their exquisite formation, achieving a rare victory.
However, judging from the overall battle situation, the cultivators are still at a clear disadvantage, and this disadvantage is constantly widening!
From other areas, the agonizing aura of cultivators on their deathbeds and the ripples of shattered array shields could be heard. Clearly, a one-sided massacre was unfolding in many more places!
A solemn expression crept onto Kuang Yezhou's brow.
Deep within the Thousand Lotus Realm, in the heart of that forest ravaged by a great battle.
Chen Fei stood quietly before the slowly rotating ring, his gaze calmly sweeping over the mysterious runes flowing across its surface.
"Two mid-stage 15th-tier cultivators, three late-stage 15th-tier cultivators, and two at the peak of the 15th-tier realm, and one of them has even forged a Profound Origin Dao Foundation. Within this Thousand-Petal Demon Lotus Realm, the number of rank fragments that can be extracted after killing an opponent is far greater than outside!"
"With this accumulation, it should be more than enough to synthesize a 15th-grade superior spiritual material!"
"Now that the conditions are met, there's nothing to hesitate about."
With his mind made up, Chen Fei no longer hesitated and suddenly formed a profound hand seal in front of him.
"Buzz!"
As Chen Fei completed his hand seals, his wide sleeves moved without wind, and streams of light, each emitting a faint glow of various colors, shot out from them as if summoned.
These streams of light were all the fragments of his rank that he had extracted from the eight demonic cultivators he had killed earlier.
"Whoosh whoosh!"
The streaks of light traced graceful paths through the air before finally flowing into the enormous ring in front of them, like rivers flowing into the sea.
"Boom!"
The moment the last fragment merged into the ring, the entire ring trembled violently and emitted a deep rumble.
Immediately afterwards, the eleven primordial lotus seeds surrounding the outer ring seemed to be drawn inward by some invisible force, tightening even more tightly against the central ring.
The once dazzling and radiant light receded rapidly like a tide, disappearing completely in the blink of an eye.
The entire ring, along with the eleven lotus seeds, became dull and lifeless, as if it had turned into the most ordinary stone sculpture, quietly floating in mid-air.
Even the fragments of the rank that Chen Fei had just invested seemed to vanish into thin air, disappearing without a trace.
Seeing the changes before him, Chen Fei's gaze flickered slightly, but his face showed no panic or confusion; instead, he quickly regained his composure.
"A being of the mighty Tai Cang Realm would surely not have set up such an exquisite synthesis ring just to covet my mere fifteenth-tier rank fragment, would he? That would be far too beneath him."
"Moreover, the blazing sun that Kuang Yezhou's Crimson Sky Divine Spear transformed into still hangs high in the sky above this world. With his will monitoring it here, he would not allow Liao Ruiheng to make such a despicable move."
"Of course, if, by any chance, these fragments of space-time are actually swallowed by this ring, then..."
Chen Fei's mind raced, and he quickly assessed the potential losses.
"As far as my current combat strength is concerned, the temporary disappearance of these fragments of the rank will not cause any substantial weakening. At most, I will lose these rank spiritual materials, but it will not cause me serious injury or shake the foundation of my cultivation."
However, it's inevitable to feel sorry for them, since these are all rare fragments of a rank.
Time passed slowly, and the jungle was silent except for the faint sound of a breeze rustling through the scorched earth. Chen Fei waited patiently, his gaze never leaving the dimly lit ring.
After about several dozen breaths, a very faint buzzing sound suddenly came from the eleven lotus seeds that were tightly packed together.
Immediately afterwards, the originally dull lotus seed began to brighten again at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the ring in the center of the lotus seed slowly reappeared.
Furthermore, a mysterious and indescribable Daoist aura emanated from the inside of the ring, seemingly pointing directly to the origin of heaven and earth, containing some indescribable power of rules.
The moment Chen Fei sensed this Daoist aura, his soul trembled slightly involuntarily, feeling an instinctive longing and desire for closeness.
This is an innate yearning that cultivators have for high-level celestial-rank spiritual materials.
"It seems the worst-case scenario did not occur."
As he sensed the increasingly profound Daoist aura, a faint smile appeared on Chen Fei's face.
As time went by, the Daoist aura emanating from inside the ring became increasingly rich and pure!
Finally, at a certain moment—
"boom!"
The entire Ring of Light suddenly burst forth with a light more dazzling than ever before, illuminating the entire jungle as if it were daytime!
"Shh!"
A streak of light, like a shooting star streaking across the night sky, shot out from the center of the ring and then floated lightly in front of Chen Fei.
"Wow!"
An immense and powerful Daoist aura, like a flood bursting its banks, erupted from that stream of light, instantly engulfing the entire Five Elements Formation!
This Daoist aura even penetrated the layers of the array's barriers, drifting into the distance, as if announcing the birth of a precious treasure to the entire world.
Chen Fei's eyes suddenly flashed with a brilliant light.
Chen Fei slowly extended his right hand and gently grasped the stream of light floating in front of him in his palm.
As the light faded, it revealed a crystal radiating nine-colored brilliance, a top-grade spiritual material of the fifteenth rank.
However, Chen Fei did not refine it immediately. He looked down at the spiritual material in his hand, then looked up at the still high-hanging crimson sun in the sky, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.
Although Chen Fei personally crafted this item, it was ultimately formed within a plane controlled by demonic cultivators, relying on its rules.
"If something has been tampered with, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to detect it with my current level of cultivation."
With that thought, Chen Fei no longer hesitated. He raised the spiritual material in his hand high towards the crimson sun in the sky and respectfully asked, "General, can this be refined?"
Chen Fei's voice wasn't particularly loud, but it clearly carried the formation, echoing in the silent forest.
He didn't know if Kuang Yezhou would respond, after all, to such an existence, he was just an insignificant mid-stage fifteenth-order cultivator.
However, this Gelingcai was related to his future cultivation and safety, so Chen Fei could not afford to be careless.
Even if there is only a one in ten thousand chance, it must be confirmed to be correct.
Otherwise, once Chen Fei refines a problematic spiritual material, he can revert to his pre-refinement state using the panel. However, no one can say for sure what dangers he might encounter in this Thousand Lotus Realm.
Chen Fei maintained his posture of raising his hands in a cupped-back gesture, quietly awaiting a response from the heavens above.
In the jungle, only the faint sound of the breeze rustling through the scorched earth and his own steady breathing could be heard, and time seemed to stretch out at that moment.
Just when Chen Fei thought she wouldn't get a response and was preparing to make her own decision—
"can."
A calm yet supremely majestic voice seemed to traverse endless time and space, resounding directly in his ears.
Chen Fei's eyes suddenly lit up. He immediately composed himself, bowed respectfully towards the direction of the crimson sun in the sky, and said in a deep voice, "Thank you, General!"
With Kuang Yezhou's answer, it meant that the spiritual material in their possession could be used.
Of course, the voice just now could also have come from Liao Ruiheng, but if Kuang Yezhou can't even control this, then no matter how hard he fights in this Demon Lotus Realm today, he will probably not be able to escape death in the end.
Without hesitation, Chen Fei immediately sat down cross-legged and placed the spiritual material radiating nine-colored light in his palm. He took a deep breath, and the Myriad Daos of Heavenly Decree within his body began to slowly circulate.
A surge of pure Yuan energy rose from the Qi Sea, flowing slowly out and covering the spiritual material in the palm of the hand.
The Yuan energy gently enveloped the spiritual material and began to refine it.
Like ice and snow meeting the warm sun, the incredibly hard spiritual material containing profound Daoist principles gradually softened under the refinement of Yuan energy, eventually melting into a pool of crystal-clear spiritual liquid radiating nine-colored light.
This spiritual liquid seemed to possess a life of its own, flowing gently in Chen Fei's palm and radiating a breathtakingly powerful energy.
Chen Fei dared not delay and immediately guided the extremely pure spiritual liquid energy along the meridians in his arm, slowly absorbing it into his body.
"boom!"
The moment the spiritual energy entered his body, it was like a drop of cold water falling into a boiling oil pan, instantly causing a monstrous upheaval within Chen Fei's body.
An unimaginably vast surge of vital energy, like a flood bursting its banks, instantly rushed into his limbs, bones, meridians, and acupoints. Every part of his body greedily absorbed this energy, emitting a joyful buzzing sound.
The speed at which the Yuan Power circulated within Chen Fei's body increased faster and faster. The Myriad Paths Judgment Decree was pushed to its limit, running wildly to refine and absorb the surging torrent of energy.
The total amount and quality of Yuan Power were increasing rapidly at a visible speed. At the same time, a large portion of that energy was diverted and flowed directly into the depths of Chen Fei's sea of consciousness.
"Buzz!"
Chen Fei felt a violent roar coming from the depths of his soul, as if some barrier had been suddenly broken.
Nourished by this energy, his spiritual power began to grow wildly, the range of his divine sense expanded rapidly, and his perception of the energy of heaven and earth became clearer and more acute than ever before.
Both his Yuan Power cultivation and his Divine Soul strength are rapidly approaching the limit of the mid-fifteenth rank.
finally--
"Boom!"
Another, even more violent roar, seemingly emanating from the very source of the soul, exploded, and the solid barrier of that realm shattered under the continuous impact of this immense energy.
Chen Fei's Yuan Power and Divine Soul instantly broke through all obstacles and stepped into a brand new and broader world.
Late stage of the Dominator Realm!
A powerful sense of strength filled my body, and an unprecedented sense of control arose spontaneously.
Chen Fei's perception continued to improve, as if he were standing on a higher mountain peak, able to see a more distant and clearer view.
Beyond the Thousand-Petaled Demon Lotus Realm, in the endless void.
Liao Ruiheng witnessed the entire process of Chen Fei's request for instructions and Kuang Yezhou's response. A strange and mocking smile appeared on his handsome, almost demonic face.
"whee……"
Liao Ruiheng first let out a soft, charming laugh, his voice melodious: "This little fellow, he really is judging a gentleman by his own petty standards!"
But then, Liao Ruiheng's voice suddenly changed, becoming cold, sharp, and full of male aggression and mockery:
"Since he thinks I might do something shady, tell me, if I don't do something..."
Liao Ruiheng's tone was drawn out, with a malicious smirk: "Isn't it all a disservice to his conjecture?"
"If you make a move, then this bet is void!"
Upon hearing Liao Ruiheng's words, Kuang Yezhou didn't even turn his head, but simply responded with his usual indifferent tone.
"Oops..."
Liao Ruiheng's voice instantly transformed back into that soft, gentle female voice. He glanced coquettishly at Kuang Yezhou's profile, which was as steady as a mountain. His gaze was like a fleeting glance in the dim light, carrying a hint of reproach and allure.
"You wish! Right now, within this Thousand-Petaled Demon Lotus Realm, your cultivators are at a disadvantage in every aspect!"
Liao Ruiheng gently twirled a strand of red hair with his fingertips, his voice sweet and cloying: "You think you can just give up so easily? There's no such thing as a free lunch, is there? Hehe..."
Within the Thousand Lotus Realm, in the jungle.
Relying on the foundation of the Myriad Paths Decree of Heaven and his own incredibly solid foundation, Chen Fei quickly and thoroughly stabilized his newly broken-through 15th-order late-stage realm.
The surging Yuan energy within his body gradually subsided, becoming smooth and unrestrained. His surging divine soul power also fully adapted, and his perception became increasingly refined and subtle.
Chen Fei slowly opened his eyes, and countless Dao patterns flashed across his eyes, as brilliant and profound as a galaxy.
Chen Fei's lips involuntarily curled upwards, revealing a genuine smile.
Although the power of the soul is still restricted under the suppression of the rules of this realm after breaking through to the late stage of the fifteenth level, it has made tremendous progress compared to before the breakthrough, whether in terms of strength, precision or ability to sense the energy of heaven and earth.
This progress was immediately reflected in his connection with the Five Elements Formation beneath his feet.
There was no need for Chen Fei to deliberately set up new formations or add new runes; the entire formation began to improve as his divine soul was enhanced.
"Buzz, boom, boom!"
The great formation slowly began to operate on its own, and the power of the five elements permeated all directions. The power of the great formation, which had previously restricted Chen Fei's soul, was now completely unbound.
The power of the entire formation is gradually increasing in a subtle way, becoming more solid and stronger than before.
At this moment, the Guixu Realm is under lockdown, and Chen Fei has no Xuanjing in his possession, so he cannot quickly consolidate and improve his cultivation level by absorbing Xuanjing as he can in the outside world.
Similarly, they are unable to enter the Void Realm to comprehend the powerful characteristics that a late-stage fifteenth-level cultivator should be beginning to cultivate.
However, Chen Fei quickly put these regrets aside, because the huge increase in his soul strength made it possible for him to do many things at this moment.
The most important thing right now is to add new formations.
Chen Fei formed hand seals in front of him, and mysterious runes that shimmered with dazzling starlight materialized out of thin air as he moved his fingertips.
It was the Nine Luminaries Protective Spirit Array, which had been conceived long ago.
"Whoosh whoosh!"
Countless starlight runes shot out and hovered in mid-air, gathering more and more, intertwining and connecting with each other, gradually forming the prototype of a huge and complex three-dimensional array.
The aura emanating from these runes was completely different from that of the earth vein array below, which was rooted in the earth and emitted a heavy, earthy yellow light. They were more dynamic and ethereal, as if they had drawn upon the power of the stars in the heavens.
The instant the number of runes in mid-air reaches a certain limit—
"boom!"
All the suspended runes suddenly surged towards the earth vein array below, perfectly embedding themselves into the outer light shield.
The next moment, a huge light shield, radiating brilliant starlight and composed of countless starlight runes, instantly took shape, firmly protecting the original earth vein root array inside.
The two great formations, one internal and one external, one solid and one agile, perfectly blended their auras and joined together to form a stronger composite defense.
The moment the initial form of the Nine Luminaries Protective Spirit Array appeared, the nine azure spirit trees at the core of the array, which served as the foundation of the entire complex array, seemed to be greatly stimulated and suddenly burst out with an even more dazzling light than before.
A more powerful and purer energy was drawn from the depths of the spirit tree's roots, surged upwards along the trunk, and flowed into the entire circulation system of the grand formation.
"Crash!"
The spirit wood moved without wind, its texture becoming more translucent and the runes flowing on its surface becoming more complex and mysterious, emanating an indestructible aura.
With the strengthening of the array's core, the power of the entire complex array began a new round of self-enhancement.
Its robustness, energy flow efficiency, and resistance to various attacks are all advancing to higher levels.
Chen Fei sensed the changes in the great formation, and the smile in his eyes grew even stronger. However, it was only a Nine Luminaries Protective Spirit Formation, which could not completely occupy the divine soul power that Chen Fei had increased.
