Chapter 1912 Deceiving the Heavens (4K)
This "eye" has no pupil, no emotions, only a blank, indifferent chaos, silently "gazing" below.
Wherever the gaze fell, space froze, and the rules groaned! A terrifying pressure, surpassing all living beings and dominating the birth and death of all things, descended with a deafening roar.
Chen Fei looked up at the cold and merciless giant eye in the sky, his eyes narrowing slightly. The sudden outbreak and cessation of the Heavenly Dao's malice, as well as the appearance of this Eye of Rules, were by no means accidental.
The transformation of this secret realm has entered its second phase.
If Chen Fei hadn't stopped in time and not continued to extract immortal matter to intensify his malice, the malice that erupted just now would probably have been enough to trigger true divine punishment.
This Eye of the Rules is a harbinger of divine punishment, a manifestation of the will of the Heavenly Dao in the Secret Realm!
Chen Fei breathed a slight sigh of relief. Fortunately, he gave up the idea of continuing to extract immortal matter and chose a more "gentle" method of plundering the crystal pillar.
Otherwise, given the level of Heavenly Dao's malice accumulated from 100,000 Immortal Mystic Crystals, coupled with that sudden outburst just now, the consequences would be unpredictable. Chen Fei didn't know if he could withstand that Heavenly Punishment power, since this secret realm had already somewhat deviated from the fourteenth rank.
Chen Fei suppressed the turmoil in his heart. It was a good thing that the divine punishment had not truly descended.
However, the appearance of this Eye of Rules is undoubtedly an extremely dangerous signal; the speed of the transformation of the secret realm is accelerating exponentially.
The rules of heaven and earth are being reorganized and rewritten, and the will of the secret realm is rapidly decreasing its tolerance for "violators".
Chen Fei focused his mind and once again sensed the guidance of the Qi Yun Hua Gai (a magical canopy).
The location of the next Immortal Crystal Pillar was clearly presented in my mind, located on the southwestern edge of the secret realm, hundreds of billions of miles away from here.
Even at Chen Fei's current speed, traveling hundreds of billions of miles would take a considerable amount of time. At this moment, the transformation of the secret realm was already as tumultuous as a boiling oil pot.
The spatial structure has become extremely unstable, greatly increasing the risks of traversing it. More importantly, there may not be enough time.
Chen Fei's gaze flickered, then he suddenly looked up, his internal energy circulated, and the spatial staircase beneath his feet instantly collapsed to its limit.
Chen Fei crouched down slightly, and in the next instant, his figure soared into the sky, and the Qian Yuan Sword in his hand was instantly drawn from its sheath.
The sword light flashed like a bolt of lightning, striking the void barrier fiercely.
"laugh!"
A massive spatial rift, large enough to allow several people to pass through, was forcibly torn open. Beyond the rift lay not the Xuan Yu Realm, but a chaotic and violent interlayered spatial turbulence within a secret realm, powerful enough to shred immortal divine weapons.
This area is where the power of the Heavenly Dao in the Secret Realm is most violent.
Chen Fei flipped his left hand, and a waist token that was completely black with a mysterious star map flowing on the back appeared in his palm. It was the identity token of the elder of the Illusionary Transformation Sect. Chen Fei poured his Yuan Power into it!
"Buzz!"
The waist token instantly burst forth with dazzling mystical light, followed by a surge of will that pierced through the spatial turbulence, traversed endless distances, and precisely locked onto Chen Fei's location.
next moment!
An indescribable, vast power ignored the obstruction of spatial turbulence, descending like the Milky Way pouring down from the heavens, instantly transforming into an incomparably condensed, dark pillar of light that exuded a stable spatial aura, firmly enveloping Chen Fei's figure within it.
Within the pillar of light, the spatial turbulence instantly subsided, and a powerful pulling force emanated from it.
Chen Fei took one last look at the Fire Spirit Secret Realm below that was undergoing transformation, then let the vast power envelop him, transforming him into a stream of light that tore through the void, instantly disappearing into the depths of the spatial rift.
Chen Fei's figure was firmly enveloped by the beam of light, rapidly traversing the spatial interlayer. The surrounding scenery was bizarre and grotesque, with distorted fragments of spacetime, broken threads of rules, and boiling energy turbulence flashing by like a kaleidoscope. The concepts of time and space became blurred at this moment.
I don’t know how long it took, maybe a moment, maybe eternity.
With a slight tremor, the violent spatial turbulence subsided instantly, and the distorted light and shadow receded like a tide. Chen Fei felt his feet firmly planted on solid ground.
The surrounding space was as stable as a rock, without any chaos or violence. A familiar and powerful energy of heaven and earth rushed towards us, carrying the unique, gentle and vibrant Daoist charm of the Xuan Yu Realm.
Chen Fei looked up and saw a simple and elegant palace that exuded the vicissitudes of time. The palace's dome was high and far, as if it contained the entire starry sky, with starlight flowing endlessly.
The ground was paved with warm, jade-like blue stone slabs that shimmered with the aura of Daoist principles. The air was filled with the purest and most refined primordial energy of heaven and earth, and every breath seemed to cleanse the soul!
Directly in front of Chen Fei, a figure stood with his hands behind his back, gazing out of the palace.
This figure seemed to blend into the entire world, exuding a majestic aura as deep as the sea and as vast as the boundless ocean. Just standing there, it inspired awe in everyone.
Chen Fei took a deep breath, stepped forward, bowed to the departing figure, and said in a calm and respectful voice, "Disciple Chen Fei greets Ancestor, and thanks Ancestor for his guidance!"
Le Boyang slowly turned around, his eyes as deep as the vast starry sky, as if they could reflect all the heavens and myriad worlds and see through all illusions. However, at this moment, the brows of this powerful ruler were slightly furrowed.
When Le Boyang's gaze fell upon Chen Fei's aura, which had already reached the limit of the Immortal Realm, a barely perceptible look of surprise flashed in his eyes. However, when he sensed Chen Fei's life essence, which was as fragile and withered as a candle in the wind, less than a hundred years old, that look of surprise was instantly replaced by deep astonishment and solemnity.
Before going to the Fire Spirit Secret Realm, Chen Fei had only recently broken through to the early stage of the Immortal Realm. Now, he has soared from the early stage of the Immortal Realm all the way to the limit of the Immortal Realm.
This cultivation speed was something even he, a mid-stage Dominator Realm expert who had seen countless geniuses and prodigies, had only ever witnessed in the case of the Heavenly Profound Venerable back then.
Moreover, even though he has clearly reached the limit of immortality, his lifespan is less than a hundred years. What is going on?
Le Boyang was silent for a moment, then his voice was deep and authoritative, like thunder echoing through the palace:
What happened to you in the secret realm?
Le Boyang did not inquire about cultivation level or lifespan, but directly asked about the matter, because the abnormality in cultivation level and lifespan must have been caused by some earth-shattering event.
Chen Fei sensed the scrutiny and inquiry in Le Boyang's gaze, lowered his head slightly, and slowly said:
"Reporting to the Ancestor, this disciple has mistakenly entered a strange space deep within the secret realm. The flow of time in that space is bizarre, and the rules are chaotic. This disciple is trapped inside, and I feel that my lifespan is like a river bursting its banks, flowing away uncontrollably and wildly, as if every breath is burning away millions of years!"
Chen Fei paused slightly, as if recalling that experience, her voice trembling almost imperceptibly:
"However, at the same time as my lifespan was rapidly slipping away, my perception of heaven and earth and all things became clearer than ever before! It was as if the dust on a clear mirror had been wiped away, and all the myriad paths, rules, and even cause and effect and destiny of the world were clearly revealed and within reach."
Taking advantage of this strange state, the disciple forcibly calmed his mind and focused his spirit, completely comprehending the sect's core inheritance, and even the other fourteenth-tier cultivation techniques included.
Chen Fei raised his head, a complex light flashing in his eyes, a mixture of lingering fear and an indescribable, strange gleam:
"What's even more amazing is that this almost sudden enlightenment-like extraordinary comprehension did not disappear when I escaped, and it still remains to this day. Moreover, I have become exceptionally sensitive to the aura of the spiritual materials of high rank contained in the secret realm. Following this feeling, I searched everywhere in the secret realm, experiencing several dangers, and finally managed to break through to my current realm by chance. However, my lifespan is almost over."
In his last sentence, Chen Fei spoke with a deep sense of helplessness and a hint of bitterness.
Le Boyang listened quietly to Chen Fei's narration, his brows furrowing more and more deeply.
What kind of "wonderful realm" and encounters did Chen Fei describe, where his lifespan was rapidly depleted in exchange for a surge in his comprehension?
This sounded like some kind of forbidden sacrificial evil magic. With Le Boyang's mid-stage Dominator Realm divine sense perception, he could indeed see traces of Chen Fei's lifespan being completely drained by some irreversible force.
More importantly, Le Boyang did not sense any extraterrestrial demons, strange curses, or evil aura of possession or rebirth on Chen Fei. Everything seemed abnormal, pointing to that mysterious and unpredictable "wonderland".
This Fire Spirit Secret Realm is indeed too strange. Its rule strength far exceeds that of an ordinary fourteenth-level secret realm. Even they, as rulers, cannot forcibly tear it apart from the outside.
The quantity and quality of the spiritual materials nurtured within are far beyond the ordinary, and now this "wonderful realm" has emerged that can frantically burn lifespan and elevate comprehension.
Le Boyang's gaze swept over Chen Fei's withered and lifeless life force once more, and he sighed inwardly. His lifespan had dwindled to this point, like a lamp running out of oil; there was no way to reverse it.
Unless one can defy fate and break through the threshold of the Sovereign Realm within a hundred years, one will perish and vanish into nothingness after a hundred years.
However, this is difficult. Even though Chen Fei's comprehension is exceptional at this moment, the threshold of the Sovereign Realm cannot be crossed by comprehension alone. It requires a low-grade spiritual material of the fifteenth rank. However, the Illusionary Sect has not obtained a spiritual material of this rank for countless years.
Because once it comes to 15th-rank spiritual materials, even if they are only low-grade, peak Sovereign Realm cultivators will directly try to snatch them. Although Le Boyang is in the mid-stage of the Sovereign Realm, he still needs enough luck.
"I see."
Le Boyang spoke slowly, his voice low and solemn: "You should go to the quiet room to rest and stabilize your cultivation. We can discuss this in detail after this matter is settled."
He waved his hand, signaling Chen Fei to step back. At this moment, outside the palace, the void trembled continuously, and streaks of light tore through space, rushing towards the direction of the Illusionary Sect's mountain gate like weary birds returning to their nests.
It was those disciples of the Illusionary Sect who sensed the dramatic changes in the secret realm and decisively tore through the spatial barrier to escape, including many elders at the Immortal Realm! Guiding them would require the presence of Ancestor Le Boyang to handle the situation.
Upon hearing this, Chen Fei bowed in agreement and was about to turn and leave when he suddenly paused, as if remembering something, and bowed again, saying:
"Ancestor, I was fortunate enough to obtain a fourteenth-grade top-quality spiritual material within the secret realm."
As Chen Fei spoke, a thought flickered in his mind, and with a slight gesture of his right hand, a dazzling ball of light radiating a vast and pure aura silently appeared in his palm.
Inside the sphere of light, stars swirled and a chaotic halo permeated the air.
"Ok?"
Le Boyang's gaze was immediately drawn to the dazzling ball of light. A fourteenth-grade top-rank spiritual material, such a treasure was a strategic resource even among the top sects in the Xuan Yu Realm.
Inside the Illusionary Gate, there wasn't even a surplus of fourteenth-grade top-rank spiritual materials, let alone fourteenth-grade low-rank spiritual materials. Otherwise, Chen Fei wouldn't have needed to fight his way through the Profound Ranking to obtain one from the Heavenly Profound Sect.
Le Boyang never expected that Chen Fei would not only break through to the limit of the Immortal Realm, but also bring back such a treasure.
Looking at the alluring spiritual material in Chen Fei's palm, and then at Chen Fei's calm yet undeniably decaying face, Le Boyang was filled with mixed emotions.
This young man is truly a man of both fortune and misfortune. His talent and spiritual potential are enough for the sect to gain another peak Immortal Realm expert, adding to the foundation for cultivating a new ruler in the future.
"The sect will not take your opportunity for nothing."
Le Boyang's voice regained its usual calmness and majesty. With a flick of his right hand, a storage bag made entirely of purple-gold divine jade and etched with mysterious spatial runes appeared out of thin air.
The bag opened slightly, and an immense, pure, and timeless aura of immortal origin instantly spread out, as if the bag contained a rushing river of immortal mystic crystals.
"Here are 20,000 portions of Immortal Mystic Crystals. Please accept them."
Le Boyang handed the storage bag to Chen Fei, speaking calmly: "The sect will accept this high-quality spiritual material. You have rendered great service to the sect, and the sect will never treat you unfairly. After returning to the sect, you can go to the treasure vault and choose three more items you need."
Fourteenth-grade top-quality spiritual materials are rarely traded, but there are still some transaction records. Their value usually fluctuates between 10,000 and 15,000 Immortal Mystic Crystals.
Le Boyang directly offered 20,000 Immortal Mystic Crystals, plus a promise to choose three treasures from the treasure vault, which was already a huge premium and could be considered a reward for Chen Fei's initiative in offering up his rank-level spiritual materials.
Chen Fei took the storage bag with both hands, and with a sweep of his divine sense, the powerful aura of immortal origin inside rushed out.
Chen Fei did not refuse at all, and respectfully bowed: "Disciple thanks Ancestor for the generous gift!"
Le Boyang nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over Chen Fei's decaying life essence once more, a subtle, complex emotion flashing in his eyes. He waved his hand: "Go, take good care of yourself."
Chen Fei bowed again, said no more, and turned to walk towards the side gate of the palace.
Chen Fei's back was as straight as a pine tree, and his steps were steady and powerful, but the desolate aura that permeated him, like a candle flickering in the wind, silently told of the cruel countdown of less than a hundred years.
After watching Chen Fei's figure disappear behind the side door, Le Boyang turned his deep gaze back to the outside of the palace.
Inside the palace, a brief silence fell. Only outside, streaks of light streaked across the sky, carrying the relief and exhaustion of surviving a calamity, as they returned one after another.
Le Boyang's divine sense was like an invisible tide, covering an area of tens of millions of miles to prevent any accidents from happening. However, his thoughts lingered on Chen Fei for a long time.
What exactly is this so-called "wonderland"?
Some secret realms do indeed have the characteristic of burning lifespan to enhance comprehension, but it is extremely difficult to have an effect on those in the Immortal Realm.
Le Boyang's fingers unconsciously tapped lightly on the armrest, making a dull sound. It was a pity that he could not enter this Fire Spirit Secret Realm, otherwise Le Boyang would definitely have gone in to find out what was going on.
Chen Fei is a top-tier talent, temperament, and fortune. If he can overcome that century-long tribulation and enter the Dominator Realm, his future achievements will be limitless.
But if you can't overcome that hurdle, then it's all for naught!
"A century...the ruler..."
Le Boyang murmured softly, his deep eyes reflecting a galaxy of stars, as if he were contemplating that ethereal future.
