Chapter 1872 The Illusion of Heavenly Dao (4K)
Chen Fei's figure, like an ink mark blending into the background, silently arrived at the edge of the towering, dark red pillar.
Upon contact, a primordial aura of fire, far purer and more violent than that of the outside world, rushed towards them, mixed with an indescribable sense of antiquity and heaviness.
"This pillar of heaven... is probably not just a manifestation of the rules of the secret realm, but more like the 'backbone' formed by the sedimentation, distortion, and eventual solidification of countless rules over the long years of the Fire Spirit Secret Realm?"
Chen Fei's gaze swept over the surface of the pillar, which was covered with magma patterns, and he thought to himself, "Such a core place has gathered the aura of more than one peak Immortal Realm expert... There are probably more than fourteenth-grade high-quality spiritual materials inside this pillar, and it may even be nurturing fourteenth-grade top-quality materials, or even more incredible existences."
A thought flashed through Chen Fei's mind: if there weren't treasures that even peak Immortal Realm experts would pursue, why would so many top experts be entrenched here?
Chen Fei withdrew his gaze and began to try to lock onto the fluctuations of the fourteenth-grade high-rank spiritual material that had stirred his soul. After a moment, Chen Fei's brows furrowed slightly.
The fluctuations of that fourteenth-grade high-level spiritual material were like ink drops thrown into boiling water. Under the interference of countless layers, distortions, and violent dimensional spaces inside the Heavenly Pillar, they became blurred and difficult to pinpoint precisely.
This celestial pillar is like a self-contained labyrinth, disrupting, scattering, and concealing the aura of all treasures.
It is likely that only when Chen Fei gets extremely close to that fourteenth-grade high-quality spiritual material will the guidance of Heaven become clear again.
Chen Fei's gaze was solemn. After pondering for a moment, he selected a node where the spatial fluctuations were relatively calm. He gathered a wisp of almost imperceptible void shadow power at his fingertips, and like the most skillful carving knife, he silently cut open a gap that was only wide enough for one person to pass through. In a flash, he disappeared into it.
The scene before my eyes suddenly changed; the churning lava and scorching fire waves disappeared, replaced by a desolate, broken ruin filled with the dust of countless years.
The land was covered with broken walls and ruins, a style completely different from any known civilization in the Xuan Yu Realm.
The massive, dark red crystal-built ruins are covered with mysterious and unfamiliar runes, which, even after countless years, still emit faint yet resilient energy fluctuations.
The air still bears the horrific traces of the clash of laws and the collapse of civilization.
"This secret realm is the remnant of an even earlier cultivation civilization..."
Chen Fei's gaze swept over the ruins, and he understood. This was exactly the same space where he had previously discovered the Nine Hells Heaven-Slaying Vein.
The Fire Spirit Realm has existed for countless years. Before it became what it is today, it must have once nurtured a glorious cultivation civilization. These ruins are the witnesses to that lost history.
As Chen Fei swept his divine sense across the area, he immediately sensed traces of the Immortal Mystic Crystal's previous presence in several spatial crevices deep within the ruins, and even a trace of a lower-grade spiritual material.
No wonder so many immortal realm experts gather inside the Heavenly Pillar. These ruins scattered in the gaps between various dimensions are themselves treasure troves that have not yet been fully explored.
"If we could find a way within these prehistoric ruins to shield, transfer, or even 'deceive' the Heavenly Dao's locked-down energy within the secret realm..."
Chen Fei's expression shifted slightly. "Then, even if we obtain that fourteenth-grade high-quality spiritual material later and trigger a surge of energy, we don't need to worry about attracting an attack from all the powerful beings in the secret realm."
The cultivation techniques of a world must conform to the natural laws of that world. For example, the Nine Hells Heaven-Slaying Vein was of little use in the Xuan Yu Realm, but it was extremely useful in the Fire Spirit Secret Realm.
Once the decision was made, Chen Fei no longer hesitated. He concealed his aura, his figure transforming into a shadow that blended into the environment, and began to traverse this ruin that had been silent for countless millennia.
The ruins cover a vast area and connect with other distorted spatial fragments, forming a relatively independent cluster of relics.
Amidst the ruins, Chen Fei saw the foundations of halls with distinct styles, the shattered colossal statues, and fragments of altars etched with the trajectory of stars... Everything seemed to have been brutally ravaged by an invisible giant hand, just like the space where he had previously discovered the Nine Hells Heaven-Slaying Vein, displaying utter desolation and ruin.
Chen Fei did not overlook any remaining buildings or carvings. He activated the Heavenly Causes and Universe Records, combined with the Primordial Qi Dominator, and carefully sensed every remaining fragment of laws and information imprints in every inch of space.
The panel in the sea of consciousness operates silently, like the most sophisticated scanner, organizing, summarizing, and deducing all the fragments of information seen and heard.
[A new cultivation technique has been discovered: Blazing Heaven-Burning Technique (incomplete)]
[New cultivation technique discovered: Crystal Wall Protection Spell (Fragment)]
[A new cultivation technique has been discovered: the Void Trace Shadow Escape Technique (incomplete)]
[New cultivation technique discovered: Yuanling Resonance Spectrum (incomplete)]
The panel captures and organizes a massive amount of fragmented information, transforming it into incomplete inheritances of martial arts techniques.
These cultivation techniques vary in grade, ranging from the tenth to the fourteenth level, covering Yuan Power, physique, movement techniques, defense, and even some unorthodox methods such as puppetry and talisman techniques.
Chen Fei quickly browsed through the cultivation technique information organized on the panel. The fourteenth-rank low-grade "Void Trace Shadow Escape Technique" had a unique ability to conceal itself in space, while the thirteenth-rank "Blazing Stream Heaven Burning Technique" had a distinctive application of the rules of fire...
However, there was no cultivation technique that Chen Fei urgently needed at this moment—a secret technique that could eliminate the qi tide or perfectly conceal the fact that he was marked by the Heavenly Dao of the Secret Realm.
Time passed slowly, and an hour later, Chen Fei stepped into a relatively well-preserved circular altar space.
In the center of the altar stood a black stone tablet covered with cracks. The inscription on the tablet was long since blurred, but a strange fluctuation, extremely faint yet carrying a certain "rhythm of the heavens," was emanating from the depths of the stone tablet.
After observing for a moment and seeing no danger, Chen Fei stepped forward and gently placed his palm on the cold stone tablet.
In an instant, a vast, cold torrent of information, seemingly devoid of any emotion or will, surged into his sea of consciousness along his arm.
This information was supposed to be a method of inheritance back then, but after countless years, it has been mixed with the remnants of other rules. At this moment, in Chen Fei's perception, only meaningless murmurs echoed in his ears.
A moment later, Chen Fei removed his hand.
Under normal circumstances, Chen Fei would not receive any cultivation technique inheritance at this moment, but Chen Fei has a panel.
[A new cultivation technique has been discovered: The Heavenly Dao's Illusory Form - The Chapter on Deception (Fragment)]
This technique does not teach how to merge with the Dao of Heaven. Instead, it records a group of exceptionally talented cultivators from a long-extinct prehistoric civilization who attempted to simulate and approach the operation of the Dao of Heaven with their own Dao principles, thereby reaching the realm of "borrowing the Dao of Heaven and residing in the void" in order to avoid certain great calamities or the rejection of the rules of heaven and earth.
They do not seek to replace the Way of Heaven, but rather to become a "rational" part of the operation of the Way of Heaven's rules, like a stream flowing into the sea, no longer inconspicuous and no longer targeted by the "mainstream".
“Borrowing the Dao of Heaven, residing in the void…” A glint flashed in Chen Fei’s eyes. This was not the complete shielding or transfer of the markers he had initially envisioned, but a more sophisticated form of “assimilation” or “disguise”!
Although this civilization ultimately seems to have failed, and the inscription on the stone tablet is only a fragment, its core ideas greatly inspired Chen Fei.
He is now marked by the Heavenly Dao of the Secret Realm, like a beacon in the darkness. If this light cannot be extinguished, perhaps he could try to make the "light" he emits blend in perfectly with the surrounding environment, so that the mark's glow becomes less conspicuous?
"This method... might be worth a try!" Chen Fei's mind raced. If it succeeded, it might solve the immediate crisis and reduce many drawbacks when operating within the Fire Spirit Secret Realm.
Just as Chen Fei was considering whether to simplify his cultivation of this Heavenly Dao Illusion, a violent energy fluctuation, accompanied by the familiar roar of Yuan Power colliding with demonic energy, suddenly pierced through layers of spatial barriers from a neighboring dimensional space.
"Elder Wei?" Chen Fei instantly recognized one of the Yuan Power fluctuations as Elder Wei Yangxia of the Illusionary Transformation Sect.
Another, slightly weaker but equally pure aura of Yuan energy seemed to be the fluctuation of Xuan Tian Palace's cultivation technique.
Engaging them fiercely were two powerful mid-stage Immortal Realm Heavenly Demon auras, and a sinister and treacherous demonic thought lurking nearby, likely a Heavenly Demon at the peak of the early stage of the Immortal Realm.
Clearly, Wei Yangxia and his group had penetrated deep into Tianzhu and were currently engaged in a fierce battle.
Chen Fei flashed, following the direction of the strongest fluctuations, cutting open a spatial rift, and instantly appeared in the space where the fierce battle was taking place.
Wei Yangxia was surrounded by the illusory image of the Nine Heavens Palace. His long sword unleashed layers upon layers of illusory sword light as he clashed head-on with a mid-stage Immortal Realm Heavenly Demon wielding a white bone battle blade and raging demonic flames. Each collision caused the space to tremble. Wei Yangxia's face paled slightly, clearly indicating that he was at a disadvantage.
On the other side, Liang Fengqing of Xuantian Palace, dressed in a black Taoist robe, had an ancient bronze mirror floating above his head. The mirror's light cascaded down, transforming into layers of mysterious light barriers as he struggled to withstand the frenzied attacks of another mid-stage Immortal Realm Heavenly Demon, who wielded a black chain and whose figure moved like a ghost.
Each strike of the chain carried a strange, demonic sound that eroded the soul, causing Liang Fengqing to involuntarily retreat.
On the outskirts of the battle, a figure as dark as a shadow moved silently—it was the Heavenly Demon, a peak early-stage Immortal Realm cultivator.
Instead of launching a direct attack, he continuously unleashed insidious and cunning demonic attacks, or condensed dark demonic needles that corroded Yuan energy, precisely targeting the gaps in Wei Yangxia and Liang Fengqing's defenses, greatly restraining their minds.
"Chen Fei? Let's go!"
During the fierce exchange, Wei Yangxia caught a glimpse of Chen Fei appearing. His expression changed drastically, and his divine senses exploded around Chen Fei like thunder, filled with anxiety and worry.
In his view, no matter how talented Chen Fei was, he had only recently broken through to the Immortal Realm. Facing a mid-stage Immortal Realm Heavenly Demon of this level, especially with a treacherous early-stage Immortal Realm peak guarding him, staying behind would only lead to his death.
"Another one, and it's the same Xuan Ranking prodigy from before!"
Yu Chuanze, the peak-stage Immortal Realm Heavenly Demon who was wandering on the outskirts, also noticed Chen Fei, and his scarlet eyes narrowed slightly.
When Chen Fei broke through the Xuan Ranking, there was no one among the extraterrestrial demons who didn't know him. Yu Chuanze immediately abandoned his harassment of Wei Yangxia and the other two, and his figure transformed into a twisted shadow, rushing straight towards Chen Fei with a piercing demonic shriek.
Yu Chuanze's five fingers were like hooks, and his dark demonic claws tore through space, aiming straight for Chen Fei's head. He clearly intended to kill this prodigy instantly with lightning speed!
Faced with this fierce and ruthless attack, Chen Fei's expression remained unchanged. He didn't even use the Qian Yuan Sword; he simply calmly raised his right hand, spread his five fingers, and gently pressed down on the oncoming demon.
"Om-!"
An invisible yet terrifying force field, heavy enough to cause space to collapse, suddenly descended! The phantom of the ancient Heavenly Court collapsing flashed behind Chen Fei, and the power of the Nine Heavens' folding transformed into invisible shackles, instantly imprisoning the rapidly approaching early-stage Immortal Realm peak Heavenly Demon in mid-air.
Yu Chuanze's sinister smile froze instantly, followed by a look of horror spreading across his face.
Yu Chuanze felt as if he had sunk to the bottom of the ocean billions of feet deep, and the space around him had turned into solidified amber, making it extremely difficult to even think! He frantically activated his demonic energy, and the demonic flames on his body surged, trying to break free from this invisible constraint.
However, Chen Fei moved even faster. He did not retract his palm, but instead brought his index and middle fingers together and gently pointed forward like a sword.
"laugh!"
A purplish-gold sword beam, refined to its utmost and seemingly capable of piercing through time and space, burst forth from his fingertips. Silent and still, it carried a terrifying aura that could end all things and reduce all paths to nothingness. In an instant, it pierced through the boiling demonic flame shield on the demon's body and struck the center of his brow.
Time seemed to stand still at this moment.
In Yu Chuanze's wide, demonic eyes, Chen Fei's calm and composed face was reflected, along with the dazzling purple-gold light emanating from the tip of his finger.
All of Yu Chuanze's struggles, all his demonic arts, and all his immortal demonic body's defenses melted away silently in the face of this one finger, like ice and snow under the scorching sun.
"impossible……"
A thought, mixed with extreme horror, resentment, and bewilderment, reverberated in the mind of this Heavenly Demon at the peak of the early stage of the Immortal Realm.
"puff!"
A soft sound, like a bubble being popped.
A small, translucent hole appeared between Yu Chuanze's eyebrows. No blood splattered, but the immense demonic soul essence and immortal demonic body vitality contained within it were instantly annihilated by the Guixu sword intent contained in that point of purple-gold sword light.
The Immortal Mystic Crystal on Yu Chuanze's body instantly ignited, forcibly pulling him back from the brink of death.
Yu Chuanze's eyes were filled with utter horror. He unleashed all his power, creating a crack in the surrounding force field, and took the opportunity to retreat frantically.
Chen Fei pulled back with his left hand, and the folding power of the Nine Heavens Palace swept over Yu Chuanze's figure, causing him to involuntarily come in front of him.
Chen Fei pointed again, exactly the same as before.
"puff!"
As if time were repeating itself, a hole appeared between Yu Chuanze's eyebrows, and the boiling demonic flames around him suddenly went out as if their source had been extinguished.
The body, frozen in mid-air, plummeted straight down into the endless abyss of void below, like a piece of rotten wood that had lost all support. Before it even hit the ground, it turned to ashes and vanished completely.
The thousands of Immortal Mystic Crystals in Yu Chuanze's hands had been burned to ashes, and this time, they could not save his life.
The entire process was breathtakingly fast. From the demon's attack to Chen Fei's restraint and annihilation with two fingers, it all happened in the blink of an eye.
In the distance, Wei Yangxia and Liang Fengqing, who were engaged in a fierce battle with two mid-stage Immortal Realm Heavenly Demons, involuntarily slowed their attacks for a moment. The expressions on their faces froze, and their eyes were filled with disbelief and shock.
Faced with the all-out attack of a seasoned and ruthless early-stage Immortal Realm peak Heavenly Demon, Chen Fei not only did not dodge or defend, but simply raised his hand and pointed his finger with nonchalant ease...
Then, the Heavenly Demon at the peak of the early stage of the Immortal Realm who had been drawing their attention... disappeared?
Completely annihilated, body and soul! They had no chance to resist whatsoever!
In a daze, the figure of Venerable Tianxuan flashed through their minds. Such talent was incomparable to any other genius or prodigy.
The two mid-stage Immortal Realm Heavenly Demons who were launching a fierce attack also experienced a noticeable slowdown in their offensive.
Their crimson demonic eyes stared intently at Chen Fei, filled with surprise, solemnity, and a hint of barely concealed apprehension. The terrifying sword intent contained in that single finger strike could have severely injured them had they been careless.
How did this newly ascended Immortal Realm cultivator from the Illusionary Sect cultivate?
