Chapter 1853 Sneak Attack (4K)
During the Star Realm era, Qu Hongshan dispatched a peak Void True God to hunt down Chen Fei.
At the time, Qu Hongshan did not know Chen Fei's specific identity, but he knew that the secret techniques this junior possessed would be of great benefit to his actions within the Star Realm.
As a result, the peak Void True God Realm expert who was sent out died instantly.
When Qu Hongshan finished dealing with his business and arrived at the scene, he discovered that the junior had already broken through to the late stage of the Void True God Realm.
With a cultivation level of late-stage Void True God Realm, to defy the peak of Void True God Realm, such talent is naturally remarkable, but in Qu Hongshan's view, that's all there is to it.
After all, Qu Hongshan had already captured and killed too many prodigies who hadn't truly grown up yet, so one more wouldn't make a difference, especially in a secret realm like the Star Boundary, where the death of some prodigies was perfectly normal.
But what happened next was beyond Qu Hongshan's expectations.
Even with his peak early-stage Immortal Realm cultivation, he was unable to completely lock onto the junior's aura, allowing him to escape from his perception time and time again.
At first, Qu Hongshan only thought that the junior possessed an Immortal Realm treasure that could quickly restore his burning Void Treasure.
But as time went on, Qu Hongshan discovered that things were not so simple. That junior must possess a treasure that was useful even to those in the Immortal Realm, or even a greater secret.
Regardless of which one it is, it's worth Qu Hongshan continuing to hunt them down.
But fate had other plans. The Star Realm Overlord drove all the creatures of the Xuan Yu Realm out, forcing Qu Hongshan to abandon his pursuit.
Back in the Xuan Yu Realm, since all the sects and forces were outside the Star Realm, Qu Hongshan was unable to continue the pursuit, but he did confirm Chen Fei's identity.
Qu Hongshan placed Chen Fei at the highest level of importance, inquiring about Chen Fei's movements through various channels, and constantly thinking about how to lure Chen Fei out of the Illusion Gate so as to capture and kill him in one fell swoop.
As a result, Chen Fei never left the Illusionary Sect. First, he became a true disciple of the Illusionary Sect, and then, with his cultivation at the late stage of the Void True God Realm, he challenged the Profound Ranking and succeeded.
Everyone was shocked by Chen Fei's extraordinary talent, but Qu Hongshan only saw the treasure on Chen Fei's body. If it weren't for this treasure, how could Chen Fei have achieved such a feat?
The pursuit by the Star Realm ended in failure, causing Qu Hongshan to miss out on this treasure and filling him with regret.
We should have used a more extreme method back then, even if it would have caused some danger, to intercept and kill Chen Fei, rather than just watching him now.
After that, Chen Fei overcame all obstacles and broke through the entire Xuan Ranking in an incredible way. He even showed his immortal power in the duel for the second place on the Xuan Ranking.
With the cultivation of a Void True God Realm cultivator, he condensed immortal power. Such a feat was something that no Void True God Realm cultivator in the previous Xuan Yu Realm had ever accomplished. Qu Hongshan did not know, but he was certain that no Void True God Realm cultivator had ever shown such power.
In any case, given Qu Hongshan's talent and abilities, he absolutely could not condense the power of immortality when he was in the Void True God Realm.
"His Yuan Power and physique have both broken through to the early stage of the Immortal Realm. If we don't kill him now, we may not have another chance in the future!"
Qu Hongshan used the Heavenly Eye, an extension of the Void Treasure, to gaze at Chen Fei in the distance, his eyes flashing.
Qu Hongshan was unaware that Chen Fei had come to the Fire Spirit Secret Realm beforehand, even though he had used various methods and channels to gather information about Chen Fei.
However, as Chen Fei became a true disciple and broke through the Xuan Ranking, his importance in the Illusionary Sect rose sharply, and many information channels could no longer keep track of his information.
After Chen Fei broke through to the Immortal Realm and became an elder of the Illusionary Sect, not a single word of news about him could be heard.
Therefore, Qu Hongshan had been unaware for a long time what Chen Fei was doing inside the Illusion Gate.
However, according to Qu Hongshan's guess, Chen Fei had just broken through to the Immortal Realm and had a sufficient amount of Immortal Crystals given by the Tianxuan Sect, so he could stay in the Illusion Gate to cultivate.
For a considerable period of time, there will be no need to worry about the Immortal Crystal.
Unexpectedly, Chen Fei actually arrived in the secret realm.
From the moment he saw Chen Fei with his divine eye, Qu Hongshan's mind was in turmoil, because this might be the best opportunity.
More importantly, Qu Hongshan saw Chen Fei fighting against the Immortal Realm Fire Spirits, and the number of Fire Spirits gathering there was increasing.
When there are enough fire spirits below the Immortal Realm, they can be empowered by the Immortal Realm fire spirits, thus greatly increasing their threat.
Facing the onslaught of the Fire Spirit, Qu Hongshan was under immense pressure. If he didn't find a way to escape, the threat to his life from the Fire Spirit would increase at an alarming rate.
At this moment, Qu Hongshan did not dare to use his Heavenly Eye to observe the situation more closely, because that might alert Chen Fei.
Qu Hongshan did not want Chen Fei to become alert and escape because of his recklessness.
"In this situation, instead of trying to escape, they're fighting an Immortal Realm Fire Spirit. Where could a fourteenth-tier spiritual material possibly appear? Or other treasures that would benefit their cultivation?"
Qu Hongshan pondered, thinking about how to seize the opportunity to assassinate Chen Fei.
Chen Fei is an early-stage Immortal Realm cultivator who has mastered both Yuan Power and physical strength. Although he has just broken through, his combat power should not be underestimated. Especially since he has a sufficient amount of Immortal Mystic Crystals, it is unrealistic to kill him with one blow.
The goal is to deplete Chen Fei's Immortal Crystals so that the current Fire Spirit can continue its attacks, thus achieving the desired effect.
However, Qu Hongshan was worried that if the time was delayed too long, other unexpected events might occur along the way.
Qu Hongshan desperately wanted the treasure in Chen Fei's hands. Perhaps with this treasure, he, Qu Hongshan, would be the one to break through the Earth Ranking in the future!
Various thoughts flashed through Qu Hongshan's mind, and killing intent gradually appeared in his eyes before his figure disappeared into the waves of fire.
Hundreds of thousands of miles away, Chen Fei turned his head to look at the distance. Due to the influence of the secret realm environment, Chen Fei could only clearly perceive the situation within tens of thousands of miles.
However, Chen Fei could vaguely sense that someone had been looking at him.
They might just be passing through the Immortal Realm, curious about the situation here. But whoever they are, Chen Fei will remain vigilant. In the secret realm, losing vigilance means certain death is not far off.
Chen Fei withdrew his gaze and looked at the Immortal Realm Fire Spirit in front of him.
This is a newly appeared Immortal Realm Fire Spirit. However, Chen Fei did not directly kill this Immortal Realm Fire Spirit this time. Instead, he planned to test whether he could obtain Immortal Mystic Crystals continuously through other methods.
There are many Immortal Realm Fire Spirits throughout the entire secret realm, but within a certain area, the number of Immortal Realm Fire Spirits is relatively fixed.
These fire spirits possess little intelligence, but they have a sense of their own territory, and immortal fire spirits will not cluster together. Furthermore, the fluctuations of battle cannot expand outwards indefinitely.
It's certain that the greater the distance, the lower the intensity of the combat fluctuations, until there are no combat fluctuations at all after a sufficiently long distance.
In other words, if Chen Fei wants to continuously kill Immortal Realm fire spirits, he needs to search each location one by one. This might lead him to fire spirits at the mid-Immortal Realm, or even the late-Immortal Realm or higher.
Instead of doing that, trying to make an early-stage Immortal Realm Fire Spirit continuously produce Immortal Mystic Crystals is a direction worth exploring.
In the past, he formed a hand seal with one hand, activating the Nine Hells Heaven-Slaying Meridian. A ray of cold light flashed above the Immortal Realm Fire Spirit, severing most of the connection between the Immortal Realm Fire Spirit and the origin of the secret realm.
Chen Fei's true form flashed and appeared in front of this immortal fire spirit. He activated the Heavenly Cause and Universe-Breaking Record and then pointed out with a finger.
This Immortal Realm Fire Spirit reacted exactly like the previous one, also clasping its hands together in an attempt to block Chen Fei's finger strike.
Lacking intelligence and a systematic cultivation method, they always resort to reckless attacks when encountering external creatures.
This resulted in almost all fire spirits having the same temperament, whether they were tenth-tier fire spirits or fourteenth-tier immortal fire spirits.
Therefore, if you can kill one Immortal Realm Fire Spirit, you can basically use the same method to easily kill another Immortal Realm Fire Spirit of the same level.
Such a situation is absolutely impossible in the Xuan Yu Realm.
"Buzz!"
As Chen Fei pointed a finger at the center of the Immortal Realm fire spirit's brow, a ripple completely enveloped the fire spirit's entire body, causing its spirit form to freeze in mid-air.
The scene at this moment seemed not much different from when Chen Fei killed another Immortal Realm Fire Spirit.
But the next moment, Chen Fei did not shatter the spirit body of the Immortal Realm Fire Spirit with a single punch. Instead, he tried to use the illusionary realm contained in the Heavenly Cause and Universe Record to peel away the immortal matter from the body of the Immortal Realm Fire Spirit.
Normally, if the Nine Hells Heaven-Slaying Vein did not sever most of the connection between the Fire Spirit and the origin of the Secret Realm, and if it did not have a continuous supply of immortal matter, even if the Immortal Realm Fire Spirit was deceived by the illusion, its body would subconsciously and frantically unleash its power.
Regardless of whether this outburst can break through the illusion, one thing is certain: because the power within the Immortal Realm Fire Spirit is in a berserk state, it is impossible for it to separate the immortal matter.
However, now that the Nine Hells Heaven-Slaying Vein has severed most of the connections to the secret realm's origin, the Immortal Realm Fire Spirit no longer has a continuous source of immortal power to unleash its full potential.
This outburst became an intermittent, significantly weaker force impact, which gave Chen Fei room to maneuver.
Chen Fei didn't know if his attempt would succeed, but even if it failed, he wouldn't lose anything, so why not give it a try?
Chen Fei made a sword-finger gesture with his right hand and pointed in the air, marking various positions on the fire spirit's body. If this immortal fire spirit showed any signs of awakening, he would use the Heavenly Cause and Universe-Breaking Record to force it to remain trapped in the illusion.
At the same time, the fire spirits that had previously been sweeping away other realms were prevented from gathering to a level that would threaten the Immortal Realm.
"You actually possess such a secret technique, and it's completely tailored to the Heavenly Dao of this secret realm. I've never heard of such a wondrous method within the Illusionary Gate!"
A voice suddenly appeared in front of him. Chen Fei paused slightly with his right hand, turned his head and saw Qu Hongshan appear.
Chen Fei remained expressionless, grabbed the Qian Yuan Sword with his left hand, and used it to block behind him.
"boom!"
A deafening explosion shot straight into the sky, and the massive shockwave shattered most of the fire spirits that were surging around, while the remaining fire spirit bodies were thrown far away.
Unbeknownst to Chen Fei, Qu Hongshan, wielding a dagger, had silently appeared behind him. The violent power contained in the dagger was completely blocked by the Qian Yuan Sword, failing to cause any harm to Chen Fei.
Qu Hongshan, who had just made the sound, was still thousands of miles away. He seemed to possess a peculiar power that made people subconsciously want to focus their attention on him.
On the contrary, Qu Hongshan behind Chen Fei is easily overlooked, which is a mystery at the level of rules.
This explains why Qu Hongshan, thousands of miles away, suddenly spoke up and appeared – it was a feint attack.
It's not exactly a sophisticated strategy, but sometimes it's precisely these simple tactics, combined with the corresponding techniques and the extended characteristics of the Void Treasure, that can produce unexpected and wonderful results.
If it were any other early-stage Immortal Realm cultivator facing an Immortal Realm Fire Spirit, and with Qu Hongshan suddenly appearing, they really wouldn't be able to guard against an attack from behind.
Unfortunately, Qu Hongshan met Chen Fei instead.
The understanding of heaven and earth is already at the peak level of the Immortal Realm, not to mention the various Void Treasures and their extended characteristics, and the various powers attached to them.
Chen Fei sensed the attack as soon as Qu Hongshan himself appeared behind him.
Among those of the same level in the Immortal Realm, no one can defeat Chen Fei by sneak attack, unless the opponent has also cultivated the fourteenth-level core inheritance to its peak, and it must be a sneak attack technique, and their Void Treasures also have similar characteristics.
That would make it possible to assassinate Chen Fei, and even then, it's only a possibility.
When his most confident thrust failed to succeed, Qu Hongshan's expression changed drastically.
More importantly, judging from the recoil force coming from the dagger at this moment, Chen Fei's cultivation level is definitely not that of someone who has just entered the Immortal Realm, but rather that he is at the peak of the early stage of the Immortal Realm, just like Chen Fei!
How long has it been since Chen Fei obtained the fourteenth-grade low-rank spiritual material? Half a year?
If we calculate based on a year, from just breaking through to the Immortal Realm to reaching the peak of the early stage of the Immortal Realm, what an insane cultivation speed that is!
When Qu Hongshan saw Chen Fei here, he considered the worst-case scenario, which meant that Chen Fei might have already passed the stabilization period of the Immortal Realm and had made progress in his cultivation technique.
Based on his talent in breaking through the Xuan Ranking and with the help of that potentially supreme treasure, it can be assumed that Chen Fei has already successfully cultivated the extended characteristics of the two Void Treasures.
This was already the limit of what Qu Hongshan could imagine.
As for speculating that Chen Fei has already cultivated to the peak of the early stage of the Immortal Realm and has fully mastered the extended characteristics of the four Void Treasures.
If we follow this line of reasoning, Qu Hongshan wouldn't be here right now; he would have turned and left just now.
But now, the most unlikely scenario has unfolded before Qu Hongshan.
"Buzz!"
Qu Hongshan's figure transformed into tens of thousands of afterimages as he fled in all directions.
After being struck, Qu Hongshan realized the reality.
Qu Hongshan no longer intended to keep Chen Fei's secret of possessing a supreme treasure to himself; he wanted to inform his fellow disciples in the mid-stage of the Immortal Realm, and even those in the late-stage and peak of the Immortal Realm.
Reaching the peak of the early stage of the Immortal Realm in less than a year would definitely pique the interest of those powerful individuals.
"He taught me to let go of lingering resentment and to refrain from being coquettish..."
A chanting sound suddenly rang in Qu Hongshan's ears.
