Chapter 621-624 (Patreon)

621. The Secret of the Supreme

Lin Fei returned to his dwelling and did not leave again. There was no point in visiting the Yin-Yang Immortal Domain anymore. If even the Supremes were preparing to leave the Divine Realm, then the Yin-Yang Immortal Domain was surely abandoned.

Moreover, the Initial Demon Supreme was undoubtedly keeping a vigilant eye on it. Should Lin Fei appear there, he would definitely try to kill him on sight.

Last time, Lin Fei had escaped by sheer luck because the Initial Demon Supreme was unprepared. But now?

Lin Fei was confident. If his Illusory Realm were stronger, he believed he could escape even if he encountered Initial Demon Supreme again.

However, Lin Fei's considerations had shifted beyond mere escape. The question now was, how could he confront a Supreme? How could he even save the entire Divine Realm? And what exactly was a Supreme? How does one become a Supreme?

Lin Fei had almost no understanding of this. In fact, many Martial Ancestors and True Immortals also lacked knowledge about the nature of the Supreme. It seemed a deeply secretive matter, and the Supremes themselves had not disseminated any information about their rank.

Lin Fei was confident that even without becoming a Supreme, as his Eternal Realm continued to evolve, he would possess power that could rival or even surpass a Supreme. But understanding the nature of Supreme would certainly help in knowing the enemy, especially since the Dark Demon Domain also had its Supremes.

While Lin Fei was deep in thought, his chamber suddenly vibrated with a subtle ripple of space. To his surprise, a figure appeared before him. It was Azure Emperor Supreme.

Lin Fei was astonished. Hadn't the Azure Emperor Supreme spoken of leaving the Divine Realm? Why was he here now?

Azure Emperor Supreme looked at Lin Fei and slowly began to speak, "Lin Fei, do you wish to know what it means to be a Supreme?"

Lin Fei looked intently at the Azure Emperor Supreme and bowed respectfully, "Please enlighten me, Azure Emperor Supreme!"

"You may have heard that the True Immortal, also known as the Dao Integration realm, represents a state of being," the Supreme began. "Dao Integration is indeed what defines a True Immortal.

However, the True Immortal state is not the end. Above the Dao Integration realm, there is another level in the path of Immortality called Mahayana. Mahayana is the state of transcending the cage, truly being free to roam. Not even a realm can bind a Mahayana. To break free from the constraints of a realm, a True Immortal has only one path: Power.

Do True Immortals continually cultivate their combat avatars merely to augment their arsenal of techniques? That is not the case. Once the avatars proliferate to a certain number and coalesce into a single entity, at that moment, their power surges, transcending the limits of their realm. Naturally, they are no longer confined; then, it is Mahayana!

We martial cultivators differ. A martial artist's strength is inherently their own, derived solely from within. We have grasped a Dao, but only superficially. To truly master it, and even to actively expand it, is to bring this Dao to an unsurpassable state. Or rather, when the Dao we wield can instantly dominate all others within a realm, we achieve Supreme.

Supreme does not require comprehension; it simply happens when conditions align. If it is achieved, so it is. If not, then Supreme remains elusive forever. Thus, the Supremes deliberately obscure the knowledge of how one becomes a Supreme. Should you know, you might intentionally cultivate an avatar or deliberately train in the Dao, which could ironically hinder your progress. It might even ruin your cultivation."

Upon hearing these words from Azure Emperor Supreme, Lin Fei had an epiphany. So, Supreme was a matter of natural progression, of achieving a pinnacle of understanding in one's Dao.

As for martial cultivation, one should refine their comprehended Dao to its utmost limit, even to the point where it could overwhelm the Divine Realm's Dao.

Lin Fei then thought of his own World Dao. Indeed, Lin Fei's World Dao was potent. Of course, it was still far from overwhelming the Divine Realm's Dao.

At least, not yet. But that did not mean he could never achieve it. Once Lin Fei's Eternal Realm transformed into a True Monarch-level world, his World Dao would undoubtedly make extraordinary advances.

How much might his power increase by then? Could that make him a Supreme?

"So that's it...I never imagined, but I have been on the path to Supreme from the start, and remarkably so, without any detours..."

Lin Fei realized. As long as he continued on his path, allowing the Eternal Realm to evolve, he was likely to achieve Supreme!

Of course, this was also challenging. The transformation of the Eternal Realm was uncertain in its timing.

"Azure Emperor Supreme, I am puzzled about one thing. You were prepared to leave the Divine Realm, why then disclose to me the secrets of Supreme? Aren't you afraid that I might intentionally cultivate the Dao and thus fail to become a Supreme?"

Hearing Lin Fei's question, Azure Emperor Supreme smiled faintly and said, "With your talent, Martial Ancestor Lin, if you cannot become a Supreme, perhaps no one in the Divine Realm can.

In fact, if I'm not mistaken, you have already found the path to Supreme. As for why I haven't left the Divine Realm, perhaps it's because of you, or perhaps because I still have some attachments.

Therefore, I've decided to stay in the Divine Realm. At least, in the absence of absolute danger, I will act to protect the Divine Realm, to protect the Ancient Covenant! As for what becomes of the Divine Realm in the future, I do not know. Perhaps, when the moment of life and death arrives, I too will resolutely leave."

Azure Emperor Supreme was candid. Naturally, he could leave the Divine Realm for the Chaos at any moment without any repercussions or difficulties. Yet, he chose to stay for a while longer, to exert his utmost efforts in guarding the Divine Realm. That was sufficient. For even if the final outcome was not favorable, how could that matter? At least, Supreme Qing Atlantic would have no regrets.

"Thank you, Azure Emperor Supreme!" Lin Fei bowed deeply, genuinely grateful to the Supreme. Many True Immortals and Martial Ancestors truly had no choice but to steadfastly remain in the Divine Realm.

But Azure Emperor Supreme was different. He had a choice, yet he still chose to stay. With a Supreme presiding, it wasn't about saving the entire Divine Realm, but at least the Ancient Covenant would be safer. Should a Supreme from the Dark Demon Domain approach, Azure Emperor Supreme could hold them at bay.

Lin Fei no longer contemplated aiding other areas of the Divine Realm. His focus was on safeguarding the Ancient Covenant. Or rather, Lin Fei was looking to buy time— as much time as possible.

Time was precisely what he lacked the most. And with Azure Emperor Supreme present, even if the Dark Demon Domain advanced toward the Ancient Covenant, the Supreme could buy Lin Fei more time.

Of course, that was all Azure Emperor Supreme could do. Reversing the dire situation was beyond him. Only Lin Fei might have a glimmer of hope, provided he had enough time.

Following this, Lin Fei began his seclusion because the first, second, third... an endless stream of world laws were delivered to him. Even a substantial amount of dark demon life essence was brought to him.

Clearly, those from the Ancient Covenant— the True Immortals and Martial Ancestors— were not just talking. They were truly taking action.

622. Members of the Ancient Covenant in Crisis

In the secluded chamber within Ancient City, Lin Fei gazed upon the dark demon life essences before him—not solely essences of dark demons but also those of formidable exotic beasts, slain by some unknown True Immortal or Martial Ancestor.

In the past, such actions would have incurred the wrath of the All Beasts Alliance. However, given the current situation where major powers had largely collapsed, the All Beasts Alliance was too preoccupied with its own crises to concern itself with these "trivial" matters. Thus, Lin Fei had acquired an abundance of these essences.

Lin Fei was well aware that every piece of True Monarch-level world law and each essence had been procured by True Immortals and Martial Ancestors who had braved great dangers to deliver them specifically to him. Therefore, he was determined to utilize every piece of world law and essence, striving to ensure their efforts were not in vain.

"Let's begin."

Lin Fei took a deep breath.

"Consume!"

Immediately, he began devouring the essences one after another. At the same time, his Illusory Realm was assimilating various world laws. Lin Fei was advancing on two fronts simultaneously.

As vast amounts of life essences were absorbed into his Eternal Realm, a multitude of life forms began to emerge within it.

With the proliferation of life, the progress of the Eternal Realm steadily increased—21%, 25%, 27%, 30%...

For Lin Fei's Eternal Realm to advance even slightly was typically challenging, yet now, with so much essence, the progress was accelerating significantly.

As the Eternal Realm continued to expand and evolve, Lin Fei's power grew correspondingly.

"Buzz."

Time passed unmarked until, within the Eternal Realm, the first "animal" life form was born. This life form was only slightly larger than a microscopic organism and began to reproduce slowly. As it reproduced, it seemed to adapt and transform to better suit its environment.

Days turned to weeks, and these life forms seemed to evolve into insects, crawling on the ground, their numbers increasing rapidly. A diverse array of life forms appeared.

"Boom."

At the same time, Lin Fei's Eternal Realm thundered. After a violent tremor, Lin Fei immediately summoned the system.

"System."

Quickly, Lin Fei called up the system panel to check.

Host: Lin Fei

Martial Realm: Martial Ancestor

World Level: Minor World (Progress 68%)

Illusory Realm: True Immortal Level

Lin Fei glanced at the display. His Eternal Realm had reached 68% completion. With such progress, transformation seemed imminent.

However, the supply of life essences was dwindling. Lin Fei's Eternal Realm still required a substantial amount of these essences for its transformation.

In the distant Yin-Yang Immortal Domain, now largely occupied by dark demons, some scattered battles persisted. It seemed that constantly, individuals infiltrated the Yin-Yang Immortal Domain to launch surprise attacks on the dark demons, creating trouble and slowing the expansion of the Dark Demon Domain.

This tactic proved effective. At least for now, the dark demons were busy sweeping and clearing out the remaining resistance within the realm.

At this moment, a team composed of four True Immortals and three Martial Ancestors from the Ancient Covenant was within the Yin-Yang Immortal Domain, seizing opportunities to ambush the dark demons.

Their presence there was specifically to supply Lin Fei with a vast amount of dark demon life essences. As long as they were cautious, the power of these seven, comprising True Immortals and Martial Ancestors, was such that few in the Dark Demon Domain could match them. Thus, everything had initially gone smoothly. However, the situation had recently become less favorable.

"Look ahead, another large group of dark demons," one of them pointed out. "If we can eliminate this group, we might be able to temporarily withdraw from the Yin-Yang Immortal Domain."

"Indeed, something feels off about the Yin-Yang Immortal Domain lately. It might be wise to withdraw sooner rather than later," another added.

These seven True Immortals and Martial Ancestors all sensed something unusual within the realm and planned one final sweep before leaving. But during this operation, they faltered.

As the seven descended among this group of dark demons, a tremendous force erupted. A vast body suddenly spanned the void, its emanating aura staggering the seven.

"We've finally caught you," a thunderous voice boomed. "You mere True Immortals and Martial Ancestors dare to raid the Yin-Yang Immortal Domain? Seeking death!"

Confronted with this formidable presence, the group was taken aback, an immediate sense of alarm rising within them.

A Supreme!

This was a Supreme of the Dark Demon Domain, cleverly concealed among the ordinary dark demons as bait, specifically to trap this raiding squad.

"Damn, it's a Supreme?" one exclaimed. "It seems we've been targeted all along."

"Run, we must escape!" another urged.

"There's no escape; this is a Supreme of the Dark Demon Domain, no less formidable than any from our Divine Realm. If they've been waiting here all along, this is surely a trap. How can we possibly escape now?"

"It seems we can only send a message to Martial Ancestor Lin. After this, we won't be able to supply him with the dark demon life essences anymore..."

The seven True Immortals and Martial Ancestors quickly understood their current predicament. The four True Immortals were likely safe; they could not be killed.

Being fused with the Dao of the Divine Realm meant that not even a Supreme could annihilate a True Immortal outright—unless they could somehow sever the True Immortals' connection with the Divine Realm's Dao, which was an impossibility unless the Dark Demon Domain completely overtook the Divine Realm.

However, the three Martial Ancestors were in grave danger. Unlike the True Immortals, the Martial Ancestors did not possess avatars. Once their physical forms were destroyed, they would be utterly annihilated.

Despite their formidable capabilities in preserving their lives, what could they really amount to in the face of a Supreme? A Supreme could easily extinguish a Martial Ancestor without issue.

"Fellows, hurry and leave," urged the four True Immortals. "We will deploy all our avatars to buy you some time. Let us hope for a miracle."

Without hesitation, the four True Immortals immediately manifested all their combat avatars. A buzzing sound filled the air as over fifty thousand True Immortal avatars densely packed the void, their combined aura formidable. Yet, against a Supreme, these avatars were destined to hold only briefly.

"Let it be, a fight to the death then," the three Martial Ancestors took a deep breath, their eyes resolute.

...

Inside Lin Fei's secret chamber, his supply of life essences and world laws had almost been depleted. Although Lin Fei felt significant progress, his Eternal Realm seemed yet to transform. It had not evolved into a True Monarch-level world, even though its progress had reached 72%.

However, Lin Fei's Illusory Realm had also seen substantial improvement, and along with his Eternal Realm, he felt that if he were to encounter the Supreme of the Dark Demon Domain again, he would not be able to contend with him, but at least surviving in his presence should no longer pose a problem.

"Hmm?" Suddenly, Lin Fei's messaging stone vibrated. He picked it up and looked at the message.

623. Ambush of the Supreme

"Seven True Immortals and Martial Ancestors are trapped in the Yin-Yang Immortal Domain, facing imminent danger," Lin Fei's eyes turned icy. The Supreme from the Dark Demon Domain had personally intervened—how could they possibly relent easily?

In terms of strength, the entire Ancient Covenant, including Lin Fei, only comprised twelve True Immortals, nine Martial Ancestors, and three Hermits—a total of twenty-four powerhouses at the True Immortal level.

Now, with seven of them caught in a perilous situation, the situation was dire. True Immortals, though not facing death if their main combat avatars were destroyed, would find it difficult to regain their full strength quickly.

The three Martial Ancestors, lacking such avatars, faced even grimmer prospects—a Supreme could directly kill them. These three accounted for nearly an eighth of the Covenant's power—a crippling blow to the Ancient Covenant.

Moreover, these seven True Immortals and Martial Ancestors were on their mission to procure large quantities of dark demon life essences for Lin Fei. Their venture into the Yin-Yang Immortal Domain was a risky one, directly associated with aiding Lin Fei. Naturally, Lin Fei could not stand idly by.

With a swift movement, Lin Fei left the secret chamber and immediately sought out Azure Emperor Supreme.

"Azure Emperor Supreme, our seven True Immortals, and Martial Ancestors are in grave danger," Lin Fei reported urgently. "With a Supreme from the Dark Demon Domain acting against them, only you can save them. What are your thoughts?"

"Of course, we must rescue them," responded the Azure Emperor Supreme. "However, this time I should go alone. You are a particular thorn in the side of the Dark Demon Domain; it's too risky for you to venture there."

Azure Emperor Supreme was prepared to go alone, wishing to spare Lin Fei the danger. However, Lin Fei shook his head firmly, "That's impossible, I must go. Besides, I'm not without means to resist a Supreme. Even if I face one, I'm confident I can keep my life and retreat safely."

Lin Fei harbored a bold idea—he saw this as an opportunity. Since he was going to the Yin-Yang Immortal Domain, why not make the most of it?

His trip was not solely for rescue; it was also to collect more dark demon essences. With the highest concentration of dark demons in the Yin-Yang Immortal Domain, it was essential for him to go.

Moreover, this time was different from before. This time, Lin Fei was confident he could withstand a Supreme—at least, he could save his own life. Even if he encountered the Initial Demon Supreme again, he could still make an escape.

Seeing Lin Fei's resolute demeanor and recalling his previous escape from a Supreme, Azure Emperor Supreme no longer insisted. "Very well, we should not delay any longer. Let's depart now!"

The Azure Emperor was well aware of the dire situation. The three Martial Ancestors teetered on the brink of demise. Without any delay, they shattered the void and instantly disappeared into the void tunnel, leaving no trace behind.

...

In the Yin-Yang Immortal Domain, the situation was grim for the seven True Immortals and Martial Ancestors. The combat avatars of four True Immortals had been annihilated by the Supreme of the Dark Demon Domain.

Simultaneously, the bodies of the three Martial Ancestors had been largely obliterated. Moreover, the void was sealed. No matter their efforts, they could not break the void, much less enter the void tunnel.

Such was the power of the Supreme. It turned the very act of fleeing into a luxury for the True Immortals and Martial Ancestors.

"This time, even if we die, we must cause trouble for the Supreme of the Dark Demon Domain. Once the order is given, detonate all particles immediately, and ensure a severe blow to him!"

This was the result of a consultation among the three Martial Ancestors. They were prepared to perish together with their enemy. Even if they did not die, if they could severely injure the Supreme, their purpose would be achieved.

Regrettably, the Supreme of the Dark Demon Domain had already anticipated the intentions of the three Martial Ancestors. Thus, with a cold laugh, he said, "Hmph, you still wish to self-destruct? Useless, before me, even suicide is a luxury. Remember, I am the Supreme of the Dark Demon Domain, the Initial Demon Supreme!"

This Supreme was none other than the Initial Demon Supreme. Ever since he failed to defeat Lin Fei, allowing him to escape, the Initial Demon Supreme had personally taken action, continuously sweeping through the Yin-Yang Immortal Domain's True Immortals and Martial Ancestors.

For the Initial Demon Supreme, a being of such high stature, to sweep through the Yin-Yang Immortal Domain's True Immortals and Martial Ancestors was an overkill.

Certainly, he could sweep away all opposition! The seven True Immortals and Martial Ancestors of the Ancient Covenant had naturally been "marked" by the Initial Demon Supreme.

"So I hear you are from the Ancient Covenant? I wonder if Lin Fei will come to save you. I have been looking for him for a long time..."

The Initial Demon Supreme sneered.

"You..."

The seven True Immortals and Martial Ancestors tried to speak. However, they were completely suppressed by the terrifying authority of the Initial Demon Supreme, struggling to move, let alone speak.

The Initial Demon Supreme was also considered in his heart.

Would Lin Fei come after all? If not to lure Lin Fei here, he would have already killed these three Martial Ancestors. Otherwise, could they really send out a distress signal?

It was impossible. The reason he allowed the three Martial Ancestors to send out a distress signal. It was also a deliberate act by the Initial Demon Supreme. It was all to attract Lin Fei.

"Hum."

Suddenly, faint ripples of space appeared within the void. The seven True Immortals and Martial Ancestors widened their eyes, their faces etched with desperation as they shouted, "Do not come, for heaven's sake, do not come!"

They feared that Lin Fei would rush here regardless of the consequences, falling right into the trap. Yet, their cries were in vain.

The ripples in the void pulsed wider and more vigorously. Clearly, someone was traversing the spatial realms, approaching rapidly.

The Initial Demon Supreme's eyes gleamed. He stared intently at the space ripples and said coldly, "So you've come at last? This time, I will not let you escape again!"

The Initial Demon Supreme was almost certain that it was Lin Fei arriving.

"Whoosh."

As a figure emerged from the void tunnel, the Initial Demon Supreme took immediate action.

"Boom."

The Initial Demon Supreme held nothing back. His attack was with full force, ambushing the one traveling through the void.

"Bang."

However, when the two forces collided fiercely, they quickly separated, and evenly matched. The Initial Demon Supreme looked at his opponent in shock.

"Not Lin Fei? Are you... the Azure Emperor?"

The Initial Demon Supreme had evidently prepared well and was familiar with some of the Supremes in the Divine Realm. Moreover, he had previously encountered the Azure Emperor Supreme in Chaos.

"Whoosh."

Just then, a familiar figure appeared, making the Initial Demon Supreme's eyes turn bloodshot, almost to the point of madness. His gaze was fixed on the figure emerging from the void tunnel.

"Lin Fei! Unexpectedly, you have brought the Azure Emperor Supreme with you this time. But do you think that having a Supreme with you will save your life?"

The Initial Demon Supreme sneered. In truth, he had hardly exerted any effort against the seven True Immortals and Martial Ancestors just moments ago. But now, with Lin Fei present, the Initial Demon Supreme would spare no expense. He was determined to slay Lin Fei!

"Whoosh."

In the next moment, the Initial Demon Supreme charged at Lin Fei. The void was immediately sealed, preventing Lin Fei from escaping through it.

Moreover, the body of the Initial Demon Supreme swelled enormously, transforming into a colossal giant towering hundreds of thousands of meters, a terrifying figure that seemed to pierce the heavens!

"Lin Fei, meet your demise!"

The Initial Demon Supreme launched his fist. Instantly, the void shattered. Pure power surged tumultuously towards Lin Fei!

624. Encountering the Initial Demon Supreme Again!

Lin Fei once again faced the Initial Demon Supreme.

This time, the Initial Demon Supreme was thoroughly prepared, resolved not to underestimate Lin Fei and allow him to escape again.

With a mighty strike, Lin Fei tensed up, feeling almost as if he were suffocating. At any moment, the might of the Supreme was terrifying indeed!

At least, for now, Lin Fei had not yet transformed, and the Eternal Realm had not evolved; thus, he was far from being a match for the Supreme. All he could do now was to hold the line!

The Azure Emperor Supreme was about to make a move. But suddenly, another Supreme appeared in the void.

This Supreme swiftly intercepted the Azure Emperor Supreme and said with a smile, "Azure Emperor Supreme, your opponent is me!"

The Azure Emperor Supreme's expression darkened.

Two Dark Demon Supremes—unexpectedly, this time, the Initial Demon Supreme had become shrewd, bringing another Supreme just in case. And now, his preparations were indeed proving useful.

Upon witnessing this scene, the Initial Demon Supreme's face revealed a hint of a smile. He sneered, "See, Lin Fei? The Azure Emperor Supreme you're relying on can't save you. Today, no one can save you!"

Lin Fei glanced around, narrowing his eyes slightly, and said coldly, "Is that so? Initial Demon Supreme, you couldn't kill me the first time, and you won't kill me now!"

Lin Fei's goal was to rescue the seven True Immortals and Martial Ancestors. And for now, the seven True Immortals and Martial Ancestors were still alive. That was the silver lining. He just needed to get them out.

As for the Initial Demon Supreme, Lin Fei had no intentions of confronting him now. He didn't yet have the power to face a Supreme. But he did have the ability to preserve his life and escape in the presence of a Supreme, and that was enough!

"Illusory Realm!"

Without hesitation, Lin Fei invoked the Illusory Realm.

"Boom."

The Illusory Realm descended, suddenly enveloping the Initial Demon Supreme.

"Ha ha ha, you used this trick last time. Now I am prepared, your method of suppressing the mind will not hold me back anymore!"

Seeing the Illusory Realm descend, the Initial Demon Supreme was not surprised. He had prepared for it. Regardless, he allowed the Illusory Realm to envelop him.

"Buzz."

But when the Illusory Realm truly descended and enveloped the Initial Demon Supreme, his expression suddenly changed dramatically.

"How could this power that suppresses the mind be so strong?"

The Initial Demon Supreme had just tried to break free from the Illusory Realm. He indeed had some preparations, even carrying some artifacts that could strengthen the mind with him.

However, the Initial Demon Supreme forgot—Or perhaps underestimated. He could make preparations in advance, but couldn't Lin Fei enhance the power of the Illusory Realm?

In fact, Lin Fei had significantly increased the potency of the Illusory Realm. It was far superior to before.

The Initial Demon Supreme was still measuring this Illusory Realm by the standards of the last. That was bound to lead to his downfall. Even, a complete rout!

In the blink of an eye, the Initial Demon Supreme's gaze became muddled. At the same time, Lin Fei's Eternal Realm instantly spread in all directions.

"Not good! Initial Demon, wake up!"

The Supreme of the Dark Demon Domain, who was battling the Azure Emperor Supreme, changed his expression instantly. He could not have anticipated that the Initial Demon Supreme would once again fall into confusion.

Evidently, he was again suppressed by Lin Fei's unique technique that targeted the mind. He attempted to rouse the Initial Demon Supreme.

It had some effect.

The Initial Demon Supreme struggled. However, Lin Fei's Eternal Realm spread rapidly. In the blink of an eye, it had encompassed the seven True Immortals and Martial Ancestors.

"Azure Emperor Supreme, let's go!"

Lin Fei did not hesitate. He immediately shattered the void.

"Whoosh."

In the next moment, Lin Fei's Illusory Realm and Eternal Realm suddenly contracted.

Lin Fei plunged into the void. In an instant, he disappeared without a trace.

The Initial Demon Supreme also suddenly came to his senses. His expression was ugly. Clearly, he understood what had just occurred. Lin Fei had once again escaped right from under his nose, in full view of everyone. He was even powerless to stop it.

"Damn it! How could he succeed again? Is my mind really that fragile? No, it's Lin Fei, he has grown stronger..."

The Initial Demon Supreme's expression was grim and unpleasant.

Lin Fei had grown stronger again and in such a short time? If this continued, once Lin Fei truly became a Supreme, the consequences would be unimaginable.

The Azure Emperor Supreme had witnessed all of Lin Fei's maneuvers. Seeing that Lin Fei's Illusory Realm could even trap the Initial Demon Supreme, even if it was only for a short time, it was enough!

With such a method, it would be very difficult for a Supreme to kill Lin Fei. At least, when facing most Supremes, Lin Fei could retreat comfortably.

"Whoosh."

Seeing Lin Fei had left, the Azure Emperor Supreme hesitated no longer. He also traversed the void to leave. As a fellow Supreme, the Azure Emperor Supreme, when deciding to leave, let alone two Supremes of the Dark Demon Domain, even three or five would not be able to detain him.

Supremes are not easily killed or destroyed!

Unless the power completely overwhelms or specifically counters them, no one can confine a Supreme, much less slay one. Even the Lord of the Dark Demons relied on his ultimate trump card. Only then was he able to slay the Original Dao Supreme... but that was a one-time event.

"Initial Demon, you have failed again. This time, you were fully prepared and even used the True Immortals and Martial Ancestors of the Ancient Covenant as bait. Yet, under these circumstances, you still couldn't kill Lin Fei. This matter, you can explain to the Lord yourself."

With that, the Supreme of the Dark Demon Domain also left, leaving only the Initial Demon Supreme grinding his teeth in the darkness, his body radiating murderous intent.

"Lin Fei... next time, I will surely kill you!"

Although the Initial Demon Supreme harbored a deep hatred for Lin Fei, he was also acutely aware of the strength of Lin Fei's Illusory Realm, which could suppress his spirit.

Unless the Lord would bestow upon him some precious treasures specifically to strengthen his mental will, he would never be able to kill Lin Fei, no matter how many times they met.

Despite his reluctance, the Initial Demon Supreme had no choice but to leave. Even with thorough preparations, he was utterly defeated. He now had to consider how to face the Lord's wrath upon his return.

...

"Whoosh."

Lin Fei returned to the Ancient City. He moved the seven True Immortals and Martial Ancestors out of the Eternal Realm. The seven True Immortal Martial Ancestors glanced around and smiled.

"It's Ancient City, we are saved!"

"We didn't die after all, and it's all thanks to Martial Ancestor Lin."

"Martial Ancestor Lin, today was really dangerous, you took quite a risk. Next time, please don't take such risks."

"Indeed, if we had died, it would have been just us. But Martial Ancestor Lin, you are the hope of the entire Divine Realm, don't take such risks!"

"However, we must thank Martial Ancestor Lin no matter what..."

The seven True Immortal Martial Ancestors bowed and expressed their gratitude to Lin Fei. Especially the three Martial Ancestors. They were truly prepared to die in battle. They didn't expect to still be alive in the end. And to be well. Their gratitude towards Lin Fei was genuine.

"A trivial matter. You were searching for the essence of the Dark Demon's life for me; how could I stand by and watch you die? Besides, you all saw it this time. The Initial Demon Supreme cannot do anything to me. Even when facing a Supreme, I can retreat with my whole body!"

Hearing this, everyone smiled. Being able to preserve life in the presence of a Supreme, to some extent, they were now regarded as equals to a Supreme.

It seemed they were not mistaken. Lin Fei was indeed the hope of the Ancient Covenant and even the entire Divine Realm!
