Chapter 637-650 (Patreon)

637. Time Acceleration in the Eternal Realm, Tenfold!

Upon his return to the Ancient City, Lin Fei retreated to his chamber. This time, his Eternal Realm had transformed.

Indeed, it granted him the power to slay supreme beings beyond his level. Yet, concerning the specifics of the Eternal Realm, Lin Fei had no time to explore.

For instance, the catalyst for the transformation of the Eternal Realm—the emergence of sentient life.

Lin Fei had not yet taken a close look. Now, having some time, he focused all his consciousness within the Eternal Realm.

"Hmm?"

Lin Fei was now within the Eternal Realm. A sweep of his consciousness, And he immediately saw the changes that had occurred in the Eternal Realm.

In a brief span, due to the birth of the sentient beings "divine demons," considerable changes had taken place within the Eternal Realm.

Lin Fei had created more than one divine demon. After all, for intelligent life to proliferate, One alone was not enough. These divine demons were scattered far and wide, Spread across various parts of the Eternal Realm.

Lin Fei wished to see which of these divine demons could survive, then continue to reproduce and gradually grow stronger? And which would vanish into the annals of history?

Now, Lin Fei observed one particular tribe of divine demons. This tribe called themselves the "divine demon clan." They believed themselves to be descendants of the divine demons. Thus, they spent their lives striving to become true divine demons.

When Lin Fei created these intelligent beings, he indeed implanted some memories of divine demons. In fact, they were fabrications of Lin Fei. He made these intelligent beings believe in the existence of powerful divine demons.

Of course, this divine demon Clan did not cultivate. They lacked the methods of cultivation. Their only advantage in the Eternal Realm was their intelligence!

Indeed, their numbers were far too few compared to other life forms in the Eternal Realm. This particular tribe of divine demons numbered merely in the hundreds. It was a very small tribe.

Yet this small tribe had already organized themselves in a short time. They even began to preserve fire and cooked their food with it. Such was the power of intelligence.

With fire, and the knowledge to utilize it, this was the most crucial step for the survival of intelligent life!

However, time was still moving too slowly. The flow of time in the Eternal Realm was the same as that of the outside world.

Lin Fei pondered. "I wonder if I can now accelerate the flow of time in the Eternal Realm?"

Lin Fei wanted to create a difference in the speed of time. He had tried before and always felt something was missing.

Perhaps it was just a small world, or perhaps the Eternal Realm had not yet transformed.

Lin Fei's power was insufficient to accelerate the flow of time in the Eternal Realm.

Now, Lin Fei wanted to try again. Otherwise, with the same flow of time, the development of the Eternal Realm would be very slow to Lin Fei.

Although Lin Fei could not comprehend the laws of time, aside from the world laws, he could not grasp any other laws.

Yet, the Eternal Realm was Lin Fei's world. Lin Fei could become one with the world.

The Eternal Realm was Lin Fei. And Lin Fei was the Eternal Realm!

This was distinct from being a Ruler; the difference was substantial. A Ruler could merely harness some of the powers of a realm.

But Lin Fei? He was the Eternal Realm itself!

Thus, with a mere thought from Lin Fei,

Almost instinctively, he attempted to accelerate the pace of the Eternal Realm!

Or rather, it wasn't about speeding up the Eternal Realm per se. It was about creating a differential in time flow with the Divine Realm.

Lin Fei immediately felt the Eternal Realm tremble slightly.

Time accelerated!

Under any circumstances, accelerating time was no trivial feat.

Even within dreams, to hasten the flow of time, one had to cultivate the Great Dream Heart Sutra. The deeper the cultivation, the deeper the layer of the dream one could enter.

Thus, for Lin Fei to speed up time, even within his own Eternal Realm, was a formidable challenge.

However, Lin Fei's Eternal Realm had now reached the level of a True Monarch world.

Subtly, Lin Fei manipulated the Eternal Realm. It seemed to be undergoing some peculiar transformation. This change was intangible; Lin Fei could neither see nor touch it. But he could feel it.

"The laws have changed..."

Lin Fei thought to himself.

A world comprised various and innumerable laws, not just a single law. Countless laws were needed to maintain the operation of the entire world.

Originally, these laws did not interfere with each other, maintaining the orderly operation of the Eternal Realm.

However, Lin Fei wanted to accelerate the flow of time in the Eternal Realm.

At that moment, as if ordained by fate, all laws changed. It seemed they were all "adapting" to the hastened pace of time.

This was a good thing, however. At least Lin Fei knew that this time, he might be able to accelerate the flow of time.

Time passed by slowly.

Soon, Lin Fei could distinctly feel it. His body felt slightly lighter. The heavy pressure from before had diminished.

"Did it work?"

Lin Fei pondered. He glanced at the situation within the Eternal Realm. Internally, the Eternal Realm was still the same as before.

A day was still a day. An hour remained an hour. It seemed there were no changes. But the speed of time can only be relative.

Thus, Lin Fei shifted his consciousness back to the Divine Realm. He spent an hour there to test.

After staying an hour in the Divine Realm, he returned to the Eternal Realm to see how much time had passed there.

"Ten hours? That is to say, one hour in the Divine Realm equals ten in the Eternal Realm. The flow of time; the Eternal Realm is nearly tenfold that of the Divine Realm!"

A strange gleam flickered in Lin Fei's eyes. A tenfold acceleration seemed scarcely swift. A year in the Divine Realm amounted to but ten in the Eternal Realm.

Yet, this prospect kindled hope within Lin Fei. Should his Eternal Realm grow stronger, he might even accelerate further.

Next time, might it reach a hundredfold in time's flow? For now, tenfold sufficed barely. More than a month in the Divine Realm spanned a year within the Eternal Realm.

However, Lin Fei could feel it; this was the limit. He had just enhanced the flow of time, feeling the immense pressure it brought.

To have reached this decuple pace, for Lin Fei, was temporarily sufficient.

Lin Fei secluded himself in a secret chamber.

As time passed, one day, three days, five days, ten days...

In a blink, over three months had elapsed. Three months in the Divine Realm, equated to thirty-six months in the Eternal Realm—nearly three years!

In those three years within the Eternal Realm, it grew stronger daily. This was due to the divine demon proliferating and gaining strength.

As these beings flourished, so too did Lin Fei's Eternal Realm rise in power.

Thus, Lin Fei needed time. The longer it passed, the mightier he became!

Lin Fei understood clearly. The Dark Demon Lord would not relent. He would not permit Lin Fei's growth unchallenged. The quiet from the Dark Demon Domain for such an extended period was unusual.

Lin Fei sensed that perhaps the Lord was brewing something, possibly preparing a fatal strike or devising a means to counter him. This was not beyond the realm of possibility.

After all, the foundations of the Dark Demon Domain were profoundly deep. The Dark Demon Domain had even conquered several other realms. Compared to the Divine Realm, it naturally possessed far greater resources. Various strategies were at their disposal.

However, Lin Fei was not idle, nor were the eight Supreme Beings of the Divine Realm. They continually sent him essences of flesh and blood, along with True Monarch-level world laws, to aid Lin Fei's further advancement.

Yet, these enhancements were modest. Suddenly, Lin Fei heard the Azure Emperor Supreme's voice in his ear, "Lin Fei, there is a matter we believe you must decide!"

638. A Turn from the Chaos!

"Hmm?"

Lin Fei opened his eyes.

What matter could be so urgent that the Azure Emperor Supreme himself would send a message directly? Was it concerning the Dark Demon Domain?

Lin Fei did not know, and the Azure Emperor Supreme had not elaborated.

Thus, Lin Fei rose and stepped forth, traversing space in an instant. When he reappeared, he had already arrived at the headquarters of the Ancient Covenant.

"Lin Fei has arrived!"

At that moment, within the grand hall of the Ancient Covenant, including the Azure Emperor Supreme, all eight Supremes were assembled.

Clearly, a significant event had transpired; otherwise, it would be unthinkable for all eight Supremes to gather together.

"Esteemed Supremes, what has happened?" Lin Fei asked directly. "Is there some movement from the Dark Demon Domain?"

The Azure Emperor Supreme shook his head slightly, "There has been no movement in the Dark Demon Domain; they remain secluded within the Yin-Yang Immortal Domain without any signs of expansion, appearing utterly quiet.

We have been monitoring the Dark Demon Domain closely. Should there be any disturbance, we would know immediately. This matter does not concern the Dark Demon Domain, but rather, it pertains to the Chaos."

"The Chaos?" A gleam of curiosity flashed in Lin Fei's eyes. He had long been aware of the Chaos. Within it, countless realms like the Dark Demon Domain and the Divine Realm existed, realms only the Supremes could traverse.

Although Lin Fei was not yet a Supreme, his strength was no less than any among them. Moreover, having transformed his body into a world of its own, robust in flesh, he was also capable of venturing into the Chaos. It was only the current turmoil in the Divine Realm that had prevented him from exploring the Chaos until now.

"Indeed, it concerns the Chaos," continued the Azure Emperor Supreme. "Recently, we detected some intense fluctuations near the Divine Realm. These fluctuations are undoubtedly artificial, possibly even indicating a battle. Thus, we dispatched Black Tortoise Supreme to investigate."

"What exactly had happened?"

"Black Tortoise Supreme discovered the source of the disturbances. It turns out, near our Divine Realm, a nascent realm is forming. That is to say, a realm is slowly coming into existence. Of course, it is still nascent.

To fully emerge, it could take thousands if not tens of thousands of years or even longer. However, for some reason, this information may have leaked. Many Supreme beings from the Chaos have gathered around this nascent realm.

They are preparing to wait for the nascent realm to fully form, to then claim it. We believe that since this nascent realm could potentially become a full-fledged realm, it is of utmost importance.

Martial Ancestor Lin, your Eternal Realm, although not a true realm in Chaos, is still a world. You have always said, you wish for your Eternal Realm to evolve. And isn't the ultimate evolution for a world to become a realm like the Divine Realm?

If you were to consume this nascent realm and fully integrate it into your Eternal Realm. Could there not be a chance, in the future, for your Eternal Realm to evolve into a realm?

Even if it cannot transform now, it could surely greatly enhance the power of your Eternal Realm, could it not? With the Lord of Dark Demons remaining silent, we are all somewhat uneasy. He is likely brewing some earth-shattering scheme."

Only with the increased power of your Eternal Realm, Martial Ancestor Lin, might you be able to withstand the machinations of the Lord of Dark Demons!"

Upon hearing the Azure Emperor Supreme's words, Lin Fei's heart surged with excitement.

A nascent realm!

A realm that could one day fully emerge! If he could allow his Eternal Realm to consume it, then perhaps, Lin Fei's Eternal Realm could also transform into a realm. Even the mere hope was sufficient. This indeed was a rare opportunity for Lin Fei.

"Azure Emperor Supreme, thank you for bringing the nascent realm to my attention," Lin Fei expressed his gratitude. "You are correct in your speculation. The nascent realm is likely of great importance to me."

"Therefore, I have decided to venture into the Chaos," Lin Fei declared with unwavering resolve. "No matter what, I must seize that nascent realm."

The Azure Emperor Supreme smiled, knowing well that Lin Fei would not miss this opportunity. With a laugh, he said, "Indeed, Martial Ancestor Lin, you should take this time to seize the nascent realm and strive to enhance your strength."

"Since the Lord of Dark Demons remains inactive," he continued, "and since he is silently preparing something, we too must not be unprepared.

However, Martial Ancestor Lin, this will be your first foray into the Chaos. Although your strength is formidable, you are unfamiliar with the Chaos. This time, Black Tortoise Supreme and I will accompany you to the Chaos to claim the nascent realm!

The remaining six Supremes will remain stationed within the Divine Realm. Regardless, we will return to the Divine Realm as soon as possible to avoid any unforeseen events."

It appeared that the Azure Emperor Supreme and the others had already planned thoroughly.

Lin Fei nodded in agreement. This indeed was the best arrangement. With the experience of the Azure Emperor Supreme and Black Tortoise Supreme, there should be no mishaps in the Chaos.

Moreover, their strength would also be a significant aid to Lin Fei in contesting for the nascent realm.

"Very well, let us delay no further and depart immediately!" Lin Fei was already eager, almost impatient to head into the Chaos.

"Martial Ancestor Lin, there is no need to rush," the Azure Emperor Supreme cautioned. "The Chaos is not so easily navigated. Once you enter, it remains to be seen if you can adapt."

"Let's go!" he declared, and under the guidance of the Azure Emperor Supreme, Lin Fei, and Black Tortoise Supreme, the trio directly traversed the void, vanishing from the Ancient City.

"Hum."

In a certain void within the Divine Realm, ripples of space appeared.

"Swoosh."

Lin Fei, the Azure Emperor Supreme, and the Black Tortoise Supreme emerged one by one from the spatial passage.

"Where is this?" Lin Fei looked around. It seemed like nothing special. Just an ordinary expanse of the void.

The Azure Emperor Supreme offered a gentle smile.

"Martial Ancestor Lin, why not try to feel the surroundings once more?"

Thus, Lin Fei concentrated once again on sensing the void around him. Still, he initially discerned nothing unusual. Deciding to fully embody his Eternal Realm—for in this form his power peaked and his senses were heightened to their utmost—he finally detected the uniqueness of this expanse of void.

"This void," Lin Fei noted, "seems to be blocked by some force ahead and above. Or rather, it seems there is no void ahead or above at all. Is there no path forward?"

Lin Fei was somewhat astonished, having never encountered such a phenomenon before. The Azure Emperor Supreme explained with a smile, "Indeed, this part of the void is the boundary of the Divine Realm."

"People say the Divine Realm is boundless," he continued. "But in truth, even the vast Divine Realm has its limits. It's just that ordinary beings cannot reach this boundary, or even if they do, they do not realize it.

Only we, the Supremes, can sense the edge of the Divine Realm. What lies ahead and above is the realm's membrane. To leave the Divine Realm and enter the Chaos, we must breach this membrane."

"Realm membrane?" Lin Fei murmured to himself.

He reached out his hand, attempting to grasp what was in front of him. Yet, there was nothing tangible—merely an emptiness, seemingly unobstructed.

But when embodied as his Eternal Realm, Lin Fei could feel that indeed, the path was "blocked."

"How can we break through the realm membrane?" Lin Fei inquired.

"It's quite simple. One only needs the power of a Supreme," the Azure Emperor Supreme responded. "Breaking the membrane from the outside to enter a realm requires far greater strength. But from inside to the Chaos, it is much easier.

Moreover, we need not fear that we cannot return. We carry the essence of the Divine Realm, the breath of life from the Divine Realm. Even if we return from the Chaos, the Divine Realm will readily accept us, allowing us to easily break through the Divine Realm's membrane and reenter.

Those from the Dark Demon Domain cannot do this. Beings from the Dark Demon Domain can only enter the Divine Realm because the Lord of Dark Demons uses some artifact or method to forcibly open the Divine Realm's membrane."

Lin Fei nodded, indicating his understanding.

"Good, now that you understand, let us proceed," declared the Azure Emperor Supreme.

As his words fell, "Boom." In the next moment, Lin Fei acted.

639. The Law of Survival in Chaos

Within the blink of an eye, Lin Fei's Eternal Realm vibrated the void, unleashing a strike of supreme magnitude. Instantaneously, the void shattered.

"Crack."

It was as if Lin Fei could "see" the membrane of the Divine Realm tear open, revealing a vast rift. Without hesitation, he retracted his Eternal Realm.

"Swoosh."

Lin Fei stepped forward, entering the crack. Immediately, he felt a distinct sensation, unlike any spatial traversal he had experienced before, enduring immense pressure. Yet, his body, robust enough to withstand it, bore the strain.

"Swish."

Soon, Lin Fei felt a tightening sensation all over. It seemed he had arrived in a strange place. Lifting his head and looking around, he saw nothing but a white expanse. There was no land; only void surrounded him, and faint, peculiar forces were attempting to erode his physical form.

Of course, any erosion was trivial for Lin Fei—his body was, in essence, the Eternal Realm itself. Without his permission, what force could possibly infiltrate the Eternal Realm?

"These must be the Chaotic Qi," Lin Fei murmured quietly.

Chaotic Qi surrounded him on all sides. For a mere Martial Ancestor, resisting these Qi would be quite challenging and even strenuous. A moment's carelessness could lead to erosion by the Chaotic Qi, potentially causing severe injury or even death.

Thus, Chaos was not a place for martial ancestors to venture. Only a Supreme, with a body capable of resisting the erosion of Chaotic Qi, could survive here.

Of course, should an accident occur, and the Chaotic Qi infiltrate the body of a Supreme, the damage could be immense.

"Shatter the true void."

Lin Fei attempted to obliterate the true void with a single blow but to no avail. The space of Chaos seemed exceptionally stable, resistant even to the power of a Supreme. In the Chaos, one could only rely on flight.

Hence, artifacts that enhanced speed were crucial.

"Swoosh, swoosh."

At that moment, the Azure Emperor Supreme and Black Tortoise Supreme also stepped into the Chaos. Upon seeing Lin Fei, both were slightly taken aback.

Lin Fei stood quietly amidst the Chaos, seemingly without any defensive posture, letting the Chaotic Qi swirl around him. Yet, they could not affect him in the slightest.

"Indeed, our worries were superfluous," the Azure Emperor Supreme commented with a laugh. "Martial Ancestor Lin's ability to vanquish a Supreme from the Dark Demon Domain speaks to his formidable strength, particularly his physical prowess, which certainly matches that of a Supreme. The Chaotic Qi here cannot faze Lin Fei!"

"Azure Emperor Supreme, this Chaos seems boundless. It appears we cannot break through space or traverse it; must we really rely on flight to travel? How long might that take?" Lin Fei couldn't help but ask.

The Azure Emperor Supreme slowly nodded, "True, the void of Chaos is difficult to breach, let alone traverse. We can only rely on flight.

As for the time it will take, there's simply no way around it. But that isn't critical. Who enters Chaos who is not at the level of a Supreme?

A Supreme's lifespan is virtually endless, akin to immortality. What does it matter if we travel thousands or even tens of thousands of years in Chaos? It's inconsequential to us Supremes.

Moreover, traveling through Chaos doesn't necessarily rely on our own flight capabilities. Some artifacts designed for flight are incredibly fast and well-suited for flying through Chaos.

Actually, the current distance between the Dark Demon Domain and the Divine Realm might even assist us. I suspect that the recent silence from the Dark Demon Domain indicates that the Lord of Dark Demons has returned there.

Perhaps he went to retrieve some artifact to use against Lin Fei. But such a journey, even with a flight artifact, would take a considerable amount of time.

This gives the Divine Realm an opportunity, at least in the short term, where we don't have to worry about threats from the Dark Demon Domain."

Lin Fei nodded thoughtfully. Indeed, that was a possibility. The current measures of the Lord of Dark Demons were ineffective against him.

Yet, the Lord would certainly not give up on the Divine Realm. To counter Lin Fei, he would need to return to the Dark Demon Domain first. Perhaps the Lord had some hidden methods or artifacts there that could be used against Lin Fei. Such a journey would take a considerable amount of time.

And that's precisely why the Azure Emperor Supreme and Black Tortoise Supreme had accompanied Lin Fei into the Chaos, without fear of immediate issues arising in the Divine Realm.

Lin Fei took another moment to feel the conditions within the Chaos. Then, without further hesitation, he declared, "Enough delay; we must make haste to the location of the nascent realm. Should anything happen to it, or if it's destroyed, all our efforts would be in vain."

The longer they waited, the more they risked the nascent realm being compromised.

"Agreed, let's depart immediately," Black Tortoise Supreme said. "Stay close behind me."

Only he knew where the nascent realm was located, so naturally, Black Tortoise Supreme led the way. Lin Fei and the Azure Emperor Supreme followed closely behind him, speeding through the depths of Chaos.

Within the vast and silent expanse of Chaos, tranquility ruled, a stark contrast to the turmoil they had left behind in the realms of order.

Lin Fei transformed into a streak of flowing light amidst the Chaos. Though his speed was already considerable, within the vast Chaos, it amounted to little.

At such a pace, even eons would not suffice to reach the end of Chaos.

Does Chaos have an end?

Lin Fei did not know. Yet, it was highly probable that an end existed; only, beings of supreme levels could never hope to reach it.

Days passed one after another. One day, two days, three days...

Lin Fei flew through the Chaos. Within the realm of eternity, time flowed tenfold faster.

Under such rapid temporal currents, Lin Fei's realm of eternity continued to ascend, improving with every moment.

One month, two months, three months...

Over three months had elapsed.

"We have arrived!"

At that moment, the Black Tortoise Supreme ceased to move. He no longer continued to fly.

With a thought, Lin Fei also paused. He sensed, not far ahead in the Chaos, powerful auras one after another. All were of Supreme levels.

Clearly, the Chaos ahead teemed with supremes. Perhaps, they were all vying for the nascent realms. After all, in the Chaos, realms were the most precious treasures. The supremes all hoped to find unclaimed realms.

"Lin Fei, in the Chaos, you truly need not hold any reservations. After all, the supremes of Chaos do not recognize each other. Nor do they know from which realms they hail. The most crucial thing is never to reveal your realm's location.

And certainly, never let anyone track you or use special methods to do so. Like the crisis of the Dark Demon Domain this time. It was because the Radiance Supreme was exploited by the Lord of Dark Demons using some special methods, leading him to our Divine Realm.

As long as you aren't tracked, or your realm's location isn't discovered. Then in the Chaos, we can act without any constraints, fearing no one. In Chaos, only strength is respected!"

The Azure Emperor imparted these insights to Lin Fei in great detail. These were the understandings he had gained from years of navigating the Chaos. This was his experience in venturing through the Chaos.

Here, no one presses with power. Because it's utterly useless. And nobody cares. In the Chaos, strength reigns supreme. That is what matters most.

"Strength reigns supreme?"

A sharp glint flashed in Lin Fei's eyes.

"Let us depart, the nascent realm shall be mine!"

Instantly, Lin Fei became a streak of light, soaring towards the deep reaches of the Chaos.

640. Swallows the Nascent Realm!

Deep within the Chaos, a group of Supremes remained vigilantly observant of their surroundings. They did not trust each other. Their sole focus was the nascent realm situated in the midst.

For the Supremes, a nascent realm itself held no utility, only when it developed into a true realm would it significantly benefit them.

However, such a transformation could take an extensive amount of time. Perhaps a hundred years. Perhaps a thousand. Or even longer.

Yet, the supremes were indifferent. They were immortal. Thus, be it a hundred years, a thousand, or even ten thousand years—what did it matter?

For the immortal supremes, ten thousand years were but the blink of an eye. Truly inconsequential. But to this day, no one had made a move. They were all waiting!

"Swoosh."

At that moment, three figures appeared. Flying in from the distance. Instantly, many supremes' gazes converged on the trio.

"Three more supremes have arrived."

"Heh, I wonder from where these supremes hail?"

"It seems the news has thoroughly spread."

"Once the nascent realm fully matures into a realm, an earth-shattering battle will be inevitable."

The three arrivals were none other than Lin Fei, Azure Emperor Supreme, and Black Tortoise Supreme.

As for the other supremes within the surrounding Chaos. They were not particularly concerned about these three. There were already so many supremes here. They didn't mind the addition of three more.

After all, any additional supremes would just have to wait, just like them. However, Lin Fei was ultimately different from these supremes.

"Is that the nascent realm up ahead?"

Lin Fei's gaze was fixed intently on the void in front.

There lay a massive cloud of gray-white mist. It seemed to be constantly churning as if nurturing something.

The area was vast. There were faint ripples of rules and laws.

"Indeed, that is the nascent realm. In the Chaos, realms can be born at any time. But no one knows exactly how a realm comes into being. It's only known that occasionally, nascent realms appear in the Chaos and gradually evolve into realms.

Once a realm is born, especially an unclaimed one. At such times, the supremes actually have the best opportunity to 'comprehend' the grand dao of the realm. Even to become the Ruler of the realm! That's why so many supremes are patiently waiting for this nascent realm," Azure Emperor explained.

Lin Fei nodded in understanding.

The paths to mastering the grand Dao and becoming the Ruler of a fully developed realm were too arduous, nearly impossible. The Divine Realm at its zenith had many supremes, yet no Ruler ever emerged after such long spans of time; otherwise, it would not have been susceptible to invasions from the Dark Demon Domain.

However, a newly born realm was different. Many of its laws and principles were still incomplete. If a supreme could enter such a realm at this stage and contemplate over a long period, there was a high likelihood of becoming a Ruler.

For the supremes, this represented a "shortcut" to achieving Ruler. With even a sliver of hope, who wouldn't take the shortcut?

Yet Lin Fei's gaze upon the nascent realm was tinged with fervor. He was different from the other supremes. He did not require a complete realm.

If it were complete, Lin Fei's eternal realm could not assimilate it. What he needed was precisely the nascent realm. Only a nascent realm could potentially be assimilated and merged with Lin Fei's eternal realm.

This was an opportunity that came once in a millennium, almost impossible to seek out. After all, many supremes might not encounter a nascent realm for millions of years.

Lin Fei glanced around. With so many supremes present, any move he made would likely provoke a collective attack.

But Lin Fei would not be deterred. He simply needed a plan.

"Azure Emperor Supreme, Black Tortoise Supreme," he communicated telepathically. "I will take action directly, sparing no expense to seize the nascent realm. If we succeed, we escape. They do not know we are from the Divine Realm, nor do they know its location. Once we leave, they can do nothing."

"What if they stop us?" Black Tortoise Supreme voiced his concern.

"Then we shall have no choice but to slay supremes! As long as they are not Rulers, there should be no problem. Besides, even if they are Rulers, what is there to fear if they are not within their controlled realms?"

A fierce glint flashed in Lin Fei's eyes. He had slain supremes before and was now confident. Even if there were many supremes here, he was undaunted.

"Very well, let us proceed as you suggest, Martial Ancestor Lin."

"I will take responsibility for consuming the nascent realm first," Lin Fei declared. "You two restrain the supremes as long as possible. Create an opportunity for me and buy time."

Azure Emperor spoke with resolve. He agreed with Lin Fei's strategy. "Alright, let's do this."

Lin Fei did not hesitate.

"Swoosh."

The next moment, Lin Fei made his move. He transformed into a streak of light, surging past the multitude of supremes, heading straight for the nascent realm. At this, the surrounding supremes were startled.

"What is he doing? The nascent realm hasn't even formed into a realm yet; what use is there going there now?"

"Does he intend to seize the nascent realm prematurely?"

"But even if he seizes it prematurely, it's pointless."

Lin Fei, now a beam of light, sped towards the nascent realm.

In that instant, none of the supremes reacted. They were all too surprised. None knew what Lin Fei was attempting.

After all, every supreme who had come here was silently waiting for the nascent realm to develop into a true realm. That would be the proper time for them to act.

Acting now? It made no sense.

But this played into Lin Fei's hands. He faced virtually no opposition on his way and reached the vicinity of the nascent realm first.

Lin Fei stopped. He could see that the nascent realm was indeed transforming rapidly.

Inside, various laws and the essence of the world were in utter Chaos. It seemed something was being nurtured. Given time, it would evolve into a true realm!

But Lin Fei would not give the nascent realm that chance. He did not need a complete realm.

Lin Fei needed just the nascent realm!

"Eternal Realm, Devour!"

The next moment, Lin Fei's body became a world.

"Boom."

The vast Eternal Realm appeared. Majestically, it swept towards the nascent realm with a momentum that could swallow the universe.

At this point, the other supremes in the Chaos seemed to realize what was happening.

"Quick, stop him! He's trying to devour the nascent realm."

"Transforming into a world, what kind of technique is this?"

The supremes finally reacted, their faces filled with shock. They hadn't anticipated that Lin Fei would actually "devour" the entire nascent realm. This was unprecedented. Never had it occurred before.

But now, as they moved to intervene, it was already too late. Because the Azure Emperor and Black Tortoise Supreme had already lunged at the supremes. They were there to obstruct them. Even if it was just to delay them for a while.

"Boom."

The Azure Emperor and Black Tortoise Supreme unleashed a cataclysmic battle.

Meanwhile, Lin Fei's Eternal Realm had already "swallowed" the nascent realm whole!

641. The Descent of the Illusory Realm, Suppressing Dozens of Chaos Supremes!

"Insolence! Whoever you are, regurgitate the prototype of the realm immediately, or your demise today is certain!"

"Bold enough to swallow the realm's prototype, do you take us Supremes for mere decorations?"

"Daring to ingest the realm's prototype, such a transgression demands death!"

Upon seeing Lin Fei, they were indeed outraged to witness him daring to "swallow" the realm's prototype.

The Supremes, one after another, were incensed. They had guarded the prototype of this realm for so long.

Could it be that Lin Fei would reap the benefits so easily?

Across the entire Chaos, there were dozens of Supremes. Each eyed Lin Fei with fierce indignation, staring intently at him alongside the Azure Emperor Supreme and the Black Tortoise Supreme.

Even a murderous intent was apparent. Should Lin Fei's response fail to satisfy them, perhaps, they might indeed resort to slaughter!

The expressions of the Azure Emperor Supreme and the Black Tortoise Supreme were gravely solemn. They glanced back at Lin Fei, their intent clear. They queried whether it was time to leave now.

However, a Supreme seemed to have discerned their intentions. Supremes from all directions had already encircled the trio. Escape now seemed an impossibility!

Yet, Lin Fei remained utterly still, in truth, he was fervently integrating with the realm's prototype.

Lin Fei realized that merging with the realm's prototype was not an overnight affair. It might require a considerable amount of time.

Though the integration process was lengthy, the prototype posed no immediate troubles for Lin Fei's Eternal Realm.

With a swift motion, Lin Fei stirred.

"The Illusory Realm!"

With a thunderous roar, Lin Fei unleashed the Illusory Realm; instantly, it enveloped the dozens of Supremes within.

Despite the presence of some supremely powerful beings amongst these Supremes, and those with formidable mental fortitude, none could withstand the power of Lin Fei's Illusory Realm.

Regardless of their stature, all were effectively subdued. Expressions of bewilderment crossed the faces of all the Supremes.

Only a few struggled, their faces showing a hint of struggle. Clearly, such Supremes could not be suppressed by Lin Fei's Illusory Realm for long.

"Let's go."

At that moment, Lin Fei, along with the Azure Emperor Supreme and others, transformed into a streak of light, swiftly exiting the Chaos.

As Lin Fei departed, the Illusory Realm was also retracted. Instantly, without the influence of the Illusory Realm, the Supremes regained their senses. They looked at each other, exchanging puzzled glances.

"Where are those three unknown Supremes?"

"And the realm's prototype?"

"Did they truly escape?"

"But, I felt as though I was ensnared by an illusion just now..."

Many of the Supremes didn't even understand what had happened. Only a few among them actually knew the events that had just transpired. Even the Illusory Realm had not detained them for long.

Yet now, they remained silent. The Illusory Realm! They had been subdued by it.

Such an occurrence was unprecedented. These were dozens of Supremes!

To think that a single entity could "subdue" so many was astonishing. Such a Supreme must indeed be of the highest echelon.

Even if they pursued it, what then? Especially if pursued alone, it might even be perilous.

Thus, they remained speechless. Even though Lin Fei had "swallowed" the realm's prototype, to them, it was merely a loss of some time.

For Supremes, time was least scarce. But to pursue might mean death! The importance of risks versus gains was clear to them.

"The Supremes we just faced were extraordinary, certainly not of common stock."

"Indeed, let's not pursue. The realm's prototype has been consumed, and what if we caught up? It would still be dangerous, and we need not take such risks."

"Those three Supremes clearly came prepared. And with one among them being a top-tier Supreme, our defeat is not unjust."

"Can a Supreme really be so powerful?"

"I had thought the differences among Supremes were minor, but now I see the gap is indeed vast..."

Despite some disappointment, they were well aware that the strong reign supreme in the Chaos. Those three Supremes, having the courage and strength to "seize" the realm's prototype were undoubtedly powerful, especially Lin Fei.

Alone, he subdued dozens of Supremes. This was truly staggering.

"Let it be, let's return."

"In the Chaos, there are plenty of opportunities. We may have lost the chance for the realm's prototype this time, but other opportunities will arise."

"Indeed, there are not few opportunities within the Chaos..."

These Supremes, each had "come to terms" with the situation. Moreover, unable to trace Lin Fei's path, They could only depart.

...

In the midst of the Chaos.

This was an unfamiliar territory of Chaos, seemingly unexplored even by the Black Tortoise Supreme.

"No pursuit."

Lin Fei surveyed his surroundings. With a slight sensing, he knew that the other Supremes had not followed.

Lin Fei was well-prepared. To avoid being tracked, he had no intention whatsoever of returning to the Divine Realm, nor was he traveling in the usual directions.

This was a deliberate choice by Lin Fei. Yet, he remained uneasy, concerned for the Azure Emperor Supreme and the Black Tortoise Supreme.

Should they, like the Radiance Supreme, be tracked by special means, their return to the Divine Realm could expose it to further threats.

Thus, Lin Fei prepared to perform a thorough "purge" here, at least to remove any potential tracking methods on himself or on the Azure Emperor Supreme and the Black Tortoise Supreme.

For other Supremes, such a removal might prove challenging. Indeed, the variety of tracking methods was daunting, each Supreme practiced a different cultivation system and employed unique tracking techniques.

Hence, eradicating all traces of tracking was exceedingly difficult, even for a top-tier Supreme.

Yet, in the Chaos, to ensure one's own safety and that of their realm, one must learn how to cleanse any potential tracking traces.

While other Supremes might find it difficult or impossible to remove these traces, Lin Fei was different.

For him, this task was surprisingly simple and effortless, all due to one reason: Lin Fei possessed the Eternal Realm!

Once transformed into the Eternal Realm, it could detect any trace of tracking, or rather, any power not belonging to oneself.

It could even assist the Azure Emperor Supreme and the Black Tortoise Supreme in purging their traces.

"Azure Emperor Supreme, Black Tortoise Supreme, please enter my Eternal Realm," Lin Fei invited. "Once inside, if there are any tracking methods or residual powers from other Supremes on you, the Eternal Realm will surely detect them. Under its power, all will be purged. No Supreme will be able to trace us or locate the Divine Realm."

The Azure Emperor Supreme and the Black Tortoise Supreme nodded in agreement: "Very well, we trust you, Martial Ancestor Lin!"

With no resistance, both Supremes were enveloped into the Eternal Realm by Lin Fei.

Within the Eternal Realm, Lin Fei immediately detected residual methods left by other Supremes on himself, the Azure Emperor Supreme and the Black Tortoise Supreme were similarly affected, all bearing marks of tracking and power.

However mysterious or hidden these tracking methods or powers were, Under the scope of the Eternal Realm, nothing could remain hidden.

Lin Fei used the power of the Eternal Realm and eradicated all traces.

"Azure Emperor Supreme, Black Tortoise Supreme, we can now return to the Divine Realm."

Thus, the Azure Emperor Supreme, the Black Tortoise Supreme, and Lin Fei, finally set their course back toward the Divine Realm.

642. Return to the Divine Realm! Attempting to Merge with the Realm's Prototype

"Sigh... we've finally returned."

"Ha ha, what a thrilling adventure this time!"

"Usually, when we traverse the Chaos, we tread cautiously, fearing we might provoke someone or stir up trouble. But this time? We clashed with dozens of Supremes and boldly snatched the realm's prototype right in front of them."

"Now those Supremes must be utterly dumbfounded. Even their secret tracking methods were cleanly shattered by Martial Ancestor Lin, leaving not a trace behind."

Upon returning to the Divine Realm, the Black Tortoise Supreme began to praise. It wasn't really flattery for it was indeed the truth. And truly, he felt exhilarated.

The other six Supremes also widened their eyes, Even feeling some regret for not having followed Lin Fei and the others into the Chaos, missing witnessing that spectacle.

It was quite a pity.

Lin Fei shook his head slightly and said, "It's not as exaggerated as you think. We just caught them off guard this time. The Supremes of the Chaos have various methods. My descent of the Illusory Realm isn't as powerful as you think. Some Supremes actually recovered in an instant, they merely pretended to be subdued by the Illusory Realm."

Lin Fei's words surprised both the Black Tortoise Supreme and the Azure Emperor Supreme. They hadn't expected there to be such deeply concealed Supremes.

Indeed, the vast Chaos should never be underestimated. Otherwise, one might not even know how they died.

The Chaos is perilously dangerous. One must be extremely cautious!

However, thankfully, this mission could be considered a complete success. Lin Fei and the others had been gone for nearly six to seven months, but they had acquired the realm's prototype. This was an item of infinite potential.

Of course, only Lin Fei could harness the full power of the realm's prototype.

"Fellow Supremes, I must now enter seclusion. Once the realm's prototype is removed from its place of origin, it might cease its transformation. If the realm's prototype stops transforming, then our effort in seizing it would have been meaningless. Therefore, I must seclude myself and ponder over this matter. If the Dark Demon Domain rises again, you may awaken me."

With these words, Lin Fei proceeded to his seclusion. He was well aware of the importance of this seclusion, thus, he specifically made it clear to the Azure Emperor Supreme and the others.

Unless it was the resurgence of the Dark Demon Domain, all other matters were trivial and should not disturb him.

Lin Fei swiftly entered the chamber, And with a mere thought, his consciousness plunged into the Eternal Realm.

Inside, a realm's prototype was present, actively resisting the Eternal Realm.

Indeed, it was a confrontation.

Lin Fei's Eternal Realm had merely "swallowed" the realm's prototype, but had not yet merged with it.

Merging was far from a simple task, rather, it was exceedingly challenging.

After all, the realm's prototype held the potential to evolve into a complete realm.

And Lin Fei's Eternal Realm?

It was merely at the True Monarch level, above which lay the True Immortal level worlds, and only above that, the realm that could live in the Chaos.

Thus, Lin Fei's Eternal Realm was significantly inferior to a full realm. For the Eternal Realm to fully absorb the realm's prototype was like a snake swallowing an elephant—Potentially choking in the attempt.

It was uncertain whether, upon merging, the realm's prototype or the Eternal Realm would dominate.

Lin Fei naturally favored dominance by the Eternal Realm, as he could control it. If the realm's prototype were to dominate, Lin Fei might lose control over the Eternal Realm.

Moreover, if after merging the realm's prototype took precedence, it would be akin to Lin Fei being consumed by it—A loss too great to justify.

Thus, a solution was needed to flawlessly merge the realm's prototype under the dominion of the Eternal Realm.

Lin Fei quietly observed the realm's prototype. This prototype was isolated by the Eternal Realm in a vast space, suppressed.

The realm's prototype was non-aggressive, but since being moved from its birthplace, it had begun to shrink, its essence weakening daily.

Furthermore, Lin Fei could no longer feel any life force gestating within it. In other words, the realm's prototype was gradually "dying."

Given this trend, it wouldn't be long before the prototype was rendered useless. Let alone evolve into a true realm. That was simply impossible.

"I cannot let the realm's prototype continue to deteriorate. It must be merged. And the Eternal Realm must dominate. Merging all aspects of the realm's prototype is unwise.

Then, can I merge only the core of the realm's prototype? That is, the core that might allow the realm's prototype to slowly transform into a full realm? That is the key!"

Lin Fei's mind flickered with countless flashes of insight.

What exactly was at the core of the realm's prototype?

After some thought, Lin Fei prepared to dissect the realm's prototype. Using the power of the Eternal Realm, he began to forcibly suppress the prototype, gradually separating it part by part.

"Start with the outer layer. These outer layers are merely the attached forces of the realm's prototype and actually play no role in its potential to form a complete realm."

Lin Fei detached the external forces of the realm's prototype,

Instantly, the prototype shrank by eighty percent!

Only twenty percent remained.

This was approximately the core of the realm's prototype. With a gentle touch of his consciousness,

"Boom."

Lin Fei felt that the realm's prototype was incredibly chaotic.

Various laws, rules, and primal sources were in disarray.

However, deep within the realm's prototype, there seemed to be a peculiar force.

It had "vitality," the key element allowing the realm's prototype to continually evolve.

Upon closer inspection, it appeared as a small, pitch-black hole, seemingly absorbing external forces endlessly, and transforming them into new energy, continuously sustaining the core of the realm's prototype.

"Is this black hole the core of the realm's prototype?"

Lin Fei furrowed his brow. He was uncertain. But even if he swallowed the core of the realm's prototype, could he truly gain complete control?

That was not guaranteed! Unpredictable issues might arise.

Yet, under the current circumstances, how could he not take a risk?

Relying on the Eternal Realm to evolve on its own, even with a tenfold acceleration in time, how long would it take to evolve into a True Immortal level world?

As for becoming a realm? That had never even been considered.

Therefore, after much deliberation, and weighing his options for a long time, Lin Fei finally made a decision.

"No matter what, I have to try. I can suppress even the realm's prototype. Why not its core? If there's any unusual force, I can immediately remove it. My Eternal Realm is completely under my control; any issue can be resolved immediately! So, I must swallow the core of the realm's prototype and see."

After much contemplation, Lin Fei made up his mind. That was to give it a try! With this thought, he hesitated no longer.

"Realm's prototype, open up!"

With a thought from Lin Fei, the power of the Eternal Realm immediately descended upon the realm's prototype.

"Crack."

Finally, the realm's prototype fractured!

643. Merging with the Core of the Realm, Transformation Begins!

The realm's prototype was inherently fragile. Under the pressure exerted by Lin Fei's Eternal Realm, it quickly cracked open.

As the realm's prototype fractured, its terrifying power surged forth tumultuously. Even Lin Fei's Eternal Realm was shaken.

However, this power seemed to weaken rapidly and could not sustain itself. Thus, the Eternal Realm steadied itself.

Once the realm's prototype shattered, all external forces began to dissipate swiftly. There was no turning back now. There was only moving forward, no retreat allowed. Success was the only option, For if it failed, there was no second realm's prototype for Lin Fei to attempt with.

With no way back, Lin Fei's resolve only strengthened.

"Continue."

Lin Fei kept breaking apart the realm's prototype. Gradually, it kept shrinking until it finally revealed a pitch-black hole, seemingly devouring power from all directions, capable of absorbing all forms of energy.

"Black hole..."

Lin Fei didn't know the function of this black hole, but it seemed to be the core of the realm's prototype. Whether this black hole could transform Lin Fei's Eternal Realm into a realm, he had to find out for himself.

"Merge!"

Lin Fei did not ponder for long, as there was no time to hesitate. Deprived of power, the black hole became unstable, seemingly on the verge of collapse.

Should it collapse, it would dissipate completely, and the realm's prototype would be lost. Thus, Lin Fei's Eternal Realm swept towards the black hole.

"Hum."

The Eternal Realm enveloped the black hole, immediately causing intense fluctuations within.

"Boom."

The black hole began to absorb all sorts of forces—laws, rules, life, and more, seemingly devouring everything.

"This isn't right; if this continues, the Eternal Realm will collapse!"

Lin Fei furrowed his brow. He felt that the black hole didn't function this way within the realm's prototype.

In the realm's prototype, the black hole did devour. But after devouring, it transformed the energy into another type of force. A force that sustained the entire realm's prototype, even allowing it to continue evolving and transforming into a true realm, not just mindlessly consuming everything without producing special power.

"Is the method incorrect? Or is this just the nature of the black hole?"

Lin Fei pondered, his brow creased in thought. For now, the Eternal Realm could still endure for a considerable period, so there was no need for immediate panic.

"I'll try the World Origin!"

Lin Fei gritted his teeth. The World's Origin is the core of any world. Without it, everything else is meaningless, and the world itself would cease to exist.

Thus, Lin Fei would not resort to using the World Origin unless absolutely necessary—after all, it was the heart of the Eternal Realm.

But now, he had to attempt it; otherwise, all his previous efforts would be in vain.

Lin Fei then mobilized a portion of the Eternal Realm's original power, channeling it into the black hole.

"Boom."

The black hole trembled slightly, causing even the entire Eternal Realm to quake. Immediately after, Lin Fei could clearly feel that something was transforming within the black hole, and it seemed to be nurturing something.

"Could it be successful?"

Lin Fei's eyes widened. He held his breath and focused intently on the black hole. The black hole seemed to be continuously nurturing. It was unclear how much time had passed, but finally, the black hole began to operate again.

Simultaneously, Lin Fei's consciousness seemed to form a connection with the black hole. It appeared that after the black hole had absorbed Lin Fei's origin, it naturally became a part of the Eternal Realm.

Lin Fei could now control the black hole.

"Indeed, the black hole is the core of the realm's prototype. This black hole should be called the Realm Core! The previous realm's prototype formed gradually because of this black hole. To evolve into a realm, the Realm Core is necessary. The Realm Core seems to form naturally and can only form within the Chaos. Without a Realm Core, even a True Immortal-level world could never transform into a realm."

Lin Fei finally understood.

That's why the Ancient Continent, despite its lengthy existence and the emergence of True Immortals and Martial Ancestors, had never evolved into a realm.

It was because it lacked a Realm Core. And the Realm Core can only form within the Chaos, under obscure and stringent conditions. Once a Realm Core is born, if there are no accidents, it will gradually develop into a complete realm!

Now, Lin Fei was in a similar situation. He had fortuitously acquired the realm's prototype and obtained the Realm Core within it. He had completely integrated it into the Eternal Realm, and through the World Origin, he had fully merged and taken control of the Realm Core.

It was akin to the heart of a human body. Lin Fei, through the World Origin, had turned the Realm Core into the "heart" of the Eternal Realm.

"Seal."

Now that Lin Fei understood the function of the Realm Core, he willed it and immediately moved the Realm Core into the Sea of Origin within the Eternal Realm.

"Boom."

The void itself trembled violently. The entire Eternal Realm was also shaking intensely.

The Realm Core could only digest the World Origin. Only by absorbing the World's Origin could it transform and produce a unique power that would allow the world to continue evolving.

For instance, Lin Fei's Eternal Realm was at the True Monarch level. If it is endowed with a Realm Core continuously converting into unique realm powers, it would be akin to slowly transforming a True Monarch-level world.

Practically without any bottleneck, it could swiftly be transformed into a True Immortal-level world. And then continue transforming, eventually becoming a realm!

Such is the terrifying nature of the Realm Core. Or rather, this is the true function of the Realm Core.

Lin Fei no longer needed to search for any essences of flesh and blood. It was pointless. He only needed the World Origin.

However, Lin Fei's Eternal Realm didn't have much World Origin. Unless he went to the Chaos, where the Chaos Qi, to some extent, could substitute for the World Origin.

The Chaos Qi, unusable by even Supremes, could be absorbed by the Realm Core and slowly transformed into realm power.

Of course, this transformation was extremely slow. Otherwise, the realm's prototype wouldn't need such a long time to evolve into a true realm.

There was another method, the most direct and fastest method: Directly plundering the World Origin of other worlds.

Then, as the Realm Core continuously devoured the World Origin, it could incessantly convert it into realm power, thus quickly transforming Lin Fei's Eternal Realm.

"World Origin, I need a vast amount of World Origin! Otherwise, how many years would it take just by undergoing arduous cultivation in the Chaos? A thousand years? Ten thousand years? Or even a hundred thousand, a million years? With the threat of the Dark Demon Domain, I can't wait! The Divine Realm also can't wait!"

Lin Fei murmured in a low voice, a sharp gleam flickering in his eyes.

It was pointless to endure arduous cultivation in the Chaos. There was no sense in it. He had already delayed almost ten months.

It had also been about ten months since the Dark Demon Domain had ceased its advance, nearly a year. Who knew what the Dark Demon Lord was brewing?

Or perhaps, if the Dark Demon Lord had left the Divine Realm and returned to the Dark Demon Domain, who knew when he would return?

Once the Dark Demon Lord returned to the Divine Realm, it was unquestionable. The Dark Demon Lord would certainly have a way to deal with Lin Fei.

Then, if Lin Fei's strength had not undergone a qualitative transformation, it would be very dangerous. Thus, Lin Fei had to rapidly enhance his power, even if it meant at all costs!

Lin Fei immediately rose and left the chamber. The matter of collecting a vast amount of World Origin, He still had to discuss with the Azure Emperor Supreme and the other eight Supremes.

644. The Dark Demon Lord's Treasure, the Sphere of Demonic Clouds

Lin Fei left the chamber and found the Azure Emperor Supreme.

"Lin Fei, you've emerged from seclusion so soon?"

The Azure Emperor Supreme was surprised. He observed that Lin Fei's aura didn't seem much stronger, and such a short period in seclusion likely meant minimal gains.

"Was the seclusion not effective? Did it fail?" Failure in cultivation was common, and the Azure Emperor Supreme himself had many such experiences.

Lin Fei nodded and replied, "Azure Emperor Supreme, my seclusion has indeed ended. I've nearly fully researched and integrated the realm's prototype.

My Eternal Realm hasn't transformed yet, but now there's a clear direction forward. I even have the confidence to eventually evolve the Eternal Realm into a realm.

However, I'm missing some key resources. With those resources, I can transform the Eternal Realm."

"What resources do you need?"

"World Origin, a substantial amount of World Origin!" Lin Fei articulated each word distinctly.

"World Origin?" The Azure Emperor Supreme's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise before he slightly relaxed.

"If it's just World Origin you need, then we eight Supremes can mobilize our forces to gather it for you. Even if it's World Origin from True Monarch-level worlds, we can collect it for you. Furthermore, we could sweep through the entire Divine Realm to continuously obtain World Origin."

The Azure Emperor Supreme immediately decided and even had a plan to sweep the worlds within the Divine Realm. There are many worlds in the Divine Realm, especially minor worlds, as numerous as the sands of the Ganges, and the Divine Realm is still birthing new small worlds. So, if it's just World Origin, the Azure Emperor Supreme could provide it.

"Thank you, Azure Emperor Supreme, and all the other Supremes," Lin Fei said.

"World Origin, whether it's from True Immortal-level worlds, True Monarch-level worlds, or even minor worlds, all are acceptable. As long as there is World Origin, my Eternal Realm will definitely transform!

Even once the Eternal Realm evolves to a True Immortal-level world, even if the Dark Demon Lord returns or has treasures from the Dark Demon Domain, they won't be able to affect me!"

Lin Fei left something unsaid: If his Eternal Realm truly evolved into a True Immortal-level world, he could even overpower any Supreme, including the Dark Demon Lord. Then, the invasion from the Dark Demon Domain would not be sustainable.

Thus, World Origin is crucial for Lin Fei at this moment and even for the entire Divine Realm.

"I understand," said the Azure Emperor Supreme. "Lin Fei, rest assured. World Origin will continuously be delivered to your hands. You can just quietly wait in Ancient City."

Lin Fei nodded, then turned and left the Ancient Covenant. Next, Lin Fei waited quietly in Ancient City, and indeed, the Azure Emperor Supreme did not disappoint him.

The next day, Lin Fei began receiving World Origin. Though the quantities were initially small, they indeed were what he needed. And this was just the beginning. Over the following days—the third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and beyond—massive amounts of World Origin were delivered to Lin Fei daily.

Lin Fei directly funneled all the World's Origins into the Realm Core. Transformed by the Realm Core, it became realm power, swiftly elevating the level of Lin Fei's Eternal Realm.

Initially, Lin Fei's world was already at the True Monarch level, yet his progress was at a standstill—0%. But now, Lin Fei's Eternal Realm was finally progressing again—1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%...

The perpetual increase was evident and occurred almost daily.

Lin Fei could distinctly feel his power growing by the day. Once his Eternal Realm transformed into a True Immortal-level world, Lin Fei believed even the Dark Demon Lord, without relying on the Illusory Realm, would be no match for him. Still, this transformation required time...

Far away in the Dark Demon Domain, the Dark Demon Lord stood in the void. In the Dark Demon Domain, he was the absolute ruler, controlling the life and death of anyone, even Supremes.

Yet, at this moment, the Dark Demon Lord's expression was gravely serious. He was retrieving a treasure—a phenomenal treasure essential for conquering the Divine Realm. Now, he had to take a slight risk.

Deep in a massive valley, there lay a giant multicolored sphere, bound by thick chains. Upon closer inspection, these chains were formed from the rules and laws of the Dark Demon Domain itself, securely locking the sphere. Only the Dark Demon Lord had such capabilities.

After all, in the Dark Demon Domain, he was the supreme ruler capable of easily suppressing any Supreme. Even here, the Dark Demon Lord's power was above all others.

Gazing at the multicolored sphere, the Dark Demon Lord's expression hardened, his eyes flashing with resolve. He coldly stated, "I refuse to believe that in the Dark Demon Domain, you can still turn the tides."

"Ha! In the Dark Demon Domain, no matter the challenge, I can handle it! To deal with the Divine Realm, particularly that Lin Fei, I must control the Sphere of Demonic Clouds... It is said that the Sphere of Demonic Clouds can seal all powers. All forces beneath domination will be completely sealed."

The Dark Demon Lord took a deep breath, contemplating the Sphere of Demonic Clouds. Asserting that it could seal all powers below dominion might have been a bit absolute, but the formidable nature of the Sphere was truly terrifying.

Under normal circumstances, the Dark Demon Lord would not need to rush; he could slowly understand and master the Sphere of Demonic Clouds.

However, the current situation in the Divine Realm was increasingly disadvantageous for the Dark Demon Domain. If things continued this way, he might not master the Sphere before the forces of the Dark Demon Domain were pushed back to their own realm.

The Dark Demon Lord could not allow this to happen, especially since this invasion of the Divine Realm had consumed considerable resources and effort. It wasn't something he could simply abandon.

Despite some instability factors, the Dark Demon Lord felt confident. As long as he was within the Dark Demon Domain, he believed everything was under his control.

The Sphere of Demonic Clouds, a serendipitous discovery during his reign, was considered one of his strokes of luck.

The Sphere was renowned in the Chaos; it was said to be one of the treasures birthed within the Chaos itself and was even rumored to exist in multiple instances across the Chaos. Once obtained, it could rapidly and immensely bolster one's strength.

Dark Demon Lord felt that to confront the Divine Realm and Lin Fei, the Sphere of Demonic Clouds needed to be employed.

"Let's begin," the Dark Demon Lord muttered to himself as he took another deep breath.

"Open!"

In the next instant, an immense force of laws descended like a sharp, massive saber, striking fiercely upon the Sphere of Demonic Clouds.

"Boom."

The Sphere trembled violently, releasing a terrifying power seemingly related to the Chaos, continuously eroding the laws and rules of the Dark Demon Domain.

Seizing the moment, the Dark Demon Lord immersed his consciousness into the Sphere of Demonic Clouds, aiming to gain control over it through his will. When his consciousness penetrated the Sphere, "What is this..."

Suddenly, the Dark Demon Lord's eyes widened in disbelief at the scene unfolding before him. What did he see that could shake even the Ruler of the Dark Demon Domain to his core?

645. Eternal Realm Transforms Again, True Immortal-level World!

The Dark Demon Lord was profoundly shaken. His mind immersed within the Sphere of Demonic Clouds, he discovered something unexpected—water! But not just any water, this was Chaos Heavy Water.

Normally, the Chaos was filled with chaotic energies, not water. However, under certain conditions, when chaotic energies continuously condense, influenced by the right environmental factors and over extended periods, they could merge together with Chaos's inherent rules to form a special kind of water—Chaos Heavy Water.

This type of water was exceedingly rare, often taking ages to form even a single drop. Yet, within the Sphere of Demonic Clouds, it was like a raging river, tumultuous with Chaos Heavy Water. Gaining control over the Sphere of Demonic Clouds essentially meant mastering this vast reservoir of Chaos Heavy Water.

Under the influence of this water, even a casual strike from the Sphere could be unbearable for ordinary Supremes.

Moreover, Chaos Heavy Water also had the ability to seal powers. Almost no Supreme below the level of dominion could break through the seal of Chaos Heavy Water.

Thus, the Dark Demon Lord was ecstatic. "Hahaha, the heavens are indeed aiding me! Who would have thought that within the Sphere of Demonic Clouds, there would be such an abundance of Chaos Heavy Water?

With so much of it, I can traverse the Chaos with authority. With the Sphere of Demonic Clouds, even outside the Dark Demon Domain, I can wield power almost comparable to a dominion!"

The Dark Demon Lord was acutely aware of what this meant. In the Chaos or other realms, being able to exert dominion-like power was a quantum leap.

This development meant that future invasions of other realms by the Dark Demon Lord or the Dark Demon Domain could be undertaken with ease. There would be no need for protracted campaigns; a direct intervention by the Dark Demon Lord himself would suffice to conquer other realms.

Elated beyond measure, the Dark Demon Lord now held the Sphere of Demonic Clouds. What did the mere Divine Realm amount to now?

"This time, Lin Fei is undoubtedly doomed!" he thought. "And the Divine Realm will be completely overtaken by the Dark Demon Domain! Once we occupy the Divine Realm, it will certainly elevate the Dark Demon Domain to greater heights!"

A glint of cunning flashed in the Dark Demon Lord's eyes. With the Sphere of Demonic Clouds in hand, he left the Dark Demon Domain and headed straight for the Divine Realm.

A year had passed in the Divine Realm, a rare period of outward calm, particularly from the perspective of the Dark Demon Domain.

However, internally, the Divine Realm was anything but peaceful. Every force within the Divine Realm was frantically searching for minor worlds.

This relentless pursuit of World Origin lasted the entire year, with all collected resources being funneled to Ancient City.

Many had already surmised that the one in need of this World Origin must be Lin Fei, the Martial Ancestor, now the sole hope of the Divine Realm.

The entire realm was prepared to provide whatever Lin Fei needed, no matter the cost.

Inside his chamber in Ancient City, Lin Fei continuously fed the incoming World Origin into the Realm Core of his Eternal Realm.

This World Origin, transformed into realm power by the Core, was incessantly remodeling Lin Fei's Eternal Realm, or rather, elevating it.

Now, after a year of uninterrupted supply thanks to the efforts of the Azure Emperor Supreme and others who had delivered substantial amounts of World Origin, Lin Fei's Eternal Realm was on the verge of a significant transformation.

The progress was evident: 91%, 93%, 95%, 97%, 99%...

Despite nearing completion, Lin Fei remained composed, his mind as still as water. This transformation felt natural to him; ever since he had acquired the Realm Core, he knew that this evolution was inevitable.

No essences of flesh, no growth of sentient life, and no need for powerful life forms within the Eternal Realm were necessary any longer. With the Realm Core, nothing else mattered.

As long as the Realm Core could continue converting World Origin into realm power, the Eternal Realm would keep advancing, never stopping until it reached the status of a realm.

Finally, the moment arrived—Lin Fei's Eternal Realm began to expand wildly. It grew tenfold, a hundredfold, a thousandfold, even ten thousandfold—expanding thousands of times over because it had transformed. It was no longer a True Monarch-level world but had become a True Immortal-level world!

A True Immortal-level world is a powerful domain capable of birthing True Immortals and Martial Ancestors, akin to the legendary Ancient World, another True Immortal-level world.

Compared to the countless minor worlds and the significantly fewer True Monarch-level worlds, True Immortal-level worlds are extremely rare, numbering less than ten across the entire Divine Realm.

The transformation of Lin Fei's Eternal Realm continued, signaling that while it had reached a new echelon of power, the evolution was far from over.

This was not just a change; it was a qualitative leap, setting Lin Fei on a path that could potentially alter the balance of power not just in the Divine Realm, but across multiple realms.

Lin Fei suddenly opened his eyes, his mind buzzing with anticipation and questions about his current status. With the Eternal Realm having transformed into a True Immortal-level world and his power potentially increasing tenfold or even a hundredfold compared to before, he was not merely on a different level—he was on an entirely different plane.

Host: Lin Fei

Martial Realm: Martial Ancestor

World Level: True Immortal-level World (Progress 1%)

Illusory Realm: Supreme Level

Seeing his world level now marked as a True Immortal-level world and the progress already at 1%, Lin Fei understood that his Eternal Realm was still advancing, still transforming as long as it received World Origin.

However, achieving further progress would require significantly more World Origin. Martial realm remained at Martial Ancestor, which meant that despite his enormous power, he was not yet considered a Supreme.

"Could it be that I only attain the Supreme status once the Eternal Realm evolves into a realm?" Lin Fei mused softly to himself. He was nearly certain that was the case. Only the transformation of his world into a realm could elevate him to Supreme status.

But for now, Lin Fei felt an overwhelming surge in his power. He was confident that even if the Azure Emperor Supreme and the other eight Supremes joined forces, they would struggle to defeat him, especially since he no longer needed to rely on the power of the Illusory Realm.

Just the force of his Eternal Realm was enough to slay a typical Supreme—and even the Dark Demon Lord should they meet again.

However, Lin Fei was in no rush. With the Realm Core still in his possession, he could continue to ascend. If the Dark Demon Domain remained quiet, all the better.

That would allow Lin Fei the time to gradually evolve his Eternal Realm into a full realm, achieving true Supreme status. Once he reached that level, what threat could the Dark Demon Domain pose?

Lin Fei alone could then easily sweep through the Dark Demon life forms without needing any help.

The leap from a True Immortal-level world to a realm was a qualitative one, requiring unimaginable amounts of World Origin and potentially a very long time. Time was precisely what Lin Fei lacked the most.

"I hope the Dark Demon Lord will grant me more time..." he murmured, before closing his eyes again to continue absorbing World Origin and reshaping his Eternal Realm.

646. The Return of the Dark Demon Lord!

In the Yin-Yang Immortal Domain, the stronghold of the Dark Demon Domain, times were tough. The forces of the Dark Demon Domain had been confined to the Yin-Yang Immortal Domain, daring not to expand due to the pressure from the Divine Realm.

Many cultivators from the Divine Realm had even ventured into the Yin-Yang Immortal Domain from time to time, causing conflicts with the Dark Demons—and the results were mostly unfavorable for the latter.

The Supremes of the Dark Demon Domain had issued a stern command—endure. As long as they could bear the pressure, the Divine Realm would not dare to launch a major assault, primarily because the forces of the Divine Realm were also unsure about the current state of the Dark Demon Domain and were unaware that the Dark Demon Lord had returned.

However, the Dark Demons had been waiting patiently, hoping for the expansion that would only be possible upon the Dark Demon Lord's return.

Time dragged on—years passed, and there was no sign of him.

Many within the Dark Demon Domain began to worry. Could it be that the Dark Demon Lord had failed to find a way to counter the Divine Realm and Lin Fei, the Martial Ancestor, who had become their biggest adversary?

Lin Fei's presence had essentially paralyzed the Dark Demon Domain's ability to operate freely, confining them to the Yin-Yang Immortal Domain.

"Has the Ruler Lord not returned yet? We've been waiting so long, could something have gone wrong? Those people from the Divine Realm are detestable! True Immortals and Martial Ancestors daring to provoke us in the Yin-Yang Immortal Domain? In the past, I would have torn them apart, but now..."

Many of the Dark Demon Domain's powerhouses were holding back their anger, a fire building within that they couldn't vent. They had come to conquer the Divine Realm but now found themselves hiding and even unable to retaliate against provocations from Divine Realm cultivators. This situation frustrated every Dark Demon, but they were restrained by the commands of their Supremes.

Normally, their belligerence would have pleased the Dark Demon Supremes—it showed their willingness to fight. But under the current circumstances, it was a time for patience, and the continuing strain was nearly at breaking point.

"Only the return of our Ruler Lord can resolve this mess..." murmured the Supreme Yuan Mo softly.

Suddenly, a familiar voice echoed, lifting the spirits of everyone present.

"Why the long faces? High spirits, that's good! From now on, you no longer need to hold back. There will be plenty of opportunities for you to fully vent your anger."

At the sound of this familiar voice, the faces of Original Demon and the other Dark Demon Supremes lit up with surprise and joy.

"Your Majesty?"

With a whoosh, as the voice fell, the Dark Demon Lord stepped out from the void, appearing before everyone.

As the Dark Demon Lord appeared, all present, including the Supremes, respectfully bowed in his presence, invigorated by his return.

The presence of the Dark Demon Lord meant that their days of forced restraint were over, and they could now engage in battle with the cultivators of the Divine Realm with confidence. The Dark Demons had never feared warfare.

"Rise," the Dark Demon Lord commanded. "I have returned to the Divine Realm with a method to deal with Lin Fei, the Martial Ancestor of the Divine Realm. Once Lin Fei is dealt with, there will be no one and nothing in the Divine Realm that can stop us."

With the return of their leader filled with such confidence, the mood among the dark forces was jubilant.

"At last, it's time to counterattack," exclaimed one of the dark beings.

"When do we begin the counterattack, Lord?" another asked eagerly. "I can hardly wait."

"The Divine Realm has only eight Supremes; even with Lin Fei, that makes nine. They are insignificant," sneered another. "We can completely occupy the Divine Realm within a year!"

The confidence among the Dark Demons was palpable; their faith in the Dark Demon Lord was unshakeable.

In the Dark Demon Domain, he stood unchallenged, his words taken as gospel. If he declared that Lin Fei could be dealt with, then they believed it without a doubt.

Without Lin Fei, what use would the remaining eight Supremes of the Divine Realm be?

"It's a dead end for them! This time, we will bring some surprises to the Divine Realm. We will turn our passivity into aggression. Isn't Lin Fei, along with most of the Supremes, in Ancient City?" he mused coldly. "This time, all our Supremes will move out together to Ancient City. We will obliterate Ancient City right in front of Lin Fei and then slay him. Let him die in despair!"

The Dark Demon Lord's eyes were cold and filled with murderous intent; he had never contemplated sparing Lin Fei. On the contrary, he wanted Lin Fei to die in utter despair to quench the hatred burning within him.

"Yes, your Majesty!" agreed the dozens of Dark Demon Domain Supremes respectfully.

"There's no time to delay; we depart now!" declared the Dark Demon Lord decisively, unwilling to procrastinate any further. Leading the group of Supremes, he tore through space, heading straight for Ancient City.

At that moment, Ancient City remained as tranquil as ever—peaceful, secure, and prosperous due to Lin Fei's influence. Now, virtually the hub of the Divine Realm, it teemed with activity.

Countless cultivators, whether martial or immortal cultivators, and even exotic beasts, had flocked to the city, making it somewhat congested.

Naturally, for the Azure Emperor Supreme, expanding the Ancient City was no difficult feat. Hence, no matter how many came, they would not truly congest the city.

However, due to Lin Fei's presence, Ancient City had indeed entered an era of unprecedented prosperity.

In Ancient City, many seemed to have forgotten that war ever existed. They appeared to have forgotten about the Dark Demon Domain and its ferocious demonic beings.

After all, it had been nearly two years since any disturbance emanated from that quarter. It seemed as if the Dark Demon Domain had completely fallen into silence.

Many cultivators had ceased to pay it any heed. Yet, some True Immortals and Martial Ancestors had not forgotten the threat of the Dark Demon Domain.

In particular, the dark beings still occupied the Yin-Yang Immortal Domain and maintained control over it.

The Supremes of the Divine Realm showed no intention of retaking the Yin-Yang Immortal Domain. From these observations, one might infer that this was merely the calm before the storm.

Currently, neither side could do anything to the other; they could only maintain the status quo. But once this balance was disrupted, war would inevitably ensue. It was uncertain, however, towards which side the balance would tip.

"Swoosh."

Suddenly, ripples of space appeared in the skies above Ancient City. Space ripples were not uncommon—True Immortals and Martial Ancestors frequently traversed space, and in Ancient City, such occurrences were hardly out of the ordinary.

Yet, these particular ripples, expanding in concentric circles like ripples on water, were extraordinary. Such commotion was certainly not the work of just one or two Martial Ancestors or True Immortals.

The number must have been considerable. Moreover, from these space ripples, a strange yet familiar aura was faintly discernible.

Some who had previously encountered Dark Demons in the Yin-Yang Immortal Domain and had battled them recognized this aura. Their faces changed dramatically in an instant.

"This is the aura of Dark Demonic life!"

"Could it be that the Dark Demons dare to come to Ancient City?"

"And on such a large scale, could it be that the Dark Demon Domain has finally made its move?"

For a moment, many True Immortals and Martial Ancestors gazed in shock at the void above Ancient City.

647. The Dark Demon Lord Descends Upon Ancient City! Lin Fei Emerges, Battle Erupts!

"Whoosh."

At that moment, the Azure Emperor Supreme and the other eight Supremes soared into the void. They sensed something amiss the instant spatial ripples appeared over Ancient City. With eyes narrowing slightly, their expressions grew stern.

"Swoosh."

Suddenly, a figure emerged from the void portal, followed by another, and then two, three, four, five... until dozens of figures had appeared. Each emanated an aura so formidable it was clear they were not mere beings but the Supreme lives from the pinnacle of the Dark Demon Domain.

"Dark Demon Lord!"

The Azure Emperor Supreme recognized the Dark Demon Lord at first glance. Having been silent for nearly two years, it was believed that the Dark Demon Lord had retreated to the Dark Demon Domain.

But now, he had returned, and not alone but with an army of Dark Realm Supremes. Clearly, his intentions were transparent—he aimed to obliterate Ancient City and all the Supremes within it.

Thus, the Azure Emperor Supreme immediately communicated telepathically with Lin Fei.

"I have returned," the Dark Demon Lord proclaimed loudly. "Azure Emperor Supreme, where is Lin Fei? Without him, you stand no chance against me."

The Dark Demon Lord stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping over all, showing a blatant disregard for anyone but Lin Fei. To him, only Lin Fei, the Martial Ancestor, was worthy of his attention.

The Azure Emperor Supreme's expression darkened as he responded coldly, "Dark Demon Lord, your aggressive approach to our Ancient City, is this a declaration of war? If it's the war you want, we are ready to oblige!"

The eight Supremes unleashed their own formidable auras, clashing violently in the void.

"Just you?" scoffed the Dark Demon Lord. "Not enough! Lin Fei, if you do not show yourself, I will begin a massacre, starting with the entire Ancient City!"

The Dark Demon Lord's voice boomed, echoing in all directions as he revealed his true demonic form, radiating a terrifying aura. He could easily destroy Ancient City, even with eight Supremes opposing him.

The Supremes looked solemn, aware that the Dark Demon Lord's threats were not idle. If he chose to, they truly could not stop him from annihilating Ancient City.

But at that moment, as the Dark Demon Lord's declaration hung in the air, a calm voice resounded through the void, "Dark Demon Lord, as you wished, Lin Fei has arrived!"

The next instant, Lin Fei's figure appeared below the Ancient City. Step by step, he ascended as if climbing an invisible staircase in the void, slowly making his way to confront the Dark Demon Lord.

Lin Fei, the Martial Ancestor, now stood face to face with the Dark Demon Lord. His demeanor was composed, showing not a trace of fear but a serene calm as he gazed steadily at the Dark Demon Lord.

"Ah, what a Martial Ancestor Lin Fei is. Even at such a time, he remains so composed. However, there's no need for you to bluster. You're well aware that since I have come, I undoubtedly possess the means to contend with you.

And in merely a year or two, how much could you possibly improve? You're not even a Supreme yet. I'll give you one last opportunity. Leave the Divine Realm, and I will let bygones be bygones!"

Surprisingly, the Dark Demon Lord was still offering Lin Fei a chance. This was certainly not a gesture of kindness from the Dark Demon Lord. He yearned to slay Lin Fei.

But he had to be rational. Perhaps Lin Fei also had his own cards to play, his own strategies. Even though the Dark Demon Lord was confident in the power of the Sphere of Demonic Clouds, with the probability of defeating or slaying Lin Fei exceeding ninety percent, it was not, after all, one hundred percent.

Lin Fei still possessed that minuscule, nearly insignificant possibility of turning the tables. If possible, the Dark Demon Lord did not wish to face even this sliver of risk. Not even this minuscule risk!

Thus, if Lin Fei would willingly depart from the Divine Realm, it would indeed be most favorable.

"Leave the Divine Realm?"

Lin Fei slightly shook his head. His gaze, fixed upon the Dark Demon Lord, turned icy: "Dark Demon Lord, make your move. If you lack the means to crush me, today might well not go as you wish. In fact, after today, you all will be driven out of the Divine Realm by me!"

Lin Fei was unapologetic.

"Illusory Realm!"

"Boom."

Suddenly, the Illusory Realm descended. Once the Illusory Realm had fallen, apart from the Dark Demon Lord, the other Supreme beings of the Dark Demon Domain could not withstand it. Naturally, it would only be a matter of a few breaths before these Supreme beings would awaken.

But, these few breaths were a moment of life and death. If no one stopped Lin Fei, who knows how many Supremes would perish.

Yet, Lin Fei did not move. He just stood there silently in the void. Without any disturbance, because his gaze was locked on the Dark Demon Lord. His Illusory Realm had no effect on the Dark Demon Lord.

The Dark Demon Lord was the key! Even Lin Fei could feel a faint sense of threat emanating from the Dark Demon Lord. This sense of threat was ever-present, clearly showing that the Dark Demon Lord was well-prepared this time.

"Again with such tactics? Indeed, a method capable of suppressing the spirits of Supremes is quite unique and magical. Sadly, you cannot suppress my spirit. And this time, I will surely kill you!"

A sharp gleam flashed in the eyes of the Dark Demon Lord. The next moment, the Dark Demon Lord made his move.

"Swoosh."

With a wave of his hand, a colorful orb of light, flew from the hand of the Dark Demon Lord, violently smashing towards Lin Fei.

"Sphere of Demonic Clouds, Seal!"

This was the Sphere of Demonic Clouds. After the Dark Demon Lord unleashed the Sphere of Demonic Clouds. Immediately, the Chaos Heavy Water within the orb began to release strands of sealing power.

The Chaos Heavy Water is not only exceedingly dense but possesses boundless strength. It hits its mark without fail, no matter the target. Even more dreadful is its sealing power. Once sealed, it becomes exceedingly difficult to struggle free.

Observing the Sphere of Demonic Clouds, a surge of peril heightened within the depths of Lin Fei's heart. He knew the Sphere of Demonic Clouds was no trivial matter, even capable of posing a threat to him now.

Consider, that Lin Fei was now of the True Immortal rank in the Eternal Realm. After reaching the True Immortal level world, his powers had increased by more than a hundredfold!

Moreover, as the essence of his world continued to accumulate, Lin Fei's Eternal Realm was still advancing.

As for the current extent of the Eternal Realm, even Lin Fei himself was unclear. The one certainty was that his Eternal Realm was now immensely powerful, so mighty that not even a Supreme could withstand a single blow from him.

However, facing the Sphere of Demonic Clouds, Lin Fei felt threatened. Without a moment's hesitation, he unleashed a punch.

"Boom."

Instantly, the void shattered. Even the laws and rules that governed this segment of the void were utterly obliterated.

With his current punch, Lin Fei could shatter any True Immortal-level world. Even the laws of the Divine Realm meant little.

Such a fearsome punch took the Dark Demon Lord by surprise. He could hardly believe it. How had Lin Fei become so formidable in just two years?

Yet, the Dark Demon Lord was also relieved. Fortunately, he had taken Lin Fei seriously, even daring to wield the Sphere of Demonic Clouds.

Otherwise, facing Lin Fei, whose strength had surged so dramatically, it wouldn't just be about contending with Lin Fei—even his own safety would be in jeopardy.

"Thank goodness for the Sphere of Demonic Clouds. Even if your strength has soared, as long as you haven't surpassed the Supreme level, or haven't reached the Ruler level, you are undoubtedly doomed!"

The Dark Demon Lord scoffed coldly. His gaze intensely fixed on the collision between Lin Fei and the Sphere of Demonic Clouds.

648. The Collision of the True Immortal Level Eternal Realm and the Chaos Heavy Water!

The sealing power of the Sphere of Demonic Clouds was truly terrifying, originating from the Chaos Heavy Water.

The Dark Demon Lord did not believe that any Supreme could contend with the Chaos Heavy Water. Perhaps only a Ruler within their own domain could block the Chaos Heavy Water.

But certainly not Lin Fei. Within the Divine Realm, no one could withstand the Chaos Heavy Water.

"Boom."

At last, Lin Fei's punch collided fiercely with the Sphere of Demonic Clouds. The Sphere of Demonic Clouds, containing a vast amount of Chaos Heavy Water, was inherently extremely heavy.

The strength it possessed was unimaginably immense. Not to mention its sealing power.

A faint glow emerged from within the Sphere of Demonic Clouds, falling directly onto Lin Fei.

Instantly, Lin Fei's whole body shook. But indeed, his punch had already struck the Sphere of Demonic Clouds.

"Crack."

In an instant, Lin Fei's bones seemed to fracture. But likewise, the Sphere of Demonic Clouds was smashed away.

"This power...a seal?"

Lin Fei struggled, struggling violently. He was indeed sealed. It seemed that all his strength could not be exerted, locked down by a mysterious force.

However, the Sphere of Demonic Clouds was also smashed away. As for Lin Fei's fractured bones, what of it?

In an instant, Lin Fei could recover.

"What, my Sphere of Demonic Clouds was smashed away?"

Seeing that Lin Fei had actually smashed the Sphere of Demonic Clouds away, the Dark Demon Lord was greatly startled. He knew all too well how terrifying the power of the Sphere of Demonic Clouds was. Even he, facing it head-on, unless he was in the Dark Demon Domain, could not withstand a single blow from the Sphere of Demonic Clouds.

Yet now, Lin Fei had directly, forcefully smashed away the Sphere of Demonic Clouds. This could only prove that Lin Fei's current strength had even surpassed that of the Dark Demon Lord.

Without the Sphere of Demonic Clouds, even the Dark Demon Lord would be in great danger.

"Fortunately, I made a decisive decision to control the Sphere of Demonic Clouds. In such a short time, Lin Fei could even smash the Sphere of Demonic Clouds, which is simply unbelievable.

Therefore, Lin Fei must not be allowed to remain! Fortunately, although Lin Fei's strength is strong, it seems that he was also sealed by the Chaos Heavy Water within it."

Seeing Lin Fei sealed, the Dark Demon Lord finally breathed a sigh of relief. If Lin Fei truly could not be thwarted even by the Sphere of Demonic Clouds, then the troubles of the Dark Demon Domain would be significant. Not to mention invading the Divine Realm, even the Dark Demon Domain might not be safe.

Thus, the Dark Demon Lord was now brimming with murderous intent. He even thought of paying any price to kill Lin Fei, to eliminate future troubles; to allow Lin Fei to continue growing would be truly too terrifying and too dangerous.

At this moment, Lin Fei remained motionless.

The binding power of the Chaos Heavy Water was indeed terrifying, rendering even Lin Fei completely immobile.

Yet, Lin Fei was not the least bit perturbed. Formidable though this binding force was, it was not his sole tactic. Or rather, it was not Lin Fei at his most formidable. Lin Fei's strongest state was always his transformation into the world itself!

Since Lin Fei could not move, he simply decided to transform into the world. He was curious to see whether this sphere could also bind his Eternal Realm.

After all, his Eternal Realm was now a True Immortal-level world. What terrifying force would be required to fully bind a True Immortal-level world?

"Eternal Realm!"

With a mere thought from Lin Fei, a rumble resounded, and the Eternal Realm was manifested. Lin Fei transformed directly, and his vast Eternal Realm began to expand continuously. Even under the suppression of the Chaos Heavy Water, Lin Fei's Eternal Realm still managed to spread unceasingly.

A buzz sounded, and for the first time, the binding force showed a hint of loosening. The Dark Demon Lord saw clearly as the Sphere of Demonic Clouds vibrated incessantly. Even the Chaos Heavy Water within the sphere trembled as if enduring immense pressure.

In the eyes of the Dark Demon Lord, Lin Fei's transformation into the world represented a colossal realm. As it expanded, the Sphere of Demonic Cloud's binding power was continuously suppressed.

"How is this possible?" he wondered aloud. "Lin Fei can resist the binding power of Chaos Heavy Water? Even his transformation into a world, amidst such vast quantities of Chaos Heavy Water, cannot be fully bound? What level of world is this?"

The Dark Demon Lord was astounded. If the binding power of Chaos Heavy Water could not confine any world, what could?

Yet, now the reality was evident. As Lin Fei's Eternal Realm spread, the Chaos Heavy Water within the Sphere of Demonic Clouds truly could not completely bind the Eternal Realm. Even the sphere itself vibrated violently, obviously enduring tremendous pressure.

A soft pop sounded after an unknown duration. Lin Fei felt his body relax. Subsequently, he no longer felt that sensation of being restrained or bound.

The Sphere of Demonic Cloud's binding power had vanished. Or rather, Lin Fei had already broken free from the sphere's confinement.

"Impossible..." The Dark Demon Lord's face twisted as he witnessed this scene, a look of astonishment flashing in his eyes. He seemed almost unable to believe it.

The Sphere of Demonic Clouds and the Chaos Heavy Water, upon which the Dark Demon Lord had pinned his hopes, truly could not bind Lin Fei.

Lin Fei had broken free from his shackles. What level of power must Lin Fei possess to break free from the binding of Chaos Heavy Water?

Ruler! Without a doubt, Lin Fei's power had now reached a level comparable to that of a Ruler, possessing such formidable strength wherever he went. Otherwise, the Chaos Heavy Water would have surely bound him.

The emergence of a Ruler meant something profound, and the Dark Demon Lord understood this well. Despite his disbelief, the Dark Demon Lord made a decisive command.

"Retreat!"

The Dark Demon Lord was resolute. He understood that it was no longer possible to slay Lin Fei. In fact, even his own safety was at risk. Thus, he promptly withdrew the Sphere of Demonic Clouds.

With a flicker of his figure, he then darted into the void, fleeing precipitously. Yes, he fled! None had anticipated that the Dark Demon Lord would flee.

At that moment, the supremes of the Dark Demon Domain widened their eyes in mutual astonishment, deeply shocked.

How could the illustrious Dark Demon Lord, the Ruler of the Dark Demon Domain, flee? Yet, this was the reality.

"Lord, how could he flee? Moreover, so hastily that he didn't even inform us?"

"Let's go, we must flee immediately. After all, if even the Lord has fled, there must be a reason, and we shouldn't stay here to die."

"Clearly, the Lord could not contend with Lin Fei. Even Lin Fei's power far exceeded his expectations, posing a severe threat to him, prompting him to flee at all costs."

Many supremes in the Dark Demon Domain quickly realized this. However, their escape would not be so easy. At least, Lin Fei would not let them go easily.

"Eternal Realm, gather!"

With a thought from Lin Fei, the Eternal Realm rapidly expanded, majestically sweeping across the area and violently enveloping dozens of the Dark Demon Domain's supremes within it.

Still, a few Supremes, the fastest among them, ultimately managed to escape, not being swept up by Lin Fei's Eternal Realm and finding their narrow escape.

But the remaining dozens of Supremes were not so fortunate, suppressed by Lin Fei's Eternal Realm!

649. With a Single Thought, Dozens of Supreme Beings Were Annihilated!

Dozens of Supremes from the Dark Demon Domain were utterly suppressed by Lin Fei's Eternal Realm. For a moment, the supremes of the Divine Realm, who witnessed all this, were overwhelmingly thrilled.

"Lin Fei suppressed dozens of supremes from the Dark Demon Domain?"

"Yes, absolutely true!"

"Not just dozens of Dark Demon Domain Supremes? Even the Dark Demon Lord himself was put to flight by Lin Fei."

"If I am not mistaken, the tactic used by the Dark Demon Lord just now was capable of slaying Supremes. Yet, it was to no avail against Lin Fei, who forced him to flee instead."

"Hmph, had the Dark Demon Lord not fled, he too would have been suppressed by Lin Fei!"

"How powerful has Lin Fei's Eternal Realm become? It seems our efforts in painstakingly gathering the essence of the world were not in vain."

"Hahaha, Lin Fei's strength now, though not yet a Ruler, must surely be close!"

The eight Supremes were overjoyed. Their discerning eyes could recognize the uniqueness of Lin Fei. Lin Fei's Eternal Realm seemed to have grown beyond their imagination.

Lin Fei alone defeated the Dark Demon Lord and suppressed dozens of supremes. Such strength was no ordinary feat; even top supremes could not achieve this. Only a Ruler. Only the ruler of a realm could possess such power.

At that moment, within the Eternal Realm, the dozens of Dark Demon Domain supremes were all suppressed by Lin Fei. These supremes knew what fate awaited them and thus roared in fury, each unleashing their skills in a desperate attempt to escape Lin Fei's Eternal Realm.

"What kind of world is this? Too terrifying; we can't even break out of this realm."

"They said Lin Fei could transform into a realm, but it was never this frightening before."

"We are dozens of supremes, yet now, we are utterly immobilized by Lin Fei's realm, completely unable to move."

"I even feel that if we dare to resist desperately, Lin Fei's realm could completely crush us!"

"Yes, I feel it too. It seems we are going to die..."

Suddenly, amidst their desperation, a familiar figure appeared before them—Lin Fei! The Martial Ancestor Lin Fei!

Though merely a Martial Ancestor from the Divine Realm and presumably not a supreme, it was he who defeated the Dark Demon Lord and suppressed the dozens of Dark Demon Domain supremes. A feat akin to a myth, yet a stark reality!

Lin Fei swept his gaze over them. He did not move to slay these high supremes, for he had his reasons.

Lin Fei spoke slowly, "I have not killed you, which you must have already surmised. Tell me, where is the Dark Demon Domain located? Or perhaps, escort me to the Dark Demon Domain. In due time, I will either release you into the Chaos or send you back to the Dark Demon Domain."

Lin Fei's words sent ripples of astonishment through the supremes of the Dark Demon Domain. Lin Fei was inquiring about the location of the Dark Demon Domain. What did this imply?

Everyone understood clearly. Once the location of the Dark Demon Domain was known, Lin Fei might seek it out and, even more, invade it just as it lives. Lin Fei was intent on retribution, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, refusing to suffer any disadvantage! Even if the Dark Demon Lord fled back to his realm, Lin Fei would pursue him.

However, the supremes, one after another, did not conceal the truth. Instead, they scoffed, "Lin Fei, even if we tell you the location of the Dark Demon Domain, you wouldn't dare go."

"Indeed, what harm is there in telling you?"

"As for the location of the Dark Demon Domain, we naturally won't hide it from you."

These supremes were so cooperative?

Not a single one intended to conceal the location of the Dark Demon Domain. Lin Fei's mind raced, and he instantly grasped their intention. These supremes even wished for Lin Fei to head immediately to the Dark Demon Domain.

The reason was straightforward. There was a Ruler in the Dark Demon Domain! Once a realm bore a Ruler, everything changed. Within the realm of a Ruler, the Ruler was invincible!

Should Lin Fei recklessly venture to the Dark Demon Domain, the Dark Demon Lord would undoubtedly teach him a severe lesson, even possibly slaying him.

This was also why the Dark Demon Lord had fled at the first opportunity. As long as he returned to the Dark Demon Domain, he would no longer fear Lin Fei. The Dark Demon Lord in his own realm was truly formidable.

"Ruler... I truly wish to see, what capabilities this so-called 'Ruler' truly has."

A sharp gleam flickered in Lin Fei's eyes. He had already experienced the strength of the Dark Demon Lord. Apart from that orb, the power of the Dark Demon Lord was, frankly, negligible to Lin Fei now.

But the Dark Demon Lord was a Ruler. If in the Dark Demon Domain, that changed everything. It was said that Lin Fei's current strength neared or even matched that of a Ruler.

But after all, he was not a true Ruler. Nor had Lin Fei battled a true Ruler before. Thus, how his strength compared to a Ruler remained unclear to all.

"I have no need for so many supremes," Lin Fei's eyes chilled.

With a mere thought, he fiercely summoned the power of the Eternal Realm. A grotesque squelch resounded. In the next moment, from all directions, a terrifying force began to crush them.

Previously, to slay a Supreme or to shatter a Supreme's true form was not so simple for Lin Fei. It required substantial power, often necessitating his utmost effort. But now, it was different.

With a single thought, merely by invoking the power of the Eternal Realm, it was outright domination. The true demonic forms of these Dark Demon Supremes shattered one after another, ground into dust and completely transformed into the flesh and essence of the Eternal Realm, absorbed wholly by it. In just a few breaths' time, dozens of supremes were reduced to merely three.

Yes, only three Dark Demon Domain supremes remained. Witnessing this, the trio was instantly enveloped in an icy chill, as if a bone-deep cold had seized them.

Dozens of Supremes, all dead. They hadn't even seen Lin Fei lift a finger, yet dozens of supremes had perished. The power of the Eternal Realm was beyond their wildest imaginations.

These were dozens of supremes!

The Dark Demon Domain had never faced such a colossal loss in its invasions of other realms. Lin Fei had nearly annihilated all the Supremes of the Dark Demon Domain who had invaded the Divine Realm. A clean sweep!

"Alright, only the three of you remain," Lin Fei declared. "Speak out of turn, and you will meet the same fate as them, executed without mercy!"

After speaking, Lin Fei's figure vanished in an instant. The presence within the Eternal Realm was merely a strand of Lin Fei's consciousness.

Now that he had achieved his goal, he no longer lingered, withdrawing his consciousness back. At this time, the eyes of the eight supremes also fell upon Lin Fei. Each of their gazes radiated shock and anticipation.

"Lin... Fellow Lin," they stammered. "The Supremes of the Dark Demon Domain, were they truly slain by you? With your own strength, you defeated the Dark Demon Lord and slew dozens of supremes. Are you sure you haven't become the Ruler of the Divine Realm?"

The Azure Emperor Supreme knew Lin Fei well. Yet, at this moment, he too seemed to scarcely believe the scene before his eyes.

650. Sweeping Away the Dark Demons!

Lin Fei shook his head and said, "I am not yet a Supreme. I remain merely a Martial Ancestor. However, since my Eternal Realm has transformed into a True Immortal-level world, it seems much stronger. Now, even an ordinary Supreme can be easily crushed. The Dark Demon Lord is no match for me in the Divine Realm."

The words of Lin Fei made the Azure Emperor Supreme and others nod slightly.

"Hahaha, then this is indeed great news. Our efforts to gather the essence of the world for you were indeed correct!" the Black Tortoise Supreme said with a laugh.

In fact, there was another important reason— the prototype of the realm. Without obtaining the realm's prototype, two years would not have allowed Lin Fei's Eternal Realm to transform. If it could not evolve into a True Immortal-level world, Lin Fei might not necessarily be a match for the Dark Demon Lord.

Thus, the realm prototype was also quite crucial.

"Lin Fei, are you truly intending to go to the Dark Demon Domain?" asked the Azure Emperor Supreme.

Indeed, Lin Fei had suppressed so many Dark Demon Domain Supremes without rushing to kill them, which led the Azure Emperor Supreme to speculate.

Lin Fei nodded and said, "I must visit the Dark Demon Domain! But rest assured, Azure Emperor Supreme, I will not recklessly venture into danger. I just want to know the exact location of the Dark Demon Domain.

As long as I know the specific location of the Dark Demon Domain, it poses a threat to the Dark Demon Lord. He cannot kill me outside, yet I can continue to grow. In time, even within the Dark Demon Domain, I will be able to slay him. Time is on my side, not on him."

"I must also make the Dark Demon Lord feel the constant threat looming over him," Lin Fei said with an icy tone, even filled with murderous intent. He had no fondness for the Dark Demon Lord. If possible, he wished to slay the Dark Demon Lord!

This visit to the Dark Demon Domain was also to see what it was truly like. If there was a chance, he would slay the Dark Demon Lord! If not, he would at least intimidate him.

"Before I go, I will first sweep away those Dark Demons from the Yin-Yang Immortal Realm," Lin Fei declared. He had never considered releasing those Dark Demons.

Moreover, Lin Fei's Eternal Realm also needed their flesh essence. Let the flesh essence of those Dark Demons nourish the life of the Eternal Realm.

With that, Lin Fei stepped forward, already traversing space, vanishing without a trace.

Yin-Yang Immortal Realm, Dark Demon stronghold.

At this moment, many Dark Demons were extremely excited. Even in secret, they were prepared. After all, they knew the Dark Demon Lord had returned. Soon, they would overcome the obstructive force of the Divine Realm. Then, they could embark on a killing spree, breaking free from the Yin-Yang Immortal Realm.

"I wonder if the Lord has dealt with Lin Fei and the Supremes of the Divine Realm yet?"

"This time, after the Lord returned to the Dark Demon Domain, he surely must have been fully confident in his ability to resolve the Divine Realm's Supremes. Just be patient a bit longer, perhaps news will arrive soon."

"Right, with the Lord leading the team, could dozens of supremes fail to handle the obstructive forces of the Divine Realm?"

"Just wait a little longer..."

When Lin Fei emerged from the spatial passageway, he saw the stronghold of the Dark Demon Domain still in peace, even preparing for further "invasions" into other parts of the Divine Realm. Each of the Dark Demons was brimming with combat fervor.

But what was the actual situation?

The Dark Demon Lord had been defeated, and dozens of supremes were slain by Lin Fei. This also indicated one thing—that the Dark Demon Lord had never returned to the stronghold. He hadn't even considered these Dark Demons important at all. He didn't care in the slightest, not even if they were all annihilated.

Hence, he had not informed these Dark Demons in advance, nor had he stayed; he had simply left the Divine Realm and returned to the Dark Demon Domain.

As a result, these Dark Demons were left without any news, still desperately waiting for the Dark Demon Lord's "triumphant return." But was that even possible?

Lin Fei shook his head slightly. Then, he flew over the stronghold.

"Halt, who are you?"

"It looks like Lin Fei from the Divine Realm!"

"What, him? But wasn't Lin Fei supposed to have been slain by our Ruler, who led the charge? How come Lin Fei is still appearing here?"

"Where is the Lord? And the other Supremes? Why hasn't there been any news? Could it be..."

Suddenly, many Dark Demons finally "awoke" to the reality. They seemed to realize something, their expressions filled with immense fear. They stared fixedly at Lin Fei.

"Lin Fei, where is our Lord of the Dark Demon Domain?"

"Do you mean the Dark Demon Lord? Perhaps the Dark Demon Lord, in his disgraceful flight from the Divine Realm, forgot to notify you.

Actually, it might not be that he forgot, but rather that he simply didn't care about you at all. You all have been abandoned by the Dark Demon Lord, turned into expendables!"

Lin Fei stated emphatically, each word striking with certainty.

Instantly, many of the Dark Demons seemed unable to believe their ears. Faces contorted in terror and anger, they yelled at Lin Fei, "No, it's impossible, absolutely impossible! How could our glorious Ruler be defeated by you, let alone flee?"

"Indeed, you must be trying to shake our resolve and confidence. You will not sway our faith!"

"When the Lord arrives, you will undoubtedly die!"

"The Divine Realm will surely be conquered by us!"

Looking at these Dark Demons, they simply did not believe it. Or perhaps, they did not want to believe it. Lin Fei could not be bothered to explain further.

He took a deep breath and with a thought, "Boom."

Suddenly, Lin Fei transformed into the Eternal Realm. The vast Eternal Realm expanded wildly in all directions.

Eventually, it even enveloped the entire Yin-Yang Immortal Realm. The Eternal Realm was like a "giant maw," swallowing the Yin-Yang Immortal Realm whole.

Meanwhile, the Dark Demons stared down the Eternal Realm as if facing a formidable enemy.

"Kill!"

The Dark Demons, sensing the threat, erupted with the power of Dark Demons, attempting to contend with Lin Fei's Eternal Realm to stop it from "sweeping" through the Yin-Yang Immortal Realm.

However, it was futile. Lin Fei's Eternal Realm, grand and overwhelming, crushed everything in its path. Any attempts to block the advance of the Eternal Realm were directly crushed.

Those Dark Demons drawn into the Eternal Realm plunged into Chaos and madness.

"We are really going to be wiped out by Lin Fei!"

"Lord, where have you gone? Could it be, has my Dark Demon Domain truly been defeated?"

"How could dozens of Supremes, along with the Ruler, fail?"

"But if not, would Lin Fei dare so brazenly attack our stronghold in the Dark Demon Domain?"

"Moreover, there has been no word from the Ruler. Not even a single supreme has been heard from. Perhaps, the Ruler and all the supremes have truly been defeated..."

Many Dark Demons seemed to come to this realization. If the Supremes and the Dark Demon Lord had indeed been defeated, thoroughly at that, then they were in danger.

With a "hum," the Eternal Realm continued to expand rapidly, and a terrifying force descended. All Dark Demons felt as if the apocalypse had come. One by one, they were obliterated. No matter how special their methods, it was all the same. They could not escape the annihilation of the Eternal Realm.
