Chapter 2037: Draw the Sword and Ride the Horse
The power of the rules of the Tianyuan duel instantly enveloped the entire Xuanyu Realm. The next moment, a figure appeared out of thin air in the void of the Xuanyu Realm, tens of thousands of miles away from Pomesis and the others.
Chen Fei's gaze pierced through the vast void, landing directly on Broken Annihilation Venerable and Cang Huaying.
"It's you!"
The moment Destroyer saw Chen Fei, his eyes widened in disbelief, his crimson pupils filled with disbelief.
When the rules of the Tianyuan Duel were introduced, many possible opponents flashed through his mind. He thought of Venerable Tianxuan, but he never expected it to be Chen Fei.
This was the remnant of the Xuan Yu Realm whom he once regarded as an ant, someone he could easily crush and who eventually fled in panic.
What alarmed him even more was that the aura emanating from Chen Fei was vast and boundless, having reached the limit of the fifteenth rank. This was completely different from the junior he remembered who was only at the mid-fifteenth rank and had escaped through trickery and luck.
Cang Huaying, standing to the side, remained silent, but his cold eyes were also fixed intently on Chen Fei. He, too, recognized this man who, at the last moment in the Xuan Yu Realm, had opened the passage, allowing some of the Xuan Yu Realm's beings to escape.
"At that time, he should only have been at the mid-stage of the fifteenth level."
Cang Huaying's eyes narrowed slightly. How long has it been? Not only has he reached the fifteenth level limit, but he has also triggered the Tianyuan duel!
The Heavenly Origin Showdown is a privilege reserved only for the top geniuses on the Heavenly Origin Ranking. This Chen Fei has actually made it onto the Heavenly Origin Ranking.
This Chen Fei definitely has a big problem!
Cang Huaying's eyes sharpened instantly, and her vigilance reached its peak.
To achieve such leapfrog growth in such a short period of time, one must either have obtained some unimaginable extraordinary opportunity or possess some kind of incredible existence.
"A duel to the death!" Cang Huaying's voice was as cold as ice, devoid of any emotion. "Kill him!"
Before he finished speaking, Cang Huaying's figure had already disappeared from the spot and appeared in front of Chen Fei. In his hand, he had somehow grasped an ancient black banner that was completely black and exuded a strong aura of death and evil.
Before the banner even moved, the surrounding light was absorbed, and the temperature plummeted.
"die!"
The black banner in Cang Huaying's hand was like a demonic blade that could cleave the heavens and the earth, slashing down fiercely towards Chen Fei's head with a soul-ripping shriek. This attack was devoid of any fancy moves, containing only the purest and most extreme will to destroy and die.
Almost simultaneously, the figure of the Destroyer also appeared beside Chen Fei.
His face was contorted with rage, and the shock in his eyes had turned into a frenzied killing intent. In his hand, a strange, dark red demonic blade, carrying all his anger and power, slashed fiercely at Chen Fei's neck.
Back in the Xuan Yu Realm, the Destroyer had already completed the forging of the Earthly Dao Foundation by using the plundered source.
Afterwards, as long as the Xuan Yu Realm is completely devoured and integrated, the Heavenly Origin Dao Foundation can be successfully forged, allowing one to ascend to heaven in one step.
However, he was unable to complete the final step of devouring the Xuan Yu Realm, which meant that his Heavenly Origin Dao Foundation was always just one step away from being fully established.
Even so, thanks to the profound foundation of the Earthly Origin Dao Foundation and his control over a portion of the Xuan Yu Realm's origin, the strength of the Destroyer Venerable far surpasses that of ordinary Earthly Origin Dao Foundation experts, placing him at the critical point of the Heavenly Origin Dao Foundation.
At this moment, he unleashed his fury with astonishing power; wherever the demonic blade passed, space shattered silently.
Faced with the combined attack of Cang Huaying and Po Mie Zun, Chen Fei slightly raised his eyelids, his gaze lingering on Po Mie Zun for a moment.
Back then, the Annihilation Lord was practically invincible in the Xuan Yu Realm. At that time, he truly had no power to fight back against the Annihilation Lord.
But now, times have changed.
"Zheng!"
A dazzling silver-white light shone from his side, instantly condensing into a domineering battle halberd with intricate array patterns flowing throughout its body. This was the Qian Yuan Halberd, a weapon directly formed from an array puppet and incorporating all the offensive and defensive characteristics of a linked array.
With another thought, Chen Fei's future true body, located at the end of time, instantly projected its immense power, which had reached the fifteenth level limit, onto his body, adding to the power of his main body.
Chen Fei gripped the Qian Yuan Halberd with both hands. Facing the incoming attack, he neither dodged nor evaded, but instead swung the halberd forward with a powerful horizontal sweep.
"Boom!"
The trajectory of the halberd blade seemed to tear the heavens and earth apart. A silver-white halberd light, condensed to its extreme, carrying a terrifying will to crush everything and annihilate all laws, spread wildly to both sides.
"clang!"
A deafening explosion shot into the sky. The moment the Demon Lord's menacing dark red demonic blade came into contact with the silver-white halberd light, it emitted a piercing metallic wail. Then, the man and the blade were violently swept away by the unimaginably violent power contained in the halberd light.
In mid-air, the Venerable One of Destruction spewed out a mouthful of crimson blood mist mixed with fragments of internal organs, drawing a gruesome blood trail in the air.
Although he was already at the critical point of the Heavenly Origin Dao Foundation, his so-called critical power was utterly ineffective against Chen Fei's power, which had been fused with the ultimate power of the future true body.
It should be noted that even Situ You, a true Tianyuan Dao Foundation expert, was previously crushed by Chen Fei in a head-on battle, let alone him, a half-finished product.
Moreover, Chen Fei's future true body has now reached its true limit, and his physical strength is much stronger than when he fought Situ You.
Compared to the sorry state of the Destroyer, Cang Huaying was in a much better situation.
The jet-black ancient banner in his hand clashed fiercely with the sweeping silver-white halberd, producing a deafening metallic clang.
A terrifying energy shockwave raged outwards from the point of impact, tearing everything in its path to shreds.
Cang Huaying did not retreat. His figure remained firmly in place, the black banner in his hand as steady as a rock. However, his cold eyes were now filled with astonishment.
Cang Huaying ranks seventy-ninth on the Tianyuan Ranking. She is a true prodigy who has seen countless powerful figures and experienced countless fierce battles.
Although the sudden appearance of the Heavenly Origin Duel rule in the Xuan Yu Realm surprised him, he quickly calmed down and, for the sake of safety, even had the Destruction Venerable join in, forming a combined attack.
Even so, the Destroyer was swept away by the halberd, severely injured and coughing up blood. As for himself, although he blocked the halberd, he did not gain the slightest advantage. On the contrary, he was shaken by the vast and powerful force in the halberd's light, causing his arm to go numb and his blood to churn.
In such a short time, he not only cultivated from the mid-stage of the fifteenth rank to the limit of the fifteenth rank, but also forged a Heavenly Origin Dao Foundation... no, not just an ordinary Heavenly Origin Dao Foundation!
How is this cultivated?
Even with Cang Huaying's extensive knowledge and experience of countless brilliant geniuses across the myriad realms, he still felt an unimaginable sense of absurdity and shock.
"Impossible! Impossible!"
In the distance, the Destroyer finally managed to stop his backward flight. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, looked at Chen Fei a thousand miles away, and let out a hissing roar filled with resentment and venom.
He couldn't accept that the person who could have easily crushed him back then had now sent him flying and severely injured him with a single blow.
If it weren't for Cang Huaying sharing most of the pressure, his situation would be even worse, and he might have lost his fighting ability altogether.
Humiliation, anger, and a deep-seated fear gnawed at his soul like venomous snakes.
"We can't afford to take any more chances..."
A mad, resolute glint flashed in the eyes of the Destroyer. Despite his resentment, the attack he had just suffered made him realize that if he didn't fight desperately, he wouldn't even have the right to participate in this battle.
They could only become a burden to Cang Huaying, or even be easily killed by Chen Fei.
"pole!"
The Destroyer roared like a wild beast, frantically burning the primal power within his body that he had painstakingly cultivated for countless years to forge the Heavenly Origin Dao Foundation.
"boom!"
A terrifying aura surged from the body of the Destroyer, causing his body to swell. Dark red blood flowed beneath his skin, and his eyes were so bloodshot they seemed to drip blood.
His aura instantly broke through the critical barrier, directly stepping from the critical Heavenly Origin Dao Foundation into the realm of the true Heavenly Origin Dao Foundation.
Although this state can only last for a short time, and cannot be recovered without a powerful medicine, at this moment, the Destroyer has indeed possessed the combat power of the Heavenly Origin Dao Foundation.
"kill!"
The Destroyer stomped his right foot heavily in the void, creating ripples in the space. His figure transformed into a dark red streak of light once more, rushing madly toward Chen Fei.
The demonic blade in his hand trembled incessantly due to the immense power it bore, and corrosive black blood cascaded down its edge like a waterfall.
"clang!"
Cang Huaying suddenly shook the ancient black banner in her hand, and took advantage of the recoil from colliding with the Qian Yuan Halberd to fly backward for hundreds of miles.
At the same time, he shook the black banner in his hand violently again.
"Nine Netherworld Shadows, emerge!"
With Cang Huaying's cold shout, the twisted vengeful spirit reliefs on the black banner seemed to come alive, emitting silent shrieks.
The next moment, nine solid, almost tangible black shadows, with blurred faces but an extremely fierce aura, stepped out from the banner.
As soon as these nine malevolent figures appeared, the entire Xuan Yu Realm seemed to darken, filled with an aura of death and resentment.
The aura emanating from each of these fiendish figures was only slightly weaker than that of the Destroyer Venerable before he burned his origin. In other words, each fiendish figure possessed the combat power of an Earthly Origin Dao Foundation cultivator.
Cang Huaying stared at Chen Fei, and the black banner in her hand trembled violently once more. This time, a figure emerged from the center of the banner.
The figure's outline was exactly the same as Cang Huaying's own. Only, the face was pale, the eyes were empty and lifeless, and the body was shrouded in an intensely thick aura of resentment and malevolence.
This eerie figure is neither a future true body nor a projection of power. Rather, it is a natal eerie body that Cang Huaying created by using the remaining soul of her twin brother, who died unexpectedly years ago, as a foundation, and by fusing countless rare soul-path materials and secret techniques with her painstaking efforts.
It is in perfect harmony with his mind and possesses unpredictable and mysterious power; it is one of his strongest trump cards.
With a flick of the black banner in Cang Huaying's hand, nine malevolent shadows roared silently, carrying overwhelming killing intent and deathly aura as they pounced upon Chen Fei.
Cang Huaying's innate ghost body made no sound, but with a slight sway, it merged with the other nine black shadows radiating murderous aura, transforming into an overwhelming shadow of death that frantically attacked Chen Fei from all directions.
At the same time, Cang Huaying herself moved again.
Holding an ancient black banner burning with dark flames, he instantly traversed space and appeared to Chen Fei's side and behind.
The black banner in his hand was no longer simply waved, but was raised high, with countless vengeful spirits shrieking and howling on its surface, condensing into a terrifying deathly intent that could destroy the world, and then smashed down hard on Chen Fei's back.
Before the banner even arrived, the deathly aura that solidified space and eroded life had already caused the protective spiritual light around Chen Fei to fluctuate.
Ten elusive, malevolent figures, the true form of a Heavenly Origin Ranking prodigy, plus another Destruction Venerable who briefly possessed Heavenly Origin Dao Foundation combat power…
At this moment, Chen Fei seemed to be caught in a net, completely overwhelmed by deadly attacks from all directions. The terrifying pressure caused the Xuan Yu Realm itself to groan under its strain, the earth to crack, and mountains to collapse, as if the end of the world had arrived.
Chen Fei's eyes flashed with golden light as he calmly examined the many enemies rushing towards him, lingering for a moment longer on the eerie figure that was identical to Cang Huaying.
Chen Fei had previously seen Cang Huaying's name and aura on the Tianyuan Ranking. Now, witnessing it firsthand, he was certain that the opponent's combat power and this strange, unpredictable trump card truly lived up to his 79th place on the Tianyuan Ranking.
However, Chen Fei felt completely calm. Cang Huaying was strong, and Po Mie Zun was not weak, but I was even stronger!
The Divine Forbidden Heavenly Prison within Chen Fei's body was quietly accelerating at a mysterious frequency.
In an instant, in Chen Fei's eyes, the world seemed to be stripped of its gorgeous and complicated appearance, revealing its most essential flow of power and the patterns of rules.
The seemingly flawless but terrifying encirclement before them revealed clearly visible layers and gaps under the keen perception granted by the Divine Forbidden Heavenly Prison.
Although the nine malevolent figures exuded a fierce aura, there was a slight delay in the interaction of their powers.
Although Cang Huaying's main body and the ghost body's attacks are of the same origin, because the ghost body is ultimately an external object, there is a slight gap that makes it difficult to be completely synchronized.
The power of the Destroyer's burning origin was violent, but also extremely unstable, and it lacked true coordination with Cang Huaying's attacks...
The next instant, Chen Fei advanced instead of retreating, taking a bold step forward. The Qian Yuan Halberd in his hand burst forth with dazzling silver-white divine light, and countless array patterns on the halberd body lit up at the same time.
Chen Fei flexed his muscles and swung the Qian Yuan Halberd in a perfect crescent arc, sweeping it fiercely towards the approaching shadow.
"laugh!"
With a soft sound, yet carrying a heart-stopping tearing sensation, the five shadowy figures at the forefront were cleanly and decisively shredded and torn apart as if a hot knife were cutting through butter when they came into contact with the silver-white halberd light.
The shadowy figure let out a silent, shrill shriek, its form instantly disintegrating into a sky full of scattered black malevolent energy, which was then completely purified and annihilated by the destructive power contained within the halberd's light.
"boom!"
The other four malevolent figures that attacked from the side and rear were not directly hit by the halberd blade, but they were still severely struck by the violent aftershocks of the halberd's sweeping power.
The baleful aura on their bodies churned violently, and their bodies were struck as if by a heavy blow, emitting a muffled thud. They were sent flying backward at an even faster speed than when they arrived, and their aura immediately weakened by more than half.
It wasn't that these fiends didn't resist, but in the face of the Qian Yuan Halberd, which combined the characteristics of array return and law breaking, as well as Chen Fei's own absolute power, all their resistance seemed pale and powerless.
"clang!"
A violent, deafening roar, as if a bronze bell had been struck violently, suddenly exploded out.
Centered on Chen Fei, a destructive energy halo, a mixture of silver, black, and dark red energies, suddenly spread out, shattering space wherever it passed and revealing the distorted void turbulence behind it.
At the center of the energy storm, Chen Fei's figure trembled slightly, but his feet seemed to be rooted in the void, and he stood firmly in place.
His protective aura flickered intensely, his robes fluttered in the wind, but his figure remained upright like a pine tree, and he actually withstood the combined attack of three Heavenly Origin level experts without taking a single step back.
Upon closer inspection, Chen Fei was completely unharmed, and even his breathing showed no obvious disturbance. The Qian Yuan Halberd was held horizontally in front of him, and although the array patterns flowing on the halberd's body had dimmed slightly, they remained stable.
On the other hand, the face of the three people opposite him turned ashen, the tiger's mouth of his hands holding the knife cracked, and several more cracks appeared on the dark red demonic blade.
He felt as if his attack had struck an unshakeable mountain. The force of the rebound caused his body to churn violently, and the violent power brought by burning his source was almost shattered. Blood spilled from the corner of his mouth again.
The dense Yin energy surrounding Cang Huaying's natal avatar surged and fluctuated violently, like a thick fog being blown by a gale. Its originally solid body became momentarily blurred and transparent, clearly indicating that it had suffered a significant impact in the clash of forces just now.
A blush, unusually bright, flashed across Cang Huaying's beautiful face, but he quickly suppressed it.
"Dang! Dang! Dang!"
The sounds of violent impact, as dense as rain and as rapid as drums, resounded throughout the battlefield in the next instant, replacing all other sounds in the world.
Before the energy storm had completely subsided, Chen Fei had already launched a counterattack.
He wielded the Qian Yuan Halberd, his figure like a dragon, maneuvering freely amidst the combined attacks of Cang Huaying, Gui Shen, and Po Mie Zun.
The halberd techniques were expansive and powerful, sometimes like a mountain pressing down, sometimes sweeping across a thousand armies, with an overwhelming momentum. Each halberd strike was heavy and powerful, containing terrifying power to crush everything, and also carrying the array characteristics of destroying all laws.
Cang Huaying held a black banner, transforming it into a deathly domain. Every wave of the banner carried a terrifying deathly aura that eroded the soul and froze life.
His innate psychic body works seamlessly with him, often launching attacks from unbelievable angles, using strange claws, yin energy impacts, and soul-piercing screams... His methods are unpredictable and impossible to defend against.
The Destroyer was even more like a madman. Burning his own essence, he disregarded everything and frantically slashed with his demonic blade, bringing up streaks of dark red blade light, trying to exchange injuries for injuries and hold off Chen Fei.
The four shadowy figures that had been swept away struggled to fly back, fearlessly lunging at Chen Fei.
However, the situation on the battlefield was one-sided.
Chen Fei, alone with his halberd, not only held his own against the siege of three powerful enemies and several shadowy figures, but fought with increasing ferocity and unstoppable momentum.
Each swing of the Qian Yuan Halberd forces someone to retreat or shatters a shadowy figure.
Even if those shadowy figures reassemble, their power is greatly reduced. They often cannot withstand more than two or three rounds under the Qian Yuan Halberd before shattering again with a mournful cry.
In contrast, consider the three members of the Destruction Venerable.
The time it took for the Destroyer to burn his origin was passing rapidly. He could feel the power that had been forcibly raised receding, followed by a deeper weakness and a burning pain in his Dao foundation.
His attacks gradually weakened, and the madness on his face was replaced by fear and exhaustion. Under Chen Fei's ferocious halberd techniques, he was struggling to defend himself and was in grave danger. Several deep wounds, revealing the bone, were now visible on his body, and dark red demonic blood was dripping from his body.
Cang Huaying's natal ghost body trembled violently, and its originally solid body became increasingly faint, as if it might collapse at any moment.
It had taken a significant portion of Chen Fei's direct attacks, and its power was already unstable, causing a noticeable delay in its coordination with Cang Huaying's main body.
Cang Huaying's face grew paler and paler, and her breathing became violently erratic.
"So this is the seventy-ninth on the Heavenly Origin Ranking!" Chen Fei suddenly spoke amidst the fierce battle, his voice calm.
"Brother, we can't hesitate any longer, or the consequences today will be unpredictable!" The Destroyer Lord let out a shrill cry, he was about to collapse.
Cang Huaying's expression turned extremely ugly at this moment, but he knew that the Destroyer Venerable was right. If he didn't fight to the death, not only would he not be able to protect the Xuan Yu Realm, but he himself would probably perish here today.
"Since you want to die... I'll grant your wish!"
Cang Huaying squeezed out these words through gritted teeth, spitting a mouthful of her vital essence blood, glowing with a faint golden light, onto the black banner in her hand.
Burning banners transforms into dragons, souls are sacrificed to the heavens in a treacherous manner!
The black banner in Cang Huaying's hand suddenly burst into flames, burning not only the banner itself but also the very essence within his body.
As the soul fire burned, the black banner transformed into a spear, and countless agonizing, howling soul shadows coiled around the spear. Cang Huaying's aura surged instantly, reaching a terrifying level.
At the same time, his natal ghost body also ignited the same pale soul fire in its empty eyes, and its aura surged wildly in sync, actually starting to burn its own power.
In his hand, the ghost also conjured a long spear of soul fire.
