607. The Complementary Power of the Eternal Realm and the Illusory Realm
607. The Complementary Power of the Eternal Realm and the Illusory Realm
For the first time, the Illusory Realm appeared before everyone. Previously, it was the Saber World, distinct from the Illusory Realm. Lin Fei's Illusory Realm, having undergone a transformation, had reached the True Immortal and Martial Ancestor level. Yet, Lin Fei was unsure of its effectiveness in actual combat. He only had confidence in its potential.
The Dark Demon had already torn through the Eternal Realm and was about to escape. However, when Lin Fei's Illusory Realm descended, it enveloped the Dark Demon entirely. Instantly, the Dark Demon's body trembled, and its eyes became dazed. It was momentarily stunned by the illusions.
This demonstrated the power of the Illusory Realm. Even a Dark Demon on par with a True Immortal or Martial Ancestor couldn't withstand its effects. While the Illusory Realm couldn't kill the Dark Demon, Lin Fei's intent was to use it as support.
With the Dark Demon subdued by the Illusory Realm, Lin Fei unleashed the Eternal Realm once more.
"Annihilate!"
The Eternal Realm erupted with a terrifying force. With one Dark Demon already defeated, Lin Fei could now focus all his might on this remaining foe. The full power of the Eternal Realm concentrated on the Dark Demon, overwhelming it.
Within moments, the Dark Demon let out a blood-curdling scream before being crushed into powder.
The entire void fell silent. The True Immortal of the Yin-Yang Immortal Domain could hardly believe his eyes. The two Dark Demons he struggled to contain were effortlessly vanquished by Lin Fei alone. Was this even possible?
Despite the disbelief, the facts were undeniable. The True Immortal witnessed Lin Fei single-handedly destroy two True Immortal-level Dark Demons. Though it was rumored that Lin Fei was powerful, seeing him perform such a feat shortly after becoming a Martial Ancestor was unprecedented.
Lin Fei glanced at the battlefield where the Great Dream Sect members were engaged with the Dark Demons.
The Dark Demons, though similar to Martial Gods, were not entirely the same. They resembled exotic beasts with strong bodies, immense strength, and challenging combat capabilities. Additionally, they harbored a special energy core within them, the true essence of their power.
In the void, wisps of dark energy lingered.
The pervasive black energy not only resisted the suppression of the Divine Realm but also created a suffocating atmosphere for its cultivators. Lin Fei reached out and grasped a handful of the black qi. Immediately, it began to corrode, attempting to penetrate his body. Naturally, it failed, but its sheer potency was evident.
Observing the numerous Dark Demons, Lin Fei expanded his Eternal Realm, enveloping the entire void and the Dark Demons within it.
"Whoosh."
With the power of the Eternal Realm, the Dark Demons were swiftly annihilated, reduced to nothing but dust. Such was the terror of the Eternal Realm—once subdued within it, anything unable to withstand its force was obliterated.
The battle was ultimately won. The Great Dream Sect's first confrontation with the dark demons in the Yin-Yang Immortal Domain ended in victory. It was indeed a cause for celebration. At least, it served to boost morale. It showed everyone that the dark demons were not invincible—they too could die.
Moreover, they were nearly annihilated by Lin Fei. With one sweep of the Eternal Realm, all were suppressed and then obliterated. No matter what powers or tactics they possessed, none were of any use against this absolute force!
"Chongxia of the Misty Mountain, thanks fellow Daoist Lin for the rescue!" The True Immortal, who had been saved by Lin Fei, approached with a respectful bow.
Without Lin Fei's timely intervention, True Immortal Chongxia and his companions would have faced grave danger. While Chongxia might have survived, his companions would likely have perished at the hands of the Dark Demons.
"True Immortal Chongxia, there's no need for such courtesy," Lin Fei replied. "It is our Great Dream Sect's mission to support the Yin-Yang Immortal Domain. By the way, what is the current situation in the Yin-Yang Immortal Domain? This place seems more like a core area rather than the periphery, correct?"
True Immortal Chongxia sighed heavily, his expression grave. "To be honest, fellow daoist Lin, the situation in the Yin-Yang Immortal Domain is dire. This indeed is the core area, yet even here, conflict is rampant. You have experienced the methods of the Dark Demons yourself—their strength rivals that of cultivators of the same level and even surpasses that of our Immortal Dao, comparable to Martial Dao cultivators.
And they have the Dark Demon Heart in the Dark Demon Domain, negating any concern about death. They combine the strengths of both the Immortal and Martial Dao. Moreover, the Dark Demons are endless. No one knows the exact number of invading Dark Demons. Thus, despite support from other Daoists of the Divine Realm, the Yin-Yang Immortal Domain continues to retreat."
Lin Fei frowned. The situation was more dire than he had anticipated. Even the core of the Yin-Yang Immortal Domain was on the verge of collapse. This was despite the continuous support from other Divine Realm factions. The only explanation was that the Dark Demon Domain's strength was overwhelming, possibly surpassing that of the Divine Realm, enabling them to launch this invasion.
"Have any True Immortals or Martial Ancestors fallen?" Lin Fei asked.
"So far, none," True Immortal Chongxia replied. "True Immortals, as long as they are in the Divine Realm, are virtually impossible to kill. As for Martial Ancestors, their recovery abilities are terrifying. Unless they are instantly obliterated, which only a Supreme can achieve, they won't fall. For now, no Martial Ancestor has perished. But who knows what the future holds? The situation is extremely grim. We might have to abandon the Yin-Yang Immortal Domain."
True Immortal Chongxia's words made Lin Fei's heart sink. The idea of abandoning the Yin-Yang Immortal Domain, coming from a True Immortal within it, indicated just how desperate the situation had become. It seemed the defenders had lost confidence.
"What about the Supremes?" Lin Fei asked, a thought striking him. "Aren't there two Supremes in the Yin-Yang Immortal Domain?"
"Supremes?" True Immortal Chongxia shook his head. "It's not just the two Supremes of the Yin-Yang Immortal Domain. All the Supremes from the Divine Realm are likely involved. They've ventured into the chaos to battle the Dark Demon Lord. The outcome of that battle is uncertain. But if the Dark Demon Lord dared to come to the Divine Realm, he must have some confidence in his victory. Even if our Supremes can hold him off, they won't be able to defeat him easily. The war at the Supreme level won't end anytime soon."
Lin Fei understood. Even the battles between Supremes were not promising. To repel the Dark Demon Domain's invasion, the only solution was to triumph at the True Immortal and Martial Ancestor levels.
The Dark Demon Domain's forces, no matter how numerous, would dwindle if enough were killed, as their regeneration would take considerable time. Thus, the immediate objective was to push back the current invaders.
Determined, Lin Fei's eyes flashed with resolve. "Where is the nearest battlefield?"
