651. Lin Fei Descends upon the Dark Demon Domain
Silence!
The void was enveloped in an unnerving stillness, a silence as profound as death itself, unsettling to its core. For no Dark Demon remained here. Such tumult had already drawn the attention of several cultivators from the Divine Realm. Yet, as they beheld the scene before them, they stood agape, disbelief etched upon their faces.
"Have all the Dark Demons perished?"
"Yes, every single one, eradicated by Martial Ancestor Lin in one fell swoop."
"One fell swoop... But that's the stronghold of the Dark Demon Domain in the Yin-Yang Immortal Domain, teeming with such powerful beings. How could they all have died?"
"No Supremes! The Supremes of the Dark Demon Domain are nowhere to be found. Perhaps, they were all dealt with by Martial Ancestor Lin; otherwise, how could he so calmly exterminate all the Dark Demons?"
"Indeed, the Supremes of the Dark Demon Domain must have been resolved by Martial Ancestor Lin. Even now, so many Dark Demons have been resolved by him. Does this not mean that the Yin-Yang Immortal Domain has effectively been reclaimed?"
"Most certainly, the Yin-Yang Immortal Domain must have been reclaimed! This is an opportunity, for now the Yin-Yang Immortal Domain is a blank slate, all forces swept away..."
In a moment, the multitude of cultivators from the Divine Realm shifted from shock to anticipation. Their gazes turned fervent as they looked upon Lin Fei. In the vast region of the Yin-Yang Immortal Domain, all forces were obliterated.
What a good opportunity!
For many cultivators, it was a chance to claim territories and divide the power. And all this was brought about by Lin Fei.
Lin Fei paid little heed to these ordinary cultivators. The myriad Dark Demons had all been transformed into the essence of flesh and blood, absorbed by Lin Fei's Eternal Realm.
However, Lin Fei noticed that his Eternal Realm seemed to have gained little from this. It appeared that ever since his Eternal Realm had ascended to the True Immortal-level world, the enhancement from the essence of flesh and blood had diminished. What could now advance Lin Fei's Eternal Realm were the world's origins—and in substantial amounts.
Of course, Lin Fei was well aware that advancing from a True Immortal-level world to a realm would be a qualitative leap, perhaps hundreds of times more difficult than advancing from a True Monarch-level world to a True Immortal-level world.
Once transformed into a realm, Lin Fei would essentially become one with the domain. What a terrifying prospect that was! Perhaps even a Ruler could be easily crushed by Lin Fei then.
With a whoosh, Lin Fei no longer delayed. In one stride, his figure vanished without a trace. He had left the Divine Realm and once again entered the Chaos.
"Chaos..." Lin Fei murmured softly to himself. This time, however, he was alone. Previously, it was the Black Tortoise Supreme who had accompanied him to the Chaos. This time, he was solitary.
Similarly, the Qi of Chaos attempted to erode Lin Fei. All beings are susceptible to its corruption. But Lin Fei was different. He possessed the Eternal Realm and did not even need to resist. He allowed the chaotic qi to wash over him, yet they could not infiltrate his Eternal Realm.
With a swift motion, Lin Fei summoned a Supreme being from his Eternal Realm, a Supreme from the Dark Demon Domain.
"Lead the way," Lin Fei commanded indifferently.
He had brought the remaining three Supremes from the Dark Demon Domain for this very purpose—to guide him. The Supreme of the Dark Demon Domain did not hesitate and immediately began to lead the way, flying deeper into the Chaos.
Lin Fei followed closely behind, traversing the depths of the Chaos. In this realm, one could not traverse through the void but had to rely on flight. Lin Fei was flying—not too fast, yet not too slow. He did not fully trust the Supreme of the Dark Demon Domain and remained vigilant.
Days passed uneventfully. Flying through the Chaos was exceedingly monotonous, for no matter how far or how long one flew, the surroundings appeared unchanged as if one were marching in place. Yet, Lin Fei remained composed, following the lead of the Dark Demon Supreme.
Ten days, twenty days, thirty days... In the blink of an eye, nearly four months had passed. In the Eternal Realm, this equated to forty months, or just over three years.
During these three years, there was some enhancement within the Eternal Realm, though it was not a dramatic leap but a gradual, steady progression—slow but solid improvement.
Finally, the Supreme of the Dark Demon Domain came to a halt.
"We have arrived, Martial Ancestor Lin! Ahead lies the Dark Demon Domain. Can you fulfill your promise, I wonder?"
Lin Fei beheld the domain realm ahead. "Naturally, I will honor my word, but not just yet. Besides, even if I released you now, would you dare return to the Dark Demon Domain? I fear the Dark Demon Lord would not hesitate to destroy your dark demon heart, and that would truly be your end!" Lin Fei stated icily.
He had gained some understanding of the Dark Demon Domain, aware that the Dark Demon Lord was not merely a Supreme. He also held sway over these Supreme beings of the Dark Demon Domain. Even the Supremes could be utterly annihilated should the Ruler wish it. The reason was simple: their dark demon hearts were under the Ruler's control.
With a slight motion, Lin Fei's Eternal Realm enveloped and reabsorbed the Supreme from the Dark Demon Domain. The Supreme understood well enough; returning to the Dark Demon Domain now would mean certain death.
Given the Lord's cunning and ruthless nature, even a Supreme's return would lead to their execution and the complete destruction of their dark demon heart. Being suppressed within Lin Fei's Eternal Realm, on the other hand, might just save his life.
"Dark Demon Domain..."
Lin Fei could now see the Dark Demon Domain ahead. It appeared significantly larger than the Divine Realm, which was to be expected since the Dark Demon Domain had invaded numerous other realms. Naturally, with many resources brought back to the Dark Demon Domain, it had expanded.
Lin Fei silently observed the Dark Demon Domain, sensing its immense power. Indeed, if the Dark Demon Lord were in his realm, his strength might increase tenfold, even a hundredfold, not to be measured by the standards of the Divine Realm.
However, Lin Fei was not content to simply leave. After all, the Dark Demon Lord had once caused great upheaval in the Divine Realm. No matter what, Lin Fei felt compelled to deliver a little "surprise" to the Lord.
"A gift of meeting..."
With a steely gaze, Lin Fei took a step forward and instantly flew into the Dark Demon Domain.
In the Dark Demon Domain, within the temple of the Dark Demon Lord, he stood as the sole Ruler. He had established the Temple of Dark Demons, ruling over the entire realm. Nearly all Dark Demons were devotees of the temple, though how many were true believers remained unknown. At least outwardly, they all appeared devout.
However, at this moment, the Dark Demon Lord wore a grim expression. He had been back in the Dark Demon Domain for some time, but his heart was far from calm, even restless. He had abandoned many Dark Demons, even Supremes among them. He was well aware that once these Supremes were forsaken, it was unlikely any would escape.
Furthermore, it was possible that some of these Supremes might betray the Dark Demon Domain. Perhaps the location of the Dark Demon Domain had already been exposed!
"If the Dark Demon Domain is revealed, then Lin Fei will surely come. Perhaps, this might even be an opportunity..." A sharp glint passed through the eyes of the Dark Demon Lord.
Even now, he had not given up on his desire to eliminate Lin Fei.
"Hm? Someone has invaded the Dark Demon Domain?"
Suddenly, the Dark Demon Lord abruptly looked up, his gaze piercing the void. At such a time, with life from the Chaos invading the Dark Demon Domain, there might be other possibilities. However, he felt that there was only one most likely scenario.
It was very likely that Lin Fei had arrived!
