Chapter 2229 Unprecedented
But today, after witnessing Chen Fei's feat of defeating five top-tier half-step Heavenly Lords single-handedly, and even eliminating Zhan Wuji, He Jinchuan, and Yu Jinyan directly, I was deeply impressed.
It seemed that Chen Fei becoming the leader was becoming a matter of course.
"To fight five opponents and still win is simply invincible. I don't think any of the remaining people can stop him."
“I also think Chen Fei has a very good chance,” another cultivator echoed.
"Even Zhan Wuji and Ling Qingxue combined are no match for him, let alone the others. Unless Yuwen Xuan has some earth-shattering trump card up his sleeve, I think the champion this time is none other than Chen Fei."
"Yuwen Xuan... even if he comes, so what? Chen Fei could defeat Zhan Wuji and Ling Qingxue together, so why would he be afraid of Yuwen Xuan?"
A frenzied atmosphere quickly spread throughout the capital.
More and more cultivators began to believe that Chen Fei, this anomaly who entered the Yan Yang World with the peak of the Tai Cang Realm, could really create a legend that is unprecedented and probably will never be repeated.
At this moment, deep within the blazing world, a figure dressed in a purple-gold dragon-patterned robe stood with his hands behind his back.
His face was expressionless, but his deep eyes gleamed with an indescribable light.
Hundreds of millions of miles away.
On a desolate, crimson Gobi desert, space rippled slightly like water, and a staggering figure appeared out of thin air.
It was Ling Qingxue.
As soon as she appeared, she could no longer suppress the surging blood and qi within her body. She suddenly clutched her chest and spat out another mouthful of bright red blood.
After spitting out a mouthful of blood, the paleness on her face, as white as ancient ice, finally regained a trace of color.
She was breathing heavily, her chest heaving, and a trace of lingering fear and apprehension still remained in her icy blue eyes.
She recalled the halberd strike Chen Fei had just delivered, a terrifying blow that had drawn upon the very essence of the entire Nine Heavens Space.
That power had far exceeded the limits that a half-step Heavenly Monarch could reach, even giving her a kind of illusion.
It was as if she was facing not a cultivator at the peak of the Tai Cang Realm, but a true Heavenly Monarch who had mastered the origin of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.
Of course, she knew very well that although Chen Fei was powerful, he was not powerful enough to unleash a strike comparable to that of a Heavenly Monarch.
The power of that halberd strike was largely due to him drawing upon the primal power of the blazing sun world.
However, the very fact that he was able to sense the existence of that primordial power and successfully draw upon, control, and transform it into his own power already proves Chen Fei's strength.
It should be noted that drawing upon the power of heaven and earth is not a difficult task for a half-step Heavenly Monarch.
However, drawing upon the primordial power of a world is a completely different concept. It requires an extremely profound understanding of the rules of heaven and earth.
It requires extremely powerful spiritual strength and extremely exquisite control.
All three are indispensable.
Chen Fei, at the peak of the Tai Cang Realm, actually accomplished this.
What's even more terrifying is that after activating such a massive amount of primordial power, Chen Fei didn't explode and die.
She had personally experienced the immense power and terror of that primordial force. Let alone a peak Tai Cang Realm cultivator, even a true half-step Heavenly Monarch would be in danger if that power were forcibly absorbed into their body.
It is also highly likely that the body will collapse due to the inability to withstand the impact of that force.
However, after Chen Fei unleashed that earth-shattering halberd strike, although his aura was noticeably weaker, his body showed no signs of collapse.
This shows that his body's ability to withstand stress has far exceeded the realm of common sense.
"What kind of spiritual cultivation technique does he practice?"
Ling Qingxue frowned deeply, lost in thought. "I've never heard of the Danchen Sect having such a powerful soul inheritance."
Although she didn't know much about the Danchen Sect, she did know that although the Danchen Sect had a long history and profound foundation, it did not have any outstanding achievements in the path of the soul.
However, the terrifying control over the soul that Chen Fei displayed was something that even she could not match.
"Shouldn't it be some other extraordinary encounter?"
A thought flashed through Ling Qingxue's mind, but she quickly suppressed it.
Now is not the time to delve into these matters. The immediate priority is to recover from the injuries as quickly as possible and then figure out how to deal with the situation ahead.
She took out a pill that emitted a misty, cold aura, swallowed it, sat cross-legged, closed her eyes, and began to regulate her breathing to recover her depleted energy and physical strength.
However, shortly after she entered a meditative state, her brows suddenly furrowed slightly, and she abruptly opened her eyes.
"who!"
A sharp shout, like ice crystals colliding, carrying a chilling aura, suddenly rang out.
Ling Qingxue suddenly stood up, and the Hun Tian Silk around her moved without wind, like a flowing light curtain, flying and swirling around her.
A chilling aura emanated from her and spread wildly in all directions. The surrounding space instantly condensed into countless fine ice crystals.
Despite having just been brutally beaten by Chen Fei, suffering severe injuries, and being weak, Ling Qingxue still exuded a chilling sharpness.
After all, she was the most outstanding successor of the Ice Soul Divine Palace in this generation, a powerful figure standing at the peak of the half-step Heavenly Monarch realm. Even though she was seriously injured, she was by no means a soft persimmon that could be easily manipulated.
Don't misunderstand.
A gentle voice echoed from the void not far away.
Immediately afterwards, the space rippled slightly, and a figure slowly appeared.
It was Tang Yin of the Tianyan Sect.
After Tang Yin appeared, he did not get too close, but kept a safe distance from Ling Qingxue to show that he had no ill intentions.
He wore a gentle smile, showing no sign of hostility.
"Tang Yin?"
Ling Qingxue frowned slightly, a hint of wariness flashing in her eyes.
In this chaotic, scorching world of conflict, anyone else who appears nearby could be a potential enemy.
Moreover, Tang Yin was known for his shrewdness and strategic planning; who knew what he was up to?
Seeing Ling Qingxue's expression, Tang Yin gave a helpless smile:
“Miss Ling, you misunderstand. I am by no means someone who would take advantage of someone in distress. I just happened to be in the distance and witnessed the battle in the Nine Heavens region, and I also saw Chen Fei’s final halberd strike.”
At this point, a look of solemnity and apprehension involuntarily flashed across Tang Yin's eyes.
Clearly, Chen Fei's astonishing halberd strike had left an extremely deep impression on him as well.
"After that halberd strike, I saw you, Miss Ling, fleeing with serious injuries, so I followed you all the way here."
Tang Yin explained, "I didn't mean anything by it, I just wanted to discuss with you how to deal with Chen Fei next."
"Discuss?"
Ling Qingxue sneered, her gaze sweeping across Tang Yin's face:
"When we were fighting Chen Fei in the Nine Heavens region just now, since you were nearby, why didn't you intervene?"
If Tang Yin had joined the battle in time, the outcome might have been different with the combined strength of the six of them.
However, Tang Yin chose to stand by and watch, even intending to reap the benefits without lifting a finger.
Upon hearing this, Tang Yin's bitter smile deepened.
He remained silent for a moment before slowly saying, "Miss Ling, it's not that I'm unwilling to help. It's just that I feel that even if I were to join in, the outcome wouldn't be any different."
He raised his head, looking directly at Ling Qingxue, his tone becoming serious:
"Chen Fei's final halberd strike had already drawn upon the primordial power of the Blazing Sun World. The level of that power had already surpassed the realm of a half-step Heavenly Monarch."
Even if I had joined the battle, at most I would have just been one more person to bear the brunt of that halberd strike. In the end, Zhan Wuji and He Jinchuan were still eliminated, while you and I escaped severely wounded.
"even……"
Tang Yin paused, his voice lowering slightly, "If we're unlucky, we might not even be able to escape and could be eliminated by that single halberd strike."
Ling Qingxue fell silent.
As for betting that Chen Fei would be exhausted after unleashing that attack, giving them an opportunity to take advantage...
Ling Qingxue dared not gamble.
Because just now, they were gambling.
They bet that although Chen Fei was powerful, he was only at the peak of the Tai Cang Realm and could not possibly defeat the combined attack of the five top half-step Heavenly Monarchs on his own.
They bet that while Chen Fei's secret technique was extraordinary, it must come with a huge price and limitations. As long as they could persevere, they would surely be the ones to win in the end.
The results of it?
They lost their bet.
They lost completely.
Zhan Wuji and He Jinchuan were eliminated directly, Wen Muheng escaped with serious injuries, and she herself almost died there.
Having learned from past mistakes, who would dare to gamble a second time?
Who knows if Chen Fei still has any hidden trump cards? Who knows if he might suddenly unleash a devastating attack when he seems exhausted?
This Chen Fei is too bizarre, too strange, and cannot be measured by common sense.
Seeing that Ling Qingxue remained silent, Tang Yin knew that she had tacitly agreed with his statement.
He coughed lightly and continued, "However, Miss Ling, you don't need to be discouraged. I have carefully observed Chen Fei's battle and found that the reason he was able to unleash such powerful strength is largely because he made use of the special environment of the Nine Heavens Region."
"The ninth area is where the half of the spiritual material is placed, and it contains an extremely rich source of power from the Fiery Sun World."
Chen Fei's cultivation technique seemed extremely unique, capable of absorbing external energy to strengthen himself. During his battle with He Jinchuan, he gradually grasped the special primordial Dao rhythm within that ninth level of space.
Then, using his bizarre soul-cultivation technique, he forcibly analyzed and controlled that power, ultimately unleashing such an exaggerated attack.
Tang Yin's analysis is clear, logical, and meticulous.
"In other words, if he were in a different place, without the special environment of the Nine Realms, his strength wouldn't have become so exaggerated."
Tang Yin concluded: "Therefore, if we want to deal with him, we can no longer choose the area where the spiritual materials are placed as the battlefield."
Ideally, we should choose a place like where we are now, without any special energy enhancements.
Upon hearing this, Ling Qingxue nodded thoughtfully.
She recalled the entire process of fighting Chen Fei, and it was indeed as Tang Yin had said.
Although Chen Fei was very strong at the beginning, he wasn't that ridiculously strong.
He gradually adapted to the pressure of the rules of the ninth region during his battle with He Jinchuan, and began to absorb that power, which made him stronger and stronger, eventually unleashing that earth-shattering halberd strike.
You have a point.
Ling Qingxue spoke slowly, her tone still cold, but without the previous hostility, "If he were in a different place, his strength would indeed be greatly reduced."
"so,"
Seeing that Ling Qingxue agreed with his analysis, Tang Yin pressed on, saying, "What we need to do now is to find the other prodigies as soon as possible, and then unite to besiege and kill Chen Fei."
"No matter what, he is indeed very strong. We have to admit that. Even without the special environment of the ninth level, in a one-on-one fight, none of us would be his match."
Tang Yin's tone was very frank, "Therefore, we can only join forces. Let's first gather everyone's strength to drive him out of the Blazing Sun World. As for the remaining battles, after we've dealt with him, we can each rely on our own abilities to compete for the final rankings and spiritual materials."
Ling Qingxue remained silent for a moment, then finally nodded.
Although she was still somewhat unwilling, she knew that this was the most feasible solution at the moment.
If she doesn't agree to join forces, she'll likely be eliminated if she encounters Chen Fei alone.
Above the capital, the enormous sky clearly displayed the conversation between Ling Qingxue and Tang Yin, as well as their decision to join forces to kill Chen Fei.
"This...this script isn't right. Wasn't it supposed to be a chaotic free-for-all? How did it turn into everyone ganging up on Chen Fei?"
"There's nothing we can do. Chen Fei is just too strong. He's so strong that even geniuses like Ling Qingxue and Tang Yin have to put aside their pride and join forces against him."
"Yeah, think about it. Just now, Chen Fei took on five opponents single-handedly, eliminating three, driving away one, and seriously injuring another. With that kind of record, who would dare to challenge him one-on-one?"
"Then why not just hide?"
"Hiding means relying purely on luck; whoever Chen Fei finds first is out. Rather than being so passive, it's better to unite and be more proactive."
The entire capital city was in an unprecedented uproar because of Ling Qingxue, Tang Yin and others' decision to join forces to kill him.
A world scorching under the sun.
Outside the Ninefold Region.
Chen Fei didn't rush to leave to find other spiritual materials or opponents. He simply stood quietly at the edge of the crimson-gold platform, his eyes closed, as if sensing something.
Although his aura was not as powerful and vast as it had been at its peak, it was much more stable than it had been after he unleashed that halberd strike.
Moreover, if someone observes closely, they will find that the space around him seems to be experiencing extremely subtle fluctuations.
A wisp of pale red energy was constantly gathering from the surrounding void, flowing into his body like rivers flowing into the sea.
This energy is not ordinary primordial energy of heaven and earth, but the fundamental power of the blazing sun world. (End of Chapter)
