624. Encountering the Initial Demon Supreme Again!
624. Encountering the Initial Demon Supreme Again!
Lin Fei once again faced the Initial Demon Supreme.
This time, the Initial Demon Supreme was thoroughly prepared, resolved not to underestimate Lin Fei and allow him to escape again.
With a mighty strike, Lin Fei tensed up, feeling almost as if he were suffocating. At any moment, the might of the Supreme was terrifying indeed!
At least, for now, Lin Fei had not yet transformed, and the Eternal Realm had not evolved; thus, he was far from being a match for the Supreme. All he could do now was to hold the line!
The Azure Emperor Supreme was about to make a move. But suddenly, another Supreme appeared in the void.
This Supreme swiftly intercepted the Azure Emperor Supreme and said with a smile, "Azure Emperor Supreme, your opponent is me!"
The Azure Emperor Supreme's expression darkened.
Two Dark Demon Supremes—unexpectedly, this time, the Initial Demon Supreme had become shrewd, bringing another Supreme just in case. And now, his preparations were indeed proving useful.
Upon witnessing this scene, the Initial Demon Supreme's face revealed a hint of a smile. He sneered, "See, Lin Fei? The Azure Emperor Supreme you're relying on can't save you. Today, no one can save you!"
Lin Fei glanced around, narrowing his eyes slightly, and said coldly, "Is that so? Initial Demon Supreme, you couldn't kill me the first time, and you won't kill me now!"
Lin Fei's goal was to rescue the seven True Immortals and Martial Ancestors. And for now, the seven True Immortals and Martial Ancestors were still alive. That was the silver lining. He just needed to get them out.
As for the Initial Demon Supreme, Lin Fei had no intentions of confronting him now. He didn't yet have the power to face a Supreme. But he did have the ability to preserve his life and escape in the presence of a Supreme, and that was enough!
"Illusory Realm!"
Without hesitation, Lin Fei invoked the Illusory Realm.
"Boom."
The Illusory Realm descended, suddenly enveloping the Initial Demon Supreme.
"Ha ha ha, you used this trick last time. Now I am prepared, your method of suppressing the mind will not hold me back anymore!"
Seeing the Illusory Realm descend, the Initial Demon Supreme was not surprised. He had prepared for it. Regardless, he allowed the Illusory Realm to envelop him.
"Buzz."
But when the Illusory Realm truly descended and enveloped the Initial Demon Supreme, his expression suddenly changed dramatically.
"How could this power that suppresses the mind be so strong?"
The Initial Demon Supreme had just tried to break free from the Illusory Realm. He indeed had some preparations, even carrying some artifacts that could strengthen the mind with him.
However, the Initial Demon Supreme forgot—Or perhaps underestimated. He could make preparations in advance, but couldn't Lin Fei enhance the power of the Illusory Realm?
In fact, Lin Fei had significantly increased the potency of the Illusory Realm. It was far superior to before.
The Initial Demon Supreme was still measuring this Illusory Realm by the standards of the last. That was bound to lead to his downfall. Even, a complete rout!
In the blink of an eye, the Initial Demon Supreme's gaze became muddled. At the same time, Lin Fei's Eternal Realm instantly spread in all directions.
"Not good! Initial Demon, wake up!"
The Supreme of the Dark Demon Domain, who was battling the Azure Emperor Supreme, changed his expression instantly. He could not have anticipated that the Initial Demon Supreme would once again fall into confusion.
Evidently, he was again suppressed by Lin Fei's unique technique that targeted the mind. He attempted to rouse the Initial Demon Supreme.
It had some effect.
The Initial Demon Supreme struggled. However, Lin Fei's Eternal Realm spread rapidly. In the blink of an eye, it had encompassed the seven True Immortals and Martial Ancestors.
"Azure Emperor Supreme, let's go!"
Lin Fei did not hesitate. He immediately shattered the void.
"Whoosh."
In the next moment, Lin Fei's Illusory Realm and Eternal Realm suddenly contracted.
Lin Fei plunged into the void. In an instant, he disappeared without a trace.
The Initial Demon Supreme also suddenly came to his senses. His expression was ugly. Clearly, he understood what had just occurred. Lin Fei had once again escaped right from under his nose, in full view of everyone. He was even powerless to stop it.
"Damn it! How could he succeed again? Is my mind really that fragile? No, it's Lin Fei, he has grown stronger..."
The Initial Demon Supreme's expression was grim and unpleasant.
Lin Fei had grown stronger again and in such a short time? If this continued, once Lin Fei truly became a Supreme, the consequences would be unimaginable.
The Azure Emperor Supreme had witnessed all of Lin Fei's maneuvers. Seeing that Lin Fei's Illusory Realm could even trap the Initial Demon Supreme, even if it was only for a short time, it was enough!
With such a method, it would be very difficult for a Supreme to kill Lin Fei. At least, when facing most Supremes, Lin Fei could retreat comfortably.
"Whoosh."
Seeing Lin Fei had left, the Azure Emperor Supreme hesitated no longer. He also traversed the void to leave. As a fellow Supreme, the Azure Emperor Supreme, when deciding to leave, let alone two Supremes of the Dark Demon Domain, even three or five would not be able to detain him.
Supremes are not easily killed or destroyed!
Unless the power completely overwhelms or specifically counters them, no one can confine a Supreme, much less slay one. Even the Lord of the Dark Demons relied on his ultimate trump card. Only then was he able to slay the Original Dao Supreme... but that was a one-time event.
"Initial Demon, you have failed again. This time, you were fully prepared and even used the True Immortals and Martial Ancestors of the Ancient Covenant as bait. Yet, under these circumstances, you still couldn't kill Lin Fei. This matter, you can explain to the Lord yourself."
With that, the Supreme of the Dark Demon Domain also left, leaving only the Initial Demon Supreme grinding his teeth in the darkness, his body radiating murderous intent.
"Lin Fei... next time, I will surely kill you!"
Although the Initial Demon Supreme harbored a deep hatred for Lin Fei, he was also acutely aware of the strength of Lin Fei's Illusory Realm, which could suppress his spirit.
Unless the Lord would bestow upon him some precious treasures specifically to strengthen his mental will, he would never be able to kill Lin Fei, no matter how many times they met.
Despite his reluctance, the Initial Demon Supreme had no choice but to leave. Even with thorough preparations, he was utterly defeated. He now had to consider how to face the Lord's wrath upon his return.
...
"Whoosh."
Lin Fei returned to the Ancient City. He moved the seven True Immortals and Martial Ancestors out of the Eternal Realm. The seven True Immortal Martial Ancestors glanced around and smiled.
"It's Ancient City, we are saved!"
"We didn't die after all, and it's all thanks to Martial Ancestor Lin."
"Martial Ancestor Lin, today was really dangerous, you took quite a risk. Next time, please don't take such risks."
"Indeed, if we had died, it would have been just us. But Martial Ancestor Lin, you are the hope of the entire Divine Realm, don't take such risks!"
"However, we must thank Martial Ancestor Lin no matter what..."
The seven True Immortal Martial Ancestors bowed and expressed their gratitude to Lin Fei. Especially the three Martial Ancestors. They were truly prepared to die in battle. They didn't expect to still be alive in the end. And to be well. Their gratitude towards Lin Fei was genuine.
"A trivial matter. You were searching for the essence of the Dark Demon's life for me; how could I stand by and watch you die? Besides, you all saw it this time. The Initial Demon Supreme cannot do anything to me. Even when facing a Supreme, I can retreat with my whole body!"
Hearing this, everyone smiled. Being able to preserve life in the presence of a Supreme, to some extent, they were now regarded as equals to a Supreme.
It seemed they were not mistaken. Lin Fei was indeed the hope of the Ancient Covenant and even the entire Divine Realm!
