Immortality Starts With Diligence(Xianxia Litrpg)

636. Repelling the Dark Demon Domain!

"Very well," the Dark Demon Lord declared a note of concession in his tone. "Divine Realm's Martial Ancestor, Lin Fei, I will remember you. Let's go!"

With a serene smile, Lin Fei watched as the Dark Demon Lord, taking the initiative, led the Supremes away. This scene brought a hint of joy to the faces of Azure Emperor and the other Divine Realm Supremes.

For the first time, the Dark Demon Lord had retreated voluntarily. Even during the heyday of the Divine Realm, when all the Supremes were deployed, the Dark Demon Lord had never retreated on his own.

But now, facing Lin Fei alone, he had chosen to withdraw. This indicated one thing: the Dark Demon Lord could not contend with Lin Fei.

Moreover, the threat Lin Fei posed had made the Dark Demon Lord exceedingly wary. Fearing the risk of a desperate fight, he had ultimately dared not engage Lin Fei to the death.

This time, they had won. The Divine Realm had triumphed!

"Lin Fei, I knew you could do it!" Azure Emperor exclaimed. "With this defeat of the Dark Demon Domain, I believe they won't make any moves for a long time. At least, not until they find a way to counter you."

"Lin Fei, are you really still just a Martial Ancestor?" many Supremes wondered curiously. If Lin Fei had become a Supreme, those of the Divine Realm would surely sense it. But they felt nothing.

Lin Fei remained silent but mentally called up the system interface, which appeared before only his eyes.

Host: Lin Fei

Martial Realm: Martial Ancestor

World Level: True Monarch-level World (Progress: 0%)

Illusory Realm: Supreme Level

Lin Fei saw that his world level had evolved from a minor world to a True Monarch-level world.

Indeed, it had transformed. The Illusory Realm had also ascended from the True Immortal level to that of a Supreme.

Otherwise, how could he have suppressed a Supreme?

However, the system panel still indicated that Lin Fei's martial status was that of a Martial Ancestor, not a Supreme. Thus,` Lin Fei was indeed not yet a Supreme.

"I should still be considered a Martial Ancestor," Lin Fei stated clearly. "To become a Supreme, one must fully comprehend their own Dao to its extremity, naturally achieving the status of a Supreme. The Dao of a Supreme must be powerful enough to dominate the Dao of the Divine Realm.

Currently, my world's Dao is not capable of overwhelming the Divine Realm's Dao. Moreover, I feel that I am far from reaching the pinnacle of the Dao. Therefore, I remain a Martial Ancestor.

However, perhaps due to the uniqueness of my Eternal Realm, although I am still a Martial Ancestor, my strength is comparable to that of a Supreme."

Lin Fei was forthright in his explanation. This was not something he could conceal. After all, his ability to slay a Supreme was evident to everyone.

Moreover, another critical point was that the power of Lin Fei's Eternal Realm was undoubtedly on par with that of a Supreme. Otherwise, even with the Illusory Realm, he would not be able to slay a Supreme.

Not a Supreme, yet possessing strength comparable to one—wasn't this battling beyond one's level?

For a moment, the faces of Azure Emperor and the others wore a mix of excitement and shock. Had there ever been an instance in the history of the Divine Realm where a Martial Ancestor could battle beyond their level and defeat a Supreme?

Typically, Supremes were supremely powerful, capable of overwhelming anyone below their rank. The disparity was vast, like an insurmountable chasm. Yet now, Lin Fei had crossed this chasm, fought beyond his level, and even slain a Supreme.

"However, Lin Fei, we still cannot affect the Dark Demon Domain," Azure Emperor continued solemnly. "At least, with our current strength, we cannot drive out the Dark Demon Domain. This is only a temporary alleviation of the crisis. If your strength could advance further, even becoming a Supreme, then even the Dark Demon Lord would not be your match in the Divine Realm."

"Whatever cultivation resources you need next, we will gather them for you. Only with the enhancement of your strength can we truly save the entire Divine Realm!" Azure Emperor spoke with a grave expression, and his words also represented the stance of the other seven Supremes.

After all, the facts were right before their eyes. If Lin Fei, as a Martial Ancestor, could slay a Supreme, what might he achieve as a Supreme? Could he possibly rival the Ruler?

Even if he couldn't match the Ruler, handling the Dark Demon Domain should be feasible. Therefore, regarding the Azure Emperor's promise to help Lin Fei collect resources for his cultivation, there was no dissent; they all agreed unanimously!

"Cultivation resources?" Lin Fei mused. "True Monarch-level world laws, or even True Immortal-level world laws. As for the essence of flesh, I'm not sure if I still need it. Let me return and familiarize myself with the current state of the Eternal Realm, then I'll give a response to the Supremes."

"Alright, let's head back for now!"

With that, the eight Supremes, along with Lin Fei, returned to Ancient City in the triumphant posture of victors.

Azure Emperor also timely utilized the Ancient Covenant to spread the news of their victory over the Dark Demon Domain. This was a crucial moment to boost the morale and confidence of the Divine Realm, and they spared no details. The grand feat of slaying two Supremes of the Dark Demon Domain was broadcast throughout the Divine Realm.

Moreover, as the news spread, the entire Divine Realm came to know of Lin Fei's ability to slay Supremes while merely a Martial Ancestor. This greatly bolstered the people's confidence.

Merely a Martial Ancestor, and yet Lin Fei was so powerful—what heights could he reach once he became a Supreme?

Once Lin Fei achieved the status of a Supreme, he would surely be capable of completely expelling the Dark Demon Domain!

This logic was clear to the people of the Divine Realm, and surely, the Dark Demon Domain was also aware of this.

"Boom."

At that moment, in a stronghold of the Dark Demon Domain within the Yin-Yang Immortal Domain, the Dark Demon Lord furiously slammed his palm onto the floor of the grand hall.

Instantly, the floor cracked. A nameless rage brewed in his heart, leaving him deeply agitated. His mood was foul.

Inside the grand hall, filled with the Supremes of the Dark Demon Domain, none spoke at that moment. Their expressions were grave.

This time, they had been utterly defeated, bested by a single individual, and even just a Martial Ancestor. This was a perilous sign.

"Your Majesty, Lin Fei of the Divine Realm is a tremendous threat that must be eliminated!" one of the Supremes exclaimed. "Lin Fei is currently only a Martial Ancestor, yet he can kill a Supreme. If he truly becomes a Supreme, what chance will we stand? By then, not to mention occupying the Divine Realm, even our own Dark Demon Domain may not be safe."

Many Supremes had also realized this critical issue, and their expressions changed accordingly. Indeed, with Lin Fei's potential, now as a Martial Ancestor, he can kill a Supreme. If he were to become a Supreme, wouldn't he rival the Ruler?

Moreover, he could potentially exert strength comparable to that of the Ruler anywhere. Wouldn't that mean their stronghold, the Dark Demon Domain, could also be in danger?

The threat to the Dark Demon Domain had the Supremes naturally worried.

The Dark Demon Lord fell silent. He no longer displayed his anger but remained still and speechless. He, too, had recognized the immense threat posed by Lin Fei.

A Martial Ancestor this powerful could indeed threaten the Dark Demon Domain once he ascended to a Supreme. This was something the Dark Demon Lord absolutely could not allow. He would never permit Lin Fei to pose a threat to his realm.

Although Lin Fei seemed to still have some way to go before becoming a Supreme, who could guarantee that he wouldn't achieve that status soon?

"We must kill Lin Fei!" declared the Dark Demon Lord. "But with our current means, we cannot guarantee a hundred percent success in killing him. It seems I must make a trip back."

"I need to summon the Dark Demon Domain's supreme treasure, we must spare no expense to eliminate Lin Fei!"

A fierce light flashed in the eyes of the Dark Demon Lord as he made his decision.
