Immortality Starts With Diligence(Xianxia Litrpg)

629. All Seven Supremes were Shocked

"What, we were really suppressed?" one of the Supremes exclaimed in disbelief. "Inconceivable! A mere Martial Ancestor suppressed seven of us? And for not just a fleeting moment?"

"What kind of technique is this? Once the mind is suppressed, one has no defenses left, becoming a sitting duck for any attack."

"Ordinary attacks are one thing, but what if it were an attack from a peer?" another added. "Such attacks could be fatal, potentially leading to our downfall!"

The astonishment was palpable among the Supremes. Though they appeared unharmed, their situation had been perilously dire. Had the Azure Emperor Supreme chosen to strike, he could have potentially eliminated some of them, given their complete vulnerability under Lin Fei's mental suppression.

"How do you feel?" the Azure Emperor Supreme asked, a half-smile playing on his lips, sensing their shaken demeanors.

One of the Supremes, his eyes glinting with barely restrained excitement, quickly asked, "Azure Emperor Supreme, how long did Lin Fei suppress us?"

"Six breaths," the Azure Emperor responded, not bothering to conceal the truth. "For some with weaker mental fortitude, it could even extend to seven or eight breaths."

"Six breaths?" another Supreme murmured. "That's more than enough, truly more than enough! Six breaths is sufficient time to completely annihilate a Supreme."

"And more importantly, as long as Lin Fei is with us, we are nearly invincible," added another. "With six breaths of suppression, we could easily escape if we are outmatched. Even though the Dark Demon Domain has many Supremes, how many can they dispatch at once? When their numbers increase, but Lin Fei can suppress them for about three breaths, that alone would suffice!"

"You're right," agreed the Azure Emperor Supreme. "This could be our only hope, even a turning point for the Divine Realm!"

The Supremes, veterans of countless battles, fully recognized the strategic advantage Lin Fei's Illusory Realm provided.

With Lin Fei's ability, as long as he remained unharmed, the eight Supremes need not fear any number of opponents from the Dark Demon Domain.

"So, my friends, do you agree to engage in a grand battle of Supremes with the Dark Demon Domain?" the Azure Emperor Supreme asked eagerly, his eyes alight with anticipation.

"Of course!" they responded. "With the Illusory Realm, what do we have to fear? However, we must ensure Lin Fei's safety at all costs. Only then can we properly contend with the Supremes of the Dark Demon Domain."

"Indeed," another chimed in, "I suggest that in this upcoming grand battle with the Dark Demon Domain, we must do everything possible to eliminate at least one if not two or even three Supremes. Only by doing so can we boost the morale of the Divine Realm and truly intimidate the Dark Demon Domain!"

"Let us seize this opportunity for the Divine Realm to catch its breath."

These Supremes shared the same sentiment as the Azure Emperor Supreme. Now aware of Lin Fei's capabilities and unique techniques, they harbored no fear and even felt empowered to expand the battleground, hoping to draw in as many Supremes from the Dark Demon Domain as possible.

"Leave the protection of Brother Lin to me," spoke up a Supreme with white hair and beard.

"With Black Tortoise Supreme protecting Lin, there is certainly nothing to worry about!" another added, relieved.

"That's right, with fellow daoist Black Tortoise acting, we all feel at ease. There's no better candidate than Black Tortoise Supreme," confirmed yet another.

Seeing Black Tortoise Supreme—renowned for his defensive capabilities—volunteer, the other Supremes felt reassured. Among them, none could match Black Tortoise in defense.

As long as Black Tortoise was willing to protect Lin Fei, even several Supremes from the Dark Demon Domain would not be able to harm him.

"However, there's still a tricky issue," one Supreme pointed out. "How do we lure out those Supremes from the Dark Demon Domain? Ideally, the more, the better."

Indeed, this was not an easy task. It's not as simple as wanting a battle and having one, especially now that the Supremes were eager to engage with more Supremes from the Dark Demon Domain, hoping to inflict heavy damage or even annihilate them. This would require a monumental battle that could draw out the Supremes from the Dark Demon Domain, necessitating some strategic planning.

"This isn't difficult," Azure Emperor Supreme proposed confidently. "The Dark Demon Domain has control over the Yin-Yang Immortal Domain. Then let's go to the Yin-Yang Immortal Domain and wreak havoc, and slaughter extensively. It so happens that Lin Fei also needs a substantial amount of dark demon life essence to enhance his strength

With our power, committing widespread slaughter in the Yin-Yang Immortal Domain, if the Supremes of the Dark Demon Domain do not intervene, then all the dark demons in the realm will surely be annihilated by us.

Such a heavy toll would be unbearable for the Dark Demon Domain! Therefore, once we act, those Supremes from the Dark Demon Domain will surely step in to stop us, and they might even use this opportunity to try to capture us all at once. Wouldn't that achieve our goal?"

The method proposed by the Azure Emperor Supreme sparked a visible reaction among the seven Supremes. They saw it as a good strategy. Occupying the Yin-Yang Immortal Domain had its advantages and disadvantages for the Dark Demon Domain.

The pros were obvious, but the cons, as the Azure Emperor Supreme pointed out, involved the inevitability of a response should they attack the Yin-Yang Immortal Domain.

This meant that the Dark Demon Domain had staked a claim in the Divine Realm, a claim they would not easily relinquish. However, this scenario stripped the Divine Realm's Supremes of many of their reservations.

"Let's prepare for one day," one Supreme suggested. "Tomorrow, we'll all head to the Yin-Yang Immortal Domain."

Thus, the eight Supremes agreed to depart the next day for the Yin-Yang Immortal Domain. Watching the seven Supremes leave, the grand hall of the Ancient Covenant headquarters was left with only the Azure Emperor Supreme and Lin Fei.

"Azure Emperor Supreme, can we really succeed?" Lin Fei asked.

"We must succeed," the Azure Emperor Supreme replied firmly. "And we can only afford to succeed. If we fail, the consequences are unimaginable. The Divine Realm might fall into the hands of the dark demon forces prematurely. Therefore, this battle is one where we cannot afford to lose."

The Azure Emperor Supreme's gaze was profound, a hint of resolve flickering in his eyes. This battle was critical—they could not afford a defeat, for the stakes were too high for the Divine Realm.

Lin Fei fell silent. This battle was fraught with danger for him as well. Even under the protection of Black Tortoise Supreme, the risks were significant.

Lin Fei's Illusory Realm had advanced, but his Eternal Realm was still in the process of transformation—it was close yet still incomplete.

"If only my Eternal Realm could transform," Lin Fei pondered. That transformation would truly enable him to engage in battles among Supremes.

Returning to his chamber, Lin Fei accessed his system panel to check his status:

Host: Lin Fei

Martial Realm: Martial Ancestor

World Level: Minor World (Progress: 76%)

Illusory Realm: True Immortal level

Lin Fei's Eternal Realm had progressed but had not yet reached 100% completion.

"I still need a large amount of the essence of dark demon life," Lin Fei thought to himself. "If I could obtain the essence of those Supremes from the Dark Demon Domain, perhaps my Eternal Realm could immediately transform..."

A glint of determination shone in Lin Fei's eyes. Tomorrow's journey to the Yin-Yang Immortal Domain could be his opportunity. If even one Supreme from the Dark Demon Domain were to fall, Lin Fei's Eternal Realm might have the chance to transform. What power level could he achieve once his Eternal Realm surged? Lin Fei could hardly imagine.

Perhaps, once transformed, Lin Fei could rival a Supreme. With that thought, Lin Fei closed his eyes to meditate, quietly waiting for what the next day would bring.
