Chapter 2231 What can be done but cry out in vain?
Upon hearing this, the others couldn't help but smile wryly.
Let's fight each other?
If they had a choice, they would certainly prefer to fight each other!
After all, everyone here is a top-ten genius, who would want to gang up on someone whose cultivation level is lower than their own?
However, how could a peak Tai Cang Realm expert ride on the heads of this group of half-step Heavenly Monarchs and win the title of Tai Cang Dao?
Just thinking about it makes them feel even worse.
"Never mind."
Jiang Linyuan sighed and gripped his longsword tightly. "Let them surround and kill us. It's better than letting a peak Tai Cang Realm cultivator take the championship."
Although Zheng Yan and Shang Chi did not speak, they nodded silently in agreement.
"There's no point in saying more, let's go!" Ling Qingxue no longer hesitated. With a swift movement, she transformed into a streak of light and sped directly toward the direction from which the aura of the new rank spiritual material was emanating!
The others exchanged glances, then without further hesitation, they all followed behind her.
Six streaks of light, like six shooting stars streaking across the sky, rapidly approached Chen Fei's location!
Above the capital, the enormous sky clearly displayed the scene of Ling Qingxue and her six companions deciding to join forces to kill Chen Fei, as well as their conversation.
This scene sparked even more intense debate in the capital city.
"Six against one? And six half-step Heavenly Monarchs against one peak Tai Cang Realm cultivator?" A young cultivator's face was full of disdain.
"When Zhan Wuji and the others besieged Chen Fei before, it could be said that it was just a coincidence, a spur-of-the-moment decision. But now, they've actually gathered everyone and premeditatedly tried to ambush and kill Chen Fei! This is simply a sore loser!"
"Exactly! He has no sense of the dignity of a strong person at all!" someone nearby chimed in.
"If you can't beat them, you call for backup. What kind of behavior is that? Even if they win in the end and eliminate Chen Fei, don't they find the title of champion too hot to handle?"
That's not how you say it.
An older, experienced cultivator shook his head:
"The rules of this blazing world are inherently chaotic and unregulated warfare! Any means are permissible! Teaming up to kill may seem somewhat dishonorable, but it's still within the bounds of the rules!"
"That's right!"
Someone else chimed in: "Think about it, if it were outside, in a real life-or-death battle, or when fighting for some rare treasure, who would talk to you about the rules of fighting one-on-one?"
They will definitely unite all available forces and use every means to achieve their goals!
"Ling Qingxue and the others did the right thing! Knowing they couldn't win, they still foolishly went for a one-on-one fight. That's not bravery, that's stupidity! Truly intelligent people should be like them, knowing how to assess the situation and unite all forces that can be united to deal with the strongest enemy!"
Two opposing viewpoints clashed fiercely in the capital, neither able to convince the other. However, the fact remained that Ling Qingxue and her six companions had joined forces to kill Chen Fei.
A world scorching under the sun.
The core of that newly emerged nine-fold region.
Chen Fei stood in front of the half-dimensional spiritual material floating in mid-air and slowly extended his right hand.
His palm pierced through the hazy, mysterious light protecting the spiritual material and grasped the crystal that was crystal clear throughout.
It felt warm and smooth to the touch, and a powerful and pure Daoist aura flowed into his body along his arm, invigorating Chen Fei's spirit.
"Om..."
Within the Realm of Return to Nothingness, the other half of the spiritual material of the rank flew out automatically!
The two half-level spiritual materials slowly approached each other in mid-air, and finally gently touched each other!
"boom!"
A complete force of the world's origin, centered on the two merging spiritual materials, spread wildly in all directions.
That light was dazzling, even surpassing the eternal, inextinguishable crimson light in the sky above the blazing sun world.
Under Chen Fei's gaze, the two half-pieces of spiritual material seemed to melt and slowly began to merge together.
The boundaries between them became increasingly blurred, eventually disappearing completely, as if a miniature universe was slowly rotating, and a complete seventeenth-order low-grade spiritual material took shape!
The fusion of the two halves of spiritual material caused the primordial power of the entire blazing sun world to tremble.
At this moment, within this nine-fold region, the primordial fluctuations have become more pronounced and active than ever before.
Those originally obscure and difficult-to-understand rules and patterns, those originally elusive Daoist rhythms, were now magnified countless times and clearly presented to Chen Fei's perception.
Chen Fei pushed the Wanhua Guizhen Lingjian to its limit, absorbing, analyzing, and deducing these rare and profound mysteries of origin.
If Chen Fei wants to unleash sufficiently powerful combat strength at this moment, he must borrow the power of the primordial essence of the Blazing Sun World.
However, it is difficult to borrow them. It is okay within the area where the spiritual materials are located, but outside this area, it is almost impossible to borrow them.
However, the tremor of the primal power of the Blazing Sun World just now allowed Chen Fei to see something.
Chen Fei reached out and grabbed the seventeenth-grade low-level spiritual material that had already been fused.
The instant his palm touched the complete spiritual material, a stream of information surged into his sea of consciousness.
That was a passageway.
A passage leading to the capital.
In other words, if he wanted, he could activate the portal right now, leave the Fiery Sun World, and return to the Divine Capital.
Because he had already obtained a complete set of seventeenth-grade low-level spiritual materials.
According to the rules of the Grand Competition of Ten Thousand Sects, he can leave now, taking this complete spiritual material with him, and become one of the winners of this Grand Competition of Ten Thousand Sects.
Of course, he can also choose not to leave.
He can remain in this blazing world, holding this complete spiritual material, to acquire more.
Almost at the same moment that Chen Fei obtained the complete spiritual material and received the information that he could leave the Fiery Sun World, a golden ripple, like water, appeared on the sky above the capital city, where Chen Fei's figure was reflected!
The appearance of this ripple instantly silenced the billions of cultivators in the capital who were still fiercely debating whether it was appropriate for Ling Qingxue and the others to surround and kill Chen Fei!
"Chen Fei has already qualified to leave the Blazing Sun World?"
"He can definitely leave now!"
"But... he doesn't seem to be planning to leave immediately?"
In the capital city, an even more heated discussion erupted once again!
Everyone wanted to know what Chen Fei would choose: to quit while he was ahead, leave with the complete spiritual materials, and preserve this hard-won victory?
Or should we stay and risk being surrounded and killed by Ling Qingxue and her six companions, or even losing the spiritual materials, to compete for other things?
Just as the millions of cultivators in the Divine Capital were discussing this, a ripple suddenly appeared in the eternal crimson light above the sky of the Blazing Sun World.
Looking at these ripples, the meaning they contain allows everyone who sees them to instantly understand their message.
Those who obtain a complete rank spirit material may choose to continue the battle. If they manage to seize another complete rank spirit material amidst the chaotic battle, they can leave the battlefield with both materials.
The emergence of this information caused an uproar in the already turbulent capital city!
"Can we continue to compete for the second portion of the Rank Spiritual Material?"
"In other words, if Chen Fei is strong enough, he could even take away two complete sets of seventeenth-grade low-level spiritual materials by himself?"
"These...the rules are different from what we knew before."
"Yes! Didn't we say before that the top five would each receive a low-grade seventeenth-rank spiritual material? If Chen Fei takes two, what about the fifth-place winner? Won't they go home empty-handed?"
"The rules have changed! Or rather, these are the true rules of the chaotic war in the Fiery Sun World! What was announced before was only the most basic information! The true rules are only now being revealed!"
Various speculations circulated in the capital, but no one could be sure which one was correct.
But one thing is certain: Chen Fei has now become the focus of the entire Yan Yang world! His every move touches the hearts of millions of cultivators!
In a world of blazing sun.
Ling Qingxue, Tang Yin, Yuwen Xuan, Zheng Yan, Shang Chi, and Jiang Linyuan are rushing to the Ninefold Region where Chen Fei is located.
Just then, they suddenly sensed something, abruptly raised their heads, and looked up at the sky.
The meaning contained within those ripples was also clearly reflected in their perception.
"Continue the battle... and you may obtain a second spiritual material..."
After understanding the meaning of the ripples, the six people's expressions instantly turned extremely ugly!
If their previous decision to join forces to kill Chen Fei was mixed with some complex factors such as saving face and resentment, then at this moment, their reasons for killing Chen Fei have become crystal clear.
We absolutely cannot let Chen Fei take away the two complete sets of spiritual materials!
Chen Fei certainly deserves a complete set of seventeenth-grade low-level spiritual materials; with such strength, they have nothing to say.
But if Chen Fei takes two portions by himself, wouldn't the rest of the so-called geniuses become a laughing stock?
Moreover, if Chen Fei really took two portions, it would mean that one of the top five would go home empty-handed!
Without a word, they increased their speed once more, closing in furiously on Chen Fei's location!
In the core of the Ninefold Region, Chen Fei had just carefully stored away the complete set of spiritual materials and was now immersed in comprehending the power of the primordial energy of the Blazing Sun World.
They were trying to seize that fleeting opportunity during the fusion of the spiritual materials to further analyze the fundamental mysteries of this world.
However, at that moment, his brows suddenly furrowed slightly.
He could clearly feel that his connection to the omnipresent primal power of the blazing sun world around him was diminishing at an extremely rapid pace!
If he could previously clearly see those primordial forces flowing around him like streams, and even establish connections with them and draw them into his own hands...
Now, those primordial forces seem to be blocked by an invisible barrier, becoming blurry, distant, and elusive.
It would be almost impossible for him to draw upon and control these primal forces as easily as before.
"Is this the will of the Fiery Sun World restricting me?" Chen Fei's brows quickly relaxed.
He guessed the reason.
With his peak Tai Cang Realm cultivation, he forcibly drew upon the primal power of the Yan Yang World, unleashing terrifying combat power far exceeding his own realm. This was something that the Myriad Sects Grand Competition probably hadn't anticipated.
The powerful figure behind the scenes who controlled this competition clearly did not expect that such an anomaly would appear.
However, they did not forcibly sever his connection with the source power while he was engaged in a fierce battle with Zhan Wuji and others.
Doing so would not only seem too deliberate, but would also affect the fairness of the battle.
Therefore, they chose a more subtle time, after he obtained a complete set of spiritual materials and was qualified to leave the Fiery Sun World, before they began to weaken his connection with the power of origin.
This way, it won't seem too abrupt, and it also gives him a choice.
At this moment, Chen Fei faced two completely different paths.
The first option is to quit while you're ahead, immediately activate the coordinates leading to the capital, leave the Blazing Sun World, and end your journey in this Grand Tournament of Ten Thousand Sects.
He has already obtained a complete set of seventeenth-grade low-level spiritual materials, which is a glorious achievement that countless people would envy.
He can take this spiritual material back to Danchen Sect, devote himself to cultivation, and try to break through to the Heavenly Monarch realm.
This road is safe, secure, and without any risk.
The second option is to stay and try to compete for the second complete set of seventeenth-grade low-level spiritual materials.
But this road is fraught with danger.
First of all, his overwhelming strength just now largely relied on borrowing the power of the Fiery Sun World's origin.
Now that this borrowing has been restricted, his strength will inevitably be greatly reduced.
Although his own foundation is still profound, it is no longer possible for him to recreate the scene of one person suppressing five top-level half-step Heavenly Monarchs.
Secondly, the six top geniuses, including Ling Qingxue, Tang Yin, and Yuwen Xuan, may have already reached a consensus.
Once he is cornered by them, given his current condition, he will likely find it difficult to withstand the combined attack of six people.
More importantly, if he chooses to stay and is eliminated in the next battle, the complete set of spiritual materials he has already obtained will be forcibly stripped away and become the spoils of others.
In other words, if he chooses to stay but fails, he will have gained nothing and all his efforts will be in vain!
Above the capital, the sky that reflected Chen Fei's figure clearly presented all these changes to the eyes of millions of cultivators.
As the sky revealed, the power of the Great Dao, which had been constantly flowing with the power within Chen Fei's body, suddenly began to become intermittent and eventually stopped completely. At that moment, the entire capital city fell silent.
"Look! Chen Fei's primordial power... has disappeared?"
"What happened? It was fine just now, how did it suddenly disappear?"
"Could it be that the Fiery Sun World is restricting him? Preventing him from continuing to borrow the power of origin?"
"Very likely! After all, with his peak Tai Cang Realm cultivation, borrowing the power of the world's origin is already somewhat unfair! The Yan Yang World certainly won't let him continue like this!"
"This is terrible! Without the support of the power of origin, Chen Fei's strength will definitely be greatly reduced! How can he fight against Ling Qingxue and the others?"
"Yes! He was able to fight five against one just now largely because he had the advantage of the Great Dao's Origin! Now that the Great Dao's Origin is gone, he will be defeated if surrounded and killed!" (End of Chapter)
