Immortality Starts With Diligence(Xianxia Litrpg)

625. The Azure Emperor Supreme’s Gift!

At the residence of Lin Fei in the Ancient Covenant, he was greeted by the Azure Emperor Supreme, now the sole Supreme of the Ancient Covenant. After all, the White Cloud Supreme had left the Divine Realm and ventured into the chaos, his whereabouts unknown, perhaps never to return.

"Lin Fei, the situation is becoming quite dire," the Azure Emperor Supreme began. "From what I know, about two-thirds of the Supremes have chosen to leave. In the entire Divine Realm, fewer than ten Supremes remain. Facing the full-scale invasion of the Dark Demon Domain, this handful of Supremes can hardly make a difference. The time left for the Divine Realm is running short. The Lord of the Dark Demons has not made a move yet; he is likely gathering forces. Perhaps he plans to take a decisive action to completely conquer the Divine Realm!"

Lin Fei's expression grew solemn upon hearing this. Indeed, the situation was increasingly severe. The time remaining for him, or indeed for anyone in the Divine Realm, was truly running out. Once the Dark Demon Domain was ready, their next assault might spell the end for the Divine Realm.

"Is there really no way, Supreme? Isn't it said that becoming a Ruler can change the tide, that the Dark Demon Domain wouldn't be able to do anything then? Could you or another Supreme become the Ruler of the Divine Realm?" Lin Fei asked.

Becoming a Ruler might be a solution, or finding a way to become one could be crucial. At least, it would significantly increase the chances of preserving the Divine Realm.

The Azure Emperor Supreme shook his head, "Difficult, or nearly impossible. To become a Ruler, one needs profound insight. Despite many years of contemplation, which among us Supremes has truly understood?

None, not a single one! Thus, without understanding, accumulating resources means nothing. Unless there is a sudden flash of insight one day, perhaps that could lead to becoming a Ruler. But such a possibility is exceedingly slim..."

The Azure Emperor Supreme understood clearly the difference a Ruler makes to a realm. A realm with a Ruler stands on the invincible ground, unafraid of exposing its position in the vast chaos. Even if there is an invasion, a Ruler is well equipped to handle it.

For instance, the Dark Demon Domain. Is it truly stronger than the Divine Realm? That's not necessarily the case. It is merely because the Dark Demon Domain has birthed a Ruler that it continues to expand and invade other realms within the chaos.

Without a Ruler, the Divine Realm finds itself continuously retreating in the face of invasions from the Dark Demon Domain, now backed into a corner where it faces a fight for its very survival. This is the critical difference that having a Ruler makes—a realm with a Ruler is a completely different proposition.

"If we cannot bring forth a Ruler, the Divine Realm is indeed in peril..." Lin Fei murmured softly.

"Dangerous? Perhaps," the Azure Emperor Supreme agreed. "But, Lin Fei, hope lies with you. The power to suppress the mind that you displayed before the Initial Demon Supreme, was that from the Saber World?"

"Saber World?" Lin Fei pondered momentarily. "No, that was the Illusory Realm. It is somewhat similar to the Saber World, evolved step by step from it."

"Your Illusory Realm is quite remarkable, somewhat akin to the dreams of the Great Dream. If your power of the Illusory Realm continues to grow, perhaps a time will come when it can suppress the minds of several, even many Supremes. That would indeed change the situation dramatically."

A flicker of unusual light passed through the Azure Emperor Supreme's eyes. Suppressing the minds of several, even dozens of Supremes was an audacious thought.

No one would have considered it, given that Lin Fei was only a Martial Ancestor. Even in the presence of the Initial Demon Supreme, he could merely preserve his life.

Yet, suppressing dozens of Supremes? Was that even possible?

However, Lin Fei understood the potential of his Illusory Realm well. He felt that it might indeed have limitless prospects. What the Azure Emperor Supreme suggested was not entirely impossible—in fact, it was quite plausible.

"Supreme, although my Illusory Realm is indeed miraculous," Lin Fei replied, "to further enhance it, I need a substantial amount of True Monarch-level world laws. And those are not easy to find."

"True Monarch-level world laws?" The Azure Emperor Supreme shook his head slightly. "That's going to be difficult. I don't know of many True Monarch-level worlds. With the current situation, searching for True Monarch-level worlds one by one is too challenging. Does it have to be True Monarch-level world laws? Wouldn't True Immortal-level world laws suffice?"

"True Immortal-level world laws? Supreme, do you have True Immortal-level world laws?" Lin Fei suddenly became excited.

True Immortal-level world laws! If there were indeed True Immortal-level world laws available, what need would there be for True Monarch-level world laws? A single True Immortal-level world law could be worth a hundred, no, even several hundred True Monarch-level world laws!

Unfortunately, while Lin Fei knew of True Immortal-level worlds, he was unable to obtain True Immortal-level world laws.

After all, even in the Ancient Continent, where power is vast, not just Lin Fei but even Supremes cannot simply take world laws.

Unless a True Immortal-level world is on the brink of collapse, then the Supremes might have a chance to obtain its world laws.

However, from what the Azure Emperor Supreme implied, there were indeed True Immortal-level world laws available.

Seeing Lin Fei's eager eyes, the Azure Emperor Supreme smiled slightly and said, "Coincidentally, I do have a True Immortal-level world law here! Not just world laws, but also many other True Immortal-level laws. Originally, when a True Immortal-level world was nearing collapse, countless Supremes fought to seize its resources.

While others scrambled for origins, I seized some laws and devoted myself to their study, hoping to gain insights to become the Ruler of the Divine Realm. Unexpectedly, I never gained such insights. However, these laws have now found their usefulness."

With that, the Azure Emperor Supreme extended his right hand. A faint glow briefly flickered in his palm, and then a world law materialized. It was a True Immortal-level world law, emitting a terrifying aura of power.

The difference between this law and those of lesser worlds, or even True Monarch-level worlds that Lin Fei had encountered, was vast—like heaven and earth.

Even Lin Fei felt the immense pressure from this True Immortal-level world law, almost feeling suppressed by its force. This clearly demonstrated the strength of this world law!

"Supreme, this world law is incredibly important to me!" Lin Fei exclaimed. "I might try to integrate it into my Illusory Realm. If successful, I might truly be able to suppress the minds of Supremes. However, if possible, I would also need a great deal of dark demon life essence, preferably from powerful beings."

The Azure Emperor Supreme nodded, understanding his request. "Life essence, you say? Those creatures from the Dark Demon Domain are indeed excellent sources of such essence!"

A sharp glint flashed in his eyes.

"Lin Fei, you try to integrate this into your Illusory Realm," the Azure Emperor Supreme instructed. "I will make a trip to the Yin-Yang Immortal Domain."

With that, the Azure Emperor Supreme vanished in a flash, leaving Lin Fei alone.

Lin Fei stood silently, holding the True Immortal-level world law in his hand, filled with anticipation. "I hope this works..." He took a deep breath and deployed his Illusory Realm.

"Let's begin."

The next moment, the Illusory Realm descended, swiftly enveloping the True Immortal-level world law.
