Immortality Starts With Diligence(Xianxia Litrpg)

614. The Blood Rain

The Dark Demon Lord's expression darkened slightly. He had initially thought everything would go smoothly, but since arriving in the Divine Realm, nothing had gone according to plan.

In the Supreme-level battles, he had even entered the fray himself, yet he was unable to break through and suppress the Supremes of the Divine Realm.

The Demon Emperors and numerous dark demons were charging forward, trying to conquer the Divine Realm. However, they too were now facing difficulties. It was utter chaos, and continuing this way meant imminent defeat for the Dark Demon Domain!

The Dark Demon Lord, who had always been invincible in battle, found this situation unprecedented. Although every invasion faced initial obstacles, he had always emerged victorious.

But now, with morale wavering across the Dark Demon Domain and many dark demons losing faith, it was crucial to boost morale. And nothing could lift spirits better than slaying a Supreme.

"If we could slay a Supreme, all previous disadvantages and shadows would be swept away!" He thought, "It seems I must resort to that measure. We must slay a Supreme from the Divine Realm!"

Many thoughts raced through the Dark Demon Lord's mind as he weighed his options. He harbored many secrets and numerous strategies.

However, he was reluctant to use these measures unless absolutely necessary, as some, once used, were gone forever. These were his trump cards, meant to save his life at critical moments.

But given the current situation, if the Dark Demon Domain wished to continue its invasion and if he wanted to crush the Divine Realm definitively, then he would have to employ his last resort—using his trump card to slay a Supreme.

"Fine, I have no choice but to use my last resort..." The next moment, the Dark Demon Lord took a deep breath.

"Swoosh."

Suddenly, something that resembled a heart appeared in his hand. It was incredibly sinister and pitch-black, its very sight discomforting.

With a sinister smile, he said, "This is the heart of the most powerful Destruction Beast from a realm I conquered. Even I was nearly annihilated by it at one point. Fortunately, I had the Heart of Dark Demons to rebirth myself. Now, let's see how you fare against this Heart of Destruction."

With that, the Dark Demon Lord hurled the Heart of Destruction towards one of the Supremes.

The Supremes of the Divine Realm were utterly shocked. Supremes differ significantly from True Immortals and Martial Ancestors; they have transcended the constraints of the Divine Realm and thus gained freedom.

However, this liberation also means they lose the means to be immortal and indestructible. Once their bodies are annihilated, they truly die, unlike the dark demons who can be reborn through the Heart of Dark Demons.

This seems like an advantage for the dark demons—they appear nearly unkillable.

However, this is not entirely the case. The advantage of the dark demons is also their greatest vulnerability. If the Heart of Dark Demons is destroyed, any dark demon, no matter where they are, will instantly die and be annihilated.

This means the Dark Demon Domain must keep its secrets extremely well-guarded. If their secrets are exposed and someone breaches the Dark Demon Domain and destroys the Heart of Dark Demons, it would be catastrophic for the entire realm, including the Dark Demon Lord.

Supremes do not have this vulnerability. Even if the Divine Realm were destroyed, a Supreme could traverse the chaos, seeking other realms to settle in. This is both a strength and a weakness.

When the Dark Demon Lord hurled the Heart of Destruction, it exploded violently upon impact.

"Boom."

The explosion itself wasn't tremendously powerful, but the dispersal of the destructive force was immense.

The Heart of Destruction, targeting a Supreme of the Divine Realm, hit and exploded with devastating effect. The targeted Supreme was not daunted by the explosive force of the Heart of Destruction.

However, the destructive power enveloped him like an impenetrable net, corroding incessantly. Even a Supreme could not withstand this terrifying destructive force. In an instant, the Supreme's body was annihilated.

The entire chaos suddenly fell silent, especially the Supremes of the Divine Realm. It seemed they could hardly believe what had just occurred. A Supreme had fallen!

Many Supremes had been born in the Divine Realm, and since their creation, none had ever perished—not one!

Some Supremes had left the Divine Realm to wander the chaos and had not returned for ages, but none had actually perished.

Now, a Supreme had fallen, and not just any Supreme, but the very ancient Original Dao Supreme, a venerable figure within the Divine Realm. Yet now, he had fallen.

The Dark Demon Lord, upon witnessing the fall of the Original Dao Supreme, finally revealed a trace of a smile on his face.

"Ha ha ha, excellent, a Supreme has finally fallen. Now, with one less Supreme in the Divine Realm, they are at a disadvantage. No matter how fiercely the others in the Divine Realm resist, as long as one Supreme falls, the whole Divine Realm is defeated."

As the Dark Demon Lord had anticipated after the fall of Original Dao Supreme, the other Supremes of the Divine Realm exchanged glances.

Immediately, a notion of retreat appeared in their eyes. Uncertain if the Dark Demon Lord possessed more such tactics. They were unwilling to continue risking their lives.

"Let's go!"

Thus, several Supremes of the Divine Realm immediately flew towards their realm...

The Dark Demon Lord merely narrowed his eyes slightly, opting not to pursue further. He indeed had more tactics at his disposal.

However, he chose not to use them. Their effectiveness was uncertain. Using them meant he would have no ace left to save his life. This was a great taboo! Regardless, he needed to keep an ace up his sleeve.

"You just mentioned a Martial Ancestor who has changed the situation on the battlefield of the Divine Realm?"

"Yes, the reports say so. Even the Great Emperor died at Lin Fei's hands, which speaks volumes about his extraordinary strength. Now, aside from the Supremes, it's hard to guarantee that anyone can surely kill him."

The Dark Demon Lord nodded and said, "Initial Demon Supreme, even the Nightmare Emperor died, and Nightmare was one of your subordinates, right? Sending more Emperors won't be effective.

Go to the Divine Realm yourself, and cut down that Lin Fei. Knowing he poses a threat, we should nip that threat in the bud! The Supremes of the Divine Realm have been driven back. For the time being, it's difficult for the Supremes of the Divine Realm to intervene directly. So, you can now strike without any inhibitions, and slay Lin Fei. By the time the Supremes of the Divine Realm react, Lin Fei will already be dead."

Initial Demon Supreme bowed respectfully, "Yes, Your Majesty. I will slay Lin Fei and clear all obstacles for our Dark Demon Domain."

"Go."

The Dark Demon Lord waved his hand slightly. Instantly, Initial Demon Supreme turned and flew towards the Divine Realm.

...

Divine Realm, the Yin-Yang Immortal Domain.

Since Lin Fei had slain the Nightmare Emperor, he had been rampantly sweeping through the Dark Demons within the Yin-Yang Immortal Domain. His achievements were indeed spectacular.

Lin Fei, on his own, had slain countless Dark Demons. He had repelled numerous waves of attacks. The number of Demon Emperors that died at his hands was almost too many to count. The numbers were simply too great.

Meanwhile, Lin Fei's Eternal Realm took the opportunity to devour a great amount of the essence of the Dark Demons' flesh and blood. This caused the Eternal Realm to brim with vitality.

A plethora of life forms appeared. The power of the Eternal Realm continued to rise. Just as the situation was looking up, suddenly, the void trembled. Then, almost imperceptibly, it began to rain.

Lin Fei stretched out his hand.

"Is this... blood rain?"

Lin Fei's eyes widened in disbelief.

Blood rain!

A tremendous change in the Divine Realm, it had even begun to rain blood. Surely, something earth-shattering had happened.

"Legend says, when a Supreme falls, blood rain appears. Could it all be true? Has a Supreme of the Divine Realm fallen?"

Even Lin Fei was slightly shaken. It showed how deep his shock ran!
