Chapter 2056: Domain vs. Cosmic Consciousness

Chapter 2056: Chapter 2056: Domain vs. Cosmic Consciousness

"How is this possible?!" Silver Eyebrow Venerable jumped up first, expressing disbelief.

The Golden Colossal Ape mobilized a Heavenly Venerable spirit fragment whose fundamental combat power was comparable to that of a quasi-Heavenly Venerable possessing thirty times the strength of an ordinary Invincible Supreme, along with a domain that suppressed opponents akin to an adult fighting a child.

However, despite having such an advantage, the Golden Colossal Ape was actually knocked away by Mo Ying and Huo Yunjie!

"Incredible!" White Ape exclaimed in shock.

"Fifth junior brother, did you hold back?" Qingyuan frowned, looking towards the Golden Colossal Ape that had been sent flying.

In mid-air.

The Golden Colossal Ape glanced at his numb arm, then at the longsword in his hand that was constantly vibrating, his pupils involuntarily widened, and he suddenly looked at Mo Ying and Huo Yunjie.

"No!"

"I didn’t hold back!"

"In fact, I secretly used the domain to try to immobilize Mo Ying and Huo Yunjie, yet they weren’t suppressed at all."

"They have a domain at the same level as ours, or similar means."

The Golden Colossal Ape analyzed in a deep voice.

Silver Eyebrow Venerable’s eyes widened: "That’s a force field comparable to the Fundamental Domain of Laws, how can mere quasi-Heavenly Venerables possess it?"

"How did you... manage it?"

The Emperor Dragon Sovereign was equally shocked.

Long Tianxing, Ji Ziling, and others, who were nailed to the mountain by the Dragon-binding Formation, were also baffled. They had experienced the oppressive force of the Fundamental Domain of Laws firsthand, which could directly suppress them, making resistance impossible.

Even a quasi-Heavenly Venerable struggled to withstand it.

However, Mo Ying and Huo Yunjie not only withstood its pressure but also knocked the Golden Colossal Ape away, which was truly incredible.

"It’s not impossible."

Mo Ying stood with her sword, exuding a vast and boundless force field, giving an impression of facing the consciousness of a high-grade Great Universe.

Huo Yunjie was the same.

"Before leaving the Twin Universe, the Sect Leader specifically gave us two crystals. After merging them, we gained the origin pressure from this high-grade Great Universe, though it can’t suppress other cultivators, it can neutralize similar-level suppression."

Mo Ying explained.

Everyone suddenly understood after hearing this.

"The Twin Universe’s consciousness actually bestows such treasures on you, unbelievable! Doesn’t it know that doing so would weaken the Universe’s own origin suppression?" Silver Eyebrow Venerable was surprised.

The pressure from ordinary Heavenly Venerables and high-grade Great Universe is the same, both equivalent to steel.

Only the high-grade Great Universe is larger.

Its pressure is like massive steel, while the Fundamental Domain of Laws of a Heavenly Venerable is equivalent to a fist-sized piece of steel.

The two are equally hard, with no difference.

However, a high-grade Great Universe can cut off a portion of its pressure, distribute it to cultivators, allowing them to possess pressure on par with a Heavenly Venerable.

It’s impossible to suppress the opponent with these pressures because they cannot be wielded like an arm.

Of course, it’s enough for self-defense.

"Our Twin Universe is not an ordinary high-grade Great Universe, its origin is profound, and with our Sect Leader supporting us from behind, we have no fear."

Mo Ying smiled.

On the other side, Huo Yunjie took out a green-gold cosmic pressure crystal body, patting it on the Emperor Dragon Sovereign’s brow, allowing it to merge into the latter’s body, forming a domain.

"Haha, I also have cosmic pressure now!"

The Emperor Dragon Sovereign was overjoyed.

With the high-grade Great Universe’s pressure crystal body bestowed by the Twin Universe, he could offset the suppression from the Fundamental Domain of Laws of the Heavenly Venerable spirit fragment, making him not as passive.

Swish, swish, swish!

Mo Ying, Huo Yunjie, and the Emperor Dragon Sovereign, three monstrous-level quasi-Heavenly Venerables, flashed across the void, confronting the Heavenly Venerable spirit fragments of Golden Colossal Ape, Qingyuan, and White Ape separately.

"Three-on-three, we’re even now."

The Emperor Dragon Sovereign extended his arms, with his ten fingers covered in hard and sharp armor, like dragon claws.

"Haha, funny!" The Golden Colossal Ape sneered, "Even if you have high-grade Universe-level pressure, so what? We are Heavenly Venerables; we’ll still crush you!"

"I’ll assist from the side!" Silver Eyebrow Venerable hurried to the Golden Colossal Ape’s side, licking his lips.

"Your opponent is us!"

From up on the mountain, Long Tianxing and others’ voices came, as Mo Ying decisively moved, using her extreme speed to cut off the golden long spears pinning Long Tianxing and others, breaking the Dragon-binding Formation.

Boom!

Long Tianxing, Wang Ping’an, Shi Lei, and Ji Ziling simultaneously broke free from their restraints, rising into the sky, and immediately self-destructed their bodies, quickly regenerating to restore themselves to their peak state.

They formed a battle formation, coldly staring at Silver Eyebrow Venerable.

"How could this be?!"

Silver Eyebrow Venerable gritted his teeth; if it weren’t for the quasi-Heavenly Venerable-level armor he wore, he wouldn’t want to face the siege of Long Tianxing and the other three alone.

These people were all monstrous-level prodigies!

In a one-on-one fight, he was confident.

However, Long Tianxing and others seemed to have performed a combined battle formation, as if facing the Abyss Demon Army, their combined strength was stronger than his ordinary quasi-Heavenly Venerable power, and without armor, he feared being beaten to death.

"What a fast sword!"

Qingyuan, Golden Colossal Ape, and White Ape all looked at Mo Ying in surprise, not expecting her to be fast enough to rescue Long Tianxing and others right under their noses.

"Eldest senior brother, your strength is the greatest, you choose a tough opponent!" White Ape said in a deep voice.

"Alright, okay." Qingyuan nodded.

His true self is a Second-Turn Heavenly Venerable, able to exert double the fundamental combat power of the Golden Colossal Ape and White Ape, which is equivalent to the base power of a quasi-Heavenly Venerable with sixty times that of an ordinary Invincible Supreme. If a Third-Turn Heavenly Venerable spirit fragment descended, it could exert the strength equivalent to the power of a quasi-Heavenly Venerable with ninety times that of an ordinary Invincible Supreme.

And that is already nearing the limit.

Beyond that, whether it’s Four-Turn Heavenly Venerable, Five-Turn Heavenly Venerable, or beyond, the spirit fragments they descend cannot exert fundamental combat power above that of a Heavenly Venerable.

This is the rule of the Cosmic Sea.

Unless one’s strength surpasses the Invincible Old Man, it’s impossible to break this rule.

"You’re strong, then it’s you I cut down!"

Qingyuan set his sights on Mo Ying.

"In that case, you’re my opponent." White Ape fixed his eyes on Huo Yunjie.

"Haha, why do you leave the weakest one for me? But, I like bullying the weak. Doing so brings a sense of accomplishment." The Golden Colossal Ape focused on the Emperor Dragon Sovereign, licking his lips.

"You dare say I’m weak?" The Emperor Dragon Sovereign was so furious that his beard blew out, and the Dragon Scale Armor on his body shone continuously; each scale pulsed, like countless flapping wings, capable of driving anyone with trypophobia insane.

Boom!

The Emperor Dragon Sovereign and the Golden Colossal Ape struck first, becoming two streaks of golden light clashing mid-air, but after a single round, the Emperor Dragon Sovereign was hit and sent flying, falling into disadvantage.

"Saying you’re weak, you really are weak!"

The Golden Colossal Ape laughed wildly, his figure expanding, transforming into a hundred-meter-tall Golden Colossal Ape, continuously pounding heavy fists towards the Emperor Dragon Sovereign, driving the latter further and further back.

"Dragon Emperor Dimensional Slash!"

Forced into a corner, the Emperor Dragon Sovereign had no choice but to use his ultimate skill. As he gathered his aura, a blade of light as thin as a cicada wing slashed out, sending the Golden Colossal Ape flying.

Glancing down.

The armor on his chest was slightly dented, almost unable to withstand the Dragon Emperor Dimensional Slash from the Emperor Dragon Sovereign.

"What a sharp attack!"

The Golden Colossal Ape was greatly surprised, not expecting the Emperor Dragon Sovereign to have such a technique, and hurriedly started to take it seriously.

Clang!

The Emperor Dragon Sovereign seized the opportunity, continuously launching Dragon Emperor Dimensional Slashes, slashing at the Golden Colossal Ape’s chest repeatedly, unexpectedly gaining the upper hand, appearing quite impressive.

"Damn, you dare say I’m the weakest?"

The Emperor Dragon Sovereign roared, fighting with increasing fervor, suddenly longing for the Ancestor of Demons and the Crimson Queen. If those two could also achieve the quasi-Heavenly Venerable Realm, the three working together might truly be able to slay this spirit fragment of the Golden Colossal Ape.

In the distant battlefield.

Long Tianxing and the others formed a battle formation, integrating offense and defense, strengthening their auras, successfully resisting the quasi-Heavenly Venerable pressure of Silver Eyebrow Venerable, and matching forces evenly.

"Damn it, how can this be?"

Silver Eyebrow Venerable gritted his teeth in anger. If he weren’t wearing his quasi-Heavenly Venerable armor, with his combat power, he would have indeed been slaughtered by these four Half-Step Heavenly Venerables, including Long Tianxing.

On the beach.

Mo Ying was in a fierce battle with Qingyuan.

Mo Ying’s swordsmanship was exquisite and fast. Although her individual combat strength couldn’t match Qingyuan, she could counterattack two or three times against every strike from him, just barely offsetting it.

"Really a monster!"

"If you were one of our Abyss Clan, you’d have no problem becoming a Heavenly Venerable in the future, and might even have a chance to reach beyond the Seventh Turn, becoming a high-ranking Heavenly Venerable."

"Unfortunately, you’re an enemy."

The expression on Qingyuan’s face grew colder.

"Heavenly Venerables have realms too? The Nine-Turn Heavenly Venerable is the strongest? What about beyond the Heavenly Venerable, is there an even stronger existence?"

Mo Ying couldn’t help but ask.

"Beyond Heavenly Venerable lies Dao Monarch, who, in the Origin of All Things, is a dominant overlord, beyond what you and I can touch."

Qingyuan said coldly.

"Is Dao Monarch the end?" Mo Ying asked.

"You talk too much!" Qingyuan didn’t continue to answer the question, instead focused on his strong offense, but Mo Ying resolved each with greater speed.

Further away, in the ancient city.

Huo Yunjie and White Ape fought their way to this location.

White Ape, clad in armor and wielding a three-foot-long spike, managed to pierce Huo Yunjie with every thrust. Fortunately, the latter possessed an undying body, healing quickly, effectively stalling White Ape.

"You’re much worse than Mo Ying." White Ape taunted.

"Trying to disturb my Dao heart? Not a chance!" Huo Yunjie remained unmoved, continuing to wield his sword, waiting for the perfect opportunity to unleash the Ultimate Sword Drawing Technique.

"Your mindset is good, no wonder you’ve grown to this realm. Join our Abyss Clan, and I can have you apprenticed to my mentor, Ancient Ape Heavenly Venerable. He is a peak Third-Turn Heavenly Venerable, about to reach the Fourth Turn—a mentor worthy of pride."

White Ape continued to tempt.

"I have only one mentor, and that’s our Misty Holy Sect’s Old Sect Leader. As for now, I’m taught by my Sect Master Uncle, who, to me, is far superior to any so-called Nine-Turn Heavenly Venerable!"

Huo Yunjie’s Dao heart remained firm, showing no flaw.

"Foolish!" White Ape mocked.

Though outwardly disdainful, White Ape internally acknowledged Ye Feng’s strength, possibly even surpassing some Nine-Turn Heavenly Venerables in enlightenment.

"I really want to see Ye Feng."

"If the Fourth Junior Brother isn’t mistaken, Ye Feng has just entered the Hundred-layered Immortal Emperor realm. Even with the Sky Annihilation Four Immortals Array, he’s certainly not our match."

"Yet, this is truly remarkable."

"How could someone with a basic combat power barely reaching quasi-Heavenly Venerable teach Mo Ying and Huo Yunjie, these two exceptional talents?"

"There can only be one reason: Ye Feng’s enlightenment is exceptionally high!"

"He continuously elucidates cultivation difficulties for Mo Ying and Huo Yunjie, solving their puzzles and concerns."

"If true, Ye Feng is even more crucial. Especially his Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Tree, which is a Supreme Treasure we must acquire."

White Ape analyzed internally.

The battle on Outer Domain Battlefield One continued relentlessly.

Elsewhere, in the universe.

The news of the deaths of Divine Sword Immortal Emperor, Qingchen Ancient Immortal, Xu Longjia, the Six-Eyed Divine King, and other Half-Step Heavenly Venerables reached top factions, plunging many into deep sorrow.

"Waa!"

"The patriarch is dead!"

Many wept uncontrollably, falling to their knees.

Eternal Ancient Divine Kingdom, Purple Garden.

Ye Feng sat cross-legged here.

Purple Fire Monarch hovered nearby, quietly observing Ye Feng without disturbing him.

Crackle!

Lightning appeared on Ye Feng, not from reviving beings but from trading with the Twin Universe Consciousness, triggering the cosmic rules and resulting in punishment.

"Young friend, can you endure this?"

The Twin Universe Consciousness transmitted its voice.

"I can endure it," Ye Feng replied.

Previously, after helping Mo Ying and Huo Yunjie upgrade their Life-bound Divine Weapons to quasi-Heavenly Venerable level, he traded with the Twin Universe Consciousness, extracting several Cosmic Pressure Crystal Bodies from the universe’s origin.

This act defied cosmic rules.

Thus, Ye Feng was struck by lightning. Fortunately, he continuously refined the Primordial Source, and the lightning on him gradually subsided, allowing him to move.

"Phew, it’s finally over."

Ye Feng stood up.

"Sect Master Ye, you’ve finally made it through." Purple Fire Monarch breathed a sigh of relief.

"Indeed." Ye Feng nodded.

Though punished by cosmic rules, he enabled Mo Ying, Huo Yunjie, and others to acquire high-grade Great Universe-level pressure crystal bodies, enabling them to offset the Fundamental Domain of Laws wielded by Heavenly Venerable spirit fragments, reaping great rewards.

"Sect Master Ye, are you heading to Outer Domain Battlefield One next?" Purple Fire Monarch asked.

"Yes, the battle has already begun, and it seems it’s for me. I must leave the universe to fight, so the war doesn’t affect the billions of beings here."

Ye Feng nodded.

Heavenly Venerable spirit fragments are terrifying.

In the past, if a high-grade Great Universe was invaded by a Heavenly Venerable spirit fragment, unless the universe had a newly emerged Heavenly Venerable, it would be hard to resist.

Alternatively, having a monstrously talented quasi-Heavenly Venerable on standby, coupled with cosmic consciousness presence, might temporarily allow a close-to-Heavenly Venerable level combat power to defend the realm.

If a universe only has Half-Step Heavenly Venerables, even with cosmic consciousness support, they couldn’t withstand a Heavenly Venerable spirit fragment, and would be beaten to death.

Eventually, the universe would be destroyed.

In other words, the invading Heavenly Venerable spirit fragment is a deadly threat to various universes.

Once they appear, disaster follows.

"Ye Feng, you’ve done so much for this universe." Purple Fire Monarch sighed, "But people will always remember you."

Ye Feng smiled, "I’m not in it for fame or fortune."

Purple Fire Monarch was taken aback.

He believed Ye Feng cared about fame and often did grand things accordingly.

Unexpectedly, Ye Feng would say this.

"Senior, I always aim to act with a clear conscience and freely, even if sometimes I can’t have it both ways. I’ve never pursued fame or fortune."

Ye Feng explained.

If it weren’t for the Prestige Points task, he wouldn’t constantly battle strong foes.

Being a layabout seems appealing.

"Regardless of your reasons for fighting, people will be grateful to you, admire you. You will go down in history, becoming a role model for many," Purple Fire Monarch reflected.

"Indeed... but I don’t want to fight solely for fame or fortune. There are many pursuits in life. I just want to act with a clear conscience." Ye Feng murmured.

Once, he sought Prestige Points.

But now, he fights purely for the well-being of the universe’s billions.

As for Prestige Points?

Leave it be!

"I’m leaving, to fight!" Ye Feng took a deep breath and soared away.

"You must come back alive!"

Purple Fire Monarch watched Ye Feng’s receding figure, noting that in his heart, Ye Feng’s image became grander, like a glowing Primordial Divine Mountain, sacred and noble.
