Chapter 2176: Chapter 2176: The Road Ahead Blocked

"No..."

Ye Feng’s false body pretended to scream in shock, and then, under the pressure of Dao Venerable Jintong, it exploded, turning into a wisp of blue smoke that drifted up and then dissipated into nothingness.

"Dead... dead?"

Dao Venerable Jintong was stunned.

Didn’t they say Ye Feng had an Undying Body? How could he be obliterated by his pressure?

Could it be that he was too strong?

"Sect Leader... no!" Ouyang Feng, who followed, also delivered an impressive performance, crying loudly, and then his body exploded, seemingly unable to withstand the pressure of the Dao Venerable.

"Dead... all dead?!"

Dao Venerable Jintong stood there in disbelief.

Unbeknownst to anyone, a wisp of Primordial Source subtly merged into the nearby nature’s spiritual energy and entered Dao Venerable Jintong’s body with the breath of his pores.

The mark formed successfully.

In the Chaos Triple Realm Cosmos Cluster.

Ye Feng and Ouyang Feng laughed heartily, high-fiving each other to celebrate their victory.

They had successfully fooled Dao Venerable Jintong.

Even the opponent’s Immeasurable Ring had been consumed.

A double win!

"Ouyang Feng, I didn’t expect your acting to be so good. Well done! Once the Nine-Star Alchemy Furnace produces the Law Fusion Pill, you are bound to prove yourself as a Dao Monarch."

Ye Feng patted Ouyang Feng’s shoulder.

"It’s all thanks to the Sect Leader’s good teaching." Ouyang Feng scratched his head, looking forward to the day he became a Dao Monarch.

"Alright, go practice! But for now, you can’t go to Tianzhou, lest Dao Venerable Jintong finds out you’re not dead yet," Ye Feng advised.

"Sect Leader, what if Dao Venerable Jintong comes to Haizhou?" Ouyang Feng was worried.

"He won’t. Haizhou has a great Pinnacle Existence guarding it. Dao Venerables occasionally dare to enter Haizhou, but Grand Dao Venerables usually don’t. Rest assured!"

Ye Feng was confident.

"Sect Leader, what’s next on the agenda?" Ouyang Feng asked with curiosity.

"Spread the word, just say that..."

Ye Feng began setting up the subsequent plan.

Before long.

A heavy message swept through all of Haizhou and spread outward, becoming known to countless people.

Subsequently, it caused an uproar.

"Big news, Sect Leader Ye Feng of the Misty Holy Sect encountered Dao Venerable Jintong, the leader of the Dark Night Pavilion branch, and was injured by the opponent’s Immeasurable Ring, leaving him severely wounded and unconscious."

"What?!"

"Dao Venerable Jintong! Leader of the Dark Night Pavilion branch? The guy actually has an Immeasurable Ring?"

"Isn’t Sect Master Ye supposed to have an Undying Body?"

"The difference in realm is too significant. After all, it’s the means of the Immeasurable Honorable, Ye Feng was seriously injured. It’s said even the Indelible Seal has issues due to the attack."

"How could this happen!"

"Could it be that even the Indelible Seal can be suppressed by the Immeasurable Honorable? That’s just terrifying."

Countless messages spread, covering the sky and earth.

Powerhouses from various continents were startled, especially the likes of Wuyuan Great Dao Venerable, Wen Yu Great Dao Venerable, who were filled with amazement.

Ye Feng, was he really finished just like that?

They sighed helplessly.

Tianzhou.

Upon learning that Ye Feng was in a coma, uncertain whether alive or dead, many disciples mourned the deceased Ouyang Feng, while Dao Venerable Jintong appeared utterly bewildered.

"He didn’t die after all? But how did Ye Feng return to Haizhou? So strange."

Dao Venerable Jintong expressed his surprise.

"Now that Ye Feng is alive, I can’t possibly go to Haizhou to deal with him."

"What should I do about this?"

Dao Venerable Jintong was deep in thought.

Haizhou is guarded by the Invincible Old Man, Immeasurable Venerables dare not enter lightly, lest it provokes the guardian and leads to suppression.

Grand Dao Venerables dare not enter either.

As for Dao Venerables, it’s relatively alright since their cultivation level isn’t that high, they occasionally enter without much trouble.

"Misty Holy Sect has both Radiant Daoist and Annihilation Dao Venerable stationed, along with the Wood Elemental Dao Origin Killing Formation, sending Dao Venerables in can’t defeat them. Should this matter just be left alone?"

Dao Venerable Jintong felt quite helpless.

Shortly afterward.

"I need to consult the Unlimited Honorable of the Dark Night."

Central Continent.

Dao Venerable Jintong entered the high tower of Unlimited Honorable of the Dark Night once again, only to learn the other was in closed-door training.

"What? In closed-door training!"

It left him completely perplexed.

Unlimited Honorable’s closed training might last a millennium or countless years, meaning he could only watch as Ye Feng retreats into Haizhou, powerless to act.

"What a mess this is!"

Dao Venerable Jintong was speechless, returning to Tianzhou.

Misty Holy Sect.

Ye Feng listened to the outside messages, instructing sect members to return to the sect as if attending a memorial service.

Seven days later.

Numerous disciples carried a coffin out, burying it near the Misty Holy Sect residence, crying loudly.

"Ouyang Feng is dead?"

"Truly dead, look how sorrowful his sister Ouyang Yu is, her tears have formed a river."

"Sigh!"

"The people of the Dark Night Pavilion, they’re all damnable!"

Many attended Ouyang Feng’s funeral, including Mo Ying, Huo Yunjie, and others, who appeared solemn, their eyes slightly red, filled with murderous intent.

"The Dark Night Pavilion is too arrogant!"

"That force deserves to be wiped out."

Similar sentiments grew in number.

Dao Venerable Jintong, hearing the news, sneered silently.

Dark Night Pavilion has Immeasurable Venerable overseeing them, neither you small fry nor you can handle it?

Dream on!

With time passing, the matter gradually cooled down, yet, under the leadership of Chief Elder Gong Qingqiu, Misty Holy Sect continued its steady development.

Inside a Third-Level Timeline.

Ye Feng appeared here.

The sect’s affairs need no attention for now.

Next, he must focus on growing well, striving to break the Time Curse and advance to Dao Monarch soon.

"Sect Leader, I’m so bored!" Hu Feifei yawned repeatedly, sitting on the giant beast.

"Bored? Well, how about I ask you to kill Dao Venerable Jintong? Can you manage that?" Ye Feng asked.

"I can’t." Hu Feifei shook her head.

"Since you can’t, shouldn’t you hurry up and cultivate? Only when you can kill Daoist Realm can you deal with Dao Venerable Jintong, so you won’t feel bored."

Ye Feng spread his hands, speaking.

"But is the Dao Venerable really that easy to achieve? Now, I’m just at the early stage of Dao Monarch."

Hu Feifei pursed her lips.

"That’s why you should stop saying you’re bored. If you have time to be bored, why not practice instead?"

"Yes, yes, got it, so naggy!"

Hu Feifei’s yawns increased in frequency.

She felt like practicing just made her sleepy.

This feeling was so unpleasant.

Only on the battlefield, engaging in a thrilling fight with others, could she feel satisfied.

"Coquettish Consort, an opportunity arises."

Ye Feng suddenly pointed forward.

"What opportunity?" Hu Feifei kept her eyes shut, unwilling to look ahead.

"A chance to fight."

"What?!" Hu Feifei instantly became alert, her eyes wide open, staring at the void ahead.

There, a clash was erupting.

One of them was in the late Dao Monarch stage, while the other was in the mid Dao Monarch stage. The former was wearing black armor, seemingly from some power, and was pursuing a white-robed youth with a lower cultivation level, their blades drawing blood, very harrowing.

"Kid, you won’t get away."

The armored middle-aged man sneered, wielding a purple-golden blade to fiercely strike down. The white-robed youth’s chest split open, blood gushing forth.

"Sect Leader, who should we help?" Hu Feifei asked.

"Of course, we help the weak," Ye Feng responded.

"Alright then!" Hu Feifei intended to smash the late-stage Dao Monarch armored man with her staff.

"Wait, that’s wrong," Ye Feng stopped her.

"Ah?" Hu Feifei paused, "Isn’t the mid-stage Dao Monarch weaker? Sect Leader, are you sure?"

"Why don’t you look again?" Ye Feng smiled.

Hu Feifei looked towards the battlefield.

The mid-stage Dao Monarch white-robed youth suddenly struck his forehead and exploded, transforming into a bizarre orange-red mist, enveloping the armored man.

"Ahh..."

The armored man screamed; he turned out to be no match for the white-robed youth.

"Step in!" Ye Feng raised his hand to unleash powerful cosmic pressure, forcing the orange-red mist formed by the white-robed youth to revert to human shape.

"Who are you? Why interfere with me?" The white-robed youth’s face filled with coldness.

"Thank you for your help, fellow Daoist." The armored middle-aged man retreated, his body wounded, his aura only a third of what it was before.

"Sect Leader, who’s the bad guy here? I thought the middle-aged uncle was the bad guy with his sinister grin and high cultivation!"

Hu Feifei complained.

The armored middle-aged man suppressed his twitching mouth and politely cupped his hands, "Both of you, I am a protector of Wenshu Pavilion. This person stole texts from our pavilion. I am ordered to hunt him down, and I request your assistance."

Ye Feng said, "Sure."

"Ridiculous, a nine-turn Heavenly Venerable at peak hiding his cultivation and an early-stage Dao Monarch. Do you think you both can handle me?" The white-robed youth looked at Hu Feifei, his face full of greed, "Perfect body, once I suppress you, we double-cultivate and enjoy."

"Ugh, disgusting!" Hu Feifei spat, swinging her Hunyuan Staff towards him.

Clang!

The white-robed youth was just transforming into an orange-red mist, devouring the armored man’s strength. Now able to unleash late-stage Dao Monarch’s power, he threw a punch that collided with Hu Feifei’s staff, yet his face showed shock.

"An early-stage Dao Monarch can wield such power!"

Not only was the white-robed youth shocked, but the armored man from Wenshu Pavilion also widened his eyes.

This power seemed heaven-defying!

But it wasn’t over yet.

With Ye Feng joining the fray, a dazzling sword light illuminated the void, slicing the white-robed youth in half, releasing explosive destructive energy, forcibly eradicating him into dust, never to revive.

"This..."

The armored man from Wenshu Pavilion was dumbfounded.

Hu Feifei, an early-stage Dao Monarch, unleashed late-stage power, astonishing enough, and Ye Feng, at the nine-turn Heavenly Venerable peak, swiftly eliminated a mid-stage Dao Monarch.

This... was simply terrifying!

"Don’t be surprised." Ye Feng smiled and left with Hu Feifei without lingering.

"Sect Leader, why kill the white-robed youth?" Hu Feifei asked curiously, though she knew he deserved it.

Ye Feng explained, "This person possessed great fate but was doing evil. According to the timeline, he would become a generation of heroes, reaching higher than Dao Venerable in the future. Killing him changes the future’s course, harvesting a massive amount of time’s origin."

"I see." Hu Feifei nodded.

In no time.

Ye Feng clearly noticed the accumulation speed of time’s origin increasing greatly. Days later, it was several tens of thousands more than usual, causing him to smile.

[Time’s Origin: 204,000/1,000,000]

"Once I’ve saved up 1,000,000 points of time’s origin, I can upgrade the ’Time-Space Codex’ to level two or craft the twelfth cosmic ring."

Ye Feng looked forward to the future.

Time passed little by little.

Ye Feng and Hu Feifei leaped between different timelines, accomplishing many significant tasks.

The accumulation speed of time’s origin has increased from 10,000 points a day to now around 20,000 points daily, still gradually rising.

Two months later.

Ye Feng opened the time’s origin panel.

[Time’s Origin: 1,010,000/1,000,000]

"Finally reached the mark!"

"First, I’ll condense the twelfth cosmic ring, attempt to break through to Dao Monarch. As for upgrading ’Time-Space Codex’ to level two, that can wait for later."

Ye Feng licked his lips.

"Let’s go, break through to Dao Monarch!"

They vanished into the void.

Chaos Triple Realm Cosmos Cluster.

Ye Feng sat cross-legged at the center of Shenzhou Continent, behind him a massive Dao stele and Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Tree.

Lately, Ye Feng deduced the materials needed for the tea tree’s sixth evolution, assigning system hosts from various timelines to help find them.

Now, they’re almost gathered.

Rumble!

As Ye Feng devoured the void’s origin, the entire Chaos Triple Realm Cosmos Cluster boiled, and the outermost, twelfth cosmic ring swiftly formed, utterly magnificent.

Countless laws reverberated as if celebrating.

Ye Feng also observed numerous laws merging, undoubtedly signifying his imminent ascension to the Dao Monarch Realm.

But suddenly.

A terrifying invisible curse erupted, aiming to crush Ye Feng’s twelfth cosmic ring.

"Time’s origin, sacrifice!"

Ye Feng took a deep breath, transforming 1,000,000 points of time’s origin into endless energy, neutralizing the curse’s power, successfully condensing the twelfth cosmic ring.

He sensed his aura skyrocketing again.

Between the eleventh and twelfth cosmic rings, an expansive void saw the sparkling evolution of numerous stars, eventually proliferating into countless brilliant universes.

"Phew, finally broke through."

Ye Feng smiled broadly, eagerly aiming to merge the twelve cosmic rings, ascend to Dao Monarch.

Yet the twelve cosmic rings were impregnable.

Merge?

Simply impossible!

"How could this be?" Ye Feng was baffled.

Supposedly, after condensing twelve cosmic rings, the internal pressure should suffice; activating all rings should allow merging, forming a new universe, advancing to Dao Monarch.

Yet now, merging was impossible.

The reason was obvious: insufficient pressure!

"No way?! Does it mean I need to condense an unprecedented thirteenth cosmic ring to generate enough pressure for advancing to Dao Monarch Realm?"

Ye Feng’s mouth twitched.

Currently, time’s origin is far from enough.

At the current rate of accruing 20-30,000 points daily, saving ten million would take over a year.

"Sect Leader, have you broken through?"

Hu Feifei asked on the side.

Ye Feng shot her a glance, "Not yet. I reckon, condensing the thirteenth cosmic ring is necessary for adequate pressure to advance to Dao Monarch."

"For real?" Hu Feifei’s eyes widened.

Thirteen cosmic rings?

That’s way too many!

"No worries, a year or so should suffice to gather ten million points." Ye Feng dismissed it lightly.

There’s enough time, no hurry.

His attention fixed on the massive Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Tree behind him, intending to assist in its evolution first.

[PS: This Chapter has over 4000 words. Previously, the Time Codex was upgraded to level three, and the next level upgrade should require 1,000,000 points. I’ve corrected that. It’s fine for now, good night!]
