True Immortal-level experts fought the Immortals, while Supreme-level experts naturally had to fight the Supremes.
After evading the Immortal's attack, Qin Feng fixed his gaze on the Dark Supremes who had followed that Immortal here. These fellows were his targets.
Qin Feng had his sights on three Supremes in total. One was burly, covered in pitch-black scales, with two curved horns on his head and arms as thick as massive pillars. He held a black battle-axe whose blade was still stained with fresh blood.
Another was slender, with a face hidden beneath a black hood and eerie black mist coiling around the body. A bone staff was held in one hand, its head set with a skull that radiated a ghostly green glow.
The last had a sinister face, sickly gray-white skin, and blood-red eyes. Two pairs of black bone wings sprouted from his back, and his entire body exuded a nauseating aura of decay.
None of the three Dark Supremes had an aura weaker than an ordinary Supreme from the Immortal Domain. The Supremes of Perfect World were roughly equivalent to eighth- or ninth-heaven Quasi-Emperors, while the stronger ones were comparable to those who had attained the Dao through an alternative path.
But Qin Feng was an Extreme Dao Supreme, with combat strength equivalent to a Great Emperor's, and he possessed special secret techniques as well. This battle would be an utter steamrolling.
The only thing he needed to watch out for was being contaminated by their Dark Substance. Qin Feng still could not be sure whether he was immune to it.
The Immortal Domain had rushed to support the Primeval Ancient Realm precisely because it feared contamination by Dark Substance.
This Dark Substance was extraordinarily bizarre. For the Foreign Realm's Dark Lifeforms and Dark Evolvers, it was nourishment beyond imagination, a wellspring for cultivation.
For ordinary cultivators, however, it was a lethal poison. Once they were contaminated by this eerie aura, their bodies would begin to rot.
First, a second primordial spirit would be born within their bodies-a new personality that was utterly dark and the complete opposite of their own.
This being would fight them for control of their bodies, then suppress their original primordial spirits before eradicating them completely. This was called the Dark Fall.
So, to be safe, Qin Feng decided to release only his Demonic Shadow to deal with these fellows, while his true body hid within chaos space, casting spells and waiting for a chance to ambush them.
Qin Feng had begun preparing to fight Dark Lifeforms long ago, developing numerous long-range spells and cultivating several long-range Precious Techniques as well.
All those preparations had been for this day. Among his opponents, the burly horned man had the most powerful aura and seemed to have already brushed against the threshold of the extreme Dao domain.
"Qin Feng, be careful!" a cultivator from the Primeval Ancient Realm called out from afar.
The corners of Qin Feng's mouth lifted slightly. Be careful? They're the ones who should be careful, not me.
"What a pity. You're strong, but now that you've run into the three of us, you won't be leaving today," said the Foreign Realm Supreme who was on the verge of entering the extreme Dao domain.
Qin Feng sneered. His figure flickered, and he vanished into thin air before everyone's eyes. At that very same moment, a black shadow suddenly shot out of his body.
The black shadow swiftly concealed itself among the crowd without drawing anyone's attention.
"That bastard actually ran away? Are you kidding me? And he calls himself an Extreme Dao Supreme," said one of the Foreign Realm Supremes, looking utterly speechless.
In a three-on-one fight, they had indeed thrown out some harsh words at the start. But truthfully, they had little confidence, putting their chances at only thirty or forty percent. They had merely planned to hold him off until more Supremes arrived to support them. After all, their opponent was an extreme Dao expert.
They had never expected the brat to run away, or to be such a coward.
"What a gutless brat."
"I thought he was something special. Turns out he's just a spineless rat."
"And here we were, ready to fight him to the death."
"At least he knew what was good for him. If he hadn't run, I would've activated our clan's secret technique and killed him outright," said the Supreme with one foot in the extreme Dao domain.
He was no ordinary Supreme, but one from an Imperial Clan. What was an Imperial Clan? The descendants of an Immortal King, whose members all inherited one of that Immortal King's special strengths.
His aptitude was far beyond that of ordinary cultivators. Having cultivated to the Supreme Realm, he could be considered an expert even within his clan.
"All right, all right. Forget that coward." The horned man bent down, pulled the battle-axe planted in the ground free, and hefted it onto his shoulder.
"Since he's run off, let's not just stand around here. The lord Immortal is still fighting over there. Let's go lend a hand.
"Even if the lord Immortal doesn't need our help, we should at least make a show of it. We can't have people saying that the Supremes of our Imperial Clan don't know their manners." The true deciding clash in this battle was still the duel between the Immortal and the True Immortal.
Their own battlefield was of little consequence. Although a True Immortal could slaughter them like stray dogs, they could still launch a few sneak attacks from the sidelines.
"You're right." The hooded old woman nodded.
"Let's go. No point wasting time here."
The three turned, preparing to fly toward the fierce battle between the Immortal and True Immortal Firefeather.
Standing within chaos space, Qin Feng watched their backs through the spatial barrier. The instant they turned away, he struck.
The first to act was Demonic Shadow, hidden in the darkness. A black shadow swept across the opposing Foreign Realm Supreme, instantly slicing the target in two.
Then Qin Feng, concealed within chaos space, launched his own sneak attack. A chaos-colored beam shot from his fingertip.
The beam pierced through chaos space and struck the bone-winged man precisely in the back of the head.
Both attacks were incomparably swift. The two Foreign Realm Supremes did not even have a chance to react before Qin Feng killed them in an instant.
Their primordial spirits were instantly destroyed, while their physical bodies remained relatively intact. That chaos-colored ray was a Precious Technique Qin Feng had developed after fusing with the chaos qi sea.
There was nothing flashy about this technique. Qin Feng simply concentrated his primordial spirit power and magical power into a single point to deliver a killing blow.
This technique was exceptionally difficult to detect. When used in an ambush, it could be said to work every time.
Demonic Shadow's attacks were even stranger. Lurking in the darkness like an assassin, whenever he struck, he claimed a life.
The weapons wielded by the Demonic Shadow avatar had also been specially refined by Qin Feng: two blood-red daggers.
The expression of the sole surviving Extreme Dao Supreme changed drastically. He had never imagined that Qin Feng would ambush them under these circumstances.
"You shameless bastard! Aaaah!" But before he could finish speaking, another chaos ray from Qin Feng and an attack from the Demonic Shadow avatar had already followed in rapid succession.
This Supreme, who had one foot in the extreme Dao domain, followed his two companions to the grave, dying a miserable death at Qin Feng's hands.
"You talk too much."
