Dao Breaking and Heavenly Venerables

The match continues, but it has reached a stalemate.

Chen Feng was unable to break through the Blood Sea Divine Ability, and Zhang Guo's Divine Ability could not break through Chen Feng's physical body either.

Sui Han and Xue Rao, who were watching from the sidelines, were both shocked by what they saw.

Xue Rao exclaimed in shock, "How can his physical body be so strong? Even Elder Zhang couldn't break through it!"

Suihan said:

"That's normal. Although I don't know what kind of cultivation Cultivation Method he practices, the stellar power he draws upon is incredibly vast. With that kind of stellar power, unless one's strength can shatter it, it's impossible to break through his physical body."

Xue Rao said, "Is it possible that the three of us combined can't break through?"

Sui Han pondered for a moment, "Perhaps we can, but we'll have to use our trump card. And that's only if he's willing to fight us. If he tries to escape, we can't stop him."

Xue Rao said with apprehension:

"Cultivators from beyond the boundary are truly terrifying. If everyone in the outside world were like him, wouldn't it be disastrous if we opened the boundary?"

If a mere cultivator from outside the realm is this terrifying, what about everyone else? This made Xue Rao wary of those outside the realm.

Sui Han didn't answer Xue Rao's question, but instead looked at the sea of blood in the distance and said:

"Gentlemen, let's end this sparring here. Any further fighting would damage our harmony."

As he spoke, a dazzling light immediately emanated from around Sui Han, and this light dissolved the sea of blood upon touching it.

Seeing this, the sea of blood immediately contracted rapidly, and Zhang Guo reappeared in the arena.

His expression was very unpleasant at that moment.

He was at the fifth step of the Dao Integration stage, while according to what Sui Han had said before, the person in front of him was only a cultivator at the third step of the Dao Integration stage.

He, a cultivator at the fifth step of the Dao Integration Realm, couldn't even defeat a third-step cultivator, which made him feel very ashamed.

Chen Feng glanced at Sui Han in the distance; the light Sui Han had just released was actually able to directly melt the sea of blood.

This made him realize that the fifth step of the Dao Integration was fundamentally different from other Dao Integration methods.

Zhang Guo looked at Chen Feng and said:

"I admire your physical strength, fellow Daoist."

After Zhang Guo finished speaking, he didn't say anything more. This test had already made him lose face, and Chen Feng did indeed have the strength to cooperate with their Blood Demon Palace.

Sui Han and Xue Rao then approached Chen Feng. Sui Han asked:

"May I ask your name, fellow Daoist?"

Although Sui Han has met Chen Feng twice, he still doesn't know Chen Feng's name.

Chen Feng dispersed the power of the myriad stars on his body and calmly said:

"You gave me the name 'Bloody Hand Butcher,' didn't you? Well, I'll call myself that then."

Chen Feng's words startled Sui Han for a moment, then he laughed:

"Fellow Daoist Butcher, please keep this spiritual item safe."

Sui Han didn't dwell on asking Chen Feng's name; a name is just a label.

Chen Feng put away the two jade boxes, then asked:

What do you want to know?

Sui Han spoke with a serious expression:

"Please wait a moment, fellow Daoist."

After saying that, Sui Han made a hand Method Formula, and the surroundings were once again enveloped by a layer of light, directly isolating everything around him.

After doing all this, Suihan finally spoke:

"Alright, with this light barrier in place, even someone at the fifth step of the Dao Integration Realm can't see through it. We want to know anything about the outside world, so just tell us, fellow Daoist."

Chen Feng pondered for a moment, then said:

"The outer realm is different from your Xuanhuang Realm. Your place can only be considered a separate world, while the outer realm is a universe. This universe is composed of countless star fields, and some of the large star fields are equivalent to the total area of your Xuanhuang Realm."

Chen Feng began to tell the three about the universe and star systems, which were common knowledge and there was nothing he couldn't say.

The three listened intently to Chen Feng's story, and their expressions grew increasingly serious as they listened.

Universe, star field.

Just from Chen Feng's description, they could sense how vast the outer realm was, while their Xuanhuang Realm was merely a small world.

Xue Rao couldn't help but ask:

"Fellow Daoist Butcher, you say the outer realm is a universe. How big is this universe?"

The other two also looked at Chen Feng.

Chen Feng shook his head. "I don't know, because even I only live in a corner of the universe. No one can reach the edge of the universe, because the universe is expanding and growing every moment."

Upon hearing this, Sui Han's eyes lit up:

"Just as I thought, the world beyond is a much bigger one!"

Zhang Guo, standing nearby, also showed a look of longing.

No cultivator wants to be trapped in one place.

Although the Xuanhuang Realm is vast and rich in resources, the universe outside this realm is clearly much larger than the Xuanhuang Realm.

That place is filled with countless star systems, and within those systems lie countless powers and races.

Asking questions in the cold of winter:

"Fellow Daoist, could you please tell me what forces exist around the Xuanhuang Realm, and what their respective strengths are?"

This is what the Cold-Blooded Devil Lord is most concerned about. According to Chen Feng, the outer realm is vast, and even Chen Feng himself doesn't know how big it is. So he can only ask them about the situation around the Xuanhuang Realm.

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng thought for a moment and then said:

Actually, I don't know either.

Upon hearing this, Sui Han and the other two frowned.

Zhang Guo said:

"Fellow Daoist Butcher, we have already given you the spiritual item. Do you intend to break our contract?"

Chen Feng said with a smile:

"I will naturally not break the contract. I truly do not know, because my arrival in the Xuanhuang Realm was purely accidental, and I have no idea where the Xuanhuang Realm is located in the universe."

Chen Feng guessed that the world beyond the Xuanhuang Realm was the Painting Scroll World.

But this was just his guess, and he had no idea what the truth was, since he had never heard anything about the Xuanhuang Realm in the Painting Scroll World.

Zhang Guo wanted to say something more, but Sui Han spoke first:

"Fellow Daoist Butcher, then just tell me what you know."

Chen Feng nodded and immediately recounted the story of the Heavenly Profound Holy Land and the Taiyi Sect.

These were the only top-tier powers he knew about in the Painting Scroll World.

"Neither of these two forces has a Celestial Venerable-level expert?" Sui Han looked at Chen Feng.

Chen Feng shook his head. "As far as I know, there isn't."

Sui Han nodded, then asked a few more questions.

Most of them are about cultivators from outside the sect, such as what they are good at and whether they have any special characteristics.

Chen Feng told Sui Han and the others everything except what faction he came from.

These are all common sense facts and have no real value.

Finally, Chen Feng made a Heavenly Dao oath, guaranteeing that what he said was true.

"Thank you for informing me, fellow Daoist!" Sui Han clasped his hands in a fist salute to Chen Feng.

Chen Feng provided them with a lot of information about the outer world, giving them a certain understanding of the outer universe, which was of great help to them.

Although none of the forces Chen Feng mentioned had a Heavenly Venerable-level expert.

But the outer realms are a whole universe, and the forces Chen Feng mentioned are probably just the tip of the iceberg of that universe.

"It's just a transaction. If you two have no further questions, I'll take my leave now." Seeing that things had progressed sufficiently, Chen Feng prepared to depart.

Now that he has obtained the Dao-integrating artifact, it's time for him to try to integrate with the Dao.

At this moment, Suihan suddenly said:

"Would you still be interested in helping our Blood Demon Palace open the boundary?"

Sui Han's words startled Zhang Guo and Xue Rao.

They hadn't planned to invite each other to the boundary; this was a decision Sui Han made on his own.

Chen Feng turned to look at Sui Han without saying a word; there had to be a reason for asking him to help the Blood Demon Palace.

Suihan smiled and said:

"I'm sure you're aware of the great battle between us and the Three Saints Sect. Outsiders only think that our war broke out because of long-standing conflicts, but the real reason is the boundary barrier. Both of us are vying to be the first to cross it."

"Why do we have to be the first to go outside the boundary?" Chen Feng asked, puzzled.

Just as Sui Han was about to speak, Zhang Guo reminded him, "Sui Han, are you really going to tell him about this?"

Sui Han dismissed it, saying, "This matter is no secret to the higher-ups of our two sects. Even if Fellow Daoist Ren Tu knew, it wouldn't matter. I will explain it to the Ancestor myself."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Guo immediately fell silent.

Looking at Chen Feng in the cold of winter:

"Have you ever heard of Yuanling?"

Chen Feng shook his head. "Never heard of it."

He knew about Yuan Stones and Yuan Crystals, but he had never heard of Yuan Spirits.

Sui Han said with a solemn expression:

"The primordial spirit is something that forms at the very beginning of each world. It governs the Principle and rules of that world; it has no consciousness, it simply operates according to fixed patterns."

"Our Xuanhuang Realm once had primordial spirits, but countless millennia ago, these primordial spirits were devoured by someone."

Chen Feng listened quietly without speaking, waiting for Sui Han to continue.

Suihan continued:

"The reason why the primordial spirits of our Xuanhuang Realm are being devoured is because the only way to break through from the Dao Integration stage to the Dao Breakthrough stage is by devouring primordial spirits."

"The more primordial spirits a cultivator devours and the more worlds they control, the stronger they become!"

"For every world's primordial spirit absorbed, a Dao-breaking expert can mobilize all the power of that world."

As he said this, Sui Han's face was filled with longing.

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng was filled with a storm of emotions.

This was the first time he had ever learned about the realm beyond the Dao Integration stage.

Breakthrough Realm!

He just hadn't expected that to advance to the Breakthrough Realm, he would need to devour primordial spirits and then control the world.

In essence, this is no different from the devouring evolution of the Moro race.

As expected, all systems eventually become essentially the same.

As if he had thought of something, Chen Feng asked:

"Since breaking through to the Dao can only be achieved by devouring primordial spirits, why are there several Heavenly Venerable level experts in the Xuanhuang Realm?"

Upon hearing this, Suihan gave a bitter smile:

"Because the primordial spirit of the Xuanhuang Realm was not devoured by one person, but divided among six: three from the Three Saints Sect, two from our Blood Demon Palace, and one from the Qionghua Sect."

"Although these six people successfully entered the Breakthrough stage with their primordial spirits, they are not truly breaking through to the Dao. Now you should understand why we need to go to the outer realm."

Chen Feng nodded. "I see, thank you for informing me, fellow Daoist."

Whether it's the six Heavenly Venerables or the existing Dao Integration cultivators in the Xuanhuang Realm, if they want to advance further, they can only break through the boundary wall and go outside the realm.

Because the primordial spirit of the Xuanhuang Realm no longer exists.

This is tantamount to severing the path of cultivation.

No wonder the Heavenly Venerables and Old Monsters of the Blood Demon Palace and the Three Saints Sect have all gone to the Boundary Wall.

The two factions already had a deep-seated grudge, and the situation outside the boundary was unclear. If the outside world was also just a small world, then whoever could go out and devour the primordial spirit first would gain a head start over the others.

"Fellow Daoist, as long as you agree to help our Blood Demon Palace break through the boundary, we will also help you devour the primordial spirit of a star field to aid you in breaking through to the Dao!" Sui Han said to Chen Feng.

The reason he invited Chen Feng was naturally because Chen Feng possessed the power of the stars, which would greatly help them break through the boundary.

Chen Feng thought for a moment and then said:

"I'll help, but you have to agree to my conditions."

Chen Feng didn't believe the Blood Demon Palace's claim that they would help him break through to the next level.

This is undoubtedly just empty promises; he values tangible benefits more.

Sui Han immediately pressed, "What are the conditions?"

Chen Feng stated directly, "I need the Xuanhuang Crystal."

Upon hearing this, Sui Han was somewhat surprised:

"What do you need the Xuanhuang Crystal for, fellow Daoist? Do you intend to forge a supreme treasure of the realm? Even if you gather all the materials, it's impossible to forge such a treasure without primordial spirit!"

"Don't worry about that, just tell me if you have it or not." Chen Feng naturally wouldn't explain to Sui Han why he needed the Xuanhuang Crystal.

Sui Han thought for a moment, then said:

"Our Blood Demon Palace doesn't have Xuanhuang Crystal, but we do have several other materials of the same level as other Opening Realm Treasures."

"Alright, do you have this on you?" Chen Feng asked.

According to his estimation, materials of the same level as Xuanhuang Crystal should also be able to be used to forge warp drives.

But Lin Wei and her team need to investigate to find out the answer.

Sui Han shook his head. "I naturally don't have any spiritual items of that level. Fellow Daoist, you can come with me to the boundary wall; my ancestor definitely has one."

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng immediately realized that if he didn't go to the boundary wall to help, the Blood Demon Palace would never give him the item.

"I'll be there in a month," Chen Feng stated, giving a date.

The reason he needed a month was because he planned to break through to the Dao Integration stage before going there.

"A month?" Sui Han was clearly dissatisfied with the date Chen Feng gave him; he wanted Chen Feng to go to the boundary wall with him right now.

"I have other things to do."

"Alright then, I'll congratulate you on your arrival, fellow Daoist." Sui Han didn't force Chen Feng.

Chen Feng nodded, and then flew towards the depths of the Void Realm.

After Chen Feng left, Zhang Guo said:

"This person is no ordinary individual; he's likely a powerful figure even outside the realm. Should we have our ancestor capture him directly?"

Xue Rao nodded as well:

"With the Ancestor's abilities, taking down this person shouldn't be a problem once he makes a move."

Although Chen Feng's physical body is strong, that's only at the Dao Integration level. If a Heavenly Venerable were to make a move, no matter how strong his physical body is, it would be useless.

Sui Han looked at the two of them:

"You could think of that, but didn't he think of it too?"

Zhang Guo and Xue Rao were both taken aback upon hearing this.

Sui Han was right. Didn't Chen Feng consider that their Blood Demon Palace's ancestor might intervene when he dared to go to the boundary wall to see them?

Clearly, the other party isn't stupid.

If the other party dares to agree, then they have something to back them up.

"Let's go back first. We must report the information from outside the boundary to the Ancestor as soon as possible. As for this person, we'll talk about him after he reaches the boundary wall," Sui Han said.

Zhang Guo and Xue Rao both nodded; the information Chen Feng gave them today was extremely important.

The outside world is actually a universe, and it contains countless star fields!

This means that primordial spirits may exist in those star fields.

The value of this is self-evident.
