627. Summoning the Divine Realm Supremes

"Oh, you wish for me to test your Illusory Realm?" The Azure Emperor Supreme was somewhat surprised, his eyes gleaming with keen interest. In fact, he had long wanted to test Lin Fei's Illusory Realm.

After all, he had witnessed its power firsthand when even the Initial Demon Supreme could not withstand it and was "shaken" by Lin Fei.

"Very well! I accept your challenge. Let's see just how formidable your Illusory Realm is."

"Then, Azure Emperor Supreme, please be cautious!" Lin Fei thought and with that intention...

"Hum."

Instantly, the Illusory Realm descended. Lin Fei's Illusory Realm, once manifested, could immediately drag an opponent into it, thus exerting a mental suppression. Even the former Initial Demon Supreme could not withstand it. Now, Lin Fei was testing the limits of the Illusory Realm, and thus, he held nothing back and gave his all.

Once the Illusory Realm enveloped the Azure Emperor Supreme, who had been well-prepared, believing in the strength of his mental will, he found himself instantly suppressed.

One breath, two breaths, three breaths... up to five breaths passed.

Lin Fei noted that the duration his Illusory Realm suppressed the Azure Emperor Supreme was significantly longer than the time it had suppressed the Initial Demon Supreme.

Previously, although Lin Fei could suppress the Initial Demon Supreme, the Illusory Realm could only do so for about one breath's time.

But now?

After a full eight breaths, the Azure Emperor Supreme showed no signs of recovery. Only after ten breaths did his gaze gradually clear.

"How long was that?" the Azure Emperor Supreme asked, somewhat dazed but roughly guessing he had been suppressed.

"About ten breaths," Lin Fei replied.

"Ten breaths..." The Azure Emperor Supreme fell silent. For Supremes, ten breaths were an unimaginably long duration.

A single breath was enough for Supremes to accomplish much and ten breaths? If facing another Supreme of the same level, the time Lin Fei's Illusory Realm suppressed the Azure Emperor Supreme—ten breaths—would be sufficient to allow an opponent to kill the Azure Emperor Supreme several times over.

The Illusory Realm, indeed, surpassed the expectations of the Azure Emperor Supreme. It wasn't simply a matter of strong mental will; there was no resisting once the Illusory Realm descended.

"Wait, if the Illusory Realm is this powerful," he pondered aloud, "could it suppress multiple Supremes at once? Like, three or five Supremes?"

The Azure Emperor Supreme seemed to have thought of something significant and immediately inquired.

Lin Fei pondered for a moment before slowly responding, "If it's three or five Supremes, the Illusory Realm might indeed suppress them. However, it probably couldn't suppress them for as long a duration. Perhaps it would only manage three or five breaths. To know for sure, we'd need to test it."

Despite Lin Fei's conservative estimation, the Azure Emperor Supreme's eyes lit up, visibly excited.

"Three breaths, five breaths, hahaha, that's enough! Even if it could suppress for a single breath, that would be sufficient!" he exclaimed. "Once suppressed by your Illusory Realm, even just for a breath, they would be completely unguarded, essentially sitting ducks. At that moment, if I—or another Supreme—were to strike unexpectedly, could we not potentially eliminate some of the Dark Demon Domain's Supremes?"

"Eliminate the Dark Demon Domain's Supremes?" Lin Fei was startled by the idea.

Indeed, eliminating Supremes from the Dark Demon Domain, even if they possessed the Dark Demon Heart and could regenerate, what immense resources would it consume? How much energy? And importantly, how much time?

Clearly, once a Supreme of the Dark Demon Domain fell, it would not be a swift recovery for them. Such a blow would be significant for the Dark Demon Domain.

After all, Supremes are the elite core in any realm. The fall of a single Supreme in the Divine Realm had frightened many Supremes into leaving. If the Dark Demon Domain were to lose one or even several Supremes, what an immense morale boost it would be for the entire Divine Realm! It might even throw the Dark Demon Domain into disarray.

The more the Azure Emperor Supreme thought about it, the more he saw it as a viable strategy.

"If we can somehow eliminate one, two, or even three Supremes from the Dark Demon Domain," the Azure Emperor Supreme contemplated, "it might just compel them to temporarily halt their expansion or invasion. This would be crucial for our entire Divine Realm. At the very least, it would buy more time for the Divine Realm."

Lin Fei understood the Azure Emperor Supreme's plan. He was preparing to use Lin Fei's Illusory Realm as a "support" tool for the Supremes—aiding them in their battle against the Supremes of the Dark Demon Domain.

"Azure Emperor Supreme, your suggestion is worth a try," Lin Fei acknowledged. "However, facing so many Supremes from the Dark Demon Domain alone might be insufficient. It would be best to gather more Supremes, perhaps even all the Supremes of the Divine Realm, and then engage in a grand battle with the Dark Demon Domain—a battle of Supremes! Once victorious, or if we manage to slay some of the Dark Demon Domain's Supremes, it would also boost the morale of our Divine Realm and could severely demoralize the Dark Demon Domain."

Lin Fei agreed with the strategy. Of course, this plan was not without its flaws. Indeed, Lin Fei might find himself in danger.

After all, this would be a battle of Supremes, and Lin Fei, directly participating in such a Supreme battle, could attract the focused attention of the Dark Demon Domain's Supremes.

"Lin Fei, do not worry," the Azure Emperor Supreme reassured him. "Not all of the Divine Realm's Supremes have left. Though few remain—less than the number of fingers on both hands—there are still some. This time, to battle the Dark Demon Domain, we must gather them all to act together."

Lin Fei nodded, "Then I leave it all in your capable hands, Azure Emperor Supreme."

"Very well, I will notify them now," declared the Azure Emperor Supreme.

Thus, Lin Fei took his leave and returned to his own residence. Gathering the other Supremes of the Divine Realm would take some time, and Lin Fei could use this opportunity to carefully assess his own strength.

Now, Lin Fei's Eternal Realm had also greatly improved. Even if it could not withstand a hit from a Supreme, it wouldn't collapse instantly.

Moreover, Lin Fei still had the Illusory Realm, always ready to "suppress" those Dark Demon Domain Supremes, buying him time and opportunities to escape. The so-called dangers, for Lin Fei, were not as significant.

Now, it remained to be seen how many Supremes would be willing to engage in another grand battle with the Dark Demon Domain.

"I hope the Azure Emperor Supreme can persuade those Supremes of the Divine Realm..." Lin Fei mused, with no better plan at hand, he could only quietly wait.

At the abode of the Azure Emperor Supreme, one after another, figures emerged from a spatial passage. These figures were all Supremes.

One by one, two by two, until finally, seven figures had stepped out from the passage—all Supremes. Together with the Azure Emperor Supreme, they totaled eight Supremes.

However, the Azure Emperor Supreme furrowed his brow and asked, "Where is Supreme Xuanzhao? Why hasn't Supreme Xuanzhao come?"

The Azure Emperor Supreme was familiar with these Supremes and even knew clearly which Supremes remained in the Divine Realm. Among them, only Supreme Xuanzhao was absent, prompting his inquiry.

"Xuanzhao has left the Divine Realm," one of the Supremes sighed heavily and slowly explained. "He has gone to the Chaos and will not return."

A silence fell over the group, and the Azure Emperor Supreme did not speak further. Another Supreme had departed. The number of Supremes remaining in the Divine Realm was dwindling. Perhaps one day, the Divine Realm might indeed find itself devoid of any Supremes.

"Well then, since Supreme Xuanzhao has made his choice to leave, that is his decision," the Azure Emperor Supreme finally spoke again. "The reason I have called you all here is to prepare for another grand battle with the Dark Demon Domain—a battle at the level of Supremes! This battle may very well be a turning point for the Divine Realm. And I have already seen a glimmer of hope!"

With these words, the purpose of the gathering was made clear; yet, the seven Supremes of the Divine Realm fell into a deep silence.
