673. Setting up the Formation, No One Can Leave
"I agree," Lin Fei stated, his gaze icy as he looked at the Clairvoyant Supreme before him. "If the information about the Chaotic Behemoth does not satisfy me, you should be aware of the consequences."
Even though the Clairvoyant Supreme was a top-tier Supreme, Lin Fei was not intimidated. Indeed, even top-tier Supremes, without special means, could be slain by Lin Fei with ease given his current strength. Thus, to Lin Fei, a top-tier Supreme was not much different from a regular Supreme.
If the final information about the Chaotic Behemoth provided by the Clairvoyant Supreme did not satisfy Lin Fei, he would not let the matter slide.
In response to Lin Fei's threat, the Clairvoyant Supreme did not show anger but instead smiled lightly. "Rest assured, Supreme Lin. Help me compete for the Chaos Pearl. If you are unsatisfied with the information about the Chaotic Behemoth in the end, you are free to act against me at any time. Leave the judgment to Supreme Lin!"
The Clairvoyant Supreme was magnanimous, showing neither anger nor disturbance. It appeared he truly did possess information about the Chaotic Behemoth, perhaps even more than one.
"Very well, where do we go to vie for the Chaos Pearl?" Lin Fei asked. He understood that competing for the Chaos Pearl was not going to be an easy task. Once the Chaos Pearl appeared, it could not possibly be kept secret. It would certainly be discovered by countless Supremes, thus sparking a monumental contest.
Who would ultimately possess the Chaos Pearl was uncertain, but it would likely be a top-tier Supreme.
Now, although the Clairvoyant Supreme was a top-tier Supreme, he was not confident on his own. Therefore, he had enlisted Lin Fei. Together, the two top-tier Supremes might stand a chance.
"The Chaos Pearl has already appeared," the Clairvoyant Supreme revealed. "However, it has changed hands several times. Currently, it is near, or rather, in the Anlan Realm. Many Supremes have already gone there to contend for it. So, we too must hurry. We need to arrive in the Anlan Realm swiftly and forcefully to secure the Chaos Pearl."
"Anlan Realm?"
Lin Fei's gaze flickered with a curious light. He hadn't expected that the Chaos Pearl would once again be connected to a realm.
"Is there no Ruler in the Anlan Realm?" Lin Fei inquired further.
"There's no Ruler; Anlan Realm is inhabited by some Supremes," the Clairvoyant Supreme explained. "However, given the current situation, those Supremes from Anlan Realm can only stand aside and try to avoid the fierce competition for the Chaos Pearl to prevent their realm from being destroyed. For us, they pose no threat."
Lin Fei nodded. "There's no time to waste, let's depart immediately."
"Agreed, let's go at once!" Lin Fei and the Clairvoyant Supreme were not ones to dawdle. Decisively, they set off.
In a flash, the two transformed into a streak of light, speeding towards the depths of chaos.
...
Near the Anlan Realm.
Streaks of light flew in from the chaos, each one a Supreme turning their gaze towards the Anlan Realm. Anlan Realm was vast, but against such a number of Supremes, it hardly seemed so.
"More Supremes have arrived. The Anlan Realm has been turned upside down already, yet the Chaos Pearl still eludes us."
"Damn it, why did that Supreme who obtained the Chaos Pearl flee to our Anlan Realm? This is an unwarranted disaster."
"Nowadays, Anlan Realm is no longer just about Supremes. Many top-tier Supremes have also arrived. If the battle continues here, I fear Anlan Realm might not survive..."
The Supremes of Anlan Realm were deeply worried. Indeed, Anlan Realm was not a weak realm. In fact, it had been quite secretive previously.
Unfortunately, once a Supreme brought the Chaos Pearl here, many more Supremes followed. Since then, Anlan Realm was no longer a secret, its location was now exposed.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
If it were just that, Anlan Realm might still have stood a chance. After all, Anlan Realm actually housed many Supremes, even more than the Divine Realm, with dozens of Supremes. Yet, it had never birthed a realm Ruler.
Now, because of the Chaos Pearl, it wasn't just ordinary Supremes arriving but top-tier Supremes as well. Not to mention, Anlan Realm lacked a realm Ruler. Even if there were a Ruler, it might not have made a difference.
However, if there had been a Ruler, perhaps the Chaos Pearl would have ended up in the hands of Anlan Realm's Ruler. In that case, the other Supremes might not have had much of a chance.
With a whooshing sound, two figures appeared in the chaotic void outside the Anlan Realm.
"This is Anlan Realm," stated the Clairvoyant Supreme nonchalantly.
A flicker of curiosity crossed Lin Fei's gaze. He pondered for a moment before slowly asking, "The Chaos Pearl was brought into Anlan Realm by a Supreme, then went through some contention, and there were even Supremes who perished. Why didn't the Supreme who obtained the Chaos Pearl return to Kunyu City, or another city within the chaos? Once back in Kunyu City, no one is allowed to engage in combat. Wouldn't the Chaos Pearl be secured then?"
This was Lin Fei's question.
How could a small realm like Anlan possibly offer a hiding place?
The Clairvoyant Supreme smiled slightly and said, "Supreme Lin, do you think the Supreme who obtained the Chaos Pearl doesn't want to return to Kunyu City? On the contrary, he definitely wants to return to Kunyu City, he probably dreams of it. But can he go back? He cannot!
From the moment he obtained the Chaos Pearl, it became impossible for him to return to Kunyu City. Because he has been continuously hunted. Any Supreme who obtains the Chaos Pearl will be pursued and besieged. In such a situation, how could he possibly return to Kunyu City?"
Lin Fei understood. It was not that he didn't want to return, but that he couldn't.
Unable to return, the Chaos Pearl could only be repeatedly contested for within the Anlan Realm. Many Supremes had fallen during these conflicts, which was common.
Top-tier Supremes intervening and slaughtering ordinary Supremes was all too easy. The number of ordinary Supremes who had perished at Lin Fei's hands was uncountable.
After all, Lin Fei had "swept through" the entire Dark Demon Domain of its Supremes.
There were dozens, if not hundreds, of Supremes from the Dark Demon Domain. Killing Supremes was as easy as flipping his hand for Lin Fei. Of course, the Clairvoyant Supreme was unaware of Lin Fei's formidable strength.
However, the current focus was not on slaying ordinary Supremes. Even the Clairvoyant Supreme could accomplish that. The key was to locate the Chaos Pearl.
"The Chaos Pearl is likely already in the hands of a top-tier Supreme, currently within the Anlan Realm," the Clairvoyant Supreme declared coldly. "Thus, we don't need to enter Anlan Realm to compete for it. We'll just guard the outside. Anyone who dares to come out, we'll confront them—either they hand over the Chaos Pearl or they will be cut down!"
The Clairvoyant Supreme was ruthless. Rather than engaging in the fray within the Anlan Realm, he chose to guard its outskirts, ready in the chaotic void. After all, whoever obtained the Chaos Pearl would undoubtedly want to leave the Anlan Realm and return to Kunyu City. That would be Lin Fei and the Clairvoyant Supreme's opportunity to strike.
This approach, however, would require absolute strength to overpower any Supreme. Otherwise, it would be a joke.
"You have my thanks, Supreme Lin," the Clairvoyant Supreme said.
"It's settled then. Should any Supreme leave Anlan Realm, I will make my move," Lin Fei responded, his gaze intense as he watched over the Anlan Realm.
"Good, I will set up the formation now!" The Clairvoyant Supreme was already prepared. He began to arrange a formidable formation, one that would envelop the entire Anlan Realm.
Once the formation was complete, anyone emerging from Anlan Realm would be trapped by it. This formation served primarily as a warning mechanism. While it had a restraining effect, its power was not immense—it wouldn't stop a Supreme of Anlan Realm on its own.
However, there were Lin Fei and the Clairvoyant Supreme. Should anyone dare to forcefully break through the formation, that would be their cue to intervene. This strategy positioned them not just as gatekeepers but as the ultimate enforcers, ready to pounce at the first sign of the Chaos Pearl making its escape from the realm.
