"The prime plane exists, so you exist. You are immortal with the heavens and share the same origin as the universe. While you appear invincible, you are in fact vulnerable.
Should the day come when we devour your authority and annihilate your will, the prime plane will persist, but you will vanish.
The heavens and earth will remain the same, but you will cease to be.
You always claim to be the will of the heavens and the embodiment of the universe; your scope is too limited.
I am like you, at least in our current states, but I am not content with this.
I no longer wish to be immortal with the heavens, nor do I wish to have my fate tied to the negative plane. I want to break free from these shackles. What I aim to do is to become the master of the negative plane, not its…
slave!"
Han Fengxue's words struck Wan Lei with immense shock, his spirit in turmoil.
The Demon Lord was the supreme sovereign of the negative plane, the master of countless demons, already standing at the pinnacle of the universe. Yet, Han Fengxue was not satisfied. He desired to be the strongest, and even the strongest of the negative plane was not enough for him. He aimed to surpass all Immortal Lords and Demon Lords.
To achieve true transcendence and absolute freedom.
Such a grand vision, such perspective, such magnanimity!
This was Han Fengxue, possessing the ultimate protagonist template.
At this moment, Wan Lei suddenly felt as if the Immortal Lords and himself were villains, destined to be crushed into pieces by this protagonist, Han Fengxue.
Quickly, Wan Lei steadied his mind. His Dao heart had wavered just moments ago.
While lamenting Han Fengxue's fearsomeness, Wan Lei also became vigilant.
This man was their greatest enemy from the prime plane. Even if he were to become an Immortal Lord, he might not be a match for him. He had to be placed in the highest regard.
Han Fengxue, the Jealous Demon Lord, the Master of the Plane, Transcendence…
These words, so distant and unattainable for Wan Lei, were etched into his mind.
But… had Han Fengxue truly found a way to transcend the position of Immortal Lord and escape the confines of the universe?
If so, would the prime plane not be doomed to failure?
If Han Fengxue had found a method, he would surely implement it step by step. Meanwhile, the Immortal Lords of the prime plane had not even gathered the complete authority of the seven great Immortal Lords.
Was there truly no way for them to achieve transcendence before Han Fengxue?
No wonder, no wonder Xia Dayu had told him earlier,
"Time is running out."
No wonder the Immortal Lords themselves were here to soothe his mindset and guide his comprehension.
The Immortal Lords must have sensed something.
Yes, it must be so. If the Immortal Lords knew nothing, then with Han Fengxue's intelligence, he would not have foolishly come here to boast and tell Xia Dayu that he had found a method for transcendence.
He would have cultivated silently and, after transcending, arrived at the prime plane to dominate them.
"Heh heh heh, I have transcended, little Immortal Lords. Aren't you surprised? Aren't you shocked?"
"Your method may be correct, or it may be wrong, but who can guarantee it with absolute certainty? However, you must understand that if you make even the slightest mistake, you will perish without a burial place."
Xia Dayu said indifferently.
"Heh heh, more than perishing without a burial place. Perhaps the entire negative plane will be severely weakened, all rules will collapse suddenly, and all authority will be destroyed. At that time, you Immortal Lords can easily control the negative plane.
Using that divine ability of yours, the one that can alter the rules of the universe."
"Da Yu Wei Chen."
"Oh, right, Da Yu Wei Chen. You can easily refine the entire negative plane, and then all demons will be your slaves."
Although Han Fengxue spoke in severe terms, his expression remained relaxed. It seemed as if he had been smiling casually since his appearance. In contrast, Xia Dayu, with his stern and unsmiling demeanor, appeared to be at a disadvantage in terms of aura.
Clearly, both were venerable beings, but Han Fengxue was more confident, and also more aggressive.
"Since you know it's so dangerous, why are you still doing it? Aren't you afraid of eternal damnation?"
"Hahaha, if I don't do this, I am already at my peak, with no possibility of further progress. I would have to spend my days with those six fools, and consult them on everything. I have endured this for fifty thousand years. Must I endure it any longer? It would be better to die.
I am not satisfied with the current situation. There should be no one in this world who can stand on equal footing with me!
Moreover, if I don't do this, will I have to watch helplessly as your prime plane fills those two supreme authorities and balances the gap between you and us Demon Lords?
Xia Dayu, you and I both know that if your prime plane truly completes its supreme authority, with your Da Yu Wei Chen ability, you can directly seal and refine our negative plane, alter the authority and rules, and annihilate our will. At that point, we will have no chance of recovery.
In other words, if I don't do this, I am surely doomed. If I do it, there is a sliver of hope.
If this succeeds, I can naturally achieve great transcendence and rise above all planes and beings.
If I fail, it is merely death. Since I am going to die anyway, dying at the hands of those few fools is better than watching you destroy us. I would rather die."
Han Fengxue's words left Xia Dayu speechless. He knew Han Fengxue was right; there was no refuting him.
Wan Lei, meanwhile, was filled with immense dread. He knew very well who Han Fengxue's "six fools" referred to—it must be the six great Demon Lords. But from Han Fengxue's tone, it seemed he was going to war with the other six Demon Lords?
The kind of war where there was no turning back?
This shouldn't be the case. Weren't they on the same side? Whether Han Fengxue died or the other six died, it would be a serious internal conflict.
Unless… the deaths of those six would somehow aid Han Fengxue's transcendence.
Or perhaps, this was a path Han Fengxue absolutely had to take.
"Alright, we've talked enough. I'm only telling you these things, but you mustn't tell those six fools, hahahaha…
I never thought that the only one in this world with whom I could truly express myself would be my enemy.
Hahahaha…"
Han Fengxue laughed heartily, and his figure dissipated.
But Wan Lei couldn't shake the feeling that before he vanished, he had glanced at him subtly?
"Let's go."
Xia Dayu said indifferently, his expression somewhat lost.
"Ah? We're leaving already?"
As soon as Wan Lei finished speaking, he saw that they had returned to the Five Elements Hall.
"Han Fengxue will be busy. It's both good and bad news, at least you don't have to worry about him targeting you when you go to the Bitter Sea battlefield later. He won't have the time."
"That… what exactly is Han Fengxue's plan?"
Wan Lei asked curiously.
"It's useless to tell you. You can probably guess most of it anyway. Knowing too much in advance would also put too much pressure on you, which isn't a good thing."
