The fall of a Supreme is no small matter. The appearance of blood rain was also highly abnormal, signaling that, even if it wasn't due to the fall of a Supreme, something significant had certainly occurred.
Thus, Lin Fei did not hesitate. He prepared to leave almost immediately. After all, during this time, he had swept through most of the Yin-Yang Immortal Domain and obtained enough essence of flesh and blood. It was enough to allow Lin Fei's Eternal Realm to give birth to more life, even to the point of creating animal life and even intelligent life! This allowed his Eternal Realm to continue advancing.
"System."
Lin Fei immediately summoned the system panel. He checked his current status.
Host: Lin Fei
Martial Realm: Martial Ancestor
World Level: Minor World (Progress 21%)
Illusory Realm: True Immortal-level
Lin Fei saw his world level, especially the Minor World. The progress had actually increased from 10% to 21%. This indicated that Lin Fei's Eternal Realm was continuously improving.
It was likely because Lin Fei had been continuously devouring a vast amount of Dark Demon flesh and blood essence, providing the Eternal Realm with abundant energy.
This led to the continual emergence of various forms of life in the Eternal Realm. Thus, the progress of the Eternal Realm could continue to increase. Although the progress was slow, it was very effective!
However, just as Lin Fei was preparing to traverse the void, suddenly, he sensed something was amiss. Behind him, unbeknownst to him, a figure had appeared.
This was a figure in a black robe. His presence wasn't overwhelmingly terrifying. He just stood quietly behind Lin Fei.
But precisely because of this, Lin Fei was exceptionally vigilant. He did not know when this robed figure had arrived behind him nor did he know who the figure was.
Furthermore, he was unaware of the figure's realm. By now, Lin Fei had encountered nearly all types of Dark Demons, from the lowest to nearly all the Dark Demon Emperors.
Lin Fei had even slain a Great Emperor. He was all too familiar with these Emperors. Yet, this robed figure was definitely a Dark Demon. That much Lin Fei was certain of.
As for whether he was an Emperor, Lin Fei was unsure. But Lin Fei had an inkling. A strong sense of threat emanated from this robed figure.
Could a Dark Demon Emperor pose such a great threat to him?
Lin Fei's expression grew even more solemn as he asked in a deep voice, "Who exactly are you?"
After a long pause, the robed figure spoke: "Are you Lin Fei of the Great Dream Sect?"
"Indeed, it is I."
"Good, I've found you. If that's the case, then prepare to die. Don't forget, the one who kills you is the Initial Demon Supreme!"
Lin Fei's eyes sharply focused: "Initial Demon Supreme? A Supreme from the Dark Demon Domain?"
Lin Fei was astonished. Weren't the Supremes engaged in a grand battle on the Chaos Battlefield? It was a place no Supreme could leave without greatly affecting the outcome of the war.
After all, with no overwhelming advantage on either side, the absence of even one Supreme could tip the scales of victory.

Yet now, a Supreme from the Dark Demon Domain had come specifically to target Lin Fei, a mere Martial Ancestor.
This could only mean one thing. The Dark Demon Domain, at least at the level of the Supremes, must have gained the upper hand. It was very possible that a Supreme from the Divine Realm had indeed fallen. Otherwise, the Dark Demon Domain wouldn't have spared a Supreme to deal with Lin Fei.
Of course, this was just Lin Fei's speculation. But such speculations were often close to the truth.
Lin Fei no longer cared how the Supreme had appeared. His immediate priority was to flee!
He harbored no illusions of grandeur about facing a Supreme. Though confident, he did not believe he was currently capable of contending with a Supreme.
Thus, Lin Fei's first reaction was to dive into a void passage and escape through space.
Initial Demon Supreme shook his head slightly, "You can't escape from a Supreme. Break!"
As Initial Demon Supreme's words fell, The void passage that Lin Fei was about to traverse shattered in response. The void passage completely collapsed. Lin Fei's form emerged somewhat disheveled and stumbling from the void.
"He can destroy a void passage? So it seems, trying to escape through the void in front of a Supreme is simply unrealistic."
Lin Fei's heart sank slightly. He felt the situation was becoming troublesome. If he couldn't escape, his only choice was to confront him directly. But, a Martial Ancestor confronting a Supreme? The outcome was already clear.
"Attack!"
Despite the great disparity, Lin Fei still did not give up. Instead, he took the initiative. The Eternal Realm erupted thunderously, and Lin Fei, transforming into the world, swept towards Initial Demon Supreme. As the Eternal Realm was about to envelop Initial Demon Supreme,
"Buzz."
Suddenly, the Illusory Realm also descended!
Lin Fei, without a moment's hesitation, deployed the Illusory Realm. Using the Illusory Realm in conjunction with the Eternal Realm, he launched a thunderous strike.
Lin Fei had no illusions of defeating Initial Demon Supreme. He was merely trying to buy himself a little time. With just a little time, he could escape. But could the Illusory Realm restrain Initial Demon Supreme? Even for just an instant.
Lin Fei didn't know.
The moment the Illusory Realm descended, Lin Fei's Eternal Realm had already unleashed all its power.
"Boom."
Finally, Lin Fei's full-force strike from the Eternal Realm fiercely hit Initial Demon Supreme. Simultaneously, the Illusory Realm also descended.
At that instant, Initial Demon Supreme's body slightly shook. A hint of confusion flashed in his eyes. And it was this moment that gave Lin Fei his chance.
"Go."
Without hesitation, after unleashing the strongest strike from his Eternal Realm, Lin Fei immediately dove into a spatial passage. He traveled through space, escaping.
The Initial Demon Supreme was ultimately restrained by the Illusory Realm and the Eternal Realm. Even if just for a moment, he was indeed restrained.
By the time he regained his senses and attempted to break through the spatial passage, it was too late. Lin Fei had already vanished without a trace.
"Well played, Lin Fei! To escape right before me is an accomplishment. However, even if you escape, you cannot change the overall situation. Our Dark Demon Domain will ultimately dominate the entire Divine Realm!"
Initial Demon Supreme's eyes narrowed slightly. Though he was somewhat surprised internally, that he had personally failed to capture Lin Fei.
Lin Fei indeed had some tactics. But Initial Demon Supreme didn't care too much. The key to victory lay in battles between the Supremes.
In the time to come, the Divine Realm would likely struggle to mount a defense. The fall of the Yin-Yang Immortal Domain was just a matter of time.
...
"Whoosh."
Lin Fei stumbled as he leapt out from the void, arriving in Ancient City. He looked around. He was indeed back.
Lin Fei finally felt somewhat relieved.
"It was a close call, nearly couldn't make it. The Supreme completely dominates. If not for Initial Demon Supreme's oversight, momentarily restrained by my Illusory Realm, this might have ended very badly for me."
Lin Fei murmured softly, analyzing the gains and risks of his journey to the Yin-Yang Immortal Domain.
Clearly, Lin Fei had gained a lot. But, it was also an incredibly risky venture. Had it not been for Lin Fei's decisive action, boldly deploying the Illusory Realm and the Eternal Realm, he would have been in big trouble. He might have never been able to return to Ancient City.
"Swish."
Lin Fei released many members of the Great Dream Sect. He addressed them, "We have returned to Ancient City. With the frontline situation deteriorating and the strategic landscape changing, everyone stays in Ancient City for now. Enhance your strength as quickly as possible and await further orders."
"We understand, we will obey the Martial Ancestor's orders!"
Thus, they all departed.
Lin Fei assessed the situation. He then instantly flew back to his residence and entered his private chamber.
Lin Fei focused his mind and went to Great Dream City. More precisely, he directly entered the fourth level of the dream, within the Divine Dream Realm. He knew that the Great Dream Ancestor must be in there.
Lin Fei sought the Great Dream Ancestor, also to inquire about certain matters and gather some news.
