Cultivation: Start From Simplifying Martial Arts Techniques

A warrior who had achieved the Condensation of the Three Flowers at the peak of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm was thus cut down by Chen Fei with a single foot.

Dozens of people rushing over witnessed this scene, their eyes widening involuntarily.

They had considered this person might be quite formidable, after all, facing their siege without changing expression. However, they had never imagined the opponent would be so powerful.

All were at the peak of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm. How could the other party have struck down Lin Hanyu with just one move? This made no sense at all.

It would be understandable if Lin Hanyu had been injured, even seriously, but what they saw now was completely unreasonable. Unless this person was in the Mountain Sea Realm?

However, in terms of aura, they were definitely still in the Combined Aperture Tempering realm. If it were the Mountain Sea Realm, they would have dispersed long ago; how could they dare to encircle him?

They say many ants can kill an elephant; under suitable conditions, a group of Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators might be able to encircle and kill someone in the Mountain Sea Realm.

But that’s just theory. In the countless years in the Boundless Sea, they had never heard of a Mountain Sea Realm cultivator being so unlucky.

Countless thoughts flashed through the minds of the crowd as they continued to approach Chen Fei, but now with diminished courage. The next moment, numerous attacks struck towards Chen Fei from a distance.

Although these Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators surrounding him had never cooperated before, their mental connection in the Combined Aperture Tempering realm was sufficient for them to cover all the areas where Chen Fei could evade.

The void trembled as dozens of Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators launched a combined attack, their power reaching an extreme level. If one of the attacks delayed his movement, he would inevitably be overwhelmed by the others.

“Boom!”

The martial arena trembled violently, dust billowed, and the energy of heaven and earth boiled, affecting the perception of the surrounding Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators.

However, they didn’t specifically focus on perception; instead, they continued their attacks from a distance. Since no one had escaped from inside, he must still be in the same position as before.

As long as they kept attacking, even if he didn’t die now, he would inevitably be worn down to death later.

“Ah!”

A scream suddenly rang out from the periphery, followed by an abrupt silence. Others instinctively turned to look and saw that the person who had just screamed was now nothing but a bloody mist.

Standing beside the blood mist was none other than Chen Fei, who should have been at the center of the siege!

When did he manage to break free?

None of the dozens of Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators present noticed this?

No matter how fast one’s movements were, there would still be traces to follow, even if it were the techniques of the Mountain Sea Realm. They might not see it clearly, but they could sense something vague.

But just now, they didn’t sense anything at all, as if Chen Fei had suddenly appeared there.

“Teleportation?” someone exclaimed with trembling voice.

Only such a technique, traveling through the void, would leave no traces. But this talent belonged to monsters; not even the strong in the Mountain Sea Realm had ever possessed it. How could the other party perform such a feat?

Chen Fei looked at the Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators before him, his figure flickering as he appeared beside one of them in the late Combined Aperture Tempering realm, and his Broken Ruler in hand cleaved down directly.

Like an abyss, the view of this late Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivator was gradually consumed by the Broken Ruler.

In helpless struggle, this person knew that he was suppressed by Chen Fei’s mental power, unable to see the outside world clearly or resist. Only by breaking free from this mental suppression could he see reality clearly.

Mental turmoil was futile!

Burning the mind with forbidden techniques was still futile!

“Boom!”

Another explosion resounded, and the cultivator in the late Combined Aperture Tempering realm was instantly turned into a bloody mist.

The thoughts of this late Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivator were not wrong; indeed, he couldn’t see clearly around him or even perceive himself because of the suppression.

However, what he didn’t know was that he wasn’t just suppressed in his mind; more importantly, his soul was suppressed.

Therefore, no matter how much he tried to make his mind boil and burn, since he couldn’t touch his soul, it was all in vain.

The Mountain Sea Realm could effortlessly kill Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators, whether they were at the peak or in the early stages, and many of the reasons lay here.

Of course, besides the soul, the vigor and spirit of the Mountain Sea Realm were also far superior to those of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm. Generally, if a Mountain Sea Realm cultivator were to act against a Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivator, they might not even bother using their soul because it would be completely unnecessary.

Chen Fei slightly raised his head, and in his eyes, the world moved slowly. Thus, Chen Fei could see dozens of attacks rushing towards him.

Each attack was formidable, and because of their terror towards Chen Fei, these attacks had almost reached the peak level of these cultivators.

Even for a normal Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivator at the peak, encountering these attacks would almost inevitably result in a momentary halt, no matter how strong their strength was.

Even with Chen Fei’s current power, if he chose to confront them head-on, he would still be hindered, albeit for an extremely brief moment.

But even if it were brief, it would eventually give the surrounding Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators an opportunity.

Of course, Chen Fei could also choose to rely on the power of his Heavenly Eye, dissecting the attacks before him like a skilled butcher.

After all, attacks launched by dozens of people, no matter how well- coordinated, would inevitably have gaps. This was fundamentally different from attacks launched by a single person.

Chen Fei could exploit these gaps, using skillful maneuvers to escape the range of the attacks with just a little force.

But if he did so, it would ultimately turn into a battle of attrition, seeing who could endure to the end.

This was one approach, but with the innate talent of teleportation, Chen Fei’s choice could naturally be much simpler.

The power of innate talent sometimes amounted to a kind of leveling the playing field, which was particularly evident in the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, where other cultivators lacked innate talents.

And in the Mountain Sea Realm, innate talents remained a hard benchmark for combat effectiveness.

Although everyone possesses innate talents, the quantity of talents, the inherent strength of each talent, and how well you control that talent are all crucial factors.

Chen Fei disappeared from his original position, and when he reappeared, he had already teleported to the front of another peak Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivator.

Among these people, the ones who could truly threaten Chen Fei were these peak Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators. As long as these peak cultivators were slain, the rest of the group would collapse on their own!

Yue Zhongrong, seeing Chen Fei appear before him, was greatly alarmed, feeling almost crushed by the imposing aura.

Those who hadn’t directly faced Chen Fei couldn’t experience this awe-inspiring aura, nor could they imagine how terrifying and astonishing it was for a peak Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivator to emit such an aura.

Yue Zhongrong didn’t resist at all. His figure flickered as he desperately fled towards the rear.

“Roar!”

A shadow appeared behind Chen Fei, a six-legged dragon-scaled elephant body, adorned with stars and moons, treading upon the universe.

As the six legs touched the ground, a tremendous force acted upon Yue Zhongrong. His fleeing figure couldn’t help but pause.

Chen Fei moved like lightning, appearing in front of Yue Zhongrong, and swept down with his ruler.

“Ah!”

Yue Zhongrong let out a fierce roar, facing the terror of death, his eyes instantly turned red, and his essence, mental power, Three Flowers, and physical body all ignited.

This was a desperate measure even more thorough than forbidden techniques. By burning everything, even if he luckily survived this ordeal, Yue Zhongrong’s martial path would come to an end.

If luck was somewhat better, he might remain at the peak of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm. But if luck was a little worse, he would directly plummet in realm, potentially to the late Combined Aperture Tempering realm, mid Combined Aperture Tempering realm, or even the early Combined Aperture Tempering realm.

Exchanging all future possibilities for a single strike, his power reached its peak. In a trance, Yue Zhongrong sensed his own soul and could even use it slightly.

With the addition of soul power, the strength within Yue Zhongrong surged even further, and the spear in his hand seemed to transform into a real dragon, roaring as it charged towards Chen Fei.

“Boom!”

A ripple appeared on the martial arena, starting small but expanding into a massive disturbance in the blink of an eye. The energy of heaven and earth raged like a storm, engulfing everything.

Yue Zhongrong’s forward thrusting spear suddenly halted, and then his whole body involuntarily began to retreat. He took three consecutive steps backward, each step leaving behind a huge pit on the ground and causing him to cough up a mouthful of blood with each step.

In just a moment, Yue Zhongrong’s aura shifted from prosperity to decline, plummeting to the brink of death.

Yue Zhongrong stared at Chen Fei, his eyes filled with unwillingness and incomprehension. Clearly, he had unleashed the strongest move of his life, but still couldn’t overcome his opponent.

Could one reach such a position in the Combined Aperture Tempering realm?

“Bang!”

Yue Zhongrong breathed his last, falling backward onto the ground with a dull thud.

Chen Fei teleported through the void, dodging attacks from behind, and resumed slaying one person after another with his sword.

“Formation! Use formations!”

Someone shouted in terror. Formations could block teleportation. As long as they could prevent the opponent from moving freely like now, with the remaining strength of their group, they could still defeat Chen Fei.

There were formation masters present, and other Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators also had some knowledge of formations. Thus, as these people woke up from their stupor, formations began to coalesce on the martial arena.

They didn’t need these formations to be particularly strong; they just needed to hold off the opponent for a moment to turn the tide of the battle.

If they didn’t turn the tide soon, they would be slaughtered like pigs and sheep by Chen Fei.

Chen Fei stood at the edge of the martial arena, his hair fluttering, observing the actions of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators before him. A beam of light radiated from the center of his forehead.

The next moment, Chen Fei’s figure flickered, and he directly cleaved through a formation before him. This formation couldn’t even hold off Chen Fei for a moment; it shattered upon contact.

The cultivator in the late Combined Aperture Tempering realm who had formed the formation hadn’t even reacted when they saw Chen Fei appear before them, and his Broken Ruler enlarged before their eyes.

“Boom!”

Another burst of blood mist erupted in the air. The so-called formation couldn’t even hinder Chen Fei for a moment.

While formations could indeed block teleportation, they also affected the coordinated attacks among these Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators. In the blink of an eye, there was no time to coordinate amidst the chaos, and Chen Fei’s speed of slaughter was too fast.

Everyone present was terrified. They only thought about formations resisting teleportation but didn’t consider the other drawbacks of formations.

For these hastily gathered formations, others might only be able to forcibly break through them, but with Chen Fei’s Heavenly Eye technique, these formations were too crude. Chen Fei only needed to expend minimal effort to easily crush them.

Everyone watched helplessly as the late Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivator was slain, unable to do anything. Finally, the resilience in everyone’s hearts shattered.

In front of Chen Fei, all their techniques were as feeble as chickens and dogs, showing that the two sides were not even on the same level.

The Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators present were seasoned veterans, having forged resilient characters through countless battles. However, in the face of Chen Fei’s indiscriminate slaughter, they couldn’t hold on any longer.

Knowing they were doomed, it was difficult for anyone to remain unfazed.

In the blink of an eye, the Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators began to rapidly disappear from the scene.

Soul Heartstone?

The Dream Shadow cave can keep it!
