Cultivation: Start From Simplifying Martial Arts Techniques

Just broke through the Mountain Sea Realm not long ago?

Fei Boyong lay in the deep pit, looking at Chen Fei in the sky. If this was called just recently breaking through the Mountain Sea Realm, then what about him, who had broken through hundreds of years ago?

Fei Boyong¹ s mind was in a daze at this moment. He had fought many battles at the level of the Mountain Sea Realm, facing the Monster King, but none had been as miserable as this.

A single sword strike left him severely injured, without even a hint of resistance.

At that moment just now, Fei Boyong, in a daze, thought he was facing a mid-level expert of the Mountain Sea Realm. But Chen Fei’s aura was indeed only at the initial stage, and there was indeed only one Divine Palace.

Such unpredictable strength, with a realm not much different from theirs, precisely because of this extreme contrast, left Fei Boyong at a loss.

Fei Boyong was bewildered, and while attacking Chen Fei, Tu Zaichuan took advantage of the situation, his confusion no less than Fei Boyong’s.

Fei Boyong would still doubt whether Chen Fei had just broken through the Mountain Sea Realm. Tu Zaichuan, on the other hand, was completely certain, after all, not even a year had passed.

With the memory of the Mountain Sea Realm, Tu Zaichuan could even vividly display the events that had occurred on the sea with the slightest hint of elemental power.

At that time, Chen Fei must have been at the peak Combined Aperture Tempering realm. Otherwise, if he were at the Mountain Sea Realm, he would have already intercepted when Tu Zaichuan led the Monster King Nie Li to the East Waters.

Moreover, in terms of sensing aura, Tu Zaichuan could perceive from Chen Fei’s body the subtle changes in elemental power that had just undergone transformation.

But how could he become so powerful just after breaking through? This completely defied logic!

Countless thoughts flashed through Tu Zaichuan’s mind, and his body instinctively began to retreat.

Even with the combined attack just now with Fei Boyong, they couldn’t do anything to Chen Fei, and Fei Boyong ended up severely injured.

Now, where would Tu Zaichuan dare to face Chen Fei alone? Naturally, he would first distance himself.

As Tu Zaichuan moved, a roar like that of an ancient beast sounded in his ears, and he felt his body sink as a tremendous force field enveloped the surroundings.

“We meet again!” Chen Fei turned to look at Tu Zaichuan, speaking calmly.

It was this person who had led the Monster King to the fleet before. If Chen Fei had been a little weaker back then, the entire fleet would have been destroyed.

Now, in this encounter, anyone could escape, except Tu Zaichuan, who must die!

Upon hearing Chen Fei’s words, Tu Zaichuan’s scalp went numb, his body trembling slightly. He immediately turned into hundreds of streams of blood, scattering in all directions to escape.

The Dragon Elephant Force Field was not a true domain, and without a physical Blood Spirit, it had strong resistance to various formations and domains.

“Hum!”

The Concealment Bell hung above Chen Fei’s head, emitting a huge light that enveloped an area of about a mile, causing hundreds of Blood Spirits to pause slightly.

When the Concealment Bell had been a medium-grade magic weapon, it had not been purely a defensive magic weapon. Now, after advancing to a spiritual treasure, defense was still not its main function.

The Concealment Bell possessed various abilities, but each ability was considered mediocre among spiritual treasures of the same rank.

The Concealment Bell had been quite ordinary, but for Chen Fei, it had been just right.

Chen Fei had operated the Heavenly Profound Sword, and thousands of sword lights had slashed out, piercing through the Blood Spirits. The Blood Spirits had struggled violently, trying to evade, but to no avail.

These Blood Spirits had, at most, been at the peak Combined Aperture Tempering realm. When the quantity had been sufficient, the qualitative change caused by the quantitative increase, led by Tu Zaichuan’s control of the Sinful Blood Source Formation, had been formidable.

But then, trying to escape, they had been momentarily held back by the Concealment Bell, leaving no chance for evasion.

The sword lights had pierced through the bodies of the Blood Spirits, and a piercing howl had emanated from their mouths, followed by a slow dissipation. Tu Zaichuan’s figure materialized, crushing the sword light in front of him.

His technique of splitting his figure was thwarted by Chen Fei, causing resentment to stir within Tu Zaichuan. Yet, he dared not delay even for a moment, struggling fiercely to break free from the restraint of the Concealment Bell.

Without hesitation, Tu Zaichuan directly ignited his essence, energy, spirit, and soul, unleashing a tremendous power from within. In the next moment, Tu Zaichuan transformed into a massive blood light, disappearing on the spot.

Burning one’s essence, energy, spirit, and soul was perhaps the most desperate method in the Mountain Sea Realm, but at the same time, it was also the most effective.

Chen Fei watched the blood light that Tu Zaichuan had transformed into and took a step forward, but the person had already vanished.

When he reappeared, he was directly blocking Tu Zaichuan’s path. “Teleportation?”

Seeing Chen Fei flash in front of him, Tu Zaichuan finally understood the method of the opponent’s appearance, feeling a significant chill in his heart.

Teleportation was a talent generally awakened and possessed by monsters.

While it wasn’t impossible for Mountain Sea Realm warriors to have opportunities to acquire it, it was indeed extremely rare. Once a warrior possessed the talent of teleportation, whether it was for escaping or pursuing others, they possessed an unparalleled advantage.

Tu Zaichuan’s body became like a gentle breeze, shifting direction against all odds, flying towards another direction.

It must be said that the Sinful Blood Source Technique had a significant advantage in escaping, as it could completely transform the body into Blood Spirits.

Without the constraints of a physical body, the speed of escape naturally advanced further. Moreover, now in a state of burning soul, this escape speed became even more astonishing.

But no matter how astonishing it was, in short distances, it still couldn’t compare to teleportation.

If escape techniques were represented by a line, then teleportation was point- to-point, incomparable.

Chen Fei’s figure flickered, once again blocking Tu Zaichuan’s path. This time, the distance between the two was even closer, and despite Tu Zaichuan’s astonishing agility, there was no space left for evasion.

“Ah!”

Seeing Chen Fei so close, Tu Zaichuan’s eyes instantly turned red. A short dagger appeared in Tu Zaichuan’s hand, his entire body surging with elemental power as he fiercely stabbed towards Chen Fei.

Chen Fei flipped the Qianyuan Sword in his hand, countless sword shadows following its blade. As the Qianyuan Sword thrust forward, thousands of sword lights accompanied its motion.

“Boom!”

The tip of the Qianyuan Sword collided with the Abyssal Dagger in Tu Zaichuan’s hand. Tu Zaichuan’s figure paused, and the blood light swirling around his body trembled violently.

A mighty force swept over Tu Zaichuan’s entire body, as if it was about to tear him apart. However, at this moment, a hint of confusion appeared in Tu Zaichuan’s eyes.

The power of this sword from Chen Fei was indeed strong, but it was much weaker than Tu Zaichuan had imagined.

Compared to the terrifying power Chen Fei had displayed when sweeping Fei Boyong away with a single sword strike earlier, the strength Chen Fei was showing now, although still formidable, was not beyond comprehension.

This level of strength was at least within Tu Zaichuan’s understanding, rather than the overwhelming dominance shown previously.

In his current state of burning soul, Tu Zaichuan found that he could perhaps engage with Chen Fei. If Fei Boyong were to join the fight again, they might even be able to force Chen Fei back!

So, the sword strike that had just swept Fei Boyong away must have been executed using some kind of secret technique!

Tu Zaichuan’s dim eyes suddenly brightened as he looked up at Chen Fei. The Abyssal Dagger in his hand stabbed forward once again, while Tu Zaichuan also sent a message to Fei Boyong below.

Fei Boyong struggled out from the rocks. Initially, he had intended to take advantage of Chen Fei’s attention being elsewhere to quickly flee.

However, the sword strike from earlier had already left Fei Boyong with severe injuries, and he had no intention of continuing to contend with Chen Fei.

As for whether Chen Fei had just broken through to the Mountain Sea Realm, none of that mattered now. What mattered was that he couldn’t win. If the fight continued, he would die!

Tu Zaichuan’s voice echoed in Fei Boyong’s ears. Fei Boyong subconsciously looked up and realized that the two had indeed just exchanged blows, resulting in a draw?

Although Tu Zaichuan was currently in a state of burning soul, without many Blood Spirits around, his strength was actually at a low point.

Even so, if he could fight Chen Fei to a draw like this, did that mean he didn’t need to flee?

Several miles away, Min Yanlu supported Gu Danying, watching the scene above with a puzzled expression.

Chen Fei had just appeared and severely injured Fei Boyong, which had startled Min Yanlu.

Although Min Yanlu knew that Chen Fei’s combat prowess was extremely formidable, having slain the Monster King in the Mountain Sea Realm and exchanging cultivation experiences with him a few days ago, and could discern the depth of Chen Fei’s background,

But witnessing Chen Fei demonstrate this level of power firsthand still felt unbelievable to Min Yanlu.

The shock of seeing it with his own eyes far exceeded hearing about it through rumors.

This level of power, to slay Tu Zaichuan and Fei Boyong, might not be easy, but it wasn’t far off either.

But what had happened with that sword strike just now?

Fei Boyong’s thoughts fluctuated, his gaze hesitant. Just as he was about to grit his teeth and rush up to join the fight, he saw that Chen Fei and Tu Zaichuan had already exchanged their second moves.

Tu Zaichuan’s expression at this moment, compared to before, had changed from restless to fierce once again.

Chen Fei’s expression remained calm, and the Qianyuan Sword he wielded seemed to be no different from before. However, with keen insight, one could discern that the power of this sword had already increased significantly. “Hum!”

The sky seemed to turn into a lake, and a huge wave swept out from the collision area.

Tu Zaichuan’s fierce expression froze for a moment. The Abyssal Dagger and the Qianyuan Sword were only in a slight stalemate, and then this fragile balance was broken in an instant.

Tu Zaichuan couldn’t control the Abyssal Dagger at all, and could only watch as it rolled back, smashing into his chest.

The immense force, like the upheaval of rivers and seas, caused the internal organs of Tu Zaichuan’s body to shift and rupture in an instant. The elemental defense burning within his body was as frail as paper, unable to intercept this overwhelming force.

“Boom!”

Tu Zaichuan’s figure flew backward, directly smashing through a mountain peak and creating a huge crater in the ground.

“Wham!”

In the deep pit, Tu Zaichuan tilted his head back, spraying out a mist of blood. The burning of his soul was abruptly interrupted, and his aura almost plummeted to below the Mountain Sea Realm.

With just one move, Tu Zaichuan was severely wounded, on the brink of death, much more severely than Fei Boyong’s injuries.

Fei Boyong, not far away, shuddered with fear. He dared not linger for a moment, taking a step forward and instantly disappearing from the spot.

In the deep pit, Tu Zaichuan struggled to stand up. In a daze, he was about to flee when he suddenly noticed a figure standing before him.

Tu Zaichuan looked at Chen Fei blankly. Why was there such a vast difference in power between the same sword strike before and now?

Was it deliberate?

Not content with just destroying him physically, but also seeking to crush him mentally? To raise a glimmer of hope in him, only to mercilessly crush it beneath his feet?

Chen Fei saw the look in Tu Zaichuan’s eyes, but he showed no intention of explaining. The Qianyuan Sword in his hand went straight for Tu Zaichuan’s neck.
