Cultivation: Start From Simplifying Martial Arts Techniques

If there were others here right now, seeing Chen Fei’s posture, they would instinctively think that he was fighting for his life.

The Seven Star Illumination Technique is quite famous on the Middle Continent, very powerful, but not sustainable. Typically, it wouldn’t be used unless it’s a critical moment.

As for the Burning Soul Sacrifice, especially in such a frenzied state, it’s almost only used when facing a desperate situation.

Because using such a method to burn the soul has severe consequences. Even with the best spiritual materials afterward, if mishandled, recovery may be nearly impossible.

Moreover, if the battle is prolonged, one might end up burning oneself out.

The thunderous roar gradually subsided, and Chen Fei sheathed his sword, revealing the figure of Chi Yun in the midst.

Thirty percent of his body directly dissipated, more than half of his flesh turned to charcoal. Whether in the realm of mountains and seas or as a Monster King, with such injuries, one would have long been dead.

Yet, Chi Yun survived. Despite being heavily wounded, his aura still hinted at the ability to fight, especially the golden horn on his head, emitting a halo that enveloped him.

This halo caused Chi Yun’s injuries to heal at an incredibly fast pace.

Chen Fei’s expression twitched slightly. The vitality of monsters was strong, but not to such an exaggerated extent.

He glanced at the sharp horn on Chi Yun’s head. Was this the bloodline inherited from a Sixth-Tier or higher expert?

If one were to draw a comparison, this creature’s status exceeded even the geniuses in the Sacred Lands by far.

Because a mid-level prodigy in the Sacred Lands of the Mountain Sea Realm, if faced with Chen Fei’s recent sword strike, would turn directly to ash.

“Kill!”

Chi Yun roared hoarsely. The golden light on his horn instantly surged, then the golden color on the horn flowed down like liquid, penetrating Chi Yun’s body. This caused his already bursting aura to surge even more.

When Chi Yun had just rushed out from the altar, he was full of confidence. After all, he was a descendant of an Emperor, with top-notch bloodlines and techniques.

Although due to the constraints of the altar, he couldn’t carry too many exotic treasures, Chi Yun didn’t care.

But it wasn’t until Chen Fei unleashed that sword strike that Chi Yun realized he had perhaps misjudged.

Trying to evade, he found that this human’s attack was astonishingly fast.

There was no avoiding it, no escaping it. In the end, he had to directly face this sword strike head-on.

This sword strike shattered Chi Yun’s arrogance in an instant, and he suddenly realized his life was in danger.

The confidence he had when seeking permission from the Emperor, the spirited demeanor before teleportation—all of it was brought crashing down to reality. Now, Chi Yun’s only concern was how to survive.

Retreating would only hasten his death. His only chance was to fight desperately to carve out a path to survival!

A faint light glimmered at Chen Fei’s brow, and Chi Yun’s movements seemed to slow down in Chen Fei’s eyes.

This wasn’t just the ability of the Heavenly Eye; it was also the innate Thunderstorm talent and the perfected state of the Purple Sky Stellar Technique, which enhanced Chen Fei’s reaction speed with thunderous power.

The anomaly on Chi Yun’s horn, akin to the Burning Soul Sacrifice in the Mountain Sea Realm or the overuse of bloodline power by monsters, was a desperate counterattack in dire circumstances.

Chi Yun possessed a Sixth-Tier bloodline, albeit diluted, but the power he wielded after overexertion would still be formidable.

Yet Chen Fei was stronger!

“Hum!”

Raising his sword, Chen Fei summoned seven massive thunderbolts from the sky, their brilliance intertwined with the Seven Star Illumination Technique within him. Then, the thunderbolts merged into one.

A thunder pillar nearly half a mile wide completely enveloped Chen Fei from all directions.

“Roar!”

Chi Yun’s immense roar echoed loudly, but soon, his roar was drowned out by the thunderous noise.

At the other end of the altar, within the Silent Annihilation Gorge, all the monsters sensed the battle in the Boundless Sea.

Despite the barrier of the void making perceptions extremely vague and details almost nonexistent, they could still roughly make out something.

Contrary to their expectations, after Chi Yun arrived, there was no scene of him forcefully suppressing the human.

Instead, Chi Yun was first heavily injured by a sword strike, then forced to overuse his bloodline. Even so, the situation didn’t seem favorable.

In the Boundless Sea, the Thousand Feathers Alliance.

In just a dozen breaths, the thunder pillar dissipated. In front of Chen Fei, Chi Yun, now covered in charcoal, fell downward.

Chen Fei’s mind moved slightly, controlling his elemental power to pull Chi Yun towards him.

With this sword strike, Chen Fei almost shattered the vitality of the creature before him.

Facing such an unreasonable accumulation of power from Chen Fei, even descendants of Emperors were ineffective.

Of course, creatures like Chi Yun, possessing special bloodlines, as they advance in realms, the awakened bloodlines will become stronger.

But that’s all in the future. Currently, Chi Yun simply cannot defeat Chen Fei; he’s being completely overwhelmed.

Right now, he’s in a near-death state.

It’s only his extraordinary bloodline that is hanging onto Chi Yun’s vitality desperately, preventing him from truly dying.

“Where do you come from?” Chen Fei looked down at Chi Yun, using his spiritual power to shake the energy of heaven and earth.

Language barriers didn’t matter; shaking spiritual power could almost convey the general meaning.

“Lowly runts! Sooner or later, our clan will completely conquer your plane!” Chi Yun looked up at Chen Fei, shouting loudly.

Chen Fei’s eyes flickered slightly, and he activated the Divine Blessing Dream Entry Technique, probing into Chi Yun’s soul with dream power.

But before the dream could take hold, a golden light flashed, and the dream power was directly severed.

Chen Fei furrowed his brow slightly. The opponent’s bloodline was indeed dominant. Despite being on the verge of death, the Divine Blessing Dream Entry Technique still couldn’t succeed.

Certainly, the proficiency of Chen Fei’s Divine Blessing Dream Entry Technique at this moment may indeed have a lot to do with his mastery level.

But considering the opponent’s bloodline reaching the Sixth-Tier or higher, Chen Fei estimated that even if the Divine Blessing Dream Entry Technique reached a state of near-perfection, it could only forcibly capture fragmented information.

After all, the Divine Blessing Dream Entry Technique was ultimately a technique of the Mountain Sea Realm, mystical but not flawless. Even the Dream Shadow Master hadn’t broken through to the Sun and Moon Realm.

Chi Yun staggered for a moment, then immediately laughed mockingly as he sensed Chen Fei’s attempt to invade his soul.

“Lower race, do you really think you can—”

“Hmph!”

The sword blade sliced through the air, and the Qianyuan Sword’s blade swept across Chi Yun’s head. Chi Yun’s voice abruptly stopped, his eyes widening as he stared at Chen Fei.

Amidst the booming sound, purple thunderlight completely enveloped Chi Yun’s body, severing the last flicker of vitality.

Chen Fei casually asked about the situation regarding the opposing race and their plane.

Uncertain about whether the altar, the Dragon Elephant Stone Stele, and the pointed to the same spatial plane, Chen Fei pondered the connections among them.

Since the creature refused to speak, there was nothing more to discuss—Chen Fei swiftly executed it and extracted its spiritual essence.

A golden light burst forth from within Chi Yun, madly flying towards the altar.

With a flash of Xuanyuan Sword, Chen Fei intercepted Chi Yun’s soul directly.

Without a physical body, a soul was like a rootless tree. Even if it retained some power, it was incomparable to its original state.

Evenatits peak, Chi Yun couldn’t withstand Chen Fei’s attack. Now, reduced to just a soul, Chi Yun couldn’t stir up any trouble.

Although Chi Yun’s soul, due to its Sixth-Tier bloodline, possessed some mystical qualities, it was ultimately extinguished by Xuanyuan Sword.

Chen Fei’s right hand moved slightly, and a cluster of spiritual essence flew out from Chi Yun’s body.

Pure!

As this cluster of spiritual essence landed in his hand, Chen Fei sensed something distinctly different compared to other spiritual materials.

If one were to make a comparison, it was akin to the difference between a fifty- year-old vintage of a particular material and one aged over a hundred years.

They were the same material, yet fundamentally different in essence.

The marvels of bloodlines were extraordinary.

Compared to humans who relied on comprehending techniques and refining qi to advance their realms, these powerful creatures with potent bloodlines could smoothly elevate their realms through specific inherited techniques that continually tapped into their bloodlines.

Depending on the thickness of their bloodlines, they could naturally reach a certain realm upon birth, like being Second-Tier, and in just a few years, effortlessly ascend to the Third-Tier.

With a bit more cultivation, they broke through to the Fourth-Tier.

These descendants of powerful bloodlines differed from the rampant creatures in the Boundless Sea today, which were artificially bred and capped at the Fourth-Tier.

They lacked spiritual insight and had extremely short lifespans.

They were more like tools created under the specific environment of the Boundless Sea, traded by the Black Divine in exchange for their own essence, manipulated to adjust rules.

The creatures behind this altar were somewhat similar to monsters, but unlike the Boundless Sea’s monsters, they lacked inheritance.

Many monsters instinctively excavated their bloodlines, with their potential depending on their individual enlightenment.

“Lower race…”

Chen Fei thought about the way the opponent had addressed him so naturally, indicating that this was likely their usual perception. This couldn’t help but lead Chen Fei to certain thoughts.

However, the information he had received so far was scant, and Chen Fei couldn’t ascertain the specifics just yet.

After storing the spiritual essence in the Qianyuan Sword, Chen Fei turned his head towards the altar.

From the appearance of Chi Yun to his defeat by Chen Fei, not much time had actually passed.

Chen Fei had initially expected more creatures to be sent over from the other side through teleportation, but so far, the altar remained silent.

Through the altar, Chen Fei’s gaze vaguely discerned the scene on the other side.

It was dim and lightless, as if all light were being swallowed up.

A gaze suddenly collided with Chen Fei’s consciousness. He lifted his gaze and once again saw the figure of a powerful being of at least the Sixth-Tier.

Though not clearly visible, the faint sense of presence alone conveyed the terrifying power contained within that figure.

Even after slaying one of their descendants, such a being would likely not remain indifferent.

Whether out of sorrow for their descendant or more because Chen Fei had once again obstructed their path, such a being would surely be greatly angered.

What’s more important is that Chen Fei’s current realm was utterly insignificant in the eyes of the opponent.

Yet it was precisely this seemingly insignificant human who obstructed their plans.

Chen Fei withdrew his gaze and retrieved a jade bottle from his sleeve, crushing it.

A black mist flashed, enveloping Chen Fei with the aura of the Black Divine, conveniently shielding him from that probing gaze.
