Cultivation: Start From Simplifying Martial Arts Techniques
Chapter 1080: Advance by RetreatingChen Fei shook his own aura in front of the formation, which was actually him releasing his suppressed Cultivation Realm.
Whether facing Si Sheng or Wu Luo, Chen Fei used only ten pieces of Space Secondary Rule Fragments, and the Desolate Universe God Splitting Sword was at the stage of Perfection.
When one’s cultivation realm is high enough, one can strictly control the output of power, especially with the Celestial Suppression’s perfect control over the physique; this allowed Chen Fei to display his aura without a single flaw.
At least within the Rule Integration Realm, even emperor-level powerhouses couldn’t notice anything unusual about Chen Fei.
The sword that killed Wu Luo just now, Chen Fei had intentionally used a technique from the Desolate Universe God Splitting Sword that was close to the stage of perfection, thus preventing Wu Luo from erasing the spatial changes in a short time.
A genius bursts forth in a key moment—you can’t find any fault with that.
After all, a genius is not a reasonable existence in the first place.
Otherwise, why would it take a normal cultivator thousands of years to reach the peak of the Rule Integration Realm, while a genius needs less than a thousand, or even just hundreds of years?
Especially at the moment of life and death, an extremely special circumstance, even a common cultivator may burst forth with great power.
Source: novgo.coThe power a genius bursts forth is just greater, which is completely reasonable!The human race’s Rule Integration Realm and Weng Zongfang both looked at Chen Fei with a hint of admiration in their eyes.
It’s no wonder he stood out from Qiankun Mansion and was the first to break through to the Rule Integration Realm; indeed, he cannot be judged by common sense.
The Ice Race and Evil Clans in the Rule Integration Realm were now all silent.
Kou Fen looked at Chen Fei, his gaze flickering.
This Chen Fei was a big problem, but he couldn’t pinpoint what was odd about him.
Had he concealed his strength? That’s why he was able to counter-kill Si Sheng and Wu Luo at critical moments?
But Chen Fei’s breakthrough to the Rule Integration Realm indeed took around a year, which could be confirmed through various channels.
A year is not short for mortals, and for many who had just broken through to the Rule Integration Realm, it might not even be enough to consolidate their realm.
The power Chen Fei had just displayed was already exaggerated.
It could even now be confirmed that the five from Lou Yu were killed by Chen Fei.
To grow so much in one year was already inconceivable.
There were none among the surrounding races’ emperor-level powerhouses who had performed better than Chen Fei at the early stage of the Rule Integration Realm when they were at that phase. ṘâꞐΟ₿Êŝ
To say that Chen Fei still had hidden strength under such circumstances would be too far-fetched.
The human race is not a particularly powerful race; their martial arts and resources are just those, the limits of what they can support are there, and there can’t be more.
“This child must not be left alive!”
Ao An’s voice reached Kou Fen’s ears, and although the one who died was not from the Evil Clans’s Rule Integration Realm, the situation for the Evil Clans and Ice Race was such that they either flourished or declined together.
If they allow the human junior down there to continue growing, they might have another Emperor Realm on their hands.
“What do you think? Has he hidden his strength?” Kou Fen asked solemnly.
Even though he felt it unlikely, Kou Fen still wanted to hear Ao An’s opinion.
“I can’t tell. But if this human junior really has hidden strength, shouldn’t we be all the more resolved to eliminate him?” There was a flash of cold light in Ao An’s eyes.
Kou Fen’s expression changed; he had just been thinking that because Chen Fei managed to counter-kill in both instances, perhaps he had hidden his strength.
But that was not the key issue. If Chen Fei indeed had hidden strength, then they should think of a way to keep him here forever.
A short time later, Chen Fei’s aura gradually calmed down, displaying about fifteen Space Rule Fragments.
Having broken through and then stood firm, an increase of five Rule Fragments directly was not a very exaggerated occurrence.
“Youngster, choose the spirit material you want,” Kou Fen said, looking at Chen Fei as he opened his eyes, speaking loudly.
A smile appeared on Chen Fei’s face as he looked at the several dozen spirit materials floating in the sky; after a moment’s thought, he used his essence force to pull down three kinds of spirit materials.
Earth Soul Bamboo, a sixth-tier mid-grade spirit material, could be directly ingested to strengthen the soul and Source Point Space of the Rule Integration Realm.
Wenhai Tree, also a sixth-tier mid-grade spirit material, had the same effect as Earth Soul Bamboo, and the method of ingestion was simple—grind it into a juice and then drink it.
Red Iron Earth, a sixth-tier top-grade spirit material, used for forging mystical treasures.
If it was refined into the Qianyuan Sword and Concealment Bell, it could replenish the essence of both treasures, making it easier for them to be improved in the future.
Of course, the most important thing was the Rule Crystal, which was what Chen Fei needed the most at the moment.
Adding to the one he got from killing Si Sheng, Chen Fei now had two Rule Crystals in his hand.
If used well, these two Rule Crystals could increase Chen Fei’s strength in a very short period of time.
Don’t look at how Chen Fei seems so at ease here; if he truly encounters a strong Rule Integration Realm cultivator, all Chen Fei can do is flee.
For example, if he were to face the emperor-level powerhouses in the sky right now, Chen Fei would have to run first.
If he faced them head-on, Chen Fei doubted he could even manage to escape; the gap in strength between them was too great.
As the Rule Crystal and the three spirit materials were stored inside the Concealment Bell, Chen Fei turned and flew in the direction of Jiguang City.
“Youngster, are you planning to leave just like this?” Kou Fen’s voice, sonorous and deep like a large bell, rang in Chen Fei’s ears.
Chen Fei’s soul quivered slightly, and he involuntarily halted his steps, turning his gaze back toward the position of the celestial vault.
“With insufficient cultivation, naturally I must return to diligently cultivate.”
A slight grin appeared at the corner of Chen Fei’s mouth as he said, “Just now, I was on the verge of death, so naturally, I dare not continue to make a fool of myself here.”
Kou Fen’s eyes narrowed slightly, finding it difficult to discern in Chen Fei’s current words, how much was true and whether he intended to use retreat as advance, aiming to kill even more from the Evil Clans’ Rule Integration Realm.
But just as Ao An said before, regardless of the situation, killing this Chen Fei here and now was of the utmost importance.
Otherwise, allowing Chen Fei to depart could mean the Evil Clans and the Ice Race might suffer even greater losses in the Rule Integration Realm in the future.
“According to our agreement just now, if you defeat a Rule Integration Realm cultivator of my clan, I shall reward you with three portions of spirit materials!” Kou Fen said with a heavy voice.
“I really can’t do it, I really can’t. That Wu Luo was already so powerful, the ones to come will definitely be even stronger cultivators from the Rule Integration Realm.” Chen Fei waved his hands dismissively.
With Wu Luo killed, it was almost inevitable that even stronger ones would be sent out afterward.
Chen Fei’s recent counter-kill in battle looked exceedingly perilous. Refusing to continue the duel was only natural, as one’s life is one’s own after all.
Kou Fen’s brow furrowed; it was clear that Chen Fei seemed to undervalue the spirit materials on offer, probably only a Rule Crystal or even Dimension Origins would entice him to take action again.
But whether it was Rule Crystals or Dimension Origins, the Evil Clans did not have a single one.
Those obtained previously in the Glass Space were truly all used up.
“Youngster, how exactly do you wish it to be!” Kou Fen said coldly.
“To return for extensive cultivation, farewell!” Chen Fei laughed out loud, turning to fly in the direction of Jiguang City.
Kou Fen turned to look at Ao An, who was watching the retreating figure of Chen Fei.
“Our loss may be very heavy!” Ao An transmitted his voice.
“As said earlier, if he truly concealed his strength, it is all the more reason we should eliminate him here!”
Thinking of Si Sheng and Wu Luo’s deaths, Kou Fen’s gaze filled with coldness.
Especially Si Sheng, such a genius who had the chance to break through to the Emperor Realm, now dead here.
And those from the Rule Integration Realm sent to assassinate Chen Fei in the past, if they too fell by Chen Fei’s hand, this human of the human race would already hold the blood of several from the Evil Clans’ Rule Integration Realm.
To watch Chen Feian leave unharmed, Kou Fen felt an unwillingness in his heart!
“Good!”
Ao An nodded and with a sweep of his right hand, the space below suddenly overflowed with an icy chill.
“Youngster, if you have the courage, try to pass through my Profound Return Formation. If you make it through, you may take these spirit materials as you wish.”
As Ao An’s words fell, the chill below gradually dissipated, and an Ice Corridor emerged across the sky.
From Ao An’s mystical treasures, over a dozen spirit materials flew into the Ice Corridor, while the spirit materials in front of Kou Fen also took flight, most entering the corridor as well.
Chen Fei paused midstep, turning to look at the Ice Corridor.
As Chen Fei turned, three members from the Evil Clans and three from the Ice Race, totaling six early-stage Rule Integration Realm cultivators, flew into the corridor, each one spaced out evenly, and separated by space barriers.
“Each one of these is less powerful than Wu Luo, do you dare to enter the formation?” Ao An asked.
If there were a choice, they would certainly send someone from the mid-stage Rule Integration Realm to kill Chen Fei, but this was a duel, not an assassination.
The Evil Clans and the Ice Race would not dare to let someone from the mid-stage Rule Integration Realm step forth, for then Chen Fei would certainly leave the area immediately.
Such a probe would be meaningless; instead, this kind of rotation battle, tempting him with great rewards, might still be a possibility.
The question was whether to let Chen Fei leave now and find another opportunity to assassinate him later,
Or to take a gamble at this moment, using the lives of six early-stage Rule Integration Realm members to bet against this human prodigy.
The first option, to assassinate, truly had slim chances unless the human race experienced major upheaval, which might provide an opportunity for success.
The second option could result in heavy losses. If Chen Fei truly had hidden strength, these six Rule Integration Realm members might not be enough to stop him.
The thought of Chen Fei potentially cultivating to the peak of the Rule Integration Realm in the future, if it were possible to exchange that for the lives of six early-stage Rule Integration Realm members now, the decision seemed suddenly more acceptable.
After all, if the human race gained another prodigy at the peak of the Rule Integration Realm, it wouldn’t be just a matter of six early-stage Rule Integration Realm members to fend off, and when the time came, the Evil Clans and Ice Race wouldn’t know how many Rule Integration Realm members would die.
“Emperor, is there a problem with this Ice Corridor?” Chen Fei looked up at Weng Zongfang and Tang Yunshou, transmitting his voice.
If there were any hidden traps in this corridor set by the Ice Race’s Emperor, Chen Fei reckoned he’d meet his end inside it.
“There is nothing wrong with the Ice Corridor, but such a fight is far too risky; do not act rashly!” Weng Zongfang advised.
The Ice Corridor was completely severed from Ao An’s essence, as Weng Zongfang and Tang Yunshou scanned the corridor, they confirmed it merely partitioned a section of space.
As long as the battle didn’t end, the corridor would remain in a closed state.
“I understand!” Chen Fei transmitted back.
Outside the formation, whether from the human race or the Evil Clans and Ice Race, all eyes were on Chen Fei, waiting for his decision.
To storm the formation, or something else?
Chen Fei regarded the Ice Corridor before him, realizing that at most he could only kill another six early-stage Rule Integration Realm cultivators.
