Cultivation: Start From Simplifying Martial Arts Techniques Chapter 1082: Chapter 1038: Behind the Scenes

Chapter 1082: Chapter 1038: Behind the Scenes

Chai Qi stared blankly at Chen Fei, considering all possibilities, and had completely unantic.i.p.ated that his defense would be broken in a single move.

Among those in the Rule Integration Realm, very few choose to hold a mystical treasure s.h.i.+eld on purpose.

Those who choose to do so possess great confidence in this regard.

Chai Qi had never felt his defense was indestructible, but facing someone at the early stage of the Rule Integration Realm of the same rank, Chai Qi was still quite confident.

This confidence had acc.u.mulated from numerous battles.

Chai Qi had never encountered someone of the same rank who could break through his defense in one move; at most, he could be suppressed throughout the battle, but Chai Qi could still ensure his complete safety.

However, what happened just now was like a fleeting illusion.

It was not just the Tremendous Strength on Chen Fei’s sword, but also the twisting of the surrounding s.p.a.ce when the sword’s edge struck the Four Symbols s.h.i.+eld.

The small s.h.i.+eld surface of the Four Symbols s.h.i.+eld had thousands of minutely expanding s.p.a.ces, causing the power of the s.h.i.+eld face to become unbalanced directly.

In that brief moment, Chai Qi couldn’t react sufficiently.

Understanding why he had lost was already pointless, as Chai Qi didn’t even have the time to utter a word before the edge of the sword in Chen Fei’s hand had already turned.

Chai Qi’s vision darkened, and he lost all sensation.

Chen Fei used the Qianyuan Sword to exterminate Chai Qi’s life, his left hand seizing Chai Qi’s spiritual essence, beginning to absorb the talent within.

A refres.h.i.+ng sensation spread through his soul, and Chen Fei’s expression slightly stirred, realizing the talent he had acquired was slightly more than from the last two.

These were talents stuck at the bottleneck before the early stage of the Rule Integration Realm, either needing stronger talent to break through to the mid-stage, or it was possible that Chai Qi had chosen the wrong Rules from the beginning.

Cultivating was such a thing that once started, was very difficult to retract.

Because you might only realize later that you might not be very compatible with these secondary rules.

But since so much had been invested in the early stages, starting over, both in terms of time and effort, was already too late.

Many in the Rule Integration Realm clearly possessed exceptional talent, yet their ultimate achievements were limited.

Chen Fei’s single strike that killed Chai Qi appeared effortless, while the mental defenses of all the other Rule Integration Realm cultivators outside the Ice Corridor fluctuated.

Sixty warriors allowed Chen Fei to gain five fragments of rules, clearly showing that Chen Fei had indeed hidden his strength, as he had never used this move before.

But honestly, while five rule fragments can enhance strength, they aren’t decisive, at most acting as a finis.h.i.+ng touch.

Whether it was the cultivators from the human race or those from the Ice Race of the Evil Clans, what shocked them at this moment were the skills of Chen Fei in applying the s.p.a.ce Secondary Rules, truly too strong.

Today, the martial arts learned by the Rule Integration Realm of the Three Clans are essentially inheritances from emperors of each race, basically bearing no differences in essence.

The greatest difference lies in the proficiency of understanding these martial arts.

Clearly, Chen Fei’s proficiency in understanding these martial arts far exceeded what should be expected at the early stage of the Rule Integration Realm.

Having broken through to the Rule Integration Realm just over a year ago, he had cultivated the Emperor Realm’s inheritance to such a level; calling Chen Fei a prodigy would not do justice to his natural talent.

At the Qiankun Mansion, Chen Fei’s understanding of martial arts already far exceeded those of the same rank.

Though it was still just the martial arts of the Sun Moon Realm, which was somewhat understandable.

Those cultivators who could break through to the Rule Integration Realm had also cultivated quite rapidly during the Sun Moon Realm, just not as exaggerated as Chen Fei.

Now in the Rule Integration Realm, Chen Fei’s speed in understanding martial arts seemed to have not slowed down at all, which was very frightening.

In the sky above, Weng Zongfang recalled the first time he met Chen Fei in the city lord’s mansion, when Chen Fei had made a request for all of the Emperor Realm’s inheritances.

In the end, Chen Fei did not achieve that, getting five parts of the s.p.a.ce Secondary Rules inheritance instead.

Now it seems, Chen Fei had already mastered these five parts of inheritance.

Seeing such talent, even Weng Zongfang felt inferior, at least at the early stage of the Rule Integration Realm, Weng Zongfang was unable to understand his primary cultivated martial art to this degree.

Weng Zongfang felt this way, and so did Tang Yunshou standing beside him.

As for Chen Fei’s future cultivation, as long as he does not rush and make a misstep, the possibility of reaching the Peak of the Rule Integration Realm is very high.

The Emperor Kou Fen of the Evil Clans and the Ice Race’s Emperor Ao An, observing the scene within the Ice Corridor, appeared extremely displeased.

They had antic.i.p.ated heavy losses, but also held great hope of slaying Chen Fei here.

Yet, since Chen Fei entered the Ice Corridor, he demonstrated a battle strength he had never shown before.

Whether it’s said that Chen Fei was hiding his strength or had a sudden enlightenment after a breakthrough, the result was that Chen Fei, a junior who had broken into the Rule Integration Realm just over a year ago, demonstrated a nearly invincible posture for the early stage of the Realm.

It’s said to be nearly invincible because it’s currently one-on-one inside the Ice Corridor, not an ambush.

But precisely because it isn’t an ambush, witnessing the power Chen Fei displayed made Kou Fen and Ao An’s mood terribly sour.

The six selected for the Ice Corridor were carefully chosen, targeting various characteristics exuded by Chen Fei in previous battles.

But the so-called targeting, in front of absolute strength, proved ineffectual.

In the Ice Corridor, Chen Fei had just collected Chai Qi’s two mystical treasures and spiritual essence when the barrier ahead had already opened.

Chen Fei looked ahead and found that, without knowing when, the area in front had turned pitch-black.

This darkness obscured not only his sight but also his perception, feeling as if it connected to the void itself.

Chen Fei rotated the Qianyuan Sword, flinging the remaining blood on its blade onto the Ice Corridor, which burst into a poignant blossom of blood.

Chen Fei took a step forward and then directly stepped into the pitch-black Ice Corridor.

Outside the Ice Corridor, cultivators in the early stages of the Rule Integration Realm couldn’t see where Chen Fei was under that darkness.

Only those in the mid-stage of the Rule Integration Realm or above could vaguely see two figures rapidly approaching each other, and even they could sense it only faintly.

This veil of darkness was not as simple as it seemed but now, it appeared, it had little effect on Chen Fei.

Inside the dark Ice Corridor, Xi Xiao from the Ice Race watched Chen Fei charging directly toward him, constantly s.h.i.+fting his position.

The s.p.a.ce inside the Ice Corridor was actually vast, enough to allow those in the Rule Integration Realm to move freely without restrictions. At this moment, Xi Xiao wanted to avoid Chen Fei and hide in the darkness to strike from ambush.

This was the characteristic of Xi Xiao’s rules; the more shadowy and concealed the place, the more he could bring out his inherent power.

But no matter how Xi Xiao moved, Chen Fei was always able to instantly change his position in response.

The distance between the two was less than a hundred miles, and when Xi Xiao changed positions for the sixth time, Chen Fei had already reached him.

The darkness had clouded Chen Fei’s perception, almost making Xi Xiao blend with it.

But it was only almost, as Xi Xiao was still within that s.p.a.ce.

s.p.a.ce Secondary Rules “Big”, although just a part of the s.p.a.ce Rules, could still lock onto the creatures within a certain area of s.p.a.ce.

Especially now, Chen Fei’s s.p.a.ce Secondary Rules were “Big” “Small” Ruyi, and Xi Xiao’s constant position changes, though seemingly obscured by the veil of darkness, were still within the domain of s.p.a.ce.

What does it mean by ‘Time is supreme, s.p.a.ce is king’?

Although it’s just a common saying, to some extent, there’s a certain truth in it.

s.p.a.ce is the foundation that supports everything. As long as the fragments of rules comprehended are not too dissimilar, the s.p.a.ce Secondary Rules tend to be stronger.

As Xi Xiao, now less than a mile from Chen Fei, halted, his eyes narrowed slightly.

It was already too late to change his position again; or rather, any further changes would be futile and even lead him into a greater disadvantage.

He had thought this dark veil would give him an advantage, but now seeing this human prodigy, he truly didn’t know how to describe him.

Xi Xiao’s aura began to fluctuate violently, erupting with forbidden techniques, no longer hiding in the darkness but instead using this dark veil to steadily gather strength.

Chen Fei’s eyes were closed, but Xi Xiao’s position was clearly emerging in his sea of consciousness, and the next instant, Chen Fei’s Qianyuan Sword burst out with a brilliance, immediately appearing in front of Xi Xiao.

Xi Xiao didn’t dodge, just stared intently at the Qianyuan Sword in Chen Fei’s hand, which was getting increasingly closer, while the aura emitted from his body also grew stronger and stronger.

“Hum!”

The Qianyuan Sword swept past Xi Xiao’s body, and instead of flesh and blood shattering, Xi Xiao’s body slightly shuddered and then disappeared, leaving behind a rune in his place.

Meanwhile, a shadow silently appeared behind Chen Fei, the Shadow Sword in hand thrusting toward Chen Fei’s back.

Xiao Xiao was no longer in his original position, did Chen Fei know?

Of course, Chen Fei knew, but given the fragments of rules just demonstrated and the level of martial insights, it was normal not to distinguish them in time.

Chen Fei remained expressionless as the s.p.a.ce behind him suddenly expanded rapidly. Xi Xiao’s Shadow Sword was only a foot away from Chen Fei, but now it couldn’t reach Chen Fei’s body in time.

Chen Fei flipped the Qianyuan Sword in his hand, blocking behind him.

“Clang!”

The piercing clash soared to the skies; Chen Fei stepped forward, the s.p.a.ce in front of him rippled, helping him to release the energy and then naturally collapsing, allowing the tremendous power to surge back into Chen Fei’s body.

It was still the same move he had used to kill Chai Qi and the others, leveraging force against force.

Xiao Xiao could understand it and knew he needed to avoid it as much as possible, but without absolute power to break through Chen Fei’s defenses, everything was in vain.

Chen Fei swung the Qianyuan Sword in a semi-circle held at his back, swinging from the rear to the front and then chopping again toward the rear while also facing Xi Xiao head-on.

Xiao Xiao, sensing the sharpness of this sword, started to back away but found that the s.p.a.ce around him had expanded without his noticing. Xiao Xiao retreated, but his actual position was still within three feet of Chen Fei.

By controlling the s.p.a.ce Secondary Rules, to some extent, you control the rhythm of the battle.

Trading s.p.a.ce for time, exchanging s.p.a.ces for changes!

“Boom!”

The Qianyuan Sword chopped down on the Shadow Sword, and Xi Xiao’s expression changed dramatically. The power involved exceeded his expectations. Even though Xi Xiao desperately tried to pour his power into the surrounding veil of darkness, it was already too late.

“Bang!”

The Qianyuan Sword, pressing down on the Shadow Sword, rolled back and smashed into Xi Xiao’s body, shattering half of his torso.
