Cultivation: Start From Simplifying Martial Arts Techniques Chapter 1114: Chapter 1070: Reincarnation Rule

Chapter 1114: Chapter 1070: Reincarnation Rule

“How did you manage to do that…”

Zhao Tan’s head lifted with difficulty, looking towards Chen Fei, his mouth trembling. With a single sentence spoken, Zhao Tan’s complexion turned deathly pale, as if all of his power had been exhausted with those words.

And indeed, that was exactly the case. With just one move, Zhao Tan, a late-stage Rule Integration Realm member of the Evil Clans, had been shattered in both form and spirit by Chen Fei. The only reason he hadn’t died immediately was because of the Rule Body of the Rule Integration Realm, barely holding on to his last breath.

When that breath dissipated, it would be the moment of Zhao Tan’s obliteration.

A late-stage Rule Integration Realm cultivator who had cultivated for thousands of years, utterly destroyed by a mid-stage Rule Integration Realm pract.i.tioner with a single move, such a thing was incomprehensible to Zhao Tan. He couldn’t fathom it.

When the first palm imprint was forcibly broken, Zhao Tan turned to run, not just to avoid risking further, but also to quickly relay this news back to the Evil Clans.

At that moment, Zhao Tan had already understood deep down that he was likely no match for Chen Fei.

A late-stage Rule Integration Realm unable to defeat a mid-stage one, and that mid-stage cultivator had less than three years of cultivation—this was inconceivable, yet Zhao Tan still chose to follow his instincts, to flee first.

At that time, Zhao Tan merely felt he couldn’t defeat Chen Fei, but he believed there was no problem in retreating.

But now, the harsh reality was that not only could he not defeat Chen Fei, but he was also directly slain with one move, completely surpa.s.sing Zhao Tan’s understanding.

Throughout the long history of the Black Stone Domain, among various races, many exceptional Rule Integration Realm talents emerged, many of whom later became Emperor Realm powerhouses of their races, protecting their people.

But during their ascent, the most these prodigies achieved was invincibility within the same rank. Being able to retreat unharmed against a Rule Integration Realm of a slightly higher rank was already considered an incredible feat.

Yet here was Chen Fei, not only killing a higher-ranked Rule Integration Realm cultivator but doing so with a single move. How could Zhao Tan accept this?

However, acceptance didn’t matter; the fact remained a fact and would not change just because one couldn’t accept it.

In response to Zhao Tan’s question, Chen Fei did not give an answer, simply gazing calmly at Zhao Tan.

Without receiving an answer, Zhao Tan’s mouth trembled, wanting to continue speaking, but as he exerted himself, his legs started to crumble into dust.

The Rule Body couldn’t withstand Zhao Tan’s injuries, and his body began to break down completely.

“Ah!”

Sensing the state of his own body, Zhao Tan no longer had the strength to speak further. With a heart full of unwillingness and confusion, Zhao Tan let out a silent, agonized howl.

Zhao Tan wasn’t willing or ready to die; his death was beyond reprieve. The key issue was that Zhao Tan felt as if he could foresee the future predicament of the Evil Clans.

The human race had produced such a monstrous talent—if the barrier of the Open Heaven Realm that had shackled the human race for hundreds of thousands of years was to be broken by this individual, then the Evil Clans would no longer have a place in the Black Stone Domain. If Chen Fei truly broke through to the Open Heaven Realm, the Evil Clans might face annihilation.

The Evil Clans and the Ice Race had always sought to eradicate the human race because the humans had a supreme treasure in their possession—the Qiankun Stone!

How was the human race’s Qiankun Cauldron forged? The rumor was that a dying human imperial sovereign obtained a supreme treasure, and before his death, he cast himself into it, forging this object that suppressed the human race’s destiny.

The rumor was largely accurate but didn’t reveal what the original treasure was.

It was actually the Qiankun Stone—without it, even if a human imperial sovereign burned all he had, he could not have forged the Qiankun Cauldron as it is now.

To a race like the Wu Meng Clan, capable of reaching the Open Heaven Realm, the Qiankun Cauldron wasn’t much to speak of. After all, it wasn’t even considered a standard Open Heaven Profound Treasure, and it was further integrated with the human race’s mark.

For the Wu Meng Clan, the Qiankun Cauldron seemed incredibly insignificant, not even worth as much as chicken ribs.

But for the ancestor of the Evil Clans, the Qiankun Stone inside the Qiankun Cauldron represented a chance to heal his wounds and correct the deficiencies in his realm.

It wasn’t about transforming the clan’s ancestor from a deficient Open Heaven Realm into an authentic one, but rather granting him the lifespan of a normal Open Heaven Realm cultivator.

Lingering long enough allowed for more possibilities.

But the arrival of the Wu Meng Clan effectively disrupted the plans of the Evil Clans and the Ice Race. Large-scale conflicts between the two were no longer possible, and seizing the human race’s Qiankun Cauldron seemed an increasingly distant dream.

However, the grudge had already acc.u.mulated. As long as the human race lived, they remained a threat to the Evil Clans. Any opportunity to cause more deaths among the Rule Integration Realm pract.i.tioners of the human race was a good thing for the Evil Clans.

But now, with such an extraordinary figure as Chen Fei, given enough time, what would the future hold for the Evil Clans?

Countless resentments entangled in Zhao Tan’s sea of consciousness, until finally, everything before Zhao Tan’s eyes turned to darkness.

Chen Fei activated the Bronze Rune, a beam of light emanating from his forehead encompa.s.sing what lay before him, as a ma.s.s of spiritual essence was stripped away.

Ashes are just one form of manifestation, no different from a mist of blood, so it was still possible to extract the spiritual essence.

Equivalent to two secondary rule bodies, ignited by the G.o.dslayer State of Earth, Water, Fire, Wind, for a late-stage Rule Integration Realm cultivator like Zhao Tan, Chen Fei displayed an overwhelming stance.

It wasn’t just Zhao Tan from the Evil Clans in the late stage of the Rule Integration Realm, even if it were members from the Wu Meng Clan or the Xuan Clan at this stage, Chen Fei could resolve the fight with one move.

His physique and the ignited Open Heaven Realm state of Earth, Water, Fire, Wind were exceptionally powerful, unmatched by other Rule Integration Realm pract.i.tioners.

Every cultivator at the Rule Integration Realm essentially lacks any weaknesses, as their physique, elemental power, and soul are all balanced. When they break through to a certain rank, all three aspects reach the standard of that rank.

But Chen Fei originally exceeded the standards only in terms of physique. Now, after being able to ignite Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind, his elemental power also began to surpa.s.s the standard.

Even the most fundamental soul, owing to the transcendent perspective of the small Open Heaven Realm, already had a huge difference compared to the mid-stage Rule Integration Realm.

In such a situation, how could other cultivators in the late stages of the Rule Integration Realm withstand Chen Fei?

As a portion of Zhaotan’s talent fused into the soul, a chill spread.

However, this coolness disappeared in a moment, and compared to the previously slain Wu Meng Clan’s Wu Han, Zhaotan’s talent fell far short.

Wu Han had a great chance of breaking through to the peak of the Rule Integration Realm, and even had a slim possibility of breaking through the barrier of the Open Heaven Realm.

But for Zhaotan, the late stages of the Rule Integration Realm were already his highest achievement, and it was impossible for him to reach the peak; the gap in talent between the two was too obvious.

A dark light flashed beneath Chen Fei’s pupils as he deployed the G.o.d Devouring technique and began to strip away Zhaotan’s fragmented soul.

The previous killing of Xing Gong’s three Scavengers yielded little value within their fragmented souls.

There were three martial arts techniques, and in terms of ranking, they were slightly inferior to the inheritances of the human imperial sovereign realm; and, as they were severely damaged, Chen Fei tried to integrate them into the Desolate Universe G.o.d Slaying Technique, but the skill level did not change in the slightest.

The previous fusion of the Nine Heavens Star Kill from the Wu Meng Clan had significantly improved the Desolate Universe G.o.d Slaying Technique, elevating this technique to a certain height.

Ordinary martial arts, even those from the Emperor Realm inheritance, would hardly bring any further improvement to the Desolate Universe G.o.d Slaying Technique.

Only something like the Wu Meng Clan, an Open Heaven Realm Race that propagates top-tier techniques to cultivate four secondary rules, and even contains insights on how to break through the Open Heaven Realm, could potentially continue to elevate the Desolate Universe G.o.d Slaying Technique.

After a while, Chen Fei finished reading Zhaotan’s fragmented soul and obtained a martial arts technique from the Evil Clans.

It was certainly incomplete, but the secondary rule it cultivated was quite interesting, a secondary rule within the Reincarnation Main Rule.

The effect was actually very strong; it could forcibly refresh one’s state.

In other words, even if Zhaotan was severely injured in battle, he could still rely on this Reincarnation secondary rule to restore his injuries to peak condition.

This was a remarkably powerful rule attribute; faced with an evenly matched opponent, one could forcibly wear down the adversary to death.

In terms of effects, it was somewhat similar to the blood rebirth of Celestial Suppression, and while the principles of their functioning were naturally different, achieving a similar effect was already quite formidable.

Unfortunately, Zhaotan met Chen Fei and was directly hit, leading to the complete destruction of both body and soul, leaving no chance for the secondary rule of Reincarnation to restore him.

Even the strength of rules has a limit; once it’s exceeded, the effect ceases to exist.

Just like Chen Fei’s blood rebirth—if he was. .h.i.t so hard that all his blood turned to ashes, naturally there would be no more talk of blood rebirth.

And as for the Indestructible Vision’s ever-peak state, if one’s defense was penetrated, one would still be on the brink of death.

Chen Fei integrated Zhaotan’s technique into the Desolate Universe G.o.d Slaying Technique, causing a slight decrease in the skill level, but it did not fall from the stage of perfection.

The level of the martial arts had improved, but not by much; it was more of a nice final touch.

Chen Fei placed Zhaotan’s Splitting Essence Blade into his sleeve and also another sword-shaped mystical treasure, which at a glance, appeared to be crafted by the human race.

The spirituality of the mystical treasure was long gone. Chen Fei probed into the mystical treasure with a sliver of his mental defense and saw an extremely chaotic scene within its internal s.p.a.ce.

Over two hundred thousand people were panicking, terrified, and there were also remains of the human race that Zhaotan had erased.

Chen Fei activated his essence force to collect the shattered flesh and blood of the human race and simultaneously shook the mystical treasure, putting the more than two hundred thousand people inside into a deep sleep while also beginning to erase their memories of the recent events.

To them, it was a nightmare, especially for the ordinary members of the human race, who would regard it as a living horror, better left forgotten.

After doing all this, Chen Fei withdrew his mental defense and glanced around before flying off towards a location on his right.

From Zhaotan’s soul memories, Chen Fei not only learned the technique he practiced but also knew that at this moment, the Evil Clans and the Ice Race were hunting cultivators in Jiguang City.

With the Wu Meng Clan intimidating the Black Stone Domain and the Soul-devouring Worms ravaging it, the Evil Clans and the Ice Race still did not forget to weaken the strength of the human race.

It was a matter of life and death, quite literally.

Perhaps in the minds of the Evil Clans, with their ancestors present, they were certain they could survive this catastrophe.

And if they could weaken the human race’s strength enough, the likelihood of the human race’s annihilation would be higher, and thereafter, they might not even need to take action themselves, as the human race would naturally perish within the Return to Nothing Realm.

Unlike the Scavengers who act in small groups and whose souls are severely fragmented due to being parasitized, Chen Fei did not know the whereabouts of other Scavengers.

But the Evil Clans and the Ice Race were different; they had a plan.
