Chapter 679: Overturning the Heavens

Chen Fei stood aside, witnessing the merger of the five forces into the Primordial Sword Sect, a slight smile playing on his lips.

Moments later, as the ceremony concluded, Chen Fei exchanged pleasantries with the crowd before his figure flickered and vanished on the spot.

Upon reappearing, Chen Fei found himself deep underwater several tens of miles away.

His sudden appearance startled the surrounding schools of fish, scattering them in all directions. With a faint glint in his brow, Chen Fei glanced ahead at a coral cl.u.s.ter and thrust his fist forward.

Where his fist struck, the seawater in front of Chen Fei vanished instantly, leaving behind a cavity hundreds of meters in diameter.

The coral cl.u.s.ter contorted violently, transforming into a mythical creature with the head of a rooster and the body of a turtle. At this moment, however, the creature had retracted all its limbs and head into its sh.e.l.l.

“Boom!”

The incredibly st.u.r.dy turtle sh.e.l.l trembled violently as Chen Fei’s fist landed, cracks forming before it burst open, revealing flesh and blood within.

“Roar!”

“Human, if you kill me, the king will not let you go!”

The sea monster roared in shock, never imagining that one day its turtle sh.e.l.l would be shattered by a punch from a fellow martial artist of the same level.

Despite the king’s repeated warnings to be cautious and to leave promptly if discovered, it never crossed its mind that this human could be so terrifying. “I’ve already killed two of your kind!”

Chen Fei chuckled lightly, his figure flickering as he chased after the sea monster and delivered another punch directly to the ruptured turtle sh.e.l.l.

The turtle monster desperately tried to dodge, but it couldn’t evade Chen Fei’s fist. In its terror, a look of ferocity flashed in its eyes as it clawed fiercely at Chen Fei.

Even in death, it was determined to make the human before it pay the price.

“Boom!”

The newly surged seawater around them dissipated in an instant. The attacks from the turtle monster couldn’t even break through Chen Fei’s defense, while his punches thoroughly hammered the creature to death.

As Chen Fei had just said, he had already killed two third-tier peak sea monsters in recent days.

Not only third-tier peak sea monsters, but also several other third-tier sea monsters had been killed one after another.

All of these were sent by the Monster King Nie Li to track the fleet from behind.

Obviously, the battles of the past few days had deeply humiliated Nie Li, and he had no intention of letting Chen Fei off so easily.

But now, with severe injuries that even affect its essence, Nie Li’s recovery is not something that can be achieved in a short time.

In this situation, all Nie Li can think of is to send his subordinates to follow the fleet, confirm their whereabouts, and retaliate once he has recovered.

Otherwise, with uncertain whereabouts, even if Nie Li recovers, he won’t know where to find Chen Fei.

Not killing Chen Fei would leave his heart filled with rage.

However, whenever Nie Li’s sea monsters approached the fleet a bit too closely, Chen Fei would detect them through his senses.

Following his intuition, Chen Fei would directly turn back and slay all of these sea monsters.

Even with severe injuries, Chen Fei could easily defeat these third-tier sea monsters, whether they were at the initial stage or peak of the third tier, the outcome was the same.

Extracting the essence of the sea monsters, Chen Fei smashed them onto the Qianyuan Sword. In the past few days, he continuously absorbed the essence of third-tier sea monsters, allowing the Qianyuan Sword’s spirituality to continue growing.

Especially the spirituality of the third-tier peak sea monsters greatly benefited the Qianyuan Sword.

As for the blood pearls of the Monster Kings collected earlier, Chen Fei kept them for now and didn’t give them to the Qianyuan Sword.

It wasn’t that Chen Fei needed to consume those blood pearls. Currently, he was at the peak of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, and what he lacked wasn’t energy. As for his physical strength, it was actually limited by the level of the Suppressing Dragon Elephant Soul Tempering.

While the physique of the Mountain Sea Realm was strong, it was difficult to perfectly control it with the mind of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm alone. Only with the addition of the divine soul could the full power of the physique be unleashed.

Therefore, the level of the Suppressing Dragon Elephant Soul Tempering determined the level to which his physique could be elevated now. Forcibly absorbing too much energy would actually have the opposite effect.

The blood pearls of the Monster Kings were very useful. Chen Fei planned to use them as catalysts to promote the Qianyuan Sword and the Concealment Bell to the level of top-grade magic treasures. Once they reached the critical threshold, he would use the blood pearls to stimulate their advancement.

Furthermore, when Chen Fei advanced to the Mountain Sea Realm, he could also use these blood pearls to quickly consolidate his cultivation realm.

This method of using the essence of Monster Kings to strengthen one’s own realm was probably only seen in the endless sea among those truly top-notch powers.

Chen Fei, by chance, had also enjoyed such treatment.

Casually turning the turtle monster’s body into powder, Chen Fei dragged its sh.e.l.l and flew towards the fleet.

After a while, Chen Fei handed over the turtle sh.e.l.l to Qu Qingsheng and stored it in the treasure house of the Primordial Sword Sect. When disciples needed it and had enough contributions, they could exchange for this turtle sh.e.l.l.

With the turtle sh.e.l.l of a third-tier peak sea monster as the foundation, extraordinary treasures could be refined. As long as the other auxiliary materials were of good quality, the minimum starting point would be a top-grade magic treasure.

In recent days, as Chen Fei slaughtered so many sea monsters, he intentionally preserved valuable parts of the creatures, thereby enhancing the heritage of the Primordial Sword Sect.

In the blink of an eye, a month had pa.s.sed.

Due to the integration of various forces within the fleet into the Primordial Sword Sect, they had become various branches of the sect, bringing everyone’s relations.h.i.+ps closer.

For the disciples of the Primordial Sword Sect who had reached the Body Tempering realm, the paths they could choose suddenly expanded after reaching the Aperture Tempering realm.

Although the Primordial Sword Sect now had a wide variety of techniques in its hidden repository, including not only the original Primordial Sword Scripture but also many techniques that could be cultivated to the peak of the Aperture Tempering realm.

There was still a significant difference between self-study and being taught by someone.

Nevertheless, many talented disciples set their sights on the Primordial Sword Scripture.

Because everyone knew that Chen Fei cultivated the Primordial Sword Scripture, and even in the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, there were techniques that were related to the Primordial Sword Scripture.

All of them were techniques Chen Fei had integrated with other techniques into the Primordial Sword Scripture.

In other words, if one could truly break through to the Combined Aperture Tempering realm using the Primordial Sword Scripture, they would receive guidance from Chen Fei in the future.

Chen Fei’s current strength was crystal clear to everyone. These disciples didn’t aim to replicate Chen Fei exactly, but as long as they could achieve a fraction of his prowess, their strength would be remarkable.

During this month’s voyage, the seas remained calm. After Chen Fei slaughtered the turtle monster, Nie Li no longer sent other sea monsters to track them. Apparently, he knew that once ordinary sea monsters ventured too close, they would never return.

Nie Li’s population was initially quite large, but many had been slaughtered by Chen Fei and the others, leading to a significant reduction in the number of third-tier sea monsters due to tracking Chen Fei.

If this loss continued, there would be a gap in the population, requiring an extremely long time to recover.

Despite his anger, Nie Li could do nothing but relent.

On the main deck of the flags.h.i.+p, Chen Fei stood aside while Qu Qingsheng sat cross-legged.

Qu Qingsheng’s aura was restrained. If one only looked at the surface, Qu Qingsheng seemed to have turned into a stone. However, in reality, enormous changes were taking place within Qu Qingsheng’s body.

Qu Qingsheng was attempting a breakthrough to the Combined Aperture Tempering realm.

When Chen Fei arrived at the Primordial Sword Sect, Qu Qingsheng was already at the late stage of the Aperture Tempering realm. However, at that time, the sect’s techniques were lacking, and Qu Qingsheng had only cultivated eighty-one combined apertures.

Now, twenty years later, after refining and polis.h.i.+ng for some time, Qu Qingsheng had reached the peak of the Aperture Tempering realm and decided to break through.

Today, the Primordial Sword Sect had numerous branches. Except for the Sunken Water Pavilion, all other sect masters were at the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, and several masters of the Pinnacle Peak Sect were also at that level.

In comparison, Qu Qingsheng, as the sect master, seemed to have a somewhat lower cultivation level.

The other branches didn’t look down on Qu Qingsheng, nor did they dare to, but Qu Qingsheng felt pressure within himself.

Moreover, after escaping from the Thousand Feathers Alliance, they had encountered countless third-tier sea monsters along the way, and a Monster King had even appeared once. Without the cultivation level of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, it was simply impossible to establish a foothold.

All these factors stimulated Qu Qingsheng. Instead of being discouraged, he became even more determined.

This attempt to break through wasn’t out of spite but rather because he felt the timing was right.

Chen Fei’s brow glimmered faintly as he watched the changes in Qu Qingsheng’s body. One hundred and eight combined apertures were orderly arranged, compressing and merging with each other.

Qu Qingsheng hadn’t switched to other techniques. He had always been cultivating the Primordial Sword Scripture, and Chen Fei had also informed him of the various detailed changes in his breakthrough.

Now, as Chen Fei watched the changes in Qu Qingsheng’s body, a smile couldn’t help but appear on his face. Everything was going smoothly; the fusion of the combined apertures was proceeding in an orderly manner.

There was no rashness or hesitation, demonstrating Qu Qingsheng’s profound foundation.

The cultivation in the Primordial Sword Sect was extremely difficult, but it indeed facilitated the breakthrough to the Combined Aperture Tempering realm. Moreover, the sect now had many elixirs to a.s.sist in the breakthrough, which was particularly beneficial for Qu Qingsheng.

Zhou Zixun and others stood on another s.h.i.+p, watching from afar with nervous expressions.

The sea breeze, which had been gently blowing, suddenly stagnated within a mile radius.

After some time pa.s.sed, the primordial energy of heaven and earth began to surge, and ripples suddenly emanated from Qu Qingsheng’s body. As if receiving a command, the primordial energy of heaven and earth rushed towards Qu Qingsheng in an instant.

Qu Qingsheng’s body involuntarily floated up, and the primordial energy of heaven and earth began to refine him all over.

The onlookers on the decks of other s.h.i.+ps erupted into deafening cheers.

In the sky, above the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, Qu Qingsheng was able to float. Obviously, his breakthrough had been successful.

Since Chen Fei, the Primordial Sword Sect had finally produced its second Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivator.

Many elders in the sect, who were at the pinnacle of the Aperture Tempering realm, exchanged glances, filled with excitement. However, they couldn’t rush into it. The sect master had broken through because he felt the opportunity had come.

If they were to rush and attempt the breakthrough, they might end up failing in the end.

The Combined Aperture Tempering realm had never been a simple matter, and it was no different for the current Primordial Sword Sect.

Several hours later, Qu Qingsheng opened his eyes, and the world around him had already changed.

Qu Qingsheng looked towards the position of Chen Fei’s cabin, his eyes filled with grat.i.tude. If it weren’t for Chen Fei, Qu Qingsheng wouldn’t have even been able to reach the peak of the Aperture Tempering realm, let alone the Combined Aperture Tempering realm.

Because of one disciple, the entire Primordial Sword Sect, including all of them, had undergone a profound transformation.

In the blink of an eye, another three months pa.s.sed, and a distant land appeared ahead.

Chen Fei appeared in mid-air, his gaze flickering.

Thousand Geese City, they had arrived!
