Cultivation: Start From Simplifying Martial Arts Techniques

“Mid-stage Rule Integration Realm Peak? Not bad at all!”

Chen Fei sensed the power transmitted from the Qianyuan Sword and gained a concept of the peak of the mid-stage Rule Integration Realm.

This was, after all, Chen Fei’s first showdown against someone at the peak of the mid-stage Rule Integration Realm, and only after a true battle could he have a comprehensive understanding of this level.

“You…”

Sun Guangyuan’s body blazed with illusory flames, a characteristic of using forbidden techniques, and without any hesitation, he aimed to kill Chen Fei swiftly.

Even so, Chen Fei remained unscathed, his body not moving an inch and his breath undisturbed.

In two years, having broken through to the mid-stage Rule Integration Realm was already unfathomable.

From their last confrontation outside Jiguang City to now had only been a few months, barely enough time to even stabilize the realm of the mid-stage Rule Integration Realm fully.

When Sun Guangyuan first broke through to the mid-stage Rule Integration Realm, it had taken him over a year to completely stabilize it.

How come that when it came to Chen Fei, not only was his realm entirely stable but his strength was so exaggerated?

Countless thoughts whirled through Sun Guangyuan’s mind as the surrounding shadowy iron chains suddenly erupted and surged crazily towards Chen Fei, while Sun Guangyuan himself retreated explosively.

Despite using forbidden techniques, he couldn’t shake Chen Fei, and Sun Guangyuan understood the disparity in power between them was shockingly vast.

In such a situation, other than fleeing, Sun Guangyuan couldn’t think of a better plan.

Racing back to Meng City and revealing the news of Chen Fei’s breakthrough to the mid-stage Rule Integration Realm, Sun Guangyuan knew he couldn’t kill Chen Fei, but there were plenty from the Rule Integration Realm who would be interested in him.

Even a few of the human imperial sovereigns would probably have some thoughts.

The existing human imperial sovereigns, seemingly selflessly serving the human race, did so because their pursuits had become different.

With no hope of reaching the Open Heaven Realm, they aimed to make history with their legends, so even if they perished in the future, their tales would still be passed down among the human race.

But if these human imperial sovereigns were told that the Open Heaven Realm might not be hopeless and that Chen Fei might possess a Supreme Treasure, the situation might change.

The hearts of all living beings are always unpredictable.

“Don’t even think about escaping!”

Chen Fei looked into Sun Guangyuan’s eyes, full of malice, and chuckled softly as he stepped forward. The majestic power that radiated from him instantly shattered the approaching shadow rule chains.

The physique of an Emperor Realm could be harmed by attacks at the mid-stage of the Rule Integration Realm, but it would take the combined effort of several to achieve that. A single mid-stage Rule Integration Realm cultivator certainly couldn’t do it.

The Rule Integration Realm imperial sovereigns were referred to as such because this realm represented a qualitative leap compared to other stages, and even the physique at the peak of the Rule Integration Realm couldn’t be withstood by a mid-stage attack.

Sun Guangyuan watched as the shadowy iron chains he had cast were effortlessly shattered, and he was panic-stricken by such overpowering strength.

Sun Guangyuan felt like the person before him wasn’t some freshly advanced mid-stage Rule Integration Realm cultivator, but rather a late-stage Rule Integration Realm powerhouse.

In two years, from the Sun Moon Realm to now possessing battle strength of the late stages of the Rule Integration Realm?

What kind of Supreme Treasure was this?

Or could it be that Chen Fei had actually been possessed by a strong being above the Open Heaven Realm and wasn’t even human anymore!

Sun Guangyuan retreated even more desperately, but soon he discovered that the space around him had stretched, the scenes further away unchanged. No matter how he flew, the distance between him and Chen Fei remained exactly the same.

Sun Guangyuan vibrated the shadow rules within him, attempting to shatter the expansion of space as before.

However, after just one vibration, Sun Guangyuan’s complexion turned ugly. The same spatial expansion he had easily broken through out before now remained unaffected.

The Space Secondary Rules wielded by warriors was incomparable to the power now exhibited by Chen Fei himself.

Sun Guangyuan sensed the sharpness from the Qianyuan Sword. With no way to escape, the only chance for continued survival was to block this sword; otherwise, he’d be sure to perish here today.

“Ah!”

Sun Guangyuan roared like a trapped beast, desperately stirring the power within his body, his Ghost Blade slashing towards Chen Fei’s neck.

He knew he had no chance in a head-on fight, so it was better to cast everything aside and trade life for life.

At this moment, Chen Fei had an absolute advantage, and it was too unworthy to fight to the death with him.

If Chen Fei chose to block his attack first, then Sun Guangyuan might slightly turn the tide in his favor, and the chances of escaping to see another day would increase.

Sun Guangyuan was gambling that Chen Fei wouldn’t want to fight to the death.

Observing Sun Guangyuan’s movements, Chen Fei’s gaze flickered, but the thrust of the Qianyuan Sword didn’t change at all. There was no parry, only relentless advance.

The only thing Chen Fei did was make the space in front of the Qianyuan Sword collapse, significantly shortening the distance.

“Shick!”

The sound of a blade piercing flesh resounded. Sun Guangyuan’s Ghost Blade was an inch away from Chen Fei’s neck when it couldn’t go any further.

The tip of the Qianyuan Sword penetrated Sun Guangyuan’s skull, emerging from the back of his head.

The Space Secondary Rule “Small” allowed the attack distance to drastically decrease. With the Desolate Universe God Devouring Sword controlling this rule, Sun Guangyuan, despite his ability to notice it, could not break free.

In terms of the number of fragments of rules, Chen Fei was inferior to Sun Guangyuan, but when it came to rule manipulation, Chen Fei crushed Sun Guangyuan by more than a little.

Sun Guangyuan looked dumbfoundedly at the sword blade before his forehead, his eyes slowly turning to look at Chen Fei.

In the human race’s legacy, there was only the “Big” under the Space Secondary Rules. The sword strike Chen Fei had just executed was definitely not of such Space Rules.

What is going on here?

Sun Guangyuan’s eyes began to lose focus as he felt his vitality rapidly draining away.

Sun Guangyuan did not want to die; he hadn’t yet broken through to the late stages of the Rule Integration Realm, let alone the Emperor Realm.

By betraying the human race in exchange for various resources, he wanted to continue climbing the ranks of cultivation and see the different views from above.

Once he became the human imperial sovereign, he could become selfless and dedicate himself to the human race, but before that, he needed to elevate his cultivation realm using whatever means necessary, which wasn’t unreasonable.

Weren’t those nineteen imperial sovereigns of the human race also involved in numerous selfish acts before they reached the peak of the Rule Integration Realm?

Countless stray thoughts flashed through Sun Guangyuan’s mind as his life force completely dissipated, leaving behind only regret and reluctance in his eyes.

Chen Fei placed his left palm on Sun Guangyuan’s body, which instantly exploded into a mist of blood.

Chen Fei did not deploy Bronze Rune; snatching aptitude between kindred did not bear good results, especially since Sun Guangyuan had always been stuck in the mid-stage of the Rule Integration Realm, unable to break through.

This aptitude was probably not even as good as Kuang Xingfeng’s, and even less so compared to the current Chen Fei.

Therefore, even if he plundered, he would not gain much.

Chen Fei withdrew the Qianyuan Sword, the blood mist in front of him twisted, and the spiritual essence within followed closely along the sword body of the Qianyuan Sword, with a ray of light also clinging to the tip of the sword blade.

Chen Fei extended his left hand and grasped the ray of light, his mental defense probing into it.

God Devouring, a new characteristic of the Divine Power God Slaying Sword, allowed him to examine some memories in the soul of enemies. This was also the first time Chen Fei had used this feature.

Chen Fei wasn’t interested in seeing Sun Guangyuan’s cultivation techniques but wanted to find the way in which Sun Guangyuan had been communicating with the Ice Race and Evil Clans.

After all, he couldn’t let the Ice Race and Evil Clans keep attempting to assassinate him. It wouldn’t be proper not to return the favor; Chen Fei ought to give them something in return!

In less than a moment, Chen Fei’s eyes lit up slightly—he had found the method that Sun Guangyuan usually used to contact the Evil Clans and Ice Race.

Fifty thousand li away.

“Emperor, we received a message from our informant within the human race saying that Chen Fei has been beaten to the brink of death. Now, they ask us to go to Anhua Mountain to verify and to bring the resources we promised.”

Cong Da hurried to the side of the Evil Clans’ imperial sovereign, Kou Fen, and spoke in a low voice.

“Captured him?” Kou Fen, who looked somewhat tired, was suddenly invigorated by the news.

The Wu Meng Clan’s arrival in the Black Stone Domain didn’t mean that the enmity between the Evil Clans and the human race had vanished.

With the potential shown by the human Chen Fei to reach the Peak of Rule Integration Realm, and now with the Wu Meng Clan in the Black Stone Domain, it was hard to say how much of a threat Chen Fei could pose to the Evil Clans in the future.

For such an uncertain factor, the best solution was to eliminate it before it could become a problem in the future.

“Yes, that’s what the human informant said,” Cong Da nodded with a smile on his face.

“Have two mid-stage Rule Integration Realm warriors from our clan go, and ask the Ice Race to send one as well, and be cautious!”

After some thought, Kou Fen realized that no members of the Ice Race or Evil Clans at the late stages of the Rule Integration Realm were on missions near Anhua Mountain. Mobilizing them over long distances and being discovered by the Wu Meng Clan could have unpredictable consequences.

After all, to make an example out of them, the Wu Meng Clan might adopt extremely severe measures.

“Yes!” Cong Da bowed and was about to leave.

“Is there a chance for our informant to check the status of the soul tokens of the Human Clan’s Rule Integration Realm?” Kou Fen suddenly asked.

“That would be difficult; the soul tokens of the Human Clan’s Rule Integration Realm are now locked inside the Qiankun Cauldron, accessible only to the human imperial sovereign,” Cong Da shook his head.

Previously, the soul tokens of the Human Clan’s Rule Integration Realm were stored elsewhere, but during this trip to Meng City, the human imperial sovereign decided to place all these soul tokens inside the Qiankun Cauldron.

“Then tell them to be very careful!” Kou Fen nodded in approval.

Anhua Mountain.

Chen Fei stood on the mountain top, wearing a mask. This mask was what Sun Guangyuan used to hide his aura when he met with the Ice Race and Evil Clans.

As for the Qianyuan Sword, it was intentionally thrown aside, along with a dying warrior, as a part of the act.

Anhua Mountain was tens of thousands of li away from the Po Luo Mountain Range. Chen Fei had another Rule Integration Realm Early Stage warrior stationed in the Po Luo Mountain Range to prevent the Wu Meng Clan’s Rule Integration Realm from checking in.

As time ticked by, just when Chen Fei began to wonder if the Ice Race and Evil Clans might not show up, three concealed figures appeared in the distance.

The three mid-stage Rule Integration Realm beings, despite their utmost effort to conceal their presence, could not hide from Chen Fei, who possessed the perfection of the Desolate Universe God Devouring Sword, thus were unable to evade his senses.

Several hundred li away.

“Is it over there?”

Sui Luo pointed towards Anhua Mountain in the distance, sensing faint vibrations from a mystical treasure.

He had been present several months earlier when Chen Fei defeated eight early-stage Rule Integration Realm warriors, so he was quite familiar with the Qianyuan Sword’s vibrations.

“There are two people and a sword blade,” You Zhi looked into the distance. The Rules he comprehended allowed him to see the smallest detail within a thousand li.

“Be cautious,” Zhong Ye frowned, feeling an uneasy, strange sensation.
