Cultivation: Start From Simplifying Martial Arts Techniques

The growth of these ten fragments of rules came at a heavy cost to the Ice Race and Evil Clans, as nineteen in the mid-stage Rule Integration Realm and four in the late-stage were slain by Chen Fei.

Adding to the previous conquests by Chen Fei, within less than a day, dozens from the Rule Integration Realm of the Ice Race and Evil Clans were left behind here forever.

With the rule fragments reaching eighty-three pieces, Chen Fei’s cultivation of the Desolate Universe God Slaying Technique finally stepped into the stage of Great Completion.

The moment his martial arts reached the Great Completion realm, Chen Fei distinctly perceived a subtle difference in his observation of the world around him.

This subtle difference was hard to describe in words, somewhat similar to the small Open Heaven Realm that Chen Fei activated in the Godslayer State, where heaven and earth coexisted with him.

Besides this profound sensation, after the Desolate Universe God Slaying Technique reached Great Completion, Chen Fei could manipulate the power within his body at will, with precision, and the resonance with the vital energy of heaven and earth was also amplified.

The Desolate Universe God Slaying Technique, at Great Completion, could be cultivated all the way to the Open Heaven Realm without any barriers, and in battles against the Rule Integration Realm, the opponents’ moves’ flaws would dramatically enlarge in Chen Fei’s eyes.

This was not only due to the martial arts-induced change in perception, but also due to the combination of over twenty secondary rules, allowing Chen Fei to instantly determine the essence force flow between the opponent’s moves, thus achieving an effect of breakthrough insight.

Since at the same time, Chen Fei could only absorb understandings of three rules, stepping into the Great Completion realm with his main cultivation technique, he could contemplate an additional secondary rule during his future cultivation sessions.

Thus, while the secondary rule “Big” of space continually evolved toward a complete state, Chen Fei could also enhance the secondary rule “Small” of space.

When Chen Fei breaks through to the peak of the Rule Integration Realm, he could save a considerable amount of time when aiming to master a second secondary rule.

From the peak of the Rule Integration Realm to the Open Heaven Realm, the conventional method involves mastering four secondary rules.

The time required for this far exceeds that from the early stage to the peak of the Rule Integration Realm.

This process severely tests the insight and innate talent of the cultivator, and therefore, even though there are quite a few at the peak of Rule Integration Realm in the Black Stone Domain, not a single legitimate Open Heaven Realm exists.

Aside from the practitioners in the Black Stone Domain not understanding the breakthrough method to the Open Heaven Realm, a more significant reason lies in their limited talents.

Even among those at the peak of the Rule Integration Realm, sometimes there is a vast difference in strength.

For example, those at the peak of the Rule Integration Realm from the Wu Meng Clan can generally overpower those at the same stage within the Black Stone Domain.

This is not only due to the difference in the number of secondary rules mastered, but also because the profoundness of the martial arts being practiced varies.

With the breakthrough of the Desolate Universe God Slaying Technique to Great Completion, the progress of “Celestial Suppression” is also quite apparent.

The fragments of the rule of power within Chen Fei’s physique upgraded from forty-three to forty-eight.

Each increase in a fragment of the rule of power significantly boosts the strength that Chen Fei’s physique possesses, with a mighty effect.

Based on the estimations from the Desolate Universe God Slaying Technique, Chen Fei’s physique is now quite close to that of a being with three secondary rules.

Even if it hasn’t reached that level, it’s not far off.

Chen Fei looked ahead, his soul continuously probing the traces left in the mid-air.

The anchoring mark was useless now; all beings from the Rule Integration Realm of the Ice Race and Evil Clans were beyond the range of the mark’s sensing ability.

Previously, Chen Fei would directly erase the mark once he locked onto it, to prevent sensing by the following Ice Race and Evil Clans’ Emperor.

If Chen Fei still wants to continue slaying those from the Rule Integration Realm of the Ice Race and Evil Clans, he can only do so by capturing some traces, though this is not easy and very time-consuming.

Without intense fighting, just flying by leaves minuscule traces that quickly dissipate.

Moreover, almost every individual in the Rule Integration Realm knows how to conceal their traces, making it even more difficult to capture these details.

In Chen Fei’s view, the world is entirely composed of dots and lines, with each containing abundant information.

How much information one can read from it entirely depends on each cultivator’s skill.

The next moment, Chen Fei vanished from the spot, following a faintly visible light point.

A short time later, Chen Fei appeared in mid-air, blocking the path of a late-stage Rule Integration Realm individual from the Ice Race.

He could kill only one more from the Rule Integration Realm, and Chen Fei naturally chose one in the late-stage — regardless of whether it was from the Ice Race or the Evil Clans, the difference to Chen Fei was not significant.

Seeing Chen Fei who suddenly appeared in front of him, the Ice Race’s Zeng Gang furrowed his brows deeply; upon recognizing Chen Fei, his eyes showed an expression of disbelief.

Who Chen Fei was, Zeng Gang knew, but precisely because he knew, he found it hard to accept.

Chen Fei looked at Zeng Gang, extended his left hand, and the immense spatial force twisted towards Zeng Gang.

Feeling the changes in the surrounding space, Zeng Gang’s expression dramatically changed, his body’s power surged forth, startlingly causing the Space Binding to pause momentarily.

Capturing this instant, Zeng Gang sharply took advantage, escaped from the space barrier, and without hesitation, flew in another direction.

Chen Fei’s brow slightly knitted, surprised inside; this was the first time someone at the peak of the Rule Integration Realm had struggled out of his Space Binding.

The Space Binding, naturally, was not flawless—no move in this world is without its flaws.

The weakest moment of Space Binding was probably right at its initiation.

Space rules vibrated, forming space chains to bind the opponent.

This moment almost passed in the blink of an eye, thus Chen Fei had always been precise in his capture.

But Zeng Gang, sensing the fluctuation in space, used his own power to directly free himself.

“Such physical strength…”

Chen Fei watched Zeng Gang, took a step forward, and appeared directly in front of Zeng Gang.

As Zeng Gang saw Chen Fei so close, his initially anxious expression suddenly vanished, replaced by a triumphant ruthlessness.

With a burst of forbidden techniques, a primordial beast-like aura surged from Zeng Gang, who took a step forward, his right fist shining brilliantly as he instantly struck towards Chen Fei.

His fist had yet to truly strike, but the surrounding vital energy of heaven and earth was already tumultuously swirling, the power unleashed by this punch far exceeding that of a common late-stage Rule Integration Realm.

Although he had not reached the Emperor Realm, he was very, very close.

Zeng Gang’s body contained a total of one hundred and five fragments of rules, even more crucial was that his physique, compared to his essence force, was a notch higher, reaching the Emperor Realm.

With the essence force of over a hundred fragments of rules powering an Emperor Realm physique, no ordinary late-stage Rule Integration Realm combatant would be his match.

Such tremendous strength was a secret of Zeng Gang’s.

Zeng Gang had kept it well guarded, not even his kinsmen in the Rule Integration Realm knew of it, anyone who did know had become a soul under his fist.

Upon witnessing the body movements Chen Fei had just displayed, Zeng Gang knew he couldn’t escape, yet he feigned a gesture of escape to lure Chen Fei closer to him.

As long as they were close enough, Zeng Gang would have a chance to unleash his most powerful force and catch Chen Fei off guard to slay him.

If nothing else, he had to severely injure Chen Fei.

After that, whether to kill or escape would be determined by the situation, with the initiative back in his hands.

Chen Fei watched Zeng Gang’s fist’s edge, his expression unchanging, his right hand meeting it head-on.

“Boom!”

The explosion roared to the skies, a massive ripple spreading and transforming into a huge surge sweeping through all directions.

Zeng Gang’s fierce expression suddenly stiffened; he had hoped to see Chen Fei vomit blood and retreat, just like the many cultivators who had died under his fist before.

Not having reached the Emperor Realm but possessing an Emperor Realm’s physique, anyone in the Rule Integration Realm would understand the extreme difficulty of this.

There certainly were ways, but none would be much simpler than breaking through to the peak of the Rule Integration Realm.

That’s why normal Rule Integration Realm cultivators wouldn’t even consider this possibility.

Like at this moment, Zeng Gang never expected that the pure power coming from Chen Fei’s palm would be even more staggering than his.

Chen Fei, this young prodigy of the human race, possessed a stronger physique than him.

Under Zeng Gang’s punch, not only was Chen Fei unshaken, but the rebounding force surged back fiercely.

This power was something Zeng Gang’s own physique could not withstand, and as for the late-stage Rule Integration Realm essence force defense within his body, it was pierced through as well.

“Pfft!”

Zeng Gang spat out a mouthful of blood mist, his form involuntarily retreating backward, his eyes showing genuine fear.

This time it was not a pretense, but genuine terror because Zeng Gang’s highly-prided physique was thoroughly crushed, his so-called trump card rendered worthless before Chen Fei.

“Don’t kill me, I have a secret. I can trade this secret…”

“I’ll see for myself!”

Zeng Gang’s words were cut off by Chen Fei.

Chen Fei looked at Zeng Gang, his palms flipping as he formed hand seals, pressing down like the sky caving in upon Zeng Gang.

To honor this Evil Clan member who possessed an Emperor Realm’s physique, Chen Fei decided to use pure physical strength to kill him!

“No!”

Watching Chen Fei’s pressing palm imprint, Zeng Gang roared furiously, desperately squeezing every bit of his physical strength, throwing out a punch.

In a daze, Zeng Gang felt his power seemingly make another breakthrough, reaching yet another level.

“Boom!”

Chen Fei’s palm imprint directly struck down Zeng Gang’s punching edge, unstoppable as it crashed into Zeng Gang’s body.

Zeng Gang’s body trembled slightly, his eyes unconsciously looking towards Chen Fei, filled with bewilderment and unwillingness.

“Bang!”

The next moment, boundless tremendous strength burst from his body, Zeng Gang’s body instantly turned into a mist of blood, his life and path extinguished.

Extracting spiritual essence, plundering talent, reading fragmented souls.

Chen Fei looked at Zeng Gang’s fragmented soul, a slight movement in his eyebrows, he retrieved an object from Zeng Gang’s mystical treasures, a piece of shattered bronze.

Zeng Gang’s physique, which surpassed the elemental force realm by one level, originated from this piece of bronze.

Chen Fei rubbed the bronze fragment, leisurely studying it.

Other Evil Clan and Ice Race cultivators of Rule Integration Realm had already become difficult to intercept unless Chen Fei chased them into the cities of either the Ice Race or Evil Clan. But that might lead to him being surrounded by Emperors of the two races and even draw out the Evil Clan ancestors.

Unless Chen Fei possessed the power to annihilate so many Emperors, even the Evil Clan ancestors, the current state of his realms of cultivation would be revealed to the entire Black Stone Domain.

A short time later, the bronze fragment which Chen Fei had integrated into his body was extracted again, and within the Source Point Space, a new segment of bronze rune was added.

The two segments of bronze rune did not resonate, despite coming from the same mysterious race, and their functions were not the same.

It could be seen that both pieces of bronze rune were severely incomplete, far from whole.

Meanwhile in Chen Fei’s spatial grid, that pitch-black, abyss-like energy had increased a bit more.

Miles away, Kou Fen of the Evil Clans was staring intensely at a vague figure ahead, he had finally caught up to the elusive thief!
