Cultivation: Start From Simplifying Martial Arts Techniques

Chen Fei was looking down at the two bronze fragments in his hand, and with a slight effort of his right hand, he managed to make some marks on the bronze fragments.

But as soon as Chen Fei relaxed his grip, the marks quickly restored themselves.

Chen Fei’s eyebrows twitched slightly, for the resilience of these bronze fragments was extraordinary, and this was despite the fact that the fragments were completely shattered, still maintaining such toughness.

If the bronze artifact was in its complete form, Chen Fei reckoned he wouldn’t even be capable of leaving a mark on it.

And yet, such a supreme treasure had been forcibly shattered by other races.

In Chen Fei’s eyes, even the incomplete bronze fragments already belonged to the category of supreme treasures, with which he could cultivate at a much faster speed.

Other cultivators, whether geniuses or of ordinary talent, could also use these bronze fragments to further improve themselves, even breaking through seemingly indestructible bottlenecks directly.

Chen Fei had been using the runes within the first bronze fragment quite frequently recently, and with the help of these bronze runes, he got a sense of what it felt like to be a prodigy.

Sometimes the gap between an ordinary being and a prodigy is truly more exaggerated than that between different species.

Whereas an ordinary being needs multiple practice sessions just to barely grasp something, and sometimes, despite repeated attempts, they still can’t master it, ending up marching in place.

Without his panel, Chen Fei would have been just an ordinary being, unable to even leave Pingyin County and would have perished at the hands of that eerie hand.

Having absorbed the runes from the second bronze fragment into the Source Point Space, Chen Fei had also understood its function.

Unlike the first bronze rune, which supplements what is deficient but does not aid what is excessive, the pillaging of the second bronze rune was much more direct.

However, what it stacked up was not talent but the strength of one’s physical body refinement.

According to Zeng Gang’s memory, when he was cultivating his physique at the late stages of the Rule Integration Realm, he could use the bronze rune to draw power for enhancement from the spiritual essence of the early stage Rule Integration Realm.

Unlike the runes that pillaged talent, those that pillaged lesser talent than one’s own were almost ineffective.

Of course, this bronze rune also had a limit; if the target of the physical pillage was too weak, there would be no effect either.

For instance, attempting to pillage the spiritual essence of the Sun Moon Realm while in the Rule Integration Realm would not increase physical strength at all.

After Zeng Gang elevated his physique to the Emperor Realm, further enhancing his physical strength required starting at least from the mid-stage of the Rule Integration Realm—anything below that was only marginally better than nothing.

So, Zeng Gang, who had lingered at the strength of a secondary rule body for a lengthy period, was actually unable to advance any further.

The two bronze runes had their own strengths: enhancing talent opened up more possibilities for the future, while strengthening the body seized the present, granting greater battle strength.

Chen Fei’s current power that exceeded his cultivation realm was due to the formidable physique granted to him by Celestial Suppression.

If Zeng Gang had possessed both bronze runes from the start, by now he would likely have been a forceful figure in the Emperor Realm.

However, such scenarios are devoid of “ifs,” as one’s life experiences cannot be clearly stated.

For a cultivator, to serendipitously own a bronze rune was already considered extremely fortuitous.

These bronze fragments originated from some race in the ancient past, a creation that seemingly defied heaven itself.

Chen Fei flipped his right hand and placed the two bronze fragments into an idle mystical treasure.

There was an eerie aspect about these bronze fragments, not due to their abilities, but because of the dark, abyss-like energy they contained—it likely held major issues. Рä𐌽ȱBƐṧ

Chen Fei used his panel to restore runes and deliberately extracted the bronze fragments that no longer contained the dark energy, wary of any strange troubles they might bring.

Chen Fei waved his hand, storing Zeng Gang’s mystical treasures into his sleeve, and looked ahead towards Kou Fen, thousands of miles away.

When Kou Fen detected Chen Fei’s trail, Chen Fei had already been aware that Kou Fen was continuously tracking him.

To some extent, Chen Fei had deliberately left some traces behind, allowing Kou Fen to catch up.

Otherwise, given his current stride of more than a thousand miles at a step, and with Celestial Suppression erasing his traces, it would have been impossible for Kou Fen to track him down to this place.

Kou Fen wanted to kill Chen Fei, but Chen Fei was just as eager to slay an Evil Clan’s Emperor!

Using the power of the late stages of the Rule Integration Realm to confront someone at the peak of Rule Integration Realm was an exceedingly crazy act.

Throughout the lengthy history of the Black Stone Domain, none who undertook such actions succeeded, and the consequences were always extremely grave.

The peak of the Rule Integration Realm was known as the Emperor Realm in the Black Stone Domain, not only because the peak of Rule Integration was historically the pinnacle of the Black Stone Domain but also because those at the peak possessed a nearly insurmountable advantage in battle strength when crossing ranks.

For this reason, possessing the peak of Rule Integration was critical for protecting one’s race, allowing it to survive barely within the Nothing Realm without fearing sudden extinction.

With Chen Fei’s essence force and cultivation, coupled with the Desolate Universe God Slaying Technique at the Great Completion stage, he could dominate within the Rule Integration Realm. Even the typical late-stage peak of the Rule Integration Realm was absolutely no match for him.

But that alone was far from enough to contend with the Emperor Realm, even if it was just one controlling a secondary rule.

Chen Fei also had the Godslayer State, which, at the cost of igniting fragments of Earth, Water, Fire, Wind rules, unleashed power far exceeding his realm.

More importantly, because of Chen Fei’s high comprehension of the Desolate Universe God Slaying Technique, this power was entirely under his control.

Only the power truly mastered is truly one’s own.

Last, and most importantly, his rule body approached the proximity of three subordinate rules, a feat not possessed by many at the peak of the Rule Integration Realm.

Chen Fei calmly stood in place, watching as Kou Fen approached rapidly with the power of the water and fire subordinate rules.

With Chen Fei’s current level of insight, he could discern many underlying details from various phenomena.

This Evil Clans Emperor fully grasped the subordinate rule of fire and was now contemplating the subordinate rule of water.

The level of comprehension of the water rule should not be considered high, at least not over half; there’s still a considerable distance from mastering two subordinate rules.

Kou Fen’s level of cultivation was typical among the peak cultivators of the Rule Integration Realm within the Black Stone Domain.

Over half of the emperors of the human race also fell under this realm of cultivation with fewer than two subordinate rules.

To master a single subordinate rule was an unimaginable feat for many beings, let alone to continue mastering another subordinate rule—how could it be easy!

As the distance closed, the form and aura of the distant figure gradually became clear before Kou Fen, with the surprise in his eyes growing more intense.

The human race, Chen Fei?

Kou Fen had a profound memory of Chen Fei—their confrontation outside Jiguang City still vivid in his mind.

A streak of slaying eight same-rank early-stage Rule Integration Realm cultivators, yet the Ice Race and Evil Clans were unable to do anything to Chen Fei.

Since that duel, Chen Fei had made it onto the must-kill list of the Ice Race and Evil Clans, but regardless of who from the Rule Integration Realm they dispatched to assassinate him, all attempts ended in failure.

Geniuses have their destinies; as mysterious as this is, it’s not uncommon in the Black Stone Domain.

The inability to kill Chen Fei did not lead the Ice Race and Evil Clans to abandon their pursuit—their mission in ambushing the human race this time included finding Chen Fei and ensuring he remained here forever.

But Kou Fen never imagined he would encounter Chen Fei in this place.

The mysterious enemy he had been tracking—Kou Fen had speculated many identities but had never targeted this human junior.

In Kou Fen’s eyes, Chen Fei was still just a junior, an unripe talent of the human race.

A human that he could easily snuff out if encountered.

Chen Fei might have immense talent and pose a huge threat to the Evil Clans, but that was all in the future; it had nothing to do with the present, or to say, Chen Fei would pose no threat for hundreds of years.

The urgency to kill Chen Fei was simply to eliminate all threats prematurely.

But what was happening now?

All of Chen Fei’s records were in Kou Fen’s hands.

A being who came from the lower realms to the Return to Nothing Realm, rising from the low-level Sun Moon Realm to the pinnacle of the Sun Moon Realm, all within a span of a few years.

If Kou Fen was not mistaken, the aura now exhibited by Chen Fei indicated the late stages of the Rule Integration Realm. To reach from the peak of the Sun Moon Realm to the late stages of the Rule Integration Realm in less than three years?

Most importantly, if all the Evil Clans’ Rule Integration Realm cultivators who died here were indeed killed by Chen Fei alone, then this strength was not comparable to that of an ordinary late-stage Rule Integration Realm cultivator.

And there were definitely not fewer members of the Ice Race who perished here than those of the Evil Clans.

Kou Fen’s eyes narrowed slightly, the surprise within long dissipated, leaving only a fierce intent to kill.

Kou Fen did not know how Chen Fei had cultivated, perhaps through the aid of a supreme treasure, or for some other reason.

But no matter what, today, Chen Fei must die and stay here forever!

As for the reason, once Chen Fei was killed, Kou Fen could slowly find out.

A span of a thousand miles, under Kou Fen’s full sprint, was crossed in just a moment.

Arriving within a hundred miles of Chen Fei, Kou Fen’s Broken Flame Saber suddenly lifted, and in the next instant, a slash streaked across the sky as if to completely sever this world into two.

Chen Fei’s eyelids slightly lifted as he watched the saber light fall from the sky, igniting the Earth, Water, Fire, Wind fragments within him, and a vast power suddenly enveloped him.

Black lightning traveled along Chen Fei’s body; the entire world, as seen through his eyes, morphed into something different.

Above the sky was still that saber light, but to Chen Fei, there were now many disparities.

Chen Fei took a step forward, directly breaking free from Kou Fen’s mental lock-on.

“Hum!”

The sabre light grazed Chen Fei’s body and descended into the mountains below.

There was no explosion; the mountains silent as if dissolving, revealing a hundred-mile-long colossal canyon.

Kou Fen, observing the changes in Chen Fei’s aura, suddenly furrowed his brows; this aura inexplicably instilled unease in him.

Chen Fei’s ability to avoid his probing strike didn’t surprise Kou Fen; without such strength, how could he have killed so many Rule Integration Realm cultivators of the Evil Clans?

But the aura that Chen Fei currently emitted reminded Kou Fen of an ancient ancestor from his clan.
