Cultivation: Start From Simplifying Martial Arts Techniques Chapter 1010: 981

Chapter 1010: 981

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

With a series of sword strikes, the waves of synergy swept across the entire martial arena, rendering the Spirit Puppet’s three Divine Powers useless, putting it at a disadvantage for the first time.

The strength of a warrior at the Sun Moon Realm largely depends on their Divine Powers.

Of course, the level of the cultivation realm is the foundation and decisively influences battle strength.

However, when a late-stage Sun Moon Realm pract.i.tioner can no longer use any of their three Divine Powers, their combat strength significantly drops, especially when their opponent can still use Divine Powers normally.

Moreover, Chen Fei discovered that the G.o.d-slaying Sword could not only disrupt the rule particles within the enemy’s Divine Powers but also induce a similar memory loss effect upon contact with their ordinary moves.

This was something Chen Fei had not antic.i.p.ated, clearly another characteristic of the Divine Power G.o.d Slaying Sword.

Regarding the three Divine Powers, Chen Fei was in a state of knowing what they were but not why they were, which was why he initially entered the Age Tower.

Only through actual combat can one understand the composition of one’s power.

The memory loss effect of the G.o.d Slaying Sword, combined with the insight into exploiting weaknesses from the Great Completion Desolate Night G.o.d Slaying Sword, allowed the warrior to dominate the Spirit Puppet in fewer than ten moves.

If the Spirit Puppet were a normal creature, it would have sensed something was wrong by now and probably would have attempted to flee.

But the purpose of the Spirit Puppet’s existence is to kill all living beings in the martial arena, harboring no concept of fear or retreat even in battle.

Thus, even as each sword strike from the warrior weakened the Spirit Puppet a bit more, it showed no sign of evasion.

“Hiss!”

The sound of the sword blade tearing through the air resounded, and the Spirit Puppet’s body stiffened in midair; then a dazzling crack of light burst from its neck, and the next moment, it vanished.

In fewer than a hundred moves, a late-stage Sun Moon Realm Spirit Puppet was counter-slain by an early-stage Sun Moon Realm warrior.

The Spirit Puppet does not represent a true late-stage Sun Moon Realm pract.i.tioner, as it is considerably weaker, and the warrior’s early stage realm is also abnormal.

Which house’s early-stage Sun Moon Realm pract.i.tioner could deploy such top-tier Great Completion Divine Powers, coupled with the first rank Fifth-Tier martial arts technique of the Great Completion human race?

Back in his early days at the Sun Moon Realm, Chen Fei did not have such a luxurious arrangement.

That is to say, if Chen Fei at that time had encountered the current warrior, it was likely Chen Fei himself who would have been blown apart.

A beam of light descended from the sky, falling upon Chen Fei.

The beam was able to heal injuries and restore energy, clearly not intending to let the challenger continue fighting in successive battles.

In less than a moment, the light disappeared, and in front of the martial arena, three figures of Spirit Puppets appeared.

The stage was the same as before, still at the late Sun Moon Realm.

This test proved interesting, escalating step by step, letting challengers know exactly where they stood should they fall at any step.

The three Spirit Puppets charged at Chen Fei, while three early-stage Sun Moon Realm warriors materialized beside him, totaling four warriors including the one from before.

Still deploying Indestructible Vision with the Slaying G.o.d Sword, outnumbering their opponents by one.

A swift engagement, and the four warriors disa.s.sembled their three Spirit Puppet adversaries, preventing them from forming any formations.

Then, two warriors each dragged away a Spirit Puppet, while the remaining two a.s.saulted the third one.

A moment ago, one-on-one took only dozens of moves to end the fight, and now two-on-one, after silencing the Spirit Puppet’s three Divine Powers, it took fewer than ten moves to defeat the Spirit Puppet.

The other two Spirit Puppets, having forgotten how to deploy their Divine Powers under the onslaught of the four encircling warriors, were also shattered within a few moves and disappeared from the martial arena.

Watching the swirling vital energy of heaven and earth in front of him, Chen Fei’s gaze fluctuated.

One step stronger, and every step thereafter was stronger. The solid foundation acc.u.mulated during his time in the Mountain Sea Realm was indeed not in vain, continuously rewarding Chen Fei during his cultivation in the Sun Moon Realm.

Now in the Sun Moon Realm, Chen Fei continued to solidify his own foundation, which would surely benefit him immensely in the Rule Integration Realm in the future.

Another beam of light fell upon Chen Fei, although his consumption was minimal.

Merely summoning four warriors was not a significant drain on Chen Fei’s energy, restoring to normal after a few breaths.

As for the battle between the warriors and the Spirit Puppets, it was purely the warriors drawing on the vital energy of heaven and earth, with Chen Fei hardly expending any mental effort to control how they fought.

The warriors purely operated on instinct, lacking a bit of flexibility and easily targeted by stronger adversaries, but this reduced the strain on Chen Fei’s mental defenses.

Of course, when necessary, Chen Fei could also take over control of the warriors, directing their combat with his own soul.

The beam of light vanished, and the s.p.a.ce in front of the martial arena rippled.

This time, only one Spirit Puppet appeared, but its stage had reached the peak of the Sun Moon Realm.

A warrior charged forward, and amidst a thunderous explosion, the warrior was instantly destroyed by the Spirit Puppet.

The disparity in power between the early stage and the peak of the Sun Moon Realm was too great, and despite strategies such as exploiting weaknesses and using Indestructible Vision, they couldn’t bridge such a vast gulf in stages.

Chen Fei wasn’t surprised; by summoning a sufficient number of warriors, he probably could wear down the Spirit Puppet.

But for Chen Fei, the cost-effectiveness was low, as deploying warriors also consumed his essence, energy, spirit, and soul, plus Chen Fei was not strictly a summoner.

Chen Fei was strongest when relying on himself.

The Qianyuan Sword appeared in Chen Fei’s hand, now an upper-grade Celestial Treasure.

After leaving the Gla.s.s s.p.a.ce, Chen Fei spent some time upgrading both the Qianyuan Sword and the Concealment Bell to the upper-grade Celestial Treasure level.

The base was already sufficient, just not very suitable back in the Gla.s.s s.p.a.ce.

Chen Fei deployed the G.o.d-slaying Sword, attaching it to the Qianyuan Sword, turning the blade of the sword a profound black.

Driven by a late-stage Sun Moon Realm pract.i.tioner, the G.o.d-slaying Sword’s effect was naturally much stronger than that of the warriors.

Different realms of cultivation exhibit vastly different effects when deploying the same Divine Power; the difference lies in the vastly distinct levels of essence, energy, spirit, and soul.

Thus, realms of cultivation remain the most crucial aspect. Chen Fei was merely consolidating his foundation without delaying the enhancement of his realm.

Being purely biased toward one aspect was too extreme, a choice Chen Fei would not make.

After annihilating a warrior, the Spirit Puppet turned to Chen Fei, then instantaneously appeared before him and cleaved with its sword.

The power that enveloped everything seemed to solidify s.p.a.ce itself, rendering movement impossible and even obstructing the operation of the soul.

“Boom!”

The martial arena trembled slightly. Chen Fei held the Qianyuan Sword in front of him, easily catching the Spirit Puppet’s slash and, in pa.s.sing, also turned the divine power from the puppet’s previous strike into a broken state, unable to function.

Even in defense, the G.o.d Slaying Sword could scatter the rule particles within the opponent’s divine power, immensely domineering.

Chen Fei flipped the Qianyuan Sword in his hand and slashed at the Spirit Puppet’s head.

The Forget Technique is the most important characteristic of the G.o.d Slaying Sword.

But another characteristic that cannot be ignored is the extreme flesh power.

Because the Desolate Night G.o.d Slaying Sword is centered around the rule of cultivating flesh power, Chen Fei always adhered to this principle, through fifty-seven strands of Emperor Realm heritage.

Therefore, the third Divine Power, G.o.d Slaying Sword, granted Chen Fei a tremendous power that far surpa.s.sed most divine powers, raising his attack directly to the pinnacle of the Sun Moon Realm.

Together with the part of the power from the previous slash which was refined by the Celestial Suppression, Chen Fei’s current sword strike reached a new peak of power.

“Boom!”

The Spirit Puppet, unable to dodge, took Chen Fei’s sword head-on.

Amidst the explosive sounds, the body of the Spirit Puppet involuntarily retreated step by step, disintegrating a bit with each step back, visibly trying to repair itself, but ultimately only disintegrating further.

On the sixth step, the Spirit Puppet silently turned into a ray of light and disappeared.

The violent power erased the existence of the Spirit Puppet from its very core. This was the pure power of the flesh.

Looking at Chen Fei now, the only difference from those at the pinnacle of the Sun Moon Realm was the depth of his essence, energy, spirit, and soul – and even that gap was not too significant.

Because the essence, energy, spirit, and soul cultured by the Desolate Night G.o.d Slaying Sword of the Great Completion realm far surpa.s.sed any from the later stages of the Sun Moon Realm and approached or even matched the standards of an ordinary pinnacle of the Sun Moon Realm.

Thus, considering only the essence, energy, spirit, and soul, viewing Chen Fei as a pract.i.tioner of conventional martial arts at the pinnacle of the Sun Moon Realm wouldn’t be far off.

Together with the support of Chen Fei’s three powerful Divine Powers and the Celestial Suppression of the Yuan Clan, Chen Fei’s everyday strength was already stronger than most at the pinnacle of the Sun Moon Realm without even fully unleas.h.i.+ng his power.

It was illogical, but that was the reality Chen Fei manifested.

As Chen Fei struck down the Spirit Puppet with a single sword, the Age Tower trembled slightly, and Chen Fei officially qualified to challenge the Challenger of the Age Tower.

Meanwhile, outside the Age Tower, there were already tens of thousands from the Sun Moon Realm gathered, and many more were still on their way.

With the tremor of the Age Tower, a ray of light shot from the top of the tower.

At the base of the Age Tower, a figure emerged and then stepped into the Age Tower.

Ao Zian, ranked one hundred in the Age Tower, had arrived upon hearing of Chen Fei challenging the tower.

Ao Zian naturally did not believe that the qualification test of the Age Tower would stump this prodigy.

Ao Zian had considered that Chen Fei would one day challenge the Age Tower and that there might even be a confrontation between the two.

However, Ao Zian had not antic.i.p.ated that this day would come so swiftly.

Seeing Ao Zian enter the tower, the ten thousand onlookers from the Sun Moon Realm were emotionally stirred, all watching the Age Tower’s glowing rings intently.

Just by observing the changing light of the rings on the Age Tower, one could discern the results of the battles within and even predict at which rank Chen Fei might ultimately be defeated.

Hua Zhichun stood at a distance; he had not expected Chen Fei to actually come to challenge the tower today.

Hua Zhichun felt slightly peculiar since he was also a Challenger of the Age Tower, ranked ninety-two. Perhaps he would encounter Chen Fei later?

Inside the tower.

With Ao Zian’s arrival, the mountaintop’s martial arena underwent drastic changes; in the blink of an eye, the arena disappeared, and the surrounding mountains also vanished without a trace.

Chen Fei glanced around and found himself standing on a vast lake that stretched a hundred miles wide.

The Challenger has the privilege of selecting the combat environment, as different environments can provide a combat boost depending on one’s martial arts.

“Ao Zian, please!” Ao Zian looked at Chen Fei and said solemnly, not daring to underestimate him in his heart.

“Chen Fei, please!” Chen Fei said, bowing in salute.

The moment Chen Fei finished speaking, Ao Zian disappeared from his spot, but his figure did not appear in front of Chen Fei; instead, it merged into the lake beneath them.

In an instant, the entire hundred-mile lake seemed to become myriad Ao Zians. The lake’s surface began to tremble, and then hundreds of water columns surged into the sky, transforming into water dragons that tore towards Chen Fei.

Chen Fei looked up at the sky-full of water dragons, noting the scales on their bodies and the intricately detailed runes on those scales, as if the water had truly transformed into divine beasts.

This alone highlighted the extent of Ao Zian’s mastery over martial arts and Divine Powers.

The top hundred of the Age Tower were at least among the top tiers of the human race in their cities, all with the potential to advance to the Rule Integration Realm, and some were even refining themselves in preparation for breaking into that realm.

Chen Fei’s eyes remained uns.h.i.+elded; he lifted his right foot and then dropped it abruptly.

The entire hundred-mile lake surface suddenly calmed down, and the next moment, the entire lake exploded with a roaring sound as if a primordial beast were turning over and roaring beneath the lake.

The hundreds of water dragons charging toward Chen Fei suddenly burst apart.
