Cultivation: Start From Simplifying Martial Arts Techniques

Not entirely the same, but there were too many similarities.

Kou Fen naturally didn’t think this was the power of the Open Heaven Realm. The gap between the late stages of the Rule Integration Realm and the Open Heaven Realm was like a heavenly chasm.

But the secret technique Chen Fei executed at this moment must have greatly increased his strength, which was probably why he dared to challenge Kou Fen at the late stages of the Rule Integration Realm.

Kou Fen took several steps forward, quickly closing the distance between himself and Chen Fei.

Kou Fen never thought he would lose; he was only worried Chen Fei would continue to run.

Before arriving, Kou Fen had noticed that the mysterious enemy was evading him.

Why hide unless one is underpowered, which was the reason for that choice.

Now, realizing the mysterious enemy was Chen Fei, although it gave Kou Fen a great shock, it also intensified the murderous intent in his heart.

Previously hiding, and now confident enough to confront him?

Kou Fen wanted Chen Fei to understand why the Peak of the Rule Integration Realm in the Black Stone Domain could be called the Emperor Realm!

This realm was not something any below the peak of Rule Integration Realm could provoke without facing certain death!

In the blink of an eye, Kou Fen was less than a mile away from Chen Fei.

For the Rule Integration Realm, this distance was almost no different from being face-to-face.

Seeing that Chen Fei didn’t turn to flee, a dazzling light burst from Kou Fen’s eyes.

At this position, no matter what tricks this human junior had up his sleeve, he couldn’t escape from his grasp again.

Having killed so many from the Evil Clans at the Rule Integration Realm, Kou Fen wanted this human junior to neither live nor die as he wished!

Chen Fei looked up at Kou Fen, allowing him to approach. When Kou Fen raised the Broken Flame Saber again, Chen Fei’s left hand rose slightly, and the Space Rules abruptly fluctuated.

A tremendous strength appeared out of nowhere around Kou Fen, pressing down on his body.

Space Binding!

Kou Fen’s body, which was about to build momentum, involuntarily paused, but the next moment, boundless flames burst forth from his body, and the surrounding space chains, after holding on for a moment, were burned to ashes.

Space Binding was strong, binding those in the late stages of the Rule Integration Realm and could be nearly invincible.

But for someone at the Peak of the Rule Integration Realm, Space Binding was still somewhat weak.

Not that the Space Secondary Rules were weak, but the four kinds of Space Secondary Rules that Chen Fei comprehended were not strong enough.

Chen Fei maintained his composure, as he had anticipated this result. Implementing Space Binding was not really to bind Kou Fen, but to see the limits of Space Binding now. ꭆ₳ＮÓβĘꞩ

Chen Fei had an estimate for many moves, but the estimate and reality always differed.

Only real practice could test the actual power of a move.

All the surrounding flames were absorbed into Kou Fen’s Broken Flame Saber, and in the next instant, the Broken Flame Saber had reached in front of Chen Fei.

The intricacy of Space Binding slightly astonished Kou Fen.

The flames could burn the space chains to ashes not because Kou Fen’s skills surpassed Chen Fei’s, but purely because of overpowering force.

If Chen Fei had controlled complete Space Secondary Rules, the bout just now might have had a different outcome.

In that instant, countless thoughts echoed in Kou Fen’s mind: how did he achieve such inconceivable insights into martial arts in less than three years?

Kou Fen had come to accept that Chen Fei, having broken through to the late stages of the Rule Integration Realm and possessing strength far beyond the average at that stage, was a fact.

With precious treasures, one could achieve such effects, and there are countless treasures stronger than that. Otherwise, how could the ancestor of the Evil Clans have forcibly broken through to the Open Heaven Realm back then?

But what Kou Fen didn’t expect was that Chen Fei had also reached such a level in his martial arts insights.

It was as though Chen Fei had cultivated his current cultivation step by step on his own, but how could three years be enough!

The more exceptional Chen Fei performed, the more the murderous intent surged in Kou Fen’s heart.

Today, it is a fight to the death!

“Boom!”

The Broken Flame Saber struck the blade of the Qianyuan Sword, causing the Qianyuan Sword to tremble violently, as though it would break at any moment.

Being merely a low-grade Dao Artifact, if it weren’t for the support of Chen Fei’s essence force, facing the slash of the top-grade Dao Artifact, Broken Flame Saber, the Qianyuan Sword might have been immediately damaged.

“Clang!”

Having withstood the direct impact of the Broken Flame Saber, the Qianyuan Sword issued a high-pitched sword cry.

Following the sound of the Qianyuan Sword, Chen Fei slightly raised his eyelids and looked at Kou Fen.

This strike was mighty. Kou Fen hadn’t held back in the slightest, employing both water and fire together, treating Chen Fei as if he were a same-rank Emperor Realm being he was trying to kill.

Not because Kou Fen thought Chen Fei possessed the Emperor’s Power, but because Kou Fen didn’t want to give Chen Fei any chance to resist.

Yet, facing this strike, Chen Fei didn’t retreat a step.

The power contained in the water and fire secondary rules struck Chen Fei’s body violently, trying to completely dissolve him.

But this force couldn’t even penetrate Chen Fei’s interior and was directly blocked outside his physique.

Approaching the power of three secondary rules, igniting the small Open Heaven Realm power of Earth, Water, Fire, Wind, along with superior insights into martial arts.

With such superior attributes, Chen Fei had no reason to lose.

Chen Fei knew this, but Kou Fen did not.

With one slash, Chen Feian remained unharmed and even managed to catch it with ease, which involuntarily made Kou Fen’s eyes widen.

In the Black Stone Domain, the records of battles between late stages of the Rule Integration Realm and the peak of the Rule Integration Realm show that the strongest among those in the late stages struggled for over a dozen moves against a peak opponent before dying from exhaustion.

Describing it as struggling for a dozen moves might sound relatively neutral, but in reality, the person from the late stages had burst forth using forbidden techniques, recklessly charging in.

And the one at the peak merely defended casually, not even exerting much effort, before the one from the late stages met his death first.

It was called a duel, but in truth, it was nothing but a high-handed play.

Kou Fen was not thinking about playing around because he was worried about other complications and thought that killing Chen Fei as soon as possible was what mattered most.

But the result of this slash was too much for Kou Fen to accept.

Chen Fei was indeed at the late stages of the Rule Integration Realm, and even during this move clash, Kou Fen sensed the approximate level of Chen Fei’s cultivation. The fragments of rules definitely did not exceed ninety pieces and might even be fewer.

Yet still, why could he so easily block his attack?

Earlier, Kou Fen sensed that Chen Fei had strong control over the rules and essence force. Thus, Kou Fen’s slash was an outright application of the secondary Space Rules of fire and water to suppress, forsaking most variations.

Just as earlier, the blazing flames burned through the space chains.

But now, it had failed.

“Emperor’s Power…”

Chen Fei looked at Kou Fen, and couldn’t help thinking of the Wu Meng Clan’s Wu Han; without her, Chen Fei would not have obtained the Nine Heavens Star Kill or ignited the minor Open Heaven Realm status of Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind.

Without this explosive state of elemental energy, even if Chen Fei’s physique were stronger than Kou Fen’s, Kou Fen could still suppress Chen Fei in many aspects.

But now, with the flaw in elemental energy remedied, the Emperor’s Power before Chen Fei seemed just like this.

“Clang!”

Chen Fei flipped the Qianyuan Sword in his hand, and a tremendous force followed the edge of the blade, colliding with the Broken Flame Saber.

Kou Fen felt a tremendous force surge toward him, his pupils slightly shrinking while the secondary rules of fire and water within his soul suddenly interwove, bursting forth with a power far greater than before from within his body.

Boundless Slash!

A secret technique recorded in the Evil Clans’ Celestial Suppression Four Profound River Basin Technique, where two types of rules collide, sparking the underlying power of the rules.

Normally, two complete types of secondary rules are needed to clash for maximum power; a deficiency in one rule requires the use of one’s essence, energy, spirit, and soul to compensate, thus it greatly weakens the practitioner after execution.

It was slightly better than the Jade and Stone Burning forbidden technique. Kou Fen hadn’t used this secret technique for many years, but today he was forced to deploy it against someone in the late stages of the Rule Integration Realm.

Kou Fen actively pulled back the Broken Flame Saber that was repelled, then with an even more ferocious and tyrannical attitude, he chopped towards Chen Fei.

Chen Fei saw the surge in Kou Fen’s aura, but there was no change in his Qianyuan Sword, which he swung directly towards Kou Fen.

Boundless Slash, Chen Fei knew, as from the several Evil Clan members in the late stages of the Rule Integration Realm that Chen Fei had slain through God Devouring, he had obtained the incomplete Four Profound River Basin Technique.

However, all of these Evil Clan members in the late stages only managed to pass on the cultivation methods for the first three secondary rules; they had none of the fourth secondary rule.

“Clang!”

The Qianyuan Sword clashed violently with the Broken Flame Saber, and Chen Fei did not take a single step back. Instead, it was Kou Fen who had activated the Boundless Slash secret technique, who involuntarily retreated repeatedly.

Just earlier in their first move clash, Celestial Suppression had directly refined part of the force from Kou Fen’s move, converting it for Chen Fei’s use.

In such a situation, Kou Fen even after deploying Boundless Slash, was completely no match for Chen Fei.

Kou Fen’s expression changed drastically, as the overwhelming force pierced through his defenses, rampaging wildly within his body.

Kou Fen stared deathly at Chen Fei and suddenly, he realized that the tide of battle was sliding toward a position he hadn’t anticipated at all.

It was clear that he was the peak of the Rule Integration Realm, he was the Emperor Realm powerful being, and Chen Fei was just someone from the late stages of the Rule Integration Realm. How could things have turned out this way?

Only the second move, yet he, Kou Fen, was the one injured and was being suppressed by someone from the late stages of the Rule Integration Realm, even possibly facing a life-threatening situation?

Thinking of a threat to his life, Kou Fen’s pupils shrank violently.

It now appeared that this human, Chen Fei, hadn’t been caught up to by him earlier, but was actually waiting here for him to appear.

Then why did he keep avoiding him earlier? To kill more members of the Evil Clan from the Rule Integration Realm?

Countless thoughts flashed through Kou Fen’s mind.

But when the truth lay before his eyes, no matter how hard it was to accept, he had to acknowledge it.

Kou Fen had lived for thousands of years, and he naturally understood this principle.

A real man can bend and stretch!

Thinking this, Kou Fen leveraged the force from his retreat to suddenly turn around, unhesitatingly fleeing towards the distance.

Just injured, Kou Fen ended up abandoning his dignity as an Emperor, fleeing from someone merely at the Rule Integration Realm!

Chen Fei was startled, having not expected Kou Fen to flee so decisively.

But just as Kou Fen had planned earlier, getting close to Chen Fei, leaving Chen Fei no way to escape.

Now that they were so close, Chen Fei didn’t even need to use the Cangqiong Domain; Kou Fen couldn’t think of escaping this battle circle.

Chen Fei’s mental defense flickered slightly, and the boundless power of space descended upon Kou Fen.

Although the fiery chains burned through space, Kou Fen’s steps involuntarily halted.
