Cultivation: Start From Simplifying Martial Arts Techniques

Chapter 1153: Chapter 1109: Celestial Suppression Perfection

In their eyes, all cultivators in the Rule Integration Realm looked utterly exhausted.

As for their injuries, Chen Fei could not discern them through the space barrier.

Chen Fei specifically searched for fellow human cultivators in the Rule Integration Realm, many of the locations previously occupied by humans were now taken over.

This meant that the cultivators from those locations would no longer appear there, the outcome was self-explanatory.

Chen Fei briefly counted the positions, and his heart sank a little: there had been fewer than five hundred cultivators before, and now, fewer than four hundred remained.

More crucially, of the four peak Rule Integration Realm cultivators present before, only three places remained intact.

The human imperial sovereign had lost another member.

And if Chen Fei remembered correctly, the disappearing sovereign had mastered two complete secondary rules and was an extremely powerful presence among all the human imperial sovereigns.

Now, he was gone without a trace.

In comparison to the human imperial sovereigns who were dying or unconscious outside the ruins, at least they were taken into the Qiankun Cauldron with a chance for recovery in the future, unless the Qiankun Cauldron also fell here.

But the one who had just perished was truly dead, with no chance of recovery hereafter.

The Qiankun Cauldron was currently held by Qiu Gongzhi, the strongest of the human imperial sovereigns. As long as he was safe, the Qiankun Cauldron was safe.

Qiu Gongzhi had mastered three complete secondary rules, making his strength formidable even among all the Rule Integration Realm cultivators in the Black Stone Domain.

Yet in this ruin, even with Qiu Gongzhi’s strength, he could barely manage to hold on.

Chen Fei shifted his gaze away, clutching a Rule Crystal in his sleeve, and disappeared from the spot.

Atop the mountain, Chen Fei’s figure manifested, and one hundred and eight warriors appeared before him, then merged into nine early-stage Rule Integration Realm warriors.

The vital energy of the nine warriors connected, creating a formation that enveloped an area within ten miles.

Ripples appeared in the space ahead, signaling the imminent appearance of the Black Demon.

Chen Fei looked at the Rule Crystal in his hand and crushed it in one grip.

The orthodox usage of a Rule Crystal was to meditate on it slowly; however, Chen Fei had always crushed them directly to extract dense spiritual mechanisms.

Normally, such a Rule Crystal would maintain about twenty days of dense spiritual mechanisms, but in the current circumstances, where would Chen Fei find twenty days to himself?

With the continuous slaying of the Black Demons, Chen Fei had noticed the demons beginning to change.

Not only were the Black Demons changing, but sometimes the surrounding space barriers would ripple for no reason, a clear sign of space instability.

The bronze cauldron, once an Eighth Tier supreme treasure, had shattered and fallen to the seventh tier.

But because it retained the foundation of the eighth tier, it forcibly trapped many Rule Integration Realm and Open Heaven Realm combatants.

The Rule Integration Realm could be considered secondary, with their numbers trivial; but those dozens from the Open Heaven Realm, constantly attacking the space barrier, were severely depleting the bronze cauldron’s strength.

Additionally, the presence of Seventh-Tier intellect Black Demons internally restraining the bronze cauldron, continued to deplete its foundation rapidly.

Even though the bronze cauldron drew the vital energy of heaven and earth from the void to replenish itself, it was too late; already shattered, its power significantly diminished, it could not withstand such loss.

Chen Fei realized that his peaceful time for slaughtering Black Demons and earning contribution points would soon run out. To quickly enhance his abilities, he had to use the Rule Crystals to their maximum extent.

Chen Fei opened his palm; the powers of earth, water, fire, and wind converged within it, then completely envelop it and forcefully burned the shattered Rule Crystal.

The already dense spiritual mechanisms around him surged, but the Rule Crystal was consumed at an alarming rate.

A huge influx of insights filled Chen Fei’s sea of consciousness, rapidly enhancing the rule fragments within his soul.

“Roar!”

The Black Demon appeared and immediately saw Chen Fei. Just as it lunged to strike, the formation created by the nine early-stage Rule Integration Realm warriors locked the Black Demon in place.

Though the nine warriors were effectively two minor realms lower than the Black Demon in terms of cultivation level, their battle strength was far superior to that of typical early Rule Integration Realm cultivators.

Centred on the Divine Power of Immortal Vision, they could freely transform their essence, energy, spirit, and soul while directly drawing from the vital energy in the void as their source of power.

Built on the foundation of the Perfection Stage’s Desolate Universe God Slaying Technique, the warriors possessed battle strength that could directly contend with mid-stage Rule Integration Realm without falling short.

These were akin to nine newly entered mid-stage Rule Integration Realm cultivators, all completely in sync and combined into a formation.

While the nine warriors together couldn’t slaughter a late-stage Rule Integration Realm Black Demon, Chen Fei didn’t plan to have the warriors kill the demon, merely to stall for a short time.

In Chen Fei’s hands, the Rule Crystal vanished before his eyes, being completely consumed within just a few moments.

Such extreme consumption of a Rule Crystal, although more wasteful compared to Chen Fei’s usual twenty days of gradual progress, was necessary for bursting forth with more potent spiritual mechanisms.

Of course, Chen Fei could also keep the Rule Crystal and use it when he left the ruins, in a quiet environment. However, in Chen Fei’s perspective, anything that could be converted into power was best transformed right on the spot.

Chen Fei slowly opened his eyes, his imposing aura sweeping around him, his body’s energy fluctuating violently for a moment before it slowly stabilized.

Within his soul, the number of rule fragments Chen Fei possessed had increased from one hundred and forty-one to one hundred and fifty-five.

This time, Chen Fei had only enhanced the Space Secondary Rule “Big”, adding fourteen rule fragments, bringing the total number of this secondary rule to one hundred and five.

Just three more Space Secondary Rule “Big” fragments, and Chen Fei would be able to fuse them into a complete secondary rule.

Despite significant wastage, the Rule Crystals had allowed for such an increase, which was far better than Chen Fei had anticipated, the discrepancy arising from the growth of his own talents.

For these three rule fragments, with his own cultivation, Chen Fei would need only about nine days, but he wasn’t currently in a position to do that, so he needed to continue acquiring Rule Crystals.

Besides the growth in rule fragments, the martial arts technique Desolate Universe God Slaying Technique had progressed from just entering the stage of Perfection to eighty percent perfected, and with one more Rule Crystal, this technique could also step into the stage of Perfection.

The intense fluctuation in Chen Fei’s energy was neither due to the growth in the Space Secondary Rule fragments nor the proficiency of the Desolate Universe God Slaying Technique nearing Great Completion, but due to Celestial Suppression.

Of all the divine techniques Chen Fei cultivated, this one, under the assistance of the Rule Crystals, had finally stepped into the stage of Perfection.

Within his physique, seventy-two Power Rule fragments gathered together, resembling a magnificent gemstone. @@novelbin@@

Even without fully cultivating the Power Rule, just the gathering of these seventy-two fragments already exuded a perfect texture.

Chen Fei slowly clenched his fist, feeling the power contained within his physique.

Just as Chen Fei had anticipated, the Sixth-Tier Celestial Suppression at the stage of Perfection immediately endowed him with a physique surpassing four secondary rules, progressing towards a rule body of the Open Heaven Realm.

With such a physique, facing those at the peak of the Rule Integration Realm who had mastered only one secondary rule, Chen Fei, without activating the Open Heaven Realm state, could defeat them with just a few punches.

The physical power was vastly superior; even if his essence force couldn’t keep up, it was completely compensated by the sheer strength.

“Bang!”

Ahead, a warrior was torn apart by a Black Demon, creating a disparity in the formation, and the remaining eight warriors, although struggling, were shredded by this late-stage Rule Integration Realm Black Demon one after another.

“Roar!”

After tearing apart nine bothersome warriors, the Black Demon let out an excited roar, its eyes blazing with a violent red light, madly charging towards Chen Fei.

Chen Fei looked up, facing the Black Demon that appeared before him, and slapped it away.

“Thud!”

A dull sound resonated, and the Black Demon’s head, where it made contact with Chen Fei’s palm, twisted and deformed, then cracked, and finally exploded into a cloud of black mist.

The body of the Black Demon trembled slightly and was likewise crushed into black mist, vanishing from sight.

Chen Fei lightly dusted his hands, casually testing the increase in his strength; even describing it as a meteoric rise seemed insufficient.

With Chen Fei’s current battle strength, continuing to fight late-stage Rule Integration Realm Black Demons would be rather slow.

Taking advantage of the ruins that had not completely collapsed yet, he should earn more contribution points and then exchange them for Rule Crystals.

In less than a short time, ripples appeared ahead, and soon after, another late-stage Rule Integration Realm Black Demon emerged.

Upon seeing Chen Fei, the Black Demon was just about to roar when its entire body suddenly froze mid-air.

The next moment, a tremendous force of space struck down, turning this late-stage Rule Integration Realm Black Demon directly into a cloud of black mist, extinguishing its life force.

Since he had decided to fight peak Rule Integration Realm Black Demons, the speed of killing these late-stage ones naturally had to be faster.

In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, ripples appeared ahead once more, and it was evident that the amplitude of these ripples was greater than the previous times. Slowly, another Black Demon emerged into view.

Sensing the aura of this Black Demon, Chen Fei remained composed, just as he had anticipated. After quickly dispatching the late-stage Rule Integration Realm Black Demons, the challenge increased—this time, it was genuinely a peak Rule Integration Realm Black Demon.

“Roar!”

The Black Demon roared furiously, its immense sonic waves rippling in all directions. As it lunged towards Chen Fei, he had already moved to face the demon.

The madness in the Black Demon’s eyes intensified, and it swiped its claw towards Chen Fei’s head.

Chen Fei didn’t dodge or defend, but Space Binding tugged at the Black Demon’s body, causing its motion to involuntarily pause.

The next moment, Chen Fei drew back his right fist, then swung it forward, punching the Black Demon right in its face.

There was no finesse to the punch; it was purely a swing of the fist. Yet, with that punch, the face of the peak Rule Integration Realm Black Demon instantly shattered, and its vicious aura diminished significantly.

Chen Fei took a step forward and punched the Black Demon in the chest, the brutal force directly tearing apart half of the demon’s body.

“Boom!”

The body of the Black Demon flew backward, crashing into the mountain range below, causing a cluster of peaks to topple and crumble.

Chen Fei didn’t pursue but paused for a moment. Regardless of the strength of the peak Rule Integration Realm Black Demons he killed, the contribution points awarded were the same; naturally, it was simplest to kill them in this manner.

In less than a short time, two peak Rule Integration Realm Black Demons lay dead by Chen Fei’s hand, and he appeared in the Exchange Space, eyeing the Rule Crystals.
