Cultivation: Start From Simplifying Martial Arts Techniques

Chapter 834: Heaven and Earth Weep Together

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Fifteen minutes later, three streaks of light suddenly appeared from the void, then swiftly dashed off into the distance.

Chen Fei and his two companions sought to escape from this Evil Realm, but the Evil was determined to stop them.

Chen Fei only displayed the strength expected of a mid-stage Mountain Sea Realm cultivator, making it difficult to break free even with the combined efforts of Hao Guoshu and the other in the short term.

Ultimately, it was Gu Zijian who reluctantly took out a talisman. With its power he managed to create a rift in the Evil, allowing the three of them to escape. Chen Fei glanced back and saw the Evil City violently trembling.

In fact, this Evil had not yet broken through to the late stage of the Fourth- Tier, or rather, it was in the process of breaking through but lacked that final push, so it remained unseen throughout.

The reason it could suppress the souls of Gu Zijian and Hao Guoshu was more due to its alignment with a mysterious powerful being from beyond the void, gaining assistance from it.

Gu Zijian and Hao Guoshu were unaware of this, believing they couldn’t contend with the late-stage Fourth-Tier Evil, thus naturally wanting to flee. Chen Fei also wanted to leave, purely because he didn’t want to reveal his true strength in front of Gu Zijian and Hao Guoshu, whom he had no personal connection with.

Revealing too much would only bring him trouble.

The most crucial follow-up technique of the Slaughter Spirit Technique has already been obtained by Chen Fei. As for other items, having them would be preferable, but their absence wouldn’t greatly impact Chen Fei.

Moreover, reporting the situation here to the Mission Hall, when the experts of the Sun Moon Realm see the traces of the powerful beings from beyond the void, they will likely reward some contribution points. It’s a gain.

As Chen Fei and his companions rushed towards the direction of the Sacred City with all their might, millions of miles away on the Boundless Sea, the Sacred Master of the Green Egg Sacred Land, Song Shangke, was watching a hundred miles away, chasing after a black radiance with all his might.

Dozens of experts of the Sun Moon Realm are now searching various parts of the Boundless Sea for the true body of the Black Divine, but they have always found nothing.

However, just now, Song Shangke suddenly felt a strange fluctuation in space hundreds of miles away, causing the elemental energies of the world to churn. Such power is not possessed by ordinary Mountain Sea Realm cultivators or Monster Kings, even those at the peak of the Mountain Sea Realm.

Song Shangke was overjoyed. He did not expect to capture the trace of the Black Divine under these circumstances.

Song Shangke didn’t know why this happened, but since he detected the trace of the Black Divine, he naturally had to pursue it.

Song Shangke has already informed other experts of the Sun Moon Realm and Monster Emperors, and they are all converging towards this direction.

However, to expand the search area earlier, the distance between each expert of the Sun Moon Realm and Monster Emperor is extremely far, so it will take some time for them to arrive here.

Song Shangke had no intention of pursuing alone. Although the Black Divine’s realm had fallen to the Fourth-Tier, it had been a powerhouse of the sixth stage or higher in its prime.

The methods it might employ were entirely unpredictable.

When the other experts of the Sun Moon Realm and Monster Emperors arrived, they would surround and kill together, ensuring no unexpected occurrences. After all, if the Black Divine possessed the power to destroy all experts of the Sun Moon Realm and Monster Emperors, it wouldn’t need to hide like this; it could simply appear and eliminate them.

After chasing for a moment, the disturbance ahead suddenly paused, then reversed direction and started approaching Song Shangke.

Song Shangke frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, then began to retreat.

But the next moment, his expression changed.

The disturbance hundreds of miles away abruptly vanished, only to reappear near him.

Millions of miles away, the speed ofchen Fei and his companions slowed down. They were already thousands of miles away from the Evil City, and the Evil Realm Master was unlikely to abandon the Evil City and directly pursue them. Especially in the eyes of Hao Guoshu and Gu Zijian, being suppressed within the Evil yielded no benefits. The Evil Realm Master had no reason to relentlessly chase after them.

Chen Fei remained calm. Indeed, the Evil Realm Master would not trouble them again.

The Evil Realm Master did incur losses, but at this moment, the main concern was likely escaping.

The moment Chen Fei shattered the stone stele, the display of his momentum was enough to make the Evil Realm Master understand that keeping him here would be extremely difficult.

Even though Chen Fei did not continue to demonstrate that level of power afterward, it was enough to instill fear in the Evil Realm Master.

Unable to detain them and wanting to protect its secrets, the Evil City could only flee elsewhere.

If it delayed slightly and awaited the arrival of Sun Moon Realm experts, the

Evil City would be destroyed in an instant.

“This time, the loss is substantial. Not only did we gain nothing, but our

essence is also damaged, and my talisman… that was…”

Gu Zijian was muttering to himself when suddenly his voice trailed off, incredulously looking up at the sky.

It wasn’t just Gu Zijian; Chen Fei and Hao Guoshu were equally taken aback. In fact, even before Hao Guoshu and Gu Zijian noticed, Chen Fei had already looked up at the sky.

Just moments ago, a ripple swept across the entire sky. Though it was fleeting,

the disturbance was so powerful that it could not be ignored.

“Could it be… a Sun Moon Realm expert or a Monster Emperor has fallen?” Hao Guoshu’s voice trembled.

Chen Fei and Gu Zijian remained silent, but their minds involuntarily sank.

In the Boundless Sea, if an expert of the Sun Moon Realm or a Monster Emperor realm perished, the rules of the Boundless Sea would resonate accordingly.

It wasn’t about a shared sorrow of the heavens and earth; purely because such level of strong beings had reached the limit that the Boundless Sea could accommodate, their demise would have caused fluctuations in the rules of the world.

However, currently on the Middle Continent, experts of the Sun Moon Realm and Monster Emperor realm were not nearing the end of their lives; natural death was impossible. Could they have been killed?

With the arrival of the Black Divine, the animosities between the Sun Moon Realm and the Monster Emperors had long been set aside.

If they sought retribution, it had to wait until after the Black Divine was slain. But now, a powerful figure of Fifth-Tier realm had died—killed by the Black Divine? Hadn’t the Black Divine not yet restored to the fifth stage?

A series of doubts had arisen in the minds of the three. Their already slowed pace suddenly accelerated towards the direction of the Sacred City.

This was serious. The death of such a powerful individual was too grave for the current Boundless Sea.

If indeed the Black Divine was responsible, did it mean that other Fifth-Tier experts would also be slain if encountered alone by the Black Divine?

Previously, the Sun Moon Realm experts and Monster Emperors had searched separately to find the Black Divine quickly. However, in the future, wouldn’t this expose them to the Black Divine’s slaughter?

That night, Chen Fei and his companions returned to the Sacred City.

The Sacred City wasn’t in chaos, but the atmosphere throughout the city was oppressively subdued.

The ripple caused by the death of the Fifth-Tier expert could be clearly sensed by anyone Mountain Sea Realm or above.

Even if the Sacred City wished to conceal this matter, they couldn’t.

When Chen Fei returned to Thousand Geese City, Zhao Tianyue and the others looked grave. Seeing Chen Fei eased their emotions slightly.

At this moment, Chen Fei’s presence actually brought a sense of security to the others.

Though it was only a little, any bit of comfort at such times could help calm their emotions.

Chen Fei felt heavy-hearted as he joined the others in waiting for the Sacred City to announce more details.

Early the next morning, a piece of news spread throughout the entire Sacred City.

Song Shangke, the Sacred Master of the Green Egg Sacred Lands, had found the true body of the Black Divine and engaged in a battle, but tragically fell.

The message was brief, yet it deepened the atmosphere of oppression throughout the Sacred City.

Despite earlier speculations, having it confirmed now was still hard to accept.

It was thought that even if the Black Divine hadn’t fully regained its Fifth-Tier power, it should have been no match for a Sun Moon Realm expert.

Yet today’s news told everyone that even without full strength, the Black Divine was likely beyond the reach of ordinary Fifth-Tier experts.

The Black Divine’s concealment was primarily to expedite its recovery to the Fifth-Tier power.

Now capable of contending with Sun Moon Realm experts even at the Fourth-

Tier, when it reaches the fifth stage, the entire Sun Moon Realm in the Boundless Sea, from the early to mid Fifth-Tier, may face peril.

Even mid Fifth-Tier experts might not withstand the Black Divine’s power, making it an unknown.

The gap between the fourth and fifth stages is vast, yet Song Shangke was still slain.

The difference between early and mid Fifth-Tier is slight, likely incapable of resisting the Black Divine.

It’s difficult to imagine how the Black Divine was sealed in the past.

Perhaps the Black Divine was grievously wounded upon entering the Boundless Sea?

Ancient events are shrouded in mystery, focusing now on how to slay the Black Divine.

Preventing its restoration to Fifth-Tier power is imperative; otherwise, the

Black Divine could fully dominate the Boundless Sea.

All forces Mountain Sea Realm and above must be wiped out without exception!

In a matter of days, the atmosphere throughout the entire Sacred Lands eased somewhat.

The sky hasn’t fallen yet, and there are still many Sun Moon Realm experts and Monster Emperors. Knowing the Black Divine’s current strength in advance isn’t entirely disadvantageous.

Chen Fei and Hao Guoshu’s report on the Evil City indeed garnered attention, each earning a significant merit reward.

Chen Fei exchanged his reward for six Myriad Bamboo and refined them all into Myriad Clones.

With the original thirty Clones, Chen Fei now possessed a total of thirty-six

Myriad Clones.

Using nine Clones and correcting any flaws, Chen Fei spent a day refining his new technique, the Profound Slaughter Sword, to the Great Completion stage. Inside the Tingfeng Pavilion’s secret chamber, a phantom sword light flashed and Chen Fei’s aura instantly diminished, settling directly into the early stages of the Mountain Sea Realm.

After assessing himself, Chen Fei couldn’t help but smile in satisfaction.

Both his palace’s aura and soul fluctuations were suppressed to the level of the early Mountain Sea Realm, with slight adjustments in their frequency.

Though the changes were minor, they made a world of difference from before. “With this concealment technique, even if I were to encounter Sun Moon Realm experts face-to-face, as long as they don’t probe directly, I can perfectly conceal myself.”

Chen Fei looked down at his right hand. In the next moment, immense power surged, but ultimately, he remained only at the early stages of the Mountain Sea Realm.

Compared to the original Slaughter Spirit Technique, Chen Fei could now maintain his realm at a certain level even in combat without revealing any clues.

That Reincarnation Slaughter Technique is too bizarre, but it does speed up cultivation!”

The incomplete Reincarnation Slaughter Technique inscribed on the stone stele focused entirely on using killing to nurture oneself, a principle evident in the Slaughter Spirit Technique.

However, even within the Reincarnation Slaughter Technique, there was no solution to the issue of excessive impurities drawn out from spiritual essences. The technique simply absorbed them without concern, converting all impurities into power to modify the soul.

In a way, it resembled Chen Fei’s Clones, which absorbed spiritual essences without worrying about impurities; as long as the power was sufficient.

Chen Fei had long forgotten most of the details of the Reincarnation Slaughter Technique, but he vividly remembered its drawbacks, reminding himself never to attempt to delve into this technique.

An hour later, Chen Fei, transformed in appearance and stature, suppressed his cultivation level and placed Duan Suizhi’s completely transformed Bird Cloud Blade on the counter of the shop.
