Cultivation: Start From Simplifying Martial Arts Techniques

Chapter 982: Great Completion: Desolate Slaughter Night Star Sword

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“Want to escape? It’s too late to leave after leaving your head behind!”

Luo Kun laughed heartily and, leading a group of over ten water beings, charged into the desert in an instant.

The entire desert quivered slightly, and in the blink of an eye, a massive lake spanning a hundred miles appeared, with Lu Shuzhang’s figure in the middle of it.

Lu Shuzhang, who was initially swift, now seemed to be frozen in place, his speed slowing down continuously.

The lake began to shrink rapidly, and the pressure around Lu Shuzhang increased, turning his face a dark purple.

Lu Shuzhang’s talent was undoubtedly exceptional—so much so that although he could not yet battle beyond his level, he was already quite outstanding among those in the mid-stage of the Sun Moon Realm.

This was still shortly after Lu Shuzhang’s breakthrough to the mid-stage of the Sun Moon Realm. If he had more time to consolidate his power, his strength would definitely increase.

However, facing the combined assault of over ten water beings of the same level, Lu Shuzhang seemed to have no ability to resist.

His life or death was entirely in the hands of these water beings.

Struggling, Lu Shuzhang glanced back, revealing a piece of jade as thin as a cicada’s wing in his hand.

In the next moment, the jade shattered, and a terrifying aura of obliteration swept out, evaporating the lake water that had been trapping Lu Shuzhang in an instant.

Not daring to delay, Lu Shuzhang harnessed the remaining power from the jade, transforming into a streak of light and vanishing from sight.

“As expected of the descendant of the Emperor, you have many tricks up your sleeve, but you can’t escape. Your life already belongs to me!”

Luo Kun’s voice rang out with a loud laugh as the group of water beings transformed into a dark cloud, pursuing the place where Lu Shuzhang had disappeared.

In the outside world, chasing and pressuring a descendant of the Emperor could easily lead to unforeseen accidents.

Not to mention the protectors and other factors, just the numerous trump cards held by a descendant of the Emperor would be enough to give others a hard time.

But in the Glass Space, where the current realm levels were restricted to the mid-stage of the Sun Moon Realm, any power exceeding this level would be distorted by the rules.

While combat strength could exceed the mid-stage of the Sun Moon Realm, the realm level could not.

This may sound like a paradox, but the same power exhibited by different individuals would yield completely different results.

Throughout the Glass Space, various races hunted humans, causing the number of humans in the mid-stage of the Sun Moon Realm to rapidly diminish.

Many in the mid-stage of the Sun Moon Realm, unable to withstand the pressure, immediately sought to leave the Glass Space upon finding a suitable escape route.

It was as if the entire world was against them; not to mention searching for treasures, they were constantly being pursued.

Fortunately, in the Glass Space, the strongest realm level is only the mid-stage of the Sun Moon Realm, so the difference in escape speed is not excessively exaggerated.

As long as one is not surrounded, if something seems wrong, they can still choose to escape first.

Thus, among the humans in the Glass Space at the mid-stage of the Sun Moon Realm, none have yet been completely wiped out.

However, as time goes on, casualties will inevitably continue to rise. With fewer humans remaining, those who are left will become increasingly at risk.

Moreover, with Zhu Jingxin returning to the Glass Space and bringing the Emperor’s instructions, more humans began to leave the Glass Space without any psychological burden.

Those who have not yet left are either being chased or have not found a suitable escape route.

An even worse trend has emerged: many of the weak spots in space suitable for escape have been gradually occupied by other alien races.

They lie in wait for humans to arrive, ready to capture and kill them all at once!

In the Glass Space, on an unnamed mountain peak.

Chen Fei sat cross-legged on the ground, surrounded by a massive force field. Dust was tightly pressed to the ground, and the ground itself continued to sink, becoming much darker.

The Rule Crystal in Chen Fei’s hand had vanished. Though the crystal was not large, the rules it condensed were naturally limited.

Yet, the effect on Chen Fei was extraordinarily good.

This method of deriving insights from a panel and then further evolving these insights using mental acuity made Chen Fei feel that this was the true use of the panel.

Chen Fei had had such thoughts even when he was in the special training room of the Qiankun Mansion.

Now, with the Rule Crystal possessing even more abundant mental acuity, Chen Fei felt even more acutely the importance of having substantial resources.

However, treasures like Rule Crystals were not preserved in the human treasury, and it was absolutely impossible to use such a crystal for someone like Chen Fei, who was only at the mid-stage of the Sun Moon Realm.

No matter how exceptional one’s talent, one could not use Rule Crystals in this way.

“Hum!”

A ripple emanated from Chen Fei’s body, and the immense force field in the mountain’s interior disappeared with the spread of the ripple.

On the mountain peak, the wind and clouds changed dramatically, and a vague black shadow appeared in the sky.

The shadow seemed very illusory, but a close inspection revealed an intense violence within.

However, the celestial phenomenon quickly vanished, and Chen Fei in the mountain’s interior slowly opened his eyes.

With a jade-like, gentle gaze, Chen Fei’s eyes were filled with a sense of clarity and enlightenment.

The Desolate Slaughter Night Star Sword, considered one of the strongest fifth-tier human inheritances, had, with the help of the Rule Crystal, been cultivated by Chen Fei to the Great Completion stage today.

At this point, for Chen Fei, there were no more secrets to the cultivation of the Sun Moon Realm.

He had a clear understanding of how to stabilize the internal space when condensing the third divine power, and even knew the methods for breaking through to the Rule Integration Realm from the peak of the Sun Moon Realm.

What Chen Fei needed now was just time. As long as he had enough time, reaching the Rule Integration Realm would be as easy as reaching into a bag for him.

Previously, in the Qiankun Mansion, Chen Fei had told Hua Zhichun at the peak of the Sun Moon Realm that he would need a few years to reach the same realm.

Now, with the same timeframe, Chen Fei was confident that he could break through to the Rule Integration Realm!

In addition to the Desolate Slaughter Night Star Sword being cultivated to the Great Completion stage, Chen Fei had also progressed the Celestial Suppression, the ancestral clan’s foundational technique, from the entry-level to the proficient level.

The Celestial Suppression required a great deal of proficiency, and with the Rule Crystal being the only one available, Chen Fei had to divide his time between cultivating the Desolate Slaughter Night Star Sword and the Celestial Suppression.

No matter how abundant the mental acuity in the Rule Crystal, it could not withstand such consumption.

The most notable change from advancing the Celestial Suppression from entry-level to proficient level was a significant increase in Chen Fei’s physical strength.

The Desolate Slaughter Night Star Sword also cultivated physical strength, as it focused on enhancing this secondary rule after breaking through to the Rule Integration Realm.

Thus, with the Desolate Slaughter Night Star Sword at the Great Completion stage, Chen Fei’s physical strength surpassed that of the mid-stage Sun Moon Realm, and even the powerful Hill Clan, known for their immense strength, would appear like mere children compared to him in terms of raw power.

With the Celestial Suppression at the proficient level, building on the foundation of the Great Completion Desolate Slaughter Night Star Sword, Chen Fei’s physical strength was further enhanced, making his movements extraordinarily powerful.

The Celestial Suppression cultivates the rule of strength. While the increase in physical strength is evident, the true situation is that Chen Fei’s vital essence, spirit, and soul have been comprehensively enhanced, significantly boosting his resistance to various forms of defense.

Although Chen Fei was still far from condensing a rule body, his physique already contained a substantial amount of rule dust.

This rule dust provided Chen Fei with immense protection against any divine attacks.

He could withstand weaker divine attacks directly without even having to block them.

In addition to the dramatic increase in physical strength, Chen Fei could now forcibly refine a portion of any attacking divine powers and then use that refined power to counterattack, similar to how he had once dealt with the Zhen Longxiang.

Currently, there was a limit to how much he could refine, and he couldn’t refine everything. After all, divine powers from other beings, especially alien races, were composed of various rule dust.

The proficient level Celestial Suppression could not fully absorb all of it.

Nevertheless, even refining just a portion was enough to significantly boost Chen Fei’s combat power.

After all, Chen Fei combined all his refined power and then used it, which was fundamentally different from the so-called combined effort of multiple Sun Moon Realm practitioners forming a formation.

The so-called combined effort may seem like a collective force, but in detail, it remains separate.

“Boom!”

A massive hand suddenly swept across the entire mountain peak, causing the peak to vanish in an instant, revealing Chen Fei within.

“I knew there was a human hiding inside; it turns out to be true!”

Ding Shu laughed. The celestial phenomenon earlier had attracted his attention from several hundred miles away. Although the aura was fleeting, Ding Shu had still detected it.

Each race has its own unique characteristics in their techniques, so sometimes it’s possible to identify the specific race just by looking at the techniques.

The nearby Forest Clan members also showed smiles, like hunters watching their prey, focusing on Chen Fei below.

“I should have no grievances with any of you!”

Chen Fei’s figure slowly floated up. The Forest Clan and humans were not allies, but they were not at an antagonistic level either.

“Hahaha, it’s actually a human who is a devoted cultivator. No wonder he didn’t flee as soon as he saw us!”

Ding Shu was momentarily stunned by Chen Fei’s words but then laughed even louder.

“Kill him!”

Ding Shu’s smile abruptly faded as he commanded in a low voice.

Previously, whenever humans encountered other races, they would immediately flee. It was rare to encounter someone who was so unaware of the situation.

Ding Shu had no intention of giving Chen Fei a chance to understand the situation—he ordered the immediate execution.

The five Forest Clan members surrounding Ding Shu lunged at Chen Fei in an instant, arriving before him with a mere blink. Five green short daggers were thrust toward various parts of Chen Fei’s body.

These daggers were coated with potent poison designed to seal the throat upon contact, even effective against other practitioners at the same realm level.

The Forest Clan’s defining traits included prolonged lifespan, remarkable recovery abilities, and most notably, potent poison. Their divine abilities and techniques were based on poison-related rules.

“Clang!”

The sound of metal clashing distorted the air as the five daggers struck Chen Fei’s body. Chen Fei made no attempt to defend; he allowed the daggers to penetrate, yet not a single scratch marred his skin.

The five Forest Clan members were merely ordinary practitioners of the mid-stage Sun Moon Realm, and the rule dust within their techniques was scarce. This allowed Chen Fei to test his defensive capabilities.

From what he observed, his defense was holding up well!
