Cultivation: Start From Simplifying Martial Arts Techniques

“If I were you, I definitely wouldn’t practice this technique!”

The Demonic Body slowly floated up, looking down from a higher vantage point at its true self. “But I must also thank you. If you hadn’t practiced this Six Desires Demonic Separation, I wouldn’t exist, and I wouldn’t have the chance to replace you!”

A hint of madness appeared on the demon’s face. With nine talents, the Sword Dominates the Galaxy, and the Dust Giant Body, this combination made it virtually invincible within the Mountain Sea Realm.

The true self was bound to have some hidden moves.

The demon knew the method for cultivating the Six Desires Demonic Separation and understood that, fundamentally, this inheritance still favored the true self.

But so what? With the current foundation, any hidden moves were simply insufficient to break the Dust Giant Body.

The Dust Giant Body was too powerful, so strong that it could not be swayed by ordinary forces.

Just like how Ye Zhaoyu once used a spiritual treasure to evade the Demonic Body—this method was indeed effective. For an average cultivator, it could influence the duel between the Demonic Body and the true self.

However, with Chen Fei’s current state, the Dust Giant Body was completely impervious to the minor enhancement of the spiritual treasure.

In the present condition, as long as it wasn’t four consecutive strikes of the Dust Law Sword, the state remained at its peak.

Moreover, with the continuous absorption of void essence, the Nine Heavens Stellar Technique, and the Sword Dominates the Galaxy’s recovery speed at 70%, as long as it wasn’t excessively reckless, even two consecutive strikes of the Dust Law Sword could be recovered quickly.

The strongest in the Sun and Moon Realm, that was the demon’s self­assessment.

Back in the day, the so-called number one of the Mountain Sea Realm, Dream Shadow Master, would be obliterated by just two strikes of the Dust Law Sword at the peak of the Mountain Sea Realm without any surprises.

Chen Fei sensed the Demonic Body’s aura and his expression shifted slightly.

At this moment, Chen Fei began to understand the kind of pressure others felt when facing him.

They were probably cursing him out in their minds.

“Shall we deal with a few pesky mice while we’re at it?” Chen Fei chuckled softly.

“Why rush with those mice? After swallowing you, we can deal with them.”

The Demonic Body’s face revealed a sinister smile, and the next moment, the Wind Demon Sword in his hand slashed down directly.

This Wind Demon Sword was a spiritual weapon the demon had obtained in Hundred Horn City. At that time, the Demonic Body said he would elevate it to the level of the Qianyuan Sword, and indeed, he succeeded.

On the Amber Jade Continent, the Demonic Body had plundered everywhere, especially attacking top-tier forces, killing a peakMountain Sea Realm cultivator and several late-stage Mountain Sea Realm cultivators.

The vast spiritual essence had enhanced the Wind Demon Sword, elevating it to the level of a superior-grade spiritual treasure.

Its technique was similar to that of the Qianyuan Sword over the years, although the Qianyuan Sword, refined by Pang Changping, was slightly more powerful.

However, this slight increase in power did not affect the comparison of strength between the Demonic Body and the true self.

As the Demonic Body had imagined, with nine talents and various perfected top-tier techniques, even the peak Mountain Sea Realm was no match with just a single move.

A mere superior-grade spiritual treasure’s additional power was inconsequential.

With the Wind Demon Sword slashing down, the Dust Giant Body behind the Demonic Body made the same move, and the enormous void fissure, along with the Dust Law Sword, extended wildly.

The Qianyuan Sword appeared in Chen Fei’s hand, and the Dust Giant Body behind him similarly struck out.

There was no way to defend against this. The Dust Giant Body’s technique was somewhat unique for Chen Fei.

Chen Fei had fully activated the Nine Heavens Stellar Technique to draw in vast amounts of heaven and earth essence to form the Dust Giant Body, resulting in immense pressure on his body.

This pressure was so great that if it weren’t for his innate talent being impervious to divine attacks, a single strike could severely injure him.

Thus, using the Dust Giant Body to block attacks from other Mountain Sea Realm cultivators was manageable, but blocking an identical Dust Law Sword would place an unparalleled strain on Chen Fei’s physique.

Chen Fei’s physique might not collapse; after all, with his many layers of armor and the exaggerated additional armor from the Sword Dominates the Galaxy, he is extraordinarily resilient. However, using the Suppressing Dragon Elephant to counterattack after withstanding this immense force was impossible.

The Suppressing Dragon Elephant was powerful but not invincible.

Understanding this, the Demonic Body launched the attack first, having no concern about Chen Fei retaliating with a defensive counterattack.

How difficult it is to deal with someone who understands you completely can be seen at this moment.

There were no gaps to exploit, no weaknesses to seize.

“Voom!”

The two Dust Law Swords clashed, creating a black hole spanning half a mile in the sky.

Under such force, the space in the Boundless Sea became somewhat fragile.

Dozens of miles away, several figures watched the distant anomaly, their expressions filled with shock.

“Who is this person, possessing such power?” Yu Lingxiu’s voice was a bit hoarse.

The others did not speak, as they did not know the answer either.

In the Boundless Sea, there were only a few peakMountain Sea Realm cultivators, and at this moment, they were all in the Sacred City, busy with the relocation of their original sects and would not be present here.

Even if they were here, they would not be able to engage with Chen Fei.

After the Mortal Combat battle, everyone knew Chen Fei’s terrifying strength. Even the peak Mountain Sea Realm cultivators could hardly withstand a few of his strikes.

Now, everyone in the Boundless Sea referred to Chen Fei as the number one of the Fourth Rank.

Not the number one of the Mountain Sea Realm but the number one of the Fourth Rank, including the demon race.

Ordinary people would never dare to challenge Chen Fei’s sharpness, except for the Black Divine’s followers.

The Black Divine had lost the Mortal Combat battle and was expelled by the rules of the Boundless Sea.

Before leaving, the Black Divine had given orders to all his followers to use any means necessary to bring Chen Fei into the void.

If they couldn’t do that, they were to kill him.

The Black Divine’s followers could not resist these orders, as their souls had already been altered.

Even though their instincts told them that this task was extremely dangerous and even impossible, they had to carry it out.

Thus, when they learned that Chen Fei had gone out through other channels, they followed him here to deal with him.

“Should we go up and help if we can fight against Chen Fei? Perhaps we can slay him in one go!” someone whispered.

“Let’s wait and see. It’s best to lure Chen Fei into the Wave Array. That way, our mission will be complete,” Yu Lingxiu said, shaking his head.

The Wave Array was their trump card.

The difficulty of killing Chen Fei was evident, while the possibility of tearing apart the void and banishing Chen Fei was somewhat higher.

The Wave Array could create a rift in the Boundless Sea’s space in an instant and, once activated, could withstand dozens of attacks from peakMountain Sea Realm cultivators in a short time.

Hearing Yu Lingxiu’s words, the others hesitated but eventually nodded in agreement.

At Qin Dang Mountain, Chen Fei and the Demonic Body exchanged two strikes of the Dust Law Sword. Then, both of them simultaneously ceased using the Dust Giant Body and switched to their spiritual treasures, engaging in close combat.

The experience of fighting someone with exactly the same level of strength was quite peculiar.

You could even predict clearly how your opponent would respond to your sword strike. Even if they changed their tactics midway, they would instantly adjust.

It was somewhat like a left hand fighting a right hand, a sort of internal duel.

To some extent, it was even more stringent because, unlike the natural variation in strength between two arms, the strength between the Demonic Body and the true self was supposed to be perfectly equal.

After exchanging dozens of moves, Chen Fei’s sword struck the Wind Demon Sword, causing it to be pushed back several miles.

The Demonic Body did not pursue; instead, it looked at the true self with a burning gaze, filled with excitement.

The earlier probing had led the demon to discover that the true self seemed to lack any means to suppress it.

Although the Demonic Body had appeared confident before, it had recently been sensing various techniques and memories surfacing in its soul from the Amber Jade Continent.

This had caused the Demonic Body some unease.

The Demonic Body realized that its understanding was not as exaggerated as it seemed.

As a counterpart of the true self, it should not be this out of proportion.

The Divine Blessing Dream Entry Technique was powerful, but it had a congenital flaw: the insights gained from it were often flawed.

However, the techniques obtained from the soul were in their most perfected state.

It was clear that after rapidly improving the proficiency of various techniques and talents with the Divine Blessing Dream Entry Technique, the true self had directly corrected the mistakes.

The Demonic Body had tried using the Myriad Clone to comprehend several techniques and wanted to correct the errors but found itself perplexed.

Not that it couldn’t be corrected at all, but the time required would be extremely long.

Had the true self’s understanding been subtly enhanced?

But the Six Desires Demonic Separation could make the true self conceal some things from the demon, but not to this extent.

“Warm-up is over.”

Chen Fei looked at the Demonic Body and chuckled softly, then began to operate the Water Source Separation Shadow Technique, a simplified cultivation method derived from the Six Desires Demonic Separation.

As the Water Source Separation Shadow Technique was activated, an insight appeared in Chen Fei’s consciousness, reflecting the Six Desires Demonic Separation.

The Six Desires Demonic Separation’s proficiency, which had been stagnant, suddenly increased with this insight.

Chen Fei felt a slight tremor in his soul, and a ripple spread outwards.

The Demonic Body, on guard against Chen Fei’s attack, suddenly sensed a resonance in its soul, originating from the true self.

The Demonic Body’s brows furrowed, and then its innate talent, the Heart of Sincerity, began to tremble violently.

When the Demonic Body returned to the Boundless Sea, the Heart of Sincerity had been continuously warning it to stay away from the Boundless Sea.

Yet the Demonic Body still came back, as this was an unavoidable battle.

When the true self appeared at Qin Dang Mountain, the tremors of the Heart of Sincerity had already reached a very high level, almost urging the demon to flee.

The Demonic Body had thought this was the highest level of warning. To its surprise, the current frequency of the Heart of Sincerity’s trembling had caused even the Eighth Divine Palace to shake.

This was a situation indicating a certain death!
