Cultivation: Start From Simplifying Martial Arts Techniques

Chapter 862: Sword of the Heavenly Path

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Chen Fei’s brow emitted a faint glow. In his field of vision, the Thunder Dragon Ape was enveloped in countless electric lights, causing its fur to shimmer even more brightly.

Even before making a move, a tremendous force field had already spread several miles around, enveloping Chen Fei within.

The sky rumbled as countless thunderbolts darted through the dark clouds, resonating with the demonic power within the Thunder Dragon Ape’s body.

Having just defeated Zhan Xidong, Chen Fei naturally exerted his full strength as the Thunder Dragon Ape moved, directly igniting the power within its bloodline.

Monsters lacked so-called innate talents, but the power contained within their bloodlines could be directly ignited.

This ignition wouldn’t damage their bloodline essence; instead, an intense battle might further awaken the bloodline within.

The shadow of a divine beast, the Thunder Dragon, faintly appeared behind the Thunder Dragon Ape. Its eyes turned pure purple, reflecting against the golden surface of its body.

Chen Fei’s eyelids lifted slightly. Just now, the Thunder Dragon Ape had sensed something right; currently, Chen Fei was indeed inferior to the Thunder Dragon Ape in controlling thunder.

Although the Purple Sky Stellar Technique was at the perfection stage, the Stellar Divine Technique was its backbone. When Chen Fei obtained the Purple Sky Thunder Technique, it was severely incomplete.

Moreover, in terms of grade, the Purple Sky Thunder Technique was far inferior

to the Stellar Divine Technique.

Therefore, it was almost inevitable that Chen Fei was less adept at using thunder compared to the Thunder Dragon Ape.

The Thunder Dragon bloodline, the Thunder Dragon, was by no means ordinary.

However, if Chen Fei could cultivate his innate talent, the Thunderstorm, to Great Completion, he would surpass the Thunder Dragon Ape in thunder manipulation.

Alternatively, achieving perfection in the Purple Sky Stellar Technique could also achieve this.

But currently, the Thunder Dragon Ape surpassed Chen Fei in thunder manipulation.

If Chen Fei were to use lightning to attack the Thunder Dragon Ape, the power of thunder might actually be used by the Thunder Dragon Ape, making it even stronger.

Yet, Chen Fei was not limited to just using lightning.

“Now, this young man is in some trouble,” murmured Meng Guangning, the Sacred Master of the Green Egg Sacred Land.

Others in the Mountain Sea Realm might not yet sense anything, as the battle between Chen Fei and the Thunder Dragon Ape had not yet yielded a clear outcome.

But for those in the Sun Moon Realm, even from subtle details, much could be inferred.

Just as before, when Chen Fei only displayed his techniques, several in the Sun Moon Realm deduced the origins of his techniques based on minute details. They could discern much from such subtle clues.

“Even other peak experts in the Mountain Sea Realm couldn’t achieve this.

Therefore, when the Thunder Dragon Ape exerted its full strength, Meng Guangning knew that its thunder power surpassed Chen Fei’s significantly.

“It’s a pity I only learned half of the Stellar Divine Technique,” frowned Zhan Xuming.

“It’s too early to say that now, he hasn’t even used his innate talent!” Su

Wenyu chuclded.

As Su Wenyu’s voice fell, Chen Fei’s aura suddenly changed. His fierce momentum soared into the sky, as if piercing through the heavens and earth.

The Concealment Sword trembled violently, its ringing echoing incessantly.

Seven starlights flashed across Chen Fei’s body, and the shadows of two Divine Palaces appeared within him. At the same time, the five innate talents interconnected, and a sword shadow emerged above the Divine Palaces.

Sword Dominates the Galaxy!

The advantage of thunder was weakened. With Chen Fei’s current strength augmented by seven innate talents, merely using the Seven Star Illumination Technique to fight the Thunder Dragon Ape was more than sufficient.

However, achieving a crushing victory and determining the outcome would take several dozen moves.

The Thunder Dragon bloodline, the Thunder Dragon, was by no means ordinary. In a certain sense, its advantage was even greater than that of the prodigies in the Sacred Lands.

In terms of strength and defense, monsters inherently surpass humans by a wide margin.

In a head-on collision, humans rarely gain an advantage, especially against a creature like the Thunder Dragon Ape, renowned for its strength and defensive capabilities as a king among monster bloodlines.

Chen Fei didn’t want to engage in dozens of moves, so he decided to unleash his innate fusion technique.

“Hiss!”

The sword intent instantly shattered the force field that covered several miles around the Thunder Dragon Ape.

Feeling the fierce intent emanating from Chen Fei, the Thunder Dragon Ape narrowed its large eyes slightly. In the next moment, it roared loudly, and its body unexpectedly began to grow taller.

Originally standing over ten meters tall, this was the most suitable physique for the Thunder Dragon Ape in combat.

But now, sensing the sword intent from Chen Fei, the Thunder Dragon Ape’s soul continuously felt a sharp pain, a warning signal from its soul.

As its body grew taller, its strength and defense would continue to increase, but its agility would decrease.

Seeing the human before it showing no intention to evade, clearly wanting to confront it head-on, the Thunder Dragon Ape naturally complied.

If someone dared to face it head-on, the Thunder Dragon Ape would make them understand the consequences of such actions!

“Swoosh!”

The primal energy of heaven and earth roared like a surging wave, as the Thunder Dragon Ape’s right hand, like a descending celestial palm, pressed down towards Chen Fei.

Some Mountain Sea Realm experts closer to the arena instinctively took a step back. In their perception, the heavens and earth seemed to vanish, leaving only a colossal hand continuously enlarging.

It was as if the sky was falling with no escape, inevitable death!

In the central hall, everyone, including the beasts, stared intently at the arena, awaiting the final outcome.

“Boom!”

Even though both were clearly in mid-air, the entire arena violently trembled. Where the Thunder Dragon Ape’s right palm struck, a massive sonic boom exploded, creating a huge crater in the arena beneath its palm. Despite unleashing such a ferocious attack, there was no hint of joy on the Thunder Dragon Ape’s face. Instead, its eyes were filled with astonishment and confusion.

The Thunder Dragon Ape’s golden body shimmered brightly as a tremendous force surged madly into its body from its right palm.

Demonic energy attempted to slightly block it, only to be easily torn apart. This immense force rampaged within the Thunder Dragon Ape’s body, causing it to burn its bloodline frenziedly in an attempt to suppress this power, but with minimal effect.

Under the palm of the Thunder Dragon Ape, Chen Fei stood steady, his Concealment Sword pressing against the ape’s palm.

A slight smile appeared on Chen Fei’s face as he drew the Concealment Sword upwards.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

The sound echoed like steel being forcibly torn apart. The Thunder Dragon Ape could no longer hold on, and its colossal body flew backward.

Starting from the palm, inch by inch, the Thunder Dragon Ape’s right arm shattered, every inch of flesh sliced open by a fierce force.

In an instant, the entire right palm of the Thunder Dragon Ape turned into a mist of blood, and the front half of its right arm was not spared as flesh, bone, and blood exploded into fragments.

From the elbow onward, flesh continued to explode, leaving only bones barely intact up to the shoulder.

In this direct confrontation, the Thunder Dragon Ape’s enlarged body defense was as fragile as paper.

Chen Fei watched the Thunder Dragon Ape before him, taking a step forward, and thrusting the Concealment Sword straight ahead.

A sword shadow that pierced the heavens crossed the sky, instantly piercing through the Thunder Dragon Ape more than a mile away.

The Thunder Dragon Ape’s body stiffened, countless flesh and blood began to separate. Despite the wild tremors of golden light on its surface, they couldn t stop the power of this sword.

“Hum!”

The entire arena trembled slightly as a beam of light descended. The Thunder Dragon Ape’s body disappeared and reappeared outside the arena, leaving only the lingering sword shadow.

At a critical moment, Zhan Xuming used his profound treasure to pull the Thunder Dragon Ape away.

If he had been any later, the Thunder Dragon Ape would have been minced into pieces.

The area around the arena fell silent. The power Chen Fei displayed in that moment undoubtedly reached the level of late-stage Mountain Sea Realm.

Even some late-stage Mountain Sea Realm experts would find it challenging to block Chen Fei’s sword if they were in the Thunder Dragon Ape’s place.

With the combat strength Chen Fei displayed now, he could easily advance to the third round on a fourth-stage arena.

Where did this genius come from? It seemed a bit exaggerated.

Some couldn’t help but think of the devotees of the Black Divine.

However, looking at the Sun Moon Realm experts in mid-air, if they were really devotees of the Black Divine, no matter how deep they were hidden, they probably couldn’t conceal themselves under the scrutiny of so many Sun Moon Realm experts.

In the Sacred Lands, a few mid-stage Mountain Sea Realm experts exchanged meaningful glances.

When Chen Fei defeated Zhan Xidong, they believed they had a good chance of surpassing him.

But now, seeing Chen Fei nearly tearing apart the Thunder Dragon Ape, their confidence instantly shattered. Even if they were to fight desperately, they couldn’t achieve such a feat.

The Thunder Dragon Ape was no pushover. They could defeat it, but to achieve such a crushing victory-treating the divine beast’s Thunder Dragon bloodline as insignificant—was truly unthinkable!

“What an incredible innate talent!” murmured Zhuo Xiansheng, the Sacred Master of Qingyan Sacred Lands.

From that sword strike just now, Zhuo Xiansheng knew that neither the mid­stage Mountain Sea Realm experts in the Sacred Lands nor the mid-stage demonic kings with divine beast bloodlines could withstand it.

Even if they managed to barely endure one strike, the second would surely leave them severely injured or on the brink of death.

Looking at Chen Fei’s current state, it was clear that he could unleash several more strikes without any issue-this was total dominance in every aspect.

“Will he be the top in the fourth-stage mid-stage?” Su Wenyu chuckled.

Such power gave Su Wenyu an inexplicable confidence for the three-way battle a month later.

“Don’t be impatient, my disciple. It’s not my turn yet,” chuckled suddenly Sacred Master Pang Changping of Tianyang Sacred Lands.

Zhan Xuming and the others looked at Pang Changping with surprise. Following his gaze, they turned to look at the person below.

Because of Chen Fei’s recent sword strike, all the mid-stage Mountain Sea Realm experts in the Sacred Lands showed slight fluctuations in their aura, indicating inner turmoil. Even some late-stage Mountain Sea Realm experts were affected.

However, in Tianyang Sacred Lands, there was one person who remained as steady as a mountain, both in demeanor and aura, calm like water.

“The Nine Heavens Dust Technique, my disciple has cultivated it to its deepest level. Before reaching the Sun Moon Realm, he won’t encounter any bottlenecks. The talents he has chosen are all the best recorded in the Nine Heavens Dust Technique,” Pang Changping said with a sigh, his smile fading.

“If it weren’t for this life-and-death decision now, I would prefer him to quietly cultivate and inherit the mantle of our Tianyang Sacred Lands.” Zhan Xuming and the others showed varied expressions. To refine their sect s foundational technique to its pinnacle during the mid-stage of the Mountain Sea Realm, with talents perfectly matching-this was the seed of the Sun Moon Realm.

Back in their days, they couldn’t achieve such mastery of their sect s foundational techniques during the mid-stage of the Mountain Sea Realm.

No wonder Pang Changping was reluctant to let such a disciple participate in the three-way battle to the death. If they were in his shoes, they would likely feel the same way.

“I’m quite looking forward to their showdown!” Meng Guangning murmured softly.

As Chen Fei stepped down from the platform, the gazes directed towards him had changed significantly compared to before.

If during the second round Chen Fei had made a stunning debut, this match had made it clear to everyone that Chen Fei was bound to make it to the final rankings.

Not only that, Chen Fei might even be the leader among those in the mid-stage of the Fourth rank.

“Boom!”

On the platform for the mid-stage of the Fourth rank, a huge burst of flames suddenly erupted, sweeping a disciple of the Sacred Lands off the platform in an instant.

On the platform, a figure soared into the sky amidst the flames.

If the Thunder Dragon Ape possessed the bloodline of the Thunder Dragon, then this figure was directly the true form of the Phoenix!
