Cultivation: Start From Simplifying Martial Arts Techniques

Chapter 912: The Power of an Emperor

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Chen Fei furrowed his brow slightly, a faint golden light shimmering on his body as if he were activating the Invincible Golden Body.

The Divine Power Seed of the Divine Body, which could simulate other protective divine powers, had allowed Chen Fei to effortlessly manifest the Invincible Golden Body.

Duan Suizhi had flown to Chen Fei’s side but saw nothing unusual. He had merely gazed solemnly at the distant sky.

The unusual phenomenon in the Boundless Sea sky had instantly captured everyone’s attention.

The crack had been enormous, and with its appearance, the entire Boundless Sea realm had seemed to tremble slightly.

“Hahaha, this realm is indeed leaking primordial energy. The news is accurate!”

A colossal voice had echoed through the heavens, and then dozens of figures had flown out of the crack, each exuding a fifth-tier aura.

“This is the human realm. Did you all take a wrong turn?”

Nie Shengyun and the others, having appeared in front of the crack at some point, had looked coldly at the dozens of figures ahead.

“This is clearly our realm. You despicable ones occupy it, and you still dare to say such things!”

Ban Yuanfu had glanced down at Nie Shengyun and grinned.

A cold aura had emanated from Ban Yuanfu, and in the blink of an eye, the sky above had been frozen over a hundred miles.

The dozens of people behind Ban Yuanfu had also radiated an icy aura, causing a thousand-mile radius to enter a frozen state.

“Dao Yuefeng, I knew you’d calculated that I had arrived. Defeat me, and I’ll leave immediately.”

A gigantic eye had appeared outside the crack, briefly glancing at Nie Shengyun below before directly locking onto the spatial passage of Sky Sea City.

“If you can’t defeat me, then I won’t be polite with this realm’s origin!”

All beings in the Boundless Sea had heard this voice.

It had shaken the rules of heaven and earth; though the voice had been from a great distance, it had thundered in everyone’s ears.

Chen Fei had looked at the exaggeratedly large eye in the crack, a chill rising up his back.

This had been an instinctive reaction when facing an uncontrollable being.

Chen Fei had instantly recalled the alien powerhouse he had seen at the Thousand Feathers Alliance altar.

The sensation from this eye then had been exactly the same as it was now.

However, while one had been separated by an altar and the other was now in the void outside the Boundless Sea, the impact of the two had been on completely different levels.

It had been as if at any moment, this Sixth Stage Emperor Realm could destroy the entire Boundless Sea.

Of course, such peak sixth-tier powerhouses could not enter the Boundless Sea. If they had forced their way in, the rules of the Boundless Sea would have exerted maximum force to suppress them.

In that case, the sixth-tier powerhouse would have been contending with the entire realm, constantly facing resistance, leaving them with little power remaining.

A Sixth Stage Emperor Realm controlled an entire rule.

Even for a realm, even a lower realm like this, it was a fusion of various complete rules. A Sixth Stage Emperor Realm could not break the entire realm with their individual strength alone.

Even a weakened realm was the same.

At most, it would have torn apart the outer layer of the realm’s space, which would have appeared intimidating but did not cause significant damage to the realm itself. The realm could have fully recovered.

To conquer a realm, the best method was to send fourth-tier subordinates in, particularly targeting a declining realm like the Boundless Sea.

Otherwise, if it had been a normal realm, extracting the origin would have been much more challenging and less straightforward than merely conquering it.

However, Chen Fei could not shake a strange feeling that had arisen in his heart as he had stared at the eye for too long.

“More of those Ice Race people!” Duan Suizhi’s brow had furrowed, a hint of disgust in his eyes.

Chen Fei did not answer, but he searched through Yan Ming’an’s shallow memories in his mind.

The Ice Race resided in a place adjacent to the human realm, with Sky Sea City being the neighboring area.

The Ice Race’s strength was slightly weaker compared to the humans.

It was not that they lacked Sixth Stage Emperor Realms, but their number of Emperor-tier beings was two fewer than that of the humans.

When a race lacked seventh-tier powerhouses to suppress fate, the number of Sixth Stage Emperor Realms became the most important indicator of a race’s strength.

Since the humans were slightly stronger than the Ice Race, they naturally occupied a larger territory and had more resources.

Moreover, unlike the industrious humans, the Ice Race, true to their nature, preferred tranquility and inactivity, and were reluctant to engage in tasks such as cultivating spiritual materials.

Most of the renewable celestial and earthly treasures among the Ice Race were not grown by the Ice Race themselves but by enslaved weaker races.

Humans, with their balanced abilities, did not have particularly special talents in cultivating spiritual materials.

Unlike some special races that could directly promote the growth of spiritual materials to accelerate their development, human cultivation of spiritual materials typically proceeded at a normal rate, one year per year.

Unless using divine powers for cultivation, which was merely an exception.

Nevertheless, humans had a continuous supply of spiritual materials for their own cultivation, unlike the Ice Race, which often had to scavenge for resources due to shortages.

As Sky Sea City, which bordered the Ice Race’s domain, had been frequently disturbed over the years.

Although these disturbances did not result in significant losses, they were a major nuisance, especially in the outskirts of Sky Sea City.

“Yu Zhonggong, although your illusion techniques are remarkable, they do have some flaws. If you truly want the origin of this realm, you should send your real body here.”

The spatial passage rippled, and a figure slowly emerged, looking up at the eye in the sky.

Hearing the tremors within the Boundless Sea, both Nie Shengyun and other Sun Moon Realm experts from Sky Sea City, including Duan Suizhi and Chen Fei, had all bowed respectfully toward the spatial passage.

The visitor was none other than the City Lord of Sky Sea City, Dao Yuefeng, a Sixth Stage Emperor Realm.

However, what had arrived was not Dao Yuefeng’s real body, nor even a true avatar, but a temporary body formed from fragments of his divine soul.

By the sixth-tier Sixth Stage Rule Integration Realm, few had the ability to create avatars.

It was not that such techniques did not exist, but all sixth-tier powerhouses tended to avoid using avatars.

Unless the rules they wielded were related to their avatars, it was a different matter.

At the sixth-tier level, controlling rules meant that if an avatar was captured by an enemy, it could easily be studied or even used to break the rules the Emperor controlled.

Even at the fifth-tier Sun Moon Realm, many had ceased to create avatars because numerous divine techniques could reverse-engineer one’s true self from the avatar.

Both divine techniques and rules were the most important secrets of a cultivator.

Others might know what divine techniques or rules you used, but you could not let them know the details, or they might exploit them.

The same divine technique or rule can vary greatly in details among different cultivators.

“Hahaha, Dao Yuefeng, you fell for it. You think I’m an illusion, but this is indeed my real body!”

Yu Zhonggong suddenly burst into loud laughter, causing the sky of the Boundless Sea to tremble violently.

In the next moment, as if glass were shattering, countless space fissures, miles wide and seemingly endless in length, appeared throughout the sky of the Boundless Sea.

A sense of apocalyptic dread filled the hearts of everyone in the Boundless Sea, as if the realm might shatter at any moment.

Chen Fei’s body tensed slightly. Normally, a Sixth Stage Emperor Realm should not be able to enter a lower realm.

But this was based on what he had seen in the records; the real situation was uncertain.

What if there was some treasure that allowed a Sixth Stage Emperor Realm to enter a lower realm?

If the situation worsened, Chen Fei planned to tear through space and head to the Corpse Cliff Mountain.

Even if that place had other dangers, it was preferable to facing a Sixth Stage Emperor Realm.

Dao Yuefeng watched the changes in the Boundless Sea with calm indifference, even as the rules of the Boundless Sea emitted sounds like steel being torn apart. He remained unmoved.

Ban Yuanfu and the other Ice Race Sun Moon Realm experts charged toward Nie Shengyun with wild laughter.

Nie Shengyun, though solemn, did not retreat and met them head-on.

The Sun Moon Realm experts from several Sacred Lands and the Monster Kings also closely followed.

In the Return to Nothing Realm, the human race and the monster race were allied. Thus, the Monster Kings of the Boundless Sea would follow the spatial passage to Sky Sea City.

However, the human race was only allied with ordinary demons. The divine beasts and many special monsters looked down on the human race’s strength.

Duan Suizhi and Chen Fei also flew toward the Ice Race.

At this moment, Chen Fei could not simply turn and run. The Dragon Elephant Stone Stele was only a last resort; if given the chance, he would still prefer to leave through the spatial passage of Sky Sea City.

Seeing that the danger sense from the Immortal Divine Body had not reached its peak, Chen Fei knew that even if he charged ahead, he would not die immediately.

Moreover, even in the worst-case scenario, if he was struck dead by a Sixth Stage Emperor Realm, he would still have one chance to revive.

“Yu Zhonggong, I mentioned earlier that your illusion technique has flaws. If you truly want to lure me to this realm, you should have invested more.”

Dao Yuefeng’s calm voice resonated, and then he turned and entered the spatial passage.

The numerous space fissures in the sky of the Boundless Sea momentarily paused, then began to close rather than spread further.

The eye outside the realm, which had been watching Sky Sea City’s spatial passage, did not speak. With a cold snort, the eye disappeared.

Not only did the eye vanish, but Ban Yuanfu and the other Ice Race members also disappeared.

It had all been an illusion that fooled everyone in the Boundless Sea but did not deceive Dao Yuefeng.

Yu Zhonggong’s attempt to lure Dao Yuefeng out of the Boundless Sea realm had failed.

Chen Fei and Duan Suizhi halted in mid-air.
