Cultivation: Start From Simplifying Martial Arts Techniques

Chapter 362: Total Destruction

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

If Liang Zhongpu’s Sea-Sealing Sword displayed the momentum of a vast sea just now, then Chen Fei’s sword formation truly possessed the awe-inspiring power of a mountain.

One was merely symbolic, while the other was a real, immense force. The gap between the two sides was evident.

“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!”

Within the sword formation, eighty-one sword pearls soared into the sky, the Zhongyuan Sword of Great Completion and the Giant Spirit Sword of Great Completion merged as one, possessing an exceedingly exaggerated level of power.

At the middle stage of the Aperture tempering realm, possessing such a degree of comprehension of this cultivation could be said to place Chen Fei’s strength at the pinnacle of the middle stage of the Aperture tempering realm.

Hong Yuanfeng practiced a top-tier cultivation, the Tianyue Sword, which, when cultivated to its peak, could open up a hundred acupoints. Although it hadn’t reached the level of a hundred and eight acupoints, it had already far surpassed the eighty acupoints of the Zhongyuan Sword.

However, Hong Yuanfeng hadn’t comprehended the Tianyue Sword to the Great Completion level. If he had, even the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect would have to push him up to the late stage of the Aperture tempering realm.

If one’s comprehension of the cultivation wasn’t sufficient, even with enough mental power, it was challenging to break through the barrier between the middle and late stages of the Aperture tempering realm. Insisting on breaking through might even cause self-injury.

Hong Yuanfeng’s level of comprehension of the Tianyue Sword had always been lacking that last bit of refinement, and he could only rely on time to gradually gain insight. This was also the method of practice for most Aperture tempering realm cultivators.

Otherwise, if one really relied on this level of cultivation comprehension to fortuitously break through to the late Aperture tempering realm, they would undoubtedly be the weakest in the late Aperture tempering realm.

And forcing growth could also harm the foundation, which wasn’t worth it!

At this moment, Hong Yuanfeng sensed the tremendous power contained within those sword pearls, and his expression had changed somewhat.

Hong Yuanfeng’s knowledge was undoubtedly much greater than that of an ordinary Aperture tempering realm cultivator. Therefore, even before coming into contact with these sword pearls, Hong Yuanfeng felt a huge threat.

Breaking through to the middle stage of the Aperture tempering realm in just three years, how was it possible to cultivate a cultivation to such a degree? This was even more baffling than Chen Fei reaching the middle stage of the Aperture tempering realm.

It was possible to break through to the middle stage of the Aperture tempering realm in three years with the help of some extraordinary treasures, especially considering that Chen Fei had been to that mysterious place and that Bizarre city. It was conceivable that he had obtained some treasures by chance, leading to an accidental breakthrough.

However, the level of comprehension of this cultivation was truly incomprehensible. Even with exceptional talent, one shouldn’t have such an exaggerated cultivation accomplishment.

The Primordial Sword Sect’s cultivations opened up only a few acupoints, but it was still a cultivation that could be cultivated to the late Aperture tempering realm. If it were so easy to comprehend, the Primordial Sword Sect would have been full of late Aperture tempering realm cultivators long ago.

“Hum!”

The eighty-one sword pearls trembled, and in the next instant, they seemed like eighty-one top-notch swordsmen, each using different sword techniques, converging to attack Liang Zhongpu and Hong Yuanfeng.

Sensing the aura, Liang Zhongpu’s face darkened, and he deployed the Sea-Sealing Sword, enveloping both himself and Hong Yuanfeng within it.

Hong Yuanfeng’s aura continued to rise, and behind him, it appeared as though a mountain had emerged, standing firm like a towering peak. The mighty power caused the surrounding spiritual energy to tremble.

Liang Zhongpu and Hong Yuanfeng both sensed that something was amiss. Although it was their first time cooperating, they immediately made the right moves. One took the main defensive role, and the other took the main offensive role to completely tear apart the sword formation.

In this way, they would have a chance to choose whether to leave or stay later on, rather than being trapped in the sword formation like they were now, unable to move.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

The eighty-one sword pearls struck Liang Zhongpu’s sword blade, causing his aura to tremble, and blood even spilled from the corners of his mouth.

The power was too overwhelming. Although Liang Zhongpu had prepared himself mentally beforehand, after this round of attacks from the sword pearls, he realized the gap between the two sides.

If it weren’t for Hong Yuanfeng by his side, Liang Zhongpu probably would have begged for mercy by now. There was simply no room for a fight. After a few more rounds, the immense power within the sword pearls would directly crush him to death.

In the face of this level of power, the Sea-Sealing Sword seemed like a joke. Liang Zhongpu finally understood how his junior brother, Ji Zhuowen, had died.

Facing someone like Chen Fei one-on-one, being slain was really just a matter of time, and a very short amount of time at that.

“Open!”

Hong Yuanfeng shouted explosively, and the spiritual sword in his hand seemed to possess the power of mountains and rivers as it cleaved towards the sword formation.

At this moment, most of the power of the sword formation was focused on attacking Liang Zhongpu’s Sea-Sealing Sword. It could be said that the sword formation was at its weakest state right now.

“Boom!”

With a deafening roar, ripples spread within the sword formation. At some point, Chen Fei appeared within the sword formation and intercepted Hong Yuanfeng’s Tianyue Sword with a single strike.

The power contained in the Tianyue Sword was indeed immense, as it was the pinnacle inheritance of the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect. However, Chen Fei’s sword interception showed no signs of wavering.

The Tianyue Sword was strong, but the support provided by the Suppressing Dragon Elephant technique was even stronger.

Both were at the middle stage of the Aperture tempering realm, with the power of thirty-six acupoints at their disposal. What they were really competing with was how well their techniques complemented their own strengths. Undoubtedly, the Suppressing Dragon Elephant technique’s enhancement was much greater.

Hong Yuanfeng’s spiritual sword was rebounded by the tremendous force, involuntarily lifted, and a surge of power flowed into his body along with his weapon.

It felt as if he was being crushed by countless giants. Since he started practicing the Tianyue Sword, this was the first time Hong Yuanfeng had felt such an exaggerated physical power from an opponent of the same level.

When did the Primordial Sword Sect possess a body-enhancing technique like this? Primordial Sword Body? But the Primordial Sword Body had long been damaged, and the Primordial Sword Sect had no way to cultivate it.

Moreover, with the mastery Chen Fei had achieved in the Zhongyuan Sword and Giant Spirit Sword techniques, why did he have no weaknesses in his physical form? What had Chen Fei been practicing for the past three years?

Countless thoughts flashed through Hong Yuanfeng’s mind, but before he could make sense of it all, Chen Fei had once again raised the Qianyuan Sword.

Forty-one sword pearls flew towards Chen Fei and merged into the Qianyuan Sword. The sword threads on the Qianyuan Sword shimmered, and the sword continuously trembled. Within its spiritual nature, there was a sense of excitement.

The immense power excited the spiritual sword, causing it to involuntarily radiate even greater strength. The power currently possessed by the Qianyuan Sword was unlike anything it had ever experienced before.

The edge of the Qianyuan Sword moved downward, causing the air along its path to violently tremble. It emitted a roaring sound that was both terrifying and soul-stirring.

Hong Yuanfeng’s expression had completely changed, and a sense of death began to envelop all his thoughts. This power was unstoppable, and in its face, he was bound to die!

At the thought of death, Hong Yuanfeng’s pupils were instantly filled with bloodshot veins.

He was an elder of the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect, above ten thousand others. How could he die here, at the hands of an ant he could have easily crushed back then?

Back then, he should have spared no effort to kill Chen Fei. If he had, he wouldn’t be facing this disaster today.

Chen Fei deserved to die, and so did everyone in the Primordial Sword Sect. All those who had opposed him in the past deserved to die!

Die, die, die!

The virtual mountain shadow behind Hong Yuanfeng began to crumble, and an extremely powerful force emanated from the cracks. Bursting one’s acupoints—this was the desperate method used by nearly all Aperture tempering realm cultivators.

And within the Tianyue Sword, there was a technique that took it to the extreme, completely releasing this power.

Shattering Mountain Style!

Dismantling oneself while dismantling the enemy, annihilating the enemy!

Swoosh!

The elemental energy within Hong Yuanfeng’s body roared like a surging river, producing a tumultuous sound. As the Shattering Mountain Style was executed, his acupoints began to shatter one by one.

With each acupoint shattering, it brought a force akin to an avalanche and tsunami. In the blink of an eye, Hong Yuanfeng’s aura soared to its peak.

In that moment, it seemed as though Hong Yuanfeng had become a formidable late-stage aperture tempering realm cultivator. Every move he made exuded a formidable pressure that left one’s soul trembling.

Chen Fei’s eyebrows raised slightly. Indeed, Hong Yuanfeng’s current aura had reached the level of a late-stage aperture tempering realm cultivator. It was not an illusion; the shattering of Hong Yuanfeng’s acupoints had unleashed an ultimate power.

“You want to kill me? I’ll make you die first!”

Hong Yuanfeng’s visage, twisted in extreme agony due to the acupoint ruptures, appeared extremely ferocious. His eyes were bloodshot, and the hatred within them seemed as if he wanted to flay Chen Fei alive and strip his bones to ease his boundless anger.

No, Hong Yuanfeng wanted to shatter every bone in Chen Fei’s body. He wanted to torment Chen Fei, for only through such torment could he alleviate the boundless fury within his heart.

With all his acupoints shattered, not even the Origin Awakening Pill of the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect could help. In this battle, even if Hong Yuanfeng emerged victorious, his cultivation would be irreversibly crippled, rendering him a cripple.

For the rest of his life, he would have no chance of reaching the Aperture tempering realm again.

Transforming from a lofty elder of the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect to a cripple, how could Hong Yuanfeng willingly accept this fate? How could he ever soothe the profound bitterness in his heart?

He wanted to torment Chen Fei, to torment him to the point where he would beg for death but could not have it. He wanted Chen Fei to understand the consequences of offending him.

“Hum!”

Hong Yuanfeng swung his sword, releasing a terrifying force that rippled through the surroundings, showcasing the power of a late-stage aperture tempering realm cultivator. The Shattering Mountain Style, a technique specifically designed for mutual destruction, displayed its pinnacle heritage and profound essence.

Chen Fei narrowed his eyes as the forty sword pearls that had entrapped Liang Zhongpu merged into the Qianyuan Sword, which emitted an extreme black radiance.

The Zhongyuan Sword, Giant Spirit Sword, Suppressing Dragon Elephant Technique, Thousand Threads Technique, and the Slaughter Spirit Technique!

The immense force of surging waves enveloped Chen Fei completely!

Godslayer Sword!

An illusory sword light flashed across Chen Fei’s eyes, slashing directly at Hong Yuanfeng’s spiritual sea.

Under the influence of the Shattering Mountain Style, Hong Yuanfeng’s spiritual power surged and expanded. Ordinary spiritual techniques were utterly helpless against him at this moment.

However, the Godslayer Sword, enhanced by the Slaughter Spirit Technique, still managed to create a tiny hole in Hong Yuanfeng’s spiritual consciousness.

This spiritual injury was not severe, but it caused a slight pause in the turbulent elemental energy within Hong Yuanfeng’s body. This momentary pause was fleeting but instantly detected by Chen Fei.

In the next instant, the Qianyuan Sword clashed with Hong Yuanfeng’s spirit sword.

“Boom!”

The violent force tore the sword formation apart, and countless sword essences surged, completely engulfing Chen Fei’s figure. Hong Yuanfeng’s body swayed slightly, and he involuntarily took a few steps back, falling to the ground.

However, Hong Yuanfeng’s eyes were fixed firmly on the front. He didn’t want Chen Fei to die just like that. If he died, where would he find someone to torment?

Liang Zhongpu’s eyes were filled with the joy of a narrow escape. He didn’t have to die, and he had suffered minimal losses.

As the howling wind subsided, the sword essence gradually dissipated, revealing Chen Fei standing with his sword.

His skin was torn open, blood flowed freely, and Chen Fei’s body was covered in numerous wounds caused by the Shattering Mountain Style. Many of these wounds pierced through bones, organs, and even had injuries that ran from front to back.

For an ordinary person, facing such injuries would be certain death. Even for an aperture tempering realm cultivator, these wounds would be considered severe, rendering them almost powerless in battle.

“Your life, is quite resilient!” Hong Yuanfeng mocked loudly. He was delighted that Chen Fei had survived. With these injuries, Chen Fei would be no match for the nearly unscathed Liang Zhongpu.

The outcome was already decided!

“Good sword technique!” Chen Fei looked up at Hong Yuanfeng, a hint of a smile on his lips. He said, “Just as a person, you’re a little lacking!”

“Arguing with you is pointless,” Hong Yuanfeng retorted.

Liang Zhongpu took a step forward, ready to capture Chen Fei, but suddenly noticed that the wounds on Chen Fei’s body were healing at an astonishing speed, and Chen Fei’s weakening aura was rapidly increasing.

Liang Zhongpu’s eyes widened involuntarily, and he hesitated in his footsteps.

On the other side, Hong Yuanfeng, who had a sinister smile on his face, froze in place..
