Cultivation: Start From Simplifying Martial Arts Techniques

Chapter 880: Limits

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

In the Nirvana Fire, Bloodwing Divine Phoenix wore a solemn expression.

Chen Fei’s performance, defeating ten opponents single-handedly, greatly boosted the confidence and morale of their side. Bloodwing Divine Phoenix volunteered to be the first to enter the arena.

Unlike Chen Fei, who had managed to slaughter ten opponents, Bloodwing Divine Phoenix only hoped to secure two or three victories.

As soon as Bloodwing Divine Phoenix entered the arena, it encountered She Mingchuan from Shadow Island.

The Nirvana Fire spread across most of the battlefield, enveloping She Mingchuan. This level of Nirvana Fire was the most comfortable for Bloodwing Divine Phoenix.

It caused no burden and even allowed the Nirvana Fire to nourish its own body by burning the world’s essence.

However, She Mingchuan managed to resist the Nirvana Fire and even struck a spatial rift with a single sword strike.

For a moment, Bloodwing Divine Phoenix felt a sense of deja vu, reminiscent of facing Chen Fei.

While creating a spatial rift in the mid-stage of the fourth rank was relatively challenging, doing so in the late stage of the fourth rank was significantly easier.

Yet, this didn’t mean that every late-stage fourth-rank practitioner could accomplish this; sometimes even a peak fourth-rank with relatively mediocre strength might struggle.

She Mingchuan, however, effortlessly tore apart the space with a single sword strike.

Bloodwing Divine Phoenix proactively narrowed the range of Nirvana Fire and increased their intensity.

On the battlefield, the space burned and wrinkled, but She Mingchuan stood there calmly, his cold sword intent sweeping through the Nirvana Fire, continuously searching for the true form of Bloodwing Divine Phoenix.

“I have killed many monsters with Divine Monster Bloodlines, but never one as truly divine as you.”

She Mingchuan’s protective sword essence isolated the Nirvana Fire. His eyes suddenly fixed on a location, and his mouth curled into a slight smile as he said, ” I hope you won’ t disappoint me!”

As soon as his words fell, She Mingchuan vanished from sight.

Like a sharp sword cutting through space, he left a trail in the Nirvana Fire.

She Mingchuan reappeared, his transparent sword piercing directly into the Nirvana Fire.

“Boom!”

Where the transparent sword passed, the space shattered into a hollow, and the surrounding Nirvana Fire were violently devoured.

She Mingchuan’s gaze shifted as he withdrew his sword and slashed again in the right direction.

“Whoosh!”

Within the Nirvana Fire, the figure of Bloodwing Divine Phoenix flickered briefly.

Bloodwing Divine Phoenix was unharmed but felt as though it was being hunted by She Mingchuan.

In theory, every spot within the Nirvana Fire could be the true form of Bloodwing Divine Phoenix, and it could appear anywhere at will.

However, in practice, the true form of the phoenix had a specific location within the Nirvana Fire.

While most of the same rank would have difficulty locating the phoenix in the flames, She Mingchuan could. At this moment, he followed the faint traces of the world’s essence to find Bloodwing Divine Phoenix’s true form.

Chen Fei watched from the sidelines as She Mingchuan casually swung his sword, causing the entire Nirvana Fire to shake violently.

It was still too early to determine the outcome, but if Bloodwing Divine Phoenix couldn’t find a way to counter She Mingchuan, the current disadvantage might turn into a complete defeat.

Regaining ground later would not be so easy.

However, it must be said that She Mingchuan’s sword intent was indeed overwhelming.

The phoenix, being a divine beast, was very balanced in all aspects—attack, defense, and movement—all positioned at a high level among its peers.

Without any obvious weaknesses, its combined strengths could unleash immense power.

In terms of defense, She Mingchuan could not match Bloodwing Divine Phoenix, but his astonishing attack power and keen insight were formidable.

Finding the phoenix’s true form in the Nirvana Fire was something that ordinary peak fourth-rank practitioners might not be able to do.

As Chen Fei focused on the battle while also dividing his attention to the jade slips, he reflected on the method of using his innate talent to forge a Divine Power seed.

Once the talent was used up in this process, it would vanish, but if he truly broke through to the Sun Moon Realm, the innate talent’s initial enhancement would be permanently etched into his body.

However, this enhancement would become a fixed value and would no longer grow with increased base strength.

This wasn’t a sign of weakened talent, but rather that the power growth in the Sun Moon Realm was so significant that the innate talent could no longer provide substantial benefits.

Just like a martial artist with innate divine strength, their advantage is significant in the early stages but becomes limited as their strength grows.

The same applied to innate talent in the Mountain Sea Realm, which is why the Sun Moon Realm’s divine abilities were created.

Predecessors developed this realm upon realizing that their strength had reached a plateau and needed another method to continue enhancing their power.

“The fixed enhancement from innate talent means that the Six Desires Demonic Separation is still useful.”

Chen Fei knew that breaking through the Sun Moon Realm required refining one’s essence, qi, spirit, and soul to their peak, and then breaking through the constraints. The Six Desires Demonic Separation, devouring one’s six Demonic Bodies, would enhance these aspects to an extraordinary level.

As long as there were no major setbacks, breaking through to the Sun Moon Realm would be relatively smooth.

Using innate talent to forge the Divine Power seed had changed the method, but the Six Desires Demonic Separation’s effectiveness remained because it could slightly enhance innate talent in addition to boosting essence, energy, spirit, and soul.
