Cultivation: Start From Simplifying Martial Arts Techniques

Chapter 956: Is This Power Enough?

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

A typical observer would be unable to see Kuang Xingfeng’s presence at this moment, especially Chen Fei, as all the power within the illusion was directed towards him.

Yet, Chen Fei managed to find him. After Kuang Xingfeng unleashed his full power, Chen Fei was able to detect him.

The blade of the Eternal Night Sword appeared tiny, like a matchstick, beneath the Sky Arm’s massive palm. However, upon impact, the Eternal Night Sword did not break; instead, it cut into the Sky Arm.

“Boom!”

The entire Sky Arm was severed by the Eternal Night Sword, but it did not vanish. Instead, it exploded violently, causing the advancing form of the Eternal Night Manifestation to be forcibly halted.

A blurry phantom appeared in the sky, frowning as it observed the Eternal Night Manifestation, or more precisely, Chen Fei.

Sensing something, Chen Fei lifted his gaze slightly, meeting Kuang Xingfeng’s eyes.

Kuang Xingfeng’s eyes narrowed. His figure was not concealed within the Sky Arm but was instead suspended in mid-air.

Under normal circumstances, even if the Sky Arm were broken, Kuang Xingfeng’s figure would not have appeared.

However, the position where the Eternal Night Sword cut was exactly a node within the illusion.

If not for this, the Sky Arm’s power would not have reached its peak.

But breaking this node caused a slight disruption in the illusion’s power, leading to the explosion and the appearance of Kuang Xingfeng’s form.

The node should not have been discovered so easily.

As long as the node was not struck directly, even if the Sky Arm was shattered and exploded, nothing would have happened, and Kuang Xingfeng’s figure would not have been forced out.

Yet, Chen Fei seemed to have seen through everything.

“Such immense power. Let me see just how great your power can be!”

Kuang Xingfeng snorted coldly, extending his right hand downward slowly.

Suddenly, a massive vortex appeared in the sky, and then a giant palm emerged. Compared to the previous hand, this one seemed even more formidable in size and power.

Immediately after, another giant palm reached out from the side, almost identical to the first, also targeting Chen Fei.

Before it ended, a third Sky Arm appeared in the sky, pressing down on Chen Fei.

The three giant palms covered the entire sky, casting an eerie darkness. The terrifying pressure bore down on the Eternal Night Manifestation, restricting its movements.

“As you wish!”

Chen Fei chuckled softly. The Pillar Mountain behind the Eternal Night Manifestation suddenly trembled, with countless thunderclaps echoing as the mountain split in two and then collapsed.

Divine Dissolution!

Terrifying power surged from Pillar Mountain into the Eternal Night Manifestation, deepening its form. The Eternal Night Sword in its hand began to emit a bluish-purple light.

Outside the battle zone, Hua Zhicun watched Chen Fei’s current state with fluctuating eyes.

Yesterday, when Chen Fei displayed his aura, Hua Zhicun had thought that even if it wasn’t Chen Fei’s strongest power, it was likely close to it.

Now, seeing Chen Fei’s current state, Hua Zhicun realized that Chen Fei still had hidden trump cards, and their power was shockingly immense.

Under this power, even a late-stage Sun Moon Realm practitioner would be taken out by a single strike.

Even the top practitioners in the late stages of the Sun Moon Realm would find the best option to be a hasty retreat in the face of such power.

Only those in the top ten of the late-stage Sun Moon Realm across all divisions could face this power without fear.

Yet, Chen Fei was only at the mid-stage of the Sun Moon Realm, and still far from its peak. It was hard to imagine what would happen as Chen Fei continued to cultivate and grow.

Hua Zhicun could see Chen Fei’s terror, and so could other Sun Moon Realm practitioners.

Especially those who had bet on Kuang Xingfeng’s victory now had a foreboding feeling, as if they were about to lose again!

Ignoring the surrounding pressure, Chen Fei soared into the sky, heading straight for Kuang Xingfeng.

The three giant palms in the sky formed fist marks, with faint roars of dragons and tigers echoing through the heavens and earth.

Kuang Xingfeng’s gaze was fixed on Chen Fei. Others sensed the tremendous change in Chen Fei’s aura, and Kuang Xingfeng could not have missed it.

Kuang Xingfeng suddenly let out a low shout, his face turning ashen. Three more giant palms emerged in the sky, forming a net with the original three palms, completely enclosing the Eternal Night Manifestation.

Chen Fei looked at the overwhelming palm imprints and swung the Qianyuan Sword forward.

The Eternal Night Sword transformed into a streak of black light, clashing with the first palm.

“Vroom!”

The sound was almost imperceptible, and before the sound could even spread, everyone saw the first Sky Arm tremble violently.

Starting from the point of collision, it was shattered by the Eternal Night Sword, cut through, and then split in two.

The seemingly indestructible giant palm appeared surprisingly fragile.

However, everyone knew that it was not that the Sky Arm was weak, but rather that the Eternal Night Sword was so strong that the Sky Arm had no resistance left.

The Eternal Night Sword carved a black streak through the sky. The five incoming Sky Arms trembled violently, paused in mid-air, and then silently cracked and shattered.

Looking at Kuang Xingfeng, his already pale face turned waxy yellow, blood trickling from the corners of his mouth, and his aura significantly diminished.

The full-powered Sky Arms were thus sliced apart, causing a backlash directly affecting Kuang Xingfeng.

The reason for not being heavily injured on the spot was that the entire illusion absorbed most of the damage for Kuang Xingfeng.

“Is this enough power?”

Chen Fei looked up at Kuang Xingfeng, his form flashing as he charged forward.

Kuang Xingfeng’s pupils contracted slightly. He took a step back, his figure becoming blurry before disappearing.

In a direct confrontation, Kuang Xingfeng fell into a disadvantage. Even with the Heavenly Illusion Time Severing Technique at its peak, the illusionary power still couldn’t match Chen Fei.

However, Kuang Xingfeng did not directly concede. If a direct clash was ineffective, he could use other methods.

The Heavenly Illusion Time Severing Technique was not known for direct attacks. As long as Chen Fei didn’t catch his true form, Kuang Xingfeng still had a chance.

Moreover, the Heavenly Illusion Time Severing Technique involved some subtle aspects of time rules, which was also very effective in speeding up healing.

Though Kuang Xingfeng appeared heavily injured, he could recover significantly in a short while and might even repeat the same attack.

But it would not be a direct clash; he would use other methods.

Outside the battle zone, everyone watched Chen Fei with amazement.

Such power meant that Kuang Xingfeng could not withstand even one round at Chen Fei’s hands.

However, it was a pity that Chen Fei was currently in an illusion, and the battle’s outcome was entirely at Kuang Xingfeng’s discretion.

In this regard, Chen Fei seemed to be at a disadvantage.

Moreover, everyone could see that Chen Fei had indeed used a forbidden technique, as his aura was fluctuating.

Although the fluctuation was not great, it was noticeably different from the previously stable power.

This meant that Chen Fei’s current power could not be sustained, and once the forbidden technique wore off, the outcome of the match might change.

Within the battle zone, Chen Fei looked at the spot where Kuang Xingfeng had disappeared. His body slightly adjusted its direction in mid-air before the Eternal Night Sword slashed out again.

“Vroom!”

The Eternal Night Sword’s blade left a trail of enormous force and a muffled sound, creating ripples along the blade.

However, after this slash, Kuang Xingfeng did not appear. It was as if Chen Fei had misjudged.

Chen Fei remained calm, moving the Eternal Night Manifestation back several miles before slashing out again.

Yet, besides the ominous hum of the sword cutting through the sky, there were no other changes.

Other practitioners of the Sun Moon Realm looked at Chen Fei with bewilderment, unsure of what he was doing. Only those at the pinnacle of the Sun Moon Realm showed subtle movements in their expressions, their eyes reflecting surprise.

With Chen Fei’s last two strikes, the previously smooth and invisible illusion was forced to reveal many traces.

These traces destabilized the entire illusion, causing the hidden figure of Kuang Xingfeng to start showing signs of exposure.

Chen Fei instantly disappeared from his position, reappearing several dozen miles away, and the Eternal Night Sword struck again.

“Clang!”

This time, there was no emptiness beneath the Eternal Night Sword. A figure appeared in front of it, clashing with the blade.

“Pfft!”

Kuang Xingfeng spat out a mouthful of blood, nearly losing grip on the Abyss Sword, which was almost sent flying.

Even though he managed to block the blow and the immense power of the Eternal Night Sword was absorbed by the illusion, the remaining force still inflicted severe injuries on Kuang Xingfeng.

With seventy percent of the Soul Dissolution and the Pillar Mountain’s divine power, Chen Fei’s strength was beyond the reach of a normal late-stage Sun Moon Realm practitioner.

When the illusion could no longer deceive Chen Fei and they were forced into a direct confrontation, Kuang Xingfeng could not withstand such terrifying power.

Kuang Xingfeng’s figure became blurry as he tried to retreat into the illusion again. He knew that if he took another blow from Chen Fei, he would fall into a near-death state.

As long as he could drag out the fight until Chen Fei’s forbidden technique wore off, he still had a chance at victory!

Chen Fei took a step forward, his enormous Eternal Night Manifestation foot imprint spreading ripples in mid-air, causing a massive disturbance throughout the illusion.

Kuang Xingfeng’s figure, which was about to merge back into the illusion, was forcibly pulled out again.

Kuang Xingfeng stared at Chen Fei in disbelief. How could his illusion be seen through to such an extent by Chen Fei? This was even harder to accept than being forced out and wounded by Chen Fei’s three strikes.

In the illusion he had created, he should have been the true master!

Chen Fei met Kuang Xingfeng’s gaze and swung the Qianyuan Sword.

With the Indestructible Vision not merging into the illusion and the Desolate Slaughter Night Star Sword used to probe the illusion, especially when Kuang Xingfeng was pushing his power to the limit, Chen Fei could see the fundamental operation rules of the illusion.

With this knowledge, finding Kuang Xingfeng’s true form and briefly forcing him out of the illusion was not a significant problem.

The enormous Eternal Night Sword, carrying terrifying power, arrived before Kuang Xingfeng.

With no time to evade, Kuang Xingfeng let out a roar. His already burning soul ignited even more fiercely, consuming not only his soul but also his flesh.

In an instant, Kuang Xingfeng was reduced to little more than skin and bones, but the Abyss Sword in his hand erupted with astonishing power, meeting the Eternal Night Sword.

“Vroom!”

A ripple spread out, and the entire illusion was torn in two by the force of the ripple.

Beneath the Abyss Sword, Kuang Xingfeng’s expression was extremely ferocious; he was unwilling to lose!

Chen Fei looked at Kuang Xingfeng under the Eternal Night Sword as the Pillar Mountain behind him completely collapsed into void.

This was a complete dissolution of divine powers, but it had little effect on Chen Fei, who would be unable to dissolve Pillar Mountain again for at most a day or two.

However, for Kuang Xingfeng, the impact was immense.

The power of the Eternal Night Sword surged dramatically. The Abyss Sword quivered and then abruptly reversed, slamming into Kuang Xingfeng’s body.

Before Kuang Xingfeng could react, his chest was shattered, and his organs turned into blood mist, which was immediately torn apart by the violent force.

“Bang!”

Kuang Xingfeng’s mangled body crashed to the ground, his gaze blankly fixed on Chen Fei before he fell into unconsciousness.

A golden light descended from the sky, landing on Kuang Xingfeng, stabilizing his injuries and quickly beginning the healing process.

“The winner is Chen Fei from Sky Sea Branch!”

A booming voice echoed, drawing everyone’s gaze inevitably towards Chen Fei.
