Tan Bingxiu and Si Huayuan widened their eyes as they watched this scene unfold. They wanted to intervene, but they were too late. Chen Fei’s relentless three moves broke through the defense they had collectively put up.

At this moment, their bodies were still numb, only able to watch helplessly as Si Huayuan was slain.

“Go!”

Tan Bingxiu angrily shouted, opening the gates of the Fallen Heaven Pavilion and flying straight away.

With the defenses of all three broken, now only two remained. Despite not wanting to admit it, Tan Bingxiu understood they had lost, and lost completely.

Although Chen Fei’s physical body couldn’t withstand the power of the Seven Forbidden Techniques at this moment, showing signs of injury and fluctuating breath, he wasn’t at his peak state.

However, he still couldn’t be defeated. Chen Fei’s appearance, at most, could be considered minor injuries. Furthermore, Tan Bingxiu observed that the necrotic flesh was rapidly recovering at this moment.

Despite the intense conflict between recovery and destruction within his body due to the overwhelming power, overall, Chen Fei’s injuries were improving.

With this kind of power coupled with such rapid recovery, this battle was unwinnable from the start. They should have exhausted Chen Fei’s power from the beginning, seizing the opportunity to forcefully move him out while he was distracted.

But at that moment, Chen Fei’s power had reached such a level that even if they had wanted to forcefully move him out, it would have been impossible.

The power of the Mysterious realm also had its limits, and at that moment, Chen Fei had exceeded the limit of its displacement.

Upon hearing Tan Bingxiu’s words, Guo Xuanji didn’t hesitate at all. He quickly followed Tan Bingxiu’s footsteps, and their figures began to fade, guided away by the gates of the Fallen Heaven Pavilion.

“It wasn’t over yet, why were they rushing like this!”

Chen Fei’s third eye between his eyebrows had covered the two figures, and in his black-and-white vision, the gates of the Fallen Heaven Pavilion hidden in the void were clearly visible. In the next moment, Chen Fei’s sword energy had swept through the void like a towering giant sword.

“Buzz!”

The gates of the Fallen Heaven Pavilion had trembled violently, and the guiding force had instantly weakened. Tan Bingxiu, being in the front, had not been greatly affected by the impact.

However, Guo Xuanji, who had been behind, had felt his speed slowing down as the guiding force weakened.

This slowdown had been extremely slight, but in the clash of strong opponents, sometimes victory had hinged on such a fine line.

With the Heavenly Eye bestowed upon him, Chen Fei’s mastery of timing had far surpassed that of other peak Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators.

Chen Fei’s figure had seemed to transform into an unparalleled sword, breaking through all obstacles ahead and appearing in front of Guo Xuanji, forcefully blocking his path.

Guo Xuanji’s gaze, upon seeing Chen Fei appear before him, was filled with such terror that it almost overflowed from his eyes.

Never had Guo Xuanji imagined that one day he would feel such fear towards a peak Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivator.

Throughout his life, Guo Xuanji had only revered experts of the Mountain Sea Realm, because the power of the Mountain Sea Realm could determine life and death with just one move, without any room for luck or accidents.

And among peers of the same realm, peak Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators, everyone shared the same level of cultivation, and the profundity of their practiced techniques was almost indistinguishable.

Even the Fallen Heaven Pavilion, once the strongest force in the entire Thousand Feathers Alliance, and its Fallen Heaven Technique, could be said to be second only to those Combined Aperture Tempering realm techniques passed down by Min Yanlu.

Facing other peak Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators, in a one-on-one situation, Guo Xuanji wouldn’t have thought he would lose, let alone be forcibly slain.

But today, just moments ago, Chen Fei’s performance had overturned all of his understanding.

As fellow peak Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators, the power displayed by Chen Fei was so mighty that it made other Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators look up in awe.

Gu Danying, as Min Yanlu’s direct disciple, already possessed astonishing combat prowess. However, compared to Chen Fei, the difference was visible to the naked eye. Even before today, Guo Xuanji couldn’t have imagined that the combat power of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm could reach such heights.

This was unreasonable, and it contradicted the path of martial arts he had witnessed over hundreds of years. Yet, this irrationality persisted right before him.

“Ah!”

Guo Xuanji roared angrily to the sky. He didn’t want to die. The Fallen Heaven Pavilion was on the verge of reaching the Mountain Sea Realm, and he might still have a chance to step into the Mountain Sea Realm in the future.

Dying like this, he refused to accept it!

Three Forbidden Techniques! Four Forbidden Techniques!

Guo Xuanji began to madly unleash Forbidden Techniques. It wasn’t rare to possess Forbidden Techniques; what was rare was how to stack them and use them together without any consequences.

Previously, when he had used two Forbidden Techniques, the violent surge of elemental power had already surpassed the limits of Guo Xuanji’s physical body.

But now, in this life-threatening crisis, Guo Xuanji’s mind was more focused than ever before. The martial principles that had been somewhat vague to him in the past unexpectedly became clear at this moment.

Even Guo Xuanji felt the power of his own soul. Because of the threat of death, he sensed the indomitable power within his own soul.

Five Forbidden Techniques!

In an impossible situation, Guo Xuanji forcibly elevated the number of Forbidden Techniques he wielded to five.

With the majestic power circulating within him, breeding immense confidence, Guo Xuanji stared at Chen Fei and swung his long sword downward.

Guo Xuanji’s soul was burning, and the power belonging to the Mountain Sea Realm was now manifesting within his body.

If Guo Xuanji survived this battle, he wouldn’t need to rely on the Minghe Record in the future. With his own strength, he had a great chance of entering the Mountain Sea Realm.

Between life and death lay great terror, but also great opportunities.

Being able to cultivate to the pinnacle of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, Guo Xuanji’s talent was unquestionable. Back then, he was a figure who overshadowed his peers.

The sixth Forbidden Technique began to brew, and Guo Xuanji’s momentum grew stronger. He wasn’t a fish to be slaughtered at will.

Tan Bingxiu, who was about to enter the gates of the Fallen Heaven Pavilion, sensed Guo Xuanji’s situation behind him and suddenly stopped in his tracks.

With five Forbidden Techniques, and Guo Xuanji actually fully controlling them, perhaps there was still a fight to be had in this battle!

Subconsciously, Tan Bingxiu extended a sword. Under the influence of the formation, this sword appeared beside Guo Xuanji and thrust towards Chen Fei.

Chen Fei sensed Guo Xuanji’s change and couldn’t help but smile. Such unexpected changes!

But the power of the Forbidden Techniques, even if you control it, can you withstand the backlash after you unleash it?

“Boom!”

The severed ruler and the two long swords clashed, creating waves of fluctuations that were no less powerful than the collision moments ago, sweeping outwards. The cracks in the eerie sky became even more apparent.

“Puff!”

Tan Bingxiu’s face turned as pale as wax, instantly severely injured. Without looking back, he rushed towards the gates of the Fallen Heaven Pavilion.

Guo Xuanji, who had been brimming with confidence, suddenly froze. Moments ago, they had shared the burden together, but now he was completely bearing Chen Fei’s power alone. Guo Xuanji realized just how formidable Chen Fei’s power had become.

Was this truly the power attainable beneath the Mountain Sea Realm?

Starting from his arms, Guo Xuanji’s flesh and blood disintegrated inch by inch. Not only the flesh and blood but also the bones within were crumbling.

In the blink of an eye, Guo Xuanji transformed from a living person into a cloud of blood mist.

Not only was he crushed by Chen Fei’s power, but also the impact generated by his own use of the five Forbidden Techniques, combined with the external force, far exceeded Guo Xuanji’s imagination.

Death by disintegration was almost inevitable for Guo Xuanji.

Controlling the five Forbidden Techniques was just an illusion that arose in Guo Xuanji’s mind under the threat of life and death.

Guo Xuanji was too unfamiliar with the power of these Forbidden Techniques, and unfamiliarity could lead to misjudgments.

And in such a battle, a misjudgment sealed the outcome!

Chen Fei looked up at Tan Bingxiu, who had already arrived at the gates of the Fallen Heaven Pavilion. Sensing Chen Fei’s gaze, Tan Bingxiu seemed to feel something and turned to look back at Chen Fei.

In the next moment, Chen Fei suddenly disappeared from Tan Bingxiu’s sight.

Tan Bingxiu’s heart trembled. In his field of vision, all traces of Chen Fei were lost.

This wasn’t a concealment technique. No matter how fast the concealment technique was, as a peak Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivator, Tan Bingxiu could still perceive the traces of flight, just as Chen Fei had suddenly attacked them earlier.

That concealment technique had been as fast as lightning, but Tan Bingxiu and the others had caught it.

But now, Tan Bingxiu suddenly lost all traces of Chen Fei. This anomaly sent shivers down Tan Bingxiu’s spine.

Without any hesitation, Tan Bingxiu stepped into the gates of the Fallen Heaven Pavilion.

For this Chen Fei, Tan Bingxiu had no other choice. The only thing he could do now was to take control of Shen Yuanjun’s body and utilize Shen Yuanjun’s power.

Shen Yuanjun had yet to break through to the Mountain Sea Realm, but his power already far surpassed that of ordinary peak Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators.

Tan Bingxiu believed that with his and Shen Yuanjun’s combined strength, they could definitely kill Chen Fei, and even have a chance to capture him alive after inflicting severe, life-threatening injuries!

After planning for over a hundred years, the inability to break through to the Mountain Sea Realm using Shen Yuanjun’s power was an indescribable regret. The death of his longtime companion and senior brother made Tan Bingxiu’s heartache immeasurably.

But if Chen Fei were to be refined into a new vessel, given his astonishing talent, entering the Mountain Sea Realm would be almost inevitable. Furthermore, even within the Mountain Sea Realm, there would be opportunities to compensate for the shortcomings of the Minghe Record and become a true master of the realm?

As Tan Bingxiu entered the Fallen Heaven Pavilion, he suddenly felt another force forcefully tearing apart the restrictions of the pavilion’s gates. Before Tan Bingxiu could react, he saw a figure landing in front of the altar.

Upon seeing the figure clearly, Tan Bingxiu’s heart sank. It was Chen Fei!

How did he get in? And why was he so much faster than Tan Bingxiu!

“So, this was your plan all along!”

Chen Fei looked at the youthful figure on the altar, sensing the resonance between this figure and the spiritual energy of the entire eerie realm. His earlier suspicions were finally confirmed.

However, Chen Fei had at most considered the presence of spiritual treasures or perhaps a living person cultivating. He never imagined it would be a vessel devoid of consciousness.

Seeing Shen Yuanjun’s vessel, even though Chen Fei had never seen the Minghe Record, he understood some of its implications.

Possession, seizing another’s nest, it was nothing new.

And now, since this vessel lacked consciousness, the steps of possession could be omitted altogether, and Chen Fei could directly take control. In a sense, this vessel was somewhat similar to a spiritual treasure.

However, spiritual treasures were ultimately external objects, whereas this vessel could truly assist cultivators in elevating their cultivation to the Mountain Sea Realm.

Chen Fei suddenly turned his head to look at Tan Bingxiu. At some point, Tan Bingxiu had formed hand seals, and the power of the entire altar was resonating with him. Tan Bingxiu was attempting to forcefully take control of Shen Yuanjun’s vessel..
