This deserted island was hundreds of miles away from the location of the recent battle.
Ku Rong had not yet died. Chen Fei needed to deal with this descendant of the Monster King as far away from the fleet as possible.
“Bang!1‘
With a dull sound, Chen Fei casually threw Ku Rong’s body to the ground.
Severely injured and on the verge of death, that was Ku Rong’s current condition. However, it had to be said that the bloodline of the Monster King was indeed extraordinary. Without any healing medicine, Ku Rong’s injuries were slowly healing.
At that rate, lying for several months, Ku Rong’s injuries would be as good as new.
If it had been a warrior, it would probably have taken several years, and if the injuries had reached the origin, they would never have fully recovered their original strength.
However, even if Ku Rong had recovered to its original strength, it would have been useless because its mind had been completely shattered by Chen Fei, and its spiritual wisdom no longer existed.
Chen Fei looked down at Ku Rong, the Qianyuan Sword appearing in his hand. The next moment, the Qianyuan Sword pierced directly into Ku Rong’s back.
Chen Fei formed hand seals, and the majestic spiritual essence of Ku Rong began to be slowly drawn out.
The majestic spiritual essence appeared in the palm of Chen Fei’s hand, and the energy and blood in Chen Fei’s body gradually boiled. The Dragon Elephant Induction Point emitted a strong suction force, swallowing this spiritual essence.
In the recent battles, although they didn’t last long, Chen Fei found his physique unusually active.
Previously, during the battle with Shen Yuanjun in the Mysterious realm of the Fallen Heaven Pavilion, the intensity was no less than this time, but Chen Fei didn’t feel much about his physique.
Perhaps it was because during this time, Chen Fei had been diligently cultivating the Dragon-Elephant Technique, allowing his physique to reach a true critical point. Thus, the intense stimulation of the body this time made his physicality react in this way.
The spiritual essence contained impurities that Chen Fei usually wouldn’t absorb, even if given to his physical body.
However, Chen Fei didn’t intend to truly refine this spiritual essence this time. Instead, he wanted to use the spiritual essence of this descendant of the Monster King to stimulate his physique to a greater extent, giving his body the possibility of breaking through its current level.
As the Dragon Elephant Induction Point swallowed the spiritual essence, Chen Fei’s physical body began to tremble slightly, and a strong discomfort appeared in his perception.
A faint but distinct noise appeared in Chen Fei’s ears. These were fragments of consciousness in the spiritual essence, as well as imprints from the bloodline of the Monster King. Chen Fei’s forced refinement clashed with these fragments and imprints.
This was undoubtedly a dangerous situation because if mishandled, Chen Fei might undergo a mutation, similar to those martial artists who specifically refine the bloodlines of demonic beasts to strengthen themselves.
Irritability, impulsiveness, and anger—all consequences of the contamination of the mind.
The Suppressing Dragon Elephant Soul Tempering began to operate. The power of the soul rose into the mind and spread throughout Chen Fei’s body, giving him a sense of unity between the primordial and the integrated.
The spiritual essence within Ku Rong’s body continued to flow into the Dragon Elephant Induction Point. The speed of Chen Fei’s heartbeat gradually increased, and the flow of blood reached its peak, emitting a sound like the rushing of rivers.
The blood transported the elemental power, seeking to further strengthen the physical body.
However, the physical body had reached its limit at this moment and could no longer accept any degree of enhancement.
The spiritual essence had to overflow from the Dragon Elephant Induction Point and then spread throughout Chen Fei’s body. In just a moment, Chen Fei was completely enveloped by the spiritual essence.
The Dragon Elephant Induction Point wanted to continue swallowing the spiritual essence, but since the physical body refused to strengthen further, there was nowhere for this essence to go.
The sensation of the physical body tearing began to appear in Chen Fei’s perception, while in some subtle areas, influenced by the imprints of the bloodline of the Monster King, mutations began to occur.
‘■Hum!1‘
Chen Fei’s body trembled as the Dragon-Elephant Technique suppressed all abnormalities. Not only did it suppress these abnormalities, but it also pressed down on the spiritual essence along with them.
The spiritual essence within Chen Fei’s body was immobilized by the suppression of the Dragon-Elephant Technique, but external spiritual essence continued to join in.
A phantom of the Dragon-Elephant appeared behind Chen Fei, further strengthening his control over his body.
The capacity of a container is limited. When the container cannot expand, yet there are many things continuously pouring in from outside, the only option is to compress the incoming material.
By compressing it, naturally, more things can be stored.
At this moment, under the suppression of the Dragon-Elephant Technique, the spiritual essence within Chen Fei’s body began to be forcibly compressed, becoming more condensed, and Chen Fei’s physical body also began to absorb some of the spiritual essence.
This absorption was more like squeezing two metals together. As long as the force was strong enough, one could always squeeze one into the other.
Chen Fei’s physical body had a hint of this feeling at the moment. With his physique already at its limit, he had to start absorbing some power.
And with this step, the accumulated spiritual essence within Chen Fei’s body finally found a place to flow.
This method of forcibly breaking through was probably something only Chen Fei could manage. For other martial artists, the first thing they would end up breaking would be themselves, let alone achieving a breakthrough.
A day passed in the blink of an eye, and Chen Fei was completely immersed in his cultivation.
Ku Rong’s body had long ceased to emit spiritual essence. At this moment, Ku Rong was truly on the brink of death, and its ability to self-repair had become barely perceptible due to the loss of spiritual essence.
With the assistance of Chen Fei’s clone, the fleet had already sailed thousands of miles away from their previous location. At this point, there were no more powerful sea monsters lurking nearby.
However, Chen Fei’s clone did not stop. He continued to mobilize the elemental energy of heaven and earth, leading the fleet forward.
The Monster King had not yet appeared, but once it did, it would spell disaster.
Compared to this, the exhaustion from continuously mobilizing the elemental energy of heaven and earth was insignificant.
Chen Fei’s main body had not returned yet, and Tong Zhongqiu and the others wore a hint of worry on their faces.
In this fleet, Chen Fei was truly the mainstay, not only spiritually but also in practical terms.
Without a powerhouse like Chen Fei to protect them, it would be impossible for the fleet to safely navigate through thousands of miles of sea relying solely on a few early and mid-stage Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators.
If slightly stronger sea monsters appeared, these Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators would have to scatter and flee, leaving the people in the fleet virtually abandoned.
It was a matter of life and death, and everyone had to accept their fate.
It was only because Chen Fei’s clone was still present that they felt somewhat reassured. If Chen Fei’s clone suddenly disappeared, they would likely be at a loss.
Another day passed, and on the deserted island, Chen Fei sat quietly in meditation, his breath barely perceptible, like a stone.
Suddenly, Chen Fei’s eyes snapped open, and a stunning aura surged from his body.
A ripple silently spread from Chen Fei’s body, and in the next moment, the elemental energy of heaven and earth within a radius of a dozen miles reversed and poured into him. The deserted island became the center of a vortex as countless streams of elemental energy flowed into Chen Fei’s body.
His muscles and bones resonated together, like thunder echoing through the air. The oppressive feeling emanating from Chen Fei’s body grew heavier, and in a trance, it seemed as if an ancient behemoth had awakened.
His elemental power, his mind, and even his soul trembled slightly.
Chen Fei’s body floated automatically into the air, and thunder flashed in the elemental energy of heaven and earth. Some of it landed on Chen Fei’s body, directly absorbed by him.
With thunder imbuing his body, this phenomenon lasted for a full hour before gradually subsiding, and the elemental energy of heaven and earth returned to calmness.
Chen Fei looked down at his body, slowly clenching his fists, a powerful force circulating between his knuckles.
With the stimulation from Ku Rong’s bloodline, Chen Fei’s physique, after a period of stagnation, finally crossed the threshold and reached the Mountain Sea Realm.
Although only the strength of his physique had reached the Mountain Sea Realm, the significance of this for Chen Fei remained immense.
Not to mention anything else, if Chen Fei had intended to truly break through to the Mountain Sea Realm in his martial arts cultivation in the future, his then-current physique could have provided him with much more time for his soul to undergo further transformation.
Many peak Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators failed to break through to the Mountain Sea Realm because the time given by the elemental energy of heaven and earth to their souls was too short, making it impossible for them to seize the fleeting opportunity, ultimately leading to failure.
In this regard, Chen Fei undoubtedly had a great advantage.
Besides the increased likelihood of successfully breaking through to the Mountain Sea Realm in the future, Chen Fei’s then-current combat power would also have continued to rise.
The soul of a Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivator might have struggled to fully utilize the power of a Mountain Sea Realm physique, but with the Suppressing Dragon Elephant Soul Tempering, coupled with the power of his soul, Chen Fei could have maximized the power of that body to its fullest extent.
Moreover, with his physique having broken through to the Mountain Sea Realm, the restrictions would have been lifted, and his physical body could have continued to strengthen in future cultivation.
Furthermore, Chen Fei’s recovery ability had reached an extremely exaggerated level.
Although he couldn’t have achieved the feat of dripping blood to be reborn, he could have already regenerated simple limb injuries in a very short time.
In fact, as long as Chen Fei’s skull wasn’t completely shattered, any damage to his body below the skull, including having his heart crushed, wouldn’t have affected his strength and could have been quickly healed.
This was an extremely terrifying boost to a warrior’s combat power.
Chen Fei released his tightly clenched fist, then looked down at Ku Rong on the deserted island. With a flicker, he landed nearby.
Ku Rong hadn’t died yet, though he had been on the brink of death all along. The bloodline flowing within his body stubbornly held onto life.
But even if he hadn’t died, in reality, there wasn’t much difference from being dead.
His foundation was destroyed, as was the bloodline of the Monster King, and his spiritual wisdom was shattered beyond repair.
Chen Fei waved his right hand, and a drop of blood flew out from Ku Rong’s body. As this drop of blood drifted away, Ku Rong’s life force, which had been barely clinging on, began to deteriorate.
By estimation, within a month, Ku Rong would undoubtedly die, and this month’s time would be enough for Chen Fei to completely disappear from this place.
Although the Monster King was lofty, he was not omniscient. By the time the Monster King arrived here, Chen Fei would have long vanished without a trace.
Chen Fei lightly stepped on the ground with his right foot, causing the deserted island to tremble violently as a massive crater appeared.
With a swing of his right hand, Chen Fei swept Ku Rong into the crater, causing the island to tremble as Ku Rong’s body was buried.
Chen Fei’s figure floated up, and a ripple swept out, erasing his own aura and completely masking Ku Rong’s.
In the next moment, Chen Fei moved dozens of miles away before immediately disappearing.
After three consecutive teleports, Chen Fei finally transformed into a stream of light and chased after the direction of the fleet.
Three months later.
Chen Fei sat cross-legged in the cabin, and in the next moment, his eyes opened, appearing in mid-air.
The boundless azure sky was calm and peaceful, but Chen Fei’s physical body was tensing up, and his mind and soul were trembling.
A beam of light shot out from the center of Chen Fei’s eyebrows, sweeping around.
Vaguely, hundreds of miles away, it seemed that a battle to the death between a Monster King and a Mountain Sea Realm cultivator was taking place..
