Chapter 701: Explode!

Chen Fei’s gaze met Zhang Chaoyun’s, and he also saw the unwillingness in Zhang Chaoyun’s eyes.

Zhang Chaoyun felt that killing a sect at the Combined Aperture Tempering realm level with two Mountain Sea Realm cultivators would’ve been effortless. And now, this arrogance was turning back on them completely.

Even if you feel unwilling, when you decide to do something like this, you have to be prepared for the repercussions.

Bang!

The void quivered slightly, and Zhang Chaoyun’s body was completely torn apart, dissipating into a mist of blood.

No amount of unwillingness could change the current situation. Chen Fei also couldn’t afford to show mercy and spare their lives.

The one who kills must continue to kill!

Chen Fei never harbored thoughts of repaying kindness with kindness; all he knew was to stop killings with killings!

As the Slaughter Spirit Technique operated, an immense spiritual essence condensed from Zhang Chaoyun’s blood mist and flew into the Qjanyuan Sword in an unstoppable manner.

Clang!

The Qjanyuan Sword emitted a startling sword cry. With this influx of spiritual essence, the radiance on the massive sword became even more dazzling, rendering the surrounding picturesque rivers and lakes powerless to obstruct the sword’s cleaving.

Upon contact, the giant sword shattered, and in the blink of an eye, its blade swept towards Wu Renxu.

As Zhang Chaoyun was pushed back by a single sword strike, Wu Renxu’s mind trembled violently.

Zhang Chaoyun had fought for his life, yet despite his efforts, he was still defeated by someone who had just broken through to the Mountain Sea Realm moments ago. How could this battle have continued?

Why was the opponent so formidable, with the power of this strike far surpassing the previous one?

The momentum displayed by the first strike was already unimaginable, only to be surpassed by this. Even after breaking through the Mountain Sea Realm after decades, it was still not enough, not even close.

In this situation, it was discovered that the opponent could be even stronger, much stronger.

Feelings of regret and unwillingness flashed through Wu Renxu’s mind, but immediately, his emotions were forcibly suppressed.

Regardless, what was done was done, and could not be changed. What Wu Renxu needed to think about now was how to escape.

He had finally broken through to the Mountain Sea Realm, only to be easily slaughtered here. He couldn’t accept it.

As long as he escaped, there was still hope for the future!

Countless droplets of blood seeped from Wu Renxu’s pores, and in the blink of an eye, he transformed into a blood man. The next moment, Wu Renxu disappeared from the spot.

In an instant, a blood shadow streaked across the sky, covering dozens of miles with a single flash.

Wu Renxu had escaped, and he did so by directly burning his own soul to exchange for ultimate speed.

The soul was the foundation of the Mountain Sea Realm. Burning the soul was even more thorough than burning one’s own elemental origin, but the power gained from this exchange was unparalleled.

However, burning the soul also meant severing one’s own foundation.

Even if Wu Renxu could survive this time, his future realm would be completely locked in its current position. Moreover, if the soul burning lasted a little longer, falling from the Mountain Sea Realm would almost be inevitable.

But compared to death, these considerations seemed trivial.

The Heaven-Cleaving Giant Sword completely shattered the picturesque mountains and rivers around, but it did not touch Wu Renxu’s figure.

Chen Fei turned to look at Wu Renxu’s fleeting figure, which had covered dozens of miles in an instant. Taking a step forward, his figure disappeared from the spot.

Wu Renxu felt Chen Fei’s aura getting farther and farther away, just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, suddenly Chen Fei’s aura appeared in front of him.

Wu Renxu’s eyes involuntarily widened, and the surging blood almost seemed to burst his heart.

He was well aware of the Teleportation ability, but just now, when Chen Fei used it, each shift was only a dozen miles at most. How could he suddenly traverse dozens of miles in one go?

Was it because of the breakthrough just now, which affected the deployment of his talent?

Wu Renxu thought of a possibility, and his heart sank suddenly, followed by a burst of unwillingness and confusion.

It was understandable for someone at the Combined Aperture Tempering realm to possess a talent, perhaps due to the influence of the Black Divine.

But how did the opponent control this talent to such an exaggerated extent?

For cultivators at the Mountain Sea Realm, even with careful contemplation and comprehension of the mysteries, it was difficult to continuously improve their talents.

Usually, they would reach a certain point and then stagnate.

While practicing techniques had manuals to guide them and steps to follow, many still found themselves stuck at certain points.

Training talents, on the other hand, relied solely on one’s own insight. If there were aspects they couldn’t understand, they simply couldn’t, and often there was no one to consult with.

Because talents are intrinsic to oneself, once acquired from the void, they become completely integrated with your soul. To some extent, they were custom-made for you.

It was difficult for cultivators at the Mountain Sea Realm to help others improve their talents through experiential exchanges.

Yet, what was difficult for cultivators at the Mountain Sea Realm to achieve, the opponent managed to do when they were at the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, and they did it so well.

Moreover, there were traces of Mountain Sea Realm techniques displayed in the opponent’s swordsmanship. So, did this mean the opponent could practice Mountain Sea Realm techniques at the Combined Aperture Tempering realm? But how could that be possible!

Wu Renxu couldn’t understand, and no one provided him with answers.

Seeing Chen Fei appear in front of him, Wu Renxu instinctively changed directions and rushed towards another position.

Regardless, Wu Renxu didn’t want to die. Until the very last moment, he wouldn’t give up on his survival plan.

“Since you’re here, you shall remain here forever!”

Chen Fei’s figure vanished once again, only to reappear beside Wu Renxu.

The Qjanyuan Sword in his hand swept out, countless sword elements condensed around them, intertwining with each other, forming the Heavenly Profound Sword Formation.

At the same time, a phantom of a dragon and elephant appeared behind Chen Fei, and a majestic force instantly descended, suppressing everything within a radius of one mile.

Wu Renxu felt his body sink, the flow of his elemental power directly affected, and his speed plummeted instantly. When he looked up again, the edge of the Qjanyuan Sword was only three feet away from him.

“Don’t kill me!”

Wu Renxu shouted loudly. He didn’t want to die. He still didn’t want to die!

Chen Fei’s expression remained unchanged, and there was no change in his movements.

You don’t want to die, but who else wanted to die?

When you brought malevolent entitys over here, intending to blood sacrifice the entire Primordial Sword Sect, did you consider the feelings of so many people in the Primordial Sword Sect?

Chi!

The Qjanyuan Sword’s edge swept directly across Wu Renxu’s neck. Wu Renxu’s body stiffened, and the flow of elemental power throughout his body was severed instantly, along with his life.

The blood mist on Wu Renxu’s body began to dissipate. Wu Renxu stared straight at Chen Fei, his mouth moving as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn’t utter a word at this moment.

Deep in his eyes, Wu Renxu felt regret. Why did he have to come here?

If he hadn’t come here, none of this would have happened.

But unfortunately, life doesn’t offer that many “ifs.”

The mistake had been made, and now he could only repay it with his own life!

In the next moment, Wu Renxu’s body burst into blood mist, every trace of vitality in his body thoroughly extinguished by the sharp sword energy, with no possibility of survival whatsoever.

Avast spiritual essence condensed in the air, and Chen Fei glanced at the Qjanyuan Sword in his hand.

The Qjanyuan Sword had just been promoted to a spiritual treasure, and it was already having trouble absorbing the spiritual essence of a Mountain Sea Realm cultivator.

If another spiritual essence from a Mountain Sea Realm cultivator were to be infused into it now, it wouldn’t burst the Qjanyuan Sword, but a lot of the spiritual essence would inevitably go to waste.

The Concealment Bell appeared in Chen Fei’s hand, and he directed the spiritual essence into the bell.

The Concealment Bell had been inside the Qiankun Bag all along. In a battle of this level, the Concealment Bell wouldn’t serve any purpose. With just one strike, it could be shattered by a Mountain Sea Realm cultivator.

Having just come out of the Qjankun Bag, the Concealment Bell was still a bit dazed. At the same time, it sensed that Chen Fei’s aura seemed a bit strange, different from before.

Before the Concealment Bell could figure it out, it suddenly felt an immensely overwhelming force surging into its body.

Previously, the Concealment Bell had sensed the power of the Monster King’s blood, but now this spiritual essence was even more exaggerated than the Monster King’s blood.

What was more crucial was that Chen Fei hadn’t allowed it to absorb the Monster King’s blood, but this spiritual essence was given to it directly.

What had happened?

In just a moment, the spiritual essence of the Mountain Sea Realm completely covered the intelligence of the Concealment Bell, and the Concealment Bell immediately entered a transformative state.

Chen Fei moved his right hand slightly, and Wu Renxu’s Jiangshan Fan fell into Chen Fei’s hand.

This Jiangshan Fan had originally been a decent item within the spiritual treasures, but Wu Renxu had extracted its origin, greatly reducing its spirituality. At this moment, it no longer possessed the power of a spiritual treasure.

To restore it, it would take at least several decades of nurturing, or the infusion of high-quality fourth-rank spiritual materials to possibly bring the Jiangshan Fan back to the level of a spiritual treasure.

Chen Fei’s mind probed into the Jiangshan Fan, where there was a separate space containing various celestial treasures, elixirs, and elemental stones carried by Wu Renxu.

Once they reached the Mountain Sea Realm, few people continued to use the Qjankun Bag.

The space inside the Qjankun Bag was too small, and when facing the aftermath of battles between Mountain Sea Realm cultivators, it seemed very fragile. One misstep, and the Qjankun Bag could be shattered directly.

Therefore, cultivators at the Mountain Sea Realm typically stored their belongings in spiritual treasures. Due to the sturdy nature of spiritual treasures, it was almost impossible for items to be shattered when stored within a spiritual treasure of the same level.

Chen Fei transferred everything from the Jiangshan Fan into the Qjanyuan Sword and then placed the Concealment Bell on top of the Jiangshan Fan.

The Jiangshan Fan emitted a violent tearing sound, and the remaining spiritual essence surged into the Concealment Bell.

With the foundation of the Concealment Bell, absorbing the spiritual essence of a Mountain Sea Realm cultivator was still far from enough to break through to the level of a spiritual treasure.

The Jiangshan Fan was already damaged and its value greatly diminished. Instead of keeping it, it was better to give the spiritual essence to the Concealment Bell. At least the material of the Jiangshan Fan was still a fourth­rank spiritual material, which was a rare find for the Concealment Bell.

Chen Fei’s figure flickered as he returned to the place where Zhang Chaoyun had been slain, retrieving the Slaughter Spirit Spear.

Naturally, there were also Zhang Chaoyun’s lifelong collections within the Slaughter Spirit Spear. After transferring them into the Qjanyuan Sword, Chen Fei placed the Slaughter Spirit Spear next to the Concealment Bell.

When the Concealment Bell absorbed the spiritual essence from the Jiangshan Fan just now, it had already been awakened. At that moment, its spirituality was just about to enter into a dormant state when it was startled awake again by the spiritual essence from the Slaughter Spirit Spear.

The Concealment Bell, even in its current sluggish state, understood that its master’s cultivation realm had undergone a profound transformation.

The Mountain Sea Realm, once a lofty realm within the Thousand Feathers Alliance, now had its master standing at this very position.
