Chapter 866: King
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
In that moment, Chen Fei’s sword shattered the Nine Heavens Dust Shield directly. Seizing this brief gap, the Bloodwing Divine Phoenix took the opportunity to flee into the Nirvana Fire and did not reappear.
In the flames, the Phoenix’s true body could dissipate into nothingness.
Each Nirvana Fire could be its true form or not.
Or rather, on the entire arena, every Nirvana Fire was now the Bloodwing Divine Phoenix. If the Phoenix didn’t wish to emerge now, it could remain within the Nirvana Fire indefinitely.
Moreover, by burning the world’s spiritual energy within the Nirvana Fire, the Bloodwing Divine Phoenix was rapidly recovering its injuries.
A faint light flickered at Chen Fei’s brow, unable to discern where the Phoenix’s true body was.
However, even with the Nirvana Fire, it would still take some time for the Bloodwing Divine Phoenix to recover from its injuries just now. This time was enough for Chen Fei to first eliminate Zhu Xiaowen.
Turning his head towards Zhu Xiaowen, Chen Fei intensified the sword intent pressing down on him, causing Zhu Xiaowen’s mind to freeze involuntarily.
He actually caused a crack in the void, this lunatic!
Zhu Xiaowen cursed inwardly as the Nine Heavens Dust Technique circulated. Countless layers of Dust-Free surrounded him, even the illusion of the Divine Mountain appeared around Zhu Xiaowen’s body.
From the previous clash between Chen Fei and the Bloodwing Divine Phoenix, Zhu Xiaowen realized that he alone truly couldn’t match Chen Fei.
Even when he joined forces with the Bloodwing Divine Phoenix just now, they were completely defeated by the opponent.
Continuing to confront head-on would definitely be futile. However, conceding directly would be too shameful.
If Zhu Xiaowen were alone at this moment, admitting defeat would be acceptable because there would be no other option.
But now with the Bloodwing Divine Phoenix, if neither of them could win, the situation would be truly embarrassing.
Zhu Xiaowen looked at Chen Fei not far away, who was still immersed in the Nirvana Fire, which surely consumed a significant amount of energy.
There was also the Seven Star Illumination Technique, the talent fusion technique, and the soul burning technique, all of which required the expenditure of the practitioner’s vitality and spirit.
Therefore, to win this contest, Zhu Xiaowen only needed to prolong the fight until Chen Fei exhausted himself completely.
“The art of leveraging strength from others is truly ingenious.”
Zhan Xuming suddenly remarked from mid-air.
“There are many such techniques, but Chen Junior’s defense is excessively strong, which allows him to assimilate so much power for his own use,” murmured Meng Guangning softly.
In various major sects, there were many inheritances like leveraging external strength.
However, if your own strength wasn’t sufficient, before you could utilize borrowed power, you might end up bursting yourself.
Su Wenyu’s expression shifted slightly as he suddenly thought of a technique.
Suppressing Dragon Elephant!
It resembled the state Chen Fei was demonstrating at the moment.
However, Su Wenyu had personally inspected the Suppressing Dragon Elephant technique before and found it decent, but it didn’t possess such extraordinary power. Moreover, Chen Fei’s defense displayed was indeed outrageously strong.
It seemed more like he was granted immense natural talent.
On the arena,
Chen Fei observed Zhu Xiaowen layering countless Nine Heavens Dust Shields. He moved subtly, arriving in front of Zhu Xiaowen and directly slashed with his sword.
“Boom!”
With unstoppable force, the power from the Concealment Sword first tore open a gap in the illusion of the Divine Mountain, then systematically shattered each layer of Nine Heavens Dust Shield within.
In the end, only a few thin layers of Nine Heavens Dust Shield remained around Zhu Xiaowen’s body.
Zhu Xiaowen’s face turned somewhat pale. This was a technique forcefully broken, causing his body to suffer backlash.
Seeing Chen Fei raise his sword again, Zhu Xiaowen quickly retreated while continuously repairing the Nine Heavens Dust Shield around his body.
However, Chen Fei seemed to stick to Zhu Xiaowen like glue, shadowing his every move.
The power condensed on the Concealment Sword caused Zhu Xiaowen’s soul to tremble violently, as if one more strike would shatter his entire body.
Zhu Xiaowen’s pupils contracted slightly, astonished at the exaggerated nature of the attack. Due to his cultivation level, he couldn’t fully unleash the complete profundity of the Nine Heavens Dust Technique.
Among peers of the same level, no one should have been able to break through such an attack!
“Roar!”
A sharp phoenix cry echoed loudly as the Nirvana Fire spread across the arena suddenly contracted. The figure of the Bloodwing Divine Phoenix appeared above Chen Fei, while all the Nirvana Fires gathered around him, then began to spin wildly.
The Nirvana Fire condensed into threads, not only sharply increasing in temperature but also in its cutting edge, as if it could slice this space into several pieces.
The Bloodwing Divine Phoenix’s injuries were far from healed; the time was too short, leaving no room for it to recover and then deal with Chen Fei.
If delayed any longer, Zhu Xiaowen would be swept off the arena.
“This little phoenix is gambling that its attack can surpass Chen Junior’s defense!” Meng Guangning’s expression shifted slightly, then he chuckled softly.
With the saying “onlookers see the clearest,” coupled with their high cultivation realm, Meng Guangning and others could discern Chen Fei’s technique -becoming stronger when faced with strong opponents.
The Bloodwing Divine Phoenix and Zhu Xiaowen were deeply embroiled in the battle, where the situation changed in an instant, making it hard to see clearly.
Nevertheless, even in such circumstances, they instinctively felt that their attacks might have been borrowed by Chen Fei.
When your attack is borrowed, to win the contest, either your attack must surpass the limit of the opponent’s borrowing capacity, or you must passively defend, not allowing the opponent to borrow any strength, enduring until the end to see who collapses first.
Initially, Zhu Xiaowen had intended to use the second method, exhausting Chen Fei until he ran out of energy.
However, Chen Fei’s recent sword strike shattered Zhu Xiaowen’s illusion.
The intensity of this attack surpassed the limit of the Nine Heavens Dust Shield, unable to withstand more than a few strikes.
The Bloodwing Divine Phoenix also saw this and thus chose the first method: giving it all, using stronger power to break through the opponent’s defense.
“Depart!”
Zhu Xiaowen took a deep breath, faint illusory flames appearing on his body. Zhu Xiaowen also burned his soul and used a secret technique from the Nine Heavens Dust Technique.
The Dust vanished from Zhu Xiaowen’s body, quietly blending into the Nirvana Fire.
The intangible Nirvana Fire suddenly gained a substantial texture, with its contained power increasing dramatically in an instant.
Within the fiery whirlwind, Chen Fei’s skin began to redden, exuding a peculiar force that attempted to draw out moisture from within his body.
This was the power of the Nine Heavens Dust Technique, capable of dehydrating opponents.
At a lower level, opponents might disintegrate before even being attacked.
However, the Suppressing Dragon Elephant technique cultivated by Chen Fei infused deep into his blood, where every drop contained his essence, far from being easily drained away.
Chen Fei’s hair whipped back, and the aura emanating from him grew increasingly intense.
Slowly raising the Concealment Sword, Chen Fei, while Zhu Xiaowen and the Bloodwing Divine Phoenix sought to breach his defense, also wanted to test the extent of his own defense.
At the peak of the Great Completion stage, the Suppressing Dragon Elephant technique; the Perfection stage of the Purple Sky Stellar Technique; and in the mid-stage of the Mountain Sea Realm, the six connected Divine Palaces formed the foundation of his defensive prowess, which was already extraordinary.
Built upon this foundation, his innate talent added sixfold with Prison Suppression, fourfold with Adamantine Body, and his Sword Master talent naturally providing defensive capabilities.
While his proficiency in Thunderstorm talent was not high, it provided inherent resistance to thunder and heat.
The Sword Master talent, Sword Dominates the Galaxy, continued to add sixty percent to his defense.
Burning his soul meant Chen Fei was unleashing everything—strength, speed, and defense—all at once.
With all these factors combined, even Chen Fei himself felt he was no longer human. To break through Chen Fei’s current defense, you would need someone at the peak of the Mountain Sea Realm, and even then, Chen Fei couldn’t retaliate.
Otherwise, in a mutual attack scenario, even if Gu Zhongquan, at the peak of the Mountain Sea Realm, were to come, killing Chen Fei would be out of the question; at most, he would be slightly inferior.
” Something’ snot right here!”
Zhu Xiaowen watched Chen Fei in the storm, his aura growing stronger and stronger, causing him to feel alarmed, glancing involuntarily at the Bloodwing Divine Phoenix.
The expression on the Bloodwing Divine Phoenix also changed slightly. Where did this monster come from? Why was it more resilient than his Phoenix bloodline? It didn’t make sense!
“Is this your final move?” Chen Fei looked up at the Bloodwing Divine Phoenix and Zhu Xiaowen.
His innate talents, Prison Suppression and Adamantine Body, had reached their limits. Even the defense boost from Sword Dominates the Galaxy was now shining brightly.
But at this point, it was already the limit.
“You…”
The Bloodwing Divine Phoenix was naturally proud. Upon hearing Chen Fei’s words, it was about to speak when it saw the Concealment Sword in Chen Fei’s hand descending.
The fiery tornado swirling around Chen Fei instantly shattered.
In the eyes of the Bloodwing Divine Phoenix and Zhu Xiaowen, it seemed as if the heavens and earth collapsed in an instant, and endless darkness engulfed them.
“Hum!”
A black void crack extended from under the Concealment Sword, stretching all the way to the edge of the arena, ultimately blocked by the power of Celestial Treasure.
There was no earth-shattering explosion, only the lingering sword mark that shattered the void, lingering in the air above the arena for a long time.
Gu Zhongquan and others who were already on the list watched this scene in astonishment.
For them, performing such a move would probably be quite difficult.
At the peak of the Fourth Stage, tearing through the void is not an easy feat in itself. Only the most outstanding among them could achieve such a feat.
The power of Chen Fei’s sword strike was even more violent than the void rift created earlier when he clashed with the Bloodwing Divine Phoenix.
Chen Fei was only in the mid-stage of the Mountain Sea Realm. If he grew to the peak of the Mountain Sea Realm, what could he become?
At the moment the Concealment Sword fell, both the Bloodwing Divine Phoenix and Zhu Xiaowen were instantly teleported out of the arena by Zhan Xuming.
Staring blankly at the sword mark, both the Bloodwing Divine Phoenix and Zhu Xiaowen wore a hint of desolation in their expressions. They had lost, and it was an unequivocal defeat.
They couldn’t withstand that strike, and not being able to meant potential death.
The Sun Moon Realm experts and the Monster Emperor’s eyes were fixed on Chen Fei, unable to help but show smiles on their faces involuntarily.
With such power, in a life-and-death duel, the mid-stage of the Fourth Stage had almost assuredly tipped the scales heavily in favor.
And with still a month left, in full cooperation, how much more could Chen Fei grow!
On the arena, Chen Fei sheathed his sword, and the void sword mark gradually dissipated.
He gestured respectfully to those around him and then exited the arena.
Returning to Zhao Ruizheng and the others, everyone’s gaze toward Chen Fei was now filled with profound reverence.
This was absolute strength, leading to absolute authority.
Chen Fei, looking across the vast Boundless Sea, deservedly stood as the undisputed king of the mid-stage of the Fourth Stage!
