Cultivation: Start From Simplifying Martial Arts Techniques

Gan Ni didn’t die, even though his skull had been shattered.

The injury was, in general, similar to other cultivators of the Rule Integration Realm who had lost an arm—serious, but not fatal.

This had to do with Gan Ni’s special cultivation technique and his racial attribute.

With Chen Fei’s discerning eye, he naturally noticed Gan Ni’s condition right away. Shattering Gan Ni’s skull merely quieted him; that was all.

Ignoring the screams of the Soul-devouring Worms, Chen Fei turned his head towards Ran Bin and the others, who were now close to a hundred miles away. That was close enough distance-wise.

The next moment, a black gleam flashed across Chen Fei’s pupils, and Ran Bin and his companions disappeared, including Gan Ni in front of Chen Fei.

Chen Fei took a step forward and similarly vanished into thin air.

Of course, the safest place to kill these parasitized Scavengers was still within the Cangqiong Domain; otherwise, once marked, even with the ability to travel thousands of miles in a single step, Chen Fei would find no peace in the Black Stone Domain.

Furthermore, should he draw the pursuit of a Soul-devouring Worm of the Open Heaven Realm, Chen Fei figured he wouldn’t be able to escape.

Within the Cangqiong Domain, Gan Ni’s head had not yet regrown, and a split had opened in his abdomen, from where the crazed voice erupted.

Gan Ni wasn’t dead, but the shattering of his skull led the parasitic Soul-devouring Worm to mistake the situation as changing, and it was now frantically drawing out Gan Ni’s essence, energy, spirit, and soul, causing him excruciating pain at the moment.

Ran Bin and the other two late-stage Rule Integration Realm cultivators remained silent, instead vigilantly observing their surroundings.

Being suddenly dragged into this place, without even the chance to resist, made Ran Bin and the other feel uneasy.

Indeed, the moment Chen Fei’s palm shattered Gan Ni’s skull, Ran Bin and the other already felt that something was amiss.

After all, Chen Fei, this member of the human race, was only rumored to be at the early stage of the Rule Integration Realm. How could he have shattered Gan Ni’s skull so effortlessly?

Gan Ni was chaotic in nature but had genuinely cultivated to the mid-stage Rule Integration Realm, and the hundreds of eyes covering him made him incredibly sensitive to attacks.

Injuring Gan Ni, who was also in the mid-stage Rule Integration Realm, was no easy feat, let alone smashing his skull without any resistance.

However, just as Ran Bin and the others sensed something was off, they found that their surroundings had already changed.

Chen Fei’s figure appeared beside Gan Ni, and the furious roaring of Gan Ni abruptly stopped. Hundreds of eyes turned towards Chen Fei simultaneously and then emitted a blinding light, all stabbing towards Chen Fei.

Chen Fei glanced at Gan Ni, and suddenly, chains of space appeared beside Gan Ni, locking him down in layers and also forcibly blocking the hundreds of rays of light emitted by Gan Ni within the Space Binding.

“Impudent! How dare you!”

Ran Bin and Ran Lou, seeing Chen Fei appear, vanished from their spot and reappeared right in front of Chen Fei.

From their brief observation just now, Ran Bin and Ran Lou could sense the tremendous power contained in the barrier in the distance. Breaking through it seemed to be incredibly difficult.

This was likely a kind of supreme treasure of space that could pull opponents into it.

Essentially, this was somewhat similar to the space within mystical treasures.

However, the space inside a mystical treasure could not detain a cultivator of the same rank in the Rule Integration Realm. To actually trap an opponent in it, the most likely outcome would be the mystical treasure being blown apart from the inside.

Ran Bin and his companions did not know where Chen Fei, this insignificant member of the human race, had obtained such a space-based supreme treasure, but as long as they killed Chen Fei, this blockade would crumble on its own.

After all, no matter how powerful a treasure is, it still requires a cultivator to control it. With the cultivator dead, naturally, everything would be in vain.

Chen Fei turned his head to look at Ran Bin and the other, and the space between them suddenly expanded. What seemed like just a few feet apart was, in reality, at least dozens of miles.

“Mid-stage Rule Integration Realm? Hmph!”

Sensing the intensity of the space-based Rules fluctuation that Chen Fei had released, Ran Bin felt slightly relieved.

The control of this secondary space rule was indeed exceedingly exquisite. Using skill to overcome skill was something Ran Bin really had no confidence in. But as a late-stage Rule Integration Realm cultivator, charging through with his own rules would naturally break it.

Ran Lou didn’t speak, but he lifted his Bone Soul Saber high. The next moment, the cold, white light of the blade entered the expanded space before them, causing it to collapse and return to its original state.

Ran Bin, holding the Bone Soul Blade, also slashed with his blade the moment Ran Lou’s attack landed.

Both Ran Bin and Ran Lou, not only having cultivated the same martial arts but also wielding mystical treasures forged together, performed a joint attack. When combined, their power reached nearly that of three late-stage Rule Integration Realm cultivators.

Chen Fei’s eyebrows twitched slightly. Ran Bin and the other had indeed earned their reputation within the vast body of Scavengers with their solid strength.

Chen Fei had deliberately controlled the space-based Rules because, in Xing Gong’s memory, Ran Bin and Ran Lou had also studied one of the secondary space rules.

However, which specific secondary space rule they had studied, Xing Gong did not know, because anyone in the Rule Integration Realm who did know was basically already dead.

Chen Fei now mastered three types of secondary space rules, and after looting a portion of the talent from three Soul-devouring Worms last time, he could vaguely see that the complete main rule of space should consist of five types of secondary rules.

If Chen Fei wanted to control the complete set of space rules in the future, the other two types of secondary space rules naturally had to be studied.

But without a specific cultivation technique, relying solely on the human race’s own characteristics, this was likely a distant dream.

If Ran Bin and Ran Lou were to comprehend a Space Secondary Rule that Chen Fei had not learned, then Chen Fei would need to be more measured in his approach when he makes his move to kill the Rans.

The God Devouring ability’s effectiveness in reading fragmented souls greatly depends on the integrity of the opponent’s soul.

In this moment, as Ran Bin and Ran Lou swung their blades to shatter the expanding space, Chen Fei saw clearly the details of the Space Secondary Rules they wielded.

It was not one of the three Space Secondary Rules that Chen Fei had mastered, and just this was already enough for Chen Fei to know.

“Clang!”

The sound of extreme metal twisting rang out as Chen Fei, holding his Qianyuan Sword, firmly parried the Rans’ blades, his body unmoved.

Even without igniting the rules of Earth, Water, Fire, Wind, Chen Fei’s Celestial Suppression physique, along with his skill level in his martial arts, and his Rule Fragments nearing the late stages of the Rule Integration Realm made it clear.

For the late-stage Rule Integration Realm Ran Bin siblings to inflict any harm on Chen Fei was absolutely impossible.

Of course, to confront these two late-stage Rule Integration Realm twins with a telepathic bond, without displaying a nearly Emperor-level power, it would be very difficult for Chen Fei to kill them.

In the end, the most likely outcome would be exhausting the Rans to death, but that would take far too much time.

Watching Chen Fei effortlessly catch their attack, the expressions of Ran Bin and Ran Lou changed drastically.

The aura Chen Fei was exhibiting was still that of mid-stage Rule Integration Realm, but how could a mid-stage possibly block the combined slash of the two?

Even those in the late stages of the Rule Integration Realm would be injured and forced back facing their combined attack, and for those slightly weaker, it was not impossible to be severely wounded and on the brink of death.

So how did it come to be that in the hands of this mere human of the mid-stage Rule Integration Realm, it turned out like this?

Gan Ni, who was fighting with all her might at the side, saw the scene unfold, and subconsciously stopped struggling, her hundreds of eyes’ pupils contracting violently.

As a member of this scavenger squad, Gan Ni naturally knew very well what kind of strength her two captains possessed.

Having killed at least six individuals in the late stages of Rule Integration Realm over the years, most of whom had greater cultivation than the Rans.

But with the telepathic bond, Ran Bin and Ran Lou could merge their attacks to unleash greater power, and a normal late-stage Rule Integration Realm cultivator would find it hard to be their match.

Now, to be so easily blocked by someone of the human race’s mid-stage Rule Integration Realm?

Gan Ni felt this way, and so did the other three mid-stage Rule Integration Realm scavengers, whose hearts were also filled with shock.

They wanted to rush over and help, to work together to slay Chen Fei.

But the space between them and Chen Fei had already been expanded; the Rans could rely on stronger rule power to forcefully break through Chen Fei’s space expansion.

Being on the same level as Chen Fei in the mid-stage Rule Integration Realm, they simply could not do the same.

Thus, the distance between them and Chen Fei was still over dozens of miles, and even though this distance was nothing for a cultivator in the Rule Integration Realm and even long-range attacks could reach, it still takes some time, and that time was enough for Chen Fei to launch his attack.

Within his soul, Chen Fei ignited the fragments of the Earth, Water, Fire, Wind Rules, and pitch-dark lightning spread across the surface of his body, with wild power instantly filling his every inch.

When their first joint attack could not budge Chen Fei at all, Ran Bin and Ran Lou did not hesitate to use forbidden techniques.

As part of the scavenger collective, which can even accept being infested by Soul-devouring Worms, one can understand the nature of these scavengers.

Facing a desperate situation, they certainly do not lack the determination to fight to the death, and when it’s time to use forbidden techniques, they will not hesitate.

Of course, if there’s a chance to survive, they will also choose to do so without hesitation, otherwise, when faced with a dead end, they would not choose to be enslaved by the Soul-devouring Worms for a thousand years.

As Ran Bin and Ran Lou activated their forbidden techniques, their aura surged instantly, and they even connected with each other, forming an even stronger aura that pressured Chen Fei.

Ran Bin and Ran Lou raised their blades high, and in an instant, an illusory celestial phenomenon formed behind them, shockingly, in the shape of a Soul-devouring Worm.

This Devouring Spirit Worm Phenomenon was unlike ordinary Soul-devouring Worms in appearance, more majestic and ferocious, chilling to behold.

A silent roar erupted from the Devouring Spirit Worm Phenomenon, rolling towards Chen Fei to crush him.

This was a Divine Soul Attack. Ran Bin’s Bone Soul Saber and Bone Soul Blade, from the remains of an unknown race, had been refined over hundreds of years into the mystical treasures they were now.

Ordinarily, they could store their soul power within them, releasing it all at once when needed, without worrying about backlash to their own souls.

“Roar!”

In Chen Fei’s ears, he faintly heard the roar reminiscent of a primordial beast.

But that was all.

The next moment, the Qianyuan Sword in Chen Fei’s hand turned into a streak of black light, slashing onto the combined attack of the Rans’ blades.

“Clang!”

The booming sound echoed through the area, the Devouring Spirit Worm Phenomenon twisted violently, and then dissipated into nothingness.
