Cultivation: Start From Simplifying Martial Arts Techniques

Thousands of miles away, Chen Fei appeared, his left hand clutching You Wen’s neck.

This member of the Evil Clans at the mid-stage Rule Integration Realm had a state of mind not much different from that of Yue Chaobin at this moment.

He was completely clueless about what had happened, from where the attack had come, or who had attacked him.

It was not until Chen Fei stopped moving that You Wen managed to get a clear look at Chen Fei’s appearance and aura, his eyes involuntarily widening.

The prodigy of the human race, Chen Fei?

Even though Chen Fei’s aura was slightly different from usual, at such close proximity, You Wen still guessed Chen Fei’s identity.

But having guessed Chen Fei’s identity only added to You Wen’s confusion.

Chen Fei looked down at You Wen in his hand; crossing more than a thousand miles directly through the spatial rift had no effect on Chen Fei, but You Wen’s vitality had plummeted to rock bottom.

Such a brutal method of spatial traversal was unbearable for someone at the mid-stage Rule Integration Realm, so before Chen Fei had done anything to You Wen, You Wen was already gravely injured and on the brink of death.

To the end, You Wen didn’t have the chance to utter a single word, nor did anyone resolve the doubts in his mind.

Chen Fei’s left hand shook slightly, turning You Wen into a mist of blood, and with a backward drag of his hand, a cluster of spiritual essence was stripped out.

The Bronze Rune was activated, but this time, as the ray of light surged into Chen Fei’s soul, the cool sensation did not spread.

After plundering so much talent, Chen Fei’s insight had reached a point where an average mid-stage Rule Integration Realm individual could no longer grant him any increase in talent.

Chen Fei had anticipated this.

The Bronze Rune was incomplete after all, only able to plunder a portion of an opponent’s talent, and there was a limit to how much it could accumulate.

Excess could be harmful, yet it could not make up for deficiencies.

Setting aside his overt talents, Chen Fei’s innate talent now ranked extremely high among those within the Black Stone Domain at the Rule Integration Realm.

Thus it was highly unlikely for him to continue gaining talent from those at the mid-stage Rule Integration Realm.

Unless this member of an alien race at the mid-stage Rule Integration Realm had the potential to grow to a higher realm, it could possibly contribute to enhancing Chen Fei’s talent.

Chen Fei began to enact God Devouring and started to read You Wen’s fragmented soul.

In just a moment, Chen Fei’s brow furrowed, for within You Wen’s memory fragments, seven thousand miles to the east, several members of the Human Clan’s Rule Integration Realm were being besieged.

The fact that the Ice Race and Evil Clans at the Rule Integration Realm were already numerous there, and You Wen happened to come across Yue Chaobin and his companion, meant that You Wen didn’t bother going there to join the ambush.

Chen Fei turned his head eastward, collecting You Wen’s mystical treasures and spiritual essence before taking a step forward, his figure vanishing in mid-air.

More than ten thousand miles away, the Emperor of the Evil Clans, Kou Fen, was holding the neck of an early-stage Rule Integration Realm human, and in the next moment, flames completely devoured the human before him.

For an Emperor Realm being, killing someone at the early-stage Rule Integration Realm was no more difficult for Kou Fen than squashing an ant.

Kou Fen obliterated the soul of the human in front of him and glanced at the low-grade mystical treasure in his hand. A surge of essence force poured into the mystical treasure, eradicating over a hundred thousand citizens of Jiguang City contained within.

In Kou Fen’s eyes, only outcomes mattered, not the process.

To Kou Fen, killing a Human Clan member at the early stages of the Rule Integration Realm, with his peak Rule Integration Realm level, was the most rudimentary task.

For Kou Fen, annihilating even the weaker humans contained within the mystical treasure did not weigh on his conscience at all.

In Kou Fen’s eyes, as long as they were mortal enemies, it did not matter if they were weak, old, children, or even ordinary people without any cultivation—they all fell within Kou Fen’s range of targets for extermination.

Even in the future, should the human race be eradicated from the Black Stone Domain, Kou Fen would still send pinnacle Sun Moon Realm members of the Evil Clans to those lower realms that harbored humans to purge them as well.

Since it was a fight to the death, in Kou Fen’s eyes, it was essential to eradicate the human race utterly, leaving no trace.

Suddenly, Kou Fen’s brow twitched slightly, inspecting the condition of the soul token within his Red Flame Saber.

From a few moments ago, the number of the Evil Clans’ Rule Integration Realm beings dying had begun to rise.

At first, Kou Fen didn’t care; although they had come to kill humans, and even though the Evil Clans and the Ice Race members were all above the mid-stage Rule Integration Realm, the human side still had powerful warriors.

If they happened to encounter the human side with the same or even higher levels of cultivation, being killed was not unexpected.

It could only be said that the advantage lay more with the Ice Race and the Evil Clans.

But now, observing the shattered conditions of the soul tokens, Kou Fen realized something was amiss; something must have happened.

Dozens of soul tokens emerged from the Red Flame Saber, and Kou Fen extended his right hand, touching the soul tokens.

“Buzz!”

A ripple spread out, and dozens of light spots appeared before Kou Fen’s eyes.

Each of these light spots represented a member of the Evil Clans’ Rule Integration Realm in this area.

The soul token itself resonated with the original body, otherwise it wouldn’t shatter upon the original body’s destruction.

Therefore, by employing special secret techniques based on the soul token, one could determine its general location.

Kou Fen looked at the few clan members who had just died to see if there was any connection in their distance and trajectory.

After all, if it truly was a human powerhouse hunting and killing members of the Evil Clans and the Ice Race, their locations could definitely be identified.

“Crack, crack, crack!”

Suddenly, three soul tokens that were clustered together shattered instantly, and Kou Fen’s eyes narrowed slightly.

These were three mid-stage Rule Integration Realm beings, and right beside these three mid-stage Rule Integration Realm beings, there was clearly a late-stage Rule Integration Realm being.

Such a combination of forces suggested they had encountered a small squad led by a late-stage Rule Integration Realm human.

Or did he run into a Scavenger?

Why would those Scavengers pick on the easily bullied human race and instead persistently hunt down their Evil Clan?

Persimmons always target the soft, a trait common to the vast majority of creatures.

In this region, the human race was undoubtedly the weakest party.

Kou Fen estimated the distance, over ten thousand miles from him. Such a lengthy distance could only be covered quickly by someone in control of the Space Secondary Rules; otherwise, it was impossible to arrive swiftly.

After considering for a moment, Kou Fen’s figure flickered as he flew towards that direction.

“Crack!”

Having flown less than a thousand miles, a piece of Kou Fen’s soul token shattered again, this time corresponding to the late-stage Rule Integration Realm member from just before.

Kou Fen’s eyebrows furrowed tightly, a trace of perplexity flashing in his eyes.

The human imperial sovereigns Weng Zongfang and Tang Yunshou were definitely not in that direction; of this, Kou Fen was certain.

With the power of an Evil Clan member at the late stages of the Rule Integration Realm, even if they encountered a human-led team, there was a great hope of escape if they desired to flee.

Even if they couldn’t escape, they wouldn’t die so quickly.

Among all the races, without talking about the Emperor Realm, those at the late stages of the Rule Integration Realm were definitely the hardest to kill.

This wasn’t a battlefield with a rule that if you don’t evade, you die, so once they detected something wrong, someone at the late stages of the Rule Integration Realm would surely choose to flee immediately.

In a fight while retreating, it would be nearly impossible for someone of the same rank to slay a late-stage Rule Integration Realm practitioner.

Even an Emperor, if not at the right distance, might allow someone at the late stages of the Rule Integration Realm to get away.

But just now, first, three mid-stage Rule Integration Realm members died, and now a late-stage Rule Integration Realm member as well; what exactly had happened over there?

Moments later, crossing over ten thousand miles, Kou Fen arrived at where the four fellow Evil Clan members at the Rule Integration Realm had perished.

Looking around, Kou Fen noticed that the traces here had been wiped clean, and for a moment, even he couldn’t discern exactly what had happened.

“Crack, crack!”

Two more pieces of the soul token in Kou Fen’s hand shattered, one mid-stage and one late-stage Rule Integration Realm member.

Violent veins burst forth on Kou Fen’s forehead, a flash of red passing through the depths of his eyes.

Who was it, killing members of their Evil Clan with such swiftness?

Kou Fen thought through the Rule Integration Realm forces of the human race in Jiguang City, and none of them had the strength to do this.

Even Yu Wuheng, who was only a step away from the Emperor Realm, was powerful, but if a member of the Evil Clan’s Rule Integration Realm felt outmatched upon encountering him, they would also choose to flee immediately, making it even less likely for them to die.

Three thousand miles away!

Kou Fen turned his head toward the north, his figure suddenly vanishing from the spot as he rushed over at full speed.

Now, Kou Fen truly wanted to see who this sacred figure was!

For an Emperor Realm being, a distance of three thousand miles was not significant, especially when exerting full strength.

And the sensing range of an Emperor was much broader than that of an ordinary holder of the Rule Integration Realm.

A normal Rule Integration Realm member had a sensing range of about a thousand miles, which could be further if the rules they mastered were suited for sensing.

The average sensing range for an Emperor was over a thousand miles.

So after flying just two thousand miles, Kou Fen began sensing the situation to the north, but it was empty, void of any sign of life or fluctuation in aura.

Soon, Kou Fen arrived at the place where the late-stage Rule Integration Realm member of his race had been killed. The traces here had been wiped clean as well.

But by now, Kou Fen was certain that the ones killing their Evil Clan were not Scavengers.

Other races within the Black Stone Domain might not know, but the Evil Clans were aware that these Scavengers were all infested with Soul-devouring Worms.

Detecting Soul-devouring Worms actually required special techniques, being one of the nine great calamities from the Return to Nothing Realm; naturally, all races took great precautions.

However, these special techniques could only be mastered by those at the Open Heaven Realm.

To allow someone at the Rule Integration Realm to master it, it would require an Open Heaven Realm practitioner to exhaust their energy creating Sensing Jades and handing them to Rule Integration Realm members.

Although the Evil Clan’s ancestor was merely at a Fake Open Heaven Realm, they still mastered this sensing technique and crafted jades to give to every member at the Peak of Rule Integration Realm within the Evil Clan.

Now, in Kou Fen’s senses, there were no distinctive vibrations of Soul-devouring Worms, neither at the previous site nor here.

Moreover, Scavengers didn’t care about leaving behind traces, for they had Soul-devouring Worms as their backup.

Kou Fen took a deep breath; every Rule Integration Realm member was a precious force for the Evil Clan, especially those at the later stages, and now, there have already been three late-stage Rule Integration Realm members who died in battle here.

Such losses were something Kou Fen definitively hadn’t anticipated.

Three thousand miles away, Chen Fei unleashed Space Binding to blast apart a mid-stage Rule Integration Realm member of the Ice Race.

He extracted spiritual essence, plundered talent, read the fragmented soul.

These steps had become routine for Chen Fei.

The plundered talent, as he suspected, could not enhance his innate gift.

However, slaying the two late-stage Rule Integration Realm members of the Evil Clan just now had let Chen Fei’s talent grow slightly once again.

Chen Fei crushed the spiritual essence in his hand and began cultivating.

In just a moment, the Rule Integration Realm cultivators he had slain increased the fragments of rules within Chen Fei’s soul from sixty-nine to seventy-one.
