Cultivation: Start From Simplifying Martial Arts Techniques-Chapter 1158 - 1114: One Man Holds the Pass

Chapter 1158: Chapter 1114: One Man Holds the Pass

The overwhelming might of the Soul-devouring Worm Legion had already been sensed by those in the Rule Integration Realm of the Black Stone Domain before they entered the ruins.

But back then, they were a hundred miles away, and since the worms’ target wasn’t them, the impression hadn’t been profound.

At this moment, the Soul-devouring Worms swarmed in like a blanket that covered the sky, especially with their characteristic of devouring everything with ferocity, causing the faces of those within the Xuanwu Formation to drastically change.

“Boom!”

Without time to think further, the Xuanwu Formation collided with the vanguard of the Soul-devouring Worms. The barrier of the formation trembled violently, making the complexions of those at the forefront from various Rule Integration Realms turn even paler.

At this moment, within the Rule Integration Realm of the Black Stone Domain, those at the early stage were few and far between, and those who had survived were almost all that remained.

As the Xuanwu Formation continuously drew on their essence, those in the early stages of the Rule Integration Realm might die at any moment, but this was a calamity they couldn’t escape or avoid; they could only endure it.

Chen Fei followed everyone’s rhythm, retreating a few steps back, and looking up at the fierce mouthparts of the Soul-devouring Worm, his brow slightly furrowed.

Before entering the ruins, the Black Demons were also ruthless and fearless, but facing the Soul-devouring Worms, there was a significant change—the Rule Integration Realm of the Black Stone Domain dared not kill the worms.

Those Black Demons could be killed without much worry about the consequences.

But these Soul-devouring Worms would seek revenge if provoked. Dare to kill even one of them, and they would mark you for relentless, unconditional pursuit until death, potentially involving even one’s own race.

Those dozens in the Open Heaven Realm, after taking the supreme treasure inside the bronze cauldron, could directly leave.

Even if they had to face the worms directly, they had Eighth Tier experts supporting them from behind.

This trip to the Black Stone Domain, coming for the supreme treasures left by the Tun Yuan Clan, might seem to be attended only by those from the seventh-level Open Heaven Realm, but behind these people, there were inevitably Eight Rank experts looming.

Eighth Rank experts did not value these treasures because the most valuable possessions of the Tun Yuan Clan had long been divided up.

But though unappealing to them, they could let their descendants chase after these seventh-tier treasures. Personally taking action for such items would seem somewhat improper.

Thus, those in the Open Heaven Realm, facing the Soul-devouring Worms, saw it merely as a nuisance, offering no benefits and potentially ending up with trouble that would have to be dealt with by the Rule Integration Realm and Open Heaven Realm of the Black Stone Domain—perfect.

The Rule Integration Realm of the Black Stone Domain did not dare to kill these worms, and neither did the Open Heaven Realms of the Wu Meng Clan and Xuan Clan dare to do much.

Both clans were just ordinary Seventh Rank Races, without an Eighth Tier backing; otherwise, the Wu Meng Clan wouldn’t have fled to the Black Stone Domain.

If the Xuan Clan had an Eighth Tier figure, they wouldn’t need so much effort to chase the Wu Meng Clan.

Therefore, at this moment, the Xuanwu Formation could only defend against the Soul-devouring Worm Legion. Attempting to kill any of the worms would bring catastrophic disaster to themselves and their race.

With so many from the Rule Integration Realm and Open Heaven Realm present, Chen Fei couldn’t use the powers of the Cangqiong Domain to kill the Soul-devouring Worms; moreover, even if he could kill them, how many could he eliminate? It wouldn’t benefit the overall situation.

Chen Fei deliberately displayed his mid-stage Rule Integration Realm cultivation and brought forth nine warriors in the early stages of the Rule Integration Realm, merely to increase the chances for other humans in the Rule Integration Realm to survive.

Since defense was the only strategy, these nine early-stage Rule Integration Realm warriors were incredibly useful at times like this.

Because the warriors were truly fearless and, although they were a bit weaker, using them as shields in critical moments were perfectly justified, strong as fortified metal.

Time is supreme, space is king; space is the foundation that carries everything, and only time can transcend it.

Chen Fei’s soul’s Space Main Rule crystal, although incomplete, made controlling the onslaught of the Soul-devouring Worms before the people an effortless task.

Each warrior, equipped with the Desolate Universe God Slaying Technique at the stage of Great Completion as the foundation for operating their essence force, perfectly executed the commands given by Chen Fei.

“Boom!”

A warrior appeared before Jiang Chengji, his body’s power integrated and seamless, blocking a late-stage Soul-devouring Worm with his sword.

Although it was only for a moment and the warrior was forcibly torn apart, it created a brief gap.

Seizing this gap, Jiang Chengji took a step back, just as a flaw on the barrier of the Xuanwu Formation was also repaired, averting a moderate crisis without any injury to Jiang Chengji.

“Bang!”

The mouthparts of the Soul-devouring Worms struck the barrier, causing it to tremble and forcefully pushed the worms out.

The Xuanwu Formation would not shield every Rule Integration Realm individual from all attacks, because if it did, the formation would collapse within moments due to excessive incoming damage.

The Xuanwu Formation would absorb about forty percent of the damage; if the attack’s strength exceeded this, the formation’s barrier would tear open, exposing those inside to external damage.

This formation thus didn’t much consider the safety of the Rule Integration Realms within it, which is why so many who stood at the forefront outside the ruins, from late-stage to peak of the Rule Integration Realm, suffered so heavily.

Those in the Open Heaven Realm had initially only thought of using the Xuanwu Formation to break through the Black Demon’s defenses to enter the ruins.

As for now, it’s enough if they can slightly obstruct the Soul-devouring Worms.

At this moment, Chen Fei was using these warriors in front of the human’s Rule Integration Realm barrier, which shattered in an instant when the old force had faded and the new force had not yet emerged, allowing the warriors to go to their deaths in exchange for a breathing opportunity for the human’s Rule Integration Realm.

The early-stage Rule Integration Realm warriors fighting against the Soul-devouring Worms were somewhat insufficient, but their sacrifice at this moment had made the human’s Rule Integration Realm much safer.

For Chen Fei, as long as the essence force was sufficient, the supply of warriors was endless.

Using the mid-stage Rule Integration Realm’s essence force to continuously support the warriors of the early stage Rule Integration Realm was somewhat unjustifiable.

Around Chen Fei, tens of thousands of low-grade Primordial Crystals began to appear, with nearly a thousand shattering to bring forth one warrior.

In the presence of all the Rule Integration Realms around him, Chen Fei let them witness the complete process of the warriors disappearing and reappearing, all sustained by the low-grade Primordial Crystals.

Chen Fei simply coordinated the flow of essence force, which seemed to consume very little of his soul.

“Ah!”

While despairing cries before death continuously resonated from other races’ Rule Integration Realms, the 300 human Rule Integration Realms were effectively defending against the attacks of the Soul-devouring Worms, and not a single human Rule Integration Realm was lost.

This scene was initially not very clear, but as ten or so breaths of time passed and the entire Xuanwu Formation instinctively retreated a hundred steps while the Black Stone Domain’s Rule Integration Realms suffered losses of hundreds, the situation of the humans became incredibly conspicuous.

Jiang Chengji and others unconsciously looked towards Chen Fei; even the three human imperial sovereigns glanced at him several times, discovering for the first time that the Divine Power of Planting Beans into Soldiers could be so useful.

Nine early-stage Rule Integration Realm warriors combined could not withstand a few moves in the late stages of the Rule Integration Realm, and under the Peak of Rule Integration Realm, they were annihilated in a single move.

In a real high-end power showdown, Planting Beans into Soldiers might not be useless but indeed had little chance to help.

But at this moment, because of the Xuanwu Formation’s existence, the sacrifice of early-stage Rule Integration Realm warriors greatly compensated for the character of the formation, causing a drastic change in the situation for the human’s Rule Integration Realm.

After all, the level of the warriors was genuinely at the Rule Integration Realm, and in just those ten or so breaths earlier, dozens of warriors had already lost their lives.

If these were not warriors, but living Rule Integration Realms, then actually, dozens from the early stages would have already died, hardly any different from other races whose Rule Integration Realms had perished just now.

Chen Fei used a Divine Power to prevent so many human Rule Integration Realms from dying.

Hundreds of thousands of low-grade Primordial Crystals suddenly appeared around Chen Fei’s body, all taken out by the human’s Rule Integration Realms from the mystical treasures.

If it can be solved with low-grade Primordial Crystals, it seemed so effortless now.

The surrounding races also looked at Chen Fei from time to time, wanting to imitate him but unable to truly achieve it.

Planting Beans into Soldiers was not unique to the human race; many races within the Black Stone Domain had it, but their use of this Divine Power summoned warriors of the Sun Moon Realm, already the pinnacle.

Yet in battles like this, even with numerous Sun Moon Realm warriors, they couldn’t withstand even a moment of a Soul-devouring Worm’s movements; the disparity in strength was too great.

Thus, after several trials of Planting Beans into Soldiers, other races found it ineffective and had to rely on their own strength to withstand the attacks.

The Wu Meng Clan of the Open Heaven Realm cast a glance at the humans, not paying much attention.

Such warriors, in these special circumstances, showed a seemingly miraculous effect.

But all said and done, it was just early-stage Rule Integration Realm, hardly useful for significant tasks; one could only say, the humans were somewhat fortunate this time.

And if the Black Stone Domain could have fewer Rule Integration Realms perish, their Wu Meng Clan in the back would be somewhat safer.

Thus, the current situation of the humans was actually to their liking—it wasn’t out of kindness but because it benefitted them more.

The 300 human Rule Integration Realms, initially with lifeless eyes, now couldn’t help but radiate vitality, a hope as if they had found life in a desperate situation.

Their ask was never much; they only wished to survive this calamity, even ignoring the treasure inside the bronze cauldron wanted by many human Rule Integration Realms.

Yet, such a simple request to live was extremely difficult in this catastrophe.

As the warriors continued to perish, Chen Fei also coordinated, letting his complexion gradually grow pale, but the motion of the warriors going to their deaths did not slow down, firmly protecting the safety of the human’s Rule Integration Realm.

At the same time, Chen Fei did not forget to absorb the massive insights flowing from his sea of consciousness, as the spiritual mechanism pervading heaven and earth rapidly declined. Chen Fei naturally would not let go of such a freely available spiritual mechanism.

As the spiritual mechanism gradually returned to normal, the light sphere at the position of the Celestial Wood trembled slightly, and the final burst of power from the bronze cauldron was forcibly stopped by dozens of Open Heaven Realm experts.

What followed was to divide the supreme treasures within half of the bronze cauldron’s feast.

“Screech!”

A harsh scream, as if tearing the soul apart, suddenly resonated in all directions, a white light flashed from behind the Soul-devouring Worms, falling on the position of the Celestial Wood’s bronze cauldron, splitting it in two.
