Cultivation: Start From Simplifying Martial Arts Techniques-Chapter 1197 - 1153: Stop Killing by Killing

Chapter 1197: Chapter 1153: Stop Killing by Killing

With the level of insight Chen Fei had into the Lanyu Divine Technique, under normal circumstances, he could gather all the space within a 700-mile radius into the palm of his hand, just like he had just done.

Because Chen Fei had broken through to the Open Heaven Realm using the Space Main Rule, along with Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind, this allowed Chen Fei to have a stronger capacity to carry the Space Rules.

In specific terms, if Chen Fei was willing, he could burst forth with the Space Rules with even greater intensity than usual.

Just like now, within a single palm strike, the range encompassed by the Space Rules had expanded from a 700-mile radius to a radius of a thousand miles.

As far as the eye could see, space was completely distorted, and Nan Longtu’s body, which had become blurry, now became clear again at this moment.

Within the Heavenly Escape Talisman, the primary force was the Space Rules, followed by the Causality Rule, and a very small portion of the Destiny Rules.

...

The cultivator who crafted the Heavenly Escape Talisman was indeed extraordinary, after all, having integrated three strong Rules and inscribed them into the talismans.

The requirements for control over the Rules had reached an astonishing degree.

Generally speaking, even when facing a Peak of the Open Heaven Realm, as long as the distance between him and the opponent was more than fifty miles, the Heavenly Escape Talisman would allow one to escape safely.

After all, the vast majority at the Peak of the Open Heaven Realm had only cultivated the four Rules of Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind and were not deeply versed in the Space and Causality Rules.

Unless you have angered a cultivator from a Strong Clan above the Eighth Rank in the Peak of the Open Heaven Realm, those chosen ones, because of their martial arts, are involved with numerous strong Rules.

Especially for the Space and Causality Rules, they all attempt to comprehend them.

Well-used Space Rules make one’s body movements and attacks first-rate.

As for the Causality Rule, it is purely because one does not want one’s whereabouts to be controlled by other cultivators, and the Causality Rule can reverse cause and effect which, in combat, is akin to cheating, so the Causality Rule is also the preferred choice for many strong clan prodigies.

Of course, even for the prodigies of races above the Eighth Tier, to delve deeply into the Space and Causality Rules still requires great effort and some luck.

And ultimately, those in the Open Heaven Realm who could completely control these two powerful Rules were still an extremely rare existence. These individuals, without exception, were true monsters, with the path of the Eighth Tier already beneath their feet.

Nan Longtu cherished the Heavenly Escape Talisman and would not resort to using it unless absolutely necessary, but sadly, Nan Longtu met Chen Fei, and it seemed that his fate was sealed.

In the Black Stone Domain, Chen Fei had seen the Heavenly Escape Talisman, and of course, if it were still the Chen Fei of that time, even if he had seen the Heavenly Escape Talisman once, the hope of stopping it would have been extremely slim.

But now, not only did Chen Fei control the Space Rules, he had also grasped a good deal of the Causality Rule.

Although it was just the Causality Rule within his physique, slightly weaker when activated with essence force, there was no problem stopping the Heavenly Escape Talisman.

After all, the talisman was an inanimate object, and Nan Longtu himself had too little exposure to the Space and Causality Rules to fully utilize the power of the Heavenly Escape Talisman.

Nan Longtu watched incredulously as his body solidified anew. Just a moment ago, he had clearly felt himself about to reappear millions of miles away.

Nan Longtu had already seen that scene.

But at the last moment, a force interrupted the Heavenly Escape Talisman and reversed the causality within it, causing Nan Longtu to reappear at his original location.

Nan Longtu dumbfoundedly looked at the remaining half of the Heavenly Escape Talisman in his hand. The power within the talisman was now in chaos, and as he raised his head to look at Chen Fei a hundred miles away, a faint sense of disbelief and desolation overwhelmed him.

The Heavenly Escape Talisman, renowned for its ability to traverse the Open Heaven Realm, had been thwarted by someone at the Early Stage of the Open Heaven Realm of the human race!

Traversing the Open Heaven Realm was naturally somewhat of an exaggeration, but Nan Longtu never imagined that the Heavenly Escape Talisman would fail under such circumstances.

Chen Fei withdrew his right hand, grasped the floating Qianyuan Sword beside him, and blinked to Nan Longtu’s front, stabbing out with his sword.

All the space within a 700-mile radius was condensed onto the tip of the sword, and the powers of Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind roared.

Feeling the power on the tip of the Qianyuan Sword, Xie Changxuan instinctively wanted to retreat backward, to avoid that strike.

Only by truly facing it could one vividly feel how terrifying this strike was, and how utterly despairing.

But quickly, Nan Longtu forcibly stopped his instinct to retreat because Xie Changxuan’s earlier plight flashed through Nan Longtu’s mind.

It seemed like dodging might avoid injury, but in the end, it might result in even greater harm.

There was no escape, nowhere to hide, only a head-on battle could possibly suffice.

“Kill!”

Nan Longtu suppressed all the miscellaneous thoughts in his heart, let out a shout, and his Star Falling Blade crazily slashed at Chen Fei.

He didn’t choose to defend; Nan Longtu’s martial arts were not based on defense.

Starfall Frenzy Kill, a seventh-tier top-grade legacy Nan Longtu had exchanged for within the Heart Deceit Bureau, this technique emphasized attack over retreat, using killing to stop killing!

The best defense is offense, to fight for a glimmer of hope in the most frantic way possible.

This Chen Fei was at the Early Stage of the Open Heaven Realm, and even when he stopped the Heavenly Escape Talisman, his realms of cultivation did not change.

Since it was the Early Stage of the Open Heaven Realm, there were inherent limitations, such as the strength of the rule body, the richness of the elemental power and soul within, all of which were where Nan Longtu was stronger.

Injuring Chen Fei, making him hesitant, might just create an opportunity for survival.

“Clang!”

A massive wave of energy radiated from the point of impact between the weapons, sending countless rocks and boulders soaring into the sky, soon turning to dust.

Space began to ripple with wrinkles, followed by innumerable black spatial cracks spreading in all directions, frantically tearing apart everything around them.

Chen Fei stood unmoving, fully absorbing the rebounded force.

Nan Longtu also hadn’t taken a step back, but blood was already spurting from his seven apertures, and at least a third of his origin within him had dissipated.

However, rather than weakening, Nan Longtu’s aura rose to an extreme after the dissipation of his origin.

Starfall Frenzy Kill, the more grievous the injury, the higher the attack power, aiming to either incapacitate the opponent or to lie dying in the end.

In comparison to Xie Changxuan, Nan Longtu was stronger in a head-on assault. Xie Changxuan seemed more like a master of controlling the situation. Together, they indeed could demonstrate even greater power.

But unfortunately for them, Chen Fei had never given Nan Longtu and Xie Changxuan that opportunity today.

“Kill, kill, kill!”

Nan Longtu’s figure was pitiful, but his momentum was ruthlessly fierce. He launched a ferocious assault on Chen Fei’s soul, the Star Falling Blade raised high, initiating the attack as he chopped down towards Chen Fei.

The reckless are feared by the horizontal, and the reckless feared by the desperate.

Against an Open Heaven Realm who disregards all else and grows stronger with each injury, one with weaker courage or who fears sustaining severe injuries could indeed be psychologically impacted.

But unfortunately for Nan Longtu, he was facing Chen Fei.

With the various rules comprehended by Chen Fei as well as the powerful physique granted by Celestial Suppression, he feared no injury.

Even if his defenses were brutally penetrated, leaving Chen Fei on the brink of death, the Divine Power of Indestructible Vision would allow Chen Fei to remain at his peak for nine breaths.

Under such circumstances, the so-called “desperate” attack was nothing but a joke to Chen Fei.

Chen Fei flipped the Qianyuan Sword and thrust it forward. In the next moment, the Qianyuan Sword and the Star Falling Blade collided once more.

“Clang!”

A more piercing metallic sound of warping rang out than before, the violent energy stirring up the vital energy of heaven and earth for thousands of miles around.

“Puff!”

Nan Longtu spurted a mouthful of pale golden blood mist, his origin directly shattered by half, and this time, he could no longer stand his ground, forced to retreat.

The Starfall Frenzy Kill could make Nan Longtu grow stronger with combat, and this blade’s power was actually thirty percent greater than the last.

In Nan Longtu’s expectation, even if Chen Fei couldn’t be injured, the clash at the very least would be a draw.

But the actual situation was that Chen Fei’s sword possessed power much greater than the last, and even stranger was that within Chen Fei’s strike, Nan Longtu sensed a bit of his own power’s characteristics.

Using his own force against him?

Once reaching the Open Heaven Realm, controlling various rules, and being able to forcefully absorb the opponent’s power to reflect back?

What martial art was this?

Countless questions bubbled in Nan Longtu’s mind, much like earlier when the Heavenly Escape Talisman was intercepted, or when Xie Changxuan was killed by two swords; everything he encountered today was beyond Nan Longtu’s comprehension.

The Starfall Frenzy Kill grew stronger with injury, but this technique had its own limits. Currently with eight-tenths of his origin shattered, Nan Longtu was on the verge of death, already too weak to allow the Starfall Frenzy Kill to grow stronger with combat.

To get stronger, there was only one last move left, but after this move was executed, regardless of the opponent, death was certain for Nan Longtu himself.

It was the last shred of dignity granted by the Starfall Frenzy Kill.

Nan Longtu did not want to die, but at this moment, it seemed there was no other choice. At the very least, he could take a bite out of this human before death.

Nan Longtu looked up at Chen Fei, his eyes of despair replaced with the resolve to die.

Powering the Starfall Frenzy Kill, his entire strength ignited. In the next moment, the Star Falling Blade turned into a beam of light slashing towards Chen Fei.

“Boom!”

The entire space seemed to tremble for a moment, a thick spatial crack appearing at the intersection of the blade and sword.

Nan Longtu’s gaze was fixed on Chen Fei, intent on seeing him suffer a critical blow to his origin. His perception was extremely sharp right now; he could sense that his blade must have injured Chen Fei.

Chen Fei calmly looked at Nan Longtu. Chen Fei had indeed been injured, but with the Divine Power of Indestructible Vision, such a wound would always leave him at peak condition.

And with the Space and Strength Main Rules, they were rapidly repairing the injury at an astonishing rate, posing no significant issue.

Not seeing what he wanted to, Nan Longtu’s face instantly turned ashen, his willpower fading.

Nan Longtu staggered backwards, his mouth trembling as he tried to speak, when a streak of light flashed before his eyes, and his body came to an abrupt halt.

The tip of the Qianyuan Sword protruded from behind Nan Longtu’s head, Chen Fei holding it as he had no desire to listen to Nan Longtu’s last words and simply severed them with his sword.

Chen Fei withdrew his sword, and with reluctance in his eyes, Nan Longtu’s body fell backward.
