Cultivation: Start From Simplifying Martial Arts Techniques Chapter 1098: Chapter 1054: 11 Open Heaven Realm

Chapter 1098: Chapter 1054: 11 Open Heaven Realm

Typically, individuals in the mid-stage of the Rule Integration Realm are significantly weaker in strength compared to Chen Fei, which includes differences in martial arts and a substantial gap in physique.

Chen Fei activated the Bronze Rune to extract talent from Sha Feng and another individual.

The refreshing sensation in his soul lasted only a moment before it vanished completely.

Chen Fei had antic.i.p.ated this, knowing that true prodigies, even if their cultivation was not very high yet, would possess significantly greater battle strength than others of the same rank.

The battle strength of Sha Feng and the other was merely average at both the early and mid-stage of the Rule Integration Realm.

Next, Chen Fei used Divine Power to extract memory fragments from their souls.

A moment later, after completely extracting the memory fragments, Chen Fei collected the mystical treasures of Sha Feng and the others, grasping a spiritual essence of Sha He and flew back in the direction he had come from.

Now, roaming outside during wartime was not only dangerous, but encountering a Supervisor could bring even more troubles.

Shortly after, Chen Fei returned to the Wu Meng Clan’s encampment and presented the spiritual essence of Sha He.

Actually, the spiritual essence contained a lot of information. A supervisor in the Rule Integration Realm of the Wu Meng Clan took one look at the spiritual essence in Chen Fei’s hand and allowed him to return to the encampment.

At that moment, not many from the Rule Integration Realm had returned to the camp; hundreds of miles away, the battles involving the Sun Moon Realm and Rule Integration Realm armies were still at their most intense.

Initially, the Black Stone Domain had no grievances with the Xuan Clan, but with the casualties in the Sun Moon Realm and Rule Integration Realm growing, there were no grievances turned into deadly enmities.

This was precisely the goal of the Wu Meng Clan—to fully drag the Black Stone Domain into the war and make it impossible to remain neutral.

The Xuan Clan understood this well; it was an overt scheme but still, they pressed their va.s.sal races into brutal combat.

The Wu Meng Clan must be destroyed. All beings standing in the way of the Xuan Clan, even innocent beings, were to be killed as well.

Focusing only on outcomes without regard to right or wrong, such is the nature of the Return to Nothing Realm.

As time trickled by, the casualties in the Black Stone Domain from the Sun Moon Realm has already exceeded twenty thousand, and the battlefield for the Rule Integration Realm was vast and still unclear, but the estimated casualties were also near a thousand.

In the Black Stone Domain, what were once considered top forces in the Rule Integration Realm now resembled flotsam on the battlefield, vulnerable to overturning at any moment.

Chen Fei observed for a moment and found that the casualties of the human race were also extremely heavy, and he couldn’t help but sigh deeply.

After thinking for a while, warriors at the pinnacle of the Sun Moon Realm began to appear behind Chen Fei and then charged into the human clans’ army.

Warriors of the early Rule Integration Realm level were too conspicuous for Chen Fei to deploy. After all, the cultivation realm he outwardly displayed was only early Rule Integration Realm.

Also, in such a level of war, warriors with merely two fragments of rules had very limited utility.

It was better to have one hundred eight warriors from the Sun Moon Realm to provide some protection for the human clans’ Sun Moon Realm army.

But this protection was only slight and did not solve many substantive issues.

The surrounding Rule Integration Realm individuals looked at Chen Fei surprisingly, recognizing the Divine Power of Planting Beans into Soldiers.

However, training each warrior to the pinnacle of the Sun Moon Realm was no small feat.

Yet, these Rule Integration Realm observers merely glanced Chen Fei’s way before turning their attention elsewhere.

Chen Fei’s name as a prodigy had long echoed throughout the entire Black Stone Domain, and employing warriors at the peak of the Sun Moon Realm might seem excessive, but it was not unacceptable.

One hundred eight warriors stood on the front lines of the human clans’ Sun Moon Realm army and the effect was quite apparent, immediately alleviating the rate of casualties in the Sun Moon Realm.

Chen Fei didn’t need these warriors to deploy the Desolate Universe G.o.d Devouring Sword; merely using the previous Sun Moon Realm’s Desolate Night G.o.d Slaying Sword was enough, turning each into a top contender like those ranked first in the Age Tower.

In the most dangerous and vulnerable places, the warriors would stand firm.

From time to time a warrior would dissipate, but immediately a new warrior would be condensed by Chen Fei’s side and then teleported by him onto the battlefield.

Gathering warriors of the Sun Moon Realm was a minimal drain on Chen Fei.

In the rear, Wu Ze, a peak Rule Integration Realm individual from the Wu Meng Clan, glanced at Chen Fei and then looked away.

Having been in the Black Stone Domain for several months, a single Wu Meng Clan member was far more powerful than the combined forces of the entire Black Stone Domain.

However, the Wu Meng Clan still collected information about the basic situation in the Black Stone Domain.

No matter how little they thought of the entire Black Stone Domain’s strength, it was still necessary to understand some details of the Rule Integration Realm.

The name of Chen Fei, a member of the human race, had widely spread in the Black Stone Domain recently, and naturally, the Wu Meng Clan had also gathered this news.

However, after reviewing the information on Chen Fei, the Wu Meng Clan did not take any special actions; neither trying to woo him nor being particularly wary.

In the Black Stone Domain, Chen Fei’s talent was outstanding and attracted much attention, but to the Wu Meng Clan, this young human still had many obstacles to overcome.

The Peak of the Rule Integration Realm, a mere barrier, was known to stop many prodigies.

In the Wu Meng Clan, advancing from the late stages of the Rule Integration Realm to the peak of the Rule Integration Realm is extremely difficult, even with guidance from those in the Open Heaven Realm.

Moreover, in the Black Stone Domain, to cultivate from the early stage of the Rule Integration Realm to the late stage and then break through to the peak, the fastest record also takes nearly a thousand years.

Now that the Black Stone Domain is in a state of war, who has a thousand years to grow? You might be killed before you ever reach that point.

And even if you do break through to the peak of the Rule Integration Realm, what then?

There are over a hundred peaks in the Rule Integration Realm throughout the entire Black Stone Domain. Have they changed the current state of the Black Stone Domain? Not at all!

With so many at the peak, none can even achieve a proper breakthrough to the Open Heaven Realm. What difference would one more make?

Moreover, the gaps between individuals at the peak of the Rule Integration Realm can sometimes be vast.

Take Wu Ze, for example. He has fully mastered three secondary rules, and he is comprehending a fourth.

With such strength, he easily defeats those who have only comprehended one secondary rule—the most common type at the peak of the Rule Integration Realm in the Black Stone Domain.

If Wu Ze can comprehend the fourth secondary rule and ultimately refine it, then he can break into the Open Heaven Realm.

From the perspective of the Wu Meng Clan, only those in the Open Heaven Realm are worthy of a true dialogue with the Wu Meng Clan.

And that’s just for dialogue. To be considered equals, wait until your clan has as many in the Open Heaven Realm as the Wu Meng Clan does.

Or you could directly break through to the middle stage of the Open Heaven Realm; then you could indeed discuss matters as equals with the Wu Meng Clan.

Until then, the so-called prodigies and those at the peak of the Rule Integration Realm are insignificant in the eyes of the Wu Meng Clan.

This is the att.i.tude of the Wu Meng Clan—arrogant, yet realistic, based entirely on their own strength.

Those around in the Rule Integration Realm occasionally glance at Chen Fei, not expecting that just an additional one hundred and eight warriors could significantly reduce the number of casualties in the Human Clan’s Sun Moon Realm army.

If initially they were marveled by the realm of the warriors when they saw Chen Fei’s ability to create soldiers from beans, now they are astonished by the battle strength exhibited by these peak Sun Moon Realm warriors.

With such a small squad added, not only fearing death but also possessing an exaggerately high battle strength, the Xuan Clan’s army began to subconsciously avoid the Human Clan.

Knowing it’s tough to deal with yet still insisting on engaging is one thing, but not when it brings significant casualties.

On the other hand, there are those in the Rule Integration Realm who, seeing this, take the initiative to intercept Chen Fei’s warriors.

Indeed, they could wipe out one or even several at a time, but Chen Fei doesn’t use much essence force to form more warriors, so no matter how many you destroy, he can still continue forming them.

And soon, Human Clan members in the Rule Integration Realm rushed forward, holding off the opposite Rule Integration Realm forces, allowing Chen Fei’s warriors to once again charge into the army.

Chen Fei had never intended for his warriors to break into the Xuan Clan’s formation. Many of his attacks were more about improving defense, ensuring that the losses in the Human Clan’s Sun Moon Realm were not so severe.

Chen Fei, while forming more warriors to maintain their numbers, was also checking out two mystical treasures he had recently acquired.

The number of low-grade Primordial Crystals was decent, a bit over thirteen thousand. The spirit materials weren’t particularly surprising either, just ordinary Sixth-Tier low-grade and mid-grade, worth about seventy thousand low-grade Primordial Crystals.

For Chen Fei, what was more valuable than Sha Feng’s two Rule Integration Realm materials were some intelligence reports about the Xuan Clan.

The Qing Clan belongs to one of the Xuan Clan’s Va.s.sal Clans, and this relationship has persisted for several hundred thousand years.

As high-ranking members of the Qing Clan, which is in the Rule Integration Realm, Sha Feng and his companion naturally have a considerable understanding of the Xuan Clan.

A total of eleven powerful figures in the Open Heaven Realm, two more than the nine in the Wu Meng Clan.

In a racial war, having two more in the Open Heaven Realm clearly shows the stronger versus weaker dynamic. This is why, after years of conflict, the Wu Meng Clan had to retreat to the Black Stone Domain.

If not for a strong middle-stage Open Heaven Realm figure within the Wu Meng Clan suffering only minor injuries and being fiercely powerful, the Wu Meng Clan might not have been able to retreat to the Black Stone Domain and could have been completely destroyed.

Eleven in the Open Heaven Realm versus nine, with variations in strength even among those in the Open Heaven Realm, the Xuan Clan holds an advantage over the Wu Meng Clan, but not overwhelmingly so.

The intelligence about the Xuan Clan from the souls of Sha Feng and his companion was limited to this much—after all, as a Va.s.sal Clan, they couldn’t access much confidential information.

Even the exact number of those in the Open Heaven Realm among the Xuan Clan, whether there aren’t hidden stronger figures, Sha Feng and his companion couldn’t confirm.

Just like in the Black Stone Domain’s Rule Integration Realm, seeing nine Open Heaven Realm figures appear in the Wu Meng Clan doesn’t guarantee that this is all they have.

Apart from the information on the Xuan Clan obtained from the souls of Sha Feng and his companion, what remained were the two martial arts they practiced.

They held no value for refining, since the rules they mastered were about flesh power, an area in which the Human Clan already had seven Emperor Realm legacies focused on this practice.

Chen Fei briefly sorted through the items within the two mystical treasures, then turned his gaze toward a piece of spirit material inside the Concealment Bell.

Scripture Scroll Soil!

This was the reward promised by the Ice Race and Evil Clans for Sun Guangyuan’s a.s.sa.s.sination attempt on Chen Fei, and now it was in Chen Fei’s possession.
