Chapter 1101: Chapter 1057: Open Heaven and Earth

Wu Yue’s figure stiffened, his eyes filled with disbelief as he died at the hands of this human, after being suppressed by him for so long.

Chen Fei withdrew his sword, and Wu Yue’s body wavered for a moment before collapsing onto the ground.

Only at this moment did the binding power of the chessboard truly fall upon Chen Fei, and as Chen Fei had slain a person from the Rule Integration Realm, an option to leave appeared in his perception.

By killing one from the Rule Integration Realm, he could leave?

Chen Fei naturally did not hesitate and chose to leave.

The pulling force of the chessboard changed, directly teleporting Chen Fei’s body to the outside, next to Wu Han.

“What are you doing out here!” Seeing Chen Fei appear, Wu Han frowned immediately, her impatience clear in her tone.

“Killing an opponent from the Rule Integration Realm allows one to choose to leave the chessboard…”

“Go back, before the game is over, come out again, and you’ll be slain!” Wu Han waved her hand and cut Chen Fei off.

Chen Fei’s brows furrowed tightly, his gaze turning back to the chessboard where he saw the Hill Clan’s Rule Integration Realm member, who had also been slain, indeed had returned to the chessboard.

So Wu Han’s earlier promise of surviving and avoiding a year of conflicts was actually contingent on waiting for the chessboard game to completely conclude.

Truly, she did not regard the lives of the Rule Integration Realm from the Black Stone Domain as important.

Chen Fei looked at Wu Han, sensing the Rule Integration Realm Peak power of the Wu Clan hundreds of miles away, as well as the constant vigilance of Indestructible Vision, feeling an overwhelming sense of dread.

In this region, there existed power surpa.s.sing the Peak of Rule Integration Realm; this power was watching this place. If Chen Fei made even the slightest inappropriate move, probably the next moment, a world-ending power would descend.

Chen Fei said no more, glanced at Wu Han, and with a flash, returned to the chessboard as the restraining power of the chessboard fell upon him again.

The force of the chessboard pulled Chen Fei, spanning nearly a hundred miles, to another lake where there awaited a mid-stage Rule Integration Realm member of the Tan Clan.

Chen Fei’s eyes narrowed. He found he had been somewhat optimistic about Wu Han’s chess skills, which could previously ensure equality of cultivation realm between opposing pieces.

As the game continued, the shortcomings in Wu Han’s chess skills became increasingly apparent, to the point where she could no longer guarantee a fair match of realms.

The only advantage was that in this region, the control of the environmental forces had fallen into Chen Fei’s hands.

Fighting against someone of lower cultivation realm, even with the bolstering of environmental forces, could not change the disparity between their realms.

Outside, Wu Han watched the situation on the chessboard, her frustration rising continuously, yet she was utterly helpless.

Wu Han had always believed her chess skills were not inferior, but facing Tu Ying today, she realized her skills were much weaker.

Facing the relentless pressure from Tu Ying, Wu Han was left only with the ability to defend.

Chen Fei having to face a mid-stage Rule Integration Realm was not actually Wu Han’s intention.

Although she did not care about the life and death of the Rule Integration Realm members from the Black Stone Domain, the outcome of the chess game was tied to her brother’s life; Wu Han could not joke about that.

As for that human from the Rule Integration Realm, he had good potential, but whether he lived or died was his fate.

Within the chessboard, Chen Fei looked at the opposite mid-stage Rule Integration Realm member from the Tan Clan, and a.s.sessed the whole chessboard situation again.

In just the brief time that had pa.s.sed, many new changes had occurred in the game; judging by this trend, Wu Han’s side had no chance left.

Even though Wu Han’s side had far more Rule Integration Realm members at the beginning than Tu Ying’s.

There was no possibility of a turnaround, unless Chen Fei showed his true strength, but if he did so, he might face a thorough investigation by the Wu Meng Clan afterward.

Chen Fei twirled the Qianyuan Sword in his hand, the environmental forces around the lake beginning to weaken the opposing Tan Clan member, then Chen Fei stepped back, standing at the edge of the lake.

“Don’t struggle in vain!”

Ou Zheng of the Tan Clan stared at Chen Fei, taking several steps and rushing towards him.

As Ou Zheng moved, Chen Fei also moved.

The s.p.a.ce Rules swelled on the path of Ou Zheng’s advance, instantly expanding and then naturally collapsing, with all manipulations of the rules completed in a moment.

Ou Zheng had not even managed to react, and Chen Fei’s control over s.p.a.ce had already ended.

This fleeting control over s.p.a.ce normally wouldn’t hinder Ou Zheng at all, for the duration of the s.p.a.ce control was too short.

Yet, this brief manipulation of s.p.a.ce, coupled with the supportive forces of the environment, actually caused a deviation in Ou Zheng’s direction of advancement.

Several miles covered in a few steps, a slight deviation at the start would lead to a significant difference in the end.

Moreover, Chen Fei’s manipulation of s.p.a.ce had no regular pattern; this irregular layering of s.p.a.ce momentarily allowed Chen Fei to constantly maintain a distance from Ou Zheng.

While this distance was rapidly decreasing, it ultimately bought Chen Fei quite a bit of time, and the duel of chess pieces was constrained by time.

Ou Zheng looked coldly at Chen Fei. Being a mid-stage Rule Integration Realm facing an early-stage Rule Integration Realm in an inescapable environment, if he still let him escape, it would become a joke.

Finally, Ou Zheng cut off all of Chen Fei’s options for escape, his spear glinting like a streak of light, aiming at Chen Fei’s head.

“Clang!”

The Qianyuan Sword was sent flying in a dramatic arc, and Chen Fei spewed a mouthful of blood, his body slamming harshly into the lake below, instantly spreading mist in all directions.

Ou Zheng frowned slightly; this spear thrust had, unexpectedly, not killed this member of the human race.

The surrounding s.p.a.ce, rippling with wrinkles, was the result of this human’s release of force.

In the manipulation of the s.p.a.ce Secondary Rules, this human had exhibited a high level of achievement. Unfortunately, his basic realm was insufficient, and no amount of skill could bridge their current power disparity.

If one spear thrust couldn’t kill him, then several more would!

Just as Ou Zheng was about to plunge into the lake, the diffusing mist around him trembled slightly, then transformed into countless illusory figures of Chen Fei, fleeing in every direction.

Ou Zheng paused slightly; these numerous illusions were clearly a variant application of the natural forces, quite profound.

Ou Zheng was momentarily confused. By the time he recovered, Chen Fei had already made it to the other side of the lake.

Ou Zheng turned his gaze toward Chen Fei, his eyes narrowing slightly, marveling that someone in the early stage of the Rule Integration Realm could be so difficult to kill.

A moment later, with Chen Fei severely injured, the confrontation ended.

Ou Zheng had failed to kill Chen Fei and before leaving, he fixated his gaze on Chen Fei as if trying to memorize his face and aura.

Bound by the power of the chessboard, Chen Fei once again began to move within the game, soon encountering a member of the Miao Clan who was also in the early stage of the Rule Integration Realm.

Seeing that it was another early stage Rule Integration Realm cultivator, Chen Fei breathed a slight sigh of relief.

There was no need to pretend so strenuously anymore; after all, justifying how someone from the early stage could reasonably escape from the hands of someone in the mid-stage required a lot of reasons to support it.

Now “severely injured,” Chen Fei faced another early-stage cultivator, opting for primarily defensive tactics; after all, it was unreasonable to expect him, wounded as he was, to kill another Rule Integration Realm cultivator.

As Chen Fei was still struggling to defend against the attack of the Miao Clan’s Rule Integration Realm, the entire chessboard suddenly trembled slightly, and the surrounding binding power vanished, throwing Chen Fei out of the chessboard.

In a dizzying whirl, Chen Fei appeared next to Wu Han, along with four other Rule Integration Realm cultivators.

All bore injuries, but Chen Fei’s “severe wounds” were not the most serious among them.

“Hahaha, Wu Han, it seems you won’t be able to save your brother after all!” Tu Ying taunted loudly from the other side.

Wu Han looked at the five of them with significant dissatisfaction before turning to Tu Ying.

The next moment, a ma.s.sive column of light streaked across the sky and struck where Tu Ying stood, causing his body to tremble slightly and then shred into pieces.

But soon, a hundred miles away, Tu Ying’s figure reappeared unscathed.

Suddenly, the celestial wood darkened, and a hand that overshadowed the sun descended from the sky toward Wu Han’s position.

Seeing the hand, Chen Fei’s soul shook violently, Open Heaven Realm!

Wherever the hand pa.s.sed, s.p.a.ce seemed to undergo a recreation, as in the opening of the heavens and earth. In front of this hand, even the peak of the Rule Integration Realm was but dust, easily erased in a flash.

If such a hand were to hit Chen Fei, there would be no chance for a blood rebirth, for his whole being would be pulverized into nothingness, leaving no opportunity for such a resurrection.

Perhaps only by relying on the message entrusted in the void could Chen Fei be reborn.

Wu Han, watching the descending hand, had all traces of cold detachment gone from her face, replaced only with reverence.

This was the ancestor personally intervening to save Wu Jia and eradicate several Rule Integration Realm cultivators from the Xuan Clan at the same time.

“Buzz!”

Within a thousand miles, s.p.a.ce suddenly vibrated slightly, and in Chen Fei’s view, it was as if a hand had adjusted the rules within that radius.

A scar-like tear in the void appeared abruptly in front of the giant Open Heaven hand, the two colliding silently.

The Open Heaven Realm of the Xuan Clan had arrived.

Suddenly, the whole world grew silent, all sounds ceasing, leaving only the countless fines cracks appearing in the celestial wood, those of the Return to Nothing Realm’s s.p.a.ce barrier being shattered.

Though the cracks were momentary, they were still horrifying.

This was the first time Chen Fei had seen the s.p.a.ce of the Return to Nothing Realm cracked; the Rule Integration Realm couldn’t achieve this, as the most Chen Fei had seen in peak Rule Integration Realm duels was severe s.p.a.ce quakes.

Far from being shattered, there was still quite a distance.

Suddenly, Chen Fei’s expression subtly changed, and he positioned the Qianyuan Sword in front of him; a ma.s.sive surge then swept over him, hurling him far away.

A dazzling light surrounded Wu Han, shielding her from the surge and leaving her unscathed.

The light protected only her, with no regard for the other five Rule Integration Realm cultivators from the Black Stone Domain. Wu Han wasn’t about to bother about them.

Having lost the game, her chess skills might not match Tu Ying’s, and these Rule Integration Realm cultivators from the Black Stone Domain had also disappointed her, proving to be merely from some minor place.

Following the force, Chen Fei drifted for hundreds of miles but continued to watch the celestial wood.

How should one break through from the peak of the Rule Integration Realm to the Open Heaven Realm?
