Cultivation: Start From Simplifying Martial Arts Techniques Chapter 1112: Chapter 1068: A Fight to the Death?

Chapter 1112: Chapter 1068: A Fight to the Death?

Seeing Chen Fei’s hand motion come to a halt, Xing Gong’s fearful expression gradually returned to normal.

“Killing a Soul-devouring Worm will mark you for the entire group. You can’t imprison us either, for if Soul-devouring Worms are separated from the swarm for a long time, they will still track us down.”

The corners of Xing Gong’s mouth curled up involuntarily, well aware of the dominance of the Soul-devouring Worms that almost all beings in the Return to Nothing Realm knew of.

Lacking absolute power, when faced with the vengeful Soul-devouring Worms, the only option was to give way.

Being parasitized by Soul-devouring Worms meant losing much freedom, but conversely, it also meant gaining a life-saving charm.

Moreover, the Worm King of the Soul-devouring Worms had promised that as long as one stayed near their swarm for a thousand years, they could eventually regain their freedom.

This was not a hollow promise, for the group of Soul-devouring Worms had been in the Return to Nothing Realm for countless years, with scavengers coming and going, indeed many scavengers eventually gaining their freedom.

They could wantonly ma.s.sacre and plunder other slightly weaker races, and upon facing mortal threats, they could reveal the Soul-devouring Worm larvae within them, even harboring hopes for future freedom.

For these reasons, the number of scavengers behind the Soul-devouring Worms always remained very high.

Most of them were desperate and notorious villains who sought refuge with the Soul-devouring Worms and indeed managed to survive in the Rule Integration Realm.

“Let us go now, and we will leave immediately. Otherwise, if we end up with both the fish dead and the net broken, that wouldn’t be good,” Xing Gong threatened Chen Fei with a steely gaze.

Smiles also spread across the faces of the two Rule Integration Realm beings beside Xing Gong.

They had encountered this situation a few times before.

Of course, being so easily immobilized by an early-stage Rule Integration Realm pract.i.tioner to the point where they couldn’t even move was indeed a first for them.

This human was somewhat peculiar. After returning, they intended to sell the news to other scavengers, who would surely be high-cultivation scavengers interested in this human.

Any being targeted by those scavengers, unless protected by a seventh-level Open Heaven Realm, would surely die!

“Annihilation together?”

Chen Fei looked at the three scavengers, his gaze calming, and in the next moment, a streak of black light flashed by and the three scavengers disappeared into thin air.

Chen Fei stepped forward with his right foot, also vanishing from sight, only to reappear in the Cangqiong Domain.

Even at the point of life-and-death struggles, letting the enemy go was simply an impossibility for Chen Fei.

Moreover, the very fact that these scavengers were willing to be parasitized by Soul-devouring Worms revealed their true nature.

If Chen Fei were to really let these three scavengers go, he would surely face more attacks from other scavengers later on.

Because of the Soul-devouring Worms, was Chen Fei expected to endure their attacks and never strike back to kill?

“Where are we?”

Startled by the sudden change of location, the three scavengers were taken aback.

Realizing what Chen Fei intended to do, Xing Gong glared at him and shouted,”Chen Fei, don’t make a mistake. If you kill us, you will absolutely die, and it may even implicate your entire human race!”

“That’s not for you to worry about!”

Chen Fei shook his head as the s.p.a.ce chains binding the three scavengers suddenly tightened, unleashing a terrifying force that erupted immediately.

The three scavengers’ eyes involuntarily widened, their bodies trembling slightly, crushed into mist by the dreadful power of s.p.a.ce in an instant.

“Hiss!”

A sharp hissing sound rose as the three young Soul-devouring Worms within the scavengers’ bodies struggled violently amidst the blood mist.

Chen Fei had indeed attempted to separate the Soul-devouring Worms from Xing Gong and the others.

At heart, Chen Fei didn’t wish to have any dealings with the group of Soul-devouring Worms, mainly because their current power was too overwhelming, and his meager strength simply couldn’t withstand it.

But as Xing Gong and the others’ vitality waned and the three young Soul-devouring Worms lost their hosts, after struggling intensely for a short time, they also perished.

Three extremely concealed pulsations rippled from the bodies of the deceased worms.

If Chen Fei weren’t in the Cangqiong Domain at the moment, completely under his control, he truly wouldn’t have felt this faint pulsation.

This subtle, silent ripple swept over Chen Fei’s body but was blocked by a layer of black light.

This was the power of a Power Rule Fragment. After colliding for a moment, the ripple was unable to corrupt Chen Fei’s body.

Then the ripple scoured the entire Cangqiong Domain, seemingly trying to break free, but was entirely blocked by a barrier formed from the Power Rule Fragment.

Seeing this, a slight smile appeared on Chen Fei’s face.

The Yuan Clan truly deserved its reputation as a race that even supreme races were wary of in the past, their Celestial Suppression martial arts fundamentally superior to all others.

The dying mark of the Soul-devouring Worms was indeed secretive, likely undetectable even to a Sixth-Tier Rule Integration Realm being, even though it was only young Soul-devouring Worms performing such a mark.

Such were the racial talents of the Soul-devouring Worms.

Yet they were suppressed by a race with even higher innate traits, the Yuan Clan.

Celestial Suppression, its ultimate stage reaching the ninth stage, allowed one to condense a complete rule of strength within one’s physique at the seventh tier.

After all, it was the rule of power, one of the main rules that ranked within the top few in the void, there was no reason it would lose to Soul-devouring Worm larvae that hadn’t even reached the Mountain Sea Realm.

Chen Fei extended his right palm, and the bodies of the three Soul-devouring Worms exploded into a cloud of blood mist.

As the Bronze Rune functioned, a fissure opened at Chen Fei’s brow, and six rays of light entered into it.

A cool sensation permeated Chen Fei’s soul; the talent enhancement brought by Xing Gong and the other two was minuscule, almost negligible.

The talents stolen by the three Soul-devouring Worm larvae were actually quite ordinary, even inferior to those of Xing Gong and the others, but within the Soul-devouring Worm’s talents, the predisposition towards s.p.a.ce Rules was extremely obvious.

Previously in Jiguang City, the Soul-devouring Worms had directly captured the fluctuations of the teleportation formation, and they had even been able to intrude into the spatial rift of the teleportation formation along those fluctuations, demonstrating the sensitivity of this clan to the s.p.a.ce Rules.

Now, as Chen Fei absorbed some of the talents from these three Soul-devouring Worms, he found that his comprehension of the s.p.a.ce Rules had significantly strengthened.

It wasn’t just comprehension; when Chen Fei extended his right hand and slightly manipulated the s.p.a.ce Secondary Rules, he found himself somehow closer to the s.p.a.ce Rules, to some extent.

Chen Fei closed his eyes, perceiving the rhythm of the s.p.a.ce Rules, and after a short time, he opened them again.

The s.p.a.ce Secondary Rules that Chen Fei was currently comprehending were, in total, three: “Big,” “Small,” and “Solid.”

Although his comprehension of the three s.p.a.ce Secondary Rules continued to grow, in his heart, Chen Fei actually had no idea which secondary rules composed the complete s.p.a.ce Main Rule.

The Main Rule of s.p.a.ce was so vast that Chen Fei, being of the human race, did not have a high affinity with s.p.a.ce Rules, one could even say it was very low.

The fact that he was constantly mastering three s.p.a.ce Secondary Rules was wholly due to the power of his panel and had nothing to do with the innate traits of his race.

Thus, without the guidance of martial arts, Chen Fei could not perceive which secondary rules made up the s.p.a.ce Main Rule.

But just moments ago, following the partial absorption of the talents from the three Soul-devouring Worms, Chen Fei now felt a sense of hierarchy in the s.p.a.ce Rules, if only vaguely.

It wasn’t conspicuous, but compared to the previous blur, this was already a huge advance.

“Soul-devouring Worms!”

A contemplative look appeared in Chen Fei’s eyes; he securely stored the mystical treasures from Xing Gong and the others and started to sift through their soul memories using G.o.d Devouring.

However, possibly due to being parasitized, the souls of Xing Gong and the other two were astonishingly fragmented.

A short time later, Chen Fei vanished within the Cangqiong Domain.

In reality, a streak of black light flashed, and Chen Fei’s figure appeared midair.

Perceiving that the warning from Indestructible Vision had not abruptly intensified, it was clear that slaying the Soul-devouring Worm did not result in a mark being placed on Chen Fei.

Chen Fei turned into a rainbow light and continued flying forward, slightly deviating from his original direction.

The innate traits related to s.p.a.ce of the Soul-devouring Worms were quite good, but Chen Fei didn’t want to collide with the ma.s.sive swarm of Soul-devouring Worms behind him.

With Chen Fei’s current power, even with all his cards laid out, he could not break through the collective defense of a swarm of Soul-devouring Worms.

That characteristic of distributing damage across all the worms, the greater their number, the more exaggerated their defense against attack, was just too insurmountable for someone in the Rule Integration Realm.

After a short time, Chen Fei felt the warning from Indestructible Vision start to decrease, clearly diverging from the path of the pursuing Soul-devouring Worms.

Chen Fei’s expression slightly relaxed as he looked up ahead.

The journey to Pianyi City spanned millions of miles, and even at the speed of the Rule Integration Realm, it would take a considerable amount of time.

Chen Fei looked down at the Concealment Bell in his sleeve, which still housed many residents of Jiguang City.

If it weren’t for the unsettled wilderness of the Black Stone Domain and the roaming Soul-devouring Worms, Chen Fei would have liked to find a secluded place to cultivate in seclusion.

Every day of cultivation now could rapidly increase Chen Fei’s strength.

Having only secluded himself for half a month in Jiguang City, the fragments of rules within Chen Fei’s soul had increased from fifty-eight to sixty-two.

Four fragments of rules in half a month; that meant eight in a month.

Cultivation for others in the Rule Integration Realm, naturally, would not increase in such a linear fashion—it always slows down further along.

But Chen Fei, cultivating in the state of small Open Heaven Realm, along with the a.s.sistance of his panel, opened up the restriction of slow soul growth that struggled with bearing the fragments of rules.

That special state of kindling Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind enlivened Chen Fei’s soul like never before, without any downside, and was extremely miraculous.

Following this pace, Chen Fei estimated that he would soon break through to the late stages of the Rule Integration Realm, and by that time, the Desolate Universe G.o.d Slaying Technique was likely to reach Great Completion as well.

Chen Fei continued flying in the direction of Pianyi City for some tens of thousands of miles, then suddenly turned his head to look to the side.

In Chen Fei’s perception, over three thousand miles away, there were fluctuations from a battle in the Rule Integration Realm.

With the deepening comprehension of the s.p.a.ce Secondary Rule “Solid,” Chen Fei’s perceptive distance became longer and longer.

Chen Fei’s figure flashed, heading towards the area of combat.

Within it, there were fluctuations from a human of the Rule Integration Realm; another seemed like it came from the Evil Clans.

When Chen Fei was still a thousand miles away from the battlefield, the human Rule Integration Realm’s aura dissipated.
