Cultivation: Start From Simplifying Martial Arts Techniques Chapter 607: Tyrannical

Chapter 607: Tyrannical

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation | Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

In Chen Fei’s mind, there emerged four profound insights into martial arts, which were already pushing the limits of his understanding. Adding another set of martial arts would overwhelm him, as he could no longer absorb any more insights.

This was quite different from before when he had hundreds of insights, albeit all from the same martial art, but with significant variations.

Chen Fei also possessed a secret soul technique that he hadn’t had time to practice, making it difficult to balance everything.

However, this soul technique was more about touching upon the soul rather than fully cultivating it, making its effects weak, if not negligible.

This technique was closely related to the incomplete nature of the soul technique. Even in the heart of the Boundless Sea, the fully intact soul techniques didn’t yield significant results.

Outside the Sea Dominion City, amidst the surging winds and clouds, Chen Fei was fully immersed in his practice.

After another ten days pa.s.sed, he achieved Great Completion in the Blood Refining Art.

Standing in the practice room, Chen Fei sensed the changes brought about by the Great Completion of the Blood Refining Art. After a moment, he activated the monsteric blood imprint on the back of his hand, and a thick aura of a monster beast filled the surroundings.

Removing his martial aura, the scent of sea monsters became even stronger. Chen Fei looked at the scene before him in surprise. After achieving Great Completion in the Blood Refining Art, he unexpectedly brought out some of the characteristics contained within the Evil blood.

If someone were observing from afar at this moment, they would probably mistake the place for being inhabited by a mid-level third-tier sea monster. This intense activation required Chen Fei to expend both mental energy and elemental power. However, simulating a mid-level third-tier sea monster was well within Chen Fei’s capabilities at the moment.

After a moment, the sea monster’s aura inside the room gradually dissipated, and Chen Fei looked back at his hand. The monster blood imprint there had ’ dimmed significantly.

Evidently, this kind of activation would also consume the power within the imprint.

However, the essence blood of a mid-level third-tier sea monster was not hard to come by in the Sea Dominion City at the moment if Chen Fei wanted to purchase it.

After some consideration, Chen Fei got up and walked out of the practice room. Standing on the street, Chen Fei looked around with some surprise The atmosphere in the city was much lighter compared to before, undoubtedly due to recent events.

Chen Fei established contact with his clone, understanding the situation.

Four peak-level third-tier sea monsters had been killed in one fell swoop, and their bodies had already been transported back to the Sea Dominion City. Many martial artists were eagerly purchasing monster flesh.

Chen Fei’s eyes showed astonishment. These were peak-level third-tier sea monsters, with strengths even surpa.s.sing those of ordinary Pinnacle Combined Aperture Tempering realm experts.

Yet, they were all taken down in one strike.

During the last siege of Sea Dominion City, Gu Danying unexpectedly killed a peak-level third-tier sea monster of the turtle species with the Mountain Sea Realm Sword Intent stored within her blade. That was considered the greatest achievement of that battle.

But now, the results had unexpectedly risen to this level.

Although many people in the Sea Dominion City didn’t openly express it, there was still a lingering sense of pessimism in their hearts. News of deaths of Combined Aperture Tempering realm experts occasionally circulated, further amplifying this sentiment.

As for the number of deaths among the Aperture Tempering realm pract.i.tioners, it was even higher.

And this achievement was enough to inspire everyone within the Sea Dominion City. Although the ultimate outcome of the battle still depended on the conflict between the Combined Aperture Tempering realm and the fourth-tier sea monsters.

But with fewer peak-level third-tier sea monsters, the pressure on Sea Dominion City would undoubtedly be alleviated somewhat, especially for those in the Combined Aperture Tempering realm.

Chen Fei ventured into the marketplace and inquired at several shops until he found a seller offering the blood of a peak-level third-tier sea monster.

Compared to monster flesh, the demand for monster blood was slightly lower as the elemental energy contained within monster flesh was undoubtedly greater.

After purchasing the monster blood, Chen Fei returned to his practice room and attempted to refine the blood of the peak-level third-tier sea monster using the Blood Refining Art.

It was somewhat difficult. Despite mastering the Blood Refining Art to Great Completion, Chen Fei’s cultivation was still only in the later stages of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm. There was still quite a gap between the elemental power he could provide and that of a peak-level third-tier sea monster.

Fortunately, monster blood was ultimately an inanimate object, and Chen Fei only needed to refine a small amount onto his hand. After an hour of effort, Chen Fei finally managed to integrate the monster blood.

Observing the imprint on the back of his hand, Chen Fei first suppressed his own aura, then activated the imprint.

“Hum!”

A wave of energy emanated from Chen Fei’s body, and the aura of a peak-level third-tier sea monster instantly filled the entire practice room.

It was heavy, majestic, yet tinged with a hint of madness.

The first two characteristics were typical of a peak-level third-tier sea monster’s aura, while the madness was caused by the fragmented soul carried within the monster blood.

Having been slain, this peak-level third-tier sea monster would undoubtedly be driven mad. By activating the imprint, Chen Fei also brought forth this madness.

However, as a result, if someone were to sense this aura from afar, they would think that the peak-level third-tier sea monster was in a state of rage.

Chen Fei suppressed the sea monster’s aura and gazed at the imprint on the back of his hand. At the moment, this imprint didn’t enhance his combat abilities in any way.

However, in certain special circ.u.mstances, it could likely yield unexpected effects.

With the Blood Refining Art perfected, Chen Fei could finally begin practicing the Soul Breaking Technique.

The Soul Breaking Technique, due to its incomplete nature, would directly drain the qi and blood from the body during regular practice.

When Chen Fei saw Xiao Guangji’s emaciated appearance in the Black Divine Domain, it wasn’t an accident but the inevitable result of practicing the incomplete Soul Breaking Technique.

“Soul Breaking Technique (Incomplete) simplification in progress… Simplification successful… Soul Breaking Technique (Incomplete) transformed into Dream Entry Technique!”

Simplifying the incomplete Soul Breaking Technique cost Chen Fei over a hundred middle-grade elemental stones, making it slightly more expensive than the Profound Heavenly Sword. Clearly, according to the interface, the level of the Soul Secret Techniques was higher than that of ordinary elemental techniques.

The result of the simplification was the Dream Entry Technique, which was something Chen Fei hadn’t antic.i.p.ated.

This meant that if Chen Fei had initially obtained the complete Dream Entry Technique, it might have been a technique of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, with a complete soul cultivation system.

However, unfortunately, the Dream Entry Technique Chen Fei obtained was only twenty percent complete, even more incomplete than the Soul Breaking Technique.

Time flew by, and another three days pa.s.sed. Just as the one-month rest period for Chen Fei’s mission was coming to an end, his clone also reached Great Completion in the Shadow Escape Technique.

Chen Fei slightly activated the Blood Refining Art, blending his aura, and left the Sea Dominion City.

Three hundred miles outside the city, Chen Fei slew a mid-level third-tier sea monster with a single sword strike. This crab-like sea monster didn’t even comprehend what was happening before its consciousness faded into oblivion. A bit farther away, a lower-level third-tier sea monster witnessed this scene. Its already enormous eyes seemed on the verge of popping out as it immediately turned and fled into the sea in a frenzy.

It couldn’t accept the fact that a mere Combined Aperture Tempering realm early-stage martial artist had effortlessly slain a mid-level third-tier sea monster. The sight was too overwhelming for the lower-level third-tier sea monster to handle.

Stepping forward, Chen Fei’s figure blurred and then vanished.

The next moment, a figure seemed to materialize out of thin air in front of the lower-level third-tier sea monster, and a sword pierced its forehead.

The mighty and fierce sword energy completely pulverized the flesh and blood within its body, leaving only a intact monster core.

But even though the monster core remained intact, its consciousness had long been obliterated by the sword energy. This lower-level third-tier sea monster naturally couldn’t survive.

With a gesture of his right hand, Chen Fei caught the monster core, his figure blurring and disappearing once more, only to reappear beside the crab-like sea monster from earlier.

Teleportation!

Chen Fei had become proficient in using the Teleportation technique, and the constant practice in the training room over the recent period had further enhanced his mastery of it.

As a result, Chen Fei’s teleportation distance had increased compared to the initial seventeen miles.

A shadow emerged from behind Chen Fei, revealing his clone.

With a gesture of his right hand, the spiritual essence from the crab-like sea monster was directly infused into Chen Fei’s clone.

Chen Fei’s clone, originally at the peak of the Aperture Tempering realm, abruptly broke through and leaped into the Combined Aperture Tempering realm. As the clone continued to digest the spiritual essence, its aura continued to rise.

Finally, the clone’s aura stopped at the position of the second stage of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, almost reaching the peak of the initial stage of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm. Another step forward, and it could enter the mid-stage of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm.

“Swoosh!”

Chen Fei’s clone wielded a lower-grade magical weapon, sweeping it forward with a surge of sword energy that seemed to connect heaven and earth.

Without a physical body, the clone couldn’t benefit from the Profound Suppresing Dragon Elephant, but with the Great Completion-stage Profound Heavenly Sword, its strength far surpa.s.sed that of an ordinary initial-stage Combined Aperture Tempering realm martial artist.

Although it couldn’t achieve the same level of dominance in the initial stage of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm as Chen Fei once did, even the top geniuses among the major factions would likely be defeated by the clone after a hundred moves.

Half an hour later, Chen Fei’s clone appeared at the residence of the Primordial Sword Sect.

Qu Qingsheng and the others looked at Chen Fei with some confusion, unsure why his main body had come here.

“This is my clone,” Chen Fei said with a smile, seeing the puzzled expressions of Qu Qingsheng and the others.

“Clone?”

Upon hearing Chen Fei’s words, Qu Qingsheng and the others couldn’t help but widen their eyes slightly. They had clearly sensed the aura of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, so how could it be a clone?

The clones mentioned in the Primordial Sword Scripture usually only possessed less than thirty percent of the strength of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm. The fact that Chen Fei had previously granted his clone the power of the peak of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm had already surprised them greatly.

However, that was somewhat within their acceptance range. After all, they didn’t understand the subtleties of Combined Aperture Tempering realm techniques, as the clone technique was just a powerful Combined Aperture Tempering realm clone technique.

But having a clone with the strength of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm was truly astonishing. Even though they didn’t understand the Combined Aperture Tempering realm much, they could still grasp how difficult it was to have a Combined Aperture Tempering realm clone.

To some extent, this meant that their sect had directly gained an additional Combined Aperture Tempering realm combat power, which was of great significance.

“Will this attract the attention of others?” Qu Qingsheng suddenly worried.

“It’s possible. Therefore, my clone usually presents itself as an Aperture Tempering realm pract.i.tioner. However, you all know the true strength of my clone now.”   ’

Chen Fei nodded as the clone’s aura decreased and settled at the peak of the Aperture Tempering realm.

Carrying the secret comes with its risks, but if others were to uncover it it wouldn’t be a big issue. Chen Fei was already fearless against ordinary factions.

As for the top factions, if they truly desired this technique, Chen Fei didn’t mind selling it at a high price in exchange for resources.

For true powerhouses, the improvement in combat effectiveness from this technique is minimal.

Moreover, the difficulty of cultivation is extremely high. Without the innate talent of someone like Chen Daoheng, who reached enlightenment, one can only cultivate their clone to the peak of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, even if it’s their limit.

Twenty days later, Chen Fei was practicing in a secret chamber.

Suddenly, a huge power fluctuation swept through the Sea Dominion City The city’s defensive formation shook violently, causing even the training chambers to tremble incessantly.

Chen Fei opened his eyes, his figure flickering as he appeared on the streets of the Sea Dominion City. Looking towards the south, he saw that the elemental energy of the heavens and earth there had become completely turbulent.

A beam of light radiated from Chen Fei’s brow, and in his black and white vision, the distance was continuously drawn closer.

There, the auras of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm and fourth-tier sea monsters soared into the sky!
