Cultivation: Start From Simplifying Martial Arts Techniques

Chapter 988: You’re Lucky
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“Thank you!”

Lu Shuzhang instinctively said upon seeing Chen Fei.

He had just sensed that Chen Fei was still several dozen miles away, so he was surprised to see him arrive so quickly after killing another Ice Clan member.

“Why are you thanking me? If it weren’t for you stopping him, he might have escaped,” Chen Fei said with a light laugh upon hearing Lu Shuzhang’s words.

Chen Fei waved his right hand, and more than thirty pieces of spiritual essence within a hundred miles flew into the Cangyuan Bell, along with over thirty middle-grade Celestial Treasures.

As before, Chen Fei reduced these Celestial Treasures to the size of dust and collected them into his sleeve.

“If I hadn’t intervened, he wouldn’t have escaped your killing blow either,” Lu Shuzhang said, looking at Chen Fei with a complex expression.

He admitted that Chen Fei was incredibly strong, and he felt a sense of admiration.

This admiration was so overwhelming that it had almost transformed into a sense of reverence.

Lu Shuzhang had never thought he would one day look up to someone of the same level as a Sun Moon Realm practitioner.

Even the peak Sun Moon Realm experts within the Qiankun Mansion had never made Lu Shuzhang feel this way.

Those at the peak of the Sun Moon Realm were merely individuals who had practiced longer than he had.

Given the same amount of training time, Lu Shuzhang believed he would not lose to anyone.

But today, looking at someone with less training time yet far surpassing him in combat strength, Lu Shuzhang felt only awe.

He knew that achieving such a level of accomplishment, where dozens of same-tier Sun Moon Realm practitioners were insignificant, was an extraordinary feat.

Moreover, Lu Shuzhang saw no sign of effort or strain in Chen Fei.

Killing a dozen or so Water Clan members previously was done with ease and grace.

Now he had killed thirty Ice Clan members effortlessly. He seemed to have no visible limit.

“It just so happens that the situation in the Glass Space has helped a bit,” Chen Fei said with a light smile and a shake of his head.

The collision of the Glass Space with the Return to Nothing Realm had distorted the rules.

Under normal circumstances, any foreign Sun Moon Realm practitioner would be suppressed by the Glass Space. There is still some suppression now, but it’s not as severe.

And since the Indestructible Vision can continuously adapt to the environment, the broken rules of this plane have allowed the Indestructible Vision to integrate even more thoroughly.

Thus, the suppression Chen Fei faced was likely the smallest among all Sun Moon Realm practitioners, almost negligible.

While other alien races faced suppression, you did not, which gave you an additional advantage.

Back when the Black Divine invaded the Boundless Sea, even though he scattered his source, he was still suppressed throughout, as the Boundless Sea was merely weakened but had complete rules.

Thus, among many Sun Moon Realm practitioners, he was eventually sealed due to various circumstances.

Had the Black Divine faced a plane with broken rules like the Glass Space back then and found a way to avoid suppression, the outcome against multiple Sun Moon Realm practitioners might have been different.

The presence or absence of plane suppression is a completely different matter.

Chen Fei was organizing his spoils, while the alien races observing from hundreds of miles away were left somewhat stunned.

Over thirty Ice Clan members had formed a formation, yet Chen Fei single-handedly pierced through it?

What was even more critical was that from the start of the battle to its conclusion, not even fifteen minutes had passed.

This included the time spent chasing down the fleeing Ice Clan members, making the actual time Chen Fei spent dismantling their formation even shorter.

What kind of person is this Human, Chen Fei?

Previously, Chen Fei had been reported as a genius of the Human race, recently rising to prominence within their territory and seen as a potential candidate for the Rule Integration Realm.

Now, observing Chen Fei’s speed and methods of killing, one would wonder if this was something achievable by a Sun Moon Realm practitioner of the same tier.

“I thought that if the Human race didn’t escape the Glass Space, they would be exterminated. Now it seems things have changed,” murmured a Sun Moon Realm practitioner of the Gong Clan.

As part of the Human Alliance, the Gong Clan could only seek self-preservation in the face of the Glass Space’s situation, too fearful to aid the Humans, lest they fall victim to the terrifying presence of Teng Li.

Currently, the greatest anomaly in the Glass Space was Teng Li, the fearsome entity capable of replicating nearly two hundred mid-tier Sun Moon Realm clones.

With orders followed and nearly two hundred mid-tier Sun Moon Realm practitioners controlled entirely by one soul, this was an unprecedented situation in the Glass Space. Apart from a few special perilous zones, no force could counter it.

However, another anomaly had appeared.

A single sword strike from Chen Fei had effortlessly slain over thirty Ice Clan members. The potential outcome of facing Teng Li’s Night Walkers with such power was becoming increasingly unpredictable.

Yet, visually, Teng Li’s nearly two hundred clones still seemed to hold the greater advantage.

Moreover, in addition to Teng Li’s own clones, other alien Sun Moon Realm practitioners were gathered together.

Upon sensing that Chen Fei had paused briefly before continuing, the watching aliens decided to follow.

They had already found all the rare materials and treasures available, so their only option for further gains was to explore the perilous zones.

The perilous zones had already swallowed a significant number of mid-tier Sun Moon Realm practitioners. Whether to venture into these zones required careful consideration.

Meanwhile, observing Chen Fei, this Human prodigy, from hundreds of miles away posed no real risk, so it made sense to follow and see how far Chen Fei could go.

The Glass Space was vast, and with over ten thousand mid-tier Sun Moon Realm practitioners from various races scattered across such a large plane, the distances between them could be immense.

However, news spread quickly within the Glass Space, especially as many Sun Moon Realm practitioners began to gather in the limited number of perilous zones, accelerating the dissemination of information.

Chen Fei’s earlier kills of several Forest Clan mid-tier Sun Moon Realm practitioners had not yet reached other alien races.

But with the recent news of Chen Fei’s simultaneous killing of sixteen Water Clan members, including descendants of their Emperor, word about Chen Fei began to spread.

At Egret Ridge, the news of Chen Fei single-handedly breaking the Ice Crystal Formation and killing all over thirty Ice Clan members spread through the Glass Space at an astonishing rate.

Not only among the aliens, but even among the constantly pursued Human Sun Moon Realm practitioners, news about Chen Fei began to circulate.

The Human Sun Moon Realm practitioners were naturally familiar with Chen Fei.

However, hearing about his feats was still hard to believe.

Although Chen Fei had consistently achieved remarkable results within the Qiankun Mansion, none were as exaggerated as what was being reported now.

In the Qiankun Mansion, there was still some semblance of fairness—one-on-one battles without the use of extraordinary treasures.

In the Glass Space, fairness was a different concept; the greatest fairness was simply surviving while others perished.

Chen Fei’s ability to dismantle the Ice Crystal Formation and leave no survivors felt almost like a fabricated story.

Many Human Sun Moon Realm practitioners even reacted with skepticism, suspecting that the alien races might be using such news to deceive them.

More and more alien races began to gather towards Taiyin Peak.

According to Chen Fei’s route, the final destination was uncertain, but it would certainly pass through Taiyin Peak.

Initially, the alien races, upon hearing the news about Chen Fei, had organized nearly fifty mid-tier Sun Moon Realm practitioners to ambush him.

After all, outside the Glass Space, the Evil Clan’s Emperor had instructed that if Chen Fei, the Human prodigy, was encountered, he should be killed on sight.

However, with the recent news coming in, even though there were fifty mid-tier Sun Moon Realm practitioners ready, the Evil Clans dared not rush into action.

Chen Fei had killed over thirty Ice Clan members in one go; killing fifty Evil Clans seemed entirely possible.

Most crucially, those who had truly witnessed Chen Fei in action were nearly all dead, leaving only Lu Shuzhang, another Human, still alive.

All other alien races remained several hundred miles away, watching from afar, too fearful to approach.

They feared that if Chen Fei grew excited from his killing spree, he might also take their heads.

At such a distance of several hundred miles, perceiving the results was the limit. Observing Chen Fei’s exact techniques was completely out of the question.

The unknown was the most terrifying aspect. None of the aliens knew what methods Chen Fei used to possess such terrifying combat strength.

Bamboo Valley

“Chen Fei, the Human prodigy?” Sui Zhu’s eyes narrowed slightly as he listened to the report from his subordinates.

Unfortunately, according to Chen Fei’s route, he would pass through Bamboo Valley and then travel seventy thousand miles to reach Taiyin Peak.

In other words, Chen Fei was currently heading towards their location.

“The Ice Clan is useless. Over thirty mid-tier Sun Moon Realm practitioners couldn’t kill a single Human and ended up being killed instead!” Sui Zhu sneered.

“Should we avoid this area first? The Evil Clans had previously assembled a group to ambush Chen Fei, but they later canceled and are now gathering directly at Taiyin Peak,” said a member of the Hill Clan.

“Teng Li of the Evil Clans is also going to Taiyin Peak?” Sui Zhu frowned.

“According to recent information, Teng Li is still at the Mountain God Temple in Suspended Peak Mountain.”

Sui Zhu ground his teeth, staring at Bamboo Valley. Having guarded this place for a while, he was reluctant to leave without a fight.

Moreover, the rumors about Chen Fei were growing increasingly exaggerated.

Sui Zhu even suspected that the Humans might be using some sort of trick.

However, the current situation was unclear. Facing Chen Fei alone was somewhat risky, despite the fact that he now had forty-seven Hill Clan members with him.

“Count yourself lucky; I’ll come back for you later!” Sui Zhu spat a foul-smelling glob of phlegm onto the bamboo leaves in the valley.

Kang Xingfeng stood within Bamboo Valley, watching Sui Zhu’s actions. He clenched his fists but eventually sighed in resignation.

“Let’s go to Taiyin Peak. We’ll see what kind of person this Human prodigy really is!”

Sui Zhu waved his hand and flew towards Taiyin Peak.

Once the various races at Taiyin Peak had dealt with Chen Fei, they could resume hunting the remaining Humans in the Glass Space.

“Why wait for Taiyin Peak? You can see my capabilities right now!”

A sudden voice came from behind, and a chilling sword intent instantly filled the air. Two figures approached Bamboo Valley at an astonishing speed.

“It’s Chen Fei! How could he arrive here so quickly?” a Hill Clan member exclaimed in shock.

According to previous reports, Chen Fei had been hundreds of thousands of miles away.

Sui Zhu’s expression changed, but his eyes soon turned cold and ruthless. Did they think he could be intimidated by mere reputation?

He, Sui Zhu, had been scared of nothing since he was a child!

“Shock Array!”

Sui Zhu roared. The other forty-six members of the Hill Clan quickly flew up, and a formidable aura began to coalesce above them. The formation was almost complete.

Suddenly, a figure appeared within the incomplete formation.

The cold white sword edge sliced through the air, striking a Hill Clan member’s body with a seemingly ordinary motion.

The Hill Clan member, displaying the battle awareness expected of a mid-tier Sun Moon Realm practitioner, pushed his Yuan power to its limits, creating an impenetrable shield around him.

Yet, the sword edge descended effortlessly, splitting him in two.
