Cultivation: Start From Simplifying Martial Arts Techniques Chapter 726: Heaven and Earth Weep Together

Chapter 726: Heaven and Earth Weep Together

“Such a powerful technique!”

Chen Fei’s gaze flickered. This was truly the pinnacle of Mountain Sea Realm martial arts, directly targeting the opponent’s soul. If one’s soul wasn’t strong enough, that last strike would have turned them into nothingness.

Luckily, Chen Fei’s Suppressing Dragon Elephant had already been cultivated to a certain degree. Under the protection of his mind and soul, Chen Fei hadn’t seen any other technique that could surpa.s.s Suppressing Dragon Elephant so far.

Xing Xinyang looked up at Chen Fei, his eyes filled with doubt and puzzlement.

He naturally saw the dragon elephant phantom behind Chen Fei just now. However, precisely because he saw it clearly, the doubt in Xing Xinyang’s heart grew deeper.

How could it be Suppressing Dragon Elephant again? When did the power of Suppressing Dragon Elephant become so great? Was the opponent really practicing the martial arts from the Dragon Elephant Stone Stele?

The Nine h.e.l.ls Refinement Technique was the orthodox martial art of the Saint Yan Sect. It was in no way inferior to those top-notch sects’ techniques. There were even rumors that the Nine h.e.l.ls Refinement Technique might have originated from the Nine h.e.l.ls Sect in the ancient times.

Nowadays, the Nine h.e.l.ls Sect had become history. But thousands of years ago, it was a sacred place on the Middle Continent, with strong individuals at the Sun Moon Realm suppressing the energy flow.

However, what had happened later was unknown. The Nine h.e.l.ls Sect had disappeared overnight, leaving behind countless resources and martial arts cla.s.sics, triggering chaos that had swept across the entire Middle Continent.

It could be said that the profundity of the Nine h.e.l.ls Refinement Technique had been unquestionable, far more powerful than Suppressing Dragon Elephant, which had been widely acknowledged within the Saint Yan Sect.

But now, even though Xing Xinyang’s realm had been higher and his martial arts stronger, it had been he who had suffered from the backlash of his own technique.

Xing Xinyang had stared at Chen Fei, the giant phantom behind him grasping Xing Xinyang with one hand, then flying towards the gate of the Saint Yan Sect.

Even the Hades Kowtow couldn’t have defeated Chen Fei. Xing Xinyang had had no other choice but to retreat temporarily.

Later, when Lu Fanglong, in the mid-stage of the Mountain Sea Realm, had arrived, whether in terms of realm or martial arts attainments, he had far surpa.s.sed Xing Xinyang.

Xing Xinyang hadn’t believed that Lu Fanglong’s arrival would have made any difference. He still couldn’t have defeated Chen Fei!

“You had your turn to make a move just now. It was only fair that I got a chance too!”

Seeing Xing Xinyang turn and flee, Chen Fei had chuckled softly. Stepping forward with his right foot, ripples had spread beneath his feet, and in an instant, Chen Fei had disappeared from where he had stood.

XingXinyang heard Chen Fei’s words but didn’t respond at all. He let the other party revel for a while. When Lu Fanglong arrived, Xing Xinyang wanted to see how the other would still dare to be arrogant.

Suddenly, a huge sense of dread welled up in Xing Xinyang’s heart. Suspicious, he sensed behind him and found that the place where Chen Fei had been before was now empty.

Xing Xinyang’s heart trembled. Looking up again, he saw a figure stepping out of the void, blocking his path. If it wasn’t Chen Fei, who else could it be!

Teleportation?

A look of incredulity flashed in Xing Xinyang’s eyes. At the same time, he understood how Chen Fei had silently left the gate of the Saint Yan Sect before.

With such talent and the removal of the mark at the original location, under normal circ.u.mstances, there would be almost no way to track him down.

However, the Saint Yan Sect had runes for tracking within that mountain, forcibly melting Chen Fei’s original mark, allowing Xing Xinyang to trace it.

But now, Xing Xinyang regretted it!

If he had known that the other party possessed teleportation talent, Xing Xinyang would never have chased after him alone. Even if he truly had greater strength, intercepting Chen Fei, who possessed teleportation, would have been very difficult.

Or rather, almost impossible!

And now, Xing Xinyang wanted to leave, but how could he escape the pursuit of someone with the talent for teleportation?

“The matter of the Dragon Elephant Stone Stele can be considered settled!” Xing Xinyang shouted loudly.

Facing life and death, Xing Xinyang no longer cared about his dignity and directly conceded.

Upon hearing Xing Xinyang’s words, Chen Fei remained expressionless. The Qianyuan Sword rotated, slas.h.i.+ng towards Xing Xinyang’s neck.

You say it’s settled, then it’s settled. This is about the Dragon Elephant Stone Stele. But just now, you tried to kill me with the One-Armed Hades Three Kowtows. Do you think a mere sentence can easily gloss over that?

Seeing Chen Fei unmoved and still attacking, Xing Xinyang’s heart trembled.

He had already intended to make amends, yet Chen Fei still wanted to kill him completely. Did he really think I had no other options left?

Xing Xinyang exerted force with his right hand, pounding his chest. His heart suddenly ruptured, and a large amount of blood began to flow backward. Xing Xinyang’s eyes turned blood red in an instant.

Xing Xinyang once again knelt on one knee, and the giant figure behind him followed his movements, also kneeling. They both kowtowed towards Chen Fei.

The One-Armed Hades Three Kowtows, Xing Xinyang had only completed the first kowtow.

But now, facing the terror of life and death, Xing Xinyang naturally ruptured his internal organs, burned his soul, and executed the second kowtow of the One-Armed Hades Three Kowtows.

As the giant figure kowtowed, heaven and earth seemed to weep, and sobbing sounds echoed in Chen Fei’s ears.

How dare someone accept the kowtow of the King of the Netherworld, committing such a grave offense, deserving death!

“Boom!”

The Qianyuan Sword slashed through the void, encountering what seemed like countless resistances ahead. Lightning flickered at the collision point, and the void trembled, as if it would shatter at any moment.

The giant figure paused halfway through its kowtow, intending to continue kowtowing but first needing to push aside Chen Fei’s Qianyuan Sword.

But at this moment, the Qianyuan Sword was not so easily pushed aside.

Forging the combined strength of Chen Fei and Xing Xinyang, the attack was nothing like that of a martial artist in the early stage of the Mountain Sea Realm.

Xing Xinyang’s body trembled violently. Burning his soul to complete the second kowtow of the One-Armed Hades Three Kowtows, he desperately tried to accomplish it, but no matter what, he couldn’t. As his soul continued to burn, a sense of powerless ensued in Xing Xinyang’s heart.

In the end, it was just a forcibly executed technique. Once the resistance became too great, it would be forcibly interrupted.

Cracks began to appear on Xing Xinyang’s forehead, growing larger and larger. Similarly, cracks appeared on the forehead of the giant figure behind him, spreading to its entire body.

Xing Xinyang struggled to lift his head to look at Chen Fei, his eyes filled with resentment. Whatever technique the other was using, it definitely wasn’t Suppressing Dragon Elephant!

Seeing the expression in Xing Xinyang’s eyes, Chen Fei remained silent. He took a step forward, accompanied by the roar of the Dragon Elephant within him. The Qianyuan Sword’s edge reversed and swept upward, directly aiming at Xing Xinyang’s neck.

Xing Xinyang wanted to dodge, but he had no strength left at this moment.

From the backlash of the first kowtow of the One-Armed Hades Three Kowtows to the forced interruption of the second kowtow, Xing Xinyang was already at the end of his rope.

While the Nine h.e.l.ls Refinement Technique was domineering against enemies, if one couldn’t control it, it would be extremely oppressive to the pract.i.tioner themselves.

“Chi!”

The blade sliced across Xing Xinyang’s neck. His body stiffened, and the majestic sword energy swept away all vitality within him. Amidst the mist of blood, Xing Xinyang’s body fell backward.

The giant figure behind Xing Xinyang disappeared instantly, and the aura of the earth and heaven weeping also dissipated in an instant.

Chen Fei swung his right hand, extracting the spiritual essence from within Xing Xinyang’s body, which surged into the Qianyuan Sword.

The spiritual essence possessed by the three Divine Palace Mountain Sea Realm pract.i.tioners was unimaginably vast, causing the Qianyuan Sword to tremble violently.

Just a few days ago, it hadn’t finished absorbing the spiritual essence from Tu Zaichuan, and now, an even stronger essence came in, causing the Qianyuan Sword to struggle somewhat.

The Concealment Bell sensed the changes in the Qianyuan Sword, its spiritual fluctuations, longing for that feeling of being unable to withstand it.

But unfortunately, the Concealment Bell had also made an appearance in the recent battle. Compared to the Qianyuan Sword, its contribution was undoubtedly much weaker.

Chen Fei used the Slaughter Spirit Technique to forcibly sever the surrounding aura. Holding the Phoenix Gold Blade, his figure flickered, appearing ninety miles away, then he consecutively teleported several times, now hundreds of miles away.

Chen Fei casually found a mountain cave and entered. First, he threw everything from the Phoenix Gold Blade into the Qianyuan Sword, then he took out the Concealment Bell and placed it against the Phoenix Gold Blade.

Regardless, the Saint Yan Sect was a truly major sect. Currently, Chen Fei didn’t have the real ability to resist it.

Among lower-grade spiritual treasures, the Phoenix Gold Blade was definitely among the top-tier. However, the aura belonging to the Saint Yan Sect on it was too conspicuous.

This was not something that could be modified in a short time, nor could it be sold just by changing its appearance.

If Chen Fei didn’t want to attract the pursuit of the Saint Yan Sect, it would be best to dispose of this Phoenix Gold Blade directly.

“Crack! Crack! Crack!”

The Phoenix Gold Blade emitted sounds of unbearable strain as the vast spiritual essence surged toward the Concealment Bell.

The Concealment Bell trembled with spirituality. It had just been thinking about when it would experience that feeling of being unable to withstand it again, and now it had come unexpectedly, without any preparation at all.

In less than a quarter of an hour, with a mournful cry from the Phoenix Gold Blade, this spiritual treasure shattered completely, turning into powder and disappearing.

As for the Concealment Bell, its light flickered irregularly. By forcibly devouring a spiritual treasure of equal caliber, or even one much stronger than itself, the spirituality of the Concealment Bell fell into a state of dormancy.

To awaken its spirituality again, it would have to wait until the Concealment Bell reluctantly digested and absorbed the spiritual essence it had just absorbed.

Chen Fei stored the Concealment Bell in his sleeve, contemplating the technique Xing Xinyang had just used. His mind stirred slightly.

The Nine h.e.l.ls Refinement Technique, an absolute top-tier technique, undoubtedly surpa.s.sed Chen Fei’s current Profound Demon Sword by a significant margin in terms of level.

Chen Fei began to browse through Xing Xinyang’s collection, not expecting to obtain the Nine h.e.l.ls Refinement Technique. For such sect-defining martial arts, it was absolutely impossible for disciples to carry them around so casually in spiritual treasures.

For wandering cultivators, it’s different. They’re often on their own, and if they don’t carry their techniques with them, storing them elsewhere isn’t safe either.

But for sects like the Saint Yan Sect, they have to prevent the possibility of their disciples’ techniques being leaked if they are killed.

After a moment, Chen Fei found a jade slip in his hand.

It wasn’t the Nine h.e.l.ls Refinement Technique, just as Chen Fei had expected. Such techniques couldn’t be carried around. However, while it wasn’t the Nine h.e.l.ls Refinement Technique, this jade slip contained many insights from Xing Xinyang’s cultivation.

Among them were mentions of the Suppressing Dragon Elephant technique, but more were focused on the Nine h.e.l.ls Refinement Technique. There were many fragments of the technique, even some original texts.

For others who obtained such insights, they could only borrow from them. Those fragments of techniques were impossible to form a complete cultivation system. Blind cultivation would undoubtedly lead to demonic cultivation in the end.

But Chen Fei had the System!

Chen Fei earnestly looked at the jade slip in his hand. Although it was only insights into cultivation, Chen Fei still spent over an hour slowly reading through it before finally raising his head.

“Discovered technique: Nine h.e.l.ls Refinement Technique (Fragmented)!”
