Chapter 1196: Chapter 1152: Shattering the Heavens
The Causality Rule within the Seventh Rank Celestial Suppression primarily functions to avoid deduction, and the infallible strike is merely an additional effect.
Yet for an ordinary practitioner at the Open Heaven Realm, even this additional effect is an unbearable force.
The so-called evasiveness becomes meaningless, leaving one no choice but to clash head-on.
However, going toe-to-toe with the Celestial Suppression, known for its focus on physical strength, is somewhat bullying.
The key issue was that Xie Changxuan had absolutely no idea that Chen Feiâs attack possessed such a characteristic, and by the time he reacted, it was already too late to mount much of a defense. As a result, he nearly took the full brunt of Chen Feiâs move.
With half of his origin shattered, even his rule body struggled to recover; just one move had inflicted severe injuries on Xie Changxuan, a practitioner in the middle stage of the Open Heaven Realm.
...
He was even on the verge of death.
âWhoosh!â
Without the slightest hesitation, Xie Changxuan turned to flee.
The Eight Gates Formation that was just deployed had been effortlessly bypassed by Chen Fei, proving completely ineffective. With Chen Fei demonstrating such an exaggerated level of attack, there was no point in continuing the fight.
Now Xie Changxuan realized the Xuan Clan had formed an alliance with the human race, not for the raceâs future prospects, but because they valued the raceâs current stand.
With Chen Feiâs level of battle strength, it was possible he could single-handedly break through the Xuan Clan. If the Xuan Clan didnât take this opportunity to build a good relationship with the human race, when else would they do it!
âDonât you run!â
Chen Fei watched as Xie Changxuan attempted to escape, distorting and twisting the space within a hundred miles, causing Xie Changxuanâs swiftly fleeing figure to slow down.
It wasnât that Xie Changxuanâs flying speed had decreased, but rather the space surrounding him was greatly stretched. This made him appear much slower to onlookers.
Xie Changxuan instantly sensed the change in the space around him, and his facial expression changed dramatically.
What realm of cultivation did this human, Chen Fei, reach in his past life, to have such a skilled control over the Space Rules?
Compared to Chen Fei, Xie Changxuan and Nan Longtu, who had killed a Great Power reincarnation centuries ago, were pathetically weak. That reincarnated Great Power fought desperately, only to seriously wound Nan Longtu.
As for Xie Changxuan, he was merely lightly injured at most and managed to kill the reincarnated Great Power on the spot.
Yet now, this human Chen Fei, upon their first encounter, dragged Nan Longtu hundreds of miles away and nearly brought himself to the brink of death with a single move.
It felt as if they were not facing someone at the early stage of the Open Heaven Realm, but rather a powerful late stage Open Heaven Realm practitioner.
âGet out of the way!â
Nan Longtu, seeing the situation from hundreds of miles away, exploded with power, his Star Falling Blade spinning in hand. The Concealment Bell was barely touched when its light dimmed and it emitted a mournful cry before flying back.
The two early-stage Open Heaven Realm warriors tried to resist, but faced with the almost desperate Nan Longtu, they were still slightly outmatched and were cut into pieces by the Star Falling Blade.
Nan Longtuâs aura briefly subsided as he took a step forward, intending to reach Xie Changxuanâs side.
Chen Fei had displayed extraordinary strength; Nan Longtu could choose to flee, but if he did, once Chen Fei killed Xie Changxuan, he would come after him.
The likely outcome would be Chen Fei breaking through them one by one.
However, if Nan Longtu chose to stand with Xie Changxuan, the combined strength of two middle-stage Open Heaven Realm practitioners should be able to withstand Chen Feiâs power.
This human, Chen Fei, was incredibly strong. The brief engagement had already made everything clear.
But Chen Fei was not invincible; his early-stage Open Heaven Realm cultivation stood evident. Despite having many techniques at his disposal, many of them remained unmanifested.
Nan Longtu and Xie Changxuanâs only mistake was to let Xie Changxuan go ahead to set up the formation.
Deep down, they thought that Chen Fei, merely at the early stage of the Open Heaven Realm, would not pose a significant threat, and even if Xie Changxuan couldnât kill him alone, trapping him should still be feasible.
This conservative approach turned out to be overly cautious, and they never expected such an accident to occur under those circumstances.
Nan Longtu traveled a hundred miles in an instant and had not yet reached Xie Changxuan when two figures appeared before him, along with the Concealment Bell which had been sent flying before; it now hung above the two figures.
At this moment, Nan Longtuâs expression truly changed.
The early-stage Open Heaven Realm Mirage Projection Technique, after being shattered, could still rapidly consolidate once more! What kind of Divine Power was this, and how could such a Divine Power exist?
Nan Longtu suddenly looked up into the distance, seeing Chen Fei already close to Xie Changxuan, with the sword in his hand slashing down.
Even over a hundred miles away, Nan Longtu could sense the overwhelming power on the sword blade. If he were in the same position, he would instinctively opt to avoid its edge rather than face it head-on.
But regrettably, it seemed that Chen Feiâs attacks could not be evaded, with only the option to receive them directly.
Presumably, it involved the Causality Rule or the Destiny Rules to some extent, and the level of mastery was so high to result in such an outcome.
An Open Heaven Realm early-stage cultivator possessing control over Space Rules, Causality Rule, as well as other Main Rules was extraordinary.
Shouldnât someone at the early stage of the Open Heaven Realm honestly focus on quickly enhancing the four Main Rules of Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind to rapidly advance their realm?
Countless thoughts flashed through Nan Longtuâs mind. Being dragged by the warriors, he couldnât catch up and could only watch helplessly as Chen Fei attacked.
A hundred miles away, hope had risen in Xie Changxuanâs heart, only to be replaced with utter despair.
Seeing that Nan Longtu hadnât abandoned him, Xie Changxuan felt that despite todayâs setbacks, he had at least managed to preserve his life.
But then, Nan Longtu was unexpectedly held back, resulting in Xie Changxuan having to face Chen Feiâs attack alone.
âAh!â
Xie Changxuan let out a silent scream, holding the Heavenly Steel Blade in front of him, while the power of the previously set Eight Gates Formation also protected his body.
The trapping formation had little effect on Chen Fei, but that didnât mean the power of the Eight Gates Formation was weak.
Xie Changxuan was caught off guard by the previous move and he couldnât believe that with his mid-stage Open Heaven Realm power, he couldnât block Chen Feiâs sword while on the defensive.
Chen Fei watched Xie Changxuanâs defensive posture, expressionless, simply flipping the Qianyuan Sword slightly. Thousands of sword shadows appeared behind him, then in a blink, they merged into one another.
The thousand sword shadows condensed into twenty sword traces that clung to the edge of the Qianyuan Sword, and then they hit Xie Changxuanâs Heavenly Steel Blade directly.
Thousand Realm Sword!
Directly transformed from the Thousand Realm Seal that Chen Fei had devised himself, whether it was Inscription or sword technique, there was no difference for him now.
With the Lanyu Divine Technique breaking through to the stage of perfection, the previous fifty Inscriptions of Thousand Realm Seal had now condensed into twenty, with the power contained within naturally soaring.
âClang!â
The sound of metal twisting to its extreme soared to the heavens, as the Qianyuan Sword cut through the obstruction of both the Heavenly Steel Blade and the Eight Gates Formation, sweeping straight through Xie Changxuanâs body.
Xie Changxuanâs body suddenly stiffened, looking at Chen Fei in disbelief. With his full defense, he still couldnât withstand a single strike!
A bitter smile appeared on Xie Changxuanâs face. He knew that danger would come one day while seeking fortune in danger, but he hadnât expected that day to come so soon.
âBoom!â
Xie Changxuanâs rule body could no longer hold together, instantly shattered, his life force extinguished.
Chen Fei pulled back his left hand, extracting a mass of spiritual essence. He deployed the Bronze Rune and God Devouring, feeling the alternating cold of body and soul, while reading the fragmented soul of Xie Changxuan.
A hundred miles away, Nan Longtu, watching the scene unfold before him, felt a chill spread from the soles of his feet throughout his body.
Xie Changxuan had already been on full defensive, yet he was still cut down by this human Chen Fei with a single sword.
Chen Fei used this Open Heaven Realm Mirage Projection Technique to separate him from Xie Changxuan, possibly not because he couldnât resist their combined strength, but simply because he found it more effortless to kill them separately.
That is to say, even if Nan Longtu had been able to make it there in time, to join forces with Xie Changxuan, the end result might not have been much different.
At most, the process might have been somewhat prolonged!
A talisman appeared in Nan Longtuâs hand, somewhat old and even partially damaged, but the aura emanating from it was still extremely shocking.
As Chen Fei read Xie Changxuanâs soul memories, he felt the change in aura from Nan Longtuâs direction, turned his head to look, and then saw the familiar talisman.
This resembled the talisman that Yue Luo, a friend of Wu Shihui from Meng City, had in his hand during that battle. Using that talisman, Yue Luo feinted an attack and then vanished without a trace, leaving several Meng Clan Open Heaven Realm warriors at the scene.
At that time, Chen Fei had a deep impression of this talisman, mainly because the Rules inscribed within were quite numerous, all tailored for escape.
Chen Fei hadnât expected that Nan Longtu would possess such a talisman as well.
In Xie Changxuanâs memories, there was no mention of this, which clearly indicated that Xie Changxuan also didnât know about this ace up Nan Longtuâs sleeve.
Although Nan Longtu and Xie Changxuan were close friends who had been through life and death together, they did not stay together all the time. Therefore, it was natural that they wouldnât know every detail about what the other held in reserve.
A hundred miles away, Nan Longtu looked at Chen Fei with a fierce glint in his eyes, then crushed the Heavenly Escape Talisman in his hand.
Nan Longtu didnât want to use the Heavenly Escape Talisman; it was too precious, something heâd obtained by chance and regarded as a second life.
Thus, Nan Longtu had wanted to join forces with Xie Changxuan to fight against Chen Fei, even contemplating whether it might be possible to kill Chen Fei.
But after witnessing that one sword from Chen Fei and the endless Open Heaven Realm Mirage Projections, Nan Longtu dared not hesitate and naturally rushed to escape from there first.
As for the future, now that he had learned of Chen Feiâs power and secrets, the next time they met, Nan Longtu vowed to leave Chen Fei with no place to be buried!
As the Heavenly Escape Talisman shattered, an overwhelming momentum shot up to the heavens, as if the next moment would bring a strike shattering the sky.
Chen Fei looked forward, raising his right hand and reaching into the void toward Nan Longtu, with the Space Rules within his body erupting to their limit.
