Cultivation: Start From Simplifying Martial Arts Techniques

Chapter 934: Contempt
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The transformation of the Divine Power Seed into a full Divine Ability represented a significant change for someone in the early stage of the Sun Moon Realm.

Not only did it enhance one’s power, but it also greatly improved the perception of the natural energy and the surrounding atmospheric forces.

Thus, as the power of the Dust Law Sword increased, Sikong Jun immediately sensed it.

Originally, his mood had slightly expanded due to the transformation of the Divine Power Seed, but it was instantly suppressed by Chen Fei’s strike.

Sikong Jun had no time to think further. He stepped forward and leaped to the Seventh Heaven of the Heavenly Ladder.

At this position, Sikong Jun could only reach up to the highest point he could currently attain; the Eighth and Ninth Heavens required further advancement in his cultivation to be accessible.

Even so, the Seventh Heaven of the Heavenly Ladder still significantly boosted Sikong Jun’s internal power.

The Azure Sky Blade turned into a several-mile-long streak and collided with the Dust Law Sword.

Below the arena, the spectators watched intently, especially those like Shen Yongding who were about to step onto the arena, their expressions solemn.

The transformation of the Divine Power Seed into a complete Divine Ability was their strongest move.

Under normal circumstances, this move could easily crush others in the early Sun Moon Realm.

Unless the internal source point had truly transformed, it was not much different from many in the mid-stage of the Sun Moon Realm.

In fact, in such a state, one could even exchange a few moves with those in the mid-stage of the Sun Moon Realm without falling into a major disadvantage in the short term.

However, Chen Fei was clearly an exception, as his strength was extraordinarily high.

Though both were in the early Sun Moon Realm and Chen Fei’s Divine Ability had not fully transformed, his combat power was still far superior.

“Boom!”

A massive spherical force field formed between the Azure Sky Blade and the Dust Law Sword. The next moment, the spherical force field shattered, and Sikong Jun’s face turned pale as he was involuntarily sent flying backward.

At the Seventh Heaven of the Heavenly Ladder, Sikong Jun could no longer rely on the ladder’s divine power to dissipate the force and had to passively absorb the terrifying power of the Dust Law Sword.

“Bang!”

Sikong Jun crashed onto the arena floor with a muffled thud.

The floor of the arena remained unscathed, but the rebound force hit Sikong Jun, causing him to spew a large mouthful of blood.

The violent force within his body seemed on the verge of tearing him apart.

Sikong Jun looked up and saw Chen Fei’s Dustless Law Form had already moved ahead. The several-mile-long Dust Law Sword soared into the sky and then fiercely descended.

The terrifying power carved a massive sword mark in the air. Even before the sword struck, a powerful force field enveloped the surroundings, making movement difficult.

Sikong Jun focused on the Dust Law Sword. Suddenly, the Heavenly Ladder behind him appeared in front of him. Sikong Jun stepped forward.

In the next moment, Sikong Jun vanished, crossing over the Dust Law Sword and even penetrating the outer layer of the Dustless Law Form, directly arriving in front of Chen Fei’s real body. He raised the Azure Sky Blade and struck at Chen Fei.

The Dustless Law Form was extraordinarily powerful and clearly a condensation of Chen Fei’s Divine Ability.

Attacking Chen Fei’s real body through the Dustless Law Form would undoubtedly have unexpected effects.

The Heavenly Ladder, being able to ascend to the heavens, naturally could also penetrate space.

Although the distance couldn’t be too great, this several-mile space penetration was definitely feasible.

Seeing this scene, many onlookers couldn’t help but be slightly impressed.

Sikong Jun’s move was indeed clever, and the Heavenly Ladder’s power was also quite profound. Otherwise, it would not have been able to penetrate Chen Fei’s Dustless Law Form.

At this moment, facing Chen Fei’s real body directly, the outcome was still uncertain!

Chen Fei was also somewhat surprised by this development, not expecting the Dustless Law Form to be so easily penetrated.

It wasn’t that the Dustless Law Form was too crude, but rather that the Divine Abilities of the Sun Moon Realm were inherently full of extraordinary powers.

Moreover, the Heavenly Ladder was a complete Divine Ability, while the Dustless Law Form was just a technique Chen Fei devised using his own strength, not even a real Divine Power Seed.

Now, being penetrated by the Heavenly Ladder revealed a flaw in the Dustless Law Form, which could actually be seen as a good thing.

“Voom!”

The Azure Sky Blade struck the Qianyuan Sword, and before the sound could even reach the spectators, ripples spread outwards.

Seeing the Qianyuan Sword remain unmoved, Sikong Jun’s eyes widened in disbelief.

Chen Fei’s face held a faint smile as he swung the Qianyuan Sword forward.

Sikong Jun desperately exerted more force to stabilize the Azure Sky Blade, but the blade was ultimately swept aside, leaving a large gap in front of him.

A tremendous sense of dread filled Sikong Jun’s mind, and he instinctively raised his left hand to block.

In the next moment, a flash of light exploded in Sikong Jun’s vision. His left arm first felt a sharp pain, then went numb, followed by a sudden loss of sensation in his chest.

From the perspective of the spectators, Chen Fei simply raised the Qianyuan Sword and struck at Sikong Jun.

First, the Azure Sky Blade was cleaved apart, and then Sikong Jun’s arm, chest, and everything else in the way of the sword’s edge were sliced through, turning into a mist of blood.

“Bang!”

Sikong Jun was hurled like a shooting star and crashed onto the arena floor.

He was first bounced by the ground, sending countless blood droplets into the air, and then rolled for hundreds of meters before finally coming to a stop.

The blood stained the ground for hundreds of meters, creating a grim scene. Sikong Jun was left in a severely injured, near-death state.

Sikong Jun struggled to lift his body, his whole frame trembling violently from the exertion.

“Boom!”

The strain on his wounds caused Sikong Jun to cough up another mouthful of blood.

Looking down at his chest, Sikong Jun saw that a large portion was missing.

If Chen Fei applied any more force, Sikong Jun’s entire chest would vanish, and decapitating him would be a simple matter.

In other words, Chen Fei had shown mercy with that last strike; otherwise, Sikong Jun would now be lying dead on the ground.

“I… concede!”

Sikong Jun looked up at Chen Fei and managed to say through gritted teeth.

Severely injured and nearing death, Sikong Jun could barely make out Chen Fei’s figure, seeing only a blurred shadow ahead.

It felt as if facing a demonic god, with life and death at the opponent’s whim.

“Thank you for your hard work!” Chen Fei bowed slightly to Sikong Jun.

Since there was no personal vendetta, there was no need to take his life.

Sikong Jun began using contribution points to heal his wounds before flying out of the arena.

Defeated so thoroughly, Sikong Jun would have left immediately under normal circumstances.

However, the competition in the arena was not yet over. Besides him, there were still eleven others, each the top in their respective branches of the early Sun Moon Realm.

Before the match, Sikong Jun would never have believed that Chen Fei could defeat all twelve of them or even win two or three matches in the end.

Given his previous losses, his confidence had waned, and he had expected to lose every match going forward.

But now, as Sikong Jun neared death at Chen Fei’s hands, he realized there truly were such monstrous opponents.

Even with his Divine Power Seed fully transformed, he was still overwhelmed.

No, it wasn’t just being overwhelmed; throughout the fight, Chen Fei had only used a few strikes, and Sikong Jun had nearly died in the arena.

Sikong Jun could not bear the thought of being the only one so thoroughly defeated; he wanted to see the others suffer similarly to restore his sense of balance.

The crowd observed Chen Fei on the arena with a mix of expressions.

The one thing they all shared was a complete reversal of their previous opinions about Chen Fei.

At first, when Chen Fei challenged the top Sun Moon Realm cultivators from eleven other divisions, they thought he was arrogant to the point of being outrageous.

Two days ago, news emerged that Chen Fei had even set a personal record of twelve consecutive victories.

This news elevated Chen Fei from merely arrogant to outright contemptuous in their eyes.

He seemed to disregard all other cultivators of the same rank from the other divisions.

They had come to the arena today not only to place their bets but also to witness the spectacle of Chen Fei’s downfall.

Chen Fei was undoubtedly a prodigy, but it was precisely because of this that they were eager to see his failure.

Now, however, it was no longer a spectacle of failure but rather a show of Chen Fei beating the top Sun Moon Realm cultivators from each division.

Many of them looked towards Shen Yongding and the others, who exchanged glances, their expressions solemn and grim.

The power Sikong Jun had demonstrated, even after the transformation of his Divine Power Seed, was likely the best any of them could manage.

Of course, some had Divine Abilities focused on offense and might be slightly stronger in that regard.

But even that slight increase would be insufficient to withstand the power Chen Fei had just shown.

For those with defensive abilities, it was even less hopeful; they could at most block a few more attacks but would ultimately still be defeated.

Those with abilities focused on mobility might have a chance to evade for a while.

The arena spanned a few hundred miles; it wasn’t too large or too small, and some evasion was possible.

Yet, given Chen Fei’s demonstrated prowess, it seemed they would still lose in the end, only delaying the inevitable.

The feeling of knowing defeat even before stepping into the arena was quite disheartening.

“You three, come up together!” Chen Fei addressed the arena’s edge calmly.

Based on Sikong Jun’s displayed strength, Chen Fei estimated that he could handle up to four opponents simultaneously.

“Three?”

Hearing Chen Fei’s challenge, Shen Yongding and the others were momentarily stunned, followed by a surge of indignation.

In a one-on-one match, they honestly admitted they couldn’t match Chen Fei.

But three against one—did Chen Fei truly underestimate them?

A single combat versus a group assault were completely different matters.

Shen Yongding, with a serious expression, moved swiftly onto the arena, joined by Rong Zhongrui and Du Quanzhi. The others were delayed and left outside the arena.

Since Chen Fei had made such a challenge, they couldn’t afford to back down; it would be too humiliating.

Moreover, they intended to show Chen Fei that his arrogance would lead to trouble!
