Cultivation starts from simplifying the exercises

Chapter 2234 Supreme Power

That pure power of the Great Dao's origin surged forth from that spiritual material like a burst dam, instantly filling the small array.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Fei reached out, and the array, which was only about a mile in diameter, suddenly collapsed and contracted inward.

In a mere instant, the array that covered an area of ​​one mile was compressed into the size of a speck of dust, hovering above the spiritual material.

"boom!"

Chen Fei's aura surged instantly.

A terrifying pressure erupted from his body. The surrounding space, unable to withstand this sudden burst of terrifying power, began to violently distort and deform.

Chen Fei's blue robe fluttered and rustled even without wind. In his eyes, the two chaotic nebulae spun even more violently, as if they wanted to devour the entire world.

This scene unfolded in the blink of an eye.

From the moment Chen Fei opened his eyes, to the formation taking shape, to the spiritual material being collected into his sleeve, to the compression of the formation, the infusion of primordial power into his body, and the surge in his aura...

The whole process was so fast it was dazzling and overwhelming.

The six men led by Yuwen Xuan came to an abrupt halt in their charge.

They all froze on the spot, their faces showing disbelief and horror.

"He can draw upon the power of the Great Dao's origin again?"

"Wasn't it already restrained? How did he break through?"

"The grand array he just set up, covering hundreds of thousands of miles, was just a decoy. His real purpose was to test how to use high-ranking spiritual materials to leverage the power of origin."

"He actually succeeded?"

Not only Yuwen Xuan and his six companions, but also the hundreds of millions of cultivators in the capital were all stunned at this moment.

The entire capital city fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone stared blankly at the imposing figure in blue robes in the sky.

They were just lamenting the collapse of Chen Fei's formation, worrying about his loss of his source power, and some were even gloating, believing that he was bound to lose this time.

But in the blink of an eye, Chen Fei proved them wrong with his actions.

He not only regained the ability to borrow the power of the source, but this time his method of borrowing the power of the source was even more exquisite than before.

He no longer needs to rely on the special environment of the Nine Realms. As long as he has that complete spiritual material, he can leverage the power of the primordial energy of the Blazing Sun World anytime, anywhere.

What level of mastery of formations is this? What level of control over the soul is this?

Just as everyone was stunned and bewildered by Chen Fei's sudden reversal, Chen Fei had already taken a step forward.

Overcoming the barriers of space, Chen Fei appeared directly in front of Yuwen Xuan.

This speed is incredibly fast.

Before Yuwen Xuan could even recover from his shock, he saw a long halberd shrouded in chaotic mist, carrying the force of splitting the heavens and earth, slashing fiercely down towards his head.

The sound of the halberd whistling through the air was like thunder from the heavens, exploding in Yuwen Xuan's ears.

Yuwen Xuan was, after all, one of the top geniuses in this Grand Competition of Ten Thousand Sects. Although he was shocked, his reaction was not slow at all.

The moment Chen Fei's halberd struck down, the immense imperial power within his body surged wildly into the Heavenly Sword in his hand, like boiling magma.

Imperial Supreme Ruler!

Yuwen Xuan roared, and the sword in his hand, the Heavenly Sword, burst forth with a dazzling purple-gold light. An imperial aura, commanding the four seas and dominating the eight wastelands, erupted from the sword.

Holding the Heavenly Sword, he advanced instead of retreating, and slashed out with his sword.

This sword strike seemed to embody the fate and destiny of the entire dynasty. With a single stroke, mountains and rivers changed color, and the sun and moon lost their light. It was as if the entire world, along with this sword, was pressing down on Chen Fei.

Now that things have come to this point, even if Chen Fei has regained the ability to borrow the power of origin, Yuwen Xuan will never back down in the slightest.

He could either kill Chen Fei and eliminate him from the game, or he could be defeated by Chen Fei and leave the world of Yanyang with resentment.

If he continued to back down and hide, Yuwen Xuan couldn't bear the shame.

Just as Chen Fei and Yuwen Xuan were about to collide, the other five finally snapped out of their shock.

Although they were still filled with disbelief, there was no time to think about it anymore.

Now that Chen Fei has regained the ability to borrow the power of origin, their previous plans are completely useless. Now, all they can do is fight Chen Fei to the death with all their might.

Ling Qingxue let out a sharp cry, and the Hun Tian Silk transformed into a flowing curtain of light, carrying an extreme chill capable of freezing the soul, enveloping Chen Fei.

Tang Yin played the jade flute horizontally, and an invisible sound wave, like the sharpest blade, cut through space and attacked Chen Fei's ribs.

The five top-tier half-step Heavenly Monarchs attacked simultaneously at the very moment Chen Fei and Yuwen Xuan were about to clash.

Various attacks, like a raging storm, surged towards Chen Fei from all directions.

They needed to seize the moment when Chen Fei was locked in a fierce battle with Yuwen Xuan, when his old strength was exhausted and his new strength had not yet been generated, and deliver a fatal blow to him.

However, Chen Fei's expression remained completely unchanged in the face of this terrifying siege that could instantly engulf any half-step Heavenly Monarch.

He simply twirled the halberd in his hand.

The Chaos Halberd, which was originally aimed straight at Yuwen Xuan, suddenly expanded its attack range under Chen Fei's exquisite control.

This circle perfectly encompassed all of Ling Qingxue's and her group's attacks.

He was determined to withstand the combined attack of six top-tier half-step Heavenly Monarchs on his own.

"boom!"

A terrifying roar, seemingly capable of shattering the entire world, exploded within the ninth level of the Blazing Sun World.

At the center of the collision, a blindingly bright light erupted, more intense than the sun. That light seemed capable of devouring everything, obscuring all surrounding colors.

Immediately afterwards, an indescribable, terrifying energy shockwave swept wildly in all directions.

Wherever it passed, the space that had been repeatedly reinforced by the laws of the blazing sun world began to twist and deform violently, groaning under the unbearable burden.

Even at the very core of the collision, several extremely tiny black dots appeared.

That was the void turbulence revealed after space was forcibly shattered.

Although those few black dots were only the size of a pinhead and vanished in an instant, they were quickly suppressed and repaired by the powerful laws of the Fiery Sun World.

But their appearance is enough to prove that the power of the collision just now had reached a terrifying level that could threaten the stability of this space.

In this earth-shattering collision, six figures, like kites with broken strings, flew backward in different directions.

The first to be affected was naturally Yuwen Xuan.

The sword in his hand trembled with a mournful cry, and the purple-gold light on its blade dimmed by more than half in an instant.

He coughed up a mouthful of blood and flew backward uncontrollably. His right hand, which was gripping the sword, was split open and bleeding profusely; he could barely hold the sword.

While Ling Qingxue, Tang Yin, and the other four were in a better situation than Yuwen Xuan because they were not Chen Fei's primary targets, they were still shaken by the terrifying backlash, causing their blood to churn and their bodies to become unstable.

The attacks they launched were instantly crushed and annihilated by the terrifying power contained within Chen Fei's Chaos Halberd the moment they touched it, causing no real damage to Chen Fei whatsoever.

"This...how is this possible?"

"His combat power... how can it be even more exaggerated than it was in the previous nine-level space?"

After Ling Qingxue and the other five regained their footing, their eyes were filled with disbelief and shock as they looked at Chen Fei.

They could clearly sense that Chen Fei was now much stronger than Zhan Wuji, He Jinchuan, and the others in their battle.

In the previous nine-level space, Chen Fei was able to fight five opponents at once, but he still needed a gradual process of adaptation and improvement.

Moreover, he was able to achieve that by relying more on the special environment of the nine-layered space.

But now, he seems to have skipped the adaptation and enhancement process and raised his combat power to its peak from the very beginning.

He seemed to completely disregard the number of people and the difference in their cultivation levels, and in an almost tyrannical and unreasonable manner, he forcefully defeated the combined attack of the six of them.

This level of combat power has completely exceeded their understanding of the level of a half-step Heavenly Monarch.

It even gave them the illusion that they were facing a Heavenly Monarch who had truly mastered the origin of the Great Dao.

Chen Fei repelled the six prodigies with a single strike of his halberd, yet his face showed no sign of triumph. His eyes remained calm and serene.

He ignored the five people, including Ling Qingxue, who had been knocked back; his gaze was fixed on the purple-gold figure, Yuwen Xuan.

Chen Fei caught up with Yuwen Xuan, raising the Chaos Halberd in his hand high once more.

"Stop him."

Ling Qingxue's expression changed drastically, and she let out an urgent shout.

She knew very well that if Chen Fei continued to pursue Yuwen Xuan, given Yuwen Xuan's current state, he would likely be eliminated directly.

In that case, a huge gap would appear in the combined strength of the six of them, making it even more difficult for them to withstand Chen Fei's sharp edge.

She was the first to react, forcefully suppressing her surging blood and qi, and pushing the Hun Tian Silk to its limit, transforming it into an ice crystal barrier that blocked Chen Fei's pursuit.

Tang Yin and the other three reacted almost simultaneously.

Although they were still deeply shocked, they couldn't care less at that moment. If Yuwen Xuan was eliminated, the remaining five of them would be even less of a match for Chen Fei.

Tianyin Wall!

Xuanming Lock!

Heavenly Sword Screen!

The four attacked simultaneously, unleashing a barrage of defensive and distracting attacks on Chen Fei, attempting to stop him from pursuing Yuwen Xuan.

Yuwen Xuan himself also forcibly held the Heavenly Sword horizontally in front of him, assuming a defensive posture.

"boom!"

Another earth-shattering roar.

The defense set up by Ling Qingxue and the other four was torn apart and crushed by Chen Fei's halberd strike, which contained the immense power of the Great Dao.

Ling Qingxue let out a muffled groan, and was so shocked that she staggered backward, her face turning even paler.

Tang Yin and his three companions were also thrown backward by the terrifying force of the recoil, their blood and qi churning violently.

Yuwen Xuan, who was Chen Fei's main target, was under the greatest pressure.

Although he had already assumed a defensive stance, holding the Heavenly Sword horizontally in front of him, the power of Chen Fei's halberd strike was simply too terrifying.

That force seemed to ignore his defenses, piercing through his sword and crashing into his body.

"puff!"

Yuwen Xuan coughed up another mouthful of blood. The Heavenly Sword in his hand let out a mournful cry, and the purple-gold light on its blade completely dimmed.

He was thrown backward as if he had been hit head-on by a plane, crashing heavily onto the ground thousands of miles away, carving a long trench in the ground.

If it weren't for some secret technique that was forcibly supporting him, he would probably have already been teleported away by the power of the rules of the Fiery Sun World.

Even so, he was already at his last gasp.

His combat strength is at most less than 60% of his peak, and may even be lower.

Above the capital, the enormous sky clearly displayed all of this to the millions of cultivators.

Everyone stared blankly at the figure in green robes in the sky, witnessing the terrifying sight of him single-handedly crushing six top-tier half-step Heavenly Monarchs. Their minds went blank, and they didn't know what words to use to describe their feelings at that moment.

"Is this...is this still the Tai Cang Realm?"

After a long while, a young cultivator murmured to himself.

"Peak of the Tai Cang Realm...fighting six opponents alone...crushing them all...this is the true power of a Heavenly Monarch!"

“In the previous nine-level space, Chen Fei was also very strong, but he was not at this level. Now he completely ignores the difference in realm.”

"Did you see that? Those collisions just now even caused cracks in the reinforced space."

"If this doesn't count as true Heavenly Monarch combat power, then what does?"

Countless cultivators were completely shocked by the terrifying combat power that Chen Fei was displaying at this moment.

For the first time, they realized so directly that even at the peak of the Tai Cang Realm, one could be this powerful.

So this is how the legendary counterattack was carried out – through crushing force.

The blazing world, nine realms.

Yuwen Xuan knelt on one knee, using his sword as a support to keep himself from falling.

His body was covered in wounds, and blood stained his magnificent purple-gold dragon-patterned robe. His breath was extremely weak, like a candle flame that might be extinguished at any moment.

But his eyes remained bright, still burning with an indomitable flame.

He did not choose to leave the world of blazing sun.

Even though he knew he could no longer defeat Chen Fei, and even though he knew that staying would only bring more humiliation and pain, he still did not choose to back down.

Because he is Yuwen Xuan!

Even if he loses, he will lose with dignity. Even if he is defeated, he will be defeated spectacularly.

"Roar!"

Yuwen Xuan roared to the sky, abruptly standing up. Ignoring his severe injuries, he poured all his remaining strength into the Heavenly Sword in his hand. (End of Chapter)
