Cultivation starts from simplifying the exercises

Chapter 2233 Who Will Prevail?

"He intends to use the primal power contained within the spiritual materials as a starting point, and through the amplification and resonance of the array, to sense and leverage the even greater primal power in the outside world."

"This...this idea is too crazy! Using a single spiritual material to move the very essence of the world? How is that even possible?"

"But he was indeed trying. And the grand formation he just set up, although it collapsed, was enough to prove that his skill in formations had reached an extremely high level."

After understanding Chen Fei's intentions, the cultivators who had been supporting Yuwen Xuan, Ling Qingxue, and the others immediately became tense.

They all knew very well that Chen Fei was able to emerge out of nowhere in this Grand Competition of Ten Thousand Sects and crush many half-step Heavenly Monarchs with his own strength.

The fundamental reason lies in his ability to borrow the primal power of the Fiery Sun World. That power grants him terrifying combat strength far exceeding his own realm.

If Chen Fei could no longer borrow that power, although he would still be powerful, he would definitely not be powerful enough to overwhelm the combined attack of six top-tier half-step Heavenly Monarchs.

The people they support, such as Yuwen Xuan and Ling Qingxue, still have a great chance of winning.

But what if... Chen Fei really found a way to reactivate the primal power of the Blazing Sun World?

They simply couldn't imagine the consequences.

A Chen Fei who can borrow the power of the world's origin is practically invincible. Let alone six half-step Heavenly Monarchs, even if there were six more, they probably wouldn't be enough to defeat him.

"It must fail." Many cultivators who favored Yuwen Xuan and his group secretly prayed, "Please don't let him succeed."

It's clear to anyone with eyes that Chen Fei is currently facing an extremely crucial decision.

Whether he can successfully find that leverage point and re-borrow the primordial power of the Fiery Sun World will directly determine the final outcome of his journey in this Grand Tournament of Ten Thousand Sects, and may even determine who will ultimately be the champion of this Grand Tournament of Ten Thousand Sects.

If he succeeds, he will once again possess that invincible fighting power that crushes everything.

The combined attack of six prodigies, including Ling Qingxue, Yuwen Xuan, and Tang Yin, would be utterly ineffective against him.

He will undoubtedly win the championship of the Grand Competition of Ten Thousand Sects, and may even, as the rules indicate, take away two complete sets of seventeenth-grade low-rank spiritual materials.

If he fails, he will lose his greatest reliance and will have to face the siege of six top-tier half-step Heavenly Monarchs with his own true strength.

Although his true strength should not be underestimated, it would be almost impossible for him to win against six opponents at once.

He is likely to be eliminated, and he may even lose the complete set of spiritual materials he has already obtained.

Success or failure hinges on this one move.

A world scorching under the sun.

Tens of millions of miles away from Chen Fei's location, six streaks of light were tearing through the sky at an astonishing speed.

They sped along, getting closer and closer to the area where Chen Fei was.

Just then, Tang Yin suddenly frowned and looked towards the distant sky, in the direction where Chen Fei was.

He could clearly sense that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in that direction was fluctuating violently, as if something was brewing and about to erupt there.

"It's a formation."

Tang Yin said in a deep voice, his tone tinged with seriousness, "That Chen Fei is setting up a very large formation. Moreover, his mastery of that formation is very high."

As the most outstanding successor of the Tianyan Sect in this generation, he has extremely high attainments and confidence in the art of formations.

But at this moment, sensing the aura emanating from the array that was in operation in the distance, a sense of apprehension involuntarily arose in his heart.

The scale and complexity of that formation far exceeded his expectations.

If he were to set up an array of the same scale, he would certainly be able to do so, but to complete it in such a short time would be very difficult.

"A formation?" Yuwen Xuan frowned slightly upon hearing this. "What is he trying to do? Does he intend to use a formation to withstand our attack?"

"possible."

Tang Yin nodded. "The aura of that formation is extremely powerful. If he manages to set it up completely, it will probably take us a lot of effort to break through."

"Hmph." Zheng Yan snorted coldly, his body crackling with electricity. "Whatever kind of formation it is. When we get there, we'll just smash it to pieces with brute force."

"We must not be careless."

Yuwen Xuan shook his head: "Since Chen Fei dared to stay, he must have something to rely on. That formation is very likely his trump card, or it may be a smokescreen."

He paused, his gaze fixed on the distance, as if piercing through layers of space, and saw the figure in blue robes setting up an array:

"We'll see how things go first. If we can force him out of the formation, then we won't fight him inside. Outside, with the six of us working together, he's no match for us."

Upon hearing this, everyone else nodded in agreement.

The area where Chen Fei is located.

At this moment, the massive array that covered an area of ​​hundreds of thousands of miles had entered an extremely unstable state.

A vast number of silver-gray runes, like snowflakes, flickered wildly in the void before collapsing and dissipating in large swaths.

Chen Fei's speed in setting up the array could no longer keep up with the speed at which the array patterns were collapsing.

The entire formation has reached its limit.

Suddenly, the moment a core array pattern completely shattered, the entire area erupted with a dazzling light more brilliant than the sun.

Immediately afterwards, an extremely terrifying energy tide, centered on Chen Fei, swept wildly in all directions.

Wherever it passed, space was torn open with dark cracks, the earth was plowed with deep, bottomless ravines, and even the eternally unchanging crimson clouds in the sky were forcibly dispersed by this terrifying energy tide.

The grand formation was completely shattered.

Above the capital city.

When they saw the massive array, which covered hundreds of thousands of miles, finally collapse completely due to the pressure and turn into a terrifying energy tide, many cultivators couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Those cultivators who had been supporting Yuwen Xuan, Ling Qingxue, and others were especially relieved.

"It failed... Chen Fei's attempt failed."

"That's great, he failed to borrow the power of the primordial essence of the Fiery Sun World."

"It seems that the will of the Fiery Sun World is determined to restrict him. It is almost impossible for him to borrow the power of origin again."

"Without the support of the power of origin, let's see how he can fight against Yuwen Xuan and the others."

"This time, he's probably really going to be in trouble, or he should take this opportunity to run away and escape the Blazing Sun World!"

The monks all wore relieved smiles.

In their view, Chen Fei had lost his greatest advantage, and what awaited him next was inevitable defeat.

Those cultivators who hoped to see Chen Fei continue to create miracles and sweep everything away couldn't help but sigh.

"Sigh... It's still too difficult!"

"To try to use a single spiritual material to move the very essence of the world is an act against the heavens. It is understandable that you would fail."

"What a pity... If he had succeeded, what a magnificent sight it would have been."

Two completely different emotions intertwined and spread throughout the capital city.

A world scorching under the sun.

The aftershocks of the energy tide finally subsided.

Chen Fei stood quietly in place, her eyes closed, as if sensing something.

Before him, the complete seventeenth-grade low-rank spiritual material was still slowly rotating, emitting a pure and profound Daoist charm.

The earth-shattering collapse of the formation just now did not have a significant impact on it.

Just then, six streaks of light, like shooting stars chasing the moon, swept in from the distant horizon.

It was Yuwen Xuan, Ling Qingxue, Tang Yin, Zheng Yan, Shang Chi, and Jiang Linyuan.

They stopped about 300,000 miles away from Chen Fei, their eyes scanning their surroundings warily.

However, what puzzled them was that, apart from the still-unsettled fluctuations of the天地元气 (heaven and earth energy), there was no massive, imposing formation they had anticipated.

"Ok?"

Zheng Yan looked at Tang Yin with a puzzled expression. "Tang Yin, didn't you say he was setting up an array? Where is the array? I can't see it."

Tang Yin's brows furrowed tightly.

He carefully sensed the fluctuations of the surrounding天地元气 (heaven and earth energy), a strange expression appearing on his face.

"That great formation has already collapsed."

He spoke slowly, his tone tinged with disbelief, "He failed to control the great formation, causing it to exceed its capacity and collapse on its own."

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Ling Qingxue's eyes also showed surprise. "The formation collapsed on its own?"

Although she wasn't particularly skilled in formations, she knew that given Chen Fei's precise control over the Dao Domain and his ingenious use of formations, as demonstrated in previous battles, his mastery of formations was definitely top-tier.

How could someone with such a high level of expertise in formations make such a basic mistake as losing control of a formation?

"Could it be... that the array he set up was too large in scale and too complex in structure, exceeding the limits of his spiritual power?" Jiang Linyuan guessed.

"possible."

Tang Yin nodded, but his brows remained furrowed. "But it's also possible... he did it on purpose."

"Intentionally?" Zheng Yan was taken aback. "He deliberately caused the formation to collapse? What was his motive?"

Tang Yin shook his head and did not answer.

He simply stared at the figure standing quietly in the distance, his eyes filled with solemnity and apprehension.

He always felt that things weren't that simple.

Chen Fei is a man whose actions are always unpredictable and hard to fathom. His deliberate act of causing the formation to collapse might have ulterior motives.

"It's a little weird."

Yuwen Xuan's gaze was fixed on the figure in green robes in the distance. The whole scene before him was strangely eerie.

But he didn't have time to think about it in detail.

No matter what tricks Chen Fei is playing, no matter what cards he has yet to reveal, since things have come to this point, there is no reason to back down.

If six top-tier half-step Heavenly Monarchs were so intimidated by a peak Tai Cang Realm cultivator that they dared not make a move, what would become of their reputation if word got out?

"kill!"

Yuwen Xuan let out a long roar like a dragon's cry, and without any hesitation, he took the lead, transforming into a streak of purple-gold light and charging towards Chen Fei.

In his hand, the sword symbolizing the authority of the Great Yan royal family, the World Sword, was already unsheathed.

The sword light was like a rainbow, carrying an imperial aura that ruled the four seas and dominated the eight wastelands, as if it could cleave the entire world in two with a single sword strike.

Seeing this, the other five people no longer hesitated.

Ling Qingxue gently raised her hand, and the Hun Tian Silk transformed into a flowing curtain of light, with icy power surging out like a tide.

The six top-tier half-step Heavenly Monarchs, holding nothing back, raised their auras to their peak, carrying world-destroying power, and launched the fiercest charge towards Chen Fei from six different directions.

They had originally considered whether to lure Chen Fei out of that nine-fold area to prevent him from using the source power there again.

But at this moment, seeing that Chen Fei's great formation had collapsed and that he seemed to have exhausted his tricks, they no longer cared.

Since he can no longer borrow that primordial power, then we will crush him completely here with absolute power.

Above the capital, the enormous sky clearly displayed the scene of the six prodigies charging towards Chen Fei simultaneously to the eyes of millions of cultivators.

The once noisy capital city suddenly fell silent at this moment.

Everyone stared wide-eyed at the sky, afraid of missing a single detail.

They knew that the moment that would determine the final outcome of this grand competition was approaching.

Is it Chen Fei, the dark horse who broke into the Yan Yang World with the peak of the Tai Cang Realm, who was able to continue to create miracles, single-handedly turn the tide and defeat the joint attack of six top half-step Heavenly Monarchs?

Or were the six prodigies, including Yuwen Xuan, Ling Qingxue, and Tang Yin, able to successfully surround and kill Chen Fei and defend their honor as half-step Heavenly Monarchs?

All the mysteries will be revealed in the battles to come.

Just as Yuwen Xuan and his six companions, carrying overwhelming power, were about to rush towards Chen Fei and launch a thunderous attack,

Chen Fei opened her eyes.

In his eyes, it seemed as if two chaotic nebulae were slowly rotating, so deep that they seemed to devour all light.

next moment.

"Buzz!"

A silver-gray array, no more than a mile in circumference, yet exuding an incomparably profound aura, appeared out of thin air.

Compared to the massive array that covered hundreds of thousands of miles in radius, this array is simply insignificant.

However, the array patterns flowing within this formation are more condensed and more precise than those of the previous great formation.

The core of this formation is still that complete seventeenth-grade low-level spiritual material.

The moment this small array was completed, the entire Fiery Sun World seemed to tremble slightly.

A vast and ancient power of the Great Dao was drawn out from the Blazing Sun World, using that spiritual material of a certain rank as a bridge.

Chen Fei's attempt just now was successful.

He found the leverage point and successfully pried open the very essence of the Fiery Sun World! (End of Chapter)
