“Whoosh!”
The sound of rolling waves surged forward. Chen Fei turned and, with a sweep of the Qianyuan Sword, cut through the waves in front of him.
Realizing that simple barriers could not stop Chen Fei, Shen Yongding and Rong Zhongrui changed their combat strategy and began to directly attack Chen Fei with their divine powers.
Chen Fei could resist these attacks head-on, but it would drain his energy, spirit, and soul significantly.
The Dust Law Sword sliced through the waves as Chen Fei’s figure flickered, appearing directly in front of Rong Zhongrui, and he swung his sword.
Shen Yongding had somehow appeared beside Rong Zhongrui and crashed the Celestial Wood into the Dust Law Sword.
With a low shout from Rong Zhongrui, the Bitter Sea emerged behind the Celestial Wood, channeling all its power into it.
Empowered by Rong Zhongrui’s divine power, the strength of the Celestial Wood surged rapidly, expanding by more than double.
“Boom!”
The airwaves stirred the heaven and earth’s vital energy, and countless ripples spread out.
The Celestial Wood trembled slightly before exploding into fragments, but the Dust Law Sword was also halted mid-air.
In this clash, both sides were evenly matched.
Shen Yongding and Rong Zhongrui’s expressions steadied. As long as they were not at a disadvantage, there was still a chance to fight.
It was a pity for Du Quanzhi. If he had known earlier that such barriers were ineffective against Chen Fei, he wouldn’t have made his first move in the same way and wouldn’t have ended up gravely injured and near death.
At this moment, Du Quanzhi had not formally withdrawn, as Chen Fei had spared him instead of killing him.
Du Quanzhi was aware of this, and Shen Yongding and Rong Zhongrui knew it too. Thus, saving Du Quanzhi and continuing the three-on-one fight seemed somewhat shameless.
In a private life-and-death duel, all tactics might be used, but this was a match, with tens of thousands of Sun Moon Realm spectators watching. Such actions were clearly out of place.
Outside the arena, the eight participants who had yet to take the stage breathed a slight sigh of relief upon seeing this.
If Chen Fei dared to let them all fight at once, there was a good chance the situation would change dramatically. The question was whether Chen Fei would still have the courage to let all three of them compete at once.
“It seems this is Chen Fei’s greatest strength,” someone whispered.
“Very strong indeed. In a clash of two complete divine powers, most early-stage Sun Moon Realm experts would have been defeated already,” another person added.
“Indeed, very strong, that’s clear to everyone. But Chen Fei shouldn’t have let three people take the stage at once. It might be hard to conclude this now,” someone else shook their head.
The others fell silent because it was the truth.
Chen Fei was indeed strong, but he didn’t seem strong enough to crush three opponents simultaneously. His challenge to let all three take the stage made him seem somewhat reckless.
The upcoming battle was likely to be difficult. If it turned into a war of attrition, Shen Yongding and Rong Zhongrui would likely have the upper hand.
After all, in terms of realm cultivation, Shen Yongding and Rong Zhongrui had already reached the critical point of the early Sun Moon Realm.
“Rise!”
On the arena, Shen Yongding and Rong Zhongrui shouted in unison. The Celestial Wood, rooted in the Bitter Sea, underwent a sudden transformation at its top.
In the next moment, a golden lotus blossomed atop the Celestial Wood.
Bitter Sea Golden Lotus!
The golden lotus soared higher and grew larger, as if it were going to cover the entire sky.
Shen Yongding and Rong Zhongrui’s divine powers were now more perfectly coordinated, leading to a new change in their combined force.
Every quiver of the lotus petals caused the heaven and earth’s vital energy to boil.
Chen Fei’s expression shifted slightly as a streak of lightning flashed across his body. The sky above the arena had become overcast with dense clouds, and countless thunderbolts roamed within them.
Thunder Roar Stellar Technique!
From the duel with Sikong Jun to just now when he struck with that sword, Chen Fei had been using nothing but pure divine power.
Even until just now, Chen Fei had held back a bit, worried about accidentally obliterating Du Quanzhi and the others.
Now that he knew their power was more than sufficient, Chen Fei naturally had no reason to hold back.
The fully developed Thunder Roar Stellar Technique erupted with force, causing a dramatic shift in the heavens.
The Thunder Roar Stellar Technique was quite ordinary, but even so, it could be cultivated to the peak of the Sun Moon Realm and had a reasonable chance of breaking into the Sixth Stage Rule Integration Realm.
In the early Sun Moon Realm, a perfected Thunder Roar Stellar Technique was akin to a dimensional strike.
Even with talents like Shen Yongding and the others, in the early Sun Moon Realm, they could only cultivate such techniques to proficiency at most.
It wasn’t due to their lack of talent but because complete Sun Moon Realm techniques involved other divine powers in subsequent realms.
Many things could not be comprehended simply through insight until one reached the appropriate realm.
Dozens of thick lightning pillars descended from the sky, striking the Dust Law Sword. The sword instantly turned purple, and the violent thunderous power permeated all around.
The divine power of the Thunder Roar Stellar Technique, which activated the enhancement of lightning energy, surged through the sword, with threads of lightning weaving freely across it.
The Sun Moon Realm spectators watched in astonishment as Chen Fei’s power visibly increased. So he had been holding back all this time!
What kind of place was the Boundless Sea, to produce such a prodigy?
It was rumored that the origin of the Boundless Sea was dissipating. Did Chen Fei absorb all the remaining essence?
But given the power of the plane’s origin, even Chen Fei from the Mountain Sea Realm or an ordinary Sixth Stage Rule Integration Realm expert could not absorb too much.
Only in the late Rule Integration Realm, when aiming to break into the pinnacle of the sixth level and achieve the Emperor Realm, could one absorb vast amounts of plane origin and refine numerous fragments of rules into complete rules.
Therefore, even if Chen Fei had absorbed some of the plane’s origin, it would only be a small amount.
It would be greatly beneficial for cultivation but not to such an exaggerated extent.
Chen Fei looked at the Bitter Sea Golden Lotus in front of him and struck out with his sword.
The purple Dust Law Sword burst with dazzling light as it descended upon the golden lotus.
The vital energy of the entire arena momentarily paused, especially where the Dust Law Sword met the lotus, where the space seemed to freeze.
In the next moment, a thunderous explosion erupted, and after a brief pause, the Dust Law Sword slashed into the lotus.
Despite the golden lotus continuously trembling and drawing in the heaven and earth’s vital energy to replenish itself, it still could not stop the destruction caused by the Dust Law Sword.
Compared to before, while Shen Yongding and Rong Zhongrui’s combined divine powers had increased, Chen Fei’s sword’s power had grown even more dramatically.
“Boom!”
Like steel being forcibly torn apart, the golden lotus split into two halves mid-air. The Dust Law Sword, with its remaining force, continued to strike the Celestial Wood and Bitter Sea.
The Bitter Sea and the Celestial Wood shook violently and were also torn into two halves.
“Wow!”
Shen Yongding and Rong Zhongrui’s faces turned ashen, and they both spat out blood.
The golden lotus was the result of combining their divine powers, and with it shattered, the power of the Celestial Wood and the Bitter Sea was essentially exhausted, unable to withstand the force of the Dust Law Sword.
With no further obstacles, the Dust Law Sword advanced directly, striking Shen Yongding and Rong Zhongrui.
The divine power was forcibly shattered, and Shen Yongding and Rong Zhongrui barely had time to react, raising their respective mystic treasures to block in front of them.
“Boom!”
Shen Yongding and Rong Zhongrui, along with their mystic treasures, were slammed into the ground of the arena.
The raging force wreaked havoc on their internal organs. Their once formidable vital force was as fragile as paper against this power, providing almost no protection.
The vitality of Shen Yongding and Rong Zhongrui dropped sharply. While they weren’t in the near-death state of Du Quanzhi, they were severely injured.
They still had some fighting strength left!
But looking up at Chen Fei, who was floating in the air in a peak state, Shen Yongding and Rong Zhongrui exchanged a glance and couldn’t help but smile wryly.
Having some fighting strength left didn’t change much; it would only mean enduring a few more moves before ending up like Du Quanzhi.
Chen Fei hovered in the air without pursuing them, which was actually showing mercy.
“I concede!” Shen Yongding’s voice was somewhat subdued.
“I also concede!” Rong Zhongrui sighed.
Both were geniuses and the top experts of their respective branches in the early Sun Moon Realm. To be defeated so thoroughly in a three-on-one situation was an outcome they had never imagined.
Du Quanzhi, who had been barely holding on, collapsed to the ground upon hearing Shen Yongding and Rong Zhongrui’s words.
The outcome was decided!
The Sun Moon Realm spectators around the arena stirred.
The sword strike Chen Fei had displayed was so formidable that many in the mid Sun Moon Realm would find it difficult to withstand.
In other words, Chen Fei possessed power exceeding that of many mid Sun Moon Realm experts.
Was this the strength of someone in the early Sun Moon Realm?
No wonder he dared to challenge the top early Sun Moon Realm experts from eleven branches and even crushed a twelve-match winning streak.
This wasn’t arrogance or disdain; it was confidence and an indifference to his own level.
Many felt that Chen Fei was actually being modest; if they had his power, they would be even more flamboyant.
The eight Sun Moon Realm experts who had yet to take the stage looked on with a hint of bitterness.
Not only would they have to face a beating, but they would also lose two hundred performance points.
Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.
With Chen Fei sweeping the final opponent out of the arena’s boundary with a single sword, the battle of one against twelve came to a close.
Many early Sun Moon Realm experts from the Sky Sea branch spontaneously cheered, applauding Chen Fei’s bravery.
Regardless of everything, this was an honor for the Sky Sea branch.
An hour later, Chen Fei received three thousand one hundred and sixty performance points, won from the betting pool.
Looking at the points, Hua Zhizun, a peak Sun Moon Realm expert, couldn’t help but show a look of envy.
Adding the two thousand four hundred points transferred from Sikong Jun and others, Chen Fei’s total soared to over five thousand seven hundred points.
If he had relied on accumulating three to five points daily from hard work in class, it would have taken Chen Fei three to four years to amass such a sum.
No night grass, no fat horse; no windfall, no wealth!
Chen Fei vividly demonstrated what this saying meant!
At this moment, Chen Fei clutched his huge amount of performance points and stood in front of the treasure vault of the Qiankun Mansion.
