Cultivation starts from simplifying the exercises

Chapter 2224 Invincible Belief

Under the incredulous gazes of everyone, the enormous Void Return Dharma Image completely merged into Chen Fei's main body.

Not only the Dharma Form, but also the Chaotic Dao Domain that had been shrouding the Dharma Form's surface was forcibly compressed and contained, and entirely incorporated into Chen Fei's body.

"boom!"

Just as the Dharma Image and Dao Domain were completely absorbed into his body, a terrifying aura, reminiscent of the beginning of chaos, erupted from Chen Fei's body and soared into the sky.

"He absorbed the Dharma Form and Dao Domain into his body?"

"How is it possible to do this?"

When the scene of Chen Fei's enormous Returning Void Dharma Image and Chaos Dao Domain completely disappearing into his main body was reflected in the eyes of hundreds of millions of cultivators in the Divine Capital through the sky, the entire Divine Capital fell into an even more bizarre state than before.

For an ordinary peak-stage Tai Cang Realm cultivator, absorbing the Dharma Image and Dao Domain into their body is an easy task.

After all, the Dharma Aspect Dao Domain is an external manifestation formed by one's own Yuan Power, Divine Soul, and comprehension of rules. It is a common operation for the peak of the Tai Cang Realm to retract into the body and return to the origin.

This is also a significant difference between the peak of the Tai Cang Realm and other realms within the Tai Cang Realm.

However, Chen Fei's situation was completely different.

Everyone knows that the reason why Chen Fei, at the peak of the Tai Cang Realm, possesses the terrifying combat power to fight against a half-step Heavenly Monarch lies in that extremely dangerous secret technique.

He forcibly merged his celestial status with the Dao Domain. In doing so, he gained control and explosive power over the rules of heaven and earth comparable to a half-step Celestial Monarch.

However, this forced integration comes at a huge cost and with strict limitations, the most fatal of which is solidification.

The Heavenly Rank is the cornerstone for the leap in a cultivator's life essence, the foundation of the path to enlightenment, and is extremely profound yet incredibly fragile.

Forcibly merging it with the Dao Domain can instantly enhance the power and control of the Dao Domain, but it is also equivalent to welding the Dao Domain to that specific state.

The Dao Domain is no longer a realm that can be controlled at will, but has become an outer shell that both supports and amplifies, while also imprisoning the divine status.

Therefore, in Chen Fei's previous battles, he either directly unleashed his Dao Domain or had to manifest the Dharma of Heaven and Earth, combining the power of the Dao Domain with the Dharma to form the Void Dharma Image that integrates offense and defense.

He simply couldn't easily gather his Dao Domain into his body and return to his most fundamental combat state like an ordinary peak Tai Cang Realm cultivator.

Because if it is forcibly restrained, the Heavenly Status that is forcibly bound to the Dao Domain is very likely to collapse due to the loss of its carrier, leading to irreparable consequences.

This is also what everyone considers Chen Fei's greatest weakness: his Dao Domain is an open target that cannot be hidden. Once damaged in battle, it will be a fatal blow.

At this moment, Chen Fei not only withdrew his Dharma form, but also forcibly absorbed the Dao Domain that should theoretically have been solidified into his body.

This defies common sense and is beyond everyone's comprehension.

"Isn't that Dao Domain tied to one's Heavenly Rank? If it's forcibly absorbed into the body, isn't the Rank itself going to collapse?"

"Unless his control over his own power, especially his soul, reaches a terrifying level that we cannot imagine."

"What astonishing spiritual power, what exquisite understanding of the rules, what terrifying precision of control does this require?"

Within the blazing world, Zhan Wuji's maniacal laughter froze instantly, turning into unbelievable astonishment.

The murderous intent and scheming in He Jinchuan's eyes were replaced by deep shock.

Even Ling Qingxue, who had been observing coldly from afar, showed a clear change in her beautiful, perpetually frozen face for the first time. Her delicate brows furrowed slightly, and an indescribable solemnity flashed in her icy blue eyes.

They understood better than the average spectator what Chen Fei's move meant.

This means that Chen Fei's control over his dangerous secret technique, his understanding of the essence of power, and especially the strength and subtle control of his soul, have all reached a level that makes them all feel uneasy.

However, Chen Fei did not give his opponents more time to be shocked or to think.

Just as his aura soared into the sky, He Jinchuan's Shadowless Spear tip and Zhan Wuji's palms, carrying destructive power, crashed down.

Although their momentum faltered slightly due to Chen Fei's sudden change, the attack had already begun and was unstoppable.

Chen Fei's movements, though seemingly slow, carried a mysterious and indescribable rhythm, as if they resonated strangely with the terrifying pressure around him and the rules of this world.

Where his right hand was clenched, the chaotic halberd that had disappeared along with the Dharma form re-formed from nothingness.

The Chaos Halberd drew a chaotic halberd beam in the void, seemingly capable of severing cause and effect.

This halberd beam was no longer enormous, only a few feet long, but the chaotic true meaning flowing on it was even purer.

"Ding!"

A resounding clang, powerful enough to pierce the soul, suddenly exploded.

Under the gaze of countless horrified eyes, He Jinchuan's Shadowless Spear, which embodied the true meaning of the Overlord Spear, caused the dark, deathly light gathered on the tip of the spear to melt and dissipate the moment it came into contact with the chaotic halberd light that was several feet long.

Immediately afterwards, a terrifying force, a mixture of annihilation and spacetime tremors, surged through the gun and into He Jinchuan's body.

"puff!"

He Jinchuan's face turned pale instantly, and he could no longer suppress the urge to spit out a mouthful of blood.

For the first time, the long, black spear in his hand let out a mournful cry of unbearable strain, the shaft trembling violently and almost flying out of his grasp.

For the first time, he was thrown backward uncontrollably, crashing hard into the deep purple light barrier at the edge of the ninth zone with a thud before barely managing to stop his retreat.

He knelt on one knee, propped himself up with his gun, and gasped for breath. His gaze toward Chen Fei was filled with horror and disbelief.

He was actually cleaved away by Chen Fei's halberd?

And this was under the condition that he used all his strength?

At the same time, Chen Fei's left hand also moved.

Facing the dark red palms that were slamming down from the right, which seemed to blot out the sky, Chen Fei raised his left hand, his five fingers spread open, and the tiny chaotic vortex in his palm suddenly expanded and spun.

A terrifying suction force capable of swallowing heaven and earth erupted from his palm.

The dark red palm print of battle intent that was slamming down suddenly stopped moving like a mud ox sinking into the sea the moment it came into contact with this suction force. Its speed dropped sharply and its power was frantically devoured and dissipated.

That immense power, capable of shattering planes, seemed to strike a bottomless black hole, unable to gain any leverage, let alone cause any effective damage.

The chaotic vortex in Chen Fei's left palm suddenly contracted, then spit it out in the opposite direction.

A palm strike, infused with a portion of the opponent's fighting spirit but completely transformed by the power of the Void, slammed out from his palm, colliding head-on with the center of Zhan Wuji's palm print, which had already lost much of its power.

"Boom!"

Another dull, loud bang.

This time, it was a clash of pure power. Chen Fei swayed slightly, but his expression remained unchanged, and his breathing was steady.

Zhan Wuji felt as if his palm strike had struck a chaotic millstone. Not only did it fail to achieve its purpose, but a strange counterforce also came from it, making his arms numb and his blood churning.

Even that tall figure couldn't help but stumble backward seven or eight steps before barely managing to regain his balance.

The wild smile on his face had vanished, replaced by an unprecedented solemnity.

Dead!

Within the ninth level area, apart from the faint hum of the energy turbulence gradually subsiding and He Jinchuan's slightly heavy breathing, there were no other sounds.

Zhan Wuji and He Jinchuan, one on the left and one on the right, were hundreds of miles apart, their eyes fixed on the figure in green robes in the center.

The previous contempt, scheming, or deadly confidence were gone from their eyes. In their eyes, there was a solemnity as if facing a formidable enemy, and a trace of lingering shock.

Chen Fei remained standing quietly.

Facing the combined deadly attacks of two top-tier half-step Heavenly Lords, Chen Fei not only emerged unscathed but also broke through the stalemate with a powerful, head-on confrontation, overwhelming the two heroes.

The key to all of this lies in his act of taking the solidified Dao Domain and Dharma Form back into his own body.

"Does this mean all the drawbacks have disappeared?"

“He absorbed his Dao Domain into his body, so the Dao Domain was no longer an exposed target. If He Jinchuan and Zhan Wuji wanted to attack his Dao Domain, they would first have to break through his defenses in this state of introspection.”

"And did you feel it? Although his aura is restrained at the moment, the sense of oppression he gives off is even stronger. His power is more condensed, and his control is more precise."

"The risk of his Dao Domain being damaged, leading to the collapse of his Heavenly Status, is almost gone. In fact, it can be said that as long as he maintains this state and is not completely destroyed in an instant, his Dao Domain and Heavenly Status will be fine."

"My God, what kind of monster is Chen Fei?"

"A dark horse? This is like a black dragon being born!"

After a brief silence, a roar more violent than ever before erupted, rising from every corner of the capital and completely engulfing the world.

For Chen Fei's amazing comeback, for his unimaginable display of strength.

The Dan Chen Sect's headquarters, which had just been filled with an atmosphere of despair, was instantly ignited and exploded.

From this moment on, no one dared to regard him as an anomaly who had gotten to where he was today by sheer luck through dangerous secret techniques. He was a peerless genius who truly had the qualifications and strength to compete with the most outstanding prodigies such as Yuwen Xuan, Ling Qingxue, and Zhan Wuji for the ultimate glory.

Within the ninth area, the atmosphere was so heavy it seemed as if water could drip from it.

He Jinchuan slowly stood up from the ground and reached out to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth.

He stared at the crimson stain on his fingertip, a fleeting look of disbelief crossing his eyes, which was quickly replaced by an even more intense rage.

He Jinchuan, a spear prodigy from Hundred Flowers Valley, has rarely met his match among his peers since his debut.

Even when facing top-tier figures like Yuwen Xuan and Ling Qingxue, he had never been so humiliated. Yet today, he was actually cleaved away by a single halberd strike from a person who had broken into this place at the peak of the Tai Cang Realm, and was forced to vomit blood.

He Jinchuan stared intently at Chen Fei, his once calm eyes now bloodshot and burning with a frenzied flame.

He Jinchuan took a deep breath, and his aura suddenly surged. An even more domineering spear intent rose from his body, causing the surrounding space to distort and deform.

The spear in his hand seemed to sense its master's anger and fighting spirit. The spear trembled violently and emitted a series of low hums. The point of dark light on the spear tip, which was originally extremely cold and lifeless, began to burn.

It transformed into clusters of dark, fiery flowers, which coiled and spread around the gun.

The true meaning of the domineering gun·Feng Tian!

He Jinchuan roared, his entire being merging with the spear in his hand, transforming into a black meteor that pierced the heavens and earth, carrying a terrifying power capable of incinerating everything, and thrusting the spear towards Chen Fei.

This shot was more ruthless and showed even less mercy than before.

He no longer cared about tactics or teamwork; he only wanted to use his strongest power to completely nail this guy who dared to humiliate him to this spot.

At the same time, Zhan Wuji on the other side also let out a thunderous roar.

The roar, like that of an ancient ferocious beast, carried an unbridled and ferocious fighting spirit, causing the entire space of the ninth level to tremble and buzz.

Zhan Wuji's already imposing body swelled even more, and his blood and qi surged wildly across his body like a boiling celestial river, radiating an intensely hot temperature that seemed to ignite the surrounding space.

Zhan Wuji came to participate in the Grand Competition of Ten Thousand Sects with the intention of competing with top figures like Yuwen Xuan and Ling Qingxue to seize the top spot.

He has absolute self-confidence and an invincible belief.

The reason he was willing to join forces with He Jinchuan to attack Chen Fei was simply because he felt that Chen Fei was too much of an anomaly and wanted to eliminate him as quickly as possible to avoid any complications in the subsequent struggle.

In his view, it was just a casual cleaning.

Even if this guy, who has reached the Tai Cang Realm, has some special methods, how strong can he be? If he and He Jinchuan join forces, wouldn't it be a piece of cake for them?

But he never expected that the outcome would be like this.

The combined attack of him and He Jinchuan, two top-tier half-step Heavenly Monarchs, not only failed to defeat Chen Fei, but was also easily neutralized by the opponent in an unbelievable way.

They were even knocked back by the recoil, losing face completely.

what is this?

Did Zhan Wuji become a stepping stone to highlight Chen Fei's strength? Did he work so hard to cultivate until now just to be a foil for someone else?

"Chen Fei!"

Zhan Wuji's eyes were bloodshot as he stared intently at Chen Fei's figure. With this roar, an aura that seemed to come from the primordial era erupted from his body.

The moment that ancient and domineering aura appeared, the entire space of the ninth level region froze for a moment.

Zhan Wuji made a fist with his right hand and suddenly grabbed at the void.

"Buzz!"

A metallic clang that could tear the soul apart suddenly rang out.

Before Zhan Wuji, the space rippled like water, and then a huge battle axe with dark red blood light flowing on its blade slowly emerged from the rippled space.

As soon as this battle axe appeared, an incomparably powerful and terrifying aura, capable of sweeping across the heavens and the earth, swept out in all directions like a hurricane.

That aura contained an extremely pure, primordial essence of the Great Dao, as if the battle axe itself were the embodiment of the two fundamental laws of heaven and earth: power and destruction. (End of Chapter)
