Cultivation starts from simplifying the exercises

Chapter 2222 Who is the God Chapter?

He Jinchuan's strength is recognized within the sect as being above Cheng Jing's. He is already one of the best among the half-step Heavenly Monarchs and a strong contender for the top ten in this competition. Some even believe that he has the strength to challenge for the top three.

He Jinchuan's gaze, like two cold bolts of lightning, instantly pierced through layers of light shields and landed on the chaotic avatar in the ninth layer area, as well as the hazy mysterious light not far in front of the avatar.

"Chen Fei! A half-rank spiritual material!"

He Jinchuan smiled, unlike Tang Yin who weighed the pros and cons before leaving.

For him, now that he had sensed the aura of the spiritual materials and seen his opponent, there was only one choice: to fight!

"Let me test your so-called dark horse skills and see just how tough your Dao Domain really is!"

He Jinchuan's eyes blazed with fighting spirit. He had absolute confidence in himself, a confidence stemming from countless life-or-death battles and from the ultimate honing of his marksmanship.

In his view, Chen Fei's ability to defeat Yu Jinsheng was certainly due to his considerable strength, but the kind of combat power that was forcibly enhanced by extreme secret techniques ultimately had its limits and drawbacks.

He Jinchuan, on the other hand, has climbed his way to where he is today step by step. He doesn't even consider Yu Jinsheng a threat.

Without the slightest hesitation, He Jinchuan moved, transforming into a sharp black spear beam that shot directly towards the outermost crimson area of ​​the nine-layered light shield.

With an overwhelming aura and protective spear energy, it forcefully crashed into the portal of the light barrier.

Deep within the ninth layer of the region.

Chen Fei moved to the front of that hazy, mysterious light, which was a strange crystal that was crystal clear and seemed to have a galaxy rotating inside.

Even across the Chaos Dao Domain, he could clearly feel the boundless vitality, vast Dao charm, and the heart-palpitating pressure of its status.

Even half a portion of a seventeenth-grade low-level spiritual material would be enough to drive any cultivator below the Heavenly Monarch level crazy.

Chen Fei stretched out his giant Dharma hand and grabbed the half of the spiritual material.

Without any obstacles, the spiritual materials were easily obtained.

It felt warm to the touch, as if he were holding a condensed nebula. The Daoist aura flowed through his arm, invigorating his body and mind.

However, just as the spiritual material left its original suspended position...

"Buzz!"

An even more powerful aura of spiritual material than before erupted from the half-crystal, instantly piercing through the nine layers of light shield and spreading unreservedly throughout the entire Fiery Sun World.

This aura is bound to the spiritual material itself and cannot be concealed at all. Moreover, Chen Fei felt a powerful blocking force, and he could not refine this half of the spiritual material before leaving the Blazing Sun World.

Chen Fei tried to bring it into the Void Realm, but its aura still clearly emanated through the dimensional barrier.

Chen Fei thought of the spatial grid, but the idea only flashed through his mind before he immediately suppressed it.

At this moment, hundreds of millions of cultivators were watching from above the capital, while countless powerful beings at the Heavenly Monarch realm and even higher levels were secretly observing the battle.

Once this spiritual material's aura truly disappears, Chen Fei's secrets will likely be completely exposed, which is entirely unnecessary.

"It really is a hot potato."

Holding this half of a high-ranking spiritual material is tantamount to announcing one's position to the entire Fiery Sun World, leaving no room for concealment. What follows will inevitably be endless covetousness and relentless pursuit.

But there was no fear in Chen Fei's eyes. Since he had chosen to come in, he had already prepared himself to face the storm.

With a thought, Chen Fei placed the half of the spiritual material directly into the Void Realm.

After doing all this, Chen Fei slowly turned around.

Those chaotic eyes pierced through layers of light barriers and saw the domineering spear light rushing toward the ninth level at an astonishing speed, traversing the first eight areas.

Chen Fei did not choose to immediately rush out with the spiritual materials and try to escape.

Carrying spiritual materials, one's aura cannot be concealed, and one will be tracked down no matter where one flees.

Since that's the case, let's fight.

Just as He Jinchuan's figure crashed into the ninth deep purple area, Chen Fei moved.

Under the terrifying pressure that could crush stars, the Guixu Dharma Form gripped the Chaos Halberd with both hands, unleashing the savage power forged by the Devouring God within its body to the extreme, and combined with the power of the Dao Domain, it suddenly took a step forward.

Facing the black spear light that tore through and pressed down, he slashed out with his halberd.

This halberd strike was filled with the most primal and violent power, as if it wanted to cleave through the immense pressure imposed upon it, along with the enemy in front of it.

"Humph!"

He Jinchuan snorted coldly, his fighting spirit burning even brighter as he faced Chen Fei's counterattack.

He could feel the terrifying pressure of the ninth level, which made his blood and qi surge and his movements sluggish.

Chen Fei, with his peak Tai Cang Realm cultivation, was able to unleash such power here, which was indeed beyond his expectations. However, this only fueled his competitive spirit.

Domineering Spear Shatters the Heavens!

The spear in He Jinchuan's hand suddenly burst forth with a dazzling dark light, and a black dragon seemed to coil around the spear shaft.

Ignoring the terrifying pressure around him, he poured all his life's cultivation and understanding of spear techniques into this one spear thrust, aiming straight at Chen Fei's halberd blade.

Wherever the spear tip passed, the deep purple space was torn open, leaving a dark mark that could not be healed for a long time. The destructive Daoist aura and the spear intent intertwined within, making its power terrifying beyond compare.

He intends to defeat Chen Fei head-on and seize the spiritual materials with the most powerful and domineering force.

"clang!"

The blade of the Chaos Halberd and the tip of the jet-black spear collided violently under the solidified pressure of the ninth zone.

There was no earth-shattering explosion, only a terrifying roar, like the collision of the cores of two stars.

At the center of the collision, space was forcibly squeezed into a pitch-black singularity that was constantly annihilated and reborn. The violent energy turbulence was tightly confined to a very small area, colliding wildly but unable to spread.

A halberd and a spear were frozen in mid-air, locked in a pure contest of strength.

Chen Fei's Guixu Dharma form flashed wildly, and two deep pits were etched into the crimson-gold platform beneath his feet.

He could sense that the power contained in He Jinchuan's spear was domineering and unparalleled, far surpassing Cheng Jing's previous power, and even more so than Yu Jinsheng's, possessing a pure and unyielding spear intent.

Under the terrifying pressure of the ninth level, the opponent's power did not seem to be greatly affected. On the contrary, it became more condensed and concentrated with the help of the pressure.

He Jinchuan also swayed slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

Among those of the same level, very few could withstand his earth-shattering spear strike head-on without retreating.

Chen Fei not only received the attack, but the power emanating from the halberd was also immense and contained strange forces of return to the void and spacetime, constantly eroding and disintegrating his spear momentum.

Furthermore, there was a ruthless devouring force attempting to turn against itself.

It is truly astonishing that the opponent could still unleash such combat power under such immense pressure.

"Okay, take a few more shots from me!"

He Jinchuan let out a long roar, his fighting spirit surging, and his spear stance suddenly changed from a straight thrust to a horizontal sweep.

In an instant, the jet-black spear transformed into countless spear shadows, each one as heavy as a star and as fast as lightning, carrying a domineering spear intent that could tear the sky apart, attacking Chen Fei from all directions.

The marksmanship was expansive and powerful, yet it resonated with the natural order, combining strength and skill to the extreme. Within this high-pressure zone, its power was amplified.

A surge of chaotic light erupted in Chen Fei's eyes. The Chaos Halberd in his hand perfectly fused the spacetime transformations of the Eternal Void Array Scripture with the true meaning of Returning to the Void forged by the Devouring God.

The halberd technique, though seemingly ancient, always manages to precisely deflect He Jinchuan's furious barrage of gunfire at the last possible moment.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

The two fought with lightning speed, engaging in a breathtaking close-quarters battle within the realm of the ninth layer of terrifying pressure.

Each collision unleashed a dull, thunderous roar, stirring up a small-scale energy storm, but it was quickly calmed down by the omnipresent pressure.

Gunfire and halberd flashes intertwined, chaos and darkness clashed, turning this deep purple area upside down.

In the blink of an eye, the two had exchanged more than dozens of blows. They were evenly matched, with neither able to gain a clear advantage.

He Jinchuan grew increasingly alarmed as the fight progressed.

He originally thought that with his strength, under such circumstances, even if he could not defeat Chen Fei quickly, he should be able to gain the upper hand and force the opponent to continuously wear him down until his Dao Domain showed a flaw.

But in reality, Chen Fei was like the most resilient reef, remaining unmoved no matter how fierce his attacks were, his defense was watertight, and his counterattacks were exceptionally sharp.

The opponent's foundation was so deep and their fighting strength so enduring that it far exceeded He Jinchuan's expectations.

"happy!"

He Jinchuan's fighting spirit burned to its peak. He was not anxious because he could not break through for a long time. On the contrary, he was even more excited.

The stronger the opponent, the greater the sense of accomplishment after defeating them.

He wielded his black spear with even greater ferocity, the spear thrusts rising wave after wave, determined to crush the stubborn rock before him with absolute power.

Domineering Spear Waves!

The spear shadows suddenly overlapped, transforming into nine solidified black waves, layer upon layer, carrying a terrifying power that could shatter the heavens and split the earth, surging down towards Chen Fei's Void Dharma Image like an overwhelming force.

This is one of He Jinchuan's signature techniques, which unleashes power in a special way, with its power increasing exponentially.

Chen Fei slightly raised his eyelids, and the three internal cultivation techniques were running wildly within his body, compressing the power of his Dao Domain onto the halberd blade.

The Chaos Halberd traced a profound trajectory, as if a miniature chaotic world emerged at its tip, carrying a terrifying Daoist aura that suppressed all heavens, and fiercely met the nine layers of overlapping waves.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Nine deafening thuds, like nine heavy hammer blows, struck the hearts of every spectator.

The violent energy clashed and annihilated wildly within the narrow ninth-level area, causing the surrounding deep purple light shield to ripple violently, its light flickering uncertainly.

"It actually blocked it?"

He Jinchuan's eyes gleamed with admiration. This unique skill of his had defeated several powerful enemies of the same level head-on. Even figures like Zhan Wuji and Yuwen Xuan would not dare to say that they could withstand it so easily.

However, Chen Fei, with his peak Tai Cang Realm cultivation, actually withstood the terrifying pressure of the ninth level without showing any signs of defeat.

The slight contempt He Jinchuan had initially felt for Chen Fei's trickery had completely vanished.

Instead, there is a solemn attitude that regards the other party as a true rival.

"This boy is qualified to fight me," He Jinchuan thought to himself, his fighting spirit rising even higher.

He is the type of person who thrives when facing strong opponents; the stronger the opponent, the more his potential is unleashed.

"Again!"

He Jinchuan roared, and the battle resumed.

The sounds of clashing spears and halberds were like a sudden storm, continuous and unending.

One hundred moves, one hundred and fifty moves, two hundred moves!

The battle intensified, and Chen Fei's strange power of returning to nothing and his interference with spacetime caused He Jinchuan's seemingly inevitable attacks to fail repeatedly.

Although He Jinchuan launched a relentless offensive with overwhelming power, he was unable to truly break through Chen Fei's Dao Domain defense, let alone find an opportunity to attack the core of his Dao Domain and damage his Heavenly Status.

Above the capital, the sky above the area where Chen Fei and He Jinchuan were fighting had long become the absolute focus.

Hundreds of millions of cultivators, regardless of their cultivation level, stared wide-eyed at the two enormous figures in the sky, locked in a fierce and unyielding battle under the terrifying pressure of deep purple.

"It's blocked, Chen Fei blocked it again."

"My Dao Ancestor, they have fought for nearly two hundred moves and still cannot determine a winner."

"Chen Fei intercepted He Jinchuan's domineering spear strike. How is that possible?"

"What exactly is Chen Fei's Dao Domain made of? How can it remain so stable even in a place like the ninth level?"

"He Jinchuan is a strongman with the ability to challenge for the top three, how come Chen Fei was able to fight him to this extent?"

"Is there any limit to Chen Fei's strength?"

"Who said Chen Fei relied on secret techniques and couldn't last long? He's already gone two hundred moves."

"This is terrifying. To be at the peak of the Tai Cang Realm and stand up to He Jinchuan, a top-tier half-step Heavenly Monarch, is simply a myth."

"It seems we all underestimated Chen Fei. He is absolutely qualified to compete for a top-five spot, or even higher."

Exclamations of surprise, exclamations of admiration, and incredulous discussions swept through the entire capital city like a tsunami.

Chen Fei's performance has repeatedly overturned everyone's perceptions.

His previous victory over Yu Jinsheng was shocking, but some people thought it was because Yu Jinsheng underestimated him, or because Chen Fei's secret technique was activated by chance.

But at this moment, facing He Jinchuan, whose strength is widely recognized as stronger, Chen Fei was still able to fight him for two hundred moves without being defeated in the extremely unfavorable environment of the ninth level. This fighting power and this tenacity have completely conquered countless spectators.

Those who had previously been pessimistic about Chen Fei, or who believed he would be eliminated early in the Yan Yang world, all fell silent at this moment.

Deep within the ninth zone, the fierce battle between Chen Fei and He Jinchuan has reached a fever pitch.

The dull, resounding clang of spears clashing was like a continuous thunderclap from the heavens, repeatedly surging and exploding within this confined space bound by extreme pressure.

Both sides reached their peak strength, yet they remained evenly matched, locked in a suffocating stalemate.

However, at this critical moment, another unexpected event occurred.

Outside the Crimson Gold Platform, two completely different yet equally vast and terrifying auras suddenly descended like comets tearing through the night sky.

An aura, cold and desolate, caused even the scorching air around it to condense into tiny ice crystals the moment it appeared, which then fluttered down.

At the source of the aura, a figure dressed in white, as pure and aloof as a fairy in the moon, floated silently—it was Ling Qingxue from the Ice Soul Divine Palace.

Her gaze was indifferent, like ancient ice, sweeping over the fiercely contested ninth-level area, finally settling on the half of the spiritual material that Chen Fei had taken.

The other aura was violent and scorching, filled with a world-destroying battle intent. The mere pressure it emitted caused the void surrounding the platform to subtly distort.

A tall, bare-chested figure, resembling an ancient war god, stood proudly on the other side with his arms crossed. It was Zhan Wuji of the Heavenly Battle Sect.

His eyes burned with a fierce fighting spirit, and a wild, unrestrained smile spread across his lips as he surveyed the battle within the light barrier with keen interest, his gaze sweeping back and forth between Chen Fei, He Jinchuan, and the half-portion of spiritual materials. (End of Chapter)
