Chapter 664: Dragon Elephant, Dragon Elephant!
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Before, Chen Fei opened the Seven Forbidden Techniques and ruthlessly overwhelmed Tan Bingxiu and the other two because Chen Fei’s power far surpassed theirs. He could forcibly suppress their backlash with the elemental force within his body.
But now, Shen Yuanjun’s power is much stronger than that of Tan Bingxiu and the others, so much so that Chen Fei, attempting to suppress this backlash with elemental force, finds himself inadequate.
Unable to suppress this backlash, the most immediate result is that Chen Fei’s physical body begins to deteriorate, ravaged by the force unleashed by Shen Yuanjun.
Things were not looking good for Chen Fei; it seemed as if he might burst into pieces at any moment. However, Shen Yuanjun, on the opposite side, was no better off.
The power possessed by the Seven Forbidden Techniques was merely passively perceived from afar, making it impossible to ever truly understand the madness and cruelty within.
Shen Yuanjun sensed Chen Fei’s and Tan Bingxiu’s battle with elemental energy, thinking he had an understanding of this power. But only when they truly engaged in combat did Shen Yuanjun realize that he had underestimated this power.
Shen Yuanjun also activates a forbidden technique, causing the force exerted by Chen Fei to wreak havoc on Shen Yuanjun’s body balance as well.
“Huuu!”
Shen Yuanjun steps back, taking a deep breath, like a whale devouring a tiger, while the elemental energy within the mysterious realm reverses, forcibly aiding Shen Yuanjun in resisting the force within his body.
The entire mysterious realm trembled violently, and several hundred-meter-long cracks appeared in the sky. Within the cracks, darkness enveloped everything, with only the thunderous sound of spatial tearing echoing out.
All the cultivators in the late Combined Aperture Tempering realm looked up at the sky, filled with trepidation in their hearts.
They didn’t know what was happening, but such power, even if just the aftermath reached them, spelled certain death.
Even those in the late Combined Aperture Tempering realm, standing at the pinnacle of their cultivation, faced with this power, injury was inevitable, with no possibility of resistance.
Inside the altar, Chen Fei’s hair wildly swirled backward.
Chen Fei looked at Shen Yuanjun, his entire body trembling violently, and the roaring of the dragon and elephant started to sound. Initially imperceptible, but in the blink of an eye, the roar of the dragon and elephant resounded in all directions.
The three ultimate techniques of Suppressing Dragon Elephant Body Tempering, Soul Tempering, Spirit Tempering, were operating at their peak within Chen Fei’s body. A powerful force continuously flowed from the depths of Chen Fei’s soul, flowing through his mind, flowing through his body and limbs.
Within his mind, within his flesh and blood, a similar force emerged, then flowed into his soul.
A complete cycle appeared within Chen Fei’s body, and faintly, a phantom appeared behind him, with the body of a dragon, claws like dragon claws, teeth like dragon teeth, covered in dragon scales, stepping on the void, with the sun and moon above its head!
The surrounding primal elemental energy around the altar, which was once boiling, quieted down completely with the appearance of this phantom.
An overwhelming force, beyond compare, manifested within a radius of about a mile, like a domain forcefully suppressing everything.
Shen Yuanjun looked at the phenomenon behind Chen Fei, his eyes widening slightly. What kind of technique was this? The sudden emergence of power around him seemed somewhat reminiscent of the talents recorded in the Minghe Record.
Could this be a technique that cultivators in the Combined Aperture Tempering realm could control?
Countless questions flooded Shen Yuanjun’s mind. When Chen Fei had just slain Tan Bingxiu and the others, he hadn’t even exerted his full power?
Before Shen Yuanjun could fully grasp the situation, he saw Chen Fei take a step forward. Within his body, not only his own power but also the force Shen Yuanjun had just unleashed, were all suppressed and melded by Chen Fei, then unleashed in a strike.
Although it was still the Seven Forbidden Techniques, this strike was undoubtedly much stronger than Chen Fei’s previous one.
Sensing the power of this strike from Chen Fei, Shen Yuanjun’s expression became extremely grave.
Using force against force was not uncommon in martial arts. Many cultivators in the Body Tempering realm could achieve this.
However, there was a limit to using force against force. Going beyond this limit meant allowing the enemy’s power to ruthlessly crush one’s own body from within.
Just moments ago, Chen Fei’s body was clearly on the brink of breaking apart. But now, with the appearance of that earth-shattering phenomenon, all the forces present within Chen Fei’s body were forcibly suppressed.
After suppressing them, they were then converted into his own power and forcefully unleashed.
Shen Yuanjun considered himself knowledgeable in various martial arts, able to simulate most techniques by sensing elemental energy fluctuations. But now, watching Chen Fei execute his techniques, Shen Yuanjun was completely bewildered.
Moreover, just now, in order to dissipate the force, Shen Yuanjun had taken a step back.
This step seemed insignificant, as in Shen Yuanjun’s view, his retreat would naturally force Chen Fei to retreat even further. After all, with his body on the brink of collapse, if Chen Fei didn’t find a way to release his power, he would undoubtedly be the one to perish.
However, Chen Fei did the unexpected by not retreating but advancing instead, breaking all of Shen Yuanjun’s combat rhythms in one fell swoop, and this strike was overwhelmingly powerful.
Within the mysterious realm, the primal elemental energy churned madly, surging towards Shen Yuanjun. He gripped the blade in his hands and reversed it towards Chen Fei.
With Shen Yuanjun’s strength, even veins bulged on his forehead at this moment, as if what he was wielding wasn’t a blade but a colossal entity.
And indeed, that was the case. Faced with Chen Fei’s strike, Shen Yuanjun forcefully manipulated the power of the mysterious realm, attempting to withstand Chen Fei’s attack with its power.
“Buzz!”
Silently, as the swords clashed, a massive spherical form expanded from the point of impact, completely enveloping the two combatants.
Within the sphere were countless sword elements and blade energies, with intricate spatial cracks rampant throughout. Wherever the sphere passed, everything was crushed into ruins, reduced to primal energy.
The gates of the Fallen Heaven Pavilion shattered in an instant, and the figures of Chen Fei and Shen Yuanjun appeared in the midst of the mysterious realm.
“Boom!”
The sphere of energy exploded, causing the earth to roll and the ground to be carved for nearly a hundred meters, revealing the space barrier below. Within a radius of about a mile, all the Evil disappeared.
Only the cultivators in the late Combined Aperture Tempering realm, sensing the fear in their hearts, had already avoided that location, and thus remained unscathed.
However, as these late Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators looked at the destruction caused by the two figures in the air, they were filled with horror.
They had never imagined that cultivators in the Combined Aperture Tempering realm could exhibit such exaggerated power. Compared to these two individuals, the power of other late Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators seemed insignificant.
It was as if there needed to be another realm between the Combined Aperture Tempering realm and the Mountain Sea Realm, specifically tailored for these two.
“Pfft!”
Shen Yuanjun’s already pale face lost all its color in an instant, his entire body trembling, and within the blink of an eye, he was drenched in blood.
“Boom!”
Unable to control his trajectory, Shen Yuanjun was sent flying backwards, crashing directly into the space barrier below.
The space barrier trembled violently, rippling like water, while black fissures tore at Shen Yuanjun’s body.
Unable to suppress it any longer, Shen Yuanjun erupted with another massive spray of blood, his aura continuing to decline rapidly, already thoroughly injured, with even the primal elemental energy within the mysterious realm unable to suppress him.
“Roar!”
In the air, the phantom behind Chen Fei let out a tremendous roar, causing Chen Fei’s body to tremble slightly as the backlash force within him was once again suppressed.
The Suppressing Dragon Elephant, controlling all the power within his body, suppressing all external forces!
When Chen Fei obtained the Suppressing Dragon Elephant technique in the Body Tempering realm, this technique already demonstrated its mystical nature.
However, as Chen Fei’s cultivation realm increased and his opponents became stronger, Suppressing Dragon Elephant became increasingly difficult to control various forces.
But with the emergence of Suppressing Dragon Elephant Soul Tempering, where spirit, essence, and soul are united, Suppressing Dragon Elephant formed a complete entity, showcasing its powerful traits once again.
This formidable trait, naturally, was not invincible. It was impossible to suppress all the forces rushing into the body forcefully. Once surpassing the upper limit that the Suppressing Dragon Elephant could control, it would ultimately lose control.
But undoubtedly, Shen Yuanjun’s power had not yet reached the realm beyond Suppressing Dragon Elephant’s control.
Chen Fei’s clone had already dissipated by now. During the clash of the first move, the clone couldn’t bear the pressure brought by the Conjoined Body Technique, so Chen Fei directly withdrew it.
And now, with Suppressing Dragon Elephant, Chen Fei no longer needs the clone to share the burden. Indeed, the clone was now too weak.
Shen Yuanjun looked up at Chen Fei, his gaze clouded with gloom.
Decades ago, captured by the Fallen Heaven Pavilion, Shen Yuanjun had no power to resist. But relying on his innate talent, he evaded the erasure of his spiritual wisdom by the Fallen Heaven Pavilion and went into hiding.
For decades, motionless and thoughtless, his spirit, essence, and soul were all at the threshold between the Mountain Sea Realm, only to finally rise to the heavens.
Shen Yuanjun had always seen himself as the role of the hunter, hunting down the Fallen Heaven Pavilion, ultimately achieving his own glory.
With Chen Fei’s appearance, the target changed. Now it was to hunt down Chen Fei, starting from the early stages of the Mountain Sea Realm, and leaping towards higher aspirations.
However, Shen Yuanjun had not expected Chen Fei’s power to be so formidable, despite being on the threshold of the Mountain Sea Realm. In such a confrontation, he found himself completely at a disadvantage.
What kind of Combined Aperture Tempering realm was this? How could a Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivator be like this? This was completely unreasonable!
It defied all logic!
The distant Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators, looking at Chen Fei in the air, had already seen him and his companions earlier.
As for the other person, they were completely unfamiliar with him. To think that there was another peak Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivator within the Fallen Heaven Pavilion?
Moreover, sensing his aura, he was much stronger than Tan Bingxiu and the others.
But if the Fallen Heaven Pavilion indeed had a fourth peak Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivator, why didn’t they appear earlier? Why only now?
Chen Fei stood in the air, overlooking Shen Yuanjun. He took a step forward with his right foot and disappeared from his original position.
Shen Yuanjun’s heart skipped a beat as the primal elemental energy roared within the mysterious realm, and the space barrier was torn apart. Shen Yuanjun vanished in an instant, intending to directly escape the mysterious realm.
Faced with Chen Fei, whose power bordered on the absurd for a Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivator, Shen Yuanjun no longer wished to continue the fight. He would find a suitable peak Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivator to devour and achieve a breakthrough into the Mountain Sea Realm.
At that time, Shen Yuanjun would surely come looking for Chen Fei again.
Shen Yuanjun knew very well that Chen Fei had just broken through to the peak of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm. It was absolutely impossible for him to break through to the Mountain Sea Realm in a short period. However, Shen Yuanjun himself could.
As long as there was a suitable target, Shen Yuanjun could even become a formidable figure in the Mountain Sea Realm within a few days.
Even against the absurdity of Chen Fei’s power within the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, facing the might of the Mountain Sea Realm, Chen Fei would still be subdued.
When the time came to capture Chen Fei and devour him once again, Shen Yuanjun would complete the replenishment of his own foundation.
“Buzz!”
Within a radius of about a mile, the void trembled, and immense power descended. Shen Yuanjun’s figure appeared, halting in mid-air.
Behind Chen Fei, the dragon and elephant roared freely, and wherever its six feet tread, everything stood still.
It wasn’t exactly a domain, but it was as effective as one, albeit only able to bind Shen Yuanjun for a moment.
Chen Fei stepped through the void, like a dragon and elephant suppressing a prison, and in an instant, he was before Shen Yuanjun, sweeping out with his broken ruler in hand.
Shen Yuanjun’s expression was gloomy, showing no fear of death as he stared directly at Chen Fei, as if he wanted to remember every detail of Chen Fei’s features.
“Boom!”
