Chapter 793: Suppress the World

“Boom!”
Chen Fei’s feet trembled violently, cracks spreading out in all directions.
With the Qianyuan Sword in hand, Chen Fei blocked the monster’s onslaught.
His innate talents, the Domain Suppression and Adamantine Body, remained dim, devoid of any brilliance.
Obviously, the monster’s full-force strike hadn’t even pierced through Chen Fei’s ordinary defense, hence failing to trigger his innate talents.
After breaking through to a higher realm, the innate boost in combat prowess proved more effective than any cultivation technique.
However, without sufficient mastery of techniques, it would be challenging to break through the barriers of realms. The relationship between the two was complementary; neither could be forsaken.
“Clang!”
The Qianyuan Sword hummed softly as the monster’s body was pushed back. Stepping forward, Chen Fei was surrounded by countless arcs of electricity, and at that moment, the Qianyuan Sword seemed to transform into a thunderbolt.
In the next instant, a violet radiance flashed, splitting the monster’s arms into two.
Not only its arms but even the monster’s body was cleaved in half.
“Zi zi zi!”
Electric arcs crazily entwined around the monster, preventing the black mist from healing its injuries.
There was no need to wield the Xuanyuan Sword; the sheer power of thunder at this moment achieved the same effect as the Xuanyuan Sword of the past.
The monster opened its mouth wide, its eyes fixed firmly on Chen Fei, devoid of fear or dread, only harboring an icy chill that seemed to seep into the bone, as if it intended to transform into the abyss, dragging Chen Fei down into the depths.
With a slight lift of his eyelids, Chen Fei flipped the Qianyuan Sword and thrust it straight into the monster’s head.
“Boom!”
A deafening explosion echoed as the monster’s head instantly burst apart.
Lifting the Qianyuan Sword high, Chen Fei swung it down toward the monster’s remaining body.
Stimulated by Chen Fei’s techniques, the energies of heaven and earth converged into a several-meter-wide thunder pillar in mid-air, joining forces with the Qianyuan Sword to cleave through the monster’s body.
The monster’s body writhed frantically, attempting to break free from the constraints and erosion of the thunder, but the Qianyuan Sword was firmly embedded in its body.
Slowly, the monster’s struggles weakened, its life force dwindling.
Chen Fei withdrew the Qianyuan Sword, and a shadow of a dragon and elephant appeared behind him. The Adamantine Body talent activated, and the shadow of the dragon and elephant seemed to be enveloped in a layer of golden light. “Bang!”
Chen Fei swept out with a sword, the air rupturing as the blade passed through. The monster’s body trembled slightly, then in an instant, it was swept into powder, its essence completely dissipated.
A spiritual light flew out from the monster’s body, rushing into the Jade Ruler.
Chen Fei sheathed the Qianyuan Sword and reflected on the details of the battle just now.
Breaking through to the mid-stage of the Mountain Sea Realm had indeed demonstrated the power of the Purple Sky Stellar Sword at the Perfection level, no longer constrained by elemental energy as in the early stages of the realm.
Although the Adamantine Body talent was still in its infancy, the ten percent increase in strength had already shown remarkable effects.
And when this talent was further elevated to the Great Completion stage, the boost in combat prowess would be simply off the charts.
Moreover, reaching the Great Completion stage with the Purple Sky Stellar Sword, unlocking the seven stars within the body, and then activating the talent technique Sword Dominates the Galaxy, just thinking about it felt exhilarating.
“Simplify!”
“Simplifying the Adamantine Body talent… Simplification successful… Adamantine Body talent -» Pummeling the body!”
Chen Fei glanced at the panel and simplified the Adamantine Body talent, spending some premium elemental stones. However, for the current Chen Fei, this amount wasn’t considered much.
The result of the simplification was quite straightforward, resembling the way martial artists in the Body Tempering realm cultivated their physical strength.
Taking his gaze away from the panel, Chen Fei looked into the distance.
Having only just killed a few mid-stage Fourth-Tier monsters, it wasn’t even considered a warm-up. Naturally, Chen Fei had no intention of leaving the barrier so soon.
As for the late-stage Fourth-Tier monsters, Chen Fei had never encountered them before, so he couldn’t judge their combat power.
After all, even mid-stage Fourth-Tier monsters had undergone significant changes compared to a few days ago, so there was no reason to assume that late-stage Fourth-Tier monsters remained unchanged.
However, near the entrance of the Stone Forest Canyon, there shouldn’t be monsters of that rank. Chen Fei’s current field of vision was good, and if he noticed anything amiss, he could leave directly.
Half an hour later, Chen Fei stood at the entrance of the Stone Forest Canyon.
On the ground, the corpses of several monsters had turned into black mist, disappearing without a trace, leaving only a pile of powder behind.
Chen Fei glanced down at his Jade Ruler. Including the monsters he had initially killed, there were now three points in the middle tier and twelve points in the lower tier.
The harvest of this half-hour alone far exceeded Chen Fei’s total from the previous few days.
This was the most noticeable change brought about by the improvement in combat power.
If Chen Fei were still in the early stages of the Mountain Sea Realm, he would only dare to cautiously choose early-stage Fourth-Tier monsters or tackle mid-stage Fourth-Tier monsters individually.
But now, Chen Fei could boldly confront monsters as long as their numbers weren’t excessively overwhelming.
However, despite standing at the entrance of the Stone Forest Canyon, Chen Fei hesitated to enter.
Just now, he had thought that there shouldn’t be late-stage Fourth-Tier monsters in the gorge, yet now Chen Fei had spotted one.
It had to be said that Xiao Qiping and the others’ ability to escape back a few days ago was largely due to luck.
Of course, it was also possible that there were no late-stage Fourth-Tier monsters at that time, and this monster had arrived recently.
Inside the gorge, dozens of monsters had gathered: nine mid-stage Fourth- Tier, one late-stage Fourth-Tier, and the rest were all early-stage Fourth-Tier.
With this number of monsters, even without a late-stage Fourth-Tier among them, Chen Fei wouldn’t be able to charge in recklessly.
While Chen Fei’s armor was thick enough, the sheer number of monsters was too insane. Chen Fei saw no need to risk his life in such a reckless venture.
The entire Black Divine Barrier wasn’t limited to just the Stone Forest Canyon for monster sightings; Chen Fei could explore other directions as well.
Turning around, Chen Fei identified the direction and ran towards another area.
There might be some situations in the Stone Forest Canyon, but Chen Fei’s current strength wasn’t sufficient for exploration.
Three hours later, Chen Fei appeared several miles outside the city wall.
On the Jade Ruler, the mid-tier points had reached five, while the lower-tier points stood at sixteen.
After leaving the entrance of the Stone Forest Canyon, Chen Fei encountered few monsters along the way. As long as they weren’t in overwhelming groups, he would approach and slay them.
However, the monsters that were easily dispatched had been continually cleaned out by other Mountain Sea Realm experts and Monster Kings recently. Those remaining were tough nuts to crack.
After exploring for a distance, Chen Fei chose to return.
As Chen Fei looked ahead at the city wall, his breath began to fluctuate. Using the Slaughter Spirit Technique combined with the Sword Contraction Technique within the Purple Sky Stellar Sword, Chen Fei lowered his realm to the early stage of the Mountain Sea Realm.
The limit of the Slaughter Spirit Technique had been reached. After further realm advancement, it would no longer be able to perfectly conceal Chen Fei’s realm as it did before.
Chen Fei’s concealment of his realm nowadays was more of a subconscious behavior.
Inside the city wall, as Chen Fei was about to leave the barrier, he suddenly turned his head to the side and noticed several people staring at him.
When Chen Fei turned, those people even nodded at him before leaving.
Chen Fei’s gaze flickered slightly; it was Xiao Qiping and his group. He hadn’t expected to encounter them again today.
Turning back, Chen Fei left the barrier and entered the Mission Hall.
As usual, the Mission Hall was bustling with people. Chen Fei approached the counter.
“Purple Crystal Soil, Pearl Light Stone, Earth Vein Water…”
Chen Fei selected several spiritual materials, all necessary for crafting spiritual treasures.
With the contribution points Chen Fei currently possessed, he could exchange for quite a few valuable items, such as pills to enhance cultivation.
However, there was a somewhat awkward issue now: Chen Fei’s Adamantine Body talent was still in its introductory stage.
At this point, if Chen Fei were to forge the fifth Divine Palace with the Adamantine Body talent only at the introductory stage, even with the support of his other talents, breaking through the void barrier would be quite challenging.
Entering the void was already difficult enough, let alone dragging several Divine Palaces to find talents. In the end, it would only waste the opportunity to select talents.
At a normal pace, it was almost inevitable to take two to three years to cultivate a talent to Great Completion, even with the support of the panel.
Fortunately, with the Black Divine Barrier now in place, Chen Fei could absorb insights every night.
Chen Fei decided to focus on advancing the Adamantine Body talent next, rather than rushing to enhance the Purple Sky Stellar Sword.
After all, reaching the Great Completion stage with the Purple Sky Stellar Sword would allow Chen Fei to break through to the later stages of the Mountain Sea Realm without encountering many obstacles.
Although not reaching Great Completion would affect his combat power, enhancing the foundational realm was evidently more important now.
The feeling the Black Divine Barrier gave Chen Fei wasn’t good, so he decided to take advantage of it while there were no other mishaps. He would seize every opportunity to benefit from it.
Chen Fei decided that from now on, every day after leaving the Black Divine Barrier, he would spend his contribution points first.
This was to prevent any unforeseen circumstances where his contribution points might become useless, leading to a significant loss for him.
At this moment, Chen Fei emptied all his contribution points and exchanged them for enough spiritual materials to upgrade all four of his spiritual treasures to the middle grade.
With the materials in hand, Chen Fei returned to his secret chamber.
He took out the Qianyuan Sword and inserted it into the Pearl Light Stone he had exchanged.
The spiritual essence contained within the Pearl Light Stone surged into the Qianyuan Sword.
This rather crude method of upgrading spiritual treasures actually wasted spiritual materials. The best approach would be to hire a master craftsman to melt the Pearl Light Stone into the Qianyuan Sword.
However, this method was quite time-consuming, and finding a master craftsman wasn’t easy. Top-tier craftsmen often required waiting for their availability.
For Chen Fei, time was essentially equivalent to contribution points now.
If he had to wait for a craftsman, he might as well upgrade the spiritual treasures himself.
Although it would waste some spiritual materials, he could always earn them back later.
The Qianyuan Sword was just one step away from being a middle-grade spiritual treasure. As the spiritual essence surged from the Pearl Light Stone, the sword’s spirituality continuously ascended until it reached the critical point.
“Buzz!”
As the Pearl Light Stone shattered into useless fragments, the Qianyuan Sword trembled slightly. A ripple spread out, directly advancing it to the level of a middle-grade spiritual treasure.
A beam of light flowed from the hilt of the Qianyuan Sword, extending all the way to the tip, filling the entire secret chamber with a chilling aura.
Having money truly made things easier. With this, the Qianyuan Sword didn’t even need time for refinement; it directly broke through to a new rank.
Chen Fei stepped forward, grasping the hilt of the Qianyuan Sword, feeling the excitement of its spirituality. A smile couldn’t help but appear on Chen Fei’s face.
The Qianyuan Sword had been with Chen Fei since he was in the Visceral Tempering realm. In the future, Chen Fei hoped that the Qianyuan Sword could continue to accompany him, facing challenges and dominating the world with his sword!
