Chapter 460: Breaking the Limit of Physique


Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


As the Spirit Suppression of the Suppressing Dragon Elephant technique reached the perfect state, and the Dragon Elephant’s aperture appeared within his body, Chen Fei’s physical recovery rate reached a new high.


Injuries like the one he just sustained, which pierced through his body, had minimal impact on Chen Fei’s combat prowess. Even if it accidentally affected his internal organs, besides a slight reduction in his maximum strength output, the other effects were very minor.


The key was Chen Fei’s incredibly fast recovery rate. Under the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, there was simply no one capable of damaging Chen Fei’s physical body beyond recovery.


Even in the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, as long as Chen Fei didn’t foolishly try to face everything head-on, the probability of escape was very high.


Especially in an environment like the Boundless Sea, where he possessed the Slaughter Spirit Technique and the Sword Return Eye, once Chen Fei distanced himself a certain amount, he could conceal his aura and disappear without a trace.


“Roar!”


It seemed like the creature sensed Chen Fei’s approaching aura, and it let out a sharp and terrifying cry, its voice echoing in the surroundings.


Moments ago, with one monster and three individuals joining forces, they were all forcefully broken through by Chen Fei alone. Now, only the monster remained, and how could it not be terrified? The power comparison between the two sides was simply not on the same level.


Chen Fei’s figure flickered, appearing in front of the creature. His Sword Qi flowed, shattering the vines that stood in his way one by one.


The creature roared frantically, and countless vines surged toward Chen Fei, but they couldn’t hinder him in the slightest. In fact, the Blood Flame directly attached to the vines, burning them all the way up.


“Sizzle!”


The Qianyuan Sword slashed through, and the ground around was filled with twisting vines.


This creature was actually quite powerful. Not only could it lure people into dreams and kill them in their dreams, but its own vine strength was also formidable. Those in the advanced Aperture Tempering realm stage would be no match for it.


Even those slightly weaker in the peak Aperture Tempering realm, in a direct fight with this creature, it was difficult to determine who would ultimately win.


Only those ranked on the Hidden Dragon and Young Phoenix Ranking, and they must be within the top ten, had the strength to surpa.s.s this creature. Otherwise, ending up with a mutually wounded outcome was quite normal.


“Boom!”


A loud explosion rang out, and the surrounding seawater sank several dozen meters. The creature’s body trembled slightly, and its aura gradually dissipated.


Several miles away, the two brothers, Mei Baiping and Mei Baizong, glanced at each other and shook their heads. Then, they quietly fled into the distance.


After being driven away by Geng w.a.n.gsheng, Mei Baiping and Mei Baizong didn’t actually leave. Instead, they cautiously lurked several miles away, observing the situation on the island.


If there was an opportunity, Mei Baiping and Mei Baizong didn’t mind playing the role of the hidden talent. After all, this creature was rare, and refining it would bring significant benefits to their martial cultivation.


The initial development did indeed go as the two brothers had antic.i.p.ated, with chaos erupting on the island. The more chaotic it became, the more opportunities there were to take advantage of the confusion.


However, the two brothers didn’t expect the end of this chaotic battle to come so quickly. In just a moment, only one person and one creature remained on the island, while the other three had all fled.


This outcome didn’t resemble the chaotic battles between peak Aperture Tempering realm cultivators at all. It even involved someone like Geng w.a.n.gsheng, who was ranked in the top seven of the Hidden Dragon and Young Phoenix Ranking.


And now, the creature had been slain at an extremely fast pace.


If Mei Baiping and Mei Baizong hadn’t seen the people on the island with their own eyes, they might have suspected that a Combined Aperture Tempering realm powerhouse had intervened and forcibly cleared the scene.


Facing such formidable individuals on the island, Mei Baiping and Mei Baizong were not foolish enough to play tricks like hiding in the shadows. They immediately fled.


If they were discovered by the person on the island later, it wouldn’t be easy to escape when someone was lurking nearby.


Several tens of miles away.


“The creature is dead!” Dai Yuqiu looked at the compa.s.s in her hand and said weakly.


In the middle of their escape, Du Guman suddenly woke up Dai Yuqiu. However, whether it was Dai Yuqiu or Du Guman herself, they were both in a severely injured state at the moment.


Dai Yuqiu had suffered severe mental injuries due to being forcefully broken through a formation, leading to a backlash.


Du Guman had engaged Chen Fei head-on, enduring the crushing force on her physical body and apertures, resulting in severe injuries. Of course, Chen Fei’s final arrow had inflicted even more damage on Du Guman.


In order to escape, Du Guman had also unleashed a forbidden technique, causing her fundamental essence to be affected. Even someone with Du Guman’s strong foundation, if they were replaced with another peak Aperture Tempering realm cultivator, they wouldn’t have had the strength to move at this moment.


Upon hearing Dai Yuqiu’s words, Du Guman remained silent, only turning to look in the direction of the island they had left behind.


This was the most devastating failure Du Guman had experienced in her many years. Over a year of waiting for the creature had gone to waste, and now she was heavily injured, with her foundation compromised.


The original plan was to refine the creature to enhance her own martial cultivation.


But now, this entire journey had not only failed to provide any a.s.sistance but had also directly impeded her future breakthrough to the Combined Aperture Tempering realm.


However, when Du Guman thought about the strength Chen Fei had displayed, she couldn’t help but admit that her defeat in this battle was not unjust. Faced with such power, no matter how many times she tried, the outcome would still be a bleak one.


Despite her inner reluctance, Du Guman wouldn’t shy away from acknowledging her shortcomings, because doing so would not only be meaningless but could also hinder her own martial cultivation.


“I wonder where this person suddenly came from. I’ve never heard of him before,” Dai Yuqiu murmured softly.


Dai Yuqiu was also somewhat impressed by Chen Fei. She couldn’t help but admit that she couldn’t accept this defeat. The fact that one person had swept aside a combined force of one creature and three others didn’t seem like the kind of power expected at the Aperture Tempering realm.


Yet, Dai Yuqiu was certain that the person on the island had not reached the Combined Aperture Tempering realm. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have even considered joining forces and would have left immediately.


It was precisely because they believed they were all in the Aperture Tempering realm that they had thought about teaming up, and the result was completely unexpected.


If someone had told Dai Yuqiu in the past that the top two on the Hidden Dragon and Young Phoenix Ranking teamed up to attack someone and were defeated so thoroughly, she would have thought that person was crazy.


But now, Dai Yuqiu realized that reality could be even crazier than her imagination.


“We may meet again someday,” Du Guman said softly, as if she were saying it to Dai Yuqiu and to herself.


On the island,


The island, which had been nearly a mile in diameter, had now sunk by more than half. Chen Fei stood in the center of the island, holding a round bead in his hand. It was the creature’s demonic core, containing all of its power.


Of course, items like the creature’s vines also held value. Following the principle of not wasting anything, Chen Fei completely integrated those vines into the demonic core, causing it to become even more crystalline and transparent.


At this moment, the Dragon Elephant’s aperture within Chen Fei’s body was slightly trembling, resonating with this demonic core.


Or, more accurately, the Dragon Elephant’s aperture seemed to have an instinctive desire for this demonic core, much like how the apertures in Chen Fei’s body naturally reacted to the essence of heaven and earth.


Chen Fei glanced around, stashed the demonic core into his sleeve, and then his figure flickered, disappearing from the island.


He wanted to find a safe place. This location had just witnessed a battle, and there might be individuals who sensed the disturbance and came to investigate. To avoid any potential disruptions, it was better to choose a more secluded location.


One day later, in a cave on a deserted island, Chen Fei sat cross-legged.


The demonic core floated silently in front of Chen Fei, emitting strange and subtle energies.


Chen Fei had experimented with it and found that if he used this demonic core to perform the Dream Entry Technique, its power could increase significantly.


The Dream Entry Technique was extraordinary, but it was ultimately incomplete, and it wasn’t Chen Fei’s main cultivation method. Using this demonic core solely for the Dream Entry Technique seemed like a bit of a waste.


What Chen Fei was even more curious about was what changes would occur within his body’s Dragon Elephant’s aperture after refining this demonic core.


The Suppressing Dragon Elephant within Chen Fei’s body began to operate, causing the air around him to tremble violently. The demonic core gradually approached Chen Fei, and threads of power were extracted from it, entering Chen Fei’s physical body.


“Hum!”


As the Dragon Elephant’s aperture absorbed the power from the demonic core, the aperture itself trembled intensely. Then, a rich force feedbacked from the aperture and flowed into Chen Fei’s physique.


Chen Fei’s physical strength, which had been stagnant for a long time, actually started to increase slightly.


Chen Fei was surprised. Initially, he thought the Dragon Elephant’s aperture would undergo some changes after consuming the demonic core’s power. However, he hadn’t expected that the Dragon Elephant’s aperture would act as an intermediary, directly converting the demonic core’s power into physical strength and feeding it into Chen Fei’s body.


A long-lost feeling of power growth filled Chen Fei’s heart.


The Suppressing Dragon Elephant technique had truly brought him more and more surprises and unexpected benefits. It was a technique with boundless applications.


Much of Chen Fei’s current strength was thanks to the Suppressing Dragon Elephant. While the Primordial Sword Scripture was extraordinary, it didn’t reach the point of dominating all others.


In the Boundless Sea and within the Thousand Feathers Alliance, there were many cultivation techniques that were as strong as or even stronger than the Primordial Sword Scripture. However, when facing pract.i.tioners of these techniques at the same cultivation level, Chen Fei could fearlessly confront anyone. Even when faced with a concerted attack from peers, Chen Fei remained unfazed.


It was precisely because of the combination of the Primordial Sword Scripture and the Suppressing Dragon Elephant that Chen Fei had enough confidence.


Now, with the Dragon Elephant’s aperture absorbing the power of the demonic core, Chen Fei’s physique was still strengthening. This enhancement gave Chen Fei a sense of breaking through limits.


It wasn’t a breakthrough of his mental state, but a breakthrough of his physical body.


The Combined Aperture Tempering realm was superior to the Aperture Tempering realm not only in terms of elemental cultivation but also in terms of physical strength and physique. When a cultivator broke through from the Aperture Tempering realm to the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, their physique had to be retempered to withstand the more powerful elemental bursts. Otherwise, if they retained their Aperture Tempering realm physique, they would likely hurt themselves as soon as they released their elemental power.


At this moment, as Chen Fei continuously refined the demonic core, his physique was gradually approaching that of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm.


Chen Fei’s brows furrowed slightly. Was it possible that his physique would reach the Combined Aperture Tempering realm before his cultivation?


With elemental cultivation at the Combined Aperture Tempering realm and a physique akin to the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, Chen Fei would truly become invincible within the Aperture Tempering realm. This was because the two were simply not on the same level.


When that time came, Chen Fei might not even get injured in situations like today’s battle..
