In such a filthy environment, not to mention the Thousand Feathers Alliance, even in the Xiangtan Domain alone, there were plenty of such occurrences, which was not surprising.
However, unfortunately, Chen Fei had possessed more than just the Heavenly Eye technique.
Yu Xinfeng had seen the person in front of him remain silent for a long time, and the pressure in his heart had grown stronger.
Although the person in front of him had not emitted a strong aura or shown any signs of killing intent, deep down, Yu Xinfeng had been extremely wary of this person, and there had even been a hint of inexplicable resentment.
The depth of this resentment had been so profound that it had made Yu Xinfeng somewhat bewildered.
Chen Fel’s gaze had flickered, and under the illumination of his divine soul, a glimmer of light had flickered in the depths of Yu Xinfeng’s sea of consciousness.
Having worn down his own divine soul to just a glimmer of light, just from this point alone, one could see how ruthless Shen Yuanjun had been towards him.
If it hadn’t been for the Fallen Heaven Pavilion, allowing Shen Yuanjun to grow smoothly, there might have been another Mountain Sea Realm expert in the Thousand Feathers Alliance.
However, unfortunately, there had been no “ifs” in everything.
The Fallen Heaven Pavilion had killed Shen Yuanjun, and afterwards Shen Yuanjun had wanted to devour Chen Fei, leading to the current situation.
To eradicate the roots, unless there had been no chance, otherwise, having already incurred enmity, regardless of anything, Chen Fei had had no reason to let him go.
Shen Yuanjun might need to spend nearly a hundred years to cultivate back to his previous level. By then, Chen Fei would have long lost track of how far he had progressed on the martial path.
Chen Fei could easily spare Shen Yuanjun because their future cultivations would only diverge further, with Shen Yuanjun posing almost no threat.
But as for Chen Fei’s future cultivation, that was his own matter. Shen Yuanjun had initially attempted to devour Chen Fei in the Mysterious realm, so he had to pay the price for it.
To repay enmity with direct action, that was Chen Fei’s way!
As Chen Fei’s gaze fell upon him, his demeanor gradually changed, resembling a primordial behemoth overlooking all beings. Yu Xinfeng felt as if electricity surged through him, paralyzing him from head to toe in an instant.
Though Yu Xinfeng instinctively attempted to resist, he found himself unable to move, only able to watch Chen Fei with wide eyes.
Yu Xinfeng tried to speak but suddenly felt his consciousness grow dim in his sea of knowledge, his awareness gradually fading until he lost all sensation.
Closing his eyes, Yu Xinfeng reopened them to find his entire demeanor completely transformed.
Yu Xinfeng, or rather Shen Yuanjun, stared directly at Chen Fei, his eyes filled with complexity.
Shen Yuanjun remained silent because speaking at this moment would be futile.
Even after wearing down his divine soul to such an extent, he still couldn’t escape his pursuer’s relentless hunt.
People all praised his unparalleled talent, and Shen Yuanjun had never yielded to anyone in his life. Even the Fallen Heaven Pavilion, not even the Mountain Sea Realm powerhouse Min Yanlu, Shen Yuanjun merely felt that they had advanced a step earlier.
But facing Chen Fei, a genius whose age belied his extraordinary strength, Shen Yuanjun couldn’t even refuse to yield if he wanted to.
As Chen Fei looked at Shen Yuanjun’s expression, he formed a sword gesture with his right hand and pointed it forward.
Shen Yuanjun gazed at Chen Fei’s sword gesture and, in a daze, saw scenes from his past in the Thousand Feathers Alliance.
Full of spirit, regarding everyone as insignificant.
A hundred years pa.s.sed leisurely, and the name Shen Yuanjun had become history in the Thousand Feathers Alliance.
“Buzz!”
A divine light was pointed out from behind Yu Xinfeng. In the distortion, one could vaguely see Shen Yuanjun’s figure.
The divine light trembled slightly and then dissipated into nothingness.
Yu Xinfeng collapsed onto the ground, and Chen Fei glanced at him before his figure flickered and disappeared into the courtyard.
Shen Yuanjun was dead, and as for Yu Xinfeng, he was just a body chosen by Shen Yuanjun. Whether to kill or spare, for Chen Fei, there was no difference at all.
Several hours later, Chen Fei returned to the Primordial Sword Sect and began a new round of secluded cultivation.
Currently, all of Chen Fei’s techniques, except for the Suppressing Dragon Elephant Soul Tempering, had reached their peak through his cultivation.
Chen Fei no longer practiced new techniques because they offered little help to him. Only by fully mastering the Suppressing Dragon Elephant Soul Tempering, a Mountain Sea realm technique, could he gain the most benefit.
In the blink of an eye, a month pa.s.sed, and as Chen Fei progressed from novice to mastery in the Suppressing Dragon Elephant Soul Tempering, his soul became increasingly agile. The nourishment of the world’s vitality on his soul grew stronger.
However, since the Suppressing Dragon Elephant Soul Tempering was incomplete, Chen Fei still needed to attain perfection in it. Once he achieved this, he could find an appropriate time to break through to the Mountain Sea Realm.
During Chen Fei’s secluded cultivation, the Thousand Feathers Alliance gradually calmed down.
The once rampant strangeness, with the disappearance of the Fallen Heaven Pavilion, began to dissipate gradually.
The sea monsters that had continuously occupied the sea areas slowed their pace and started consolidating the order in their existing territories.
Between the Thousand Feathers Alliance and the sea monsters, it seemed that a certain tacit understanding had been reached.
Upon learning that the sea monsters were no longer as aggressive, a faint smile appeared on the faces of everyone within the Thousand Feathers Alliance.
The pressure the sea monsters had imposed on the Thousand Feathers Alliance had been immense, to the extent that many sects and ordinary people were constantly worried that the sea monsters might suddenly appear in their territories.
Within the Primordial Sword Sect, with the resources brought by Chen Fei, Qu Qingsheng was the first to reach the peak of the Aperture Tempering realm, and Zhou Zixuan and the others were only a few apertures away from reaching the same realm.
Chen Fei’s master, Feng Xiupu, had already broken through to the later stage of the Aperture Tempering realm.
In just over a decade, opening dozens of apertures, Feng Xiupu’s progress had been remarkable. Even in some major sects, such a cultivation speed was considered the pace only geniuses could achieve.
Senior Brother Guo Linshan, when he first arrived in the Boundless Sea, had broken through to the Aperture Tempering realm.
Now, after more than ten years, Guo Linshan’s cultivation had reached the middle stage of the Aperture Tempering realm, and he was striving towards the later stage.
As for Senior Sister Zhang Fangqiong, her cultivation was at the same level as Guo Linshan’s, also in the middle stage of the Aperture Tempering realm.
Chi Shuqing, now in the later stage of the Aperture Tempering realm, is only a few steps away from reaching the peak of this realm.
Frequently discussing cultivation issues with Chen Fei, it was almost inevitable for Chi Shuqing to reach this realm. With Chen Fei’s support, she even hoped to attempt the Combined Aperture Tempering realm in the future, with significant prospects.
Ge Hongjie, after failing to break through to the Aperture Tempering realm for the second time on the Primordial Water Island, had thought that he would spend his life lingering in the Visceral Tempering realm.
However, in recent years, with the increasing resources within the Primordial Sword Sect and the friendship between Chen Fei and Ge Hongjie, the medicinal pills targeting injuries for martial pract.i.tioners in the Body Tempering realm were not a big deal for the Primordial Sword Sect anymore.
Ge Hongjie succeeded in his third attempt to break through.
Perhaps due to his acc.u.mulation in the Body Tempering realm, he quickly progressed from the Aperture Tempering realm to the middle stage in a very short time.
As the saying goes, “acc.u.mulation leads to breakthroughs.”
Chen Fei’s companion since Pingyin County, Chi Defeng, was now at the peak of the Visceral Tempering realm.
Given Chi Defeng’s advanced age and average martial talent, reaching the peak of the Visceral Tempering realm relied on many years of continuous refinement of medicinal pills.
However, Chi Defeng himself was extremely satisfied with his then-current state of cultivation and life.
Although Chi Defeng had average martial talent, his son, who had received medicinal pills from Chen Fei while in the womb, had reached the same level of cultivation as Chi Defeng, achieving the peak of the Visceral Tempering realm at a young age.
With some more refinement, he could attempt to break through to the Aperture Tempering realm.
Si Yuanhai, from the Resisting Evil lineage, had intentionally collected many martial techniques upon arriving in the Boundless Sea, and Chen Fei had even provided some to him.
Si Yuanhai had relied on a second-tier Evil to borrow its power, similarly elevating his own realm to the second order.
His granddaughter, Si Yinan, had been exceptionally talented in the Art of Resisting Evil. In just a decade, she had reached the later stage of the second order and forcibly controlled a peak second-tier Evil.
In terms of combat strength, Si Yinan had been no different from the average peak of the Visceral Tempering realm pract.i.tioners, and in some aspects, she may have even surpa.s.sed them.
In the blink of an eye, another half year had pa.s.sed, and although the Suppressing Dragon Elephant Soul Tempering technique had still been at the mastery level, proficiency in Mountain Sea Realm techniques had not improved significantly. However, Chen Fei had felt himself improving every moment.
The physique was no longer growing, but the recovery power bestowed by the Suppressing Dragon Elephant was still constantly improving.
Moreover, Chen Fei had felt a hint of breakthrough in the strength of his physique. He only awaited the right opportunity, and perhaps Chen Fei could advance his physique into the Mountain Sea Realm.
The Thousand Feathers Alliance, in the Thousand Feathers City.
Min Yanlu stood in mid-air, gazing straight ahead.
In the past half year, the sea monsters had almost ceased their attacks, but Min Yanlu did not feel relieved. Instead, he felt heavy anxiety because he knew the appet.i.tes of those Monster Kings.
Currently, those sea areas simply could not satisfy them.
In fact, Min Yanlu had sought a.s.sistance from the center of the Boundless Sea. When he had traveled the Boundless Sea years ago, he had made some friends.
However, most of them had not broken through to the Mountain Sea Realm and had died of old age over the years.
Only one close friend had broken through to the Mountain Sea Realm with Min Yanlu. The person Min Yanlu sought a.s.sistance from was that friend.
But after seeking a.s.sistance, all Min Yanlu received was bad news. That close friend had died in battle with the sea monsters.
The Master of the Sea, solitary and aloof, had no friends in the Boundless Sea.
Xu Xizhang grew up in the Thousand Feathers Alliance, having only visited the center of the Boundless Sea a few times and having no friends to speak of.
At this moment, the situation in the center of the Boundless Sea was extremely complicated. Not every place was in battle, but when battles did occur, they sometimes determined life and death directly.
The Monster Kings that had surged into the Thousand Feathers Alliance at this moment seemed to realize the unfavorable situation and wanted to take refuge here temporarily. They would decide whether to return to the center of the Boundless Sea once the situation stabilized.
Min Yanlu’s expression was grave. Just as he was about to turn around, his face suddenly changed, and his gaze pierced straight ahead.
In the calm world of vitality, several figures were swiftly approaching. It seemed they knew that they could no longer conceal their presence at this distance. The next moment, the world of vitality roared like a mountain collapse and earth rupture.
The figures of five Monster Kings appeared in the distance, their sights set directly on Thousand Feathers City.
Everyone in Thousand Feathers City felt their hearts skip a beat, as if doomsday had arrived. Looking into the distance, dark clouds loomed over the city!
Several days later, news spread throughout the entire Thousand Feathers Alliance: Thousand Feathers City had fallen.
And even earlier, the sea monsters, which had been quiet for several months, surged like a locust plague, rushing into all the sea areas of the Thousand Feathers Alliance.
Compared to before, the number of sea monsters had increased significantly, causing the entire Thousand Feathers Alliance to lament..
