Just now, they heard the sound of an explosion, rushed out in a hurry, and were once again stimulated by the breath of the sea monster, almost falling into illusion. For a moment, they didn’t care about anything else.
At this moment, they finally noticed that Chen Fei’s aura seemed to have reached the peak of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm!
Encountering a third-tier peak sea monster, they were mentally prepared for it, after all, during their escape, anything could happen. Even encountering a Monster King and being casually wiped out by the Monster King were all possibilities.
But Chen Fei’s realm reaching the peak of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, they really didn’t have any mental preparation at all.
The last time Chen Fei revealed his strength was a year ago. Wasn’t he just in the late Combined Aperture Tempering realm at that time? At that realm, they could barely accept it.
Yet now, after a year has pa.s.sed, he directly progressed from the late Combined Aperture Tempering realm to the peak of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm?
No matter what precious treasures he consumed, he shouldn’t have directly transformed from the late Combined Aperture Tempering realm to the peak of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm.
“You guys continue with the fleet, I’ll lead it away.” Chen Fei glanced at Tong Zhongqiu and the others, his figure flickered, flying towards another direction.
Tong Zhongqiu and the others sensed that this third-tier monster was stronger than the usual third-tier peak. They had indeed not sensed it wrong, because the monster in front of them was a descendant of a Monster King.
Flowing within him was the bloodline of a Monster King. Not to mention the innate talents nurtured within the bloodline, just the demonic power alone was much more profound than that of other third-tier peak monsters.
Ku Rong, the one-eyed, glanced at the fleet below and swiftly caught up with Chen Fei.
Compared to the few initial Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators below, the energy contained within Chen Fei’s peak Combined Aperture Tempering realm was undoubtedly much richer.
Devouring such a cultivator was undoubtedly tempting even for Ku Rong, a third-tier peak monster like him.
The power of the Three Flowers of cultivators had many benefits for them monsters, stimulating their spiritual senses.
According to the information Ku Rong had received, there weren’t many peak Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators in the Thousand Feathers Alliance. Encountering one today was considered good luck for it.
Currently, there were many sea monsters roaming the borders of the Thousand Feathers Alliance, specifically targeting fleets that had escaped.
After all, the Thousand Feathers Alliance had not been completely conquered yet. Venturing in alone inevitably led to some unexpected situations. The Thousand Feathers Alliance was not entirely weak and vulnerable.
During the a.s.sault on the Thousand Feathers Alliance, quite a few third-tier monsters had died, and some third-tier peak monsters had also perished.
But this occasional sweeping of fleeing fleets posed no danger at all.
As Chen Fei disappeared along with Ku Rong, Tong Zhongqiu and the others couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief. Then, without any delay, they fully mobilized the fleet and raced towards the distance.
Suddenly, a tremendous force acted upon the entire fleet, startling Tong Zhongqiu and the others. Was there another situation?
Turning their heads, they found it was Chen Fei’s clone.
In order to distinguish between the original and the clone, Chen Fei deliberately changed the clone’s clothes to a different style.
However, when they sensed Chen Fei’s clone and witnessed the aura realm it displayed due to fully mobilizing its elemental power, Tong Zhongqiu and the others momentarily felt as if they were truly trapped in an illusion.
It’s not that they lacked insight; it’s just that they didn’t know what words to use to express their current feelings.
Chen Fei’s original form being at the peak of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm was already incredible and difficult to comprehend. Now, the clone’s realm was also at the peak of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm. What on earth was going on?
Could a clone reach the same realm as the original?
If clones were so useful, then the entire Thousand Feathers Alliance would consist of cultivators practicing clones. Regardless of the difficulty of cultivation, there would always be people desperate to cultivate them.
However, the actual situation is that the vast majority of clones have much weaker strength compared to the original, at most serving a supportive role.
In fact, as the original’s strength increases, the clone becomes increasingly useless.
Tong Linyun looked at Chen Fei’s clone’s realm and was also extremely shocked.
Tong Linyun had always thought that he understood Chen Fei’s strength well enough, but now he realized that what he had seen seemed to be only a part of Chen Fei’s strength.
Or perhaps, what he saw today was the whole picture, and perhaps in a while, Chen Fei’s strength would undergo astonishing changes again.
From the late Combined Aperture Tempering realm to the peak in just a year, can you believe it?
Chen Fei dashed hundreds of miles and finally slowed down in mid-air.
If possible, Chen Fei wanted to lead Ku Rong to a farther place. However, Ku Rong could never catch up with Chen Fei and had become extremely impatient, seeming to turn back and slaughter the fleet first.
Chen Fei wanted to lead Ku Rong elsewhere not only because he didn’t want to endanger the fleet with battle fluctuations but also because killing a descendant of a Monster King like Ku Rong would easily lure out the Monster King.
The surrounding aura near the fleet was too chaotic. Once the Monster King sensed it, the entire fleet wouldn’t be able to escape.
Leading elsewhere, Chen Fei could eliminate all the auras and then detach the fleet.
“Not running anymore?” Ku Rong looked at Chen Fei, a sly gleam flashing in his lone eye.
Ku Rong deliberately showed the intention to return just now, forcing Chen Fei to stop. Sure enough, the other party had to stop due to concerns about those fleets.
For those people, to trap themselves in a dead end, Ku Rong liked such cultivators the most because they were the easiest to manipulate.
Chen Fei didn’t speak. With a glance at Ku Rong, he had already appeared in front of him in a flash.
Seeing Chen Fei’s gaze, Ku Rong felt no fear or even apprehension; there was only plainness, so plain that it felt like looking at an inanimate object!
This kind of gaze instantly ignited Ku Rong’s anger.
It was the hunter!
Ku Rong stirred the elemental energy of the four directions with its four ears, leaving Chen Fei with less than ten percent of the elemental energy he could manipulate.
This was one of Ku Rong’s talents, forcibly seizing control of the elemental energy of heaven and earth.
Whether it was a cultivator or a monster, having the a.s.sistance of elemental energy from heaven and earth made a huge difference in the manifestation of their power.
Ku Rong’s single eye stared at Chen Fei, a faint glimmer pa.s.sing through it. In the reflection of his pupils, Chen Fei’s figure froze instantly.
The second talent: locking down the opponent’s soul, causing them to lose control of their body.
This talent, when at the level of a Monster King, didn’t have a particularly strong effect because by then, whether it was a fourth-order Monster King or a mountain and sea realm cultivator, they had cultivated their souls.
Moreover, the cultivation of the soul in the mountain and sea realm was even more refined and not easily controlled.
However, below the mountain and sea realm, this talent was almost unstoppable because Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators had almost no training in soul cultivation.
Ku Rong’s talent was a form of dimensional reduction.
The nine tails behind Ku Rong shot out instantly, locking Chen Fei from all directions. The power on each tail was astonishing, and the combined force of the nine tails far exceeded that of an ordinary third-tier peak monster.
In the blink of an eye, Ku Rong went all out.
Although Ku Rong already regarded the peak Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivator as his prey, when it came to actual combat, Ku Rong would definitely give it his all.
Just as Ku Rong appeared before the fleet for the first time, he revealed his true form rather than weakening himself into a human form.
“Hum!”
A ripple emanated from Chen Fei, a forbidden technique, the Seventh Gate!
Ku Rong’s single-eyed soul froze, having no effect on Chen Fei. Under the control of the Suppressing Dragon Elephant, Chen Fei’s application of soul was far stronger than Ku Rong’s talent.
As their souls collided, Ku Rong’s soul began to tremble violently. Along with it, the elemental energy, which was initially seized by Ku Rong by ninety percent, suddenly loosened, and Chen Fei instantly reclaimed sixty percent.
Due to the trembling of his soul, Ku Rong’s attacks with his nine tails also weakened slightly, and the momentum of his encirclement stalled for a moment.
What should have been a perfect killing move against other peak Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators suddenly turned into a flawed technique against Chen Fei.
Chen Fei took a step forward, and where his foot landed, the s.p.a.ce rippled. The Qjanyuan Sword slashed directly at the nine tails.
“Boom!”
The nine tails, which should have been invincible, were forcibly severed. Seven of them were gone in one strike, with the remaining two also heavily wounded.
“Roar!”
In intense pain, Ku Rong let out a sharp howl as he retreated backward, accompanied by a tremendous force continuously crushing all around him.
Chen Fei’s hair flew backward as the recoil force from Ku Rong circulated within him. Then, all of it was forcibly restrained by the Suppressing Dragon Elephant, transforming into Chen Fei’s own power.
Using this force, Chen Fei advanced instead of retreating. With a step backward, he once again stood before Ku Rong and swung the Qjanyuan Sword.
Compared to the first strike, this one carried even greater momentum.
As long as he couldn’t strike Chen Fei, under the control of the Suppressing Dragon Elephant, Chen Fei would only grow stronger with each battle, until even the Suppressing Dragon Elephant couldn’t contain or suppress that power.
But now, Ku Rong was just a third-tier monster. Even as a descendant of a Monster King, his power couldn’t exceed the limit that the Suppressing Dragon Elephant could suppress.
Ku Rong stared wide-eyed at Chen Fei.
This was the peak of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm? What peak of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm could achieve such power!
In a remote place like the Thousand Feathers Alliance, how could there emerge a genius figure like this, which might only appear in some sacred places in the center of the endless sea?
Could it have been some old monster that had reincarnated through possession?
Ku Rong’s four ears trembled, and a mighty momentum like overturning rivers and seas appeared on him – the power of a Monster King!
Chen Fei’s expression slightly condensed. If there was one thing that posed the greatest threat to him among the descendants of Monster Kings, it was probably this sealed power of the Monster King. Facing this true power of the fourth order, it was prudent to be extremely cautious no matter what.
A dazzling light burst from Ku Rong’s single eye. In the next moment, Ku Rong’s figure flickered and disappeared directly in front of Chen Fei.
Chen Fei looked unexpectedly at Ku Rong’s disappearing figure. This was the first time Chen Fei had encountered someone using the power of a Monster King to escape. Was this move enough to frighten Chen Fei?
Ku Rong’s figure was like a shooting star. Using the power of a Monster King to escape, it was simply impossible for anyone below the fourth order to catch up.
Ku Rong’s single eye was filled with coldness. This human was too strong, and it couldn’t defeat him with its current strength.
But if it could devour this human, the benefits would be immense.
In the nearby waters, there were still some third-tier peak sea monsters, and there were even two other descendants of Monster Kings like Ku Rong.
As long as they were found, this human would undoubtedly die. There was no chance for escape!
Ku Rong’s gaze flickered, and suddenly a figure appeared in front of him. Ku Rong looked at this figure, his single eye widening.
It was that human.. How did he catch up?
