Chapter 2195 A Multitude of Powerful Individuals
Li Mo of the Heavenly Talisman Sect was clearly well-versed in the fighting style of talisman cultivators, striking first and controlling the rhythm.
"Shhhhh!"
As he moved his finger, talismans flashing with different runes suddenly appeared from the void.
These talismans were not shot out randomly, but as soon as they appeared, they flew away on their own along some mysterious trajectory, instantly filling the void within a radius of hundreds of miles centered on Li Mo.
Five Elements Heavenly Net of Talismans!
Li Mo let out a low shout and pressed his hands down sharply.
"boom!"
The tens of thousands of floating talismans simultaneously shone brightly, and the violent power of various attributes was instantly activated, intertwined, and fused together.
Various mutually reinforcing and restraining forces were forcibly integrated within this rune array, unleashing a terrifying power far exceeding the sum of individual runes. This entire area of the martial arts arena instantly transformed into a death trap.
The raging turbulent flow of the five elements' energy tore everything apart, while the dark green poisonous miasma was all-pervasive, eroding both the vital energy and the physical body.
Chen Fei slightly raised his eyelids. This Li Mo, as expected of someone from a sect specializing in talismanic arts, made such a move right away.
Tens of thousands of meticulously prepared high-level talismans instantly formed an array. This power surpassed the full-force attack of an ordinary peak Tai Cang Realm cultivator, and even faintly touched the edge of some kind of rule.
Those who can participate in the Grand Tournament of Ten Thousand Sects are all geniuses who have cultivated at least one top-grade sixteenth-level cultivation technique to its peak. This Li Mo clearly has profound attainments in both the Dao of Talismans and the Dao of Arrays, and by combining the two, his power is multiplied.
Faced with the deadly Five Elements Heavenly Net Formation, Chen Fei's eyes flashed with a sharp light. Instead of retreating, he took a step forward.
With that step, Chen Fei's aura suddenly changed.
An ancient and boundless aura, capable of encompassing all things yet also returning them to nothingness, rose from within him.
Beneath the skin, a faint, chaotic light flowed, and the bones emitted a subtle yet clear hum, within which countless tiny worlds were created and annihilated.
This is a sign that the Dao Xu Gui Zhen Body is operating at full power. The physical body and the soul are instantly pushed to a mysterious balance point, transforming into a human-shaped Dao Xu, which can contain all laws and also transform all laws into Xu.
At the same time, Chen Fei pressed his hands down in front of him, using the vast spacetime elemental power as a guide and his divine soul as a pen to instantly write an invisible array foundation in the void.
Countless silver-gray spacetime runes flashed by and disappeared into the void around him.
In an instant, the space within a radius of dozens of miles centered on him was stripped away, and the flow of time underwent extremely subtle yet real distortions and layers.
This is precisely the essence of the Eternal Spacetime Array Scripture: without external objects, spacetime can be formed simply by a thought. Although its range is not as vast as Li Mo's talisman array, the power of spacetime rules contained within it is far more profound and subtle.
Immediately afterwards, a warm and clear spiritual light suddenly shone from between Chen Fei's eyebrows. It was the True Suchness Spiritual Light cultivated by the Immortal True Suchness Spiritual Light Mirror.
The spiritual light rippled outwards like water, instantly merging into the unique force field around him formed by activating the Dao Void Returning to Truth Body and setting up the spacetime micro-array.
"Buzz!"
All the five elements energy and vital energy fluctuations that entered this domain, including the spiritual pressure and poisonous miasma emanating from Li Mo's talisman array, vanished the moment they came into contact with the domain, like a mud ox entering the sea, swiftly obliterated by the Daoist realm of returning to the true nature.
It transforms into the most basic primordial energy particles, nourishing the domain itself and even subtly strengthening Chen Fei's aura.
"What? The formation expands the Dao Domain?"
Li Mo, who was manipulating the rune array on the other side, preparing to launch the next wave of even more intense attacks, had his composure and sharpness instantly replaced by horror.
Like a giant, Chen Fei charged into the most violent area of the Five Elements Heavenly Net Talisman Array!
"Boom!"
Flames, frost, wind blades, earth spikes, lightning, golden light, poisonous miasma... countless violent elements of energy and corrosive power, like an angry tsunami, frantically crashed against the Dao Domain around Chen Fei!
However, all attacks, whether in the form of energy or matter, whether physical impact or spiritual erosion, were forcibly digested by that strange Dao Domain in an almost unreasonable way!
Wherever Chen Fei went, the rune arrays collapsed, the energy was annihilated, leaving behind a vacuum zone.
Li Mo's face turned deathly pale. He couldn't believe that formations and Dao domains could be combined in such a way, and that their power was so immense.
In shock, Li Mo's fighting instincts drove him to make the most immediate reaction: retreat! Retreat far away!
He moved with lightning speed, retreating backward without hesitation, while simultaneously waving his hands wildly, unleashing countless talismans! No longer forming arrays, but simply and brutally activating and detonating them!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Thousands upon thousands of powerful talismans transformed into a dazzling, destructive wave, crashing down upon Chen Fei, who was hot on his heels.
Li Mo attempted to use this sea of talismans to block Chen Fei's strange Dao Domain from advancing, even if it could only delay it for a moment.
However, faced with this torrent of talismans, Chen Fei did not change his forward trajectory in the slightest. His Dao Domain had become the most indestructible shield and the most terrifying dissolving field.
The talismans, each radiating dangerous energy, seemed to be paused the moment they entered Chen Fei's body, their internal structures forcibly interfered with and destroyed by some higher-level force.
The runes on the talisman paper quickly dimmed and dissipated, the condensed primordial energy structure collapsed, and the flames, thunder, and frost that should have erupted were silently digested by the void before they could fully display their power, without even causing a decent ripple.
Despite the swirling, dissipating talismans flying everywhere, Chen Fei easily passed through the talisman barrier hastily set up by Li Mo, and the distance between them was rapidly closing.
Li Mo's face was pale. His talismans, whether they were carefully arranged talisman arrays or hastily activated talisman seas, were like child's play in front of his opponent, completely useless.
Seeing that Li Mo had retreated to the edge of the training ground, Chen Fei, who had been charging forward, paused slightly, raised his right palm, and pressed it down into the void in front of him.
"Buzz!"
As he pressed down, the power of his Dao Domain was instantly drawn and condensed, and a phantom image of a colossal palm with a faint chaotic color and subtle spatial vortexes flowing in its palm appeared.
The giant hand, carrying a terrifying Daoist aura that suppressed the void, instantly traversed the remaining distance between the two and appeared above Li Mo's head, then pressed down with overwhelming force.
There was no earth-shattering explosion, no explosive surge of energy.
Where the giant hand landed, space was frozen and smoothed out.
The protective talismans that Li Mo subconsciously activated shattered silently, layer by layer, the moment they came into contact with the chaotic spiritual light at the edge of the giant palm.
The silver defensive runes embroidered on Li Mo's Taoist robe were breaking off inch by inch, losing their luster.
The protective mirror he wore on his chest cracked open with a snap. Even the protective energy that flowed spontaneously within his body quickly dissipated and fell silent under the giant hand's influence.
Li Mo felt an indescribable heavy pressure squeezing in from all directions, not only physical pressure, but also absolute suppression at the level of rules and the level of the soul.
He was isolated in a small world that was constantly returning to nothingness. His Yuan energy flowed sluggishly, his soul felt like it was trapped in a quagmire, and even his thinking became slow.
"I... admit defeat!"
Using all his strength, Li Mo squeezed out these three words through gritted teeth, his face ashen.
He knew that if the giant hand hadn't been intended to suppress rather than kill, he would probably have already been reduced to dust by that strange power of the Void. This was no longer a difference in strength, but a complete and utter crushing defeat.
His understanding and application of the Dao far surpassed his.
Upon hearing the word "surrender," Chen Fei's eyes flickered slightly, and the illusory image of the chaotic giant hand that was about to be completely pressed down instantly froze, then vanished into nothingness like a bubble.
"You flatter me." Chen Fei cupped his hands in greeting to Li Mo, whose face was pale.
"In the Jiazi area, at the No. 7 training ground, the victor is Chen Fei of the Danchen Sect." The grand and majestic pronouncement resounded throughout the training ground.
Although the duel between Chen Fei and Li Mo was short, the process was earth-shattering, especially in the first round of the Ten Thousand Sects Competition, when most battles were still in the probing and entanglement stage, making it particularly eye-catching.
When Chen Fei, with his Dao Domain, crushed the Five Elements Heavenly Net Talisman Array with overwhelming force, and suppressed Li Mo with a single palm strike, forcing this genius talisman cultivator from the Heavenly Talisman Sect to admit defeat, the cultivators watching the battle from the outside of the martial arts arena first fell into a deathly silence, and then erupted into a thunderous roar of exclamations and discussions.
There happened to be quite a few cultivators from other sects in this spectator area.
They were just watching casually and didn't have high expectations for Chen Fei, this unfamiliar disciple of Danchen Sect, after all, his opponent was Li Mo of Tianfu Sect, who was skilled in talisman arrays and extremely difficult to deal with.
However, Chen Fei's performance completely overturned their expectations.
"My God, what is that? A domain? A Dao Domain?"
“It is the Dao Domain,” a slightly older cultivator said in a deep voice.
"No matter how exquisite Li Mo's talisman array is, it is naturally restrained in the face of this magnified Dao domain and collapses at the first touch."
"Hahaha, we won! A beautiful victory! Senior Brother Chen Fei is awesome!" The disciples of Danchen Sect erupted in enthusiastic cheers, feeling proud of their victory.
Chen Fei's method of using body refinement as the core, integrating formations and undying spiritual light, forcibly amplifying and stabilizing the power of the Dao to form a domain, and crushing the opponent in one fell swoop, was once shown in a stunning display during a sparring match within the Dan Chen Sect.
But no one expected that on a stage as full of experts as the Grand Tournament of Ten Thousand Sects, facing a talisman array genius who was also at the peak of the Tai Cang Realm, he would still be so domineering and effective.
"Incredible, incredible! When did the Danchen Sect produce such a prodigy?" Elders and disciples from other sects watching the battle nearby also recovered from their initial shock and exclaimed in amazement.
"It's not just a Dao Domain; it's at least three top-grade level sixteen cultivation techniques. Moreover, he cultivated these three top-grade techniques to an extremely profound level and successfully fused them together. That's why he was able to support that brief but terrifying Dao Domain eruption."
Upon hearing this, the eyes of the people around widened slightly. Cultivating two level-sixteen top-grade techniques to a high level was enough to make one a standout among their peers.
Cultivating all three disciplines simultaneously and successfully fusing them? What terrifying foundation and control this requires? No wonder he could so easily crush Li Mo.
"It seems that this year's Grand Competition of Ten Thousand Sects will have another dark horse," someone remarked.
"A dark horse? Hmph, it's too early to draw conclusions. This kind of combat method must be extremely costly. Can he continue to use it? If it can only be used as a trump card, once someone figures out his strength and prepares for it or wears him down, the outcome is still uncertain." Some people analyzed calmly.
In any case, Chen Fei's name, and his incredible method of merging three sects, have begun to attract the attention of some interested parties through this battle.
The area where the Danchen Sect disciples were located was filled with high morale and cheers.
After leaving the training ground, Chen Fei took a short break to catch his breath and immediately used the senses from his identity token to locate the training ground where Cao Feiyu was.
Inside the arena, two graceful figures were crisscrossing, their sword energy chilling and illuminating half the sky.
Cao Feiyu's opponent was dressed in a light blue outfit, her movements as agile as a swimming fish, and she held a thin sword in her hand, the sword light flickering like the gentle autumn water.
Her sword energy was not simply fierce, but rather a blend of softness and strength, demonstrating her considerable skill in swordsmanship and her true peak cultivation level of the Tai Cang Realm.
"Azure Wave Sword Sect, Autumn Water Sword Technique." A spectator nearby whispered among himself, revealing the origin of the blue-clad female cultivator.
The Azure Wave Sword Sect is also a sect in the Immortal Dynasty known for its swordsmanship. Although it is not as prestigious as the top sword holy lands, the Autumn Water Sword Technique is a rather exquisite sixteenth-level top-grade sword technique.
At this moment, the sword light in Cao Feiyu's hand was as cold as moonlight, sometimes transforming into specks of cold stars, sometimes like a galaxy falling down, defending impenetrably, and attacking with the speed of a shooting star.
Her sword intent was pure and refined, carrying a sharp edge that cut through illusion.
However, the Autumn Water Sword Technique of the female cultivator from the Azure Wave Sword Sect was extremely difficult to deal with. Cao Feiyu's several sharp advances were all neutralized by the dense sword light that surged like a tide.
The opponent's sword intent was not as pure and sharp as Cao Feiyu's, but it was more versatile and resilient, and its combat experience was more mature. It could always anticipate the enemy's moves and use softness to overcome hardness.
"Ding ding ding ding!"
The sound of the two swords clashing was like pearls falling onto a jade plate, ringing out in rapid succession. Sword energy overflowed, drawing countless sword marks of varying depths on the golden training ground.
Cao Feiyu frowned slightly, realizing that if she continued to fight like this, she would consume more of her energy and would easily be dragged into the rhythm by her opponent's flexible swordsmanship.
A resolute glint flashed in Cao Feiyu's eyes. She took a deep breath and activated the Heavenly Sword Technique within her body at full power, causing the cool, clear moonlight energy around her to surge dramatically.
She suddenly drifted backward dozens of miles, temporarily creating distance.
He held the long sword upright in front of him, and with his left hand, he slowly stroked the blade with his fingers together.
As she moved, the dazzling starlight and moonlight on the sword rapidly converged and compressed, and an astonishingly sharp sword intent soared into the sky, causing her clothes to flutter in the wind, and the jade hairpin in her hair to tremble slightly, shimmering with a warm luster.
It fell from the sky!
Cao Feiyu let out a sharp cry, and with a seemingly slow but actually extremely fast slash, she drew her long sword towards the void in front of her.
"Clang!"
A clear, resonant sword cry echoed throughout the training ground, and a streak of sword light shot out from the tip of her sword.
Wherever the sword rainbow passed, it left a long, lingering silver trail in space. The terrifying sharpness contained within it could pierce through planes and cleave the sun and moon.
The female cultivator from the Azure Wave Sword Sect's expression changed slightly. Her Autumn Water Sword Technique was good at neutralizing scattered attacks, but it was relatively weak against such a highly condensed, thrusting killing move.
The vast expanse of blue waves!
She let out a sharp shout, pushing the defensive stance of the Autumn Water Sword Technique to its limit. The slender sword danced in front of her, creating countless blue sword circles, layer upon layer, like countless ripples spreading out, attempting to neutralize this earth-shattering sword strike by weakening it layer by layer.
"laugh!"
The silver sword rainbow and the blue sword circle collided violently, without a deafening roar, only the sound of sharp blades cutting into thick leather.
The silver sword rainbow surged forward with unstoppable force, tearing through and piercing the blue water-wave sword ring layer by layer.
The female cultivator from the Azure Wave Sword Sect turned deathly pale. She desperately channeled her Yuan Power to regenerate the sword circle, but its speed was far slower than the speed at which it was destroyed.
In the blink of an eye, dozens of sword circles were pierced. Although the silver sword rainbow dimmed slightly and its momentum slowed down, its incomparably condensed and sharp sword intent had already locked onto her.
I surrender!
With the sword's edge aimed at her, her life hanging by a thread, the female cultivator finally cried out in defeat. She knew she couldn't withstand the attack; forcibly resisting would mean certain death or serious injury.
"Shh!"
Just as the sword rainbow was about to touch her throat, Cao Feiyu flicked her wrist, causing the sword rainbow to deflect, grazing the female cultivator's shoulder and striking the barrier of the distant martial arts arena, creating a violent ripple before finally dissipating.
"Bingwu Region, Martial Arts Arena No. 22, Victorious: Cao Feiyu of Danchen Sect." (End of Chapter)
