Chapter 662  : Shen Yuanjun

Outside the gates of the Fallen Heaven Pavilion, those who were separated by space and were in the Combined Aperture Tempering realm watched as Chen Fei successively slew two peak Combined Aperture Tempering realm experts, ultimately disappearing while chasing after Tan Bingxiu.

Each of them looked on with admiration, wishing they could fight alongside Chen Fei.

The display of strength by Chen Fei not only subverted Tan Bingxiu and the others’ expectations but also overturned the understanding of these Combined Aperture Tempering realm practitioners.

It turned out that even peak Combined Aperture Tempering realm experts could be distinguished in such a manner.

In their eyes, the power displayed by Chen Fei was simply not what one would expect from a peak Combined Aperture Tempering realm expert. However, it was far from reaching the level of a Mountain Sea Realm expert.

Especially for those in the late stages of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, their feelings were the most obvious because their realm had already reached the threshold of the peak Combined Aperture Tempering realm.

But the more they understood, the more shocked they felt.

Within the gates of the Fallen Heaven Pavilion, there must be great secrets, but unfortunately, they could no longer see them.

Now they could only hope for this unfamiliar peak Combined Aperture Tempering realm expert to completely kill Tan Bingxiu and end this mysterious realm.

Inside the altar.

Chen Fei saw Tan Bingxiu forming seals, then with a step of his right foot, he appeared in front of Tan Bingxiu and swept down with a foot.

At this moment, the number of forbidden techniques within Chen Fei’s body had been reduced to five, and there was no need to use all seven to kill Tan Bingxiu alone.

Tan Bingxiu watched as Chen Fei appeared, a hint of triumph flashing in his eyes. The next moment, Tan Bingxiu suddenly disappeared, reappearing directly beside Shen Yuanjun at the altar.

Here, Tan Bingxiu possessed a power almost akin to teleportation. He intended to lure Chen Fei away, allowing himself to smoothly take control of Shen Yuanjun’s body.

With his hands continuously forming seals, Tan Bingxiu then placed his palm on the altar. The power of the altar instantly erupted, creating a shield that enveloped the entire altar.

The power of the altar was connected to the entire mysterious realm. Tan Bingxiu didn’t need to block Chen Fei for long, just a moment. Once he took control of Shen Yuanjun’s body and completely assimilated the power, it would be time for him to engage in a deadly battle with Chen Fei.

As Tan Bingxiu was about to step forward, his body suddenly stiffened, unable to move. A dark figure appeared on the ground, where Chen Fei’s presence, which should have been outside the altar, now distinctly manifested behind him.

“Impossible!”

Tan Bingxiu couldn’t comprehend it, turning his head stiffly to look at Chen Fei. Suddenly, Tan Bingxiu recalled the scene where Chen Fei had disappeared outside earlier.

At that moment, Tan Bingxiu couldn’t understand it. Now, with Chen Fei appearing before him again in such a manner, Tan Bingxiu finally began to grasp the situation.

Teleportation!

Chen Fei had mastered a power similar to teleportation, unlike Tan Bingxiu, who could only use the special formation within the vicinity of the altar to accomplish such a feat.

Chen Fei should be able to use this power anywhere, completely controlling the ability to teleport.

But how could a martial artist possess such power? Tan Bingxiu had read about some beasts in certain scriptures that had such special talents, but for a martial artist, it was impossible to possess such a gift, at least not before reaching the Mountain Sea Realm.

If such a thing were possible, Min Yanlu’s disciples would likely have already mastered it.

Why could this person grasp so many unbelievable things? It was unreasonable and unfair! At such a young age, having reached the peak of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm in cultivation and now possessing the talent for teleportation, how could other martial artists compete? Why would such a person even exist!

Tan Bingxiu’s mind was in complete turmoil. Clearly, they had schemed for so many years at the Fallen Heaven Pavilion, deceived the Mountain Sea Realm experts, deceived everyone, yet now they were on the verge of being destroyed by a martial artist who had only practiced for a few decades.

Tan Bingxiu was unwilling. A character like this should not exist in this world!

Chen Fei looked at Tan Bingxiu, observing the unwillingness in his eyes.

But in the world where might makes right, when have those peak Combined Aperture Tempering realm practitioners trapped by the Fallen Heaven Pavilion ever been willing? Since falling into this mysterious realm, they have faced nothing but the encirclement and suppression by the three peak Combined Aperture Tempering realm experts of the Fallen Heaven Pavilion.

Then there are those ordinary people who did nothing wrong but were moved to the Bewilderment City by the Fallen Heaven Pavilion.

These ordinary people lived their whole lives diligently, only seeking sustenance. Their only mistake might have been lacking talent in cultivation, yet they were manipulated and had their lives decided by the Fallen Heaven Pavilion as they pleased.

Were those people willing?

With a light whistle, Chen Fei swept his staff toward Tan Bingxiu.

“If I die, you won’t have it easy either!”

Seeing the attack launched by Chen Fei, Tan Bingxiu roared in anger. The entire altar trembled violently, and the primordial energy of heaven and earth surged wildly. The stable altar began to crack apart.

A dazzling light emanated from the center of Chen Fei’s forehead, and a world composed of countless lines and nodes unfolded before his eyes.

The staff in Chen Fei’s hand drew an arc, and along its path, several thin lines and nodes were forcefully shattered.

The tumultuous altar suddenly paused, and the connection between Tan Bingxiu and the altar was momentarily severed by Chen Fei.

Tan Bingxiu’s eyes widened involuntarily. Why did this Chen Fei know everything? What kind of monster were they facing in the Fallen Heaven Pavilion?

What sets this monster apart from a Mountain Sea Realm expert, aside from being inferior in strength?

The staff struck Tan Bingxiu’s sword blade, and in the final moment, Tan Bingxiu instinctively blocked it with the blade in front of him.

However, Tan Bingxiu’s strength couldn’t withstand Chen Fei’s, especially now that Tan Bingxiu was heavily injured and had just suffered from the backlash of the altar’s power.

Boom!

With a loud explosion, a cloud of blood mist appeared in the altar, and Tan Bingxiu’s sword blade fell to the ground, emitting a light clang of metal.

As the Slaughter Spirit Technique operated, all of Tan Bingxiu’s spiritual essence was drawn out and then smashed onto the Concealment Bell.

Not long after breaking through to a high-grade spiritual treasure, the Concealment Bell once again entered a period of silent transformation.

Chen Fei had provided too much spiritual essence, coupled with the Thousand-Eyed Ghoul, involving a total of four peak Combined Aperture Tempering realm experts. This caused the Concealment Bell to progress from a medium-grade spiritual treasure to its current state of silent transformation, moving towards becoming a top-grade spiritual treasure.

Before entering its silence, the Concealment Bell no longer harbored any thoughts. All thoughts had been shattered by this massive influx of spiritual essence.

Chen Fei stored Tan Bingxiu’s Qiankun Bag and sword blade away, then turned to look at Shen Yuanjun’s body.

At the threshold of the Mountain Sea Realm, with such a close distance, the power on Shen Yuanjun’s body was clearly displayed before Chen Fei.

Just a bit more spiritual essence, or even without it, with just a few months of precipitation, the power of this body could pierce through the barrier of the Mountain Sea Realm and smoothly step into a completely new realm.

A black jade stone appeared in Chen Fei’s hand. Without needing Chen Fei to probe into it with his mind, the surface of the jade stone continuously flashed some words.

In just a moment, a complete set of techniques appeared in Chen Fei’s mind. “Minghe Record?” Chen Fei’s expression changed slightly. Even though he had not cultivated this technique, from the words and context, it was clear that this technique was simply defying the heavens.

It was truly a path that diverged from the ordinary, leading to a mysterious road within the Mountain Sea Realm.

As long as one’s heart was ruthless enough and luck was also on their side, becoming a Mountain Sea Realm expert would no longer rely on a small probability. It turned the uncontrollable into something controllable!

Looking at Minghe Record and then at the body of Shen Yuanjun before him, all the clandestine actions of the Fallen Heaven Pavilion over the years now had a reasonable explanation.

“To take control of this body, there’s actually hope of becoming a Mountain Sea Realm expert!”

Chen Fei looked at Shen Yuanjun’s body and couldn’t help but admit that for any martial artist below the Mountain Sea Realm, this was an earth-shattering temptation.

In the Mountain Sea Realm, one could live for seven hundred years. With the addition of some longevity elixirs, reaching eight hundred years was not impossible.

Compared to the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, the increase in lifespan was more than just doubling.

Not to mention the increase in strength, just the extension of lifespan was an irresistible proposition.

On the martial path, one sought strength, which could control their own destiny and not be swayed by the current. But even more sought longevity and eternal vision because only then did strength become meaningful.

A thought kept swirling in Chen Fei’s mind, growing more and more intense, almost turning into a roaring sound. It urged Chen Fei to take a step forward, to take control of this power by occupying the body before him.

To make the schemes of the Fallen Heaven Pavilion over the past hundred years become his own garment.

By taking control of the body before him, with Chen Fei’s foundation and the body’s power combined, Tan Bingxiu would still need to wait for the body to become a Mountain Sea Realm expert. Chen Fei had the complete possibility of directly breaking through to the Mountain Sea Realm!

And if he were a bit more ruthless, by refining all the people in this mysterious realm, including those in the Combined Aperture Tempering realm and even the Evils, the possibility of achieving the Mountain Sea Realm would increase even more!

“To achieve greatness, countless sacrifices are made, so what are a few lives in comparison!”

To do this directly, there’s no need for hesitation or delay!

Countless thoughts, in the end, almost turned into piercing screams, violently trembling in Chen Fei’s mind. But Chen Fei’s steps remained unmoved, not even a hint of change in expression.

Chen Fei simply looked at Shen Yuanjun’s body as if those thoughts just now didn’t belong to him.

“You’re Shen Yuanjun, aren’t you? I’ve read descriptions of you in some scriptures,” Chen Fei muttered to himself.

As Chen Fei spoke, all sorts of distractions vanished from his mind.

“The Fallen Heaven Pavilion thinks they control everything, even deceiving the heavens and hiding their intentions from several Mountain Sea Realm experts. Their plans are meticulous indeed. But they made a mistake from the very beginning. They chose you as the vessel.”

Chen Fei continued to speak to himself, a hint of a smile even appearing on his face. The dim light on the staff, which had previously faded, once again glowed brightly, and a sharp aura enveloped Chen Fei’s entire being.

“People have always talked about Shen Yuanjun, praising his unparalleled talent but lamenting his early demise. Yet who truly knows that for someone with exceptional talent, early death is also a difficult thing to achieve.”

The energy within Chen Fei began to surge, his eyes fixed on Shen Yuanjun’s body. “Isn’t that right, Shen Yuanjun?”

“Swish!”

The previously dim altar, like a bolt of lightning, suddenly lit up. Shen Yuanjun, who had kept his eyes closed all this time, suddenly opened his eyes and gazed directly at Chen Fei.

The body, which should have been as lifeless as a stone, showed a surge of spiritual awareness as Shen Yuanjun opened his eyes, causing ripples of mental turbulence akin to shockwaves in a tempestuous sea.

This spiritual turbulence was so powerful that it caused the primordial energy within the entire mysterious realm to boil, and even the void itself seemed to ripple as if on the verge of shattering.

Just the fluctuation of his spiritual awareness stirred up such turmoil in the mysterious realm, leaving everyone astonished..
