Cultivation starts from simplifying the exercises

Chapter 2235 The Leader!

The once-dimmed Heavenly Sword, under Yuwen Xuan's relentless urging, unexpectedly erupted once more with a dazzling purple-gold light.

That light was more intense than ever before, as if Yuwen Xuan had burned away his life force to create the power of this final sword strike.

Despite having less than 60% of his combat strength remaining, at this moment, Yuwen Xuan's soul seemed to break through some kind of limit, allowing his combat strength to rise to a whole new level once again.

The Imperial Heaven Burns!

Yuwen Xuan roared, wielding the Heavenly Sword, transforming into a purple-gold meteor, charging towards Chen Fei with a resolute intent to burn everything.

At the same time, Ling Qingxue and her four companions charged forward again. They knew there was no turning back now. Retreat meant utter defeat.

An earth-shattering attack surged toward Chen Fei once again from different directions.

However, facing Yuwen Xuan's sword strike that burned with his life force, and facing the renewed siege launched by Ling Qingxue and the other five, Chen Fei's eyes remained calm as still water.

He simply watched the purple-gold figure rushing towards him, and the Heavenly Sword burning with Yuwen Xuan's life force.

"A very powerful sword strike," Chen Fei thought to himself, giving an objective assessment.

He slowly raised the Chaos Halberd in his hand, and in the next instant, he cleaved it down.

"clang!"

A metallic clang rang out, and the moment Yuwen Xuan's Heavenly Sword came into contact with Chen Fei's Chaos Halberd, it could not advance an inch further.

Immediately afterwards, an irresistible force flowed through the Heavenly Sword and into Yuwen Xuan's body.

Yuwen Xuan felt a blur before his eyes, and the whole world seemed to be rushing backward.

He saw Chen Fei's calm face, the astonished expressions of Ling Qingxue and the others, and the crimson sky of the Fiery Sun World...

Yuwen Xuan knew that it was the power of the rules of the Yan Yang World that was teleporting him out.

He finally lost.

Even after Chen Fei's halberd struck down Yuwen Xuan, the terrifying power contained within it did not completely dissipate.

The aftershocks of the halberd's force spread outwards in all directions, centered on Chen Fei.

The attacks launched by Ling Qingxue and her group of five were immediately blocked upon contact with this aftershock. Although they were advancing, it would take time for them to reach Chen Fei.

Chen Fei's figure left a faint afterimage in place, and his true form had already appeared in front of Tang Yin.

His choice of Tang Yin was not out of any particular targeting or scheming. It was simply because, after Yuwen Xuan was eliminated, Tang Yin happened to be in the position closest to him.

Tang Yin's face turned pale the moment Chen Fei appeared in front of him.

But he was, after all, the most outstanding successor of the Tianyan Sect in this generation. Although he was shocked, his reaction was not slow at all.

Just as Chen Fei's halberd was about to strike, Tang Yin almost instinctively brought his mastery of formations to its fullest extent.

The universe is ever-changing, yet we are worlds apart!

One after another, profound array patterns surged out of his body like a tide, intertwining and evolving in front of him.

In an instant, countless illusory array formations of overlapping peaks appeared in front of him.

These illusory array formations, layer upon layer, stretched the distance between him and Chen Fei, which was originally very close, to an infinite distance.

This is one of Tang Yin's most treasured life-saving techniques: "So close yet so far."

This formation is centered on the origin of space. Through the distortion and folding of the formation, it creates a power that is close at hand but actually far away. It can greatly delay the enemy's attack and buy precious reaction time for oneself.

However, Chen Fei's movements remained unchanged. He still gripped the Chaos Halberd and slashed down at the array phantom containing infinite space.

Chen Fei understood the concept of "so close yet so far," but he also knew he didn't need to change.

"Crack!"

With a crisp sound like a shattering glass mirror, the "Close to the Ends of the Earth" formation, which stretched space infinitely, was torn apart the moment it came into contact with Chen Fei's Chaos Halberd.

Immediately afterwards, the countless illusory array formations crumbled and disintegrated from the torn parts, transforming into countless firefly-like specks of light that vanished into the air.

"puff!"

The formation was forcibly broken, and Tang Yin was struck as if by a heavy blow, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

He was thrown backward uncontrollably, his face turning deathly pale and his breath becoming extremely weak.

Just as he was being sent flying backward, Chen Fei's figure, with incredible speed, bypassed the attacks intercepted by Ling Qingxue and the others, and appeared directly above Tang Yin's path of flight.

Then, he raised the Chaos Halberd in his hand high once more and slashed it down fiercely at the figure flying backwards below.

Tang Yin's eyes widened involuntarily as he tried to dodge, but at this moment he was in a state where his old strength was exhausted and his new strength had not yet been generated, so he was unable to make an effective dodge.

He could only watch helplessly as the chaotic halberd rapidly magnified in his field of vision.

"Oh!"

A dull, loud bang.

Tang Yin's body was slammed hard into the ground by Chen Fei's halberd.

After creating a huge crater in the ground, it was enveloped in a soft light and vanished instantly.

Following Yuwen Xuan, Tang Yin was also eliminated.

From the moment Chen Fei killed Yuwen Xuan to the moment he appeared before Tang Yin, to the moment he broke his "Close to the Ends of the Earth" formation... the whole process was incredibly fast.

Before Ling Qingxue and the others could even arrive to help, they saw Tang Yin's figure transform into a streak of light and be teleported away.

All four of them wore expressions of undisguised bitterness.

The gap is too big.

This is no longer a battle on the same level. The combat power that Chen Fei is showing at this moment has reached a height that they can only look up to.

Their prized techniques, combat skills, and trump cards were utterly insignificant in front of Chen Fei.

But they did not choose to give up, much less surrender.

They have their own pride and dignity, and even in defeat, they want to lose spectacularly and without shame.

"kill!"

Ling Qingxue let out a clear shout, pushing the Hun Tian Silk to its limit, transforming it into a long river of ice crystals that seemed capable of freezing time and space, sweeping towards Chen Fei.

The four attacked simultaneously, unleashing their strongest strikes.

However, Chen Fei's expression remained unchanged despite the four's desperate and all-out attack.

He simply swung the Chaos Halberd in his hand once more, unleashing a single strike.

This single halberd strike seemed to contain the will and power of the entire Yanyang world.

With a single strike, all laws are shattered.

All four of them were struck as if by a heavy blow, spitting out a mouthful of blood and flying backward uncontrollably.

After defeating the four attackers, Chen Fei flashed back to Ling Qingxue and swung his halberd across her in horror.

Ling Qingxue only had time to hold the Hun Tian Silk in front of her to try to block it, but the terrifying force swept her and the silk away.

As she flew backwards, her figure was enveloped in a soft light and disappeared.

Following Yuwen Xuan and Tang Yin, Ling Qingxue was also eliminated.

Next up was Zheng Yan, another top ten prodigy. Before he could even put up any effective resistance, Chen Fei swept him out of the Blazing Sun World like autumn leaves being swept away by the wind.

In just a few breaths, four top talents were eliminated by Chen Fei.

At this moment, in the entire blazing sun world, besides Chen Fei, only Shang Chi and Jiang Linyuan remained.

Chen Fei stopped what she was doing.

He slowly raised his head and looked up at the crimson sky of the blazing world.

His gaze seemed to pierce through the layers of clouds, engaging in a silent exchange with the will that controlled this world.

As if understanding Chen Fei's meaning, the crimson sky suddenly began to fluctuate violently.

Immediately afterwards, under the astonished gazes of Shang Chi and Jiang Linyuan, the sky seemed to be torn open by an invisible hand, and a stream of light shot out from the crack.

That was a complete set of low-grade, seventeenth-rank spiritual materials.

This spiritual material, as if possessing a spirit, circled in the air once, and then flew towards Chen Fei, quietly hovering in front of him.

The will of the blazing world acknowledged Chen Fei's strength.

It knew that, given the combat power Chen Fei was currently displaying, there was no point in continuing to have Shang Chi and Jiang Linyuan fight him.

Rather than letting them waste their time and energy, it's better to directly acknowledge Chen Fei's victory and hand over the second complete set of spiritual materials to him.

Shang Chi and Jiang Linyuan looked at the brand-new spiritual material that flew to Chen Fei, and then at the green-robed figure standing in the void like a god in the distance. Their faces showed extremely complicated expressions.

There was resentment and disappointment, but more than anything, there was a complete and utter sense of defeat.

They lost.

We lost completely, without any excuses.

The six top-tier half-step Heavenly Monarchs joined forces to besiege Chen Fei alone, but not only did they fail to defeat him, they were also eliminated one by one by him as easily as cutting melons and vegetables.

This is no longer a difference in strength, it's a difference in level.

Although Chen Fei's combat power largely relies on the power of the Great Dao Origin of the Yan Yang World, this in itself is a manifestation of strength.

Because none of the six of them could, like Chen Fei, manipulate the primordial power of the Blazing Sun World, nor could they, like him, so skillfully control and refine that immense and terrifying power, turning it into their own.

The difference lies not only in the techniques and talents, but also in the understanding of the rules of heaven and earth and the control of one's own power.

They deserved their defeat.

Shang Chi and Jiang Linyuan exchanged a glance, both seeing the same decision in each other's eyes.

They did not choose to admit defeat.

Although they knew they could no longer defeat Chen Fei, and that continuing to fight would only result in Chen Fei ruthlessly eliminating them, they still did not choose to admit defeat.

They can accept defeat, but they cannot accept defeat without a fight.

If things have come to this point, it would be too embarrassing if we didn't even have the courage to fight.

"kill!"

Shang Chi roared, and a golden spear appeared in his hand. With an indomitable momentum, he thrust it toward Chen Fei.

Jiang Linyuan didn't speak, but his actions had already shown his attitude.

The longsword in his hand, entirely emerald green, gleamed like water, carrying an endless and ever-flowing aura as it enveloped Chen Fei.

This was their final charge, their last act of defiance.

Chen Fei looked at the two figures rushing towards him, his eyes showing neither contempt nor pity. There was only respect for his opponents.

He slowly raised the Chaos Halberd in his hand, and then slashed at Shang Chi and Jiang Linyuan.

There was no earth-shattering collision, no deafening roar.

Only three figures passed each other.

And two streaks of light, enveloped in soft glow, slowly disappeared into the blazing world.

Too late, out!

Jiang Linyuan is out!

At this point, in the entire world of Yanyang, apart from Chen Fei, there was no other prodigy among them.

He stood alone beneath the crimson sky, holding a halberd, his blue robe fluttering in the wind, like an invincible war god who had stepped out of ancient mythology.

The grand competition of ten thousand sects has come to a close.

Leader, Dan Chen Sect, Chen Fei!

With his peak Tai Cang Realm cultivation, he defied numerous half-step Heavenly Monarchs, swept across the Yan Yang World, and ultimately won the championship of this Grand Tournament of Ten Thousand Sects.

This is a legend that has never been seen before, and probably will never be seen again.

Above the capital city, the enormous sky captured the image of Chen Fei sweeping down Shang Chi and Jiang Linyuan with his halberd, leaving him standing alone beneath the blazing sun of the world, a moment frozen in time.

After a brief period of deathly silence, the entire capital city erupted in a deafening roar.

The sound was like thunder from the heavens, forming a terrifying sonic wave powerful enough to overturn the entire sky.

"He won! Chen Fei won! He really won!"

"The champion! The champion of the Grand Tournament of Ten Thousand Sects! A peak Tai Cang Realm expert!"

"My God, did he really sweep away all the half-step Heavenly Monarchs single-handedly?"

"A legend, this is a true legend!"

Countless cultivators were so excited that their faces turned red.

Those who had previously been skeptical of Chen Fei, and even mocked him, now shut their mouths, their faces filled with nothing but shock and awe.

Chen Fei won over everyone with a resounding and undeniable victory.

People were talking wildly about the earth-shattering battle they had just witnessed, about Chen Fei's unbelievable and terrifying combat power, about his exquisite array formation skills, and about his unfathomable spiritual power...

Amidst the cheers and discussions of the millions of cultivators in the Divine Capital, a soft yet vast ray of light descended from the sky above the Blazing Sun World, enveloping Chen Fei's figure.

Chen Fei felt a blur before his eyes, and the scenery around him began to change rapidly.

The crimson sky, the scorched earth, the scorching air currents... everything was rapidly receding into the distance.

Instead, there was the magnificent and bustling scene of the capital city, and deafening cheers that surged in like a tidal wave.

His figure appeared in the sky above the capital city.

Immediately afterwards, a grand and majestic voice resounded throughout the entire capital city, clearly reaching the ears of everyone:

"The Grand Competition of Ten Thousand Sects has now come to an end."

"The ultimate victor, Chen Fei of the Dan Chen Sect!" (End of Chapter)
