Chapter 2073 Overcoming Skill with Force
Overpower skill with brute force!
With power that absolutely exceeds the upper limit of the replica attack's tolerance, it instantly shatters all attacks, including hidden anchor points.
However, this requires strength far exceeding that of Fan Yueze, essentially reaching the mid-stage of the Tai Cang Realm.
Alternatively, one could take drastic measures, finding and destroying those hidden anchor points in the void, thus disrupting the replication mechanism.
Or it might be interfering with the rules, disrupting the rules of its replication mapping...
Chen Fei's gaze flickered, indicating that he had made a decision.
He suddenly flipped the Qian Yuan Halberd in his hand, and the halberd shadow bloomed like a lotus flower. With a series of explosions, he cleanly and decisively shattered and dispersed the oncoming shadow, lightning pillar, and wave of fire, clearing a small, brief blank space in front of him.
Just as the next wave of replicated attacks had not yet fully materialized, Chen Fei, whose body had remained as steady as a mountain, made a large movement for the first time.
He twisted his waist, and all his strength rose from his heels, ascended along his spine like a dragon, passed over his shoulders and arms, and finally poured into his right arm, merging into the Qian Yuan Halberd.
The silver array patterns on the halberd suddenly lit up, reflecting off the dark purple halberd body. The magnetic force of the void was activated, forming a subtle force field that distorted space at the halberd blade.
"Buzz!"
Chen Fei flexed his arm muscles and swung the Qian Yuan Halberd upwards, aiming it at a seemingly empty space diagonally above and in front of him.
This halberd strike was not aimed at any incoming attack, nor at Fan Yueze in the distance.
The halberd's light detached from its blade, transforming into a thin, dark purple line only a few feet long, yet seemingly capable of slicing through light and darkness, silently disappearing into the void.
Why can the attack of the Heavenly Ruler be easily replicated, and can it be repeated immediately after being broken?
Because the power and rules of the replica are hidden deep within the void, beyond the reach of ordinary perception.
Like a sophisticated puppet mechanism hidden behind the scenes, what is destroyed on the front stage is only the puppet itself; the mechanism can instantly create a new, identical puppet and send it to the front stage.
Chen Fei's halberd strike did not cut down the puppet on the front stage, but directly targeted the crucial transmission shaft behind the scenes.
"Boom!"
The dark purple halberd light that Chen Fei unleashed did not immediately trigger a deafening explosion after it disappeared into the void.
Like the most exquisite scalpel, it precisely pierced beneath the seemingly calm surface of the void, touching and severing the complex and fragile energy structure and rules within.
The next instant, a sudden change occurred.
Centered on the point where the halberd light disappeared, the void within a radius of tens of miles suddenly trembled and twisted violently.
It was as if a giant rock had been thrown into a calm lake, or as if countless cracks had appeared inside a delicate piece of glass. Visible ripples, a mixture of silver and black, swept wildly in all directions.
"Crack!"
A series of strange sounds, like shattering glass or bursting soap bubbles, echoed throughout the trembling void.
The next wave of replicated attacks that was rapidly forming above Chen Fei's head suddenly stopped halfway through its formation, like a puppet whose strings had been cut. After flashing violently a few times, it collapsed and dissipated without a sound.
It transformed into the most primordial energy, quickly annihilating in the chaotic spatial fluctuations.
Not only that, even the attacks that had already taken shape and were heading towards Chen Fei suddenly weakened in power and became unstable, and were easily dispersed by Chen Fei with a casual swing of his halberd.
The overwhelming, suffocating pressure of the attacks that had been there just moments before vanished instantly after that single strike. Although the turbulent energy currents continued to surge, the relentless, endless wave of replication came to an abrupt halt.
A brief and eerie silence fell over the bloodbath arena. Only the lingering echoes of spatial turbulence continued to emanate a low hum.
At the other end of the arena, Fan Yueze's cold, all-encompassing smile froze instantly. His eyes widened involuntarily, reflecting the chaotic void and the dissipating attack light in his pupils, filled with unbelievable astonishment.
He had no idea that the other party could find and hit the replica anchor point of the Heavenly Ruler hidden deep in the void so easily.
To achieve this, it means that the other party's understanding of the void and their knowledge of the rules of energy replication and mapping must be at least on par with, if not completely surpassing, the Tongtian Ruler, a treasure of the Tai Cang Xuan.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to lock onto that barely perceptible anchor point fluctuation amidst intense battles and layers of energy interference.
"or……"
A thought flashed through Fan Yueze's mind: "Does he also possess a Tai Cang Xuanbao that excels in the Dao of Void? Was it through the connection between the Xuanbao that he was able to do it?"
He subconsciously focused his attention on sensing the Qian Yuan Halberd in Chen Fei's hand and the aura surrounding him.
The halberd was of good quality, containing the power of void magnetic energy, but judging from the complexity and profundity of its energy fluctuations and the interweaving of its rules, it was completely a low-grade Tai Cang divine weapon forged using Tai Cang Realm techniques.
Although the refining technique seems to have its own unique aspects, it is far from reaching the level of the Tai Cang Xuan Bao.
Fan Yueze scanned the area several times with focused attention, but found no obscure fluctuations similar to those of the Tai Cang Xuan Bao.
Without any magical treasures, then he achieved this purely through his own vision and understanding.
Not only Fan Yueze lost his composure, but almost everyone in the surrounding spectator area also showed shock, followed by an uncontrollable uproar and discussion.
"Broken? Then the replicated attack was broken?"
How did he do that?
"Did he strike a void node? Did he see through the void arrangement of the Heavenly Ruler?"
To what extent do you understand the Dao of Void?
In the martial arts arena of the myriad realms, it is not uncommon for geniuses possessing the Tai Cang Xuan Treasure to duel, after all, there are many powerful forces on the Primordial Continent.
The previous winning and losing patterns are more or less familiar to everyone.
Alternatively, the side possessing the Tai Cang Xuanbao (a powerful magical artifact) could use its immense power, far surpassing that of other divine weapons of the same rank, to create an overwhelming advantage and quickly end the battle.
Either both sides possess the Tai Cang Xuanbao, which would be a clash between Xuanbao, a contest of mysteries against mysteries, a competition of the Xuanbao's grade, characteristics, and the compatibility between the user and the Xuanbao.
However, someone like Chen Fei, who, despite not possessing the Tai Cang Profound Treasure, was able to precisely locate and crack the core characteristics of the opponent's Tai Cang Profound Treasure using his own methods, thus negating a large portion of the asymmetrical advantage brought by the treasure...
"On the life-and-death arena, it's not to say it's absolutely impossible, but it's extremely rare," a Tai Cang Realm cultivator murmured, his eyes filled with emotion.
Almost without exception, every person who can do something like this has already been equipped with the corresponding Tai Cang Xuan Treasure by their sect or power.
Those who can do this already possess the Tai Cang Xuan Treasure, so they don't need to do it this way at all.
This is standard practice for the elites of powerful forces. You have a mystical treasure, and so do I. We compete fairly. Who would be foolish enough to use their physical body and ordinary divine weapons to resist the power of the mystical treasure's rules?
“Few people can break through the power of the Tai Cang Xuan Bao by relying solely on their own understanding and mastery of the Dao, without relying on external aids,” another knowledgeable cultivator interjected, his tone complex.
Because that's extremely difficult; it requires a terrifying level of comprehension that truly surpasses that of others of the same level. This is a better indicator of a person's talent and potential than possessing a magical treasure.
In an instant, those who had bet on Fan Yueze in the spectator area lost their relaxed smiles and their expressions turned serious. This duel seemed far from over; in fact, it had only just begun to reveal its true nature.
The brief silence on the bloody battle arena was broken.
Chen Fei stood holding his halberd. He looked up at Fan Yueze, whose expression was uncertain, and a smile appeared on his face.
"It is impolite not to reciprocate!"
Chen Fei's clear voice rang out, not loud, but clearly carried throughout the entire venue.
Before he finished speaking, Chen Fei flicked his arm, and the Qian Yuan Halberd transformed into a dark purple lightning bolt, slashing out at Fan Yueze, who was thousands of miles away.
A razor-sharp halberd light tore through the still slightly chaotic space, instantly traversing thousands of miles to reach Fan Yueze.
Within the halberd's light lies the immense power of the Dao Ruins Returning to Truth Body and the sharp, magnetic energy of the Qian Yuan Halberd itself, making its power not to be underestimated.
Fan Yueze snorted coldly, and the black and red light of the Heavenly Ruler in his hand flashed. He slammed the ruler horizontally, accurately striking the halberd light.
"Oh!"
With a muffled thud, the dark purple halberd light dissipated, easily shattered by the Heavenly Ruler. Fan Yueze remained as steady as a rock, not even leaving a white mark on the ruler.
However, in the very next instant after the halberd light was shattered.
Several miles away from Fan Yueze, a barely perceptible ripple appeared in the void without warning.
Immediately afterwards, a dark purple halberd light, identical in aura and even in the power fluctuations it contained to the one that Fan Yueze had just dispersed, appeared out of thin air and slashed fiercely at Fan Yueze once again.
The attack has been replicated!
Fan Yueze's gaze fluctuated violently. This method of replicating the attack was so similar to his Heavenly Ruler.
However, there is a difference. The replica attack of the Heavenly Ruler is launched from a fixed void anchor point, and its trajectory can be followed, while this halberd light seems to have grown out of the void around him.
Fan Yueze was, after all, a seasoned prodigy, and his reaction was incredibly fast.
Just before the halberd light reached his body, he forcibly twisted his body, and at the same time, the Heavenly Ruler swept back, scattering the strange replica of the halberd light once again. But in his haste, his figure inevitably swayed slightly, losing his previous composure.
Fan Yueze's expression had become extremely gloomy, almost as if it could drip water.
His arm holding the Heavenly Ruler was as steady as a rock, but in his eyes staring at Chen Fei, there was more than just killing intent; there was also a hint of disbelief, shame, and anger, and a cold flame of utter offense.
He never expected that this mysterious figure would not only be able to accurately locate and destroy the replica anchor point hidden in the void by the Heavenly Ruler, but also be able to launch a counterattack using similar methods in such a short time.
Although Chen Fei's replica of the void image was far from comparable to the true replica of the Heavenly Ruler, it was more like a one-time trick.
But it is precisely this little trick, in this situation, that constitutes the greatest irony and rebuttal to Fan Yueze.
