Chapter 734: Aura of the Rainbow

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“Don’t kill me, everything can be discussed, everything can be discussed!” Blocked by the power of the Xuanyuan Sword, Wu Zisheng didn’t have the chance to save Miao Wanhua just now. He could only watch helplessly as Miao Wanhua was slain.

At this moment, Ao Bozhong was as good as dead, with no one to help him. Even if Wu Zisheng wasn’t injured at this moment, his whole body was at its peak strength.

But what could he do? Both Ao Bozhong and Miao Wanhua were at their peak, yet they were both slain with a single sword strike from the opponent.

“Let’s talk later!”

The Qjanyuan Sword reversed, and Chen Fei’s sword stabbed towards Wu Zisheng.

Upon hearing Chen Fei’s words, Wu Zisheng felt like he was in an ice cave.

Before coming here, he had only thought about how to prevent the opponent from escaping by using teleportation, buying formations, discussing tactics, and how to gradually suppress the opponent’s space.

Now it seemed so laughable.

Realizing he was inferior, wanting to escape, but the opponent possessed innate teleportation ability, how could he possibly escape?

Even if he burned his soul, he couldn’t outrun teleportation, and in the end, he would still be killed.

“No, there’s a chance, there must be a chance!”

Wu Zisheng’s mind was filled with fear and anxiety, but he forced himself to stay calm. After cultivating for hundreds of years, Wu Zisheng had faced countless dangers, so he naturally understood that panic would be of no use. Only by staying calm could he ultimately devise an escape strategy.

“Defense, don’t let the opponent use leverage! Burn the essence of the spiritual treasure, block the onslaught of the sword intent! Three hundred miles away, there’s a city, rush in and threaten him with the lives of the entire city!” Several thoughts flashed through Wu Zisheng’s mind, and his eyes brightened slightly.

As long as he held out for three hundred miles, there was still a glimmer of hope.

The Changheng Sword in Wu Zisheng’s hand reversed, the essence within the sword ignited, and at the same time, the shadow of a huge lake appeared behind him.

A serene and unmoving atmosphere permeated the surroundings.

Wu Zisheng carefully watched as Chen Fei’s sword thrust came, because he was solely focused on defense, allowing his mind to enter a special state. Therefore, at this moment, he could see at a glance that Chen Fei’s current sword strike was far less powerful than before.

Wu Zisheng understood that his earlier speculation was correct; the opponent had indeed practiced the Suppressing Dragon Elephant technique.

Although the power displayed by the opponent’s Suppressing Dragon Elephant technique was much stronger than rumored, its characteristics remained unchanged.

As long as he didn’t resist head-on, he wouldn’t give the opponent a chance to surge in power.

The extreme concentration caused by fear made the world appear slow in Wu Zisheng’s eyes.

Suddenly, the void trembled slightly, and a force manifested out of nowhere, merging into the Qjanyuan Sword. Chen Fei’s sword suddenly surged in power. Wu Zisheng’s eyes involuntarily widened. What did he just see?

How could a force suddenly descend and attach itself to the opponent’s sword? Where did this force come from? It wasn’t from a spiritual treasure or the void. What was going on?

Wu Zisheng’s forcibly maintained calm state of mind was instantly shattered. All his previous plans were torn apart by the scene before his eyes.

“Boom!”

The Qjanyuan Sword energy pierced through the air, knocking away Wu Zisheng’s Changheng Sword. Its momentum unabated, the sword pierced straight into Wu Zisheng’s heart.

Wu Zisheng’s body stiffened, blood incessantly spewing from his mouth as he stared straight at Chen Fei.

He didn’t understand what had happened at all.

Is that a type of technique? So, the opponent wasn’t practicing the Suppressing Dragon Elephant technique at all, but some other more mysterious method?

Wu Zisheng felt the strength in his body rapidly dissipating, fear engulfing his body and mind.

Why did he come to snatch the Heavenly Rain Flower? Why did he come to his death! Endless regret filled all of Wu Zisheng’s thoughts at this moment!

As Chen Fei withdrew his sword, Wu Zisheng trembled, bursting into a cloud of blood mist.

Chen Fei looked down at Ao Bozhong below, a sword essence flashed by, and Ao Bozhong’s aura dissipated completely.

The Slaughter Spirit Technique was activated, and the majestic spiritual essence of three early-stage Mountain Sea Realm experts rushed towards Chen Fei.

Chen Fei divided it into two parts, each entering the Qjanyuan Sword and the Concealment Bell.

The Concealment Bell and the Qjanyuan Sword trembled. The spiritual essence absorbed earlier had not been completely digested yet, and now it was coming again.

The Qjanyuan Sword was already used to its owner’s prowess; ever since it gained sentience, Chen Fei had been unmatched in power.

As for the Concealment Bell, it suddenly remembered the Thousand Yard Sect. The Master of the Thousand Yard Sect still owed it a favor. If it wasn’t for the fact that the Master of the Thousand Yard Sect wanted to visit the Primordial Sword Sect that night, it wouldn’t have appeared in its master’s hands now. Thousand Yard Sect is impressive, but I wonder how it’s faring nowadays?

The Concealment Bell didn’t have time to think about anything else. Its sentience was engulfed by the spiritual essence, once again falling into slumber.

Chen Fei waved his right hand, three spiritual treasures fell into his grasp, and a wave swept out, erasing more than half of the scene’s aura and soul imprints. Stepping out with his right foot, Chen Fei disappeared, reappearing ninety miles away.

With successive teleports, more than three hundred miles away, Chen Fei continued flying for hundreds of miles. Only when he was a thousand miles away from the area where the battle had just taken place did Chen Fei’s figure gradually slow down.

The ones coming to kill Chen Fei should have been Ao Bozhong and the others, but Chen Fei, being cautious, still tried to keep his distance as much as possible. After all, there were still many experts in the Mountain Sea Realm at Corpse Cliff Mountain. If anyone happened to pass by and harbored other intentions, it would unnecessarily cause a lot of trouble.

It was precisely with the idea of ending the battle quickly that, facing Wu Zisheng, Chen Fei directly teleported the hidden attacks within the space, thereby slaying Wu Zisheng in one fell swoop.

This attack was accumulated by Chen Fei when he was in Thousand Geese City, when he had the Monster King Nie Li attack him in response to his request.

Nie Li was somewhat confused at the time, thinking Chen Fei was testing it.

After repeated commands from Chen Fei, Nie Li finally unleashed his attack. After refining it, Chen Fei placed it within the spatial grid.

Originally, there were two attacks, but earlier, in order to obtain the Heavenly Rain Flower, Chen Fei dispersed one of the attacks stored in the spatial grid as natural energy.

Now, after slaying Wu Zisheng, Chen Fei also used up the other attack he had stored.

Choosing a mountain slope at random, Chen Fei teleported inside and began to inventory the contents of the three spiritual treasures.

High-grade elemental stones were to be expected, with each person having thousands. In total, Chen Fei amassed over seven thousand.

There were also over a hundred bottles of spirit pills suitable for early-stage Mountain Sea Realm cultivators, along with several lower-grade fourth-rank ones.

Overall, the contents of the three spiritual treasures were not surprising, belonging to the usual wealth of early-stage Mountain Sea Realm cultivators.

Compared to Xing Xinyang of the Saint Yan Sect, there was a difference, and quite a significant one at that.

Indeed, cultivators from major sects were much wealthier in the Mountain Sea Realm than cultivators from loose factions or ordinary sects.

“This array formation plate is quite good.”

Chen Fei played with the array formation plate in his hand, which was the formation set up by Wu Zisheng and the others before. Chen Fei had already tested its defensive capabilities.

Under normal circumstances, Chen Fei would need at least two or more swords to break free from the constraints of this formation.

However, in certain special situations, it could indeed come in handy.

Chen Fei extended his consciousness and soul, swiftly refining the array formation plate before storing it inside the Qjanyuan Sword.

Then, Chen Fei turned his gaze to another item, which was the jade hairpin previously held by Miao Wanhua.

To avoid trouble, Chen Fei had flown over three thousand miles away at that time. However, even so, this jade hairpin still managed to allow them to catch up.

The so-called ability to lock the soul for a thousand miles was not enough to describe the power of this jade hairpin.

A beam of light emitted from Chen Fei’s brow, enveloping the jade hairpin. Faintly, he could see the phantom of a person in a green robe.

Chen Fei furrowed his brows, feeling like he had seen the introduction of this person in a green robe somewhere before.

After a moment, Chen Fei’s expression changed slightly as he finally remembered the description of this person in a certain scripture.

“Chasing the Heavenly Daoist, no wonder even after being separated by over three thousand miles, he’s still caught up. He truly lives up to his reputation!” Chen Fei examined the jade hairpin in his hand, his eyes filled with emotion.

Setting the jade hairpin aside, Chen Fei took out all the jade slips that Miao Wanhua had stored and began to look through them one by one.

If Miao Wanhua could obtain the jade hairpin of the Heavenly Daoist, perhaps there might be other items belonging to the Heavenly Daoist as well.

Three hours passed in the blink of an eye. Chen Fei set down one jade slip in his hand and picked up another, probing his consciousness into it.

After a moment, Chen Fei’s eyes slightly lit up. An hour later, Chen Fei set down the jade slip, a hint of a smile appearing on his face.

Soul Pursuit Technique!

It was a technique that the Heavenly Daoist practiced in the early stages of cultivation, later replaced by more powerful techniques.

However, this Soul Pursuit Technique inherited the Heavenly Daoist’s consistent cultivation characteristics and had strong tracking abilities for some subtle aspects of the soul.

Moreover, according to the records in the jade slip, after the Heavenly Daoist perfected his tracking abilities, he even modified the Soul Pursuit Technique slightly, greatly enhancing its power.

From this, it could be seen that the Heavenly Daoist was indeed a perfectionist, someone who pursued perfection and was fond of delving into the details of things.

Previously, Chen Fei had thought about going to the Feihuang City to seek a Mountain Sea Realm’s Eye Technique, but unexpectedly, the Soul Pursuit Technique appeared right in front of him.

Sincerity indeed works wonders!

When you earnestly hope for something to happen, there’s always a kind- hearted person who will come to your aid!

“Merge!”

The techniques of soul pursuit from the Soul Pursuit Technique were integrated one by one into the Heavenly Eye.

The Heavenly Eye had already reached a certain limit in refining various Eye Techniques and controlling details. Apart from soul-related aspects, the Soul Pursuit Technique was actually inferior to the Heavenly Eye in other aspects.

But now, with the integration of the Soul Pursuit Technique, the Heavenly Eye was not yet perfect, but at least the shortest board had been filled.

After a moment, the fusion of techniques was completed. The newly born technique was still called the Heavenly Eye, and its proficiency dropped to perfection.

After simplification, it only required practicing the original Heavenly Eye to continue improving proficiency.

Having completed one task ahead of schedule, Chen Fei didn’t stop; he continued to organize the jade slips collected from Wu Zisheng and the others.

It took him two full days, but Chen Fei finally finished examining all the jade slips from the three spiritual treasures.

Most of the techniques were useless to Chen Fei. As for the main cultivation techniques of the three individuals, Chen Fei selectively integrated them into the Profound Demon Sword.

As Chen Fei had anticipated, the proficiency of the Profound Demon Sword didn’t decrease much because the newly integrated techniques had limited impact on its enhancement.

There was no rush to head to Feihuang City now. Chen Fei decided to cultivate in the mountain slope instead.

Suppressing Dragon Elephant, Talent Domain Suppression, Heavenly Eye.

Chen Fei temporarily halted the cultivation of the Nine Hells Profound Slaying Sword and focused on advancing his Heavenly Eye. This was because only with a successful cultivation of the Heavenly Eye could Chen Fei better utilize the Heavenly Rain Flower.

While others might use a Heavenly Rain Flower to forge a Divine Palace, Chen Fei had grander ambitions. He wanted to see if he could forge a Divine Palace with less than half of a Heavenly Rain Flower through extreme utilization.
