Chapter 637: Monster King Arrives

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Yan Liu looked at Chen Fei with a cruel expression, “No matter how strong you are, what can you do? In the face of the power of the Monster King, all beneath the Monster King are mere ants.”

Chen Fei struggled to lift his head to look at Yan Liu. His whole body felt as if it were being pressed down by towering mountains, rendering him unable to move not only his body but also his elemental force and consciousness seemed to be in a state of stagnation.

Now, although Yan Liu was exerting the power of the Monster King, due to his slightly weaker cultivation level, the amount of Monster King’s power he could endure was limited. But there was still a good chance of slaying a peak Combined Aperture Tempering realm expert.

With Chen Fei’s current strength, if he were to directly confront this power of the Monster King, the likelihood of being instantly obliterated was extremely high.

Chen Fei had long anticipated that Yan Liu would possess the power of the Monster King, after all, he was a descendant of the Monster King, so this move was almost inevitable. However, Chen Fei didn’t choose to flee just now; instead, he opted to face it head-on.

A beam of light appeared above Chen Fei’s head, revealing a broken ruler, which was the damaged spiritual treasure he had obtained earlier.

This spiritual treasure, though not as powerful as top-grade magic treasures, was slightly stronger than the Qianyuan Sword. However, in some aspects, this broken ruler still retained some of the power of a spiritual treasure.

The power of the Monster King, fundamentally, was more of an absolute suppression targeting the consciousness or the soul, which was due to the disparity in ranks.

In this power of the Monster King, the actual monster energy contained within was not excessively exaggerated because there was too much of it for Yan Liu himself to bear.

Just like Gu Danying back then, what was sealed within the magic treasure was the intent of the sword, not the essence of the sword.

!!..

Using the sword intent to suppress the monster energy and consciousness of a peak third-tier turtle demon, putting it completely defenseless, naturally allowed for a single strike to kill.

Although the power of the broken ruler was insufficient, as a spiritual treasure, it could still resist some degree of soul suppression.

With the dazzling brilliance bursting from the broken ruler, Chen Fei’s motionless body and consciousness loosened slightly. The next moment, Chen Fei disappeared from Yan Liu’s sight, reappearing in a position to his side and rear.

The teleportation technique, which Chen Fei had cultivated to perfection, allowed him to continuously teleport in a short period. In terms of the extent to which he had mastered this innate talent, Chen Fei might even have surpassed Yan Liu’s domain sealing.

After all, Chen Fei could continually improve through practice, whereas Yan Liu could only enhance his talent by comprehending his own bloodline.

Yan Liu sensed Chen Fei breaking free from the restraint of the Monster King’s power, and couldn’t help but be astonished. What kind of human was this, to even possess spiritual treasures!

Even though it was a broken and unimaginable spiritual treasure, Chen Fei seized that momentary opportunity.

With the Monster King’s power unleashed, Yan Liu had already committed himself, unable to retract it. He could only divert the force of the Monster King’s power from striking forward, causing it to burst midway and then envelop an area within a mile.

Although this diminished the power contained within the Monster King’s force, Chen Fei’s sudden departure disrupted his rhythm, leaving Yan Liu with no choice but to resort to this strategy.

Chen Fei’s gaze locked onto Yan Liu, and the Heavenly Eye between his eyebrows almost completely shrouded the front. The consciousness in Chen Fei’s sea of knowledge trembled violently.

Only the power one can control poses the greatest threat. The Monster King’s power was fundamentally something Yan Liu couldn’t control; at most, he could only barely unleash it.

While the Heavenly Eye couldn’t penetrate the domain seal in the short term, at this moment, Chen Fei could discern many flaws in the Monster King’s power.

These flaws weren’t due to the Monster King’s power itself, but rather Yan Liu’s inability to wield this power effectively. Thus, it became inevitable that these flaws existed.

Other people facing the power of the Monster King had their consciousness, elemental force, and bodies suppressed, unable to even resist, let alone discern any flaws.

But due to the obstruction of the broken ruler spiritual treasure, Chen Fei had a momentary gap, and for him, this gap was already more than enough.

A stream of sword energy emerged from within the spatial grid, rushing into the broken ruler, breaking through the successive blockades of the Monster King’s power, with Chen Fei closely following behind.

Yan Liu turned his head to watch this scene, his eyes involuntarily widening slightly. Although the sword energy within the broken ruler was rapidly depleted due to constant collisions with the Monster King’s power.

But Yan Liu had never imagined that a Combined Aperture Tempering realm martial artist could directly clash head-on with the power of the Monster King without relying on the power of the same level of Mountain Sea realm, and still manage to break through.

“Buzz!”

The sword energy within the broken ruler was exhausted, and the brilliance on the broken ruler dimmed to the extreme. Even the resistance against the suppression of the Monster King’s power on the soul began to falter. However, Chen Fei had already arrived in front of Yan Liu.

At this moment, there was nothing blocking between Chen Fei and Yan Liu, and Yan Liu, because he was exerting the power of the Monster King, was completely unable to mobilize the monster energy within his own body.

This wasn’t originally considered a flaw because no one had ever thought that the power of the Monster King could be so easily broken through. But today, Chen Fei achieved it.

Chen Fei’s right hand took hold of the broken ruler, and the elemental force within his body surged like a mountain collapsing and the earth splitting, accompanied by the roaring sound of the dragon and elephant echoing in all directions.

Taking a step forward, Chen Fei thrust the broken ruler forward.

Yan Liu widened its eyes, wanting to control the surrounding Monster King’s power to besiege Chen Fei, but when it came to the power of the Monster King, Yan Liu could release it but couldn’t retract it, unable to command it as effortlessly as its own monster energy.

Yan Liu drove its monster energy madly, disregarding whether doing so would cause any harm to its own body. Right now, all it could think of was blocking Chen Fei’s move.

A glimmer of light emerged on Yan Liu’s body, barely blocking the eight arms in front of the broken ruler. But achieving this was already all that Yan Liu could do.

Chen Fei remained composed as the broken ruler, like a skilled butcher carving meat, easily bypassed the obstruction of the iron hammer. At the same time, taking advantage of the gap created by Yan Liu’s hastily mobilized monsteric energy, the broken ruler struck Yan Liu’s main body.

“Boom!”

The six forbidden techniques, almost considered Chen Fei’s strongest power at present, all penetrated Yan Liu’s body.

And because of the pervasive Monster King’s power surrounding them, all of Chen Fei’s power was suppressed within Yan Liu’s body, turning the surrounding Monster King’s power into a kind of confinement at this moment.

Yan Liu’s body trembled violently, its entire aura plummeting in an instant. Its vitality was completely lost under the repeated grinding of the sword energy, leaving it devoid of any vitality.

Yan Liu’s mouth quivered slightly as its huge eyes stared at Chen Fei, filled with confusion and bewilderment.

Clearly, by exerting the power of the Monster King, it seemed to have hastened its own demise instead. This clashed strongly with its previous understanding.

Things shouldn’t have been like this, but now, the reality was that it was truly about to die, powerless to resist.

Without exerting the power of the Monster King, it could have fought back and forth, and even if it chose not to confront, Yan Liu felt it could have left without being stopped.

But the result now was this!

It was somewhat ridiculous, but Yan Liu didn’t know whom to laugh at!

“Buzz!”

With Yan Liu completely devoid of vitality, the surrounding Monster King’s power burst forth as the restraints were lifted. Chen Fei’s figure dissipated, only to reappear several miles away. The broken ruler was dim and lifeless, with occasional flashes of light passing over it.

The next time Chen Fei wanted to use the broken ruler to resist the suppression of his soul, he would have to first restore the power of the spiritual treasure slightly with elemental stones.

As the forbidden techniques dissipated within Chen Fei’s body, he raised his head and looked into the distance. Yan Liu’s monster form was plummeting downwards, the descendant of the Monster King, meeting his end here.

Beneath them, the sea surface had sunk several miles due to the power of the Monster King, while the surrounding seawater continued to rush in, emitting a deafening roar.

With just a trace of the power of the Monster King, it possessed such earth-shattering power. One could only imagine the true might of a real Monster King.

Chen Fei looked down at the broken ruler in his hand. Although its power was now all but gone, it had still provided immense assistance to Chen Fei, whether in his daily cultivation or in slaying the descendant of the Monster King today.

This spiritual treasure had truly played a monumental role.

After a moment, Chen Fei stood on the sea surface. With a sweep of his sword, he turned Yan Liu’s body into powder.

Two Qiankun Bags appeared in Chen Fei’s hands, along with a massive iron hammer.

The iron hammer was crudely crafted, but the power it contained was undiminished. However, it was not suitable for human use. Chen Fei intended to sell it, but the difficulty was immense.

The Qianyuan Sword touched the iron hammer, and a majestic spiritual essence was drawn out and poured into the Qianyuan Sword. In just a moment, the iron hammer lost its luster and turned into powder.

As for the two Qiankun Bags, although they were originally used by monster beasts, human treasures were difficult for them to utilize. However, Qiankun Bags like these were extremely practical for storing items.

Especially for late-stage third-tier monster beasts, swallowing everything into their stomachs seemed somewhat unsightly.

Chen Fei didn’t examine the contents of the Qiankun Bags in detail. He simply took out the items with abundant elemental energy and threw them into the pill furnace, then placed the furnace into the spatial grid.

As for the two Qiankun Bags, Chen Fei directly tore them open.

With a swing of his right hand, he severed all the surrounding auras. Chen Fei’s figure dissipated, and he directly teleported thirty miles away. With another teleportation, he caught up with Peng Huaitao and the others.

At this moment, the aura of Chen Fei’s clone had dropped back to the Aperture Tempering realm. Although he had only used the six forbidden techniques for a short time, the damage to his body was immense.

Under the pressure of the body technique, the clone naturally bore tremendous pressure. If Chen Fei had waited a moment longer, the clone might have disappeared altogether.

Chen Fei recalled his clone and looked up at Peng Huaitao and the others. The three of them subconsciously met Chen Fei’s gaze.

A hint of confusion appeared in their eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

Chen Fei used the Dream Entry Technique to erase some of the images the three had just seen. Then, he grabbed them and flew away at an extremely fast speed.

At this moment, there was no time to worry about whether they would be discovered by other sea monsters. Getting away from here as quickly as possible was the most important thing.

Thousands of miles away, a figure was originally seated cross-legged. Suddenly, its eyes snapped open, and a terrifying aura descended, silently disintegrating the surrounding stone walls.

This person’s pupils were tinged with a hint of gold, with a very obvious difference from humans.

“Yan Xie, what has happened?” Another tall figure appeared silently in the cave.

“My offspring has died!” Yan Xie left these words behind, took a step, and disappeared into the cave.

Several dozen miles outside Wind Lake City, several third-tier sea monsters floated in the air, looking around with confusion.

Several hours ago, they had sensed something unusual from afar, but when they arrived here, they found nothing.

Suddenly, a figure appeared in the sky, and all the sea monsters felt their bodies stiffen, involuntarily falling to the sea surface..
