It was a shock to the soul. A disorienting Perception

If it had been someone else in the early stages of the Sun Moon Realm facing such an attack, even if they had realized there was a problem, it would have been difficult to break through.

This was because the attack was a full suppression of the spirit, energy, and soul from the mid-stage of the Sun Moon Realm. When someone was inferior in these aspects, it became impossible to escape, which was also one of the reasons why surpassing realms in combat was challenging.

Combat was not just a simple comparison of power; there were too many factors influencing the outcome.

The combination of spirit, energy, and soul could vary greatly. Once an opponent seized on a weakness, they would relentlessly pursue it.

Such absolute disparities were difficult to form among individuals of the same realm.

A purple light had flashed from Chen Fei’s eyes, and the surrounding illusions had vanished. What Chen Fei worried about the least was the shock to the soul.

The Qianyuan Sword had slightly trembled, emitting a melodious sword hum. In the next moment, Chen Fei had swung his right hand, and the Qianyuan Sword rose against the current.

The Eternal Night Manifestation had synchronized completely with Chen Fei. The enormous sword, several miles long, had swept forward, colliding with Chang Jiyun’s blade light.

“Boom!”

The explosive sound had soared to the sky. Chang Jiyun’s Ice Soul Blade had slightly faltered, and the overwhelming blade light could no longer advance.

Chang Jiyun’s brows had furrowed tightly. The power Chen Fei had displayed was much stronger than he had imagined.

Although the previous two sword moves had only been probing, even someone in the early Sun Moon Realm, let alone the mid-stage, would have been injured if not handled properly.

Yet, Chen Fei’s current demeanor had been as calm as ever, indicating that he had not yet taken the fight seriously.

“Truly a prodigious talent!”

Chang Jiyun had snorted coldly, flipping the Ice Soul Blade and thrusting its blade directly into the void ahead.

Half of the Ice Soul Blade’s edge had disappeared, as if melding into the void.

A person in the mid-stage of the Sun Moon Realm did not have the capability to tear the space of the Return to Nothing Realm.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Even if they could see some spatial seams, inserting a weapon into them would have been difficult.

Yet Chang Jiyun had accomplished this with extreme precision and finesse in controlling his power.

“Hum!”

As the Ice Soul Blade had entered the void, a massive ripple had spread from it, causing the temperature in the entire training ground to plummet sharply.

The space seemed to have been freezing.

“Thousand Miles of Ice, Chang Jiyun’s trump card move.”

Those familiar with Chang Jiyun below the training ground had murmured upon seeing his technique.

It was rumored that this move had been a fragment that Chang Jiyun stumbled upon, which he had later perfected into the current technique.

The most mysterious aspect of this move was not the domain power of freezing a thousand miles, as many possessed such wide-area attacks.

However, a large area had a relatively difficult-to-avoid flaw: it was powerful but not condensed. Although the attack seemed to come from all directions, the actual intensity of the attack that needed to be faced was relatively limited.

In a fight between evenly matched opponents, the domain could be easily torn apart, leading to a counterattack.

Unless such a domain did not consume the body’s power or consumed very little, it would have had a significant advantage.

Chang Jiyun’s Thousand Miles of Ice required substantial energy consumption. Even if it was torn, the ice-like power, which was supported by space, resulted in minimal backlash.

Chang Jiyun’s blade stab had struck a rule fragment in the space, allowing it to naturally evolve into its current form.

Thus, Chang Jiyun’s true energy expenditure had only been for the initial stab; maintaining the freezing power required very little Yuan force.

Chen Fei had sensed the changes in the surrounding space, his expression slightly shifting. He had directly pried into the rule’s power.

Although it had been only a slight pry, it was a significant advancement compared to other mid-stage Sun Moon Realm practitioners.

Typically, only those at the peak of the Sun Moon Realm began to meddle with and manipulate rule fragments as they prepared to break through to the Rule Integration Realm.

It was precisely for this reason that the power at the peak of the Sun Moon Realm saw a substantial increase.

In the lower realms, one could only break through space, traverse the void, and enter the Return to Nothing Realm.

The temperature around the Eternal Night Manifestation had dropped increasingly, with the ground having long since frozen and crystallized. Ice crystals had started to extend upward along the ground, aiming to completely confine the space.

Chang Jiyun had removed his right hand from the Ice Soul Blade and formed seals with both hands. The hundreds of warriors behind him had scattered across a hundred-mile radius, and a massive formation had begun to rise.

With the warriors as the core of the formation and the surrounding freezing power assisting in concealment, Chang Jiyun could appear anywhere at will and fully utilize the formation’s power.

Human strength was limited, which was why cultivation methods existed to continuously enhance oneself. The formation was a more extreme way to harness the power of heaven and earth.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Everyone below the training ground had their eyes firmly fixed on the stage.

Chang Jiyun had begun to exert his full strength, and now it was up to Chen Fei to respond.

If Chen Fei struggled to cope, the outcome of the match would be determined.

If Chen Fei handled it with ease but could not find Chang Jiyun’s real location, the result would still become increasingly unfavorable for Chen Fei.

In terms of attrition, the early Sun Moon Realm could not outlast the mid-stage, let alone Chang Jiyun’s combat style.

To some extent, Chang Jiyun’s combat method was better suited for positional warfare; the more he could confine an area, the greater his advantage.

In the wild, if others encountered Chang Jiyun’s technique and could not match it, they could quickly retreat. Chang Jiyun would have had difficulty pursuing.

However, in a training ground like this, although it was large with a radius of several hundred miles, opponents could not completely retreat and would inevitably face Chang Jiyun’s formation and freezing domain.

Vast sword lights began to appear within the freezing domain. Enhanced by the formation, the power of the sword lights increased severalfold.

Chen Fei looked at the sword lights appearing before him and casually waved the Qianyuan Sword. The Eternal Night Sword shattered the sword lights directly.

The sword lights had considerable power but did not pose a threat to the Eternal Night Manifestation. However, the shattered sword lights did not disappear.

The fragments of the sword lights, guided by the formation, reassembled into other intact sword lights, continuing to increase their power.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Thus, while the sword lights appeared shattered, the actual consumption was minimal. Over time, the number of sword lights within the formation would grow and their power would intensify.

Ultimately, a grand momentum would form, completely defeating anyone within the formation.

After sensing Chen Fei’s strength, Chang Jiyun had abandoned the idea of quickly defeating Chen Fei and instead used his most familiar combat method to shift the rhythm to his advantage.

When strengths were comparable, it often came down to who could shift the battle’s rhythm to their strongest position.

As long as he remained comfortable and his opponent struggled, the balance of the fight would begin to tip.

But this only worked when the strengths were comparable.

Chen Fei was far stronger than Chang Jiyun!

“Boom!”

Dark clouds had gathered in the sky at some point, with countless purple lightning bolts weaving through them.

In the next moment, thousands of lightning bolts had struck down, hitting the Eternal Night Manifestation and causing its aura to expand instantly.

Outside the training ground, many people looked on in amazement.

They had all specifically studied the Eternal Night Chant, so they immediately recognized the origin of the Eternal Night Manifestation.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

However, the addition of thousands of lightning bolts to the Eternal Night Manifestation was something not present in the original Eternal Night Chant.

Some turned to Lu Shuzhang, who, as a direct descendant of the Sky Resonance Court, was likely the most knowledgeable about the Eternal Night Chant.

However, at this moment, Lu Shuzhang’s brow had furrowed as he observed the changes in Chen Fei on the training ground.

Chen Fei seemed to have modified the Eternal Night Chant!

Although it was unbelievable, it seemed to be the case.

Even more astonishing was that Chen Fei’s modifications appeared to be quite successful. At least the Eternal Night Manifestation, now did not require the cover of night, and its aura continued to rise.

Chang Jiyun looked up at the sky, where several sword lights had soared, disrupting the clouds.

The dark clouds had shattered, but the lightning within continued. On closer inspection, many lightning bolts were emanating from the seams in the void.

The Desolate Thunder Night Star Sword, as one of the most elite techniques in the Sun Moon Realm, had its flaws become apparent if the dark clouds were disrupted and its enhancements interrupted. Its defects were even more evident compared to the night domain’s cover.

Chang Jiyun had stopped his movements, looking at Chen Fei with a stern expression.

In the freezing domain, the elemental energy of heaven and earth had gathered, and the number of sword lights had become increasingly dense.

The Eternal Night Chant was powerful, and Chen Fei had cultivated to this level in a short time, showing remarkable talent. Moreover, it seemed he had modified it with excellent results.

But to think that such things could control Chang Jiyun was wishful thinking!

“Hum!”

The sword lights suddenly contracted, forming into sharp sword threads.

The sword threads were extraordinarily sharp. Even a single glance seemed to cut through the soul. At this moment, there were thousands of such sword threads in the freezing domain.

In the next moment, these sword threads surged towards Chen Fei, while on the periphery, the elemental energy of heaven and earth continued to churn, generating new sword threads in succession.

Everyone in the early stages of the Sun Moon Realm watching the dense array of sword threads was terrified. If they were surrounded by such a sword formation, there would be nothing left of them but bones.

The mid-stage Sun Moon Realm practitioners were equally solemn.

Among so many mid-stage practitioners present, few could withstand such an attack.

On the training ground, Chen Fei had tilted the Qianyuan Sword towards the ground, surveying the surroundings with a faint smile on his face.

At this moment, the power of the sword formation had reached its peak, and Chen Fei decided to take action.

Chen Fei did not intend to defeat Chang Jiyun at his strongest. On the training ground, such a feat was unnecessary, and Chen Fei had no plans to recruit Chang Jiyun as his subordinate.

The reason for taking action now was that it was the best time to do so.

Chang Jiyun’s divine ability to create soldiers from beans allowed him to switch bodies among the more than a hundred warriors at will.

Whenever Chang Jiyun sensed danger, he would directly change his position.

However, now that Chang Jiyun had fully committed, the fluctuations of vital force and the elemental energy of heaven and earth had become too apparent.
