Even Chang Jiyun could sense Chen Fei’s formidable strength. When he forcefully increased the power of the Ice Soul Blade Array, controlling the power became quite difficult.

This was true for everyone. Even when Chen Fei broke through his limits, he couldn’t perfectly control his power.

After all, the realm of cultivation was a factor. As one side was strengthened, the other would inevitably weaken. To avoid this, the best way was to raise one’s cultivation level.

The difference between Chen Fei and Chang Jiyun was that if Chen Fei truly broke through his limits, his pursuit was for ultimate destructive power. Even if his technique was somewhat diminished, it still fell within the range he could bear.

When Chen Fei moved, the Eternal Night Manifestation moved with him.

The icy power enveloped the Eternal Night Manifestation but had no effect on Chen Fei.

Chang Jiyun’s pupils narrowed. From watching Chen Fei’s duel, he had noticed that others’ attempts to restrain Chen Fei were completely ineffective, as if Chen Fei was immune to control.

But in reality, no power is completely immune to control. As the intensity increases, the results will change.

The Frozen Domain was a force formed by stimulating fragments of subtle rules.

Chang Jiyun had encountered many mid-stage Sun Moon Realm cultivators, none of whom could be immune to this power. Even late-stage Sun Moon Realm cultivators would be affected.

However, Chen Fei’s Eternal Night Manifestation truly ignored this icy power.

“Boom!”

The Eternal Night Sword collided with the blade threads in front. The shockwave surged, causing the surrounding ice layer to explode instantly, but it quickly refroze with the released cold air.

The Eternal Night Manifestation’s figure paused slightly, thunder rumbled, and Chen Fei exerted force with his arm.

“Bang!”

The ear-splitting sound of steel being forcibly torn echoed as the blade threads snapped one by one under the pressure of the Eternal Night Sword.

The dense blade threads were pierced straight through, and with a step, the Eternal Night Manifestation came directly before Chang Jiyun.

Chang Jiyun’s face turned pale. With the blade array being pulled like this, a backlash was inevitable.

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

He looked up at the towering Eternal Night Manifestation, with its massive black sword descending from the sky.

Chang Jiyun formed a seal with one hand in front of his chest, and his figure slightly wavered, but he did not switch places with other warriors.

Chang Jiyun’s pale face changed drastically as he instinctively looked around and found a massive Eternal Night Force Field spreading out.

The strength of the Eternal Night Force Field was not as great as the Ice Soul Blade Array, as it was mainly a capability of the Desolate Thunder Night Star Sword. But now, this force field was perfectly disrupting the operation of the Ice Soul Blade Array.

This also allowed Chen Fei to discern a pattern in the operation of Chang Jiyun’s extreme-explosive power.

If time allowed, Chang Jiyun could still switch places with other warriors, but now, the Eternal Night Sword would not give him enough time.

“Break!”

Chang Jiyun shouted violently, spitting out a mouthful of blood that splattered onto the Ice Soul Blade, causing it to emit a dazzling blood-colored light.

Chang Jiyun grasped the Ice Soul Blade and pulled it out of the spatial crack.

With the Ice Soul Blade’s extraction, the power of the Ice Soul Blade Array exploded instantly and surged onto Chang Jiyun.

The skin on Chang Jiyun’s body ruptured instantly. The immense force was overwhelming, but he gritted his teeth and endured.

He looked up at Chen Fei within the Eternal Night Manifestation, revealing a sinister smile. Gripping the Ice Soul Blade with both hands, he delivered a powerful slash.

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

The principle of “no breaking, no establishing” dictated that, at the cost of shattering the array, he would achieve peak offensive power. This was Chang Jiyun’s most advanced blade technique.

“Boom!”

The clash of sword and blade occurred in mid-air. The icy power of the blade aimed to freeze the Eternal Night Sword, but it failed to do so.

Chen Fei’s eyes flashed with what seemed like lightning, as the soul within his body began to fracture.

The Desolate Thunder Night Star Sword integrated three Emperor Legacies. While the Eternal Night Chant was relatively balanced and peaceful, the other two inheritances focused entirely on ultimate attack power.

Soul Dissolution! Divine Dissolution! Body Dissolution!

These were the three stages of breaking limits with the Desolate Thunder Night Star Sword. Unlike other forbidden techniques, this one began by targeting the soul directly.

Soul Dissolution was akin to burning the soul but even more extreme.

At this moment, Chen Fei’s soul had directly vanished by fifty percent, replaced by twisted and violent power.

If Soul Dissolution wasn’t sufficient, then Divine Dissolution would follow.

Here, “Divine” referred to divine abilities, not mental focus. Divine Dissolution involved tearing apart divine abilities to reveal fragments of rules, ultimately using these broken rules to exchange for destructive power.

As for Body Dissolution, it meant the complete disappearance of the physical body to gain power beyond one’s own.

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

These three stages of power unlocking were part of the forbidden techniques within the Desolate Thunder Night Star Sword, to be used only when there was no other option.

In a normal state, it was the Heavenly Thunder that provided peak power.

However, for other Sun Moon Realm cultivators, the dangerous Soul Dissolution was nothing compared to Chen Fei, who had an indestructible divine soul.

Even if fifty percent of the soul vanished, recovering it with rare materials would be incredibly difficult.

But for Chen Fei, the conversion between essence, qi, and spirit allowed him to transfer essence and qi to the soul, mitigating this drawback.

Thus, this technique was nearly routine for Chen Fei, albeit it consumed more essence and spirit. In a prolonged battle, Chen Fei might not sustain it for long.

But against Chang Jiyun, one move was more than sufficient.

In fact, Chen Fei could have defeated Chang Jiyun without Soul Dissolution; it would have just taken a few more moves.

By using Soul Dissolution now, Chen Fei was mainly testing the technique’s effectiveness in combat.

The towering Eternal Night Manifestation suddenly ignited with dark flames.

“Crack! Crack! Crack!”

The Ice Soul Blade, engaged with the Eternal Night Sword, suddenly halted, and the contact area burst apart.

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

Chang Jiyun’s ferocious expression froze. Feeling the destructive aura radiating from the Eternal Night Manifestation, a shadow of death enveloped his heart.

Before Chang Jiyun could grasp what was happening, the blade light from the Ice Soul Blade shattered, and the Eternal Night Sword, unstoppable, cleared all obstacles and approached Chang Jiyun.

Without time to react, Chang Jiyun could only raise the Ice Soul Blade to defend.

“Boom!”

A massive spherical shockwave engulfed Chang Jiyun, and his body quivered. Blood mist erupted from his shattered flesh.

“Bang!”

The spherical shockwave exploded, and Chang Jiyun, defenseless, was slammed into the arena floor, carving a long scar and then lying motionless.

He was near death!

The moment he took the blow from the Eternal Night Sword, Chang Jiyun was heavily injured and fell into a death-like unconsciousness.

The power of the Eternal Night Sword was beyond Chang Jiyun’s capability to endure.

Chen Fei’s direct dissolution of fifty percent of his soul to obtain twisted and destructive power was somewhat unscrupulous.

If Chen Fei hadn’t pulled back at the last moment, Chang Jiyun’s body would have exploded in mid-air, never even reaching the ground.

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

Chen Fei looked down, watching as the massive Eternal Night Manifestation slowly dissipated. The dark clouds in the sky had also dispersed at some unknown point.

Outside the arena, a quiet settled as everyone processed the sword strike Chen Fei had just demonstrated.

Many could sense that Chen Fei had likely used a forbidden technique in the final moments, given the irregular fluctuations in his soul.

But regardless of the forbidden technique Chen Fei employed, the ultimate victor was Chen Fei.

With his early-stage Sun Moon Realm cultivation, he had defeated Chang Jiyun, achieving victory against a higher level opponent.

Chen Fei became the first to successfully advance beyond his level in this round of the Qiankun Mansion.

Reflecting on previous successful advances, the lowest starting point had been mid-stage Rule Integration Realm.

In an instant, the way people looked at Chen Fei changed.

A Rule Integration Realm seed?

No, a mid-stage Rule Integration Realm seed, and perhaps even higher!

News of Chen Fei’s victory over Chang Jiyun spread rapidly throughout the Qiankun Mansion. After all, not everyone had been there to witness the event.

Not only in the Qiankun Mansion but also in various human cities outside, Chen Fei’s name began to spread.

Although Chen Fei had previously won twelve consecutive battles, gaining fame, it was nothing compared to this level of success.

Outside, the excitement was palpable, while Chen Fei received his reward of five thousand merit points from the Qiankun Mansion.

In addition to the merit points, the courtyard that had belonged to Chang Jiyun now belonged to Chen Fei.

A courtyard for the thirty-third place in the mid-stage Sun Moon Realm was significantly better than the top courtyard for the early-stage Sun Moon Realm, and much more so.

This was to encourage everyone to advance their cultivation level more rapidly, rather than remaining stagnant.

Chen Fei, accompanied by the Primordial Sword Sect members, moved to the new courtyard.

The people from the twenty-nine early-stage Sun Moon Realm courtyards came to see Chen Fei off, even though it was not far.

The gesture was significant, regardless of the distance.

Chi Shuqing and Tong Linyun followed closely behind Chen Fei, their faces betraying their excitement.

Chi Shuqing was now at the mid-stage of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, while Tong Linyun was at the peak of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, poised to break through to the Mountain Sea Realm.

Senior Brother Guo Linshan looked around with a hearty smile, his gaze meeting those of the Sun Moon Realm cultivators, who nodded in acknowledgment.

As a future mid-stage Sixth Stage Rule Integration Realm cultivator, Chen Fei’s value had undergone a massive shift, and those around him had changed dramatically as well.

Baka, feeling intimidated by the aura of the Sun Moon Realm cultivators around, dared not look and stayed close to Chen Fei.

Lu Shuzhang watched Chen Fei and his entourage head towards the mid-stage Sun Moon Realm courtyard, his eyes flickering with excitement.

Having been stunned by the competition earlier, Lu Shuzhang was left with a singular clear thought.

He needed to work hard, catch up with Chen Fei. As a descendant of the Emperor, he couldn’t be beaten by anyone!

The inhabitants of the mid-stage Sun Moon Realm courtyard looked at Chen Fei and his group with nods, their expressions somewhat unusual.

Even though they weren’t the ones defeated, there was a sense of empathy.

Moreover, they genuinely envied Chen Fei’s displayed talent.

As Chen Fei and his group entered the courtyard, they immediately felt the difference in the elemental energy of heaven and earth.

Cultivating here was noticeably faster than in the previous courtyard, given that it was originally intended for mid-stage Sun Moon Realm cultivators.

For Feng Xiupu and the others, the difference wasn’t as pronounced, as the previous courtyard had already been exceptionally effective.

Half an hour later, Chen Fei found Hua Zhizun.

Earning over 1,900 merit points, though less than before, still brought Chen Fei’s total to nearly 8,500 merit points after adding the additional 500 from Hua Zhizun.

Over the past month, Chen Fei’s accumulation of merit points had reached an extraordinary level.

Hua Zhizun looked at Chen Fei, unsure of what to think.

If this were the human frontier rather than the Qiankun Mansion, Hua Zhizun would have already taken action.

Such wealth would prompt any mid-stage Sun Moon Realm cultivator to act.

Any hesitation would be seen as disrespect for such a colossal amount of merit points!

Chen Fei gave a slight bow to Hua Zhizun before turning and leaving.

Hua Zhizun watched Chen Fei’s departing figure with a sigh. It wouldn’t be long before Chen Fei’s cultivation level would be on par with his own.

That feeling was somewhat disconcerting.

In front of the Qiankun Mansion’s Treasure Depository, Chen Fei stopped and looked up at the grand doors before him.
