Chapter 663  : The Milky Way Descends

Chen Fei locked eyes with Shen Yuanjun, his hair swaying gently without any breeze, drifting backward.

In Shen Yuanjun’s gaze, there was a profound sense of pressure, like two sharp blades piercing into your pupils, making you unable to resist the urge to look away.

“How did you discover it?”

It seemed like it had been too long since he last spoke, Shen Yuanjun’s voice sounded extremely hoarse, as if metal was grinding against metal, threatening to pierce through one’s eardrums.

Having been exposed by Chen Fei’s words, Shen Yuanjun chose not to continue lurking in the shadows, because it was pointless. He knew that Chen Fei had truly seen through him.

Now, Shen Yuanjun was even more curious about how Chen Fei had detected his concealment.

Over the past century, Shen Yuanjun had deceived everyone in the Fallen Heaven Pavilion, including the three peak experts in the Combined Aperture Tempering realm.

Even Tan Bingxiu, in order to smoothly take over his body in the end, had to personally refine his body with elemental force every once in a while.

In such circumstances, Tan Bingxiu hadn’t noticed any abnormalities.

Yet, as soon as Chen Fei arrived at the altar, he saw through his true nature, leaving Shen Yuanjun unable to quell his curiosity.

Chen Fei didn’t answer, only calmly gazing at Shen Yuanjun.

The Heavenly Eye couldn’t penetrate Shen Yuanjun’s concealment. Over the past century, relying on his innate talent, Shen Yuanjun had already cultivated the Minghe Record to the pinnacle.

Ordinary methods simply couldn’t detect any abnormalities in Shen Yuanjun.

The only flaw in Shen Yuanjun lay within his soul!

If Chen Fei didn’t possess the Soul Breaking Technique and the Suppressing Dragon Elephant Soul Tempering, he wouldn’t have been able to discern Shen Yuanjun’s clues. However, because of these two techniques, Chen Fei’s divine soul sensed Shen Yuanjun’s anomaly.

Although Shen Yuanjun was currently on the verge of the Mountain Sea Realm, he had not truly taken that step.

Moreover, Shen Yuanjun dared not let the spiritual energy of heaven and earth nourish his soul to prevent Tan Bingxiu and the other two from detecting his abnormality.

If Shen Yuanjun’s vitality and spirit at this moment were at the peak of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, his only flaw would be that his soul was weaker than that of an ordinary peak Combined Aperture Tempering realm practitioner.

Of course, this couldn’t really be considered a flaw. Shen Yuanjun only needed to spend some time. With his current foundation, elevating his soul would not be as effortless as flipping a hand, but it would still be much easier than other peak Combined Aperture Tempering realm practitioners.

Without receiving an answer, Shen Yuanjun didn’t pursue further questioning. His body, originally seated cross -legged, floated up.

As Shen Yuanjun’s feet touched the ground, a layer of fine ripples spread out from the ground, as if the mysterious aura of the entire mysterious realm was cheering.

A tremendous pressure instantly converged, pressing down on Chen Fei.

“We have no grievances or enmities, it shouldn’t be like this.”

Shen Yuanjun looked at Chen Fei, his head slightly raised, and said, “But you are too outstanding. A peak Third-Tier Evil, a peak Combined Aperture Tempering realm warrior, are like child’s play to you.”

“So, you look down on Tan Bingxiu and want to devour me?” Chen Fei chuckled softly.

Having lurked for a hundred years, the Fallen Heaven Pavilion had always thought that when Shen Yuanjun broke through, it would be their moment to take over Shen Yuanjun’s body.

But the reality was, once Tan Bingxiu truly integrated into Shen Yuanjun’s body, he would be directly devoured and refined by Shen Yuanjun, ultimately achieving Shen Yuanjun’s own goals. All of this, until Chen Fei appeared.

Everything within the mysterious realm, in Shen Yuanjun’s eyes, was crystal clear. From the moment Chen Fei started slaughtering the Thousand-Eyed Ghouls, Shen Yuanjun focused his attention on Chen Fei.

In the end, Shen Yuanjun shifted his target from Tan Bingxiu to Chen Fei because Chen Fei was stronger and could better compensate for the deficiencies of the Minghe Record.

If Shen Yuanjun only fused with Tan Bingxiu, even if he eventually achieved the Mountain Sea Realm, he would still be the weakest existence in the Mountain Sea Realm, and his future would be limited to this.

Shen Yuanjun was so proud that even the Mountain Sea Realm was definitely not his ultimate goal.

However, Shen Yuanjun’s previous idea was to become the Mountain Sea Realm first, and then make up for his own shortcomings from other places.

But Chen Fei’s appearance, with such a powerful physical body, was a perfect material for fusion.

It’s just that, unexpectedly, faced with such an opportunity to achieve rapid progress and step into the Mountain Sea Realm, Chen Fei was completely unmoved, not even the slightest bit tempted.

And then, he even saw through Shen Yuanjun’s true intentions!

Since enticing Chen Fei had no effect, Shen Yuanjun could only take what he needed himself.

“We will merge into one, and together we will conquer the endless seas of the future!”

Shen Yuanjun took a step forward, and the overwhelming momentum of a collapsing mountain and a roaring sea pressed down on Chen Fei. Ripples appeared all over Chen Fei’s body, as if the entire world were rejecting him.

The aura of the entire mysterious realm contained Shen Yuanjun’s will, the result of nearly a hundred years of cultivation.

If Tan Bingxiu and the other two were still only borrowing the aura of this world, in Shen Yuanjun’s hands, the entire mysterious realm belonged to him alone.

He was the true king here, with all power at his disposal!

Chen Fei’s eyelids lifted slightly, and the elemental energy slowly circulating within his body suddenly boiled.

Forbidden Technique, Seven Gates!

“Hum!”

Chen Fei’s momentum suddenly broke through the suppression of the surrounding elemental energy, forcibly severing the will of Shen Yuanjun contained within the elemental energy.

If it were any other peak Combined Aperture Tempering realm practitioner, fighting against Shen Yuanjun in such an environment would almost certainly result in death, with the only difference being how many moves they could withstand.

However, with Chen Fei activating the Seven Forbidden Techniques, he had elevated his vitality and spirit to the verge of the Mountain Sea Realm. Even his elemental energy, to a certain extent, was more extreme.

As for Shen Yuanjun’s blockade of the elemental energy in this world, it wasn’t just about spatial filtering and conversion. At this moment, Chen Fei’s own mental strength alone could forcibly seize a portion of the elemental energy.

Ultimately, the elemental energy within this mysterious realm was saturated with Shen Yuanjun’s will, not because Shen Yuanjun’s mental strength had become so powerful that he could instantly control such a vast expanse of elemental energy.

It was only through years of continuous refinement that this effect had been achieved.

To other peak Combined Aperture Tempering realm practitioners, it might seem like there was no difference; after all, they were all unable to defeat Shen Yuanjun.

But for Chen Fei, the difference was significant.

If Shen Yuanjun’s mental strength could instantly control such a vast expanse of elemental energy, Chen Fei wouldn’t hesitate for a moment. His first action would be to tear through the spatial barriers and leave this place.

Because there was no chance of winning.

But now, since Shen Yuanjun didn’t want to let him leave and intended to devour him, Chen Fei would have to fight to find out.

Chen Fei’s flesh and blood trembled continuously, and the pressure from the Seven Forbidden Techniques on him remained as strong as ever. However, whether it was due to the Suppressing Dragon Elephant Soul Tempering or not, this time, when Chen Fei cast the Seven Forbidden Techniques again, he found that his flesh and blood had surprisingly adapted somewhat to the impact of this power compared to the first time.

Outside the altar, Chen Fei’s clone’s aura slowly decreased. At this moment, there was a portion of Tan Bingxiu’s spiritual essence within the clone’s body, which was used for consumption.

Using the essence of Tan Bingxiu, one of the three peak Combined Aperture Tempering realm experts, as a consumable item, perhaps only Chen Fei would be so extravagant.

Shen Yuanjun watched Chen Fei’s display of power, his eyes slightly wavering.

Although Shen Yuanjun had sensed Chen Fei’s violent fighting style from afar when Chen Fei battled against the Fallen Heaven Pavilion, seeing it face-to-face still made Shen Yuanjun amazed.

What a mighty physique!

Shen Yuanjun’s physique, tempered by the Minghe Record over the past century, should have already reached the barrier of the Mountain Sea Realm.

However, compared to Chen Fei, it seemed to lack some crucial power, which prevented Shen Yuanjun from directly activating the Seven Forbidden Techniques to fight.

“Hum!”

Shen Yuanjun’s momentum soared as the Three Forbidden Techniques operated, this being Shen Yuanjun’s limit. Adding more Forbidden Techniques would directly break through the constraints of his physical body, leading to instant death.

Shen Yuanjun stared at Chen Fei. As long as he devoured Chen Fei, all of Chen Fei’s abilities would ultimately belong to him.

The early stages of the Mountain Sea Realm were definitely not the endpoint but rather the starting point, a magnificent starting point!

“Hiss hiss hiss!”

The clash of their auras caused the void to ripple and crack, revealing countless fine fissures. The strength of this mysterious realm could no longer withstand the power of these two individuals at the verge of the Mountain Sea Realm.

Chen Fei took a step forward, and the elemental energy within his body surged.

If Shen Yuanjun wanted to devour him, Chen Fei was eager to see if the so-called number one talent in the Thousand Feathers Alliance had such impressive skills as rumored!

Countless sword intent condensed into the form of elemental energy swords all over Chen Fei’s body, intertwining and merging into a sword formation. In the blink of an eye, hundreds of sword blades appeared all around Chen Fei.

Chen Fei thrust the broken ruler in his hand forward, and the hundreds of sword blades surrounded it, forming an unparalleled sharpness. As the broken ruler descended, it slashed towards Shen Yuanjun.

Even with the Seven Forbidden Techniques activated, Chen Fei still had complete control over the elemental energy within his body, without the slightest hint of loss of control.

The Profound Heaven Sword at the Great Completion stage could still display all of Chen Fei’s strength.

Shen Yuanjun’s expression became solemn as countless strands of elemental energy transformed into a blade, descending like the Milky Way, with countless strands of elemental energy surrounding Shen Yuanjun, then crashing down like the descent of the heavens.

Over the years, aside from the Minghe Record, Shen Yuanjun had not only imprinted various methods of elemental energy manipulation within himself for Tan Bingxiu’s use, but also passively sensed everything within the mysterious realm using the elemental energy of heaven and earth.

This allowed him to convert various methods of elemental energy manipulation used by the disciples of the Fallen Heaven Pavilion into corresponding martial arts techniques.

Shen Yuanjun’s martial talent, claiming to be the first in the Thousand Feathers Alliance, was by no means an empty boast.

Among the various martial arts techniques of the Fallen Heaven Pavilion, including the Fallen Heaven Technique, Shen Yuanjun could be said to possess the strongest one, and none of Tan Bingxiu and the other two could compare with him.

“Boom!”

As the sword and blade clashed, a wave of energy swept out, causing the entire altar to tremble slightly before instantly shattering. The so-called barriers, in the face of the two individuals’ power, were as fragile as paper.

Chen Fei’s head lifted slightly, the immense force impacting every part of his body. His flesh, which was already at its limit, couldn’t withstand this powerful force.

Countless flesh and blood began to shatter and decay, and in the blink of an eye, Chen Fei became a bloodied figure. With just one glance, all that remained of his body was the faint outline of bones.

The balance was broken, causing Chen Fei’s Seven Forbidden Techniques to become extremely unstable. The raging elemental energy began to spiral out of control, as if it was about to directly explode Chen Fei’s body.

Chen Fei’s current condition was similar to that of Guo Xuanji before, who forcefully activated the Five Forbidden Techniques and couldn’t withstand the backlash, leading to his death from bursting..
