Chapter 992: Star Shatter Slash

Chapter 992: Star Shatter Slash
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The Chen Fei who appeared here was not the real body, nor even a mere clone.

It was a projection extending from the Star Shatter Slash, with its power foundation rooted in rule particles.

Therefore, this projection could change its position with even greater ease than a teleportation.

Teleportation requires tearing through spatial gaps and emerging from another spatial gap, while the projection created by rule particles can freely transform.

As long as the power of Chen Fei’s Star Shatter Slash can sustain it, multiple projections can even be condensed.

At this moment, from five hundred miles away, sixty mid-stage Sun Moon Realm spirit essences flew out of the Concealment Bell, burning up entirely, allowing Chen Fei’s projection on Taiyin Peak to deliver that palm strike.

The Great Completion Realm’s Desolate Slaughter Night Star Sword, combined with the Mastery Realm’s Celestial Suppression, allowed Chen Fei to extend his power to five hundred miles away and deliver a strike surpassing that of an ordinary peak Sun Moon Realm.

The power of such a strike, coupled with Chen Fei’s current understanding of flaws, could probably kill a dozen or twenty mid-stage Sun Moon Realm opponents.

Then, Chen Fei’s real essence would be depleted, and the projection on Taiyin Peak would disappear.

Expending such great power just to kill fewer than twenty mid-stage Sun Moon Realm beings was something Chen Fei naturally would not do.

The true source of the power was the spirit essences Chen Fei had collected.

These spirit essences came from the mid-stage Sun Moon Realm, and their power was highly concentrated. At this moment, consuming sixty at once could only be absorbed by the Star Shatter Slash.

Having swallowed sixty mid-stage Sun Moon Realm spirit essences, the palm strike Chen Fei delivered on Taiyin Peak forcibly stirred a large amount of rule particles, with the power approaching that of an early-stage Rule Integration Realm strike.

The Rule Integration Realm and Sun Moon Realm are completely different realms; the difference between one stage is akin to heaven and earth.

The sky turned pitch black, and a palm spanning dozens of miles covered the entire Taiyin Peak.

The thousands of alien races below looked up at the enormous palm in the sky. After the strike was delivered, they could not escape in time and were forced to activate their primordial force to set up a defensive shield.

A strike covering dozens of miles was nothing for the mid-stage Sun Moon Realm.

However, the other alien races who had escaped Taiyin Peak’s range looked at the giant palm with pale faces.

Such power made it hard to predict the outcome if they had not escaped in time.

After all, facing an attack close to the Rule Integration Realm, the number of Sun Moon Realm beings sometimes did not make a decisive difference.

“Boom!”

The palm spanning dozens of miles collided with the shields formed by thousands of mid-stage Sun Moon Realm beings, sending a wave of impact sweeping through, causing the ground of Taiyin Peak to tremble violently.

It was as if the earth was rolling, with numerous massive cracks appearing on the ground beneath Taiyin Peak, and scorching earth energy bursting into the sky.

One hundred and three alien races trembled and fell backward silently.

The shield did not shatter, forcibly blocking the near-Rule Integration Realm attack.

But the immense rebound force immediately caused the weaker mid-stage Sun Moon Realm beings to die on the spot, and others suffered significant injuries.

The power of this ultimate Star Shatter Slash was so strong that it exceeded Chen Fei’s control, making him unable to directly target the shield’s weak points as he usually would.

At most, he could only slightly focus the power on the shield’s weaker areas.

The one hundred and three mid-stage Sun Moon Realm beings who died were more likely because they were positioned at the nodes of the shield, experiencing a stronger rebound force.

This slightly stronger portion became the final overwhelming force against them.

Sensing the loss of over a hundred of his kin, Feng Tao and others were stunned, unable to believe that Chen Fei could deliver such an attack from several hundred miles away.

This was beyond their understanding of the Sun Moon Realm, as even at the peak of the Sun Moon Realm, no one had been heard of achieving such feats.

Such long-distance attacks could only be manipulated by true Rule Integration Realm experts.

Facing a Rule Integration Realm attack, a Sun Moon Realm being would be instantly slain by a single strike, without even a chance to see the attack coming.

Yet now, they encountered a mid-stage Sun Moon Realm human who could attack them in such a manner.

It wasn’t that they weren’t cautious enough; it was simply inconceivable that Chen Fei could reach such a level of power. It was beyond their wildest imagination.

Compared to this, Teng Li’s two hundred or so mid-stage Sun Moon Realm clones seemed more plausible, at least somewhat understandable.

Chen Fei looked down, slightly withdrawing his hand before pressing it down again.

“Converge!”

Teng Li’s eyes were cold as he looked up at Chen Fei and ordered in a low voice.

Faced with such an attack nearing the Rule Integration Realm level, scattering would lead to little chance of escape. Instead, gathering together could strengthen the shield.

Even if they had to withstand another attack of that magnitude, the number of casualties among their kin would be reduced.

Moreover, Teng Li did not believe that Chen Fei could continue delivering such attacks indefinitely.

As hundreds of mid-stage Sun Moon Realm beings quickly converged, a direct confrontation was out of the question. If Chen Fei suddenly changed his position, the shield’s strength might become insufficient.

Chen Fei looked at the shield, now far stronger than before, and pressed his palm down once more.

Five hundred miles away, the remaining spirit essences in the Concealment Bell burned out completely.

Lu Shuzhang and Kuang Xingfeng observed Chen Fei and then looked towards Taiyin Peak.

Even from five hundred miles away, the commotion from Taiyin Peak had reached them.

The power fluctuations were terrifying, and such an attack came from Chen Fei.

Chen Fei had indeed delivered his attack to Taiyin Peak from five hundred miles away, and the intensity was astonishing.

How did he achieve this?

Lu Shuzhang, who had followed Chen Fei through trials and battles, thought he had a deep understanding of Chen Fei’s combat prowess.

Now, Lu Shuzhang realized that he had never truly grasped Chen Fei’s limits.

Judging from the fluctuations coming from Taiyin Peak, the previous strike was extremely close to the early stage of the Rule Integration Realm.

As a direct descendant of the Qiankun Mansion, Lu Shuzhang had encountered many Rule Integration Realm experts and had a clear understanding of their attacking power.

How could Chen Fei, at the mid-stage Sun Moon Realm, accomplish such a feat?

Even burning so many mid-stage Sun Moon Realm spirit essences, no peak Sun Moon Realm being could achieve this.

Lu Shuzhang was certain of this, as he had seen more of what peak Sun Moon Realm was capable of.

At this moment, Kuang Xingfeng was left speechless.

After the defeat of the Qiankun Mansion, Kuang Xingfeng felt he was not as good as Chen Fei but at least could see the distance.

In the Bamboo Valley, Kuang Xingfeng knew the gap was even larger, but Chen Fei was still within the Sun Moon Realm range.

But now, what was happening?

Another enormous palm, spanning dozens of miles, descended from the sky.

Hundreds of the Evil Clan and Ice Clan gathered their strength, trying to forcibly block the palm.

This palm was clearly weaker than the previous one, indicating that Chen Fei was showing signs of fatigue. It was impossible for him to continuously deliver such attacks.

This was somewhat normal; otherwise, they would have thought that Chen Fei was a Rule Integration Realm expert who had artificially lowered his realm by dispersing his control over the rules.

“Boom!”

Unlike the previous explosion, the hundreds of Evil and Ice Clans only felt a slight tremor in the shield above. The attack’s intensity was minimal, barely noticeable.

So, that seemingly majestic palm strike was actually a ruse?

“Not good, scatter quickly!”

Feng Tao turned to look in the direction of Taiyin Peak, his face paling as he frantically flew away.

Teng Li had already noticed the anomaly and led over two hundred clones toward the outside of Taiyin Peak.

But it seemed to be too late. A massive suction force erupted from within Taiyin Peak, as if an ancient giant beast had awoken from its slumber and opened its enormous mouth.

Chen Fei’s second palm strike was aimed directly at Taiyin Peak.

With an attack power nearing the Rule Integration Realm, Chen Fei forcibly triggered an eruption from the dangerous realm within Taiyin Peak.

The danger level of this realm within Taiyin Peak was extremely high.

However, Taiyin Peak had a characteristic: as long as one was not too close, it appeared harmless.

This was also a feature of several dangerous realms in the Glass Space, much like the Spirit Concealing Lake and the Mountain God Temple at the Suspended Peak Mountain.

This was why over a thousand mid-stage Sun Moon Realm beings dared to gather dozens of miles away from Taiyin Peak.

But with Chen Fei’s recent strike, Taiyin Peak was directly torn apart. The twisted rule power within erupted, instantly breaking through its previous limits.

This eruption would leave Taiyin Peak’s power greatly diminished, akin to a part of its undying traits being forcefully shattered by Chen Fei.

But that was a matter for later. At this moment, the power displayed by Taiyin Peak showed all the alien races what twisted rules truly meant.

Chen Fei’s projection calmly observed the scene below before slowly dissipating.

In an instant, over five hundred mid-stage Sun Moon Realm beings were dragged into Taiyin Peak by the twisted rules.

Whether they would survive was uncertain, but those who could walk out unharmed would be extremely few.

The remaining three hundred or so mid-stage Sun Moon Realm beings were all injured. After all, compared to twisted rules, the rule particles in the Sun Moon Realm’s divine powers were severely disadvantaged.

Teng Li’s face had twisted with anguish. From the initial two hundred plus clones, only fewer than seventy remained.

As for the original hundred or so mid-stage Sun Moon Realm beings from the Forest, Water, and Hill tribes, only a dozen or so remained, and they were now frantically fleeing.

The Evil and Ice Clans still had around three hundred mid-stage Sun Moon Realm beings, but no one knew what further power Chen Fei might unleash against them.

They were thoroughly terrified and decided to run first.

If they couldn’t fight, they could at least hide!

“Withdraw!”

Teng Li glanced at the panicked kin and Ice Clan members, threw out a command, and also began to retreat from Taiyin Peak.

Five hundred miles away, Chen Fei opened his eyes, extended his right hand forward to draw the Qianyuan Sword, and began to move swiftly toward Taiyin Peak.
