Chapter 993: Mountain-Shaking Formation

Chapter 993: Mountain-Shaking Formation
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“Chen Fei, take me with you!” Kuang Xingfeng called out when he saw Chen Fei’s movements.

Kuang Xingfeng could certainly fly over himself, but compared to Chen Fei’s speed, he found his own movements rather slow.

“I might be able to help,” Lu Shuzhang quickly added.

“Alright!”

Chen Fei responded, swinging his left hand to pull Kuang Xingfeng and Lu Shuzhang to his side. In the next moment, the space ahead rippled, and Chen Fei stepped into it with the two of them.

Teleportation!

The distance of five hundred miles was not too long. With Chen Fei’s current speed, he would reach there in no time.

However, the Evil Clan members would not wait in place. Injured and frightened by Chen Fei’s previous attacks, they were desperately fleeing.

At this moment, Chen Fei certainly would not let these outsiders escape.

Kuang Xingfeng watched with curiosity as the space shifted. Space teleportation was an extremely rare talent among the human race, and Chen Fei possessed it as well.

Although in the Return to Nothing Realm, due to the dense space, teleportation couldn’t cover much distance, it was still a lifesaver in critical moments.

Lu Shuzhang had known about Chen Fei’s teleportation ability for a while. Chen Fei had used it once before when killing the Hill Clan members in the Bamboo Valley.

However, at that time, Kuang Xingfeng was within the valley and did not perceive it clearly.

In the Glass Space, the spatial rifts were quite apparent. Chen Fei teleported six times in a row and arrived at the location of Taiyin Peak.

At this moment, Taiyin Peak had calmed down, and it was impossible to tell from its appearance that it had recently been the site of twisted rule eruptions. Several dozen miles away, an alliance of more than three hundred Evil and Ice clan members were heading towards Suspended Peak Mountain.

Previously, Suspended Peak Mountain had almost been occupied by the Evil Clan while Teng Li was attacking the Mountain God Temple.

Now, there were still several hundred Evil Clan members at Suspended Peak Mountain.

Once there, they planned to regroup with the remaining Evil Clan members to have a better chance of confronting Chen Fei.

However, just thinking about Chen Fei’s previous two attacks made the Evil and Ice clan members feel uneasy.

Normally, such attacks, given a mid-stage Sun Moon Realm cultivation, could not be sustained repeatedly.

But Chen Fei was clearly not bound by normal reasoning, as those two attacks should not have appeared according to conventional logic.

Yet, after those two attacks, of the over a thousand mid-stage Sun Moon Realm members, only about three hundred remained, while more than five hundred of their kin were trapped in Taiyin Peak, their fates unknown.

Thus, trying to predict Chen Fei’s actions with conventional logic felt like pushing oneself into a fire pit.

Teng Li, charging ahead, suddenly looked back and saw three humans standing in mid-air.

Teng Li’s cold gaze wavered as he fixed a menacing stare on Chen Fei among them.

The remaining three hundred or so Evil and Ice clan members, realizing Chen Fei and his companions’ presence, turned around to look.

Some mid-stage Sun Moon Realm Evil and Ice clan members, their gazes wavering, were now filled with a strong sense of retreat.

“Spread out!”

Teng Li shouted sternly, distancing himself from the others and dispersing his remaining seventy or so avatars.

The power of that near-Rule Integration Realm strike, when a thousand mid-stage Sun Moon Realm members combined their efforts, had still forced the deaths of over a hundred.

With only about three hundred mid-stage Sun Moon Realm members left, their protective shield could not possibly withstand such an attack.

By spreading out, they hoped to avoid being wiped out all at once.

Teng Li didn’t believe that Chen Fei could unleash such an attack again.

Otherwise, Chen Fei wouldn’t have needed to appear in person.

But Teng Li couldn’t afford to take any chances. If he was wrong, all three hundred mid-stage Sun Moon Realm members, including himself, would die here.

Chen Fei smiled faintly, his aura starting to boil and rise at an astonishing speed.

Soul Dissolution at seventy percent, full Divine Dissolution!

Since the Great Completion of the Desolate Slaughter Night Star Sword, Chen Fei had not needed to collapse his soul and divine powers because his current base strength was enough to deal with an ordinary mid-stage Sun Moon Realm individual in a single strike.

However, facing over three hundred alien races, despite their injuries, there were still too many factors affecting the battle.

Enhancing his base strength would allow Chen Fei to handle the situation more easily.

Sensing Chen Fei’s overwhelming and turbulent aura, which should not be seen in a mid-stage Sun Moon Realm cultivator, the Evil and Ice clan members’ faces turned extremely serious.

The good news was that although Chen Fei’s aura was extremely violent, it was still at the peak of the Sun Moon Realm level, far from the Rule Integration Realm level he had displayed earlier.

The bad news was that this peak Sun Moon Realm level aura didn’t trigger any backlash from the Glass Space, clearly still within the mid-stage Sun Moon Realm scope.

Where did this freak come from!

Moreover, the Glass Space’s restrictions apparently only affected ordinary mid-stage Sun Moon Realm members, and didn’t affect such a monstrous talent at all.

Chen Fei stepped forward, appearing directly in front of the nearest dozen or so Evil Clan members.

These members, being the most heavily injured, had been the slowest to escape.

While fleeing, it was impossible to form any substantial formation, as formations generally needed to be fixed in one place to exert their maximum power.

Attempting to form a formation while running only resulted in slower speed and wasted internal energy.

There were formations designed specifically for fleeing, but these were more about connecting energy to increase speed rather than aiding in attack or defense.

Heavily injured members would inevitably fall behind.

From the moment Chen Fei appeared until these alien races scattered and attempted to form a decent attack and defense formation, there was no time to complete it.

Thus, the dozen or so heavily injured Evil Clan members in front of Chen Fei felt an overwhelming sense of despair upon seeing him.

Despite the presence of several hundred mid-stage Sun Moon Realm members nearby, at this moment, they felt isolated from the world.

The more distant three hundred or so Evil and Ice clan members, seeing Chen Fei approach, instinctively launched their attacks.

As for the dozen or so Evil Clan members in front of Chen Fei, despite their despair, they began to activate forbidden techniques, burning their essence, energy, and soul.

Forbidden techniques, a last-resort move found in nearly all Sun Moon Realm cultivation methods, differed only in their intricacy and the final power they could unleash.

The dozen or so heavily injured Evil Clan members, even when using forbidden techniques, could only muster slightly more power than usual.

Chen Fei’s gaze shifted, and the entire world seemed to pause.

Hundreds of incoming attacks from afar interwove and consumed each other in mid-air, but at the same time, they formed a subtle net that covered the space around Chen Fei, leaving him no room to evade.

These interwoven attacks had many deep black spots—gaps that Chen Fei had identified.

It would take a bit more time for these attacks to reach Chen Fei, and this brief moment was enough for him to take action.

In the distance, Kuang Xingfeng did not follow Chen Fei into the fray.

If Kuang Xingfeng had charged forward, it would not have been helpful but rather a hindrance to Chen Fei.

Understanding this, Kuang Xingfeng simply tapped his forehead with his right hand, casting a small illusion on the dozen or so Evil Clan members in front of Chen Fei.

The illusion from the Heavenly Illusion Time Severing Technique, involving a touch of temporal rules, could instantly affect its target upon activation.

In essence, it was somewhat similar to Chen Fei’s previous Star Shatter Slash, which used resonance between rule particles to deliver an attack even from a great distance.

The eyes of the dozen or so Evil Clan members showed a hint of confusion, but this confusion was quickly shattered by the violent forces within them.

Yet, this brief delay was fatal in the current battle.

With Chen Fei’s full combat power, killing the dozen or so Evil Clan members was not particularly challenging.

The addition of Kuang Xingfeng’s illusion did not change the outcome but made the process easier.

“Clang!”

A clear, ethereal sword sound echoed through the surroundings. The bodies of the thirteen Evil Clan members stiffened, and a fine crack appeared on their foreheads as their vitality extinguished instantly.

Chen Fei’s figure flickered and he instantly moved out of the area. At the same time, the essence of the thirteen Evil Clan members followed Chen Fei’s figure and was transported several miles away.

“Boom!”

Hundreds of mixed attacks collided in mid-air, producing a thunderous explosion.

Kuang Xingfeng’s face turned slightly pale in the distance. The forced disruption of the illusion on the thirteen Evil Clan members resulted in a backlash against him.

However, Kuang Xingfeng’s intention was merely to slightly confuse the thirteen Evil Clan members, so the illusion was minor. Even though it was broken, the backlash Kuang Xingfeng experienced was not severe.

Lu Shuzhang, holding the Night God Blade, stood by, ready to defend against any incoming attacks.

Kuang Xingfeng and Lu Shuzhang had previously discussed that, given the number of alien races, they lacked the capability to charge into the fray.

Kuang Xingfeng could provide some remote interference with illusions, while Lu Shuzhang could protect against potential attacks.

Lu Shuzhang’s technique was most effective in close combat. Although he could perform long-range attacks, their effectiveness was minimal against such numerous mid-stage Sun Moon Realm opponents.

Thus, it was better for Kuang Xingfeng to continue his illusionary interference, while Lu Shuzhang focused on defense.

“Mountain-Shaking Formation!” Teng Li murmured.

The deaths of the dozen or so clan members did not perturb Teng Li. In fact, their deaths only confirmed to him that Chen Fei no longer possessed attacks near the Rule Integration Realm level.

Without such power, although Chen Fei remained terrifying, Teng Li and his seventy-six avatars, along with their three hundred and twenty-seven mid-stage Sun Moon Realm members, still had a chance.

As long as they remained steady and did not let Chen Fei’s presence cause panic, victory was still within their grasp!

“Hum!”

At Teng Li’s command, the other mid-stage Sun Moon Realm members understood his intent. Hundreds of units of energy interlinked, and a formation began to take shape, with immense power rising.
