Chapter 860: Beaten Up

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“No wonder you dared to challenge me on stage. Indeed, you’ve got some skill, but if this is all you’ve got, then you’re still…”

Before Zhan Xidong could finish his sentence, he suddenly felt a tremendous force sweeping up the Lock Dragon Sword.

Instinctively, Zhan Xidong tried to grab hold of the Lock Dragon Sword, but found himself unable to withstand the immense force emanating from the sword.

Chen Fei flipped the Concealment Sword, instantly pushing aside the Lock Dragon Sword. The Concealment Sword transformed into a residual shadow, slashing straight towards Zhan Xidong.

The Qingyan Sacred Land’s foundational martial arts emphasized physical strength. Zhan Xidong had also cultivated his martial arts to a considerable level, but that alone couldn’t withstand Chen Fei’s prowess.

Even without using the Seven Star Illumination Technique or the Sword Dominates the Galaxy, an ordinary mid-level Fourth Rank opponent wouldn’t stand a chance against Chen Fei. Even if the opponent was a disciple of the Sacred Land, it made no difference.

The perfected Purple Sky Stellar Technique, the Great Completion level Suppressing Dragon Elephant, and various innate talents—how could they be easily matched?

“Boom!”

Zhan Xidong was sent flying backwards, crashing onto the arena stage. The entire ground trembled slightly upon impact.

Everyone watching the stage was stunned, their eyes filled with astonishment as they looked at Chen Fei in mid-air and then at Zhan Xidong below, confirming that they were not mistaken.

Some people who were paying attention to other arenas couldn’t help but turn their heads upon hearing the commotion, catching sight of Zhan Xidong struggling to stand from the ground.

Within the Qingyan Sacred Land, there was a slight disturbance. After all, Zhan Xidong was hailed as the quasi-Sacred One of Qingyan Sacred Land, representing its prestige.

Yet now, he had been knocked to the ground and seemed seriously injured.

“Pui!”

Zhan Xidong spat out a mouthful of blood, lifting his head to gaze squint-eyed at Chen Fei in the air.

Previously, Zhan Xidong had never heard of Chen Fei, but then again, he wouldn’t actively inquire about martial artists outside the Sacred Land.

However, if someone had extraordinary talent, rumors would have spread.

Just now, when Chen Fei defeated Ren Bairin in the first round, Zhan Xidong caught a glimpse of his agility.

He had thought agility was Chen Fei’s strong suit, but now, his strength was terrifying enough to overpower him.

“The Stellar Divine Technique?”

Zhuo Xiansheng, the master of the Qingyan Sacred Land, turned to look at Zhan Xiuming. In Chen Fei, he saw traces of the Stellar Divine Technique.

“He has exchanged for half of the Stellar Divine Technique and learned it quite well,” Zhan Xiuming said with a slight smile on his face.

Even though both were in the mid-level Fourth Rank of the Mountain Sea Realm, Chen Fei had only learned half of the Stellar Divine Technique and yet managed to overpower Zhan Xidong. From another perspective, does this not suggest that the Stellar Divine Technique holds a superior advantage?

Upon hearing Zhan Xiuming’s words, Zhuo Xiansheng couldn’t help but smile wryly, shaking his head slightly, and continued to watch the arena.

The match was far from over.

“You’re strong! But I won’t hesitate to beat you to death!”

A fierce expression crossed Zhan Xidong’s face. His entire body slightly sank, and a wave of energy surged from him.

A ray of light flashed across Zhan Xidong’s body, and within him, the Divine Palace trembled slightly. A phantom of a mountain appeared above the Divine Palace.

Innate talent!

Zhan Xidong’s six Divine Palaces condensed three Innate talents, and he had mastered the Qingyan Sacred Land’s foundational martial arts to an extremely profound level, known as the Sky Break Technique.

Thus, he directly fused these three Innate talents into a combined technique.

With the emergence of this fusion technique, Zhan Xidong’s momentum soared like a blazing fire.

The formations within his six Divine Palaces condensed even tighter, giving off a sense of unity akin to a late-stage Mountain Sea Realm practitioner, where all six Divine Palaces merged into one.

To some extent, aside from lacking one Divine Palace, Zhan Xidong’s abilities are not far off from those of a late-stage practitioner in the Mountain Sea Realm.

Watching Zhan Xidong’s transformation, Chen Fei’s expression shifted slightly.

It’s true that the foundational martial arts of each Sacred Land lean towards different strengths.

The Stellar Divine Technique of the Stellar Sacred Land is renowned for its explosive power, directly manifesting three additional Divine Palace phantoms with the Nine Star Chain. However, when it comes to linking these phantoms together within six Divine Palaces, it falls short compared to the Qingyan Sacred Land’s Sky Break Technique.

In other words, mastering the Sky Break Technique deeply enough might allow one to connect their Divine Palaces without needing to reach the peak of the Mountain Sea Realm.

As for Zhan Xidong displaying his Innate talent fusion technique, Chen Fei wasn’t particularly surprised.

Zhan Xidong was hailed as the quasi-Sacred One for a reason; without genuine talent, he wouldn’t earn such a title.

The bursting energy of heaven and earth enveloped Zhan Xidong as he looked up at Chen Fei, a cold gleam flashing in his eyes.

Then, with a stomp of his right foot, a sonic boom cloud appeared, and Zhan Xidong disappeared from his original position.

At this moment, everyone around the central hall was focused on this mid­level Fourth Rank arena.

The ability of Innate talent fusion techniques has recently become widely known among practitioners in the Mountain Sea Realm, mainly due to major Sacred Lands opening exchanges for top-tier techniques.

In the previous four arenas, specifically in the peak Fourth Rank, someone displayed their Innate talent fusion technique.

Even on the arena for the late-stage Fourth Rank, no one deliberately used it.

Typically, practitioners in the late stages of the Mountain Sea Realm lack sufficient Innate talents, thus they don’t possess Innate talent techniques. For disciples of Sacred Lands, their ordinary state is usually enough to defeat others, so they naturally don’t need to resort to such techniques.

Now unexpectedly, in the mid-level Fourth Rank arena, someone has employed it.

And not just anyone, but a disciple of a Sacred Land, forced into using it.

“Tsk tsk, Brother Chen Fei forcing out Zhan Xidong’s Innate talent technique is quite an achievement,” Fei Jiaxing marveled.

In the mid-level of the Mountain Sea Realm, having three Innate talents is remarkable; most practitioners in the late stages don’t have this many.

On the arena, a faint glow flickered on Chen Fei’s brow, while the ethereal figure of Zhan Xidong seemed to slow down.

The energy of heaven and earth around them adhered to Zhan Xidong’s body, resonating with the Sky Break Technique within him, instantly transforming into power that Zhan Xidong could harness.

Moreover, the range of this resonance continued to expand outward, and the power available to Zhan Xidong was rapidly increasing.

Without needing to absorb it specifically into his body, Zhan Xidong could resonate and utilize the energy of heaven and earth, greatly enhancing his efficiency.

The inexhaustible energy of heaven and earth, to some extent, also represented Zhan Xidong’s boundless strength at this moment, as long as his soul could sustain it.

A smile appeared on Chen Fei’s face as seven starlights flashed across his body. His aura suddenly soared, breaking through the surrounding momentum that enveloped Zhan Xidong.

“Hum!”

In the sky, thunder and lightning unexpectedly roared. In the next moment, a thunderbolt descended from the heavens, directly striking the Concealment Sword.

The Concealment Sword transformed into a thunderous form, slashing towards Zhan Xidong.

“Boom!”

The Concealment Sword clashed with the Lock Dragon Sword, forming a massive purple light ball that enveloped both Chen Fei and Zhan Xidong.

Electric flashes shimmered on the light ball, containing not only the power of heavenly thunder but also the destructive force inherent in the Sky Break Technique.

“The Purple Sky Thunder Technique? Wasn’t the foundational martial art of the Purple Sky Sect lost and in ruins?” Su Wenyu exclaimed from mid-air, surprised.

“The Seven Star Illumination Technique! Half of the Stellar Divine Technique, combined with parts of the Purple Sky Thunder Technique, forming what this young friend has learned. Impressive, truly impressive!”

Meng Guangning, the Sacred Master of the Qingluan Sacred Land, gazed intensely at Chen Fei. Combining two incomplete techniques into what now appeared quite complete and profound was incredibly impressive, almost miraculous.

“The Divine Blessing Dream Entry Technique, he has cultivated the famous technique of Dream Shadow Master,” Zhan Xiuming chuckled.

“Oh? The Divine Blessing Dream Entry Technique, that explains a lot,” Meng Guangning nodded with realization.

Then he suddenly remarked, “This young friend is going to win.”

“Indeed, his skill is unmatched!” Zhuo Xiansheng, the Sacred Master of the Qingyan Sacred Land, nodded in agreement.

As Zhuo Xiansheng spoke, Zhan Xidong, who had been in a stalemate on the arena, suddenly paled. A mist of blood sprayed from his mouth, and he was instantly sent flying backward, crashing once again onto the ground.

The spherical aura in mid-air burst suddenly, causing the surrounding energy of heaven and earth to tremble wildly.

Chen Fei observed the ground, his form transforming into purple light, and in an instant, he appeared before Zhan Xidong. Thunder roared again, and another thunderbolt descended from the sky, this time directly targeting Zhan Xidong.

“Ah!”

Zhan Xidong roared madly, his face contorted in fury. The Divine Palaces within him burst forth with intense radiance, as if they were on the verge of exploding at any moment.

Rather than lose completely, Zhan Xidong would prefer to fight to the bitter end against this unknown mid-level practitioner of the Mountain Sea Realm!

Chen Fei’s brow furrowed slightly, but the Concealment Sword moved without hesitation. Seven stars shimmered on its surface, and above the sky, six successive thunderbolts crashed down, striking Zhan Xidong.

Zhan Xidong’s enraged roar abruptly ceased.

Swinging the Concealment Sword, Chen Fei swept Zhan Xidong’s body off the arena, leaving him severely injured and unconscious.

With just a simple display of the Seven Star Illumination Technique and the added power of two additional Divine Palaces, Chen Fei easily dominated Zhan Xidong.

In terms of Innate talent quantity, mastery of techniques, and physique, Zhan Xidong couldn’t match Chen Fei in any aspect.

If it had been a fight to the death, Zhan Xidong would have perished with the first sword strike.

The people from the Qingyan Sacred Land caught Zhan Xidong, glanced at Chen Fei, but said nothing.

The representatives from the remaining six Sacred Lands were all now focused on the arena where Chen Fei stood.

Today marked the first defeat of a disciple from a Sacred Land, and notably, Zhan Xidong was in the mid-level Fourth Rank. Few from the other six Sacred Lands could confidently claim they would have beaten Zhan Xidong.

Where did this person come from?

“It seems organizing such a selection was indeed the right choice. The Boundless Sea is vast, and not all geniuses can be found within the Sacred Lands,” Su Wenyu remarked with a smile on his face.

The stronger the individuals selected, the greater the chances of victory in the Tripartite Deathmatch, concerning the fate of the entire plane.

The outcomes of Sacred Land disciples’ wins or losses are trivial in comparison.

The others in the Sun Moon Realm nodded in agreement, including Zhuo Xiansheng, the Sacred Master of the Qingyan Sacred Land.

For Zhan Xidong, who lacked skill, being defeated now was preferable to being killed by the alien races in the Tripartite Deathmatch.

Chen Fei left the arena and rejoined Zhao Ruizheng and the others.

Zhao Ruizheng and his companions wore smiles, while those around looked at Chen Fei with a hint of awe in their eyes.

“Brother Chen, you’ve been hiding your strength!” Fei Jiaxing stood nearby, his eyes squinting into slits with laughter.

In the small city of Qianyan, to think they harbored such a true dragon—it’s truly beyond expectation.

With the match between Chen Fei and Zhan Xidong concluded, the Sacred Land disciples and the Divine Monster Bloodline began to take the stage one after another.

Half an hour later, the second round of matches had all come to an end.

On the arena for the mid-level Fourth Rank, thirty-two practitioners from the Mountain Sea Realm and twenty-two Divine Monster Bloodline King advanced to the third round.

Among the Sacred Land disciples, there were twenty-seven participants, with only five not belonging to any Sacred Land. Among the Divine Monster Bloodline King, a staggering twenty possessed the bloodline of divine beasts.

The intensity of the third round of matches was expected to rise sharply.

Many Sacred Land disciples glanced occasionally towards Chen Fei.

The Sacred Masters of the Day and Moon Realm could view the situation from a higher perspective. Losing to other Sacred Land disciples or Divine Monster Bloodline King would be acceptable for them in terms of face.

Losing to someone like Chen Fei, however, was unacceptable!
