Chapter 994: Cloud Flipping

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The formation was undoubtedly one of the most effective ways to combine various powers.

The Mountain-Shaking Formation was widely known in the Return to Nothing Realm and had no specific requirements for Elemental Energy attributes, allowing even different races to unite.

Moreover, the Mountain-Shaking Formation balanced both offense and defense, and could be assembled quickly, requiring at least three practitioners at the Sun Moon Realm to form the formation.

In the distance, Kuang Xingfeng couldn’t help but lower his hand from his forehead.

Against such a formation, the Illusion Realm of the Heavenly Illusion Time Severing Technique was ineffective. If Kuang Xingfeng dared to use illusions, his soul would be directly counterattacked and shattered in a single encounter.

Kuang Xingfeng and Lu Shuzhang looked at Chen Fei, unsure how he would break the formation.

Hundreds of miles away, the alien races who had fled earlier had now stopped and were sensing the battle erupting at the Taiyin Peak.

Chen Fei’s two palm strikes had almost wiped out hundreds of mid-stage Sun Moon Realm practitioners, frightening all the alien races present earlier.

However, with the Evil Clan and Ice Clan daring to form the Mountain-Shaking Formation, it seemed the situation had changed.

Chen Fei observed the towering momentum ahead and could clearly see the formation’s flaws.

But seeing the flaws didn’t mean he could shatter the Mountain-Shaking Formation.

The formation composed of over three hundred mid-stage Sun Moon Realm practitioners was vastly different from one formed by dozens of such practitioners.

With the power Chen Fei displayed, a direct clash with the Mountain-Shaking Formation would inevitably put him at a disadvantage.

However, Chen Fei had anticipated this situation when he pursued here and had already planned to make the first move, which was why he had slain several Evil Clan members earlier.

Chen Fei thrust his Qianyuan Sword into a spatial rift ahead and extended his right hand forward, grasping a cluster of rule particles in his hand.

This was the preparatory action for the Star Shatter Slash.

But this time, Chen Fei did not need to attack from five hundred miles away; instead, he directly used the Elemental Energy of the Star Shatter Slash to manipulate a large amount of rule particles and unleash the ultimate power.

Normally, the preparation time for the Star Shatter Slash was too long for such near-face combat.

Yet, after using it once before, Chen Fei discovered he could do so.

Due to his soul and divine releases, Chen Fei had an exceptionally strong base power. Additionally, relying on his mastery of the Celestial Suppression, he forcibly omitted some steps of the Star Shatter Slash.

Perhaps only someone like Chen Fei, with such conditions, could use such a flawed technique as a regular method.

Seeing the seven-colored light erupting from Chen Fei’s palm, the Evil and Ice clan members, with their over three hundred mid-stage Sun Moon Realm practitioners, felt a sudden unease.

This feeling was familiar because, just a moment ago, when Chen Fei’s two palm strikes landed, their souls had felt exactly the same.

This human race practitioner could unleash an attack of the Rule Integration Realm level again?

Teng Li’s expression changed abruptly. Had he misjudged the situation?

What was going on with this human? How could such intense attacks be executed repeatedly?

Moreover, if the opponent could continue to use such attacks, after unleashing two palm strikes, if Chen Fei had directly followed with a third strike, all their remaining Sun Moon Realm practitioners would have been wiped out.

Yet, the projection disappeared right after delivering the two palm strikes.

“Mountain-Shaking!”

Teng Li roared furiously, mobilizing the power of the entire formation. A beam of light shot up into the sky, directly crashing towards Chen Fei.

The beam’s momentum was overwhelming. Any practitioner at the late Sun Moon Realm who dared to block it would be instantly obliterated.

Even a peak Sun Moon Realm practitioner would only have the option to dodge; attempting to endure it would be disastrous.

Teng Li could have chosen to defend, which would have been more prudent, but he opted for an offensive approach.

Attack was the best defense!

Chen Fei observed the surging beam of light, and a terrifying force bound him from all directions—that was the power of the Mountain-Shaking Formation.

Chen Fei smiled faintly. The alien races were too unfamiliar with the Star Shatter Slash. Although he hadn’t practiced the Mountain-Shaking Formation, he understood its characteristics well.

In the next moment, Chen Fei vanished from his original spot, reappearing three miles away.

With the Star Shatter Slash in effect, the rule particles were clearly visible. Given the situation in the Glass Space, Chen Fei’s displacement was not only effortless but also not particularly difficult.

A major challenge of the Star Shatter Slash was enduring the terrifying recoil force of the rule particles once the technique was executed.

If one could not withstand it, they would be the first to perish.

With Chen Fei’s current physique and the Celestial Suppression, he could endure the recoil force for a short time without harm.

Thus, Chen Fei still had some power left to perform the displacement.

The thirteen strands of spiritual essence he had just gathered burned up in Chen Fei’s hand. Compared to the dozens he had burned earlier, thirteen was indeed a small number.

However, Chen Fei did not need to perform a long-range attack from five hundred miles away at the moment, so he did not need to expend energy on the resonance of the rule particles.

What Chen Fei needed to do was use the power of the thirteen strands of spiritual essence to manipulate as many rule particles as possible.

“Hum!”

Chen Fei pressed forward with his right hand, and once again, a colossal hand appeared, pressing down upon the Evil and Ice clans.

Compared to the previous two palm strikes, this one was slightly weaker, but the number of mid-stage Sun Moon Realm practitioners from the Evil and Ice clans had also significantly decreased.

Furthermore, with the reduced power of this strike, Chen Fei found it easier to control, allowing him to direct it towards the weak points of the Mountain-Shaking Formation.

“Suppress!”

Teng Li’s expression darkened, and the other Evil and Ice clan members looked equally troubled.

It turned out that this human’s attack relied on the spiritual essence of other Sun Moon Realm practitioners. No wonder he had forced his way in earlier to kill thirteen heavily wounded Evil Clan members.

Had they known this sooner, they wouldn’t have been caught so off guard.

There were no “what ifs” in this situation, and ultimately, it was Chen Fei’s overwhelming strength that caused them to be so hindered.

“Boom!”

The colossal hand collided forcefully with the Mountain-Shaking Formation. It was as if the giant hand was squeezing an overturned porcelain bowl. As the hand tightened, the formation’s protective shield emitted a loud explosion.

“Poof!”

More than fifty mid-stage Sun Moon Realm practitioners, who were already severely injured, spewed blood mist and then lost their breath, their bodies collapsing backward.

The colossal hand released its grip on the Mountain-Shaking Formation, its palm stretching backward as over fifty strands of spiritual essence flew out from the formation, aiming to enter the palm’s center.

The remaining two hundred mid-stage Sun Moon Realm practitioners watched in horror. If Chen Fei got hold of those fifty strands of spiritual essence, would they still have a chance to survive?

With the power of burning dozens of strands of spiritual essence, such an attack had already been formidable. If fifty strands were burned, it was likely that their two hundred Sun Moon Realm practitioners would be turned to dust by a single strike.

Teng Li watched the spiritual essence, realizing it was too late to intercept it with the formation. The Mountain-Shaking Formation had just been compressed by the colossal hand.

The hand’s pressing, squeezing, and retracting almost toyed with the Mountain-Shaking Formation, controlling its every move. Thus, the formation was now in a severely contracted defensive state.

Attempting to unleash enough power to intercept over fifty strands of spiritual essence from such a state was clearly beyond their capability.

“Break!”

Teng Li commanded two of his avatars to self-destruct violently, forcibly shattering the spiritual essence in mid-air.

Chen Fei, standing at a distance, remained expressionless as he watched the scene, forming a seal with one hand.

The colossal hand mimicked Chen Fei’s actions, and as the hand formed the seal, the previously shattered and disappeared spiritual essence suddenly reappeared, floating out from the void and gathering in front of the hand.

Spiritual essence, in essence, was a more concentrated form of primordial energy, and Sun Moon Realm spiritual essence even contained rule particles.

If the spiritual essence below the Sun Moon Realm was struck by such force, it would truly be gone, directly merging into the surrounding primordial energy and vanishing.

However, because the Sun Moon Realm spiritual essence contained rule particles, there was a period of stasis after being dispersed.

This stasis period was a characteristic of rule particles forcibly binding the surrounding primordial energy.

Chen Fei, holding a cluster of rule particles in his palm, was highly sensitive to this.

Ultimately, fewer than ten strands of the original fifty or so gathered in front of the colossal hand.

Although some were lost, it was still sufficient for Chen Fei.

The spiritual essence ignited instantly, and the previously somewhat blurred colossal hand regained its clarity.

The hand then dispersed its previous seal and, with terrifying power, struck the Mountain-Shaking Formation once more.

The two hundred or so Evil and Ice clan members watched helplessly as the spiritual essence was drawn out, dissipated, and then recondensed.

This process happened in an instant, and apart from watching, they could do nothing else.

As the colossal hand came crashing down again, the terror of being utterly crushed finally exploded in their hearts.

What kind of monster were they facing, and how could it continuously unleash such power, far beyond the peak of the Sun Moon Realm?

This human’s application of rules was far beyond what a Sun Moon Realm should possess. It was as if they were facing a true Rule Integration Realm expert.

All resistance had turned into a joke.

Even the numerical advantage only allowed them to delay their death for a moment longer!

“Suppress!”

Teng Li’s eyes were filled with ruthless determination. He had not given up because Teng Li was not ready to die.

The Glass Space was supposed to be his chance to rule the world; how could it have devolved into this?

Teng Li was unwilling to accept this fate and would not surrender!

Teng Li’s more than thirty avatars instantly burned out, concentrating all their power into the Mountain-Shaking Formation.

The formation’s momentum suddenly surged, and the remaining two hundred or so mid-stage Sun Moon Realm practitioners had no choice but to burn themselves to follow this force.

A blindingly intense light erupted from the Mountain-Shaking Formation, colliding with the colossal hand.

“Boom!”

The space of the Glass Space trembled violently, with many black spatial rifts appearing.

Within the Mountain-Shaking Formation, more than a hundred mid-stage Sun Moon Realm practitioners turned to ashes as they burned themselves out. The remaining few Ice and Evil Clan members were all severely injured.

“Crack!”

The Mountain-Shaking Formation shattered, and thirty streams of light gathered together, carrying the remaining power of the formation. They transformed into a streak of light and disappeared from the scene.

The remaining heavily injured Ice and Evil Clan members stared in disbelief at the scene before them.

They had been abandoned by Teng Li!
