Chapter 1170: Chapter 1126: Intimidating the Black Stone Domain

Being called an Open Heaven Realm by a cultivator at the Peak of Rule Integration Realm right to his face was the greatest mockery to Lv Ji.

Back when Lv Ji was in the Rule Integration Realm, he had actually condensed the four secondary Rules of Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind. At that step, just a little further, and he could have broken through to the Open Heaven Realm.

But breaking through to the Open Heaven Realm wasn’t guaranteed just because one had condensed the secondary Rules of Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind.

Just like Yu Wuheng in the late stages of the Rule Integration Realm, who was only a whisker away from the Peak of Rule Integration Realm, but that very whisker was enough to block countless late-stage Rule Integration Realm cultivators.

The barrier to the Open Heaven Realm was even more difficult compared to breaking through from the late stages of the Rule Integration Realm to its Peak, or rather, the two were hardly comparable.

...

Lv Ji wanted to rely on his own strength to break through to the Open Heaven Realm, become the strongest in the Black Stone Domain, and lead the Evil Clans to press down on the entire Black Stone Domain.

But Lv Ji failed. His forced attempt to break through to the Open Heaven Realm damaged his very origin instead.

After wasting years, Lv Ji tried to breakthrough again, only to fail once more, and the injury was even more severe.

After this time, Lv Ji had completely lost any hope of breaking through to the Open Heaven Realm unless he acquired a healing supreme treasure to replenish the origin within his body.

But such a treasure was hardly something Lv Ji of the Rule Integration Realm could obtain.

However, Lv Ji still had his own fortune, and by chance, he came upon a quirky Seven-Orifice Stone.

Using this quirky Seven-Orifice Stone as the core, Lv Ji barely managed to refine the four secondary Rules of Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind inside his body and barely kindled them.

Thereafter, the power of the Open Heaven burst forth within Lv Ji’s body, stepping him onto the threshold of the Open Heaven Realm.

But it was truly just stepping onto the threshold, not crossing it. Because it was by using a shortcut to refine the four secondary Rules of Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind, and not truly refining and kindling them.

Lv Ji’s Open Heaven power seemed somewhat awkward. Against cultivators of the Rule Integration Realm, he naturally had crushing power, but facing those genuine Open Heaven Realm powerhouses, Lv Ji was weaker.

Lv Ji wanted to compensate for his shortcomings in the Open Heaven Realm. He traveled to other areas within the Return to Nothing Realm and had some gains, but during one exploration of a mystic realm, he almost perished and had to return to the Black Stone Domain.

Subsequently, he discovered the secret of the human race’s Qiankun Cauldron, as well as the rising threat the humans posed to the status of the Evil Clans, leading to a series of conflicts that have evolved to the present situation.

Lv Ji was most sensitive about other cultivators discussing his Cultivation Realm; sometimes, the more one lacks something, the less they can tolerate others mentioning it.

Thus, Chen Fei’s words were like a slap to his face.

Hundreds of miles away, cultivators of the human race’s Rule Integration Realm, watching the battle between Chen Fei and Lv Ji, all revealed excited expressions.

Chen Fei could actually contend against the Open Heaven Realm without being at any disadvantage.

No, judging from the present situation, it wasn’t just a lack of disadvantage; instead, Chen Fei had the upper hand and had forcefully repelled Lv Ji.

Despite the arrival of the Wu Meng Clan making the Rule Integration Realm of the Black Stone Domain aware that Lv Ji was somehow different from ordinary Open Heaven Realm experts, however different, that was still a realm far surpassing the Rule Integration Realm.

Lv Ji’s reputation as an Open Heaven was not spread by the mouths of the Evil Clans but came from him effortlessly slaughtering several cultivators at the Peak of Rule Integration Realm, and the word spread.

It was precisely the overwhelming battle strength Lv Ji displayed in those fights that exceeded that of the Peak of Rule Integration Realm, making all Races within the Black Stone Domain believe Lv Ji was doubtlessly of the Open Heaven Realm.

Chen Fei was at the Peak of Rule Integration Realm, and even though he displayed a crushing advantage when he slew a few from the Wu Ze earlier,

the Rule Integration Realm was still the Rule Integration Realm, and the Open Heaven Realm was the Open Heaven Realm. The two were distinctly different, a concept deeply ingrained in the minds of all cultivators of the Rule Integration Realm in the Black Stone Domain.

That’s why when Chen Fei faced Lv Ji alone, the cultivators of the human race’s Rule Integration Realm felt so bottomless in their hearts.

However, Chen Fei’s performance undoubtedly set all the cultivators of the human race’s Rule Integration Realm at ease.

With an entirely different mindset, naturally, were the cultivators of the Evil Clans and Ice Race’s Rule Integration Realm.

They thought that with the arrival of the Evil Clan’s ancestor, they were finally saved, and they could even counter-kill the human race’s Rule Integration Realm, making them pay a painful price.

What did they see instead?

Lv Ji, whom they held in the highest esteem, was actually repelled by Chen Fei; this was like the collapse of their faith.

Especially for the Evil Clans, all their confidence and pride were actually all from their own ancestor.

Before the arrival of the Wu Meng and Xuan Clans, why did the Evil Clans feel they were the overlord of the Black Stone Domain, and why were they so impatient and murderous toward the rise of the human race?

It was because of Lv Ji’s powerful Open Heaven Realm strength that gave them the confidence and belief.

But today, as their faith collapsed, they found it difficult to accept and were unwilling to do so.

“The Open Heaven Realm must not be insulted. Since you wish to die, I shall grant you your wish!”

Lv Ji stared at Chen Fei with a sudden grin, where the killing intent in his smile flooded the heavens.

Inside Lv Ji’s soul, he forcibly gathered the four secondary Rules of Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind, then kindled them all, filling his body with the devastating power at that moment.

Usually, Lv Ji’s four secondary Rules of Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind were in a semi-condensed state, with the power of the Open Heaven Realm without causing any burden to his body.

Once Lv Ji ignited the four secondary rules of Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind, he would unleash the true strength of being in the Open Heaven Realm, albeit briefly, and at the cost of damaging his own origin and lifespan.

But compared to normal, his strength would increase by a great margin instantly.

Years ago, when Lv Ji explored the mystic realms outside the Black Stone Domain, he sustained injuries to himself from forcibly condensing the four secondary rules of Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind for too long.

“Buzz!”

A ripple radiated from within Lv Ji’s body, his expression fierce as he thrust his dagger towards Chen Fei.

After exchanging a few moves, although Lv Ji was not Chen Fei’s match and was even forced to retreat by Chen Fei’s blows, he confirmed that this human junior was indeed still at the Peak of the Rule Integration Realm.

The junior’s physique was indeed rather exaggerated, far more powerful than his own, which was why Lv Ji could not withstand it.

Not in the Open Heaven Realm but possessing a body of the Open Heaven, Lv Ji could not fathom how this human junior accomplished this feat; he had never encountered such a cultivator during his travels outside the Black Stone Domain.

Yet not being in the Open Heaven Realm, the human junior’s essence force and soul had not undergone the transformation, and this was his greatest weakness.

The power of Open Heaven had the effect of Breaking Dao, and this fact remained unchanged. Now, Lv Ji’s plan was to avoid Chen Fei’s physical strength and specifically target Chen Fei’s essence force and soul.

The essence force is the foundation that supports the operation of rules, and once it is defeated, the functioning of the physique will be seriously impaired.

Having lived for thousands of years, Lv Ji’s insight and combat intuition were not lacking; he instantly figured out how to counter Chen Fei.

As Chen Fei watched Lv Ji charging towards him, a killing intent that blotted out the sky washed over Chen Fei’s soul, and he immediately realized Lv Ji’s intention by observing his attack.

It has to be said, Lv Ji’s choice was indeed correct, as the essence force and soul were indeed Chen Fei’s current weaknesses.

What Lv Ji did not know was that the Sixth Rank Celestial Suppression of the Great Completion Realm, along with the complete rule of strength, could forcibly protect Chen Fei’s essence, energy, spirit, and soul.

If Lv Ji wanted to forcibly crush Chen Fei’s essence force or soul, he would have to first break through Chen Fei’s physique, which in the end meant that Lv Ji would still have to confront Chen Fei directly, with no difference from before.

With the Space Secondary Rules that Chen Fei currently controlled, coupled with his Open Heaven physique, even if Lv Ji fully ignited Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind, he would ultimately still fall into Chen Fei’s hands.

However, this would take time.

The battle between those in the Open Heaven Realm, unless there is a huge disparity in strength, tends to last a long time.

Even if one is overpowered, it is still possible to flee.

And right now, what Chen Fei lacked was precisely time, as the Wu Meng Clan should already be aware of Wu Ze’s death. There wasn’t much time left before the Open Heaven Realm powerhouse of the Wu Meng Clan would arrive.

Therefore, after clashing with Lv Ji for a few moves and figuring out what being in the Open Heaven Realm entailed, Lv Ji was no longer of any use to Chen Fei.

A dark gleam flashed in Chen Fei’s eyes, as the eight secondary rules of Earth, Water, Fire, Wind, and Mountain Rain Thunder within his soul were ignited.

Second Realm Minor Open Heaven!

Chen Fei’s essence force suddenly turned violent, and compared with Lv Ji’s Open Heaven power, it was indeed slightly inferior, but the gap between them was not excessively exaggerated.

Lv Ji perceived the change in Chen Fei’s aura, and his face slightly shifted. How could the opponent also possess Open Heaven power, and it was even two continuously mingling Open Heaven powers.

From the previous exchanges, Lv Ji could clearly sense that Chen Fei was using the Space Secondary Rules, which had reached a very advanced level.

Using the Space Main Rule as the key to breaking through to the Open Heaven Realm, Lv Ji understood the cultivation path that Chen Fei planned to take in the future.

Ambitious as the heavens, and aiming to break through to the Open Heaven Realm with a Main Rule, such a method was rarely heard of during Lv Ji’s many years of travel, even among those in the Rule Integration Realm.

Let alone it being the Space Rule, which is one of the most difficult Main Rules to comprehend.

But this human junior, with the comprehension of the Space Rule previously displayed, actually had a great chance to complete such a difficult breakthrough.

In that moment, Lv Ji was envious; how could such talent appear within the human race, such a weak race.

If, in the future, this human junior truly broke through to the Open Heaven Realm in this manner, he would be a real powerhouse even among those in the Open Heaven Realm, with immeasurable potential.

Lv Ji was still coming to terms with Chen Fei potentially using the Space Main Rule to break through to the Open Heaven Realm, and now, where did this Open Heaven power derived from Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind come from?

Indeed, in a life-threatening situation, a cultivator at the Peak of the Rule Integration Realm could forcefully ignite the four secondary rules of Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind within their body.

So this human junior not only had extraordinary comprehension in the Space Rule but also comprehended the four secondary rules of Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind?

What kind of cultivation method was this? Wasn’t this human junior afraid that such cultivation would waste his talent, making it impossible for him to break through to the Open Heaven Realm in the future?

Countless doubts flashed through Lv Ji’s mind, and in the next moment, Chen Fei’s and Lv Ji’s attacks collided once again.

“Clang!”

Compared with before, the booming sound from their collision was now even more piercing and intense.
