Chapter 1012: 983

Just now, Hua Zhichun was wondering if Chen Fei stepped into the top hundred of the Age Tower, whether he would fight Chen Fei.

Today, Chen Fei did indeed become the Challenger, but he directly bypassed Hua Zhichun and challenged Gu Cizong.

The first time he saw Chen Fei was over a year ago, when Chen Fei was only at the early stage of the Sun Moon Realm and audaciously challenged the top rankers of the Sun Moon Realm early stage from various divisions simultaneously.

Moreover, he even asked if he could borrow merit points to place a bet.

Now it seems that Chen Fei was not reckless but fully confident, and that competition, he won cleanly and no one could find any faults.

Immediately after, Chen Fei began to make rapid progress in Qiankun Mansion.

First, he fought against higher cultivation realms and won, and then he challenged Kuang Xingfeng despite everyone’s doubts and won once again.

At that time, Chen Fei had already reached the mid-stage of the Sun Moon Realm.

To this date, having reached the later stages of the Sun Moon Realm, he has already become the Challenger of the Age Tower.

In this little over a year, those unaware would think centuries, maybe even thousands of years had passed.

But this indeed happened in just over a year, and with the help of Qiankun Mansion, Chen Fei’s talent was fully realized.

Inside the Age Tower, Gu Cizong’s figure appeared, and the surrounding environment had already transformed from a lake to a hilly area.

“Gu Cizong, please!” Gu Cizong said gravely.

“Chen Fei, please!” Chen Fei bowed with his hands clasped.

“I have watched your several battles in the martial arena and know that you excel in head-on confrontations.”

Gu Cizong held the Liancheng Blade and started walking towards Chen Fei step by step, each step making a dull sound on the ground.

“Coincidentally, the martial arts I practice are also adept at this,” he said.

As soon as Gu Cizong’s voice fell, he suddenly disappeared, and a blade mark raced from afar, reaching Chen Fei’s face in the blink of an eye.

As the edge of the Liancheng Blade came within three feet of Chen Fei, a tremendous aura burst forth instantaneously. With this strike, Chen Fei felt as though the entire earth was smashing towards him.

Chen Fei’s expression shifted slightly, Heavenly Pillar Collapse Technique, Chen Fei’s second divine power back then, mostly originated from this martial arts.

As Gu Cizong had said, the essence force cultivated from this technique was extremely dense. During battle, it felt like the weight of mountains collapsing, leaving the opponent with no will to resist.

“Boom!”

The entire hilly area trembled violently, and a pit several miles wide appeared under the feet of Chen Fei and his opponent.

The tremendous power was easily blocked by Chen Fei, and the Qianyuan Sword did not even wobble in the slightest.

Gu Cizong’s gaze shifted slightly, knowing that this blade strike wouldn’t cause any harm to Chen Fei, it was more of a probing attack.

However, the fact that Chen Fei took it so effortlessly without a change in expression still shocked Gu Cizong internally.

Gu Cizong raised the Liancheng Blade, just about to continue chopping, but the execution of his move suddenly halted.

The way essence force had flowed in that last strike had been completely forgotten due to the impact of the God-slaying Sword.

Gu Cizong’s movement paused only very slightly, but this slight pause resulted in a gaping flaw before Chen Fei’s eyes, which he instantly capitalized on.

Chen Fei twisted his wrist, and the Qianyuan Sword thrust forward, accompanied by the sound of the Celestial Wood collapsing, which resulted from the Refining Power.

“Clang!”

The tip of the Qianyuan Sword pierced the blade of the Liancheng Blade, and under the overwhelming force, Gu Cizong involuntarily flew backward, blood already spilling from the corner of his mouth.

The offensive stance suddenly reversed, and Gu Cizong could only manage one blade strike before the rhythm fell into Chen Fei’s control.

Gu Cizong’s expression became grave, not only because he was injured in an instant but also due to the shock of forgetting his moves.

This meticulously practiced technique suddenly became unperformable—what had caused this?

If, in the worst case, every movement leads to forgetting one, how could he continue to fight?

If ordinary moves are like this, could Divine Powers be the same?

Gu Cizong, looking at Chen Fei in front of him, suddenly remembered the Sword and Shield Formation he had just employed; crucial points seemed indeed forgotten.

Gu Cizong’s face turned pale instantly, a talisman in his sleeve burned up, and he disappeared from the spot, teleporting dozens of miles away, and immediately consumed a pill.

Chen Fei did not pursue but simply smiled as he looked towards Gu Cizong, which didn’t quite resemble someone who excelled in head-on fights.

Gu Cizong maintained his composure, although he had just said that he was good at direct confrontations, how could he anticipate that Chen Fei would possess such a fierce Divine Power that could make the opponent forget their own moves?

“What kind of Divine Power is this? I have never heard of it,” Gu Cizong shouted loudly.

“You lose, and I’ll tell you,” Chen Fei said with a light laugh.

Gu Cizong’s eyes twitched slightly, and the phantom of Pillar Mountain appeared behind him.

Compared to the Pillar Mountain that Chen Fei had condensed back then, there was a significant difference since Chen Fei had already refined multiple martial arts back then, even refining a few rule particles in the void.

At that moment, as Gu Cizong executed the Pillar Mountain, his momentum soared skywards.

But Gu Cizong did not charge over; instead, the overwhelming power was concentrated on the Liancheng Blade, and a blade light spanning dozens of miles cleaved towards Chen Fei.

In the Combined Aperture tempering realm, a cultivator can already launch long-distance attacks, let alone in the Sun Moon Realm.

However, increasing the distance makes it easier for the opponent to dodge and even escape if they decide to run, unless there is a huge disparity in strength between them.

Gu Cizong rarely engaged in long-distance combat because the characteristic of the Heavenly Pillar Collapse Technique allowed him to maximize his combat effectiveness in direct confrontations.

But now, knowing that Chen Fei possessed a Divine Power with the effect of the Forget Technique, how could Gu Cizong dare to face him directly? That would be like waiting to be weakened!

Chen Fei watched the blade light that seemed to split the heavens and earth. Within a flicker, he had already gathered most of the information from the blade light and then, Chen Fei swung the Qianyuan Sword, striking the middle of the blade light tens of miles long.

“Boom!”

The explosive sound echoed in all directions. This kind of long-range attack generated a more massive momentum because much of the power dissipated due to the distance.

Gu Cizong’s wrist trembled slightly. Even though they were far apart, the disruption of the blade light still caused him some backlash.

The injury wasn’t as severe as before, but to be injured after just one exchange made victory seem out of sight in this battle.

Suddenly, Gu Cizong’s expression drastically changed. The phantom of Pillar Mountain behind him shook violently and then collapsed the next moment.

“Pfft!”

A cloud of blood sprayed from Gu Cizong’s mouth, a direct result of a mishap in the operation of his Divine Power.

Normally, backlash from a Divine Power would not be so severe, but since Gu Cizong had been pushing Pillar Mountain to its limit to bolster his own power, the backlash was more intense.

Gu Cizong wiped the corner of his mouth and looked incredulously at Chen Fei in the distance.

Using a Divine Power from such a distance, and without even making direct contact, could still be affected to the point of being forgotten?

What kind of Divine Power is this? It’s overly tyrannical!

Indeed, it was tyrannical. Chen Fei had refined fifty-seven Emperor-level techniques to condense such a Divine Power.

The techniques of the human imperial sovereign encompassed everything, involving not only a tinge of time and space Rules but also Causality and Destiny Rules.

Though only scratching at the surface, the power it produced was extremely exaggerated for someone in the Sun Moon Realm.

Chen Fei’s God-slaying Sword had not directly struck Pillar Mountain, but the power extending from the mountain’s blade light carried the operational essence of Pillar Mountain.

Through this essence, the characteristic of the God-slaying Sword traced back directly, scattering the Rule particles within Pillar Mountain.

Thus, Chen Fei could wield the God-slaying Sword without restraint. Even if his opponents knew of this Divine Power’s characteristic, they could barely stop it unless they refrained from using Divine Power or even any moves.

But without using these, how could they continue the fight?

“Shall we continue?”

Chen Fei did not pursue further. When his foundational battle strength reached the pinnacle of the Sun Moon Realm, holding the God-slaying Sword was indomitable.

If you can’t dominate by Cultivation Realm and keep getting weaker as the fight progresses, how can you fight?

Unless their strength had already surpassed the typical pinnacle of the Sun Moon Realm and was moving towards the direction of the Rule Integration Realm.

But clearly, Gu Cizong did not possess such strength, otherwise he wouldn’t be ranked merely sixty-fifth in the Age Tower.

Hearing Chen Fei’s words, Gu Cizong opened his mouth but ultimately said nothing, only shaking his head with a bitter smile.

Gu Cizong still had some techniques left, even capable of burning his divine souls, to try to continue the fight.

But if Gu Cizong could burn his divine souls, couldn’t Chen Fei do the same? In the end, it would still come back to square one.

Without finding a solution to the Divine Power being forgotten, there was simply no point in fighting.

And Gu Cizong was precisely the one who couldn’t find a solution, which really meant he couldn’t win.

“You win,” Gu Cizong said resignedly, his figure slowly fading away.

Outside the tower, Gu Cizong appeared, and the Sun Moon Realm cultivators around looked at him, then at the light circle that appeared on the Age Tower, as a burst of noise suddenly erupted.

At this moment, nearly twenty thousand cultivators from the Sun Moon Realm had gathered in the public area.

Apart from the day Qiankun Mansion opened, there had never been an occasion where so many from the Sun Moon Realm gathered here, not even the pinnacle duels of the Sun Moon Realm which attracted at most a few thousand viewers.

Besides the nearly twenty thousand from the Sun Moon Realm, there were also a few Rule Integration Realm heads floating midair.

Seeing the light representing Chen Fei jumping to the sixty-fifth position on the Age Tower sparked a gleam in the eyes of these Rule Integration Realm heads.

For Chen Fei becoming the sixty-fifth Challenger, the Age Tower even vibrated slightly three times, very subtly, but caught by everyone present.

This was the Age Tower celebrating for Chen Fei; since the inception of the Qiankun Mansion, Chen Fei had set a new record for the tower’s Challenger.

It was a joyous and congratulatory occasion!

Qu Qingsheng and others clenched their fists, feeling immense pride that was hard to articulate.

Before, they might not have understood what being the sixty-fifth meant, but now, around them, Sun Moon Realm cultivators had already explained.

A new achievement had been born, and now, it’s up to see how high Chen Fei could elevate this achievement.

A ray of light shot out from the Age Tower, directly landing at the base of the tower.

The thirty-fifth Challenger, Wang Jianzhi.

Seeing this, Gu Cizong, who was not far away, quickly approached.

Wang Jianzhi and Gu Cizong were friends, so Gu Cizong hastened to inform his friend about Chen Fei’s situation to prevent him from being at a disadvantage.
