Traveling Through the Heavens: Intercepting Duan Yu at the Beginning

They are clearly just ants, not even as good as the Qi Refiners from three thousand years ago. How did they become what they are now?

Bang!

No matter how the Corpse King struggled, the giant sword still landed steadily on his head. The sword energy and evil energy intertwined and collided with each other, making bursts of dull sounds.

However, this only lasted for a moment. As Chen Fei exerted force on his hands, the sword slashed down fiercely.

This sword cut through the corpse king's attack, cut through his protective evil spirit, and even cut through his physical body.

laugh!

The long sword slashed across the corpse king's body, and then slowly disappeared.

"Did you win?"

"How does it end? Who wins and who loses?"

Below, the people who had been watching the battle looked anxious. Shi Jian used his only remaining left arm to support himself and struggled to stand up. He glanced at the old Taoist priest from the Taoist Temple who had already lost his breath, and then looked at the sky nervously.

They had all lost the strength to fight, and even more than half of the eighteen formations collapsed in the final battle. If Chen Fei could not kill the Corpse King, they really couldn't imagine the consequences.

High in the sky, a strong wind blows past!

The Corpse King stood there in a daze. After a moment, his throat moved slightly: "How... is it possible..."

As the Corpse King spoke, it seemed as if a chain reaction was triggered. A thin line appeared in the middle of his body, starting from the top of his head and running through his entire body.

Under Chen Fei's attack, his body was split into two. The evil spirit and death energy in his body were constantly repairing his injuries, but Chen Fei's sword energy continued to rage in his body, making his body unable to be repaired.

puff...

Suddenly, sword energy burst out, black blood spurted out from the wound, and the Corpse King could no longer hold on.

The seemingly intact body split into two and fell from the air.

boom!

A loud roar was heard, and the corpse king fell straight to the ground.

"We win, we win!"

"Hahaha, the Corpse King was defeated, he was finally defeated!"

"Brother, did your spirit in heaven see this? We won!"

"Woo woo woo, Old Ancestor, your sacrifice was not in vain. China has been defended, and the human world no longer needs to suffer the ravages of the Corpse King!"

Seeing this scene, the people below could no longer suppress the joy in their hearts, and they all cried bitterly.

This battle was extremely brutal. Hundreds of practitioners from various sects fought to the end, and only thirty or forty people were left. The rest were all killed in the battle.

"Huh...finally..." Fade Chen breathed a long sigh of relief. His face was pale and there was very little internal energy left in his body.

In this battle, he had exhausted all his internal strength, and at this moment he was weaker than ever.

The Corpse King is immortal. Although they cannot kill him in the true sense, being able to defeat him and break his body is the best outcome.

Next, all you need to do is set up a large formation to trap the Corpse King's most critical, incorruptible bones. As long as no one breaks the formation that imprisons the Corpse King, he will never be able to escape.

This is already the best result!

Chapter 136 Preparation before Breakthrough

Maoshan, Damao Peak!

On the top of the peak, an altar was built in a short time.

Nine stone pillars, three meters high and as white as jade, stood around the altar. Each of the nine stone pillars had an iron chain extending towards the altar.

Nine iron chains converged in the middle of the altar, with a pitch-black bone tied to the end, which was the core incorruptible bone in the body of the Millennium Corpse King.

After the battle at the seaside, after some discussion, everyone decided to hand over the corpse king's incorruptible bones to the Maoshan Sect for suppression and custody.

Chen Fei is from the Maoshan Sect. If it weren't for Chen Fei, no one would be able to defeat the Corpse King in this battle. It is natural that the corpse king would be handed over to Maoshan for safekeeping without being turned into bones.

The large formation before them was a collection of the strengths of various schools and factions. One of the formations had the ability to seal the Corpse King and prevent the evil spirits from entering.

There is also another formation that can provide self-protection to prevent damage from outside.

The most powerful one is the large formation set up by the Tianshi Mansion. This large formation can guide the lightning in the sky during thunderstorms, and use the power of the nine-day thunder to strike the Unchanging Bone, thereby consuming the opponent's strength.

Chen Fei didn't know what the elders of the Tianshi Mansion were thinking. Did they really want to wipe out the Corpse King's origin, or did they simply want to vent their anger for the old Tianshi being killed? In short... the Corpse King was in a miserable state!

After arranging everything, everyone gathered in the Maoshan Hall. While they survived the disaster, they also felt sad for their fellow Taoists who died in the battle.

In this battle, more than two-thirds of the high-ranking Taoist and Buddhist leaders were killed, and the remaining people were all injured. It would probably take a lot of time to restore their respective sects to their former strength.

Or...it will never be able to return to the way it was before!

With the arrival of the Dharma Ending Age, the oppression of heaven and earth is getting greater and greater. Now, the people with the highest cultivation level can still cultivate to the ninth level of Qi Refining, but as time goes by, the upper limit that practitioners can reach will become lower and lower.

I am afraid that within a hundred years, practitioners will be completely extinct.

This is also the reason why everyone has to set up so many large formations to refine the Corpse King. If one day cultivators completely disappear, once the Corpse King escapes, who can stop him?

Do what you can do well in this generation and don’t leave danger to future generations!

People from various sects recuperated in Maoshan for a few days, and only left one after another when they were almost recovered.

"Big Brother, we are leaving now. Please take care!"

On this day, Uncle Jiu, Fade Chen and three others said goodbye to Shi Jian. Looking at Shi Jian's empty right arm, Uncle Jiu felt a little uncomfortable.

As the eldest senior brother, I am protective of my youngest, but when it comes to major issues, I am very clear.

"Ok!"

Shi Jian nodded. He looked at Fade Chen, a thousand thoughts in his mind.

Once upon a time, he wanted to kill Chen Fei to avenge his son's broken arm, but now, if it weren't for Chen Fei, not only him and his son Shi Jian, but the whole world would have to die with him.

The two of them had been on the battlefield together, so no matter how much hatred they had, Shi Jian had let it go at this moment.

"Cough cough..."

On the way back to the charity cemetery, Fade Chen coughed from time to time. He was seriously injured in this battle. The meridians in his body were bearing too much force, causing them to break into pieces.

Even his internal organs were damaged by the backlash in the battle with the Corpse King.

If you want to recover, you need to take good care of yourself.

"Junior brother, you can defeat the Corpse King, but is there a way to completely destroy the Corpse King?" Looking at Chen Fei's pale face, Uncle Jiu hesitated for a moment and asked!

"Brother, are you worried that when the Dharma Ending Age finally arrives, no one in the world will be able to deal with the Corpse King?"

Chen Fei spoke with a smile. He naturally understood what Uncle Jiu was thinking.

"To be honest, I don't have a very good solution. A Corpse King at the Unbreakable Bone level has already transcended the realm of mortals and has one foot in the realm of immortals and gods."

"I am just a mortal. How can I have the power to truly kill it?"

Chen Fei's words made Uncle Jiu feel even more worried. Although he knew that his children and grandchildren would have their own blessings, if some things could be nipped in the bud, it would also benefit future generations.

"Don't worry, Senior Brother. When the Dharma Ending Age arrives, all things will cease to exist, and other forces will naturally emerge."

"Look at today's foreign guns and cannons. Aren't they a new kind of power?"

"If a cultivator is not prepared in advance and is hit by a foreign gun or cannon, he will die on the spot. These things are already quite powerful."

"Even if these things can't hurt the Corpse King, who knows how far firearms will develop in the future."

"Perhaps, with the power of technology, humans will be able to reach the heavens and pluck stars, descend into the oceans and capture dragons, or even destroy an entire city with a single cannonball."

"Not to mention cultivators like me, even a Corpse King would have no choice but to surrender when faced with such power!"

Chen Fei comforted Uncle Jiu. Uncle Jiu and the others didn't know, but Chen Fei knew that the future would be an era of technology.

"Oh...I hope so!"

Uncle Jiu shook his head and stopped talking. He had never seen the power of later technology, so he naturally didn't believe what Chen Fei said.

After returning to Renjia Town, Chen Fei parted ways with Uncle Jiu and the other two. He returned to his own manor and began to retreat.

In the secret room, strands of internal energy flowed through his body, repairing his wounded body.

Five days later, a powerful aura emanated from the room, transforming into a wave of air that spread out in all directions. A moment later, Fade Chen appeared in the yard, refreshed.

Although he suffered heavy injuries from this battle, it was also a blessing in disguise as his strength was enhanced again.

The strength that had been stuck at the peak of the Grandmaster level for a long time now took another half step forward, with a tendency to break through to the next level.

Even his cultivation strength has improved. Chen Fei feels that he can strive to reach the ninth level of Qi Refining and reach the next level of constructing the Golden Elixir.

That’s right, above Qi Refining is the Golden Elixir. Swallowing a Golden Elixir will not make you immortal, but you can live for hundreds of years.

However, every time he had this thought, his heart would suddenly jump, as if there would be some great horror when he attempted to refine Qi.

This feeling came very strangely, but as a cultivator, sometimes this inexplicable warning could save their lives, which made Chen Fei hesitate to act rashly.

Chen Fei guessed that perhaps it was because of the Dharma Ending Age that the heaven and earth blocked the path of advancement for practitioners. If he forced a breakthrough, he didn't know what dangers would be waiting for him.

"Practicing Taoism is like rowing a boat against the current. How can we stop moving forward just because there is danger ahead?"

"Heaven has blocked this road, but I want to try it anyway."

"But before the breakthrough, I have to arrange the follow-up matters!"

Finally, Fade Chen made up his mind and prepared to try to break through to the realm above Qi Refining.

Even if there is the suppression of Heaven, Chen Fei has a backup plan. He can leave this world at any time. If things are really impossible, then he can temporarily avoid the edge of Heaven.

Of course, before that, he had to make arrangements to leave this world if he failed to break through.

Chapter 137 Brother Chen, are you making arrangements for your funeral?

"Hey ha... Hey ha..."

In a military camp, nearly a hundred shirtless men were working hard to hone their bodies.

"Put on more effort. Haven't you eaten yet?"

"Do you know how many people are jealous of your opportunity to practice martial arts? If you don't want to practice, your martial arts will be wasted and you have to get out of the team!"

Marshal Long, wearing a form-fitting training suit, held a whip in his hand and whipped the soldiers who were exercising from time to time.

A month has passed since Chen Fei left. During this period, these people have been undergoing high-intensity training every day.

Although he still hasn't cultivated internal strength, his physical strength is far beyond what it was before.

They are now able to easily beat ten of the people they used to be able to defeat.

Even Marshal Long, who had been living a life of luxury for a long time, lost most of his fat during this period and returned to his youthful state.

What Fade Chen taught them was a technique that focused more on body training. When combined with internal strength and equipped with modern firearms, they would become humanoid weapons on the battlefield.

"Not bad, Marshal Long, you have trained your men very well."

A teasing voice sounded from above his head. Marshal Long was stunned at first, and then suddenly became ecstatic.

"Brother Chen?"

Marshal Long looked up at the familiar figure in the sky, his face full of excitement.

"Master Chen!"

Below, the ninety-three soldiers who were training stopped their martial arts exercises and knelt on one knee in unison, looking at Fade Chen in the air with eyes full of admiration and devotion.

"Everyone, long time no see!"

"Marshal Long, your strength has been surpassed by your men!" Chen Fei fell from the air with a smile on his face!

"Hahaha, if they are stronger than me, then so be it. They are all my soldiers anyway. How dare they rebel against me?" Marshal Long laughed heartily, his face full of heroism: "Brother Chen, how did you find the time to come here?"

There was some surprise in Marshal Long's eyes. A master like Fade Chen came and went without a trace. It was absolutely impossible that he came to chat with him on purpose.

"I remembered something and came to see you!"

"I'm about to go on a long journey, and I'm not sure when I'll be back, so I came to see how your cultivation is going. After all, you are the future hope of this country!"

"Now it seems that although the training time is still short, it is not bad!"

Chen Fei was quite satisfied with the progress of these people's cultivation.

Being able to cultivate a second-rate technique to this level in just one month without any foundation shows that he has not been lazy at all.
