Chapter 953: Disintegration Divine Power
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

In the Sun Moon Realm within the Qiankun Mansion, gamblers are also present, and when faced with such a betting opportunity, many would almost bet their entire fortune.

However, many of these gamblers had already lost a significant portion of their merit points in Chen Fei’s previous two betting rounds.

Having been indirectly taught a lesson by Chen Fei twice, a number of gamblers now betting on Chen Fei to win have already experienced such losses.

With their merit points running low, they decided to gamble on a 1-to-3 payout. If Chen Fei won, they could make a small profit and repay their previous debts.

Thus, within the Qiankun Mansion, aside from Chen Fei’s own circle, the people who most hoped for Chen Fei’s victory were these gamblers.

The news of Chen Fei’s challenge to Kuang Xingfeng was not only spreading like wildfire within the Sun Moon Realm, but also reached the ears of the Rule Integration Realm’s elders, and even the heads of various branch academies.

Chen Fei and Kuang Xingfeng could now be considered the two hottest figures within the entire Qiankun Mansion.

It cannot be said that they are the most talented, as there are several prodigies among the peak of the Sun Moon Realm, some of whom had high rankings in the Stone Tower challenge.

But because Chen Fei and Kuang Xingfeng were fighting above their levels and winning, their talent could be directly observed.

Now, with the two set to face each other in a direct duel, it was impossible not to attract attention.

At the Fire Away Branch’s courtyard for late-stage Sun Moon Realm practitioners:

Compared to the other thirty courtyards, this one had a total of thirty-one, with the additional courtyard having been seized by Kuang Xingfeng from the Sky Sea Branch.

At this moment, several people were gathered together in this courtyard.

If someone else were present, they would recognize that these individuals were the outstanding practitioners in the mid-stage Sun Moon Realm from the Fire Away Branch, with Kuang Xingfeng being the center of attention.

“Chen Fei is indeed youthful and arrogant, daring to challenge Brother Kuang,” Qu Yunxiang said with a light laugh, fanning himself with a paper fan.

“To challenge twelve opponents of the same level on his first attempt and to succeed in an advanced challenge on his second, it’s almost inevitable for such a prodigy to be a bit arrogant,” Chi Guangye said, taking a sip from his teacup.

“Brother Kuang’s earlier remark was merely a slight provocation, and I didn’t expect Chen Fei to take it so seriously,” Qu Yunxiang shook his head.

“I also thought that a match with him would be at least a year or several years away, but I didn’t expect it to come so soon,” Kuang Xingfeng said lightly as he set down his teacup.

At the initial news of Chen Fei’s challenge, Kuang Xingfeng was only mildly surprised.

This surprise was more about the fact that Chen Fei actually dared to challenge him.

With Chen Fei having advanced to the mid-stage of the Sun Moon Realm in less than a month, what was he thinking?

The Qiankun Mansion’s treasury was filled with spiritual materials, but only a few could significantly enhance the strength of someone in the mid-stage Sun Moon Realm in a short period.

Kuang Xingfeng knew Chen Fei had many merit points, but the spiritual materials exchanged with merit points also required time to be digested, and couldn’t immediately translate into strength.

In this half-month period, Chen Fei could stabilize his mid-stage Sun Moon Realm and make some progress, but that was all.

He couldn’t even reach the peak of the mid-stage, let alone fight above his level.

“I heard that Chen Fei has been cultivating for less than a hundred years,” Qu Yunxiang suddenly said.

Since Chen Fei entered the Qiankun Mansion and took first place in the early-stage Sun Moon Realm at the Sky Sea Branch, information about him had been continuously dug up.

As Chen Fei’s fame grew, especially after his victories over opponents above his level, his background was almost thoroughly investigated.

Although detailed information might be challenging to obtain from the lower realms, the timeline could still be pieced together.

Additionally, the strong vitality Chen Fei displayed made it easy to guess that his real age was still quite young.

“Less than a hundred years!” Chi Guangye’s eyes flickered slightly.

The lifespan of those in the Sun Moon Realm spanned thousands of years, so many in this realm considered several hundred years to be quite young.

Chen Fei’s cultivation time of less than a hundred years seemed somewhat incongruous, but from another perspective, it also highlighted the extent of his innate talent.

“Extraordinarily gifted, everyone knows that,” Kuang Xingfeng said with a light laugh, tapping the table with his right hand.

“But innate talent is one thing, and actual strength is another. At present, he should not be choosing to challenge me. Instead, he should focus on improving his strength first!”

“Brother Kuang is right. If this were outside Qiankun Mansion, such a disposition might lead to disaster,” Qu Yunxiang agreed, nodding.

“Tomorrow’s battle will be a lesson to temper his arrogance, which is actually for his own good,” Chi Guangye said with a gentle smile.

Qiankun Mansion’s Sky Sea Branch:

With the challenge set for tomorrow and the betting odds just announced today, there was a steady stream of visitors in Hua Zhicun’s courtyard.

Not only Hua Zhicun’s side, but the other peak practitioners of the Sun Moon Realm in various branches responsible for the betting were also extremely busy.

As for Chen Fei, the person directly involved, he was in the courtyard’s training room, operating the Desolate Slaughter Night Star Sword and pushing Soul Dissolution to seventy percent.

The immense power flowed rapidly within Chen Fei’s body, and he was attuned to his physical condition, controlling the power with utmost precision.

According to Hua Zhicun, achieving sixty percent in Soul Dissolution only gave Chen Fei a slight advantage in terms of aura over Kuang Xingfeng. Even if Chen Fei reached seventy percent, his advantage might not be substantial.

After all, the power Kuang Xingfeng had displayed earlier did not represent his full strength.

Chen Fei’s strength was reserved, and other prodigies likely did the same.

Thus, simply reaching seventy percent in Soul Dissolution did not guarantee Chen Fei’s victory.

If the Desolate Slaughter Night Star Sword could be advanced to the Mastery realm, Chen Fei’s strength would increase significantly, producing immediate results.

Alternatively, achieving perfection in the Divine Power of Pillar Mountain would also elevate his combat power.

Chen Fei had seen many complete Divine Powers from other practitioners in the Sun Moon Realm. With Pillar Mountain currently at merely the Mastery level, it was already comparable to those complete Divine Powers.

Reaching the Great Completion stage would further enhance Pillar Mountain’s power.

The technique was already stronger than the legacy of the Emperor Realm. Chen Fei had forcibly infused six grains of rule dust into it.

The power contained within was so immense that merely thinking about it made its terror apparent.

Ordinary complete Divine Powers typically contain only one or two grains of rule dust, making any comparison entirely unworthy.

However, these improvements required time, and the challenge was scheduled for tomorrow.

As others had said, Chen Fei didn’t need to rush and could have waited to consolidate his strength before challenging.

But with his current strength, why should he wait?

Soul Dissolution could not be further advanced, but Chen Fei still had Divine Dissolution and even Body Dissolution!

The Body Dissolution was his final trump card, which he would not use unless absolutely necessary.

Body Dissolution involved the complete disintegration of one’s body, mind, and soul to gain power, typically allowing only a single strike.

After delivering that strike, the practitioner would perish.

However, Chen Fei could use Blood Rebirth. Before using Body Dissolution, he could leave a drop of blood within a hundred miles. Afterward, he would find an opportunity to escape and recover.

Upon reaching the Sun Moon Realm and encountering so many legacies, Chen Fei realized how extraordinary it was for the Suppressing Dragon Elephant technique to reach the Great Completion stage and finally awaken the power of Blood Rebirth.

Even among the fifth-level Sun Moon Realm legacies, there was no ability like Blood Rebirth. Only at the sixth-level Rule Integration Realm, with control over specific rules, could similar abilities be found.

Moreover, not all Rule Integration Realm practitioners possessed such capabilities.

The Suppressing Dragon Elephant granted Chen Fei characteristics that even some Rule Integration Realm powerhouses possessed while he was still at the fourth-level Mountain Sea Realm, which was simply outrageous.

If the opportunity arises, Chen Fei still wanted to explore the area behind the Dragon Elephant Stone Stele. There might be additional legacies from Suppressing Dragon Elephant.

Body Dissolution was not suitable for use, but Divine Dissolution was more appropriate for the martial arena.

Divine Dissolution involves the disintegration of Divine Powers. Even among Sun Moon Realm practitioners who possess this forbidden technique, it is used with great caution.

Disintegrating Divine Powers makes it extremely difficult to reassemble them, requiring a massive amount of time to draw from the natural vitality of heaven and earth or special materials. Both options are troublesome.

However, Chen Fei wasn’t concerned. After all, it was just disintegrating Divine Powers.

Disintegrating the Indestructible Vision was indeed challenging, as Chen Fei needed its characteristics to maintain the flow of his vitality and spirit.

Once the Indestructible Vision was disintegrated, Chen Fei’s entire power flow would face major problems.

But Pillar Mountain was a different matter. Pillar Mountain was originally meant to obtain sufficient power.

If Pillar Mountain was not powerful enough now, disintegrating it could exchange for even stronger power.

As for how to recover after disintegration,

The state of Pillar Mountain was always displayed on the panel. The proof was everlasting, so there was no need to worry about Pillar Mountain’s proficiency decreasing after disintegration.

After disintegrating Divine Powers, the rule dust would be slightly consumed and worn out, which is a major issue for other Sun Moon Realm practitioners but not so problematic for Chen Fei.

Divine Powers weren’t truly disintegrated to the last bit.

Like Soul Dissolution, a portion of the essence would remain.

Afterwards, Chen Fei could use the remaining rule dust in Pillar Mountain to draw specific rule dust from the void through spatial gaps.

Chen Fei could not make his soul enter the specific environment of rule dust as he did last time, but he could still draw and refine the rule dust that had been previously melted.

Chen Fei had tried this and confirmed it was possible because rules are omnipresent, not hidden away.

In Indestructible Vision, there was a characteristic that allowed Chen Fei, at this stage, to slightly connect with rule dust, distinguishing him from other humans.

Therefore, disintegrating Divine Powers was only slightly more complicated than disintegrating the soul and could only be used once per battle.

A ripple emanated from Chen Fei, and the mountain phantom behind the Eternal Night Manifestation began to distort, causing the earth to shake and the mountains to crumble.

The Eternal Night Manifestation became increasingly profound.
