Chapter 635: Monster King Talent

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

As the Qianyuan Sword thrust forward, Chen Fei directly activated the Four Forbidden Techniques within his body, and his elemental power instantly boiled.

With his Combined Apertures at the seventh transformation after condensing the essence of the flower, Chen Fei’s physique advanced further. Apart from becoming stronger, the limit of the Forbidden Techniques he could withstand also increased significantly.

Compared to before, now when operating the Four Forbidden Techniques, Chen Fei didn’t even feel any pressure. Obviously, his current physique was already sufficient to cope with such intensity of elemental power eruption.

While Chen Fei remained calm and composed, the expressions of Hai Ao and Yan Liu, the two monsters, couldn’t help but change. Especially Hai Ao, who had already rushed in front of Chen Fei, felt the most intense aura emanating from him.

Originally thought to be just an ordinary mountain, as they approached, they realized it was a towering peak, and that oppressive feeling instantly hit them.

“Roar!”

Hai Ao roared angrily, and the speed of his transformation into his true form increased.

However, no matter how, transforming from human to true form still required some time. This time, in ordinary circumstances, might be inconsequential, but in battle, it could sometimes become a fatal weakness.

This was also why back in Sea Dominion City, although there were many late-stage third-tier sea monsters, Chen Fei didn’t see a single sea monster in human form. It was because in such situations where a fight could break out at any moment, maintaining human form was too dangerous.

Hai Ao thought Chen Fei was just a minor character in the mid-stage of Combined Aperture Tempering realm, and didn’t immediately reveal his true form. Now realizing the mistake, revealing his true form again was somewhat too late.

!!..

A robust aura formed behind Hai Ao, taking the shape of a huge sea monster. Hai Ao’s human form was already starting to blur, but Chen Fei’s attack had already arrived in front of him.

The sharp sword essence burst out on the blade of the Qianyuan Sword, creating ripples. Hai Ao had no time to do anything else but to swing his half-monsterized arm.

“Boom!”

The waves rolled back, elemental energy shattered, and along with it, Hai Ao’s arm shattered too.

Not only the arm, but the terrifying power on the Qianyuan Sword swept Hai Ao’s body all over, flesh and blood bursting, and blood mist instantly dispersed everywhere.

“Bang!”

Hai Ao slammed onto the sea surface, emitting a loud noise. At this moment, Hai Ao’s true form finally revealed itself, but his aura also plummeted.

The humanoid body truly wasn’t suitable for combat; both in terms of attack and defense, it remained at a weaker level.

In such circumstances, even a late-stage third-tier sea monster couldn’t withstand such damage by directly facing Chen Fei’s sword.

The sharp sword essence penetrated Hai Ao’s body recklessly, and Hai Ao couldn’t suppress these sword essences because compared to the damage inflicted by the sword essence, Chen Fei’s absolute strength just now had already shattered its internal organs one by one.

The recovery ability of sea monsters was far stronger than that of humans at the same tier, especially at the late-stage third-tier, where the flesh and blood recovery ability was naturally stronger. However, no matter how strong, there was always a limit.

And Chen Fei’s attack had already exceeded this limit, completely overwhelming Hai Ao’s physique’s recovery ability.

If Hai Ao had faced Chen Fei’s attack in his true form, although he would still be seriously injured, it wouldn’t be to such an exaggerated extent. But in this world, many things didn’t have “ifs”.

At the moment when Chen Fei’s aura burst open, Yan Liu immediately retreated and unfolded his true form.

With the bloodline of a Monster King, not only was the strength stronger than that of monsters at the same tier, but even unfolding the true form, it was almost in the blink of an eye. Compared to Hai Ao, it was undoubtedly much faster.

Yan Liu’s true form had eight arms, with one arm gripping a hammer, and its aura had already reached the level close to a top-grade magical treasure.

Many monsters also used magical treasures, but more often, they were refined directly from a part of their own bodies. Such magical treasures were connected to their essence, not only easy to command but also able to grow together with them.

Some monsters didn’t use magical treasures but instead tempered their entire bodies into one.

As for monsters using human magical treasures, there were some, but very few. Because human magical treasures required more delicate mental control, which didn’t fit well with the conditions of monsters.

Moreover, among monsters, there were very few skilled craftsmen, determined by the characteristics of their respective races, just like among warriors, very few people would intentionally temper their bodies.

It’s not that it couldn’t be done, but sometimes it was more trouble than it was worth.

The hammer-like magical treasure in Yan Liu’s hand at the moment was refined from a part of Yan Liu’s body. Even before launching a real attack, its imposing aura seemed to solidify the surrounding space.

If this hammer were to be truly swung, it would undoubtedly cause mountains to crumble and the earth to split.

Chen Fei glanced at Yan Liu, his figure flickered, and he appeared in front of Hai Ao. The Profound Heavenly Sword revolved, and countless sword essences condensed onto the Qianyuan Sword, which instantly enlarged. Chen Fei slashed towards Hai Ao’s head with one sword.

“Lord Yan Liu, save me!”

Feeling the attack in Chen Fei’s blade, Hai Ao cried out in alarm. It wanted to retreat backward, but the power left in its body from the previous strike hadn’t dissipated yet.

As a result, Hai Ao’s monster body was stiff, unable to move freely. Even if it could, it couldn’t avoid Chen Fei’s sword.

The previous strike had already made Hai Ao realize the terror of the human before it. Clearly too strong, yet hiding its aura, disguised as an ordinary mid-stage Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivator.

Simply put, shameless!

Yan Liu saw Chen Fei trying to finish off Hai Ao, and his eyes widened.

If they were not cautious enough with the first strike, falling into this human’s trap. Now that they had revealed their true forms, the fact that the opponent dared to kill Hai Ao in front of him was simply not putting him in their eyes at all.

The horn on Yan Liu’s head was undoubtedly larger than when he was in human form, and the power contained within it seemed to blind anyone who looked at it.

Now, with Yan Liu’s power erupting, a force swept out from the horn, and within a mile radius, it suddenly became quiet.

The raging waves, water vapor, and the lingering blood mist all froze in place, motionless. Even the turbulent elemental energy, while still circulating, became calm in an instant.

Chen Fei’s body was like amber, frozen in mid-air, while Hai Ao remained unaffected. Just as it was about to flee to the rear, it caught sight of Chen Fei’s current situation.

This was the innate talent of the Monster King’s bloodline. Not only could it sense anomalies in the surroundings, but it could also fix anything within a certain range.

Whether it was a person or an object, none could escape the seal of this ability.

Why did Hai Ao address Yan Liu as Lord? Apart from Yan Liu being a Monster King, it was also because Hai Ao understood the enormous power gap between itself and Yan Liu.

This kind of gap was impossible to resist among peers; only those who surpassed by one tier, that is, at the peak of the third tier, would have the courage to face Yan Liu.

“Kill it!”

Yan Liu’s voice resounded within this domain, its tone as majestic as a divine decree, leaving no room for resistance.

Revealing its true form allowed Yan Liu’s innate power to be fully unleashed.

Hai Ao hesitated for a moment, then a cruel glint flashed in its eyes. Instead of retreating, it rushed towards Chen Fei. It aimed to seize the opportunity while Chen Fei was sealed, to crush him instantly and then devour him.

“Hum!”

A ripple emanated from Chen Fei’s body, faintly echoing the roar of a dragon and elephant in the surroundings. Initially very low, the roar suddenly resounded through the heavens and earth in an instant.

Five Forbidden Techniques!

The seal on Chen Fei began to tremble violently. The next moment, Chen Fei suddenly clasped the void at both ends with his hands, and the violent power extended from his fingertips to the surroundings in an instant.

“Boom!”

The entire domain vibrated, and the seal on Chen Fei’s body was instantly torn apart by his arms. Chen Fei took a step forward and arrived in front of Hai Ao.

Hai Ao’s eyes widened instantly. The seal was torn apart?

The innate talent of Lord Yan Liu, torn apart by a peer human martial artist directly? What was this? Was this the power a mid-stage Combined Aperture Tempering realm martial artist should have?

Countless questions flashed through Hai Ao’s mind. At this moment, it was already too late for Hai Ao to do anything else. With its heavily injured body, it was impossible to harm the human in front of it.

Just moments ago, Hai Ao could have taken advantage of the opponent’s vulnerability while being sealed, but now it had to consider how not to be torn apart by the opponent.

Hai Ao tightened its entire body, all its tentacles blocking in front of it.

Hai Ao hadn’t specifically tempered its magical treasure but focused more on itself. At this moment, it concentrated on defense, exuding an aura as unyielding as an impregnable fortress.

Hai Ao didn’t ask for anything else; now it only sought to preserve its life. Afterwards, it would retreat far away, letting Yan Liu deal with this human.

Hai Ao was already afraid of this completely unreasonable human.

The violent elemental power generated by the Five Forbidden Techniques circulated recklessly within Chen Fei’s body, imposing immense pressure on both his Combined Aperture and physique.

However, Chen Fei forcefully restrained this power. Only the power he could control truly belonged to him. This had always been Chen Fei’s steadfast belief, and he had always acted accordingly.

The Qianyuan Sword thrust forward, its blade bursting through the air, forming a larger edge.

“Clang!”

The sound of metal clashed incessantly. Hai Ao’s body trembled slightly, somewhat dazed as it looked down at its own body. There was a huge wound piercing through its monster body from front to back.

Not only its monster body but also the tentacles previously blocking in front of it were all severed at this moment.

Hai Ao had thought it could perhaps salvage its life by luck, but now it realized that the opportunity was something the human on the other side simply didn’t intend to give it.

If Hai Ao had chosen to flee when Yan Liu’s domain first descended, then perhaps it could have survived.

But unfortunately, Hai Ao chose to trust Yan Liu, only to find out that this chance, the human on the other side didn’t want to give it at all.

Although Hai Ao had reached the late stage of the third tier, even aspired to become a Monster King, it didn’t die during the attack on Sea Dominion City. Yet here, it was killed by a human!

Chen Fei withdrew his sword, and Hai Ao’s monster body trembled. Then, it was completely torn apart by the sword essence. The monster core fell into Chen Fei’s sleeve, while the essence of blood and flesh entered the Qianyuan Sword.

Chen Fei turned around, looking at Yan Liu. Yan Liu had been staring at Chen Fei tightly, his eyes filled with dread..
