Chapter 1143: Chapter 1099: Endless Killing
“`
Secondary rules were all cultivated well, but everyone was stuck at the step of condensing secondary rules into main rules.
Everyone knew that breaking through to the seventh-level Open Heaven Realm with main rules would grant stronger battle strength and a brighter future, yet they simply couldn’t achieve it.
In the end, they all settled for less, cultivating four secondary rules similar to Earth, Water, Fire, Wind, and breaking through to the Open Heaven Realm in the conventional way.
Within the Open Heaven Realm, they would then seek to cultivate main rules.
For a considerably long period, the descendants within the Swallowing Origin Space had been desperately cultivating Space Secondary Rules in hopes of escaping the Swallowing Origin Space.
But in the end, those who managed to escape did so during fluctuations in the Swallowing Origin Space by sheer fluke, having nothing to do with the Space Secondary Rules.
You Bing does not possess the method to cultivate the Space Secondary Rules “Nothing”; You Bing, or rather the Ancient Hug Tribe, mainly cultivates the Ancient Origin Technique.
It’s a neutral and balanced cultivation technique, which allows one to reach the Peak of Rule Integration Realm and holds the promise of breaking through to the Open Heaven Realm.
In terms of power, it is nearly on par with the Wu Meng Clan’s Nine Heavens Star Kill, but it has slightly lower requirements for talent.
From this perspective, the Ancient Origin Technique is an extremely excellent cultivation technique for the Rule Integration Realm, and in the future, Chen Fei could share it for the human race’s cultivators in the Rule Integration Realm to practice.
For now, Chen Fei needs to first integrate it and, at an appropriate time, bring out the completed Ancient Origin Technique.
Given the current situation in the Black Stone Domain, whether or not the human race’s Rule Integration Realm possess the Ancient Origin Technique wouldn’t change anything, since cultivating a cultivation technique also requires a long time to see results.
“Integrate!”
The incomplete Ancient Origin Technique merged into the Desolate Universe God Slaying Technique, causing the latter to drop from Great Completion realm to ninety percent Perfection.
The Ancient Origin Technique did enhance the Desolate Universe God Slaying Technique, but the degree of enhancement was relatively moderate.
Chen Fei picked up a mid-stage Rule Integration Realm spiritual essence, crushed it in one hand, and rich epiphanies spread all around.
A vast amount of three kinds of insights appeared within Chen Fei’s sea of consciousness, and Chen Fei’s mental defense became fully engaged in cultivating.
While Chen Fei was continuously cultivating and improving, millions of miles away in the central region of the Black Stone Domain, a heaven-shaking battle was erupting.
Compared to the cultivators who were originally in the Black Stone Domain, those Open Heaven Realm powerhouses who had sensed that this place was a hiding spot for the Swallowing Origin Clan had already found their target.
Dozens of Open Heaven Realm powerhouses from various races were now laying a frenzied siege to a tripod-shaped Ruins.
The Ruins had been split in two, with a rift that was hundreds of miles wide at its center; from a sufficient distance, one could faintly see the imprint of a finger at the bottom of the abyss.
The location where the Sealing Heaven Finger had descended from the sky was right here.
This was the central area of the Swallowing Origin Space back in the day, and the last resort the Swallowing Origin Clan had left behind was also here.
However, as the Strange Heart Realm’s force intruded and the Black Demon was born, this area gradually fell.
The first of the Black Demons were in fact transformed from the Swallowing Origin Clan, and under their natural instincts, they congregated here, turning this place into a forbidden area within the Swallowing Origin Space.
No descendant of the Swallowing Origin Clan could approach this place, as it was not only home to Black Demons as high as seventh-tier, but the number of Black Demons at the Rule Integration Realm level was alarmingly high.
The Black Demons, considered an abnormality, are quite unique; in life, regardless of their cultivation realm, as long as it was below the Rule Integration Realm, they would continuously absorb the power of the Strange Heart Realm.
Over time, their cultivation realm would increase to the Rule Integration Realm.
This also serves to show the extent of the Strange Heart Realm’s power.
Merely the invasion of some scattered forces was enough to mass-produce Rule Integration Realm monsters.
However, once they reach the Rule Integration Realm, further advancement to the Open Heaven Realm is generally out of reach for the common Black Demon, with the exception of those descendants of the Swallowing Origin Clan who were already at the Open Heaven Realm level or possessed exceptional talent.
Only then would they evolve into seventh-tier Black Demons and begin to possess their own intelligence.
One can only imagine how many Black Demons there used to be within the Swallowing Origin Space.
In order to ensure their own survival within the Swallowing Origin Space, the descendants of the Swallowing Origin Clan had to timely clean up the Black Demons in areas other than this forbidden land, to prevent the Black Demons from becoming stronger.
But even so, it was only a matter of time before the descendants within the Swallowing Origin Space were wiped out, which is why they were constantly attempting to break the Imprisonment of the Swallowing Origin Space to return to the Return to Nothing Realm.
If they did not act, they would truly all perish.
At this moment, near the Ruins, there was a dense mass of Black Demons, layer upon layer to the point where the color of the ground was indistinguishable.
Right now, there were forty-nine Open Heaven Realm powerhouses near the Ruins, with only a few at the Open Heaven Realm Early Stage, most at the Middle Stage, and even five at the Late Stage.
With the power of a seventh-level Open Heaven Realm, a Rule Integration Realm would be swept away upon encounter, and there would be no surprises. However, near the Ruins, the situation seemed to be different.
Within the Ruins, it seemed that a power connected all the Black Demons, forming an ability much like the Soul-devouring Worms that shared damage, on top of which the Black Demons themselves were fearless of death and could even draw upon essence, energy, spirit, and soul. Miraculously, they managed to keep the forty-nine Open Heaven Realm powerhouses at bay, outside of the Ruins.
On the other side of the hundred-mile-deep rift, there was a sky filled with Soul-devouring Worms battling the Black Demons.
“`

The ruins were divided in two, with each side carrying out their assaults without interfering with the other.
However, as it currently stood, neither the Open Heaven Realm warriors of the various races nor the Soul-devouring Worms had been able to conquer the ruins. But the trend seemed to indicate that the Soul-devouring Worms might progress a bit faster.
After all, Soul-devouring Worms were claimed to devour everything, and they could barely swallow even the power of the mutated Strange Heart Realm.
Dozens of Open Heaven Realm powerhouses watched grimly from above as many Black Demons, which should have been destroyed, re-emerged from the ruins after some time.
There must be a Supreme Treasure of the Swallowing Origin Tribe within the ruins, now only a hundred miles away, yet insurmountably out of reach.
Attempting to withstand the attacks of these Black Demons and break into the ruins, one late-stage Open Heaven Realm powerhouse had tried to do so.
But ten miles away from the ruins, the strength of his rule body in the Open Heaven Realm was suddenly greatly weakened, followed by countless Black Demons pouncing onto him.
It was a close call, and a formidable late-stage Open Heaven Realm powerhouse was nearly forcibly destroyed right there.
An hour later, the assault ceased, and forty-nine Open Heaven Realm powerhouses retreated, watching the entrance of the ruins as new Black Demons continuously emerged to fill the void.
The Black Demons near the ruins seemed as though they could never be completely eliminated.
Half a day later, the forty-nine Open Heaven Realm powerhouses each arrived at rather large cities of the Wu Meng Clan, Xuan Clan, and descendants of the Swallowing Origin Tribe.
Their order was one, to dispatch all Rule Integration Realm and Open Heaven Realm warriors to join them in assaulting the ruins, having to seize this half of the Swallowing Origin Tribe’s ruins before the Soul-devouring Worms did.
By conquering the Swallowing Origin Tribe’s ruins, there would also be Supreme Treasures from the Swallowing Origin Tribe to take.
If they were to face the Soul-devouring Worms, the forty-nine Open Heaven Realm powerhouses, although not afraid, knew that such a conflict had no benefit for them.
These multiracial Open Heaven Realm powerhouses commanded the Wu Meng Clan, Xuan Clan, and descendants of the Swallowing Origin Tribe; the Wu Meng Clan then started commanding the various races from the Black Stone Domain.
As the Open Heaven Realm was summoning help, a ripple spread through the ruins, and the previously wandering Black Demons from various parts of the Black Stone Domain began converging towards the ruins en masse.
“Clang!”
In Jiguang City, Chen Fei was using the Power of Faith to boost the surrounding epiphanies, aiding in his own cultivation, when suddenly the sound of a bell rang through the entire city.
Chen Fei ceased his cultivation and sensed the vicinity of Jiguang City, finding no danger.
Chen Fei curiously went to the city lord’s mansion and saw Weng Zongfang and Tang Yunshou with furrowed brows.
Seeing everyone had gathered, Weng Zongfang took out a black token which was currently flashing red light.
“This is a token issued by the Wu Meng Clan. Initially, it was said that when the token emanates red light, no matter where we are, we must all converge to Meng City,” Weng Zongfang solemnly stated.
Weng Zongfang didn’t mention what the consequences of not going would be, as they were quite obvious.
“With so many Black Demons out there, how are we to go?” someone asked with a frown.
Black Demons could fly, and even if one wanted to fly through the sky, they’d be attacked by Black Demons.
Traversing such a vast distance, how many Black Demons would one encounter? And could they even reach Meng City alive?
“Black Demons are being summoned, moving towards a particular direction, and their aggression has weakened. The Wu Meng Clan’s summoning of all races in the Black Stone Domain might be related to this,” Tang Yunshou whispered.
Just now, Tang Yunshou had gone outside the city and discovered that the Black Demons thousands of miles away had vanished. He ventured further and finally found the Black Demons.
Subsequently, Tang Yunshou noticed that the original aggressiveness of the Black Demons suddenly disappeared; as long as you kept a hundred miles away, they completely ignored him.
This was not a change of heart by the Black Demons, but rather they had received a higher command.
Unless you got too close, the Black Demons would still instinctively pursue and attack you.
Chen Fei stood at the back of the crowd, his brow furrowed, vaguely feeling that this might be related to the Supreme Treasure left by the Swallowing Origin Tribe, which he had previously speculated about.
After half an hour, all of Jiguang City’s Rule Integration Realm soared into the sky, leaving only the residents below the Rule Integration Realm in the city.
Weng Zongfang and Tang Yunshou had considered whether to take the residents of Jiguang City but ultimately decided against it.
The journey ahead was uncertain, and the death of any Human Clan’s Rule Integration Realm would mean the death of hundreds of thousands of humans within their mystical treasures.
Now, without the threat of Black Demons, staying inside Jiguang City was actually safer.
Not just Jiguang City, the situation was the same in the neighboring Pianyi City, and Chen Fei even sensed the presence of Rule Integration Realm individuals from the Ancient Hug Tribe.
All Rule Integration Realm individuals currently in the Black Stone Domain were being asked to converge towards the Central Region.
Two days later, without any rest, the Rule Integration Realm of Jiguang City arrived at Meng City just before the deadline.
Chen Fei observed from the sky above Meng City, sensing a stranger and immensely powerful presence that dwarfed even the ancestor of the Wu Meng Clan.
Three hours later, all of Meng City’s Rule Integration Realm powerhouses and above set off, and a day after, a dense swarm of Black Demons appeared in Chen Fei’s sight.
