2537 The First Life-and-Death Trial
Han Fei had already obtained a lot of information.
The Black Wind Pirates had been annihilated, and Zhang Daqian should be reaching Zhang Beihai soon. There shouldn’t be any problems in the short term.
As for himself, after taking the pirates’ money, he would have to find a way to enter the Infinite Mining Area.
As Old Chen said, the pirates outside the Infinite Mining Area were very rampant and were inextricably linked to the Infinite Mining Area.
If he were to sweep across the pirates blatantly after the Black Wind Pirates were just destroyed, he would definitely be besieged.
Although he wasn’t afraid of the siege of the pirates or the big shots in the Infinite Mining Area, he wasn’t here to fight alone.
However, he had to build a batch of strong soldiers. After experiencing the Scattered Star Sea, Han Fei knew that even if he built a powerful team of 100,000 Sky Opening Realm powerhouses, it was still not enough in the Sea of Stars.
However, 100,000 Sky Opening Realm powerhouses were already extraordinary in the Sea Realm.
He had already achieved the goal of being strong alone, but now his goal was to make each of his men strong. These people were the seeds in his hands, the vanguard of the rise of the human race, and a hope.
Of course, this didn’t mean that he would stop fighting the pirates outside the Infinite Mining Area. Of course, he still had to fight them, but he needed to find and hunt some special targets.
…
One year later.
On his Origin Star.
This year, Han Fei used it as nearly 200 years, mainly appearing on his Origin Star and the Sea of Stars.
On this day, Han Fei finished preaching to his soldiers. Hong Yue and the others hurriedly led a group of people into the Sea Realm to transcend the tribulation. Seven people were going to advance to the Sky Opening Realm. Han Fei personally guarded them, and a total of five people survived.
In this year, another 32 people succeeded in opening the sky. Even though their progress was already very fast, it was still not enough.
Because there were more and more Sky Openers, more and more resources were consumed. So far, half of the resources looted from the Black Wind Pirates had been used up.
As for the Sea Establishers of the Black Wind Pirates, half of them had already been dead. Almost half of the Sky Openers had died too, mainly because Han Fei’s team had improved too quickly.
Most of the time, these people were cultivating techniques, tempering the body, and refining the soul.
But cultivation alone couldn’t make them grow fast. Han Fei knew that it was time to go hunting again. And this time, with sufficient preparation, there would be one battle after another.
Han Fei himself had embarked on a brand-new cultivation system. There was actually a certain conflict between the Supreme Divine Technique of the human race and the Godfiend Formless Technique.
The Supreme Divine Technique focused on strengthening the physique and its cultivation speed was extremely fast.
However, the Godfiend Formless Technique took a balanced route. The two spiritual heritages were operating in parallel and compatible with the myriad Daos of the world. With it, the soul and power could fuse, entangle, and transform into each other, but it also greatly reduced the cultivation speed of the Supreme Divine Technique.
In the past year, he had mainly used his strength to transform into the soul. Although the cultivation speed of the Godfiend Formless Technique was not as fast as the human race’s Supreme Divine Technique, the Dao of perfect balance had brought great benefits to Han Fei’s combat power.
However, as his cultivation progressed, Han Fei discovered a problem. That was, the cultivation of the Godfiend Formless Technique had stopped because of the Supreme Divine Technique.
This was because it was no longer easy to compress his current Star Core after it had been compressed a thousand times.
The Supreme Divine Technique’s way was simple and crude, compressing his Star Core over and over again. Compared to the beginning, his Star Core had already been compressed ten thousand times. Now, it had to be compressed a thousand times more. Han Fei had tried it before, but it was difficult to control.
Of course, it wasn’t that he didn’t gain anything. It was that engraving Dao patterns could help lock down the abnormal movements of the Star Core.
For others, from the peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm to the perfected Star Transformation Realm, they generally only needed to cultivate the Dao Bone. However, to cultivate the Supreme Divine Technique, not only did Han Fei have to cultivate the Dao Bone, but he also had to compress his Star Core.
Although the Godfiend Formless Technique could transform the soul and power, Han Fei discovered that once he couldn’t make a breakthrough with the Supreme Divine Technique, the Godfiend Formless Technique itself couldn’t bring him any qualitative improvement.
It was equivalent to the Supreme Divine Technique focused on cultivation and the Godfiend Formless Technique on balance. When the Supreme Divine Technique was slowed by the problem of the Star Core, the Godfiend Formless Technique would be slowed too.
Han Fei had talked to the God of War and the old turtle about honing his Dao bones. It was to engrave his own Great Dao on his bones in the form of Dao patterns.
However, the engraving here wasn’t like engraving words, but to trigger the power of the law to actively imprint on the bones.
At present, because Han Fei’s right arm had obtained the inheritance of the Ultimate Hammerin the Dao Enlightenment Palace in the Divine Capital, half of his arm had already formed Dao patterns of the Great Dao of Strength, but this part of the Dao patterns was not complete.
Furthermore, Han Fei discovered that this part of the Dao patterns were slowly degenerating and disappearing. Compared to when it was first branded, the engraving was already more than half as shallow.
Besides, during this year, Han Fei wanted to enrich the Great Dao of Strength on his right arm and sense the law of strength, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t engrave the Dao patterns on his bones.
He had asked the God of War. The God of War said that it was probably because his understanding of the Great Dao wasn’t enough and he needed to get the true meaning of laws. However, he also expressed his doubts. He shouldn’t be unable to imprint anything.
Because Han Fei’s strength had just slowed down a little, he didn’t pay much attention to it. He felt that it might be because he had too many Great Daos and needed time to comprehend the laws one by one.
Besides, Han Fei was still conflicted about his own Great Dao. He had tried to take his original Great Dao, but he had never succeeded.
Therefore, Han Fei was not in a hurry to engrave the Dao bones.
Since there was still a long way to go before he reached the perfected Star Transformation Realm, Han Fei simply let it go. Anyway, he felt that he had already solved the mystery of the human race’s Supreme Divine Technique, so he wasn’t in a hurry to cultivate. After all, his time was limited.
Therefore, he decided not to cultivate in seclusion anymore. Everyone returned to the Sea Realm and began a new round of trials to temper themselves.
In fact, Han Fei had some other people who could be used as whetstones, such as Butcher An. They were taken into the An Taiping’s Origin Sea by An Taiping, and An Taiping was killed by him, so these people were trapped in his Origin Sea and couldn’t leave.
Don’t underestimate these peak-level Sea Establishers who only had more than a hundred people. They were all participating in the 100,000-year competition. If they were really used as whetstones, they would definitely kill many of his men.
Therefore, it was not the time to use them yet. The people on his side were not strong enough yet.
…
Half a month later.
Sea Realm.
Han Fei had already chosen a target more than half a year ago. This target was a pirate group called Bloodthirsty in the periphery. They were a special species of fish called Bloodthirsty Banner Fish.
It was an ancient tribe outside the Infinite Mining Area. Because they were born bloodthirsty, they were not tolerated by the major tribes. In the end, the other tribes launched a joint strangulation on them. However, a group of people escaped and ended up becoming pirates.
However, they maintained the habit of living in groups, but their location was unknown.
Among the pirates around the camps, the information on the Bloodthirsty Pirates was the most detailed. It could be seen that Old Chen hoped that Han Fei could annihilate this pirate team.
So Han Fei’s first target was the Bloodthirsty Pirates.
In the past half month, Han Fei had been looking for the location of the Bloodthirsty Pirates and investigating their dynamics, and found a cultivation belt they occupied, which was where they nurtured their clansmen.
In the wilderness, there were not only Infinite Mining Areas that could steadily nurture talents.
Outside the Infinite Mining Area, there were many clans and factions with fixed cultivation places. These Bloodthirsty Pirates had more than 30,000 Sea Establishers, more than 200,000 Venerables and explorers, and more than 60 Sky Openers. In the outer areas of the Infinite Mining Area, they were much stronger than the Black Wind Pirates.
Others couldn’t find the Bloodthirsty Pirates, but Han Fei could.
After finding them, it only took Han Fei three days to lock onto the trial field of the Bloodthirsty Pirates.
The trial field was for those below the Venerable realm, Venerables and Sea Establishers. Of course, at this time, most Sea Establishers went hunting. Therefore, only less than 10,000 Sea Establishers were training in the trial field.
And this was exactly the best whetstone.
On Han Fei’s side, there were less than 30,000 Sea Establishers. The remaining 100,000 people were still lacking an opportunity.
On this day, Han Fei personally led his army to this place.
In the trial field of the Bloodthirsty Pirates.
The hunting competition was ongoing, in which countless Bloodthirsty Banner Fish hunted the captives to see who killed the most enemies. There were as many as 50,000 participants, but only 8,000 captives.
And there were only seven spectators watching the battle.
Among these seven people, except for a late-stage Star Transformation Realm cultivator, the others were all in the early-stage of the Sky Opening Realm.
At this moment, the seven people were evaluating.
Someone said, “Look, that jellyfish has turned transparent. She has completely withdrawn her aura and concealed herself to enforce the law. She’s really good. I bet she can escape 100,000 miles away.”
Someone smiled and said, “Heh, she’s just a White Jellyfish. Although she’s rare, how can the contestants of our race be so weak? I bet she can only escape 50,000 kilometers, no more.”
The first person grinned ferociously. “Okay! If you win, I have a peak-level Sea Establishment Realm White Jellyfish in my hand. I’ll give it to you as a snack.”
While they were talking and laughing, a voice suddenly sounded beside them, “I bet you didn’t notice my existence. Otherwise, why would you still be so happy when you were about to die?”
Buzz!
The expressions of the seven people instantly changed. When they came back to their senses, they saw a soul body looking at them with a smile.
At that moment, the Bloodthirsty Banner Fish in the peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm thrust out its palm, and sword light dazzled in the sky.
Clang!
In front of the old turtle, a soul shell quietly appeared and easily blocked the blow. Seeing this, the others all fled. They were no match for the peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm cultivator.
The peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm cultivator shouted, “Hurry up, inform our clan that our location has been exposed.”
However, the old turtle didn’t stop them.
On the other side, Hong Yue stepped out of the void. “Fellow Daoist, how about becoming my puppet? I treat my puppets very well.”
On the other side, Yingyue stopped someone. “This road is blocked.”
Someone shouted, “Oh, no! We’ve been ambushed!”
For a moment, all seven of them were stopped.
At this moment, a young man walked out of the void. With a wave of his hand, more than 70,000 people appeared. Their strength was all below the Sea Establishment realm.
Han Fei shouted, “Everyone, enter the trial field. This is your first life-and-death trial. Anyone who kills an enemy will be rewarded with a Venerable-level divine-quality technique.”
