Chapter 2024 The Ultimate Power, The Beginning of Breaking the Law
Having completed both his cultivation and physical training, Chen Fei did not stop, but turned his gaze to the Guixu Realm, a world that belonged only to him.
With a flick of his sleeve, Chen Fei sent several streams of light flying out from the pile of spiritual materials he had previously counted, hovering in front of him.
A wisp of primordial energy shrouded in chaos, a void boundary stone engraved with natural spatial Dao patterns, a drop of Earth Mother Essence as heavy as the core of a star, and a section of a vibrant, life-giving remnant branch of the Jianmu tree.
These four items are all top-tier innate spiritual objects among the fifteenth-tier items, containing a trace of the world's original Daoist essence.
Chen Fei formed hand seals, casting out profound runes that were imprinted on these spiritual objects.
Immediately, the primordial energy entered the highest point of the Guixu Realm's sky, transforming into a wisp of eternally indestructible innate pure energy, which began to slowly enhance the quality and activity of the spiritual energy in this realm.
The Void Boundary Stone merges into the core of the earth, stabilizing the spatial structure and expanding the boundaries of the realm. The Earth Mother's Essence drips deep into the earth, nourishing all things and enhancing the realm's fundamental richness.
The remaining branches of the Jianmu tree were planted in the center of the boundary, their roots penetrating into the void, their branches and leaves intertwined in a regular pattern, becoming a hub for regulating and balancing the vitality within the boundary.
The entire Guixu Realm trembled slightly, emitting a pleasant hum. The primordial energy within the realm became purer and richer at a visible speed, and the spatial structure became more stable. A vibrant vitality and potential for growth permeated every inch of space.
Although it is still far from being a true 15th-tier superior plane, the path of transformation has already begun.
After dealing with the Void Realm, Chen Fei sat cross-legged, his mind completely immersed in his body, introspecting on himself.
Smelting properties and clearing paths are things that need to be done at each stage of the fifteenth tier.
The end times are a pair of causal eyes that can see the end of all things.
It can not only see the opponent's current weaknesses and cause-and-effect relationships, but also go back in time to see the flaws and scars left behind in the past.
Each leap through nothingness, as it traverses the microscopic fragments of time solidified within itself, is strongly influenced by the power of the law of nothingness. This causes those time fragments to be completely annihilated and return to absolute nothingness the moment it passes through.
Chen Fei's thoughts intertwined, merging these two characteristics of "stars" into one.
"boom!"
In an instant, a hazy, illusory river, seemingly spanning the past, present, and future and woven from endless fragments of time and threads of cause and effect, suddenly appeared beneath Chen Fei's feet.
Above the long river, three orbs of light, each emanating a different Daoist aura, rose and fell like river lanterns.
The first orb of light was dark and lifeless, with an extremely restrained aura, as if it could devour everything that tried to see it.
The second orb of light was dazzlingly silver, and the space fluctuated violently.
The third orb of light, on the other hand, presented a strange interplay of gray and silver.
Chen Fei's gaze swept over the three orbs of light, and after a moment of contemplation, he locked his mind onto the third, gray-silver orb of light.
[Final Leap]
By observing the entire causal line of the target from its birth to its end, one can then leap forward, traversing this causal line through stagnant spacetime to deliver a strike.
Using the power of the End of the World, it directly locks onto the opponent's most fundamental causal line of existence and then attacks.
Retaining the most core insights and leaps, it is the first choice for offense and defense, combining strategic and tactical value.
As Chen Fei made his decision, the gray-silver light suddenly shone brightly, breaking free from the attraction of the illusory image of the River of Time, transforming into a stream of light, and entering the core of Chen Fei's soul!
Chen Fei shuddered. His left eye suddenly turned into a bottomless gray, as if containing the void of the end of all things, while his right eye shone with a brilliant silver light, and a spacetime vortex slowly rotated deep in his pupil.
The two strange phenomena persisted for several breaths before slowly receding and merging, finally transforming into a deep and unfathomable gaze.
"simplify!"
"Final Leap Simplification in progress... Simplification successful... Final Leap → Cloud Palace Thousand Illusions!"
Enveloped in spiritual energy, Chen Fei immediately entered a state of deep cultivation. As the Cloud Palace Thousand Illusions operated, a massive amount of insights about the final leap surged into his sea of consciousness, which Chen Fei then absorbed one by one.
Time passed peacefully within the Realm of Return to Nothingness; it felt like an instant, yet also like a thousand years.
Finally, Chen Fei slowly opened his eyes, a flash of gray-silver light disappearing from them before returning to calm.
With a slight thought, Chen Fei could clearly perceive the subtle causal connections between himself and some objects within the Tianhai City barracks, and even see their past traces and possible future tributaries.
The final leap, the Great Perfection!
Sending and receiving with perfect understanding, possessing keen insight.
Having successfully fused the first trait, Chen Fei didn't stop there; he turned his attention to the next pair of traits waiting to be fused.
The primordial tides and resonances overlapped.
Primordial Tide: Can increase basic combat power by 10% without loss in daily life. During battle, it can also unleash a tide of battle intent, which can burst out an additional 30% combat power for a short period of time.
Resonance Stacking: It also increases basic combat power by 10% without loss in daily life. Its core ability is to permanently peel off and seal the phantom of oneself after half a breath, turning it into an invisible barrier that can automatically resist a fatal injury at any time.
Furthermore, after the phantom dissipates, its power will be added back to the main body, increasing the main body's combat strength by 10%, lasting for three breaths.
As the two properties merged, the phantom of the River of Time reappeared, while three orbs of light rose and fell.
The first orb of light was crimson like blood, brimming with fighting spirit.
The second orb of light displayed a magnificent blend of red and blue, exuding a harmonious and surging aura.
The third orb of light was pale blue like a shield, with shimmering radiance.
Chen Fei looked back and forth at the information inside the three orbs of light, and finally reached out and pointed at the second orb.
【Resonance Tide】
The daily basic combat power is increased by 20%. After the phantom in the body blocks one instance of damage, it resonates with the main body and strengthens, increasing combat power by an additional 10%.
If fatal damage is encountered, the phantom will dissipate to block it, the resonance will be interrupted, and the previously gained amplification will continue briefly in a slightly weaker form before gradually declining.
As the ball of light entered his body, Chen Fei clearly felt that his basic strength, speed, reaction, and even the recovery of his Yuan energy had all been improved in an all-round way, even though he had not yet truly begun to cultivate this characteristic.
"simplify!"
"Resonance Tide is being simplified... Simplification successful... Resonance Tide → Eclipse Furnace!"
After entering deep cultivation again, Chen Fei's aura suddenly surged after a long time, becoming even more harmonious and restrained.
With a thought, Chen Fei could clearly perceive the state of the illusory image within his body, as well as the intensity of its resonance with himself, and could even subtly adjust the amplification bias brought about by the resonance.
Resonating with the tides, reaching the state of perfect fulfillment!
Having successfully cultivated the two new characteristics, Chen Fei's mind became increasingly clear. He looked at the resonance between the Nirvana and the Time Mark within his body.
Nirvana Returns to Ruins: Permanently increases base defense by 10% daily. During battle, it can absorb a portion of the opponent's attack power and convert it into nutrients that temporarily increase its own defense and power tolerance limit.
Time-Traces Resonance: With the power of time traces, the more severe the injury, the stronger the temporary increase in defense, up to 30%.
As the annihilation and the resonant echoes of time merge, the illusory image of the River of Time arrives as scheduled, with three orbs of light rising and falling.
The first ball of light was a mix of black and silver, with ancient, mottled marks, and possessed a heavy and resilient aura.
The second orb of light, pitch black as ink, devoured everything.
The third orb of light, shimmering silver-white, sparkled and shone even brighter.
Chen Fei glanced at it a few times, then reached out and touched the first ball of light.
【Time mark engraving】
It increases base defense by 20% daily. Each time you are injured and trigger Time Resonance, the defense of the injured area, whether inside or outside, will receive a permanent, slight increase.
The 20% increase in basic defense is very substantial, and more importantly, it permanently and slightly increases defense after recovery! This means that every time you get injured, as long as you trigger Time Mark Resonance, the injured area will benefit from the misfortune and become even stronger!
Although each improvement is small, they add up. With the increase in the number of battles, his physical defense will become stronger and stronger. In his spare time, Chen Fei can even train himself to break through and rebuild.
As the ball of light entered his body, Chen Fei felt as if his skin, muscles, bones, and even internal organs and meridians were coated with an invisible film of time.
At the same time, a mysterious sensation arose. He could see extremely subtle, silver-black traces of time slowly condensing in the places where he had been injured in battle, strengthening the organizational structure there.
"simplify!"
"Time Mark Imprint Simplification in progress... Simplification successful... Time Mark Imprint → Dragon Elephant Suppressing Prison!"
Upon seeing the simplified content, Chen Fei couldn't help but smile. This cultivation technique, which was once the most important to him, would always appear before him in various ways over the years.
With the spiritual energy covering him, as the Dragon Elephant Prison Suppression system operated, a massive amount of insights into the Time Mark Imprint appeared in his sea of consciousness and were absorbed by Chen Fei one by one.
After a long while, a barely perceptible layer of dark silver sheen, bearing the marks of time, began to shimmer on Chen Fei's body, before disappearing.
Time marks imprint, the state of perfect perfection!
Chen Fei opened his eyes, exhaled a breath of turbid air, and looked at the last two characteristics in his body: Dao Mark Imprint and Myriad Manifestations Divine Restriction.
Dao Mark Imprint: Increases combat power by 20%. Its core ability is to replicate one of the opponent's characteristics in battle and make it one's own.
Myriad Manifestations Divine Restriction: It increases physical strength by 60% daily, representing the ultimate liberation of pure power, which was also the reason why Chen Fei chose the Heavenly Origin Dao Foundation physical type.
As the Dao Mark Imprint merged with the Myriad Manifestations Divine Restriction, the illusory image of the River of Time reappeared, and the three orbs of light emitted a heart-palpitating fluctuation.
The first ball of light was multicolored and covered with numerous traces of light.
The second orb of light was pure gold, its power almost tangible.
The third orb of light displayed a chaotic hue, a mixture of dark gold and multicolored hues, exuding a violent yet dynamic aura. Within it, countless miniature array patterns and power runes seemed to be constantly being created and destroyed.
Without much hesitation, Chen Fei reached out and touched the third ball of light.
[Divine Restriction Breaking Technique]
It increases physical strength by 60% daily and allows the user to replicate the opponent's characteristics. Furthermore, during battle, it can simultaneously activate multiple replicated Dao traces within the body, causing the physical strength to resonate at an elevated frequency, increasing physical strength by another 20% in a short period of time.
Divine prohibitions are the essence, and breaking laws is the application!
This characteristic retains the absolute advantage of physical strength while also endowing it with the potential to cope with all kinds of changes and bursts of power.
As the chaotic light entered his body, Chen Fei instantly felt a surge of immense power coursing through his limbs and bones. His muscle fibers seemed to transform into a fully drawn divine bowstring, his bones were reforged like pillars supporting the sky, and his blood and qi circulated with a thunderous roar like the surging of the Milky Way.
A feeling arises as if one could tear apart planes with bare hands and shatter all laws with a punch.
At the same time, a mysterious sensation has been added to my soul, making it easier to capture and analyze the fluctuations of Dao traces when an opponent uses supernatural powers.
"simplify!"
"Simplification of Divine Restriction Breaking...Simplification successful...Divine Restriction Breaking → Dragon Elephant Returns to the Void!"
Enveloped in spiritual light, I engaged in deep cultivation.
When Chen Fei opened his eyes again, he was merely sitting still when the surrounding space began to subtly distort. As the Divine Palace within his body continued to operate, the pressure of Chen Fei's physique on the surrounding space gradually disappeared.
Breaking the divine barrier, reaching the Great Perfection Realm!
The ultimate limit of power is the beginning of breaking the law!
Chen Fei stood up and stood quietly in the center of the Guixu Realm, carefully sensing the changes within himself.
His Yuan Power cultivation is at the peak of the late stage of the fifteenth level, vast, pure, and inexhaustible.
His physical strength is at the peak of the late stage of the Dominator Realm, with a permanent boost of 60% from the Divine Restriction Breaking Technique, making his power terrifyingly unparalleled.
Driven by cultivation and physical strength, and tempered by the fusion of special characteristics, the soul becomes resilient, solid, and possesses keen spiritual perception.
The four fusion characteristics—final leap, resonant tide, time imprint, and divine restriction breaking—have all been cultivated to the Great Perfection realm and integrated into instinct.
If there's any room for improvement, it's in the Divine Palace's indestructibility. If Chen Fei had a time-related spiritual material at hand, he could raise his future true body to the fifteenth level limit.
With a thought, Chen Fei's figure slowly faded and disappeared into the Void Realm.
Barracks, personal barracks.
Chen Fei's figure materialized from the shadows, and everything inside the barracks remained the same, with the protective light membrane on the door quietly shifting.
Chen Fei pushed open the door, determined the direction, and walked towards the Merit Department, which was responsible for exchanging merits and recycling supplies, inside the Tianhai City military camp.
The air was filled with the faint metallic scent and the aroma of Xuanjing energy unique to military camps, and in the distance, the powerful aura of the sixteenth-level Tai Cang Realm could be faintly felt.
"Look, it's Fellow Daoist Chen Fei!"
"I've heard that within the Demon Lotus Realm, he turned the tide and even attempted to kill a demon cultivator who had forged the Heavenly Origin Dao Foundation!"
"I heard that even General Kuang Yezhou personally appeared, praised him highly, and bestowed upon him a great treasure!"
"Hiss... He's only at the late stage of the fifteenth level, right? Yet he can actually reverse the Heavenly Origin Dao Foundation?"
Along the way, many cultivators at the fifteenth level slowed down involuntarily the moment they saw Chen Fei, their eyes filled with undisguised curiosity, envy, and even a hint of inquiry. They then nodded to Chen Fei in greeting.
Chen Fei remained calm, neither arrogant nor aloof. He nodded slightly in response to the gazes and greetings, without pausing in his steps.
News of the battle in the Demon Lotus Realm has clearly spread far and wide. In this battlefield where strength reigns supreme, power and achievements are the fastest way to earn respect. Of course, they can also bring trouble.
After passing through several crisscrossing passages and over several heavily guarded array checkpoints, a magnificent palace, entirely constructed of dark blue demon-suppressing stone, suddenly appeared before Chen Fei's eyes.
Above the main gate of the palace hangs a huge plaque that is neither gold nor jade, but emits a faint golden glow. On it are three ancient characters written in strong and elegant strokes, with a Taoist charm: Merit Department!
This is one of the core hubs of the Tianhai City barracks, the central place for all spoils exchange, merit settlement, resource distribution, and mission acceptance!
The area is bustling with people all day long, noisy yet orderly.
Chen Fei stepped onto the steps in front of the Merit Hall, which were dozens of feet wide and paved with a single piece of star iron.
The crowd on the steps was noticeably denser, with cultivators coming and going in an endless stream. Their auras varied in strength, but all were at least at the fifteenth level of cultivation.
The sounds of conversation, bargaining, and the clinking of ritual implements... all intertwined to create a uniquely busy scene.
The jade pendant hanging from Chen Fei's waist flashed with a barely perceptible soft blue light the moment Chen Fei stepped into the area of the Merit Department, before returning to normal.
Although the light was faint, within the Merit Department, it seemed to be some kind of specific signal.
Almost the instant the light flashed, an old man dressed in a simple gray robe, with white hair and beard, but with exceptionally bright and deep eyes, appeared a few steps away from Chen Fei.
The old man's aura was restrained, but with Chen Fei's current perception, he could still clearly sense the vast Yuan Power within him, revealing him to be a powerful expert at the peak of the fifteenth level.
"Fellow Daoist, please!"
The gray-robed old man wore a formal yet polite smile. His voice was calm and clear, reaching Chen Fei's ears directly and completely isolating him from the surrounding noise.
"I am a steward of the Merit Department here. My surname is Fifth and my given name is Yue. I came to greet you because I saw your jade token shining brightly. May I ask what you need?"
Chen Fei's heart stirred slightly, a hint of surprise flashing across his face. His jade pendant was actually special?
"So you're the Fifth Senior, my apologies for my rudeness!"
Chen Fei remained calm and returned the greeting with a cupped hand, saying, "My name is Chen Fei. I have come here today to trouble the Merit and Honor Department with some trivial matters."
"Chen Fei?"
A barely perceptible glint flashed in Fifth Yue's eyes, and the formulaic smile on his face seemed to become a little more genuine.
His gaze swept quickly over Chen Fei. He had just received a notification from the array that a cultivator with great merit was coming to the gate, so he personally came out to show his importance.
Unexpectedly, the one who arrived was a late-stage fifteenth-level cultivator who looked so young.
Just as he was wondering if there was a problem with the formation, the name Chen Fei, along with some rumors circulating in the barracks recently, instantly came to mind.
The Demon Lotus Realm! Defying the Heavenly Origin Dao Foundation! Bestowed by General Kuang himself! ...
All doubts vanished instantly, and Wu Yue's attitude unconsciously became even more enthusiastic.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, you are too kind. Serving fellow Daoists is simply my duty."
Fifth Yue stepped aside and gestured for him to enter. “This place is too noisy to talk. Fellow Daoist Chen, please follow me to a quiet room for a detailed discussion.”
Chen Fei nodded in agreement and followed Wu Yue through the noisy hall on the first floor of the Merit Department. They walked along a passage with complex protective and isolation array patterns engraved on the walls on both sides and arrived at a quiet room in the palace.
The quiet room is small, but elegantly and simply furnished. The tables and chairs are made of fine calming wood, and a faint, soothing fragrance wafts in the air, effectively isolating external disturbances and bringing peace of mind.
The two sides took their seats as host and guest, and a waiter served them fine tea. After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Chen Fei cut to the chase and stated his purpose directly.
"Fifth Senior, the main reason I've come here is to exchange some unused spoils of war for merit points."
As Chen Fei spoke, he waved his hand, and several specially made large storage bags that had been prepared beforehand opened at the same time, with various colored treasure lights and magical lights gushing out from the storage bags.
Fifth Yue glanced at the contents of his storage bag and saw a large number of grotesque, demonic-looking fifteenth-tier demonic weapons and treasures.
Each of these weapons, if taken out individually, was a bloodthirsty beast that had drunk countless lives, yet now they were piled together like scrap metal.
Besides the demonic weapons, there were mountains of various ores, spirit wood, and animal materials, as well as some well-sealed jade boxes, bundles of talismans, and even a few fragments of unknown, ancient-looking demonic weapons... (End of Chapter)
