Chapter 1882 Condensing the Future Body (4K)
Chen Fei's soul hovered in the void, his body shifted, and he arrived in front of the first ball of light, reaching in with his hand.
A torrent of information, seemingly capable of piercing through the dust of time, surged into my consciousness:
【Time Hunt: The Eye of Decay】
The right eye will transform into a gray-white vortex demon eye, capable of seeing directly into the future half a breath's time, accurately capturing the fleeting fatal flaws in the enemy's moves.
The power gaps at the connection points of techniques, the weakest points of the protective aura, and the stagnation points in the flow of elemental power all transform into dazzling scarlet spots of light under the gaze of the demonic eye.
Each glimpse into the future requires burning a massive amount of immortal power and divine essence, as if igniting one's own lifespan in exchange for a fleeting moment of insight.
Chen Fei's gaze flickered, his mind racing.
Target the weakness directly, strike decisively.
The original Void Treasure's instantaneous omen only allows you to see the scene within half a breath in the future. As for the weaknesses and flaws, you need to judge them yourself; it will not give you direct hints.
Now, this extended feature has gone a step further. You don't need to make a judgment; it directly gives you your opponent's fatal weakness, and you know it half a breath in advance.
This advantage in battle is unparalleled!
As for the need to burn a massive amount of immortal power and divine soul essence, that was to be expected. After all, this involves the power of time rule projection, and without sufficient power, it would be impossible to sustain it.
Chen Fei was quite satisfied with this decaying demonic eye. After all, as his opponents became more and more powerful, the advantage that Chen Fei gained from the Great Perfection Realm Heavenly Cycle Record was actually diminishing.
Especially when facing the peak of the Immortal Realm in the future, everyone has cultivated the fourteenth-order top-grade inheritance and has reached the peak. It will be very difficult for Chen Fei to gain the upper hand in terms of understanding of the world.
At most, Chen Fei only has a slight advantage, as it is merely a matter of fate.
Chen Fei moved to the second ball of light and reached out his hand again.
A bizarre message, distorting spacetime and reversing cause and effect, surged in:
[Paradoxical Ending]
When one anticipates an imminent fatal blow, one can forcibly capture a fragment of time and space in the future, half a breath from now, when one is "dying," and reverse cause and effect, like an ouroboros, turning against one's opponent.
The attacker will be instantly dragged into the illusion of a "future dead end" created by their own attack, suffering a huge shock to their mind and most likely falling into a brief state of paralysis.
The cost remains a massive amount of immortal power and divine soul essence, comparable to the decaying demonic eye.
Chen Fei stared at the ball of light before him, his gaze thoughtful.
"Reversing cause and effect, turning against its master... this technique can be considered a miraculous way to turn the tide in a desperate situation! But..."
Chen Fei's thoughts shifted, and he couldn't help but shake his head slightly.
The strength of this extended effect depends heavily on the opponent's realm and the strength of their soul.
If the opponent's realm far surpasses Chen Fei's, or their soul is incredibly resilient, and they have the protection of a Void Treasure or an extension characteristic, the impact of this 'deadly illusion' will be greatly reduced, and they may even be able to break free instantly.
In contrast, the Decaying Eye has initiative.
Of course, the effectiveness of the Decaying Demon Eye also depends on the opponent's cultivation level and whether they have a special Void Treasure for protection.
However, Chen Fei's ability to see through flaws was not solely based on the Decaying Demon Eye; it was the insights into heaven and earth bestowed upon him by the Heavenly Record of the Broken Universe that gave him his confidence.
If Chen Fei truly chooses the Eye of Decay, he will rely primarily on his own understanding of the universe to ensure its effectiveness.
Weighing the pros and cons, Chen Fei temporarily ruled out the paradoxical connection in his mind.
Chen Fei approached the third ball of light and reached in.
Time Cage
It is possible to fabricate a false half-life of the future out of thin air and forcibly solidify it into a physical "time fragment".
Once an opponent is enveloped by this fragment, they will be trapped in a time prison, like being trapped in an endless nightmare, constantly experiencing this false half-breath of time. Those with weaker souls will collapse in an instant.
Chen Fei pondered.
Weaving a false future and trapping the enemy in a cycle, this extended characteristic leans more towards illusion and mental suppression, quite similar to the causal backlash of paradox, but with significant differences in details.
"This time cage, if combined with the illusions derived from the Heavenly Cause and Universe Record, the interplay of reality and illusion can enhance the power of the illusions. The paradox of the tail can also be combined with illusions, but its limitations are too narrow."
Chen Fei looked in the direction of the first ball of light, his eyes flashing.
"Compared to the 'Eye of Decay,' one attacks weaknesses directly, while the other traps and bewitches the enemy; each has its own merits. The former is more direct, while the latter is more cunning... It's difficult to choose for now."
Chen Fei moved to the fourth beam of light.
A sense of decay, corruption, and unsettling unease spread.
[The Decline Predicted: The Five Arrows of Decline]
While foreseeing the future, one can forcibly extract a trace of the "Five Signs of Decay" from one's own future and condense it into a gray arrow containing the power of decay, collapse, and depletion.
Those struck by the arrow will experience the suffering of the "five decays" prematurely: physical decay, spiritual dissipation, and depletion of the primordial spirit, as if forcibly dragged into the final stage of decay and death.
Overuse of the original "Fleeting Premonition" technique can lead to the danger of the "Five Signs of Decay" in the celestial realm. Chen Fei was not afraid of the "Five Signs of Decay" when he was in the True God Realm of Void because he had a backup panel, so he did not have this worry.
Upon reaching the Immortal Realm, even without a backup panel, the power of immortality can repair various hidden dangers within the body.
Therefore, making the opponent experience the five signs of decay is actually a form of attack; it all depends on how much Immortal Crystal the opponent needs to expend to recover.
Chen Fei withdrew his hand, directly eliminating this extended characteristic.
The power of the Five Signs of Decay alone is certainly not enough; this extended characteristic is more suitable for those who possess various curses or negative effects of Void Treasures.
The effect is only significant when various curses are stacked together and combined with the five signs of decay.
For Chen Fei, it was just the Five Signs of Decay of Heaven and Man, which was not powerful enough and far inferior to the three extended characteristics mentioned earlier.
Chen Fei approached the last ball of light and reached in.
Echoes of Time
In a foreseen half-breath of the future, a phantom image of "the self half-breath later" can be forcibly extracted and condensed into a physical entity called "Echo Puppet" that possesses some of the power of the original body.
This puppet can take the place of the real body to withstand fatal damage, while the real body can take this opportunity to quietly deviate from its original destiny and lurk in the shadows.
The puppet has only one breath left. Once the time limit is up, it will dissipate regardless of whether it is damaged or not.
However, if the puppet suffers severe damage or even "dies" during its existence, half of the damage it suffers will be fed back to the main body.
Upon seeing the message about "Echoes of Time," Chen Fei's eyes flashed with a sharp light!
"Echoing Puppet... Substitute Trajectory, True Form Lurking..."
A thought suddenly formed in Chen Fei's mind:
"This extended characteristic seems to be used to avoid fatal attacks and for tactical deception. But if you do the opposite, actively summoning your 'half-breath later self' as an echo puppet during battle to fight alongside your main body! Even if it's only for a breath, the effect is astonishing!"
Breaking the limits of this extended characteristic allows one to summon a future body with the same power. This is equivalent to having another Night Demon Warrior in the blink of an eye. How terrifying would its explosive power be?
It is enough to instantly push the battle situation to an irreversible and crushing trend!
Chen Fei looked back at the other orbs of light, quickly weighing his options.
"【Decay Eye】Targets weaknesses directly, is simple and brutal, and has unparalleled power. It is indeed a top-tier offensive characteristic."
"But if one's understanding of the universe is profound enough to perceive the essence of all things, the flaws will naturally become apparent. If one has the opportunity in the future to find a stronger inheritance, it is not impossible to achieve an effect similar to or even surpassing the 'Eye of Decay'."
"And the echoes of time..."
Chen Fei's gaze refocused on the ball of light before him:
"Summoning a future self to fight alongside you—this is a power that truly touches the core of the projection of the rules of time! No matter how powerful a fourteenth-tier technique is, it cannot achieve this, not even for a single breath. This characteristic is incomparable to the Decaying Demon Eye!"
I have already made up my mind.
Without further hesitation, Chen Fei grasped the radiance containing the profound mystery of the [Echoes of Time] with his divine soul, turned around and transformed into a stream of light, rushing towards the direction of the Guixu Realm's main body along the rule passage he had come from.
Deep within the void of the Guixu Realm, Chen Fei slowly opened his eyes. Within his soul, the mysterious ball of light representing the [Echoes of Time] floated silently.
"simplify!"
"Echoes of Time is being simplified... Simplification successful... Echoes of Time → Momentary Foreshadowing!"
Once the simplification was complete, the immense spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the radiance of the Time Pavilion descended instantly, completely enveloping Chen Fei.
Chen Fei began to activate the Momentary Premonition. In an instant, a massive amount of insights about peeling away the remnants of time, condensing a future body, and avoiding the backlash of cause and effect flooded into his sea of consciousness like a burst dam. Chen Fei absorbed and refined them at an astonishing speed.
Time flew by rapidly under the acceleration of the Time Pavilion.
Within the Realm of Return to Nothingness, above the sky, the flow of stars suddenly accelerated, and illusory tributaries of the long river of time appeared and disappeared, intertwining, colliding, and then quickly separating.
Countless afterimages of Chen Fei flicker, overlap, and separate in the illusory shadows of the river of time, ultimately returning to a single point.
Deep within the earth, the spiritual veins roared, spewing forth strange primordial energy containing fragments of time.
Strange phenomena occurred, but eventually subsided.
Chen Fei slowly opened his eyes and looked at the panel.
[Void Treasure Trove: Momentary Omen - Echoes of Time (Breaking Limits)]
With a slight thought, Chen Fei activated the extended characteristic of Time Echo.
"Buzz!"
The void ahead distorted slightly, and a figure that was exactly the same as Chen Fei's original body in terms of aura, appearance, and cultivation level silently condensed!
The way this being's eyes open and close exudes a sharp and vibrant aura; it is indeed the future self.
Chen Fei carefully perceived it.
"Their aura, cultivation level, and even the fluctuations of their soul are no different from mine, like a reflection in a mirror... They are extremely similar to the 'historical phantom' summoned by the [Past Body]."
"but……"
Chen Fei frowned slightly. "Its existence is limited to a single breath, unlike the [Past Body] which can be maintained for a long time and act independently. In terms of endurance, it is indeed inferior."
"However, this future incarnation is not without its advantages; it can take the place of the calamity at crucial moments!"
Chen Fei's thoughts shifted slightly, and the Night Demon Warrior suddenly appeared beside him, pointing his fingers like a sword, and a sharp sword light suddenly slashed towards Chen Fei's true form.
"puff!"
The sword light pierced through Chen Fei's body without any hindrance, but in the next instant, ripples of time appeared, and Chen Fei and his future self had switched positions at some point. The Night Demon Soldier's sword light finally landed on the future self's body.
Chen Fei's expression shifted slightly, and a smile involuntarily appeared in his eyes. In a life-or-death battle, this substitute tribulation could turn the tide of a large part of the situation. Especially when one's Immortal Mystic Crystals are insufficient, this characteristic becomes even more precious.
After suffering damage, the future body quickly became illusory, eventually turning into fragments of time and dissipating into the void, just as the one-batch time limit was reached.
Having consolidated the power boost from [Echoes of Time], Chen Fei didn't pause for a moment. With focused concentration, he activated the power of the Chaos Furnace within the Void Secret Treasury.
A pulling force descended, and Chen Fei's soul once again broke free from the constraints of his physical body, leaping into the vast and boundless depths of the void's origin.
The scene before him shifted, and in the hazy, chaotic mist, five orbs of light, each with a different shape and emanating a different rhythm, chased and spun around each other, quietly awaiting Chen Fei's choice.
Chen Fei transformed into a stream of light and appeared in front of the first ball of light, reaching out to touch it.
A torrent of information, containing the essence of yin and yang, and the cycle of creation and destruction, surged into the sea of consciousness.
[Yin Yang Erosion Aperture - Immortal Mystic Crystal]
Using the chaotic energy derived from the origin of the Chaos Furnace as a guide, a "Yin-Yang Twin Fish Pill" containing the true meaning of the Yin-Yang Dao is condensed deep within the Dantian Qi Sea.
Once this elixir is formed, it will be like a miniature chaotic furnace, possessing the ability to plunder and transform the origin of heaven and earth.
It can absorb the vital energy of heaven and earth during the day and plunder demonic energy at night, forcibly seizing and refining these two pure and essential primordial forces of heaven and earth.
Finally, Yin and Yang harmonized, and chaos returned to its origin. At the core of the Yin-Yang Twin Fish Pill, the Immortal Mystic Crystal was condensed and refined!
Chen Fei looked at this extended feature in surprise.
"Self-condensing... Immortal Mystic Crystal?"
The effect of this extended feature completely exceeded Chen Fei's expectations.
After all, the original characteristic of the Chaos Furnace was to devour the spiritual power and origin of the enemy and transform it into chaotic energy to repair itself; it was a pure battle void treasure.
As a result, when it came to the extended characteristics, it turned into the condensation of immortal crystals, becoming a support-type characteristic.
The Immortal Crystal, as a fundamental resource for cultivation, combat, and even survival in the Immortal Realm, is of paramount importance.
In the Xuan Yu Realm, the ways to obtain it are extremely limited. It can either be obtained by slowly transforming the spiritual energy of heaven and earth over a long period of time, or by plundering the source of the secret realm.
The reason why so many Immortal Realm cultivators flocked here upon hearing of the emergence of a new fourteenth-tier secret realm was largely due to the Immortal Mystic Crystal.
Previously, Yuanmo Lu Zijing, for the sake of the Immortal Mystic Crystal, did not even consider leaving when facing several late-stage Immortal Realm Fire Spirits.
The Yin-Yang Erosion Aperture Immortal Mystic Crystal in front of us actually provides a completely new and sustainable acquisition path, directly plundering and refining it from the origin of heaven and earth!
Although, according to the information transmitted within the light cluster, the time required to condense an Immortal Mystic Crystal is quite long, requiring continuous absorption and tempering day and night, it is far less efficient than directly plundering or searching for secret realm treasures.
However, there is no danger in condensing the Immortal Mystic Crystal by himself!
This means that Chen Fei now has the ability to "self-produce" Immortal Mystic Crystals!
More importantly, this is just the beginning. With this first step, there are often ways to develop a second step to increase the production of Immortal Crystals.
Because sometimes, the hardest part is actually the first step.
Chen Fei approached the second ball of light and reached in.
【Rebirth through Fire】
In the instant that he suffers a potentially fatal injury, the chaotic furnace within his body transforms the power stored up daily into a spark of fire, which can heal the injury.
It seems to still be related to the Immortal Crystal, but this time it's not about condensing, but about recovering during battle.
