Chapter 1864 Rapid Progress (4K)
As fellow immortals within the same faction, they were inseparable and naturally looked out for and helped each other upon arriving in the Xuan Yu Realm.
Li Taichang never expected that Yin Henglin, who had been safe in the Xuan Yu Realm for so many years, would die and perish in this secret realm without a Sovereign Realm expert.
Yin Henglin is cautious by nature. If he were to encounter a peak Immortal Realm cultivator, he would definitely choose to flee at any cost.
As for encountering someone in the late stage of the Immortal Realm, they are all in the same realm. Even if they are no match for the enemy, they can still escape with their lives by sacrificing their own to save the king. After all, the Eternal Calamity Fortress is extremely effective for saving one's life.
"Could it be that he was killed by some peak Immortal Realm expert?" Li Taichang's eyes flashed, his expression was gloomy, and his figure swayed and disappeared from the spot.
Billions of miles away, Chen Fei's soul was within the origin of the void. He looked at the five orbs of light in front of him and reached out into one of them.
【All streams flow back to the source; the tide surges against the current】
When it successfully absorbs part of the opponent's attack, it can instantly mix a portion of the unconverted energy with the "balance" rules of the primordial sea to form a violent "reverse tide" that immediately rushes back towards the source of the attack.
Upon seeing this extended characteristic, Chen Fei's eyes flickered slightly. It was an unconventional defensive counterattack, very much like Time Ripple - Spacetime Collapse.
However, the collapse of spacetime utilizes time folds to turn the opponent's attack into one's own. This "Return of All Streams to Nothingness," on the other hand, directly reflects a portion of the opponent's attack back, somewhat like an attack reflection.
Back when Chen Fei was in the first stage of Body Refinement in the Guixu Realm, he learned a technique called Starry Night Sword and Shield, which was a defensive technique that could deflect some of the opponent's attacks.
Essentially, it's about making one's defense stronger, and the Myriad Streams Returning to the Void is also about making the defense devoured by the Origin stronger.
The Origin Devouring Void Treasure has the original characteristic of absorbing a portion of the opponent's attack power and converting it into its own vital energy. It also has the characteristic of balancing the power within the body.
Overall, the extended characteristic of this "All Streams Return to the Void" is quite good, which can make the original source devouring defense characteristic even stronger.
When Chen Fei was at the thirteenth level of the Void True God Realm, he chose to devour the origin for the purpose of defense.
Chen Fei approached the second ball of light and reached in.
【Void Devouring - Domain Anchoring】
Actively unfold a massive, slowly rotating phantom domain of "primordial sea" (voiding vortex) around yourself.
Any non-original energy or attack that enters this area will be continuously pulled, devoured, and weakened, significantly slowing down its speed and power.
The absorbed energy is continuously transformed into a stable vital energy environment within the domain (beneficial for one's own recovery) and slightly enhances the power of the domain's area.
The original Origin Devouring method involves absorbing and transforming the opponent's attack within the body, while this Devouring Vortex projectes this transformation outward, turning it into a domain-like mode.
Compared to internal transformation, external domain has an undeniable advantage: when the opponent's attack is too strong, internal transformation may collapse due to the inability to withstand it, causing damage to the main body.
However, even if the external domain cannot withstand the attack, the domain will at most collapse.
Compared to an attack that erupts inside the body, the damage caused by the collapse of the external domain is undoubtedly much smaller.
However, the external domain is not without its drawbacks. Its large range can often affect the speed of the user's movement, much like having a formation attached to them.
Regardless, shifting the devouring attack from inside the body to outside is more beneficial than harmful, making the extended characteristics of this Devouring Vortex a good choice.
Chen Fei stopped and went to the third ball of light, reaching in to touch it.
【Remnants of the Law - Source Analysis】
The primordial sea's devouring depth reaches the level of laws. If an opponent's attack contains special law power, it can be devoured and temporarily solidified into a "law remnant".
Users can incorporate the debris into their own attacks, granting temporary counter-effects.
Alternatively, this remnant can be consumed within the original sea to perform "source analysis," slightly increasing resistance to similar attacks.
Upon seeing this extended characteristic, Chen Fei couldn't help but look at the Wanliu Guixu from before.
The "All Streams Return to Nothingness" technique directly reflects some of the opponent's attacks, while this "Source Analysis" further develops in the direction of time ripples and spacetime collapse.
To take advantage of the opponent's attack, and then to counterattack.
However, this source analysis only absorbs and strips away a portion of the power of the rules in the opponent's moves. The exact amount that can be absorbed depends on the complexity of the rules in the opponent's moves.
This is not a repetition of the time ripples-spacetime collapse, because the underlying principles of the two are fundamentally different.
In other words, Chen Fei can, on the basis of spacetime collapse, superimpose source analysis and borrow more power from the opponent's attacks.
As for the "All Streams Return to Nothingness" technique, since it involves a direct counterattack without the step of integrating the elements into one's own body, the pressure on Chen Fei will be less.
However, with less pressure, the attack power naturally decreased as Chen Fei's own strength was no longer used to launch a counterattack.
There are advantages and disadvantages to both. It depends on the practitioner's confidence in themselves, whether they are more willing to take low-risk or high-risk risks, and whether they possess stronger offensive power.
Chen Fei arrived in front of the fourth ball of light. The three extended characteristics he saw so far each had their own merits. No matter which one Chen Fei chose, it would significantly improve his combat power.
【Primal Embryonic Breathing - Barrier of Chaos】
When subjected to an attack far exceeding its own limits, the Origin Devourer of the Void Treasury collapsed.
It briefly collapses all its devouring and transformation abilities and most of its own elemental power into a single point (primordial embryonic state), forming a layer of absolute chaos on its body surface, where power is constantly annihilated and reborn as a "chaotic barrier".
This chaotic barrier lasts for one breath. When the barrier collapses, the absorbed damage will be released in all directions as a pure chaotic shockwave.
Compared to the previous three extended traits, the Chaos Barrier extended trait does not provide additional daily status improvements, but rather adds a safety net feature.
When an opponent's attack exceeds its own limits, a stronger Chaos Barrier will appear than usual.
According to the information Chen Fei sensed, the defensive strength of this Chaos Barrier could be increased by half a level.
In other words, with Chen Fei's current cultivation level at the mid-stage of the Immortal Realm, the Chaos Barrier's defense is close to the defensive strength of the late-stage Immortal Realm.
Looking at it this way, this Chaos Barrier seems rather useless, at least for Chen Fei.
Because Chen Fei's defense comes from various enhancements, not just from the Origin Devouring this Void Treasure.
Chen Fei's current defensive strength has already reached the level of the late stage of the Immortal Realm; otherwise, how could he have killed Yin Henglin, who was in the late stage of the Immortal Realm?
The Chaos Barrier at its strongest is only close to the late stage of the Immortal Realm, which is almost useless against Chen Fei.
Of course, Chen Fei is a special case. If other cultivators encounter such an extended characteristic, it would be extremely beneficial.
Having already given up on the extended property of the Chaos Barrier, Chen Fei approached the last ball of light and reached in.
【Origin - Abyss of Annihilation】
Relying on the primordial sea, forcibly balance the power within the body.
The description of this extended feature was simple, but Chen Fei's eyes couldn't help but light up slightly.
For other immortal realms, forcibly balancing the power within their bodies is far less effective than characteristics like "all streams return to the void" or "returning to the source and analyzing," since many immortal realms would not allow their internal state to become unbalanced and collapse.
If a state of imbalance and collapse is reached, then even combat becomes impossible, unless there is a Void Treasure or an extension property that solidifies the body's state.
However, many of the void treasures that solidify the physical state can only solidify for a very limited time; the more severe the physical collapse and imbalance, the shorter the solidification time.
Only the Void Treasury of Time Projection Power can disregard these things and control the time as it is said to be.
Chen Fei possesses a time ripple, so no matter how much his body collapses, the time ripple can forcibly solidify nine breaths of time.
Chen Fei still had a burning fighting spirit, but after increasing his combat power by 30%, the power within his body became unbalanced and collapsed, making it impossible to increase it further.
If Chen Fei chooses the extended characteristic of the Abyss of Annihilation and forcibly balances the power within his body, then the combat power boosted by the Boiling Battle Intent will continue to increase.
Until the power within the body becomes unbalanced and collapses again, then time ripples are used to lock the state.
The ability to reflect damage from the "All Streams Return to the Void" and the ability to analyze and fuse parts of an attack from its source are both good features. However, this is ultimately relying on external forces, and nothing is as stable as one's own strength.
Just like in the previous confrontation with Yin Henglin, after Yin Henglin discovered that Chen Fei possessed the extended characteristics of spacetime collapse, he tried his best to avoid being able to borrow Chen Fei's power.
Yin Henglin did this, and he will do the same with any Immortal Realm expert he encounters in the future, since this is the most basic combat choice.
The extended characteristic of the Abyss of Annihilation, combined with the Boiling Battle Spirit and Time Ripple, allows Chen Fei's own power to increase dramatically, eliminating the need to rely on the power of others.
Without any hesitation, Chen Fei, using the extended property of the Abyss of Annihilation, flew back to where he had come from.
Deep within the void of the Guixu Realm, Chen Fei suddenly opened his eyes.
[Void Treasure Trove: Origin Devouring - Abyss of Annihilation (Unrefined)]
"simplify!"
"Simplifying the Abyss of Annihilation...Simplification successful...Abyss of Annihilation → Origin Devouring!"
Chen Fei glanced at the remaining Immortal Crystals. The remaining Immortal Crystals were more than enough to simplify the extended properties of a Void Treasure.
Chen Fei turned his head and glanced at the scene outside the Guixu Realm. At this moment, no other unexpected situations occurred within the secret realm, and Chen Fei's enhanced luck did not sense any danger emanating from the shadows.
Chen Fei withdrew his gaze. Surrounded by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the Time Pavilion, Chen Fei closed his eyes and began to circulate the Void Secret Treasury Origin to devour it.
In an instant, a massive amount of insights appeared in his mind, which Chen Fei absorbed one by one.
As time passed, the slightly fluctuating spiritual energy of the entire Guixu Realm, which had been undergoing a transformation into a mid-grade fourteenth-order realm, suddenly became calm.
The transformation of the Guixu Realm has not stopped; in fact, due to the balance of power within the Guixu Realm, the pace of transformation is accelerating.
After an unknown amount of time, Chen Fei slowly opened his eyes.
[Void Treasure Trove: Origin Devouring - Abyss of Annihilation (Breaking Limits)]
Watching the changes in the information on the panel and sensing the subtle shifts in the power within his body, Chen Fei began to circulate the Void Treasure, his battle intent boiling.
A large amount of Yuan energy surged into the Boiling Battle Intent, instantly increasing combat power by 30%.
Previously, when the Battle Intent Boiling had boosted Chen Fei's combat power to this level, the source within Chen Fei's body had already become disordered, and the Battle Intent Boiling could no longer increase his combat power.
But now, with the power of the Abyss of Annihilation spreading throughout his body, his origin is still very stable, showing no signs of imbalance.
A smile appeared in Chen Fei's eyes as he continued to pour his Yuan Power into the Void Treasure that was boiling with battle intent.
"Buzz!"
A huge ripple spread out from Chen Fei's body, indicating 40%, 50%, and 60% of his combat power!
Chen Fei's internal energy once again became unbalanced and collapsed. He released his boiling fighting spirit, and his internal energy returned to normal.
An extended feature of the Void Treasure allowed Chen Fei to increase his combat power by another 30%.
If he had possessed such power before, he wouldn't have needed the Night Demon Warriors to appear when facing Yin Henglin; Chen Fei alone could have killed Yin Henglin.
Ultimately, Yin Henglin's fighting style, while seemingly balanced in offense and defense and giving him a significant advantage against other late-stage Immortal Realm cultivators, has major drawbacks against Chen Fei, who is well-positioned to exploit these weaknesses.
Chen Fei exhaled a breath of turbid air and began to circulate the Time Remnant of the Void Secret Treasury. Then, his divine soul leaped into the Void Origin.
Because the Time Remnant has never developed any extension properties, the past body summoned by Chen Fei has remained at the initial stage of the Immortal Realm.
For Chen Fei now, his combat strength, which is only at the initial stage of the Immortal Realm, is no longer of much help.
Now, as long as Chen Fei fully refines the extended characteristics of the Time Remnant, he can summon his past self with the same cultivation level once again.
【Array - A Galaxy of Stars】
He summoned three phantom images of historical figures with lower cultivation levels than himself to assist in the battle.
The original characteristic of Time Ripple was to summon the phantoms of historical powerhouses of the same cultivation level to assist in battle, but now the number has changed to three, but they are no longer of the same cultivation level.
Chen Fei frowned slightly. According to the information emanating from the light, this person's cultivation level was lower than his own, at least one small level lower.
In other words, if Chen Fei chooses this extended characteristic, he can either continue to summon a past incarnation with the same cultivation level as himself, or summon three past incarnations at the peak of the early stage of the Immortal Realm.
This gives the remnants of time another option, but whether this option is good or bad depends on each immortal's understanding of their own power.
Chen Fei already has Night Demon warriors, plus his past incarnations with the same cultivation level, so the number is more than enough.
Transforming past incarnations of the same cultivation level into three past incarnations of a slightly lower level might not only fail to increase the help, but could actually significantly reduce it.
After only a brief consideration, Chen Fei abandoned this extended feature.
It wasn't that it wasn't good enough, but it was indeed too little of a help to Chen Fei.
Chen Fei approached the second ball of light and reached his hand inside.
【Time Amber: Fragments Frozen in Time】
The state of a captured historical figure at a specific moment in battle is solidified, and a one-time, self-aware phantom that exists solely to perform this skill is summoned.
The phantom appears and immediately uses this ultimate skill. After use, this segment of the historical figure cannot be summoned again for a short period of time, and it takes longer to restore contact.
Transforming "summoning a character" into "summoning a specific skill," Chen Fei looked at this extended feature and suddenly thought of the current supreme expert of the Xuan Yu Realm, Venerable Tian Xuan.
