Chapter 949: The Second Divine Power
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Chen Fei’s eyes glowed slightly. The characteristic of Indestructible Vision truly benefited him immensely.
The enhancement in combat power was self-evident. In the Qiankun Mansion, where resonance increased, it directly accelerated Chen Fei’s cultivation speed.
Now, in the void, with the transformation of essence, energy, and spirit, Chen Fei’s endurance increased. Even the process of refining rule dust could lessen the burden on his soul.
With fourteen talents and thirteen divine palaces, refining them into a single supernatural ability was unprecedented.
It was now proven that consolidating his foundation with every possible method during the Mountain Sea Realm was indeed a correct choice.
Not only did he encounter no obstacles breaking through to the Sun Moon Realm, but the Indestructible Vision supernatural ability also continuously assisted him in his subsequent cultivation.
Chen Fei leaped forward, reaching out to grasp another piece of rule dust.
In the rule dust, the vast majority was still information about power, with a small portion of other characteristics mixed in.
In the void, where the power rules were not the most superficial, Chen Fei found that both of his first two pieces of rule dust were related to power.
Since Chen Fei’s cultivation with the Desolate Slaughter Night Star Sword leaned towards physical strength, the rule dust he gathered for his second supernatural ability mostly involved rules related to power.
Rule dust is a component of rules and is currently the smallest unit Chen Fei can see.
In fact, there are even smaller units beneath rule dust, but Chen Fei cannot see or perceive them.
According to the Sixth Stage Emperor Realm inheritance, even Rule Integration Realm experts still see the smallest components of rules as rule dust.
However, compared to the Sun Moon Realm, Rule Integration Realm experts can already filter out needed rule information from the rule dust while discarding others.
Because Rule Integration Realm experts can achieve this, they can refine a complete and pure rule, ultimately attaining the Sixth Stage Emperor Realm.
Which rule dust is needed and which should be discarded depends entirely on the expert’s own judgment and choices.
If judgments are accurate, the refined rule will naturally become more complete.
But if judgments are incorrect, or if one cannot even identify where they went wrong, their realm will stagnate at a certain stage.
The more mistakes made, the sooner the bottleneck will appear.
Many Rule Integration Realm experts never knew before they died what impurities in their rules kept them stagnant their whole lives.
Cultivation is a very personal matter, especially in Rule Integration Realm cultivation. Others cannot offer guidance.
Currently, Chen Fei could not, and did not need to, discard unnecessary rule information.
What Chen Fei needed to do now was select the rule dust that satisfied him from the numerous pieces before him.
Each piece of rule dust mostly contained information about power, with the remaining mixed characteristics presenting a specific trait.
Chen Fei only needed to determine if the traits presented in the mixed information were what he needed.
Chen Fei released the rule dust in his hand. The second characteristic of this piece was fire, which did not align with his current cultivation method.
Chen Fei continued forward and grasped the third piece of rule dust.
[Power, Wind]
[Power, Thunder]
Chen Fei discarded the third piece of rule dust as well. When he reached the fourth piece, he immediately absorbed it into his soul.
The essence of the soul sank again, and the supernatural ability of Indestructible Vision operated at its limit, reducing the weight borne by his soul.
Chen Fei smiled and continued flying forward.
[Power, Frost]
[Power, Water]
Various second characteristics of rule dust passed by Chen Fei on both sides.
After sifting through the pieces, when the consumption of his soul was nearing the warning level, Chen Fei finally selected the rule dust he needed.
Returning to the entrance of the void, Chen Fei glanced back at the starry sky with a satisfied smile.
He had gathered a total of six pieces of rule dust, with the primary characteristic being power and the secondary characteristics, except for thunder, primarily chosen as earth.
Without Indestructible Vision, Chen Fei could have refined at most three pieces of rule dust from the void before the weight on his soul’s essence would reach its limit.
The strength of a new supernatural ability is normally determined by two aspects:
The quantity of rules contained.
The method of condensing the supernatural ability.
A powerful cultivation method naturally results in a stronger supernatural ability.
It’s like using the same ingredients but achieving vastly different levels of deliciousness depending on the cooking technique.
If someone, like Chen Fei, also practiced the Desolate Slaughter Night Star Sword but used the traditional method of drawing needed rules from the heaven and earth’s essence to condense their supernatural ability, the final result would differ greatly from Chen Fei’s current second supernatural ability.
Though the technique might be the same, the quality of the ingredients is vastly different.
In the cultivation chamber, Chen Fei’s soul returned, and he opened his eyes.
The Desolate Slaughter Night Star Sword operated madly, and the previously emerging light point of the second supernatural ability within his body now burst forth with dazzling brilliance.
The heaven and earth’s essence, already boiling around him, intensified greatly, with the essence around the Eternal Night Manifestation becoming so dense it turned into mist.
This state persisted for nearly an hour before gradually calming, and the second supernatural ability seed was finally completed.
Chen Fei stood up, and behind the Eternal Night Manifestation, a massive shadow appeared.
Upon closer inspection, it was a towering mountain that reached into the clouds, with thunder flashing in the sky.
The Divine Power Pillar Mountain!
Unlike Indestructible Vision, which had many characteristics, the Pillar Mountain had only two: heaviness and solidity.
The thunder in the shadow of the Pillar Mountain was merely an addition to stimulate these two characteristics.
Just as the Desolate Slaughter Night Star Sword also had a thunder attribute, but its function was not destruction but to stimulate itself, producing a more twisted and powerful force.
Chen Fei slowly clenched his fist, and an unparalleled force surged wildly within him.
Previously, with Indestructible Vision transforming into a complete supernatural ability and breaking through to the mid-Sun Moon Realm, Chen Fei’s combat power had already increased significantly.
Now, with the emergence of the Pillar Mountain supernatural ability seed, although its proficiency was only at the entry level, the number of rule dust contained within made it incredibly powerful at this stage.
Chen Fei estimated his current combat strength and concluded that he could defeat his pre-breakthrough self within ten moves.
His power was definitely overwhelming. The reason it wasn’t a one-hit win was that Indestructible Vision allowed Chen Fei to always remain in peak condition.
With sufficient essence, energy, and spirit, Chen Fei would not die.
Moreover, Chen Fei’s efficiency in drawing heaven and earth’s essence was very high, ensuring his sustained combat power.
Defeating him in ten moves was possible only if Chen Fei did not escape and was worn out by prolonged battle.
This illustrated how difficult Chen Fei was to deal with. Even if his opponent’s strength far surpassed his own, Chen Fei had a great chance of escaping even if he couldn’t win.
Chen Fei slowly relaxed his fist, and the Eternal Night Manifestation and Pillar Mountain shadow vanished. He walked out of the cultivation chamber.
News of Chen Fei’s breakthrough to the mid-Sun Moon Realm quickly spread throughout the Qiankun Mansion.
Now, Chen Fei had become the focal point of the entire Qiankun Cauldron. Despite previously being at the early Sun Moon Realm, he received even more attention than those at the peak of the Sun Moon Realm.
“Didn’t the records say that Chen Fei had only recently broken through from the Mountain Sea Realm to the Sun Moon Realm?”
In the public training arena, many people watched the matches while chatting softly.
“Not more than three years,” someone had replied.
“Tsk tsk tsk, not more than three years, which meant just over two years, and he had already made such progress in his realm. It was truly enviable.”
“The Qiankun Mansion provided abundant resources. Otherwise, no matter how exceptional he was, it wouldn’t have been possible to advance from the early to the mid-Sun Moon Realm in such a short time,” someone else had said, filled with both admiration and jealousy.
It had been hard not to feel envious and jealous. Many people had remained stuck at the early Sun Moon Realm for centuries, unable to break through their bottlenecks.
Yet someone else had advanced in just under three years.
“The Qiankun Mansion provided ample resources because of his high innate talent. The Qiankun Mansion was a place where the strong became stronger,” another person had said, shaking their head.
Breaking through to the Sun Moon Realm already indicated exceptional talent among the human race.
However, when compared to someone like Chen Fei, they had felt a sense of helplessness, as if they were ordinary by comparison.
“In half a month, there would be the first elimination. Would Chen Fei challenge the top Sun Moon Realm mid-stage of their branch?”
“It’s hard to say. Normally, he wouldn’t have challenged immediately. He had just broken through and needed time to consolidate,” someone had murmured.
A new realm required a period of stabilization.
While the Qiankun Mansion could accelerate this process, half a month had still been quite short.
Moreover, the top Sun Moon Realm mid-stage practitioners of each branch already had their second supernatural abilities in a complete state, only waiting for the right moment to break through to the late Sun Moon Realm.
In fact, many of the top three or even top five of various branches had completed their second supernatural abilities.
Their combat power in the mid-Sun Moon Realm was at its peak.
No one had doubted that Chen Fei would become the top of the mid-Sun Moon Realm in the future. After all, even the Rule Integration Realm, a seemingly insurmountable chasm for others, was unlikely to stop him, let alone the top Sun Moon Realm mid-stage of the branch.
But that had been a matter for the future. It would still take a few months, right?
For example, at the second major elimination in six months? Growing to that level in just a few months would have been extremely extraordinary and abnormal.
In the City Lord’s Mansion of Sky Sea City.
Dao Yuefeng had also learned about Chen Fei’s breakthrough to the mid-Sun Moon Realm and had shown a faint smile. Having a Chen Fei in this generation had been considered a good result.
However, when Dao Yuefeng thought about the current situation on the human race’s borders, his brows had furrowed.
Within the Qiankun Mansion, all Sun Moon Realm practitioners were rapidly increasing their strength, but the surrounding alien races had had no intention of giving the human race more time.
