nEditor: Dragon Boat Translation

nChen Fei glanced briefly at Black Divine, his expression unchanged, then turned his attention to Rong Zongying.

nIn the past, Chen Fei would never have appeared in front of Black Divine.

nA being like Black Divine could easily defeat Chen Fei with a single strike, given his mid-Fourth Tier strength.

nEven if Chen Fei hid within the Sacred City, he wouldn’t be safe at all.

nThe only way to ensure his life would be to stay within the Central Hall all the time.

nCurrently, the Sun Moon Realm and Monster Emperors had to be together in groups of two or more; otherwise, they might be killed by Black Divine, let alone Chen Fei.

nHowever, if the Boundless Sea won in the life-and-death duel, Black Divine would be banished to the void by the rules of the Boundless Sea dimension.

nThis was something Black Divine had agreed to himself, and the rules had marked his aura.

nOtherwise, the dimension itself, being an indifferent entity, would not target Black Divine.

nOnce banished, even if Black Divine had any grievances against Chen Fei, he would be unable to target him.

nAs for the future, it would depend on whether they had another chance to meet.

nRong Zongying also looked at Chen Fei, his figure flashing as he appeared on the arena.

n“It is truly rare to see someone like you among the wandering cultivators. It’s a pity that we are from different eras.”

nRong Zongying smiled slightly at Chen Fei, then his entire body transformed into blackness, his face hidden behind the black mist.

nThe power of annihilation rippled through Rong Zongying’s body. Unlike You Ziyi’s self-destruction, Rong Zongying controlled it to confront Chen Fei. “Please!”

nChen Fei cupped his hands in salute and then charged at Rong Zongying. The Dust Giant Body’s phantom behind him moved in sync with his actions.

nIn less than a moment, with a half-mile-long spatial rift appearing in the sky, Rong Zongying’s body was completely shattered.

nInside the black shell, there was no flesh or blood left, only a spreading black mist.

nOutside the arena, Zhan Xuming and the others relaxed slightly.

nAfter being modified by Black Divine, Rong Zongying’s combat power had surged dramatically. If it had been anyone else at the mid-Fourth Tier, even a top-tier genius like Zhu Xiaowen might have been annihilated.

nBut Rong Zongying encountered the even more extraordinary Chen Fei and ultimately met his end.

n“Voom!”

nWith Rong Zongying’s defeat, Black Divine’s aura erupted violently. A massive black hole appeared behind Black Divine, with huge spatial rifts extending for miles.

nFrom a distance, Black Divine seemed to become the center of this world, instilling fear in all who looked upon him.

nEveryone, including those from Shadow Island, became immediately wary.

nDespite Black Divine’s current Fourth Tier strength, his Sixth Tier perspective from the past meant that if he erupted, no one knew what might happen.

nChen Fei gripped his Concealment Sword tightly, and the Dust Giant Body became increasingly clear.

nIf anything went wrong, Chen Fei planned to escape, using the Dust Giant Body as a shield for the time being.

nIt was unlikely to hold up, but Chen Fei’s greatest trump card was his Flesh Rebirth technique and the jade boxes in the hands of Qu Qingsheng and his clones, which provided him with a retreat option!

nSuddenly, countless iron chains emerged from the void, binding Black Divine.

nThis was the manifestation of the rules. Since the lower-tier victor challenged the higher-tier victor and failed, Black Divine’s side was considered completely defeated in the life-and-death duel.

nWith this loss, Black Divine no longer had any chances.

nAccording to the treaty agreed upon by the three parties at the time, Black Divine was to be banished.

nBlack Divine did not resist the rules, as it was pointless.

nIn its past Sixth Tier strength, Black Divine might have had a chance to tear apart the Boundless Sea’s rules, but with only Fourth Tier power now, that was no longer possible.

nBlack Divine glanced at the Sun Moon Realm and Monster Emperors of the Boundless Sea, then at Chen Fei on the arena, before being dragged into the black hole by the chains.

nMoments later, the black hole dissipated, and Black Divine truly vanished.

nChen Fei on the arena couldn’t help but feel relieved. He had expected Black Divine to retaliate before leaving.

nIt seemed that, in Black Divine’s eyes, Chen Fei was still just an insignificant ant.

nAttacking an ant might only risk a greater backlash from the Boundless Sea’s rules, which could cause Black Divine even more harm.

nExiled from the Boundless Sea, Black Divine now had to consider how to evade capture by the Emperor of Shadow Island.

nIndeed, Black Divine’s greatest danger now had arrived.

nOnce exiled from the Boundless Sea, the Emperor of Shadow Island would undoubtedly seek to capture Black Divine.

nCapturing and refining such a former Sixth Tier powerhouse might yield rewards comparable to, or even surpassing, those from occupying the Boundless Sea.

nThus, rather than venting its anger on Chen Fei, Black Divine’s priority should be to preserve its own life.

nSeeing Black Divine disappear, the Sun Moon Realm and Monster Emperors felt a significant burden lift from their hearts.

nEven though they had reached Fifth Tier cultivation, facing a powerhouse like Black Divine still left them with a sense of helplessness.

nIn the Boundless Sea dimension, this was one thing, but in the Return to Nothing Realm, a Sixth Tier expert could easily subdue them without lifting a finger, merely instructing a Fifth Tier peak expert to eliminate them all.

nZhan Xuming and the others turned their attention to Shadow Island. As long as they succeeded in challenging the late-Fourth Tier stage, Shadow Island would also have to leave the Boundless Sea dimension.

nWith the Boundary Spirit Pearl, the entire Boundless Sea dimension’s aura could be sealed.

nWhile the crisis wasn’t entirely over, tracking the Boundless Sea dimension would become much more difficult for other powerhouses.

nAdditionally, the Boundary Spirit Pearl had another function: it could slightly monitor the integrity of the Boundless Sea space.

nIf a new spatial passage was opened, the Boundary Spirit Pearl would sense it.

nIn that case, they could flatten the spatial passage and keep enemies out.

nCurrently, the Boundless Sea could only accommodate up to mid-Fourth Tier cultivators. Although this limited their cultivation, it also provided some protection to the dimension, preventing it from being recklessly slaughtered by powerful beings.

nChen Fei left the arena and returned to the area below.

nDozens of precious materials were now piled up in front of him, and Zhan Xuming and the others stood around him, keeping everyone else at a distance.

nTo face the late-Fourth Tier challenge, Chen Fei’s cultivation level needed to be raised.

nChen Fei did not immediately consume the materials but instead lightly tapped his Concealment Sword, restoring it to the form of the Concealment Bell, and then took out the Qianyuan Sword.

n“You cultivate; if you trust me, I can help you refine these two spiritual treasures,” said Pang Changping, the Sacred Master of Tianyang Sacred Land, with a smile.

n“Thankyou, Sacred Master!” Chen Fei cupped his hands in gratitude.

nPang Changping was in the mid-Sun Moon Realm, but he was more renowned for his artifact-refining skills. Among many Sacred Masters, no one could surpass him.

nThe strongest profound treasure in the Sun Moon Realm was in the Tianyang Sacred Land, thanks in part to Pang Changping’s efforts.

nIt had been several hundred years since Pang Changping last refined spiritual treasures. The last time he did so was for his closed-door disciple.

nThe Qianyuan Sword and Concealment Bell flew before Pang Changping, who looked at the crude refining techniques with a slight shake of his head.

nWith a wave of his hand, a flame enveloped the two spiritual treasures.

nNo other precious materials were needed; Pang Changping’s Sun Moon Realm mid-stage true flame was the best aid for refining spiritual treasures.

nZhu Xiaowen and Zhuang Weiquan had already begun advancing their realms. On Shadow Island’s side, only three late-Fourth Tier cultivators remained, and the Boundless Sea could only field three as well.

nZhu Xiaowen and Zhuang Weiquan were the strongest besides Chen Fei.

nChen Fei sat cross-legged, looking at the Profound Lifting Fruit in front of him. Not finding any issues, he swallowed it in one bite.

nAs a top-tier Fourth Tier material, the Profound Lifting Fruit could enhance cultivation even for those at the late-Mountain Sea Realm, let alone Chen Fei, who was at mid-Mountain Sea Realm.

nThe Profound Lifting Fruit melted instantly upon ingestion, its vast energy rapidly spreading throughout Chen Fei’s body and beginning to strengthen him automatically.

nThe effect was subtle but thorough. Although the Profound Lifting Fruit was a top-tier Fourth Tier material with weak impact, even if the body couldn’t absorb it in time, it would still diffuse naturally.

nFor those at the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, consuming it would not pose a life-threatening risk.

nOf course, over the years in the Boundless Sea, even within the Sacred Land, no one had used it this way—it was considered a significant waste.

nChen Fei activated the Nine Heavens Stellar Technique, immediately integrating the medicinal power of the Profound Lifting Fruit. He then began forging the seventh Divine Palace.

nThe process of forging the Divine Palace was remarkably swift. With his profound understanding of the technique, and with his energy, spirit, and soul in perfect condition, there was no obstruction to his advancement.

nIn less than half an hour, the seventh Divine Palace was completed.

n“Voom!”

nChen Fei’s body shivered slightly, and a ripple spread out. He felt his vision begin to rise and then suddenly dive downward.

nThe seven innate talents, accompanied by the phantoms of the seven Divine Palaces, followed Chen Fei’s soul and instantly broke through the spatial barriers, stepping into the void.

nWhen Chen Fei blinked, the scene before him had completely transformed, with a sky full of stars displayed before him.

nChen Fei’s gaze shifted slightly. Compared to his previous entry, the distance between these stars and Chen Fei had significantly decreased.

nAll his techniques were now perfected, with each one being among the top in the Boundless Sea.

nThe talents in the void were formed by the resonance between his body and the void.

nBy perfecting his techniques, Chen Fei had further manifested the latent talents within his body.

nChen Fei surged forward, swiftly passing through the basic talents.

nIn no time, he reached the specific talents exclusive to the Suppressing Dragon Elephant. Compared to previous times, Chen Fei barely expended any of his soul force to reach this position.

nHe did not linger and continued moving forward.

nFamiliar talent light spheres passed by Chen Fei’s vision.

nWhen his soul force was reduced by 20%, Chen Fei saw the talents of Startling Crane, Grave Dust, Seamless, and Moon Wind.

nThese were talents that could extract the opponent’s essence upon injuring them.

nSuch talents were powerful at the Mountain Sea Realm, but their efficacy was uncertain when reaching the Sun Moon Realm.

nAccording to the Stellar Divine Technique, if one could condense a divine ability specifically for extracting an opponent’s essence in the Sun Moon Realm, it would normally be extremely potent.

nEspecially against weaker opponents, it would be almost a guaranteed hit, with the opponent unable to resist.

nHowever, divine abilities were a matter of competition. If encountering an opponent with protective divine abilities, the outcome was unpredictable. Chen Fei preferred to strengthen his own abilities directly.

nAdapting to changes by maintaining constancy!

nChen Fei’s gaze passed over these talents as he continued to delve deeper into the void.

nAfter traversing a desolate expanse of nothingness, two light spheres appeared ahead.

nChen Fei reached out and probed one of the light spheres.

nUnblemished Divine Vision: Clear mind and perception, free from flaws and decay.

n
