Chapter 2080 Cicada's Metamorphosis and Dragon Transformation
The vast Dao Domain that had originally spread several feet around him, with an intensity comparable to the mid-stage of the Tai Cang Realm, collapsed, contracted, and merged into Chen Fei's body like hundreds of rivers flowing into the sea.
In an instant, all the outward-displayed Dao Domain light and strange phenomena vanished.
But only Chen Fei himself knew the terrifying, world-destroying power contained within his body at this moment. All the power of the Dao Domain, the blessing of the rules, and the potential of his blood and qi were compressed and condensed to the extreme within a small space of his physical body.
He felt that every inch of his flesh, every bone, and even every cell had become the most violent energy furnace and the most solid carrier of rules. Every gesture he made would unleash power far exceeding his normal state.
Devouring the Divine Body!
"Currently limited by my cultivation level, this state can only be maintained for a dozen or so breaths..."
Chen Fei's gaze flickered slightly, "But for a life-or-death battle between equals or even those of higher ranks, a dozen or so breaths of absolute burst time is more than enough."
"The strength of my Dao Domain is comparable to that of the mid-stage of the Tai Cang Realm, and it is absolutely impossible for an ordinary mid-stage Tai Cang Realm cultivator to integrate the Dao Domain into their body and unleash it at this level..." Chen Fei began to calmly assess his current overall combat strength.
"Compared in this way, my current combat strength already has a considerable advantage over those ordinary mid-stage Tai Cang Realm cultivators who have no special opportunities."
In theory, Chen Fei possesses a Dao Domain strength that transcends realms, as well as a fully enhanced physical body under the Devouring Heaven Divine Body.
However, cultivators in the mid-stage of the Tai Cang Realm possess undeniable advantages in terms of total Yuan Power and depth of understanding of the rules.
"I'm afraid we'll only know after we actually fight it," Chen Fei thought to himself.
However, this only refers to the ordinary mid-stage of the Tai Cang Realm.
Prodigies like Fan Yueze, once they truly break through to the mid-stage of the Tai Cang Realm, with their already solid foundation and advanced comprehension of techniques, may also be able to comprehend their own top-tier inheritance to an extremely high level at that realm, and even master methods similar to the Dao Domain Unification.
In the myriad realms, there are countless geniuses, and others may also possess other extraordinary opportunities. The potential and growth rate of those truly top geniuses should not be underestimated.
The path to enlightenment is endless, and there are always those more capable than oneself!
The burning passion in Chen Fei's eyes gradually subsided, and he returned to a state of calm as a deep pool.
Chen Fei turned her head and looked to the side.
During the time he devoted himself to the integration and cultivation of the techniques, the Night Demon Warrior, relying on the close connection between his mind and body, had already completed a precise and flawless upgrade and reforging of the puppet.
At this moment, the puppet's appearance is not much different from before, but its texture and inner essence have undergone a complete transformation.
Chen Fei closed his eyes, his divine sense acting like a probe, penetrating deep into the puppet's interior, where he saw a completely new internal structure.
The original Void Magnetic Crystal main framework was not discarded, but was perfectly permeated, fused and strengthened by the essence of Void Star Pattern Iron.
Two spiritual materials, both belonging to the void attribute, produced a wonderful reaction greater than the sum of their parts under the exquisite techniques of the "Creation Chapter of the Craftsmanship of Heaven and Earth".
The structure of the materials has been rearranged and optimized, resulting in a seamless integration.
The energy conduction circuit has been redesigned with a shorter and more direct path. The void array patterns engraved on the core and various joints and blade edges have achieved perfect compatibility with the new materials, and the stability and response speed of the array patterns have been improved by more than one level.
Chen Fei reached out, and the puppet formation transformed into the Qian Yuan Halberd, falling into his palm.
Chen Fei infused a wisp of the Devouring Heaven Divine Forging Qi and Yuan Power into it, and a deep and harmonious hum immediately emanated from inside the array puppet, as if a sleeping ferocious beast had been awakened.
The power was transmitted without any hindrance, and the sharpness of the void magnetic field at the halberd's blade almost pierced through the halberd, cutting through space.
Compared to before, the upper limit of pure power output has increased by about 10%. This improvement is mainly due to the optimization of materials and the improvement of energy circuits, which makes power transmission more efficient and less wasteful.
Chen Fei's fingers gently traced the halberd's surface, feeling its deep, restrained resilience—a resilience that seemed capable of withstanding the impact of stars without crumbling. "The toughness of the material, the stability of the overall structure, and its ability to withstand extreme impacts and torsion..."
A look of satisfaction flashed in Chen Fei's eyes; the improvement was at least 30%. This was a qualitative change brought about by the superior physical properties of the Void Star Pattern Iron itself, combined with the peak forging techniques of the Heavenly Craftsmanship Manual.
If it were to experience another intense battle of the same intensity as Fan Yueze, this new Qian Yuan Halberd would no longer suffer the same internal structural damage as before, even if the opponent possessed the Tai Cang Xuan Treasure.
"Not bad!"
Chen Fei nodded in satisfaction, took a small step forward, and the surrounding scenery rippled, blurred, and finally disappeared before his eyes.
The next instant, Chen Fei reappeared in his simple courtyard secret room. The secret room was still the same as when he left, and the formation was functioning normally, blocking all prying eyes.
Chen Fei pushed open the stone door of the secret chamber and walked into the courtyard. Suddenly, his brows twitched slightly. He immediately noticed an atmosphere on Cuiping Peak that was completely different from usual.
At this moment, the sun is high in the sky, and the golden sunlight pours down without reservation, enveloping the entire Cuiping Peak in a warm and bright glow.
The distant mountains are verdant, the nearby waters flow clear and blue, clouds and mist swirl around the mountainside, and birds sing melodiously. Everything looks just like it always has, and even appears brighter and more peaceful because of the perfect sunshine.
However, beneath this surface, there was an undeniable tension and restlessness.
It's so quiet!
It wasn't the kind of quiet that comes from complete stillness, but rather a hollow quiet that comes from the absence of people, the usual vitality and hustle and bustle of disciples coming and going, exchanging ideas, discussing doctrines, and guarding duties.
Even the sound of the wind blowing through the mountains and forests seemed to carry a touch of desolation.
An indescribable tension permeated the air. It was as if something major was happening, or about to happen, making those remaining on the peak unable to enjoy the bright morning light, instead burdened with worries and hurrying about.
Chen Fei frowned slightly. Although Cuiping Peak was not usually very lively, the number of disciples and elders was quite considerable, and the entire peak should be a thriving place for cultivation.
The atmosphere today is quite unusual.
Chen Fei lightly tapped the ground with his right foot, and his body floated up silently like a weightless feather, hovering above the courtyard.
Chen Fei closed his eyes slightly, and his powerful divine sense spread out silently from himself to the entire Cuiping Peak, like mercury spilling onto the ground.
The divine soul power brought by the Great Perfection of the Undying True Light Mirror, combined with the divine sense essence of the Tai Cang Realm, allowed him to clearly perceive the life force and energy fluctuations in many areas within the peak.
A moment later, Chen Fei slowly opened his eyes, a look of understanding and seriousness flashing in them.
"As expected..." he thought to himself, the feeling of fewer people earlier was not an illusion.
At this moment, the aura of the elders and senior disciples of the Tai Cang Realm within Cui Ping Peak was nearly 50% less than what Chen Fei had sensed before his last seclusion.
Even the aura of a fifteenth-level disciple has decreased by nearly 30%.
Although the decrease wasn't as significant as that of cultivators in the Tai Cang Realm, this proportion was definitely abnormal. Unless there were large-scale group missions, field trials, or emergency mobilizations.
The Kunyuan Uprising almost immediately came to Chen Fei's mind.
Chen Fei remembered that not long after he broke through to the Tai Cang Realm, Cao Feiyu had mentioned the unusual commotion in Kunyuan, and the entire sect was making preparations for it.
With doubts arising in his mind, Chen Fei focused his senses again and soon detected Cao Feiyu's familiar aura in a relatively secluded area near the back of Cuiping Peak.
Fortunately, her presence was still within the peak; she had not left.
"Let's go ask Senior Sister Cao about the situation first." Chen Fei made up his mind, and his figure swayed slightly in the air, turning into a light blue phantom, and silently drifted towards the direction of Cao Feiyu's courtyard.
Cao Feiyu's courtyard is backed by a lush bamboo forest, with a clear stream flowing gently in front of the door. The environment is elegant and quiet, which is quite in line with her cool and serene personality.
Chen Fei's figure appeared under an ancient pine tree not far from the courtyard. He glanced around, and before he could knock on the door, the bamboo gate with its impressive protective features creaked open automatically.
Inside the door, a woman dressed in a light blue Taoist robe, with a slender figure and a hint of vicissitude and gentleness in her eyes, was already standing there.
Upon seeing Chen Fei, Cao Feiyu's face broke into a genuine smile.
"Chen Fei, you've arrived."
Cao Feiyu's voice was gentle, like a clear mountain spring, "Have you encountered any doubts in your cultivation that you need to resolve?"
She thought Chen Fei had encountered a bottleneck in his cultivation in the Tai Cang Realm, and came to ask for his advice.
Chen Fei stepped forward and came to the courtyard gate. He bowed respectfully to Cao Feiyu and said, "Greetings, Senior Sister Cao. Thank you for your concern. My cultivation has been going smoothly recently, and I haven't encountered any major obstacles."
"Oh? That's..." Cao Feiyu's beautiful eyes showed a hint of inquiry.
"I came here this time because I felt that the atmosphere inside Cuiping Peak seemed a little different from usual."
Chen Fei raised her head, her gaze sweeping over the somewhat empty and quiet surrounding mountains and forests, before turning back to Cao Feiyu. "There seem to be far fewer disciples and elders in the peak. Has something major happened in the sect recently? I just came out of seclusion and know nothing about it, so I came here to ask Senior Sister for guidance."
Cao Feiyu nodded in response to Chen Fei's question.
She didn't answer immediately, but stepped aside to let us through. "Come in and talk."
"Thank you, Senior Sister." Chen Fei didn't refuse and stepped into the courtyard.
Cao Feiyu's courtyard is not large, but it is decorated in a very elegant and tranquil manner.
The entrance is a small herb garden, planted with some ancient and spiritually vibrant flowers, herbs, and plants.
Passing through a cobblestone path, one arrives at an antique octagonal stone pavilion, furnished with a stone table and benches. Not far from the pavilion stands an ancient well, its banks covered in moss, bearing the marks of time. (End of Chapter)
