Chapter 650: Chapter 649: Advancing to Great Power (Part 1)
Pressure breeds power.
On the brink of life and death, Qin Feng’s potential erupted like a volcano. With a low roar, the last of the Chaos Heaven Origin within him surged into the Creation Altar like a mighty river.
The entire Creation Altar erupted with an unprecedented light.
The Cave Heaven Power skyrocketed. In an instant, the Cave Heaven True Power in Qin Feng’s body broke through the peak of the Middle Stage of the Nirvana Realm, soaring straight to the Late Peak.
A berserk power surged through him. Veins bulged all over his body like writhing Evil Dragons. A tangible silver light coiled around every inch of his skin like a wild dragon, and his figure began to radiate an incomparably brilliant power.
Qin Feng sank into a state of profound enlightenment. Every minute change within the Grotto Heaven was imprinted upon the depths of his True Soul.
The very Dao of a Grotto Heaven’s evolution contains the deepest principles of the universe, embodying the evolution of the Heavenly Dao Laws. Layers of mysterious fluctuations enveloped his True Soul.
Qin Feng’s mind remained perfectly calm. Despite having entered an incomparably profound state, he actively sifted through the countless insights, searching for the Profound Mysteries related to the power of the Void Origin.
He then combined it with his own understanding. In an instant, countless ultimate principles of the Void were integrated, converging into a mystical power.
This was Law Power.
Law Power could only be condensed after one had thoroughly comprehended the true meaning of a single system, grasped a trace of the profound mysteries of the Celestial Dao’s operation, and fused it with an Origin.
This process should have been extremely slow. A Martial Arts Strongman’s mental capacity is finite, and most would be completely overwhelmed by the torrent of information, unable to process it all.
They could only passively absorb it all, remembering and understanding whatever they could. Most Martial Artists wouldn’t retain one-thousandth of it; the better ones might manage one-hundredth.
But Qin Feng was different. He took in all the countless Void Profound Mysteries at once and managed to remember about one-tenth of them—perhaps even a little more.
But just then, a pulse emanated from the Book of Space within him. Qin Feng’s speed at comprehending and condensing the ultimate principles of the Void instantly increased by an untold magnitude.
He devoured it all. In an instant, the vast amount of information regarding the Void Profound Mysteries transformed into a clear stream that Qin Feng completely absorbed and understood.
BOOM!
Just then, a vast and powerful ripple spread from the Void, and a sea-blue scepter appeared in the palm of the Sea Demon Queen.
"That’s the Sea Demon Clan’s Innate Divine Ability, the Sea Emperor Vortex!" Leiyun True Monarch’s face fell.
"Oh? So True Monarch Leiyun recognizes this Innate Divine Ability?" A delighted smile touched the corners of Long Jun Nian’s mouth.
’Once Qin Feng is dealt with, everything he owns will be mine, including Honglian!’
"The Sea Emperor Vortex, the Innate Divine Ability of the Sea Demon Clan, is legendary! Of course I recognize it! It’s an Innate inheritance exclusive to their pure-blooded Imperial Race. The Sea Emperor Vortex can dissolve anything. Any Grotto Heaven struck by this power will simply melt away. Even True Artifacts are liable to be corroded and dissolved by it! I can only imagine the power it holds when wielded by the Saint Level Sea Demon Queen!"
Leiyun True Monarch’s expression was extremely grave.
The Cloud Lake Sea Demons were influential even across the Ten Great Spirit Domains. This was especially true for their Queen, whose beauty was said to be unmatched in the Ten Domains, earning her a place as one of its ten greatest beauties of a past era. The Sea Emperor Vortex was her signature Divine Ability!
Just then, an incredibly mystical radiance burst from the scepter, streaking toward the Grotto Heaven like a meteor.
’Qin Feng is dead for sure!’ At that moment, everyone present felt their nerves unconsciously relax.
Long Jun Nian was already beginning to smile!
Just as Qin Feng reached the critical moment of his transformation within the Grotto Heaven, a Profound Light suddenly erupted from his body. Simultaneously, the entire Grotto Heaven collapsed like a deflating balloon, shrinking into a tiny speck of dust before vanishing on the spot.
He had completed his final transformation, and the Grotto Heaven had become one.
Having fused with the original Chaos Heaven Cave Heaven and inherited its legacy, this Grotto Heaven unstoppably broke through into the realm of a Medium-sized Cave Heaven.
"Oh no! That’s Plane Derivation! That’s an ability only a Medium-sized Cave Heaven has!" Long Jun Nian froze, stunned.
Long Jun Nian cried out in horror, "How is this possible?"
Silently, a speck of dust appeared behind the Sea Demon Queen and rapidly expanded. The entire Grotto Heaven, now seemingly fused with Qin Feng, took on a humanoid form.
"Sea Demon Queen, you’re dead! Did you all really think you had me cornered? You underestimated me! I only acted meek and kept retreating because I needed to complete the most crucial stage of my transformation. Now my Grotto Heaven is whole! You, the famous beauty of the Ten Domains, have nowhere to run! You wanted to destroy my future and steal everything from me? Well today, I’m going to capture you and turn you into my slave! I’ll make you live in a state where you’re begging for a death that will never come, and I’ll utterly humiliate Gong Ao in the process!"
"Damn it!"
The Sea Demon Queen’s face paled as she tried to retreat, but it was too late.
Qin Feng transformed again. He became a Grotto Heaven spanning 1,200 li, which descended with a deafening roar, instantly enveloping the Sea Demon Queen and dragging her inside.
In the depths of the Grotto Heaven, Qin Feng stood upon an altar, a cold sneer on his face as he watched the Sea Demon Queen appear before him.
His hands formed a Seal Technique, and five Divine Mountains rose to prop up the heavens and suppress the land. In an instant, their five terrifying powers linked together, forming a vast and imposing Mystic Array.
KRAK!
With a downward press of Qin Feng’s hand, the Sea Demon Queen felt an immense weight bear down on her, as if a thousand Divine Mountains were crushing her. Her eyes turned cold and sharp as a sea-blue Divine Light erupted from her body, forming an endless path.
This was her Saint Path.
She intended to use her pure, Saint Level Sea Law to break the suppression of the five Divine Mountains and tear the Grotto Heaven apart from within.
"Sea Demon Queen, you’re being too naive. A Martial Arts Saint Level Sea Law is certainly powerful, but it’s nothing before a Medium-sized Cave Heaven! A Medium-sized Cave Heaven already has Plane Derivation; you could even call it the prototype of a Divine Demon Realm. What’s more, my Grotto Heaven is anchored by numerous Spiritual Roots. Your Saint Dao, less than a hundred li long, is laughably weak! Today, you are destined to become my slave!"
Qin Feng let out a sinister laugh. Stamping his foot on the Creation Altar, he commanded the entire Grotto Heaven with his will, transforming it into a virtual Chaos Divine Mountain as he executed the Mountain Embrace Seal to its absolute limit.
The weight of the entire Grotto Heaven pressed down, causing the Sea Demon Queen to stagger.
’Damn it, how did he manage to form a Medium-sized Cave Heaven?! It should be impossible, even with that many Spiritual Roots! Even Saint Kings or Great Saints aren’t necessarily capable of creating a Medium-sized Cave Heaven!’
The Sea Demon Queen’s expression was grave as she searched for a flaw. ’A Medium-sized Cave Heaven may be powerful,’ she thought, ’but he might not be able to control it perfectly.’
’I just need to find an opening. Not only can I kill him, but I might even be able to seize this Medium-sized Cave Heaven for myself!’
However, she was to be disappointed. While it was true that Qin Feng’s True Soul couldn’t fully control the Grotto Heaven, he possessed the Abyssal Demon Map, along with the knowledge and experience from his past life. With these, he had minimized any flaws in his control to the point that they were far beyond a Saint’s ability to perceive.
But she was no amateur. Her brow furrowed, and a sphere of water appeared in her palm.
A miniature Void Annihilation Dragon King roared in fury from within the sphere. The Queen poured her power into it. The next moment, the sphere swelled explosively, and the entire thing, along with the Void Annihilation Dragon King it contained, detonated.
The power from the self-destruction of a Quasi-Saint Level Holy Beast was immense, no less than a full-powered strike from a Saint. The entire Grotto Heaven trembled violently, and the flow of energy among the five Divine Mountains grew sluggish. Seizing the opportunity, the Sea Demon Queen flashed forward, appearing right in front of Qin Feng. A world-shattering power tore through the air, aimed at his complete annihilation!
