Volume 80 — The Ultimate Challenge
The Obsidian Root Palace blazed like a celestial storm, petals of the First Bloom spinning violently, energy currents interweaving with Lin Feng's aura, artifact, hidden force, entity guidance, and the primordial force. The fourth secret had transcended every boundary, yet a new presence emerged—a threat unlike any before, a being whose power rivaled the combined essence of the palace and the primordial force.
Caiyi's eyes widened, awe and fear mingling. "Lin Feng… its aura… it's… impossible! Even the fully integrated fourth secret might not be enough!"
Lin Feng's gaze was resolute, aura blazing like a sun. "Exactly. This is the ultimate test—the culmination of every skill, every force, every secret we've mastered. Peach Spirit… full synchronization. Every current, every pulse, every subtle thread… align perfectly."
Host, the Peach Spirit whispered, this entity challenges even the primordial force. Its energy warps reality, tests perception, and resists influence. Only by mastering every layer of the fourth secret in absolute harmony can you survive this encounter.
The threat surged forward, warping space, tearing through the palace's defenses, and sending waves of destructive energy outward. Lin Feng extended his hands, petals spinning faster than ever. Streams of hidden force, artifact energy, palace currents, entity guidance, and primordial force converged, forming a shield of unparalleled stability.
Caiyi moved alongside him, perfectly synchronized. "It's… like you're not just defending… you're shaping the battlefield, controlling the flow of energy itself!"
Lin Feng's eyes glimmered. He harmonized perception, influence, control, and primordial energy into a singular, transcendent stream. Every destructive pulse was redirected, every distortion stabilized, and every threat neutralized before it could take effect. Mountains rose to reinforce the palace, rivers redirected spiritual currents, and even distant cultivators were subtly guided to align with his strategy.
"This… is beyond mastery," Lin Feng murmured. "Not just power, not just influence… but true command over existence itself. The fourth secret has reached its ultimate form."
The palace pulsed in cosmic resonance, petals spinning like a supernova, acknowledging Lin Feng's unparalleled mastery.
Caiyi whispered, awe-struck, "Lin Feng… nothing… nothing can oppose you now."
Lin Feng's gaze burned with determination. "Then we move forward… there are still mysteries the ultimate force has yet to reveal—and we will uncover them all."
