Volume 82 — Realms Beyond Existence
The Obsidian Root Palace shone like a supernova, petals of the First Bloom spinning in a blinding cosmic storm. Lin Feng hovered at its center, fully harmonized with the artifact, hidden force, entity guidance, primordial force, and the fourth secret—now evolved to touch the essence of life, death, and existence itself. Yet even this ultimate power could not fully prepare him for what lay ahead: realms beyond existence, where time, space, and reality were fluid, and beings older than the universe itself stirred.
Caiyi's eyes widened. "Lin Feng… these realms… they're not even real… yet they feel alive. Every thought, every heartbeat… it bends around you!"
Lin Feng's gaze hardened, aura blazing. "Exactly. The fourth secret has guided us through mastery, transcendence, and life itself—but now we must move into the absolute unknown. Peach Spirit… every current, every pulse, every subtle thread of influence… align with me perfectly."
Host, the Peach Spirit whispered, these realms defy comprehension. Entities here exist outside time, life, and death. One misstep could shatter your existence or erase your palace. Synchronization and absolute understanding are required.
A wave of reality-warping energy rippled outward. Lin Feng extended his hands, petals spinning faster than ever. Streams of hidden force, artifact energy, palace currents, entity guidance, and primordial force interwove with the very fabric of these realms. He subtly harmonized existence, aligning perception, control, influence, and the flow of life and death with the fluid patterns of reality itself.
Caiyi moved alongside him, perfectly attuned. "It's… like you're bending the rules of existence. Everything here… responds to your will!"
Lin Feng's eyes gleamed. He extended the fourth secret beyond the limits of the known universe, blending all forces into a singular stream of cosmic resonance. Petals spun like a celestial hurricane, energy flowing outward, stabilizing these chaotic realms while subtly guiding their currents and entities.
"This… is beyond reality itself," Lin Feng murmured. "Not just mastery, influence, or transcendence… but understanding the absolute essence of existence. The fourth secret has reached a realm beyond being and non-being."
The palace pulsed in cosmic resonance. Caiyi whispered, awe-struck, "Lin Feng… you're no longer bound by life, death, or reality itself."
Lin Feng's gaze burned with resolve. "Then we step forward… into the true infinite, where even existence itself can be understood and mastered."
