Chapter 885: Continuing to Break Through, the Eighth Divine Palace!

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

A wonderfully strange sensation rippled through Chen Fei’s body.

Chen Fei could finely perceive everything around him.

Previously, although he could sense the internal workings of his body, it was never with such detail. The manipulation of his energy, spirit, and soul had also never been so fluid.

It wasn’t so much about speed; rather, it was that all the barriers between his energy, spirit, and soul had been opened, resulting in a smooth and seamless flow.

A smile unconsciously appeared on Chen Fei’s face. Opening his eyes, he grabbed another Profound Lifting Fruit and continued consuming it.

With Chen Fei’s current combat strength and his new talent, he was more than capable of defeating She Mingchuan and the others.

However, since he could continue to strengthen himself, Chen Fei naturally had no reason to stop.

Reaching the peak of the Mountain Sea Realm, attacking the Shadow Island would only become easier.

When those around Chen Fei saw that he had started consuming the Profound Lifting Fruit, they understood that he had finished dealing with the seventh Divine Palace.

In contrast to Chen Fei’s rapid progress, Zhu Xiaowen and his companions were still comprehending the talent within the seventh Divine Palace.

Even with the use of materials to enhance comprehension, their progress was still much slower compared to the straightforward approach of the Myriad Clone.

According to the pace of the sect’s secret art, Zhu Xiaowen and the others would gain one talent for each Divine Palace starting from the seventh.

However, to gain a new talent, they had to fully comprehend the previous one.

Given their current speed, it was estimated that in twelve hours, they would only manage to comprehend half of the eighth Divine Palace’s talent before needing to stop.

At most, Zhu Xiaowen and the others could use the remaining time during Chen Fei’s turn on stage to practice.

The immense medicinal power of the Profound Lifting Fruit spread throughout Chen Fei’s body. He circulated the Nine Heavens Stellar Technique, integrating this power to begin forging the eighth Divine Palace.

Just like the forging of the seventh Divine Palace, the process of forging the eighth Divine Palace flowed smoothly, without any obstacles or barriers.

In less than half an hour, the eighth Divine Palace trembled slightly and was completed.

Chen Fei’s soul once again rose from his body. Using the talent of Unblemished Divine Vision as an arrow, he tore through the barrier of the void and stepped inside.

Chen Fei looked up at the vast starlight ahead, leaped, and charged forward.

However, not long after taking off, Chen Fei’s expression shifted.

It seemed that with the addition of Unblemished Divine Vision, Chen Fei found his control over his soul to be more refined.

The result of this was that the consumption of his soul during flight was significantly reduced.

Considering the distance Chen Fei needed to cover and the new talent as propulsion, the final distance covered would be quite noticeable.

After passing through numerous light clusters and using up 20% of his soul, Chen Fei arrived at the Heart of Sincerity.

He glanced at the Heart of Sincerity and continued flying forward.

The Heart of Sincerity had to be chosen, but just like last time, Chen Fei wanted to see what other talents lay beyond the void.

After consuming another 10% of his soul, Chen Fei arrived at the four talents of the Metal Slash.

With only 30% of his soul consumed in total, he still had the chance to see the talents further ahead.

Chen Fei moved forward, heading toward the void.

Darkness! Solitude!

It was uncertain whether it was Chen Fei’s illusion, but this stretch of void seemed to be more oppressive than the blank areas he had previously crossed.

“Buzz!”

A ripple spread through the void. Chen Fei had unknowingly entered a void region resembling a quagmire, causing his flight speed to slow dramatically.

Chen Fei furrowed his brows and looked ahead. He could faintly see a delicate barrier, and beyond it, numerous stars.

The sheer number of stars created a disorienting illusion for Chen Fei, making him feel as if he were back at the starting point.

“Is it time to break through my own limitations?” Chen Fei’s gaze shifted.

Each cultivator’s talent was quite different, as it resonated with the void from within their inner world, creating a unique spectacle.

Talent varied from person to person, but many talents were shared among humans, as they were all part of the same race.

At that moment, as Chen Fei approached the barrier, it was clear that he had already manifested all the talents he possessed within the void.

Crossing this barrier, Chen Fei would see talents not only from other humans but also from different races.

The void belonged to all the myriad races.

As long as one’s foundation was deep enough, it was no problem to adopt a monster race’s talent.

Chen Fei calculated the current consumption of his soul and the distance to the barrier, feeling slightly relieved.

The barrier was passable, and he still had the opportunity to see which talents the numerous stars ahead represented.

“Buzz!”

Another ripple passed over the barrier, and Chen Fei moved through it.

Without pausing, he flew directly to the nearest light cluster and reached out.

[Severed Tail: Total Sacrifice]

Voluntarily discarding all body parts except the head and torso, new ones could regrow after some time.

Chen Fei’s expression shifted slightly. This resembled a talent of certain monster races—severing a limb to survive.

Some monsters would sacrifice a front paw, detonating it for incredible offensive power.

If injured or limbs were severed, this talent could help gradually recover.

However, this talent held no significance for Chen Fei.

He withdrew his arm and reached into another light cluster.

[Great Strength: Strength Increase]

[Toughness: Defense Increase]

[Giant Growth: Body Enlargement]

These talents were all basic talents of other races. Chen Fei glanced around. With so many light clusters, he couldn’t examine them all in time.

After assessing his soul consumption, Chen Fei shifted his form and flew forward.

The number of light clusters began to decrease, with only three floating in the farthest distance. Beyond that, Chen Fei was too exhausted to reach. He had to examine these three light clusters before returning.

[Conceal Form: Conceal Breath and Shape]

Automatically concealed one’s presence, blending with the surrounding environment, causing nearby beings to subconsciously ignore one’s existence.

An interesting talent, but Chen Fei had no need for such a disguise.

[Ice Edge: Slow down]

Attacked the enemy, causing their movements to slow.

This resembled the abilities of ice-based techniques, but while ice techniques typically targeted the body, the Ice Edge talent targeted the soul.

It had a certain chance of disrupting the connection between the enemy’s soul and body, causing a slowing effect regardless of whether the enemy was injured.

This talent reminded Chen Fei of a particular monster beast.

However, this talent was not without countermeasures. As long as one’s soul was strong enough, the effect of such an attack would be minimal.

[Divine Metamorphosis: Death and Rebirth, Unbroken, Unestablished]

When gravely wounded and on the brink of death, one would fall into a state of suspended animation. After some time, this state would end, wounds would heal, and strength would increase.

Chen Fei examined the Divine Metamorphosis talent and realized he had not heard of it appearing in any monster race, though it could belong to another race.

This talent, under the right circumstances, could significantly enhance one’s strength in a short period, provided one had a strong backing and good fortune.

One could bring themselves to the brink of death, enter suspended animation, and, if they survived, experience a boost in strength. However, if one didn’t survive, the outcome would be grim.

With proper care and critical treatment from others, the chances of survival would be very high.

Yet, without sufficient support, others might ensure that one truly perished while in suspended animation, turning one to dust.

The limit for using Divine Metamorphosis was nine times, and surviving all nine would result in dramatic changes in strength.

Unfortunately, Chen Fei would not choose this talent, as it essentially placed his life in the hands of others.

Chen Fei glanced at the distant void, realizing he had no time to explore other talents and would need to return another time.

He turned back, bypassed many talents, and reentered the barrier.

Moments later, Chen Fei arrived in front of the Heart of Sincerity talent, grabbed the light cluster, and flew back to the starting position.

The Heart of Sincerity talent was essentially a super sensor for fortune and misfortune. Chen Fei, who had been obsessed with enhancing his defenses, sought precisely such security.

With the Heart of Sincerity, while it couldn’t guarantee absolute safety, it would at least provide early warning of significant dangers, allowing for timely responses.

Returning to the initial position, Chen Fei looked back at the stars behind him, holding the Heart of Sincerity, and left the void.

In reality, the eighth Divine Palace began to emit a brilliant light, and with the suppression of the talent, the immense power of the Divine Palace stabilized completely.

Chen Fei activated the Nine Heavens Stellar Technique. The eight Divine Palaces, connected by countless runes, worked in unison.

Compared to the peak of the Mountain Sea Realm, Chen Fei’s current foundational strength was only lacking one Divine Palace, so the gap was not substantial. When using the Nine Stars Convergence, he would surpass any peak Mountain Sea Realm cultivator.

Other late Mountain Sea Realm cultivators only had six Divine Palaces working together, while the remaining two palaces provided isolated power, incomparable to Chen Fei’s strength.

“Simplify!”

“Simplifying Talent Heart of Sincerity… Simplification successful… Heart of Sincerity — Tranquil Heart Technique!”

Chen Fei was slightly surprised by the result of the Heart of Sincerity’s simplification, which had been reduced to a foundational mental cultivation method from the Body Tempering realm.

Chen Fei picked up one of the Myriad Clones and burned it.

The insights related to the Heart of Sincerity appeared in his sea of consciousness, which he quickly absorbed.

Five hours later, as a dazzling light emanated from the eighth Divine Palace, the Heart of Sincerity reached full completion.

Chen Fei opened his eyes and sensed a wave of malevolent intent directed at him, with the strongest coming from Shadow Island.

Chen Fei stood up and turned to look at Pang Changping, the master of the Tianyang Sacred Land.

Pang Changping smiled slightly, and the Qianyuan Sword and Concealment Bell flew toward Chen Fei.

“Clang!”

As Chen Fei grasped the Qianyuan Sword, a clear, ethereal sword sound rang out, filling the surroundings with an overwhelming sense of killing intent.

“I’ll be back soon!”

Chen Fei made a gesture of respect to the Sun Moon Realm and the Monster Emperors, then leaped into the arena, looking up at Shadow Island.
