CHAPTER 686: CHAPTER 411: STRENGTH SOARS

On that day, the gray-black flying device broke through the clouds and departed.

The red maple leaf emblem disappeared from sight, and Chen Feng withdrew his gaze, roughly guessing the complicated thoughts of Han Chao and the others.

The super giant enterprise has an immense scale, involving countless people and exerting significant influence.

Therefore, no one truly hopes for the worst-case scenario of collusion with foreign enemies to occur.

"A tumultuous season..."

Shaking his head privately, Chen Feng suppressed the fluctuations in his heart and looked at the two Origins of Life on the table.

The emerald green liquid was close to cyan, with slightly shimmering silver dots hidden like a rain of stars.

Without further delay, he quickly picked them up and consumed them one after another.

Gulp!

The icy liquid flowed into his stomach, and he sat cross-legged smoothly, operating the key points of the Awakening Method.

Warm currents split and dispersed, flowing into the lower abdomen where the Dantian was located.

The sacred flame of red gold color was thus nourished, visibly becoming more solid and robust.

Immediately afterward.

The panel appeared, with progress data constantly changing.

[Holy Awakening Method: Sixth Order (47%...48%....49%....)]

....

"Something’s abnormal, the data is fluctuating!"

"Quick, inject the serum!"

"No, the gene cell energy is in disorder..."

In the underground laboratory, voices arose one after another.

The silver-gray metal walls reflected the incandescent light from the ceiling, and shadows passed hurriedly back and forth.

Various precision instruments were in operation, with several huge blue light screens suspended mid-air, continuously displaying lines of soaring data.

"What’s happening?"

Secretary Liu frowned and asked, surrounded by several security personnel, all looking toward the center of the laboratory.

Inside the huge glass container were various energy liquids, but the most striking was the scarlet mass soaked within.

Clearly blood, yet extraordinarily solid.

Veins were clearly visible, and every wriggle emitted a peculiar sound, like the beating of a heart.

This was the reason why the special serum delivered by black cables was being repelled and diffused, unable to integrate.

"A small accident, that’s all."

In response to the inquiry, the refined woman in a white coat only smiled slightly, showing no sign of concern.

"After all, it is the legendary Super Ancient Creature Essence Blood, possessing extremely strong vitality."

"The fusion of martial artist’s blood will cause a certain rejection reaction, no need to panic..."

As she spoke, the repelled serum inside the glass container was injected again.

Though the rejection reaction remained strong, the fluctuations were gradually decreasing.

Strands of serum slowly merged into the essence blood, as the abnormal data on various precision instruments and blue light screens began to decline.

At the same time, a cylindrical metal instrument rose from the ground, vaguely housing a massive naked body, beginning to be connected by various cables.

Seeing this, Secretary Liu finally relaxed his brows, gently pushing his gold-rimmed glasses.

"How soon can it succeed at the latest?"

"You should know how much the boss values the results of this experiment."

He asked seriously, clearly aware of Chi Bo Energy’s investment in this area and the unknown risks involved.

"Soon."

"I will give him a perfect explanation."

Smiling as she spoke, the woman in the white coat named Manager Feng had an exceptionally calm tone, as if everything was under control.

Secretary Liu gave her a deep look, then left the center of the laboratory with his entourage.

Along the way were gray metal walls and incandescent lights, during which he could be seen whispering instructions to the security personnel at his side.

"Watch her."

This kind of forbidden experiment cannot leave too many people in the know.

At least in terms of freedom, Chi Bo Energy must have absolute control, just in case.

Furthermore, for some reason,

pushing his gold-rimmed glasses, he glanced back at the increasingly distant woman in the white coat.

"Always feel something’s off..."

The thought flashed through, and Secretary Liu finally left the place.

The clattering footsteps echoed noisily on the metal floor, with the woman named Manager Feng standing with her back to the laboratory’s exit passage.

As if standing peacefully, yet as if aware of the previous gaze from the other.

"Hehehe."

A strange smile suddenly spread across her face as she watched the writhing blood in the glass container.

Scarlet gleams flickered in her eyes, seemingly both fanatical reverence and intense anticipation.

....

[Holy Awakening Method: Burning Universe·Day Realm (1%)]

The next morning, in the courtyard of the Flame Tiger Sect.

After a whole night of transformation, the panel in front of Chen Feng finally settled.

"Didn’t expect it would take so long."

He thought that the breakthrough of the Holy Awakening Method would, like other Awakening Methods, not take too long.

However, it ended up taking an entire day and night.

This inevitably reminded him of the previous transformation of the Holy Shield Giant, absorbing the Power of Earth Veins for the second time.

Even if it was only a half-step away from the level of the Lie Dingshi, it was still challenging to advance easily.

The thought flashed by, and Chen Feng finally looked at the new information on the panel before him.

"Burning Universe·Day Realm...."

It was entirely different from any previous Awakening Method.

It was no longer displayed by rank but had reached a special level.

"Burning Universe should be at the Angel Level, comprising the Sun, Moon, and Star Realms...."

"Corresponding to the levels of Lie Dingshi, Lower-Rank Envoy, and Upper-Rank Envoy respectively."

Without much surprise, Chen Feng recalled the key points of the Holy Awakening Method he observed earlier through the second small statue.

Although he only obtained fragments of the first two layers, he knew all the realms of this key point.

"It can be practiced to the level of the Upper-Rank Envoy."

"No wonder the original ones of the Holy City can protect part of humanity from the threat of Evil God Angels."

Chen Feng inexplicably thought of the ancient rumors he learned previously in the Snake Spirit Secret Realm, about the origins and history of the Holy City.

That was part of the heritage inherited from the Ancient Tado Empire.

And the Upper Angels.

Even the terrifying source of the Black Tide, the Evil God Angels, part were only at this level.

For a moment, he found himself somewhat eager to obtain the complete key point of the Holy Awakening Method early.

And before that.

Hoo!!

Exhaling a deep breath of impure air, Chen Feng finally suppressed the emotional fluctuations brought on by the breakthrough.

With a slight perception, he could clearly feel that he had officially stepped into the Angel Level.

He truly became a Martial Artist of the Envoy Level.

And the greatest change in all of this comes from that mass of Red Gold Fire Seed within the Dantian.

It’s no longer in the shape of flames.

Or more accurately, after undergoing transformation, it has become a blazing sun.

Like a spherical meteor fireball, suspended in the Dantian.

Surrounded by burning flames, seemingly peaceful, but could unleash a terrifying power at any moment.

This is the complete transformation of the Life Seed, condensing all the Essence Qi into form.

Not only can it lock all the body’s strength, but it can also gain a more astonishing explosive power in an instant.

Buzz!!

Suddenly, Chen Feng spread his palm.

The Red Gold Sunset floated in the hand, a highly compressed force.

The cracking sound of the air bursting echoed, with intense heat scorching everything.

If someone were to stand outside the house and look, they’d see the surrounding space inexplicably distorted, that’s the incredible heat burning the air, refracting the light.

The floor and ceiling began to blacken, and the porcelain in the room gradually melted.

Clearly, without any touch, just a simple leakage of power could destroy the surrounding environment remotely.

"This Burning Cosmos Power, even the solidity of Rainbow Iron Level items can slowly melt."

"Even a Force Field Shield, or an Energy Beam, can be burned."

Satisfied, Chen Feng finally withdrew the force in the shape of a sunset in his hand.

The crackling sound of burning vanished, as the Burning Cosmos Power that seemed like fire became unusually restrained.

Sizzle!

Immediately, wisps of white vapor seeped from the floor and ceiling, caused by the sudden drop in temperature from the incredible heat.

The melted porcelain on the tea table solidified into bizarre shapes, Chen Feng nodded as he looked, seeing the floor turned black.

Crack!

With a casual move, the wooden floor shattered into pieces, clearly damaged by the high temperature earlier.

For this, Chen Feng’s eyes flickered lightly, without rushing to order repairs for the courtyard house.

Instead, he withdrew the power and looked at the panel before him.

[Strength: 100→102]

[Agility: 92→94]

[Constitution: 102→105]

[Will: 94→97]

"A 10-point increase in attributes."

This is the benefit brought by the transformation of power.

The Burning Cosmos Flame refined him thoroughly from top to bottom.

It seems minor, but each attribute increase for Chen Feng now is extremely difficult.

"My strength should be approaching six thousand tons."

Clenching his fist, Chen Feng could roughly perceive his current strength.

Even in a normal state, he has nearly six thousand tons of explosive power, if resonating with the world, using Golden Day Skill to stimulate the body, his strength would increase significantly more.

Moreover.

Perhaps it’s an illusion.

Or because this breakthrough gave him some validation.

He inexplicably felt a resemblance to the second transformation of the Holy Shield Giant.

"The Holy Shield Giant used the Power of Earth Veins to gain enhanced energy, transforming its origin power."

"And I took the last half step forward by leveraging the transformation of power."

Chen Feng felt he grasped something.

It should be the reason for the vast gap between the three realms of Angels.

Or perhaps, the key to breaking through the Angel barriers and reaching a higher realm.

He hadn’t seen similar records in Qinggang City, not even mentioned in the memory images of the Skill Light Group.

"It should be because those owners of the light groups never broke through to Angel Level, hence didn’t leave relevant insights."

"And the strongest of them eventually became the Civilization Fire Seed, slumbering in the Heroic Spirit Hall..."

His eyes flickered, Chen Feng felt increasingly compelled to expedite the collection of Divine Attribute Fragments.

In the end, silently noting this matter and properly adapting to his power transformation.

Only then did he step out of the courtyard house, instructing the disciples to clean and repair well.

"Yes, Senior Brother."

The disciples stationed nearby nodded, upon entering the room, were somewhat stunned by the burning and solidified scene.

Zhao Jushan, who came, also glanced twice from outside the courtyard, secretly shocked.

"Looks like Junior Brother Chen has broken through again."

Sighing internally, he didn’t inquire further.

The matter of kung fu practice is deeply personal, Chen Feng didn’t offer much explanation, only walking step by step toward the main gate of the school, casually glancing at a courtyard house.

"Hasn’t Iphia awakened yet?"

In his perception, the woman from the Platinum Federation still lay unconscious on the wooden bed, her breath weak but stable overall.

"Not yet, probably her spirit was impacted, might take a few more days to recover."

Zhao Jushan quickly said, having specially invited a professional physician to check during the healing process.

Hearing this, Chen Feng became thoughtful.

"Did others from other Martial Arts Sects encounter similar attacks?"

He has been puzzled about the situation with Iphia and Kemode, unable to determine whether it was Chi Bo Energy’s doing.

Because he still remembered, the Batman from the Church of the Dead who attacked the school once mentioned that these martial artists were the most suitable sacrifices for blood rituals.

"No."

Zhao Jushan shook his head, said solemnly: "After the final transmission conference, I inquired with other martial arts sects that left, and they all safely returned to their territories."

Oh?

Slightly squinting his eyes, Chen Feng’s speculation flashed again.

If someone truly targeted the martial artists, like the Evil God Church, or for forbidden martial arts research like Chi Bo Energy would.

They shouldn’t ignore other martial artists.

Disregarding those below Extreme Realm...

Or am I overthinking it?

Chen Feng pondered, in the end, asking no further.

His perception continued to sweep, noticing Selin and Yang Wudi, among others, still residing temporarily in the school.

They also felt that the attack on Iphia was too suspicious, hence stayed temporarily these days, waiting for her to awaken and understand the situation.

Without disturbing them, Chen Feng found it rather fortunate these people stayed here, serving as free security for the Flame Tiger Sect.

Because....

Tap tap!

With his steps, he walked to the school’s main gate.

The previously arranged black car already parked there, he was going down the mountain.

After all, having promised the military’s request, he naturally needed to head to the city just in case.

And, if not mistaken.

Based on what True Inheritor Lin Xiaoyun informed, Chen Yun should be arriving in Nanjiang today.
