Chapter 638: Chapter 638: Vitality Fusion, Ye Feng’s Strength (Nine Updates)
“Not good! This is Vitality Fusion.”
“Xiao Cangtian has yet to enter the Quasi-Saint realm, yet he’s resorting to a Quasi-Saint method. Ye Feng is likely to lose!”
“It’s actually Vitality Fusion, sigh…”
The Heavenly Emperors present sighed with worry.
To ascend to sainthood in the Void Break Realm, there is fundamentally only one path currently, and that is… Vitality Fusion!
Normal cultivators refine the Spiritual Energy of the five elements: Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth.
To become a saint, one must sequentially fuse these five types of energies.
For example, if a Heavenly Emperor-level powerhouse fuses the energies of Gold and Wood first, then they can become a Quasi-Saint.
This stage is known as a One-Turn Quasi-Saint.
Then, by merging with “Water,” one can become a Second Turn Quasi-Saint.
Following that, by merging with “Fire,” one can become a Third Turn Quasi-Saint.
Finally, by integrating “Earth,” one can become a Four-Turn Quasi-Saint.
At this point, the five types of energies have been completely fused, standing on a stage infinitely close to the Saint Realm.
One only needs to overcome the final Saint Ascension Tribulation to achieve sainthood.
It’s worth noting that with each Vitality Fusion, one must survive a calamity. Including the first fusion, one must endure four World-Ending Heavenly Calamities and one Saint Ascension Tribulation.
Because of the immense difficulties involved, ascending to sainthood is as hard as reaching the heavens.
Many spend their entire lives without progressing beyond the Heavenly Emperor level, unable to even attempt merging energies.
Of course, to become a saint, it’s not necessary to specifically fuse the five elements of Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth, nor follow the sequence. Any fusion of five types of energies can result in sainthood.
The energies merged will affect the power one possesses after achieving sainthood.
Currently, Xiao Cangtian has selected two types of energies.
Those are the Primordial Ancient Dragon Bloodline and the Ancient Heroic Spirit Force. He has decided that when he first fuses energies in the future, he will completely integrate these two powers to become a One-Turn Quasi-Saint.
As for which powers he will merge later on, that will be decided when the time comes.
“Merge for me!”
Xiao Cangtian briefly fused the two forces, enduring an extremely terrifying pressure that nearly crushed him.
But in the end, he held on.
Behind Xiao Cangtian, a Golden Primordial Ancient Dragon stood proud, emanating an aura five times stronger than before!
If he were to become a true One-Turn Quasi-Saint and complete the fusion, the merge could increase his power tenfold!
However, as he was only performing a brief fusion, the full potential of his force couldn’t be maximized.
Yet even so, a fivefold increase was terrifying.
“Ye Feng, this strike is currently this young master’s strongest. Even a One-Turn Quasi-Saint would have to face it with all their might. I wonder if you can withstand it!”
The assault of the Golden Primordial Ancient Dragon could not be dodged.
It had locked onto Ye Feng’s soul aura, much like “Seven Steps to Heaven,” leaving no option but to forcibly resist.
“Is this Vitality Fusion? I’ve learned something new.”
Ye Feng nodded, acknowledging Xiao Cangtian, but his face showed no panic.
Vitality Fusion?
Does the regular state of Origin Qi count as Vitality Fusion?
Ye Feng pondered this to himself.
“It seems you have no idea how formidable Vitality Fusion is. You think you can dodge it? You’ll see what’s coming next!”
Xiao Cangtian roared, pushing with both hands.
The Golden Primordial Ancient Dragon behind him roared heavenward, soaring high into the sky, locking onto Ye Feng’s soul, and mercilessly bearing down on him.
“Sect Master Ye, be careful! This move locks onto the soul and cannot be dodged; concede quickly!”
The White Robe Heavenly Emperor warned loudly.
Xiao Cangtian’s strike was too terrifying!
Among those present, apart from a Quasi-Saint, no one could withstand it. Even though Ye Feng was a Body Cultivation Heavenly Emperor with an extraordinarily strong physique, this attack would either kill him or leave him severely wounded.
“It’s fine.”
Ye Feng shook his head and slowly raised his hands. The five types of forces on his body began to merge, entering the normal state of Origin Qi, instantly elevating his cultivation level several times above that of a Heavenly Emperor.
Then, he began to take steps.
“One Step Qi Refining, Cosmos Resurrection!”
Ye Feng invoked “Seven Steps to Heaven.”
As for the tenfold increase of Origin Qi Source, it seemed unnecessary to him.
Xiao Cangtian was simply not worth it!
Boom!
The violent Heavenly and Earthly Elemental Energy rushed in like mad, all pouring into Ye Feng’s body, causing his momentum to skyrocket.
“Seven Steps Heavenly Venerable, unrivaled in the universe!”
Due to his tenfold flow speed, his movements looked very fast. In the blink of an eye, he had taken seven steps.
“It’s Emperor Beihe’s “Seven Steps to Heaven”! Just like the rumors, you can exhibit the strongest power of this soul-locking Divine Skill. Truly, you are a heaven-endowed genius!”
Xiao Cangtian felt the frenzied aura emanating from Ye Feng and experienced a faint sense of palpitations.
Crack!
Ye Feng made his move!
His foot, as heavy as billions of galaxies, heavily stamped down. The Golden Ancient Dragon let out a mournful cry as it collapsed into two streams of energy, slamming into Xiao Cangtian’s chest.
Puh!
He spat out a large mouthful of blood and was sent flying backward.
“He lost, Xiao Cangtian actually lost!”
“Ye Feng isn’t just a Body Cultivation Heavenly Emperor; his cultivation level far surpasses that of a Heavenly Emperor. While executing “Seven Steps to Heaven”, his momentum was overwhelming, comparable to a One-Turn Quasi-Saint!”
“Hahaha, this is too exciting!”
The spectators were initially shocked but then burst into laughter, feeling a sense of exhilaration that washed away previous humiliations.
“Young Master!”
Bai Ji rushed over frantically, catching the ashen-faced Xiao Cangtian and quickly taking out an Upper Grade Healing Virtual Pill.
“No need!”
Xiao Cangtian pushed the elixir away, staring coldly at Ye Feng with his fists clenched tightly under his sleeves.
“Why? Why!”
He couldn’t accept it, nor could he understand it.
At the last moment, why did Ye Feng’s cultivation level suddenly increase multiple times? If not for that, even if Ye Feng perfectly executed “Seven Steps to Heaven”, he wouldn’t be his match.
“I am stronger than you; that’s the reason.”
Ye Feng couldn’t be bothered to explain any further, slowly turning around, “You’ve lost, go back where you came from.”
With that said, he walked towards the people from the Misty Sect.
His steps were light, the aura around him gradually diminished until he returned to a state that seemed like a normal person’s.
But, even without any aura exuding from him, Ye Feng’s mere presence gave everyone the imposing sensation of facing a Primordial Divine Mountain.
“Terrifying!”
“Who would’ve thought, the leader of a small southern sect could be so immensely powerful.”
The crowd burst into discussion.
“You’re stronger than me… Puh!”
Xiao Cangtian pondered Ye Feng’s words, and after a long while, his anger surged, causing him to spew another mouthful of blood as he stumbled backward several steps, still being supported by Bai Ji.
“Young Master, shall we go back?”
Seeing his condition, Bai Ji felt a twinge in her nose. This was the first time Xiao Cangtian had been defeated, and the blow must’ve been severe.
The Quasi-Saint Protector came walking over, and whispered, “This person can temporarily fuse various types of energy; he’s not someone you can contend with now. To narrow the gap, you need to choose wisely which type of energy you want to fuse with in the future.”
“So that’s how it is!” Xiao Cangtian clenched his fist and yelled towards Ye Feng in the distance, “Ye Feng, you’ve won the battle today, but… mountains remain unchanged, rivers flow on. Once I return from my arduous cultivation, the next time we meet, the defeated one will be you!”
Whoosh!
Xiao Cangtian and the other two tore through the void and disappeared.
“To think the self-confident Xiao Cangtian would admit defeat of his own accord?”
“Hiss… A miracle indeed!”
All the cultivators present turned to look at Ye Feng, casting complex glances of admiration, shock, fear, and bitterness.
Clang!
The Heaven-reaching Purple-gold Spear excitedly revolved around Ye Feng, like a dog returning in triumph.
“Hmph!”
Ye Feng snorted lightly and stretched out his hand to knock on the spearhead of the Heaven-reaching Purple-gold Spear with his knuckles as a form of reprimand.
This creature had high spiritual intelligence and was also very mischievous. If not properly disciplined, it could easily cause trouble later on.
“Ladies and gentlemen, until we meet again some day!”
Ye Feng paused, turned back to give everyone a slight smile, then used the Space Great Shift Formation to vanish along with the people from the Misty Sect, leaving everyone with endless conjectures.
After that day.
The news about the battle between two top Heavenly Emperors in Jiaoyang Holy City spread with wings, at an incredibly fast speed.
Not just throughout the entire Jiaoyang Holy City, but even the eight other Great Holy Cities, hundreds of Five-Star Forces, and even the Five Great Forbidden Zones and the previous nine mountain ranges were all abuzz with news about Ye Feng.
For a time, the whole world was in shock!
