The moment the thought sparked, it became unstoppable. Chen Feng hadn't originally intended this, but the sheer implausibility of what he had just encountered today naturally gave rise to such notions.
He remained seated for a time, regulating his state, and cautiously extended his Domain to probe the spatial link. The Domain slipped through smoothly, advancing along the spatial tether without encountering any resistance.
If the Domain remained unharmed, then the person within it was naturally safe as well.
Chen Feng let out a breath of relief. Deploying his Wukong Shu (Sky-Dancing Art), he floated silently upwards. With a slight shift of his body, he plunged into the tether. Upon entering, he was instantly stunned by the scene before him.
The surrounding space dissolved into chaos. Spatial turbulence danced everywhere, and the energies of the various elements didn't blend; instead, they collided incessantly, causing space to tear and shatter in an instant.
Space was like fireworks constantly detonating, blooming in the void not far away.
Witnessing this spectacle, Chen Feng had no doubt that without the protection of the spatial tether, merely existing within that turbulence for a second would have shredded him into unrecognizable mince.
If space itself could fracture, could a living being survive?
"The destructive power of fractured space is truly immense…" Chen Feng murmured, a sudden flash of lightning crossing his mind, causing his whole body to tremble with excitement.
The black particles derived from his understanding of the Great Serpent had always remained unusable. First, his power was insufficient, and second, he had no innate sense for space itself; without feeling the spatial force or perceiving space, how could he utilize the Black Particles—a technique that relied on detonating space to harm an opponent?
But now, watching directly how the various elements crashed into each other until annihilation—how spatial debris flowed like water—a sudden, profound comprehension of spatial destruction dawned in his mind.
Chen Feng was certain that if he left now, even relying solely on the power of his Absolute Domain, he could absolutely unleash the Black Particles!
"Heaven-Rank Mid-Grade Dou Technique!" Chen Feng felt a surge of excitement. Being able to deploy the Black Particles proved his strength was about to ascend another level. While he still wouldn't match Kozmo in a direct confrontation, challenging opponents two or three levels above him would certainly not be difficult. If he added a surprise attack... his chances would soar!
The Black Particles didn't require the majesty of heaven and earth like magic, nor the might of Dou Qi like other Dou Techniques. By maximizing the power of the Absolute Domain, they could be released completely silently!
Whether used for a surprise attack or head-on, it was undoubtedly his best offensive weapon.
Although Ling Feng's Phoenix Dance of Nine Heavens was of the same tier—a Heaven-Rank Mid-Grade Dou Technique—one was single-target while the other was area-of-effect. In a one-on-one fight, Chen Feng dared to guarantee that the power of the Black Particles would be several times greater than the Phoenix Dance of Nine Heavens!
Calming the surge of excitement, Chen Feng followed the spatial tether downward. After traveling perhaps fifty meters, he spotted a room ahead and accelerated, plunging straight towards it.
This was a special chamber formed by these very spatial tethers. Inside this room, the swirling spatial turbulence outside was clearly visible.
Strangely, despite being situated within the chaotic currents, this room contained breathable air, perfectly adequate for respiration.
The room spanned over two hundred square meters, divided into six sections—if translated to his previous life’s terminology, it resembled a four-bedroom, two-living-room layout. In the center of the main hall upon entry sat a crystal sphere the size of a soccer ball, resting on a circular pedestal.
Seeing this crystal sphere, a thought struck Chen Feng, and instantly, he recalled an object. With a flick of his wrist, an identical crystal sphere appeared in his palm.
Chen Feng had acquired this sphere after causing havoc in the imperial capital of the Loki Empire and waking up in a daze to find it beside him. To this day, he didn't know why it appeared, but ever since that day, his body's recovery ability had surged, granting him the Undying Body of the Divine Race!
The two crystal spheres, placed near each other, competed in brilliance, emitting a faint blue light, as if drawn by some mutual attraction.
Chen Feng found it peculiar. He placed the sphere in his hand next to the other one, and an uncanny event unfolded: the two spheres began to slowly merge!
Yes, they were merging. The crystal sphere Chen Feng held was gradually assimilating itself into the other one!
"This... what is happening?" Chen Feng was momentarily stunned, a wave of shock washing over him. However, seeing that nothing else strange occurred besides the merging of the two orbs, he finally relaxed.
"As long as the Light God isn't behind this, it's fine," Chen Feng muttered.
The fusion of the two spheres proceeded slowly, taking nearly an hour to complete.
During this time, Chen Feng had surveyed the strange room. It was completely empty, lacking any furnishings, certainly not a place for habitation. If not for people, what was its purpose? And what was the objective of this crystal sphere?
Chen Feng racked his brain but could deduce nothing, so he stopped trying and sat aside, watching the merging process.
"Boom..." A beam of deep blue light suddenly erupted from within the crystal sphere; the fusion was finally successful.
Chen Feng stepped forward, and the blue light washed entirely over him.
The blue light felt warm upon his skin. Mysteriously, a puff of white mist rushed out from within his blood, carrying a thread of blood that escaped from the tip of Chen Feng's finger.
Chen Feng did not recognize this white mist, but it was precisely the Power of Faith that the old monster from the Loki Empire had painstakingly gathered for five hundred years!
Under the illumination of the blue light, this Power of Faith rushed toward the crystal sphere like moths to a flame. The blood carried within the white mist also splashed onto the sphere.
Upon contact with the blood, the crystal sphere slowly began to absorb it.
The blue light of the crystal, having absorbed the blood, instantly vanished, losing its attractive pull on the white mist within him.
But at that moment, Chen Feng froze, his jaw dropping in astonishment.
"I... I have actually contracted this crystal sphere..."
The instant the blood flowed into the sphere, an inexplicable piece of information flooded Chen Feng's mind: this crystal sphere was completely subdued by him and could be used at will.
This sensation was identical to how he had subdued the Heart of Slaughter!
This meant he could now conceal this crystal sphere within his Domain!
What exactly was the use of this sphere?
However, the mere fact that he could contract it indicated it was a treasure no less valuable than the Ming Yu Sword.
Suppressing his excitement, Chen Feng prepared to unfurl his Domain to draw the sphere inside, only to discover with frustration that the crystal sphere was fused with the room, inseparable from it.
"What the hell..." Chen Feng roared.
He thought he had acquired a treasure, but not only could he not take the treasure, but his own crystal sphere had merged into it too. If he left like this, wouldn't he be the one who suffered a loss?
"Why can't I take it if I've contracted it? Isn't that clearly trying to screw me over?" Chen Feng muttered, and a wild idea suddenly struck him.
If he couldn't take one crystal sphere, could he take the entire room?
Thinking this, Chen Feng was staggered by his own audacity.
This room could withstand the spatial turbulence. Even experts a level stronger than a Dou Saint would struggle to leave a scratch on it.
The more he considered it, the more compelled he became. Deploying the Wukong Shu, he instantly returned to the belly of the colossal statue. He spread his Domain and slowly extended it towards the room, taking control of the crystal sphere.
The room was only tens of meters from the statue's belly; Chen Feng’s Domain could easily reach it, requiring little effort. However, controlling an object comparable to the Ming Yu Sword from this distance was naturally more challenging.
After several failed attempts, Chen Feng was about to give up when a thought crossed his mind, recalling the strange reaction between the crystal sphere and the blood earlier.
"I don't know what the white mist in the blood is, but the crystal sphere absolutely loves it. Perhaps..."
With that, Chen Feng sliced his fingertip and, using the power of his Domain, slowly guided the blood containing the white mist towards the sphere.
The blood splashed onto the crystal sphere, and Chen Feng commanded his Domain, roaring, "Receive!"
A deafening roar echoed within the Domain, almost shattering him. But as he pulled with his full strength, the crystal sphere seemed to obey, and the entire room was instantly drawn into his Domain!
As soon as the room was drawn in, the chaotic spatial turbulence surged wildly, as if maddened. The ground shook violently under the impact of the currents. Chen Feng knew the location would collapse soon, so he dared not hesitate. Deploying his Domain, he shot out of the hole on the second floor and burst into the seawater!
"Boom!" Moving with all his might, Chen Feng streaked through the seabed like a sword beam. The massive temple beneath his feet began to crumble instantly, sinking forever into the deep ocean.
"Hoo... That was close!" Chen Feng let out a long breath, watching the collapsing temple beneath him as he swam toward the surface. He stopped about a meter below the sea level.
The raging winds outside must have subsided by now, but he wasn't sure if Kozmo was still around. For safety, he needed to assess his gains first.
His primary concern was checking if he could control the room he had pulled into his Domain.
He fully unfolded his Domain, and the transparent room instantly appeared before him. Chen Feng squeezed through the opening and, in the process, retracted the long, narrow spatial tether.
Inside the room, Chen Feng breathed the air, staring at the crystal sphere before him.
"It turns out this crystal sphere is the key to controlling this entire room!" Chen Feng now fully grasped the sphere's function.
He fully expanded his Domain, enveloping the crystal sphere at the center, and slowly began the process of refining it. Even though he had contracted the sphere, without refinement, it would be useless.
It was like taming a police dog; unless you spent time bonding with it, it wouldn't understand your gestures or perform optimally.
