For those seven days, Chen Feng ate well and slept soundly each night. This house was truly an excellent defense against external threats. Numerous sea beasts, some reaching the Ninth Level, attacked the dwelling, yet Chen Feng inside felt not the slightest tremor or impact.
“Done!”
Chen Feng, who had been sitting cross-legged on the floor, suddenly opened his eyes, a flicker of surprise dancing within his gaze.
“Collect!” With a soft command, the house vanished from sight, merging seamlessly into his domain.
“Emerge!” With another crisp call, Chen Feng was instantly standing inside the room once more.
After seven days of refinement, Chen Feng had fully familiarized himself with and mastered the room. With a mere thought, he could step out of his domain and into the house, or directly return inside. The most astonishing aspect was that the structure of the house could scale according to the size of his domain!
This meant that if Chen Feng hid inside the structure, by contracting his domain, he could completely transform the house into a suit of armor that encased his body!
“This dwelling needs a name. Since I obtained it from the Temple of Light, let’s call it the Light God Mansion!” Chen Feng couldn't be bothered with complex names and casually settled on this title.
Having named it, Chen Feng retracted the "Light God Mansion" onto the surface of his body, causing it to manifest as a set of armor. He swam forward several tens of kilometers, feeling the rush of water against the ‘Light God Mansion,’ and a sensation of exhilarating lightness flooded his heart.
The armor formed by the ‘Light God Mansion’ was indistinguishable in feel from his protective battle armor; it in no way hindered his movements. If he wished to stop using it, he could simply revert it into part of his domain, merging it back into his core.
Why would the God of Light construct such a house in the spatial turbulence? And why, upon refining the crystal ball, could he integrate this house so smoothly into his domain? Unless he reached that higher echelon of understanding, pondering further was futile. If only he could awaken Elder Yan Long, that ancient being would surely know the lore behind it.
No Divine Beast crystal core in hand, I absolutely will not awaken him! Chen Feng secretly resolved.
He paused, standing motionless in the seawater.
Having refined and tested the ‘Light God Mansion,’ the most urgent task now was to deploy the Black Particle technique!
During the seven days spent refining the ‘Light God Mansion,’ his cultivation had advanced to the Second Stage Dou Zun. His Absolute Domain could now be deployed up to 30% strength even under extreme power discharge. Relying on his recent insights gleaned from the spatial turbulence, he was fully capable of practicing the technique now!
Closing his eyes, Chen Feng meticulously recalled the scenes of various elements intersecting and annihilating each other, sinking into deep contemplation.
“Hush… hush…”
A faint sound of rushing water drifted slowly from a distance, and a Nine-Tusk Demon Shark began to swim closer.
This Nine-Tusk Demon Shark was an Eighth-Level magic beast, having reached maturity many years ago. In human society, it would equate to a Sixth-Level Magic Tutor.
It spotted Chen Feng suspended motionless in the water from afar, its two eyes gleaming sharply.
Eighth-Level magic beasts possessed innate intelligence. In its eyes, Chen Feng was merely a Second Stage Dou Zun, posing no threat whatsoever. Furthermore, this location was its territory; for a Dou Zun expert to linger here without leaving seemed like an act of courting death!
Kill him to establish dominance! the Nine-Tusk Demon Shark thought inwardly.
Magic beasts possess strong territoriality. If an expert of comparable strength loitered within their domain, they would invariably seek a way to drive them out; otherwise, their status within the local hierarchy would be jeopardized.
The Nine-Tusk Demon Shark glanced around at the smaller magic beasts gradually circling them—these were its subordinates, ready to charge forward at a single command.
However, today, for the sake of establishing dominance, it decided to act personally, intending to slay this arrogant creature daring to trespass on its domain, while simultaneously aweing its followers!
Having made up its mind, the Nine-Tusk Demon Shark whipped its massive tail, its streamlined body cutting a wave through the water as it charged toward Chen Feng. Simultaneously, it gaped its maw, and a magic core spun within the water, instantly summoning an icy, chilling arrow nearby!
The ice arrow, carrying a spiraling vortex force, shot directly toward Chen Feng’s chest.
Eighth-Level Innate Magic—Frost Water Arrow!
Innate magic was several times more potent than standard magic of the same rank. Being underwater now, the Frost Water Arrow’s offensive power was further amplified, lending it greater menace.
Die! the Nine-Tusk Demon Shark roared internally as it saw Chen Feng remaining utterly still.
But just as it anticipated its Frost Water Arrow would effortlessly pierce the figure, the figure moved. Chen Feng extended the index finger of his right hand, his eyes radiating cold indifference. He tilted his spine slightly backward, remaining perfectly suspended in the water, and then his finger lightly tapped forward—(If readers are unclear about this posture, please reference the scene where the Orochi uses Black Particle)!
Thump…
There was no beam of light, no explosion of air, nothing at all. The rapidly advancing Frost Water Arrow simply detonated silently in the space before it!
What is happening? The Nine-Tusk Demon Shark could hardly believe such a bizarre event. However, just as doubt gripped it, the youth standing in the water extended a single finger and lightly tapped towards it.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Three sharp impacts landed successively upon its bulky body, immediately creating three massive, gaping holes, and blood instantly stained the surrounding seawater crimson.
The Nine-Tusk Demon Shark died without ever knowing the reason why. What was intended as a display of dominance ended with its own demise, dying for reasons it could not comprehend—an outcome utterly beyond the anticipation of a magic beast that had only just gained sapience…
The other magic beasts gathered to watch the spectacle, upon seeing this, scattered instantly, fleeing faster than the wind.
Chen Feng retracted his finger, meticulously recalling the Black Particle technique he had just executed.
“It has some power, but it’s still far inferior to the true Black Particle. When several elements collide simultaneously, they can generate spatial rifts. My current strength is still too weak. If that beast had deployed its domain earlier, I probably wouldn't have been able to kill it in a single blow.”
Although Chen Feng had killed a Nine-Tusk Demon Shark, he immediately analyzed his own shortcomings.
Through observing the spatial turbulence, he had discovered a secret: when the five elements—Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth—collided with each other’s energies simultaneously, they created spatial rifts, causing space to annihilate within a small area.
Although the energy elements within Chen Feng currently manifested in the form of Fire, given his ability to utilize moves from the KOF system that involved other attributes, it suggested he already possessed the foundation for all attributes. Moreover, upon advancing to the Dou Shi rank, he would be able to absorb various elemental powers. Thus, forcing him to release five attributes of energy simultaneously, while difficult, was achievable now.
It was precisely because of this consideration that Chen Feng rapidly transformed the domain power within his body into five distinct forms of energy, releasing them simultaneously through his fingertip, creating the Black Particle—the technique of spatial annihilation!
However, this single transformation placed an immense strain on his body. Chen Feng managed only two uses before completely depleting the domain power within him!
He deployed the ‘Light God Mansion,’ sat down inside cross-legged, and began recovering his strength. Three hours later, his strength fully restored, he retracted the ‘Light God Mansion,’ expanded his domain, and rushed toward the sea surface.
He wondered if Kozmo was still waiting outside. Although he couldn’t defeat Kozmo now, once shrunk within the Light God Mansion, it was impossible for the enemy to harm him!
Reaching the sea level, the sea breeze washed over his face, feeling indescribably fresh. Taking a deep breath, Chen Feng floated in the air. All around him was the boundless ocean, stretching to an unseen horizon. There was no sign of Kozmo. It seemed the man assumed he had perished in the waves and had long since departed.
The sea’s surroundings were uniform in color, offering no discernible direction. However, Chen Feng didn’t overthink things now. He expanded his domain and chose a direction, flying forward rapidly!
This was the time to hone his cultivation. Since he had explored most of the previous continent, perhaps it was time to visit the overseas continent.
In truth, Chen Feng had a vague feeling that Kozmo would eventually catch up to him, so the direction he chose now ultimately mattered little.
Three days after Chen Feng left his initial position.
Indeed, an unparalleled, imposing aura arrived from a distance, followed closely by Kozmo’s triumphant shout.
“Hahahaha, I told you, brat, no matter where you flee, I can track you down!”
Chen Feng halted his flight, looking up to see Kozmo materialize not far away. This time, Kozmo had come alone, accompanied by a middle-aged man whose complexion was rather dark.
The dark-skinned middle-aged man looked at Chen Feng and then turned to Kozmo, asking, “The person you’ve been chasing for so long without success is this youth?”
Kozmo’s old face flushed slightly as he replied, “This kid is peculiar. Don’t underestimate him, or he’ll slip away again, and then I won’t be able to report back to the Lord!”
The dark-skinned middle-aged man chuckled, “A mere Second Stage Dou Zun needs you to go to such lengths? You truly disgrace our Purple Garden Demon Territory!”
This statement was delivered without reservation, instantly turning Kozmo’s face green. “Reshil, don’t speak so harshly. Regardless, I successfully captured that Phoenix Clan girl. Go on, catch this youth yourself and show me if you can!”
“He captured Ling Feng?” Upon hearing this, Chen Feng immediately understood. But recalling how quickly the enemy had pursued him previously, he couldn't fathom where Kozmo had left the Phoenix girl.
Thinking this through, Chen Feng chided himself for his oversight. Since they were a powerful force from the overseas continent, why would Kozmo be sent alone to Tianfeng Academy to capture someone? He must have sealed Ling Feng in a barrier bubble and handed her over to his subordinates to be transported via a magic teleportation array. She was likely already within the confines of their territory!
A chill suddenly swept through Chen Feng’s heart. Given Ling Feng’s personality, she certainly wouldn't hand things over willingly. Conflict must have erupted between them, and that girl was likely in grave danger.
Previously, when he was powerless against someone as formidable as Kozmo, and given his relationship with Ling Feng wasn’t one where they’d sacrifice their lives for each other like Xiao Hu, he hadn't risked trying to rescue her. But now, possessing the ‘Light God Mansion,’ he no longer feared the enemy; he must find a way to save Ling Feng.
