Chapter 691: Ye Feng’s Decision
As soon as he entered the fusion state, Ye Feng noticed something unusual—the speed at which these divine powers were merging exceeded even the speed at which he could master a single power on its own, which seemed quite astonishing to him.
At that moment, the voice from existence spoke again, “Stop getting distracted with random thoughts. The blessing will amplify the effect of enlightenment by hundreds of times. Even if you were to merge just nine of the divine powers related to one of the basic elements, it would take at least a year or two to complete under normal circumstances. With the blessing’s enhancement, it can be done in less than a day. You still have seventeen days—not a second to waste.”
Ye Feng immediately focused his mind and fully committed himself to the fusion process.
Fire-based divine power—fusion completed.
Water-based divine power—fusion completed.
Thunder-based divine power—fusion completed.
……
Soul-based divine power—fusion completed.
Space-based divine power—fusion completed.
Martial arts divine power……
……
Eleven days passed, and all of Ye Feng’s divine powers had been fully merged.
The fusion of the five basic element powers created grade-9 great divine powers, while the fusion of light/dark powers and soul-based powers created grade-10 great divine powers. The fusion of space-based powers resulted in grade-12 great divine powers. However, since martial arts divine powers and others were still missing, his great divine powers were not yet complete.
During the remaining six days, Ye Feng didn’t idle away his time—he began practicing his divine techniques.
He raised all of his techniques from the eighth level to the twelfth level.
In fact, a grade-8 divine technique already had an attack power of 50 times normal, grade-9 was 100 times, grade-10 was as high as 1,000 times. The unpracticed grade-11 technique had a power of 5,000 times, and grade-12 reached 10,000 times.
These perfected divine powers began to spread automatically throughout Ye Feng’s seven miniature universes.
In an instant, Ye Feng sensed changes in those miniature universes.
“This is…” Ye Feng was stunned.
“After a divine power reaches perfection, it will gradually merge completely with the universes within the body, forming cosmic rules. The degree of fusion determines the strength displayed. Only when the fusion of a certain divine power reaches 100%, that is, when it reaches the level of perfection, can one enter a higher dimension,” the voice from existence explained further. “This can also be accelerated through enlightenment, but since your foundation isn’t solid, there’s no need to rush. Moreover, your Void Domain can provide opportunities for enlightenment. Use the last day to strengthen your foundation properly.”
“Yes, senior!” Ye Feng certainly knew that in just a few days, he had truly advanced from the Star Universe level to the Break Truth realm. It was no longer the fake cultivation level of before—it was a real one, with both the strength of his origin universe and his soul, as well as the strength of his body and the level of his true energy, all now at the Break Truth realm.
During the remaining day, Ye Feng sat cross-legged in place, fully immersing his soul and body in enlightenment and blessings.
The ten days outside finally passed, and the blessing clouds atop the tower gradually dissipated. Almost at the same time, Ye Feng felt a thread-thin strand of strange energy penetrate his body, soul, and the seven universes—just like when he received blessings last time.
“You little fool, you’re quite lucky to have even a trace of chaos energy in your body,” the existence suddenly said with a laugh.
“Senior, what exactly is this?” Ye Feng couldn’t help but ask.
“You’ll understand eventually. For now, just know it’s something good,” the existence replied before falling silent again.
Ye Feng stood up helplessly. The tower door finally opened, and he stepped out, feeling refreshed.
“What about your cultivation level?” The guests found it hard to believe, as they faintly sensed the pressure emanating from Ye Feng, which stirred an irresistible feeling in them—like a towering mountain standing in their way, impossible to overcome.
“It has improved,” Ye Feng nodded without further explanation. With his current strength, he really didn’t need to take these half-True Realm powerhouses in the Virtual Realm seriously. Still, basic courtesy was necessary.
The guests also nodded, having guessed that Ye Feng’s cultivation level might indeed surpass theirs. After all, even before entering the tower, he had been able to match Shangguan Junyi, who was in the True Realm. With further improvements, he was naturally beyond their reach. Since Ye Feng refused to reveal more, they didn’t dare ask insistently.
“You’ve grown so strong…” Long Tian was the only one who could discern Ye Feng’s cultivation level. Though he couldn’t detect it directly, he clearly remembered a similar sensation from his past memories—it was the aura of a miniature universe that had achieved four dimensions. This meant Ye Feng’s cultivation had reached the Break Truth realm, just one step away from entering a higher dimension.
“What level of cultivation have you reached?” The restless agitation and fear in the Hellish Butterfly within Pearl made her guess that Ye Feng’s strength had improved significantly, so she couldn’t help but ask.
“I happen to have something to discuss with everyone. Let’s talk about it back there!” Ye Feng nodded at the group.
After returning to the inn, Ye Feng gathered Long Tian and the others.
“Huh, where are Luo Yan and Jin Wen?” Xiao Bei couldn’t help but ask, as everyone else was there except for those two.
“They both have my life force within them. As my cultivation improves, theirs will too. So there’s no need to worry about that. I called everyone here today because I have something to say, and their presence or absence doesn’t really matter,” Ye Feng said with a nod.
“Is it that serious? What is it?” Zhuge Ling’er muttered softly.
“Well, as you must have seen in the competitions a few days ago, there was a woman named Situ Xuan in the guest seat. Xiao Yu has already told you about my relationship with her, so I won’t repeat it. This time, she’s being forced into marriage, and I must rush to the Void Realm as soon as possible to stop it. But most of you aren’t yet at a high enough cultivation level, so I’ve decided to take only those who are. I’ve chosen Luo Yan, Jin Wen, Yin Ling’er, Yin Ba, and Yin Hong.” As soon as Ye Feng said this, the scene fell silent.
“I’ll leave the Absolute Martial Ark and the Flowing Palace behind so that everyone can cultivate at a million times faster speed, and it will also ensure everyone’s safety,” Ye Feng continued.
“What if you can’t defeat them? How will you escape? Where will you hide?” It was again Zhuge Ling’er who asked this question.
“I forgot to tell you about my cultivation level. After this epiphany and the blessings from the main realm, my cultivation has reached the Break Truth Realm. Not to mention the Void Realm of a mid-tier main realm, even the True Realm of a high-tier main realm won’t be a problem for me. So there’s no need to worry about that,” Ye Feng explained.
“When will we set off?” Long Tian asked in the silence.
“In a few days, once Luo Yan and Jin Wen’s cultivation levels stabilize. With the million-fold acceleration from the Absolute Martial Ark, it shouldn’t take long for them to improve their cultivation,” Ye Feng replied.
“Be careful…” Pearl managed to force out a faint smile.

Where is the end of cultivation? The micro-universe is just a starting point…
