Chapter 703: The Opening of the Seventh Domain
That voice came from the Virtual Domain projection, “The restoration progress of the Virtual Domain has reached 50%, an increase of six percentage points. The Seventh Domain—the Virtual Domain—has opened.”
Hearing this, Ye Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief. The opening of the Seventh Domain meant that, with his authority, he could obtain all resources within it for free. Since his authority pertained to the Eighth Domain, all items in the Eighth Domain were available free of charge. In other words, he could directly acquire the other martial arts techniques from the Virtual Domain.
“As a reward for the completion of restoration, please choose between the Supreme Privilege, the Ultimate Comprehension Privilege, or the Ultimate Bestowal Privilege,” the Virtual Domain offered.
“I choose the Ultimate Bestowal Privilege!” Ye Feng was momentarily stunned before quickly responding.
“Congratulations, Domain Lord! You have received the Ultimate Bestowal Privilege twelve times!”
“Since you assisted in opening the Seventh Domain, you are granted the Supreme Privilege ten times as a special reward!”
Ye Feng checked his privilege panel. The count for the Supreme Privilege had risen to 18, while the count for the Ultimate Comprehension Privilege remained unchanged at 58. The Ultimate Bestowal Privilege count had increased to 15. There were many other privileges as well, but almost none exceeded ten uses.
“As an additional reward, all of your Virtual Treasures will be upgraded to the highest level of Virtual Treasure for free,” the Virtual Domain projection said, making Ye Feng even happier.
It wasn’t long before all his Virtual Treasures, including the Sky Ring, were upgraded to the highest level.
“I need to use the free privileges to obtain the Fast Sword Technique, the Shadow Step Technique, and the Piled Fist Technique,” Ye Feng then stated his requests.
“The exchange was successful. All three techniques have been stored in your storage cabinet,” the Virtual Domain replied after a moment.
Ye Feng immediately retrieved the three techniques and once again entered the Refinement Domain. By now, the Refinement Domain was at the highest level of Virtual Treasure, and its time acceleration had increased by millions of times.
“Use one instance of the Ultimate Comprehension Privilege and one instance of the Ultimate Bestowal Privilege.”
Ye Feng took out the four techniques, including the Tyrant Blade Technique, and immediately sat in seclusion. Thanks to the acceleration provided by the Bestowal Privilege, it took less than an hour for him to master all four techniques.
It took nearly two days for Ye Feng to fully integrate all the techniques, bringing the martial arts, sword arts, and blade arts to a state of perfect mastery, while also forming three top-tier techniques at level 11.
With just over a day left, Ye Feng frantically pushed for the fusion of two of the elemental great powers—water and earth. However, by the time the moment of enlightenment arrived, the fusion degree of these two great powers was only just over ten percent, less than eleven percent. But something unexpected happened to Ye Feng: the original level of these two great powers should have been level nine, yet they suddenly broke through to level ten. Ye Feng immediately found a new direction for his cultivation. He had only intended to give it a try, but never expected it to succeed.
He used the comprehension privilege and the bestowed power privilege three times each, spending nine days to fully fuse these two great powers. As he had predicted, both were raised to level twelve, while the new combined water-earth great power reached as high as level eighteen.
Having tasted success, Ye Feng didn’t stop there. He activated the comprehension privilege and the bestowed power privilege again to fuse the wind great power with the water-earth combined great power. However, this fusion was not smooth; it was half as fast as the previous fusions. After using one privilege, it took three days to achieve only fifteen percent completion.
Ye Feng spent seven instances of the comprehension privilege and seven instances of the bestowed power privilege to complete the fusion. By then, the great powers of water, earth, and wind had all been raised to level fifteen, while the original water-earth combined power evolved into a water-earth-wind combined great power at an astonishing level of twenty-seven—truly terrifying.
Only then did Ye Feng stop the fusion, as he only had four more instances of the supreme bestowed power privilege left, which would grant him at most twelve days. Even if the fusion speed of the fourth great power didn’t slow down, he could only achieve sixty percent completion by then. This would be of little use, so Ye Feng chose to give up.
After leaving the cultivation realm, Luo Yan and Jin Wen could sense that Ye Feng had become much stronger. Though their cultivation levels were on par with Ye Feng’s, their understanding of great powers was not. Yet, Ye Feng’s own understanding could indeed accelerate their progress to some extent.
However, the moment Ye Feng appeared, several strange pressures came from afar.
Ye Feng raised his eyebrows slightly. One of those pressures belonged to the Chongzhen realm, while the other three were from the Xianzhen realm—clearly not from this world.
A moment later, those four people suddenly appeared before Ye Feng and the others.
At the forefront was a young man, the one who emitted the pressure of the Chongzhen Realm. The other three were burly men with thick muscles on their faces, clearly looking like thugs.
“Are you Ye Feng?” The young man glanced at Yin Ling’er and the others, snorting in disdain, clearly not taking them seriously, before turning to Ye Feng.
“I am Ye Feng. Who are you guys?” Ye Feng asked with a smile. It was obvious these four had come to stir up trouble, but he couldn’t figure out exactly why.
“Was it you who destroyed the Shangguan family in this Virtual Realm?” The young man snorted coldly.
Only then did Ye Feng realize it was Shangguan Junyi’s grandfather who had sent people to take revenge. “It was me. What’s the problem?”
“Hmph! What problem? You’re seeking death!” The young man became furious at Ye Feng’s dismissive attitude. He reached out to grab Ye Feng’s collar, only to find that Ye Feng had already seized his wrist. He tried to break free, but the grip on his wrist was like an iron clamp, preventing him from moving at all. He immediately realized he had hit a wall.
“Were you sent by the Shangguan family in the Real Realm?” Ye Feng increased the pressure, causing the young man to cry out in pain.
“Let… let go… This great lord… do you… know… who I am?” The young man tried to threaten Ye Feng, but it was clear he had chosen the wrong person, and he paid a heavy price soon after. With a crack, he felt severe pain in his arm—obviously broken.
“Still not talking?” The young man realized his other wrist had also been seized by Ye Feng at some point.
“I… I’ll tell you…” Finally frightened by Ye Feng’s tactics, the young man said, “I’m the son of the second elder of the Shangguan family in the Real Realm… Our clan leader said there will be a great reward for anyone who can avenge his grandson. An even greater reward if the murderer can be captured alive.”
“Is that so?” Ye Feng narrowed his eyes slightly and gave a signal to Luo Yan and Jin Wen behind him. The two immediately killed the three men in the Zhenjian Realm. The swift killing was clearly seen by the young man.
“You… you guys… are from the Upper Realm?”
“Go back and tell your clan leader that within ten days, I will have the Shangguan family in the Real Realm erased from existence!” Ye Feng said before throwing the young man away.
The young man fled without looking back…
