Chapter 716: The Blood Sky Secret Realm

When Ye Feng mentioned this name, Wu Kuang and Nian Cangsheng’s expressions changed drastically. Naturally, they had seen the information contained in that iron plate, which described this secret realm in great detail. What impressed them the most was that the Blood Sky Secret Realm was one of the three most dangerous places in the higher principal planes, as well as a Hongmeng Secret Realm. Although it was only at an introductory level, under normal circumstances, only those who had cultivated a small universe within their bodies—first-level powerhouses—were qualified to enter. For those below first-level, the mortality rate was almost 100%.

“This is a Hongmeng Secret Realm. Though it’s at an introductory level, the risk for us is still too high,” Nian Cangsheng said, opposing the idea of going there. “According to the information, none of the powerhouses who entered from the real world have returned alive. Moreover, every time it opens, many high-ranking plane powerhouses enter to train, but less than half of them manage to come out alive.”

“I want to go and take a look. Anyway, we’re not going to die,” Wu Kuang argued differently. He loved places that pushed him to the edge of life and death. His cultivation method relied on extreme external stimuli to improve himself. In terms of talent, he was far inferior to Ye Feng and Nian Cangsheng, but his cultivation level was almost on par with theirs—thanks to this method. This was also the main reason he was chosen by the Immortal back then.

“I don’t think it’s very dangerous. I’m now a third-level powerhouse, and I’ve just made a major breakthrough in merging my divine powers. Even if it’s fifth or sixth-level powerhouses, I’m confident I can fight them,” Ye Feng said, wanting to go to this secret realm right away since its opening time was the nearest. “Besides, I have two companions who are also third-level powerhouses and are currently merging their divine powers. By then, the five of us will definitely be a formidable fighting force.”

“Two more third-level powerhouses?” Wu Kuang’s eyes lit up. “Did they come from a higher plane?”

“No, their cultivation levels were also just raised recently,” Ye Feng shook his head and summoned Luo Yan and Jin Wen.

“Master…”

“Boss, why did you summon us suddenly?” Jin Wen asked.

“You’ve both reached the third-level powerhouse level, right? How’s the merging of your divine powers going?” Ye Feng asked.

“After you achieved breakthrough, we also reached the third-level expert cultivation within three days. Since then, we’ve been focusing on merging divine powers,” Luo Yan said with a smile. “Not long ago, we sensed that the merging speed has accelerated again—probably not much slower than the speed of sudden enlightenment. We’ve successfully merged two types of great divine powers and have started on the third.”

“I’m the same. I estimate it won’t take long before I can merge all five basic elemental divine powers. With a little more time, if all seven elemental divine powers are fully merged, my level of great divine power will reach 63.” Jin Wen also seemed very eager as he spoke. “Our merging speed has increased again—could it be related to your divine power merging, Boss?”

“Probably,” Ye Feng nodded. “This is my elder brother, Nian Cangsheng, and my second brother, Wu Kuang. Get to know them!”

“Hello, elder brother! Hello, second brother!” Luo Yan and Jin Wen quickly greeted them.

“How about this? For now, practice in my elder brother’s Peak True Treasure Palace. There, time is accelerated by 100 million times—100 times faster than my Refinement Realm.” Ye Feng looked at the two of them. “In about 18 days, I’ll summon you again to go to a secret realm with the three of us. Time is running out, so hurry up and merge your divine powers.”

“18 days should be enough. With 100 million times time acceleration, that’s over 4.93 million years,” Luo Yan nodded.

“Merging five great divine powers shouldn’t be a big problem, but I’m not sure if it’s enough to merge seven,” Jin Wen nodded and smiled.

Their conversation made Nian Cangsheng and Wu Kuang feel ashamed. Even Nian Cangsheng, with his extraordinary talent, might not be able to merge two great divine powers in over 4 million years. But according to Ye Feng’s words, it was possible to merge five, or even seven, great divine powers in such a short time—something utterly unbelievable.

After bringing the two into the palace, Nian Cangsheng couldn’t help but ask, “Third brother, who exactly are these two? Why can they merge divine powers so quickly? I consider myself highly talented, but even after over 4 million years, I doubt I could barely merge two great divine powers.”

“Their bodies contain my essence, meaning they share the same lineage as me. As my cultivation improves, theirs improves too. My high level of divine power merging also accelerates theirs,” Ye Feng explained.

“So it was your essence and blood.” Nian Cangsheng finally understood.
“To what extent have you merged your divine powers, Third Brother?” Wu Kuang was more concerned about Ye Feng’s strength.
“All seven elemental divine powers have been fully merged, along with two special types. However, martial arts divine powers cannot be merged with each other, so the overall level of the merged divine powers is 90.” Ye Feng felt there was no need to hide this from them and told them directly.
“In that case, each of the five basic elemental divine powers has been raised to level 36, right? The light and dark elements have reached level 37. The martial arts, swordsmanship, and blade arts divine powers have all reached level 38. And the spatial divine power within you has also reached level 39? What’s the other special type?” Nian Cangsheng stared at Ye Feng with wide eyes.
“It’s a soul-related divine power,” Ye Feng nodded. “It’s also been raised to level 38.”
“In that case, the power of a single divine power of yours must be comparable to that of some strong individuals after merging four or even five great divine powers.” Nian Cangsheng was speechless. “Because some people’s single-element divine powers never reach perfection, even after merging five great divine powers, their overall level might only reach 40.”
“I’ve also been thinking about what would happen if I continued to practice more special divine powers and merge them,” Ye Feng said with a smile. “If the power of a single-type divine power could be raised above level 100, it would surely be astonishing.”
“Ordinary people don’t have that much time to merge divine powers. Merging them becomes harder each time. Those with poor aptitude might not even manage to merge two great divine powers in an entire era.” Nian Cangsheng shook his head, inwardly marveling at Ye Feng’s extraordinary talent and aptitude. “For those with average aptitude, achieving the merger of three great divine powers in an era is already considered quite good. And due to limitations in aptitude and talent, they might never be able to merge a fourth great divine power in their lifetime.”
“I’ve heard from my father that his overall merged divine power level was only a little over 120, and that was thanks to his long lifespan. I remember him saying that there aren’t many people above level 100,” Wu Kuang added. “One reason is the limitation of lifespan, and the other is the limitation of aptitude and talent. You’ve only practiced for a short time, yet you’ve already reached level 90, which is on par with the top levels of the highest realms. What more could you possibly want?”

“Dad is only at over 120 levels too?” Ye Feng felt a surge of satisfaction upon hearing this. “Hehe, then I won’t bother thinking about levels over 200. I just need to surpass Dad.”
“Who do you mean, surpass?” A familiar voice suddenly came from behind Ye Feng…
