Chapter 1018: Peak Xia Fei!
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
The secret room…
After nearly twenty-four hours of struggle, Xia Fei had entered the clean-up phase of the complete integration of the Seven Plants of the Cloud Sea. The complete form of the Plant-type Mystical Armament was about to emerge!
“Holy! The Warpsea Lotus and Fringe Mountain Leaf no longer have the strength to fight back! You’ve almost integrated all seven Mystical Armaments! You’re on the verge of making history!” Radix shouted nervously, overcome with excitement.
After these twenty-four hours of control and counter-control, Xia Fei seemed very tired.
After all, subduing two Mystical Armaments at once expended energy on a whole new level, and only Xia Fei understood all the twists and turns in the process of this battle.
This accursed Fringe Mountain Leaf had managed to draw in Xia Fei’s Soul Mark! Such a thing had never happened before. It was as if the Fringe Mountain Leaf had some kind of energy that was able to resonate with the Soul Mark in his seventh brain region!
At present, the width of Xia Fei’s seventh brain region was at 200%! The larger the region, the greater the vibration of the Soul Mark, and so the effects of the resonance were particularly intense, making Xia Geng very uncomfortable. Every second was torment!
Fortunately, Xia Fei had a tenacious will and a resolve that would never give in. As he struggled on, a subtle transformation began to take place. Gradually, Xia Fei adjusted to the constant trembling of the Soul Mark. This sort of cultivation, while difficult at the start, became much easier once one had gotten through the first part.
Xia Fei was in that stage right now. No matter how much his Soul Mark resounded or shook, he was no longer as threatened by it. Xia Fei was even treating this restless activity in his seventh brain region as a ma.s.sage.
“Submit!” Xia Fei roared, sending all his energy to Peac.o.c.k Blue!
This was the moment. He could see that the Fringe Mountain Leaf and Warpsea Lotus were getting weaker and weaker, perfect for him to subdue them both in one go! Xia Fei decided to attack and finish this at all costs! He would integrate all seven plants in the shortest time possible and then head off the battlefield!
Rumble!
As if a bomb had exploded inside it, the secret room instantly collapsed from the pressure! Even the castle that Qin Mang had lived in was turned into ruins! Xia Fei was crushed beneath it all!
…
One or two minutes later, a ma.s.sive boom came from the ruins!
Thirteen blue blades of gra.s.s flew out and tore open the rubble!
Each blade of gra.s.s was ten kilometers long, and as thick as the arms of a devil! Flowers bloomed and leaves flourished!
This was the complete form of the Plant-type Mystical Armament! This was Peac.o.c.k Blue’s ultimate form!
It was like the heaven-reaching beansprout of fairy tales, three enormously powerful blades of gra.s.s soaring into the clouds.
At the same time, a figure pushed aside the rubble and stood proudly in the center of the ruins, a book made of alloy held in his left hand.
Light circled around his body like a pack of evil dragons.
This was Xia Fei! The moment the seven plants had integrated, for some reason, Xia Fei had ascended all the way to Peak Law G.o.d!
Not even the most optimistic Radix could have imagined that Xia Fei would ascend three levels, reaching the peak of the physical body!
Rank 9 Law G.o.d! The absolute limit of a sapient lifeform could push body cultivation!
Every inch of muscle was bursting with strength, and every cell was energetically jumping around. At this moment, the body had evolved from warrior to War G.o.d!
Pa!
The alloy in Xia Fei’s hand softly crumbled into powder, falling out from between his fingers.
Smiling, Xia Fei said, “So this is the limit of the body! I felt like I was about to explode just now! Every cell in my body felt like it was about to break open! The switching out of the old with the new is at least ten thousand times faster than before!”
Radix nodded hastily, saying excitedly, “Correct! This is a sign that you’ve reached the limits of the body! All of the cells in your body will undergo a one-time replacement. In the past, whenever you advanced a rank, your body’s functions would be improved somewhat, but now that you’ve reached Peak Law G.o.d, your body will experience a one-time cleansing! The effect will be far stronger than everything that happened to you in the past put together!
“This will be immensely helpful to you when you use soul power. After all soul power is mental energy and needs to travel through your entire body. At the peak, your body can help you move the soul energy around even faster, and it won’t be damaged even if the soul power is too strong!
“In short, Peak Law G.o.d is a ma.s.sive step forward for you! With a little more effort, you’ll be a Founder! Of course, while your body has already hit the limit, you have to keep on working on your law forces and try to cultivate to the maximum level in the Law of Primal Chaos and the Law of Speed!”
Radix’s excitement had made him a little incoherent, but Xia Fei understood what he meant. It seemed that Peak Law G.o.d wasn’t just an increase in level, but a kind of transformation!
Everything he had acc.u.mulated so far erupted all at once, and Xia Fei was completely reborn!
Frowning, Xia Fei said, “Take a look at my seventh brain region.”
Whoos.h.!.+
As he spoke, the law totems appeared in his seventh brain region.
The law totem for the Law of s.p.a.ce was complete. It was no longer disparate, instead forming into a single whole! Beside it, Radix stared in shock at the Law of Primal Chaos and the Law of Speed!
Xia Fei had originally been at level 5 of the Law of Primal Chaos and level 4 in the Law of Speed, but now that Xia Fei had reached maximum body cultivation, the two law powers had both upgraded a level!
“This…” Radix was stunned, asking, “Is this an effect of the seven plants integrating!? Not only has it pushed your body to the peak, it even boosted these two important law powers, the Law of Primal Chaos and the Law of Speed!?”
Xia Fei was rather disappointed. He hadn’t expected that not even Radix would understand the changes to his body.
“It’s not just that. My Soul Mark also changed when I promoted,” Xia Fei informed him after a pause.
Radix was instantly dumbstruck, utterly flabbergasted!
Before Radix could speak, the stars suddenly s.h.i.+fted! Several dozen comets began to gather at the apex of the firmament!
This was truly a mystical day!
Surprising, truly surprising! Everything was bursting out on this day!
…
The Cosmic Gate…
The Inverse’s fourth wave had begun, and the Law Realm was under enormous pressure!
After testing the Law Realm for three waves, the Inverse had finally taken out their trump card, the black eyes!
There weren’t many Inverse attacking this time, ten to twenty thousand, but there was simply no comparing their power to the first three waves.
The Inverse with black eyes could use some sort of mystical power. With a flick of their wrists, pitch-black shadows would sweep out like banners, and any Law Realm warrior that made contact with them would instantly break apart.
“Heavens! These Inverse are simply too strong! What is this power!?” The Illusion-type Founder, Vista, found it hard to believe what he was seeing. It was clear that the Inverse weren’t using law force, but their combat power far exceeded law force!
“This is soul power! Over the years, Constant gave the Inverse countless souls, and they’re now using this soul power against the Law Realm! These Inverse are at the level of basic Souleaters! Even outside the Cosmic Gate, they have powers that cannot be underestimated!” Hosu said grimly.
Basic Souleaters?
The Law Realm warriors had no concept of what Souleaters were, but everyone understood that these Inverse were probably like Hosu, existences that could use some supreme power! Their level was far above that of Law G.o.ds!
Mental energy had always been stronger than physical energy, and the Inverse that could use soul power was on a completely different plane from the Law Realm that was stuck with law force!
The Law Realm was forced to expend a lot of strength to deal with this small number of Inverse elites.
*Rumble!*
The ten t.i.tans fired in unison! Ten dazzling beams of light howled into the Abyss!
The Doomsday weapons relied on light spectrum interference to produce their power. Those ten beams firing in unison produced a severe reaction, the explosion truly bringing doomsday! Everyone was gobsmacked, and the Cosmic Gate shuddered!
“Good work!” Crane raised his arms in excitement. He thought that just like last time, the t.i.tans’ powerful attacks would destroy the enemy!
But he soon furrowed his brow, as he saw pitch-black eyes appearing out of the Abyss, angrily glaring back at the Law Realm warriors!
“No way!? Such a powerful attack can’t even kill these Inverse!?”
“It’s over! Even the t.i.tans can’t do anything to them. What else is left to stop them!?”
The warriors were dumbfounded! Rather than killing these Inverse, the full-power salvo of the t.i.tans had only been able to push them back into the Abyss!
This was like ants crawling out of a pipe. Even if water could flush the ants back down, so long as the insidious insects weren’t killing, they would eventually crawl back up the pipe and take control of the Law Realm!
The t.i.tan salvo required an immense amount of energy, and they now only had enough power for eleven more salvos! Once the t.i.tans ran out of energy, what would be left to stop the Inverse attack? Hosu? They knew Hosu’s energy wasn’t endless!
At this moment, Warstar, the steel general of the Mech Race, was standing coldly on the command deck of the Starlock, Xia Guanghai at his side as the liaison officer. Compared to the cool and collected Warstar, Xia Guanghai had a rather nasty expression.
“It failed! What are these Inverse made from!? Even the toughest metal would have melted from those high temperatures just now!” Xia Guanghai muttered.
As he spoke, Warstar gave an order, one which caused Xia Guanghai to start sweating like crazy!
“Proceed with the self-destruct sequence! The Starmoon shall be the first to attack!” Warstar gave the order without the slightest hint of emotion, not wavering at all as he spoke so callously!
“Self-destruct!?” Xia Guanghai exclaimed in shock. “Do we really need to pay such a heavy price!? What about your comrades!?”
Other people might not understand, but Xia Guanghai knew very well that this fleet of t.i.tans was Xia Fei’s precious reserve! For several years, Xia Fei had been investing all of his money and all of the Mech Race’s resources into building these t.i.tans, but Warstar had so easily given the order for one of these unprecedented wars.h.i.+ps to self-destruct!
It had to be understood that each wars.h.i.+p had millions of Mech Race comrades! These highly-intelligent robots were little different from other sapient lifeforms and could think and feel!
Warstar was unmoved, but he did speak in an even louder voice, “The order I received was to protect the Cosmic Gate at all costs! At all costs! There are no relatives on the battlefield, only victors and losers! As the commander of the t.i.tan fleet, I only have a responsibility to Xia Fei! I will only execute his orders!”
His electronic eyes gradually turned red. While he was just a machine, his resolve and the loyalty unique to the Mech Race shook one’s soul!
“The Starmoon will be the first to self-destruct! The Star-river will be second! The Starthought will be third! In fifteen seconds, the second salvo will be fired!”
Warstar remained the same, continuing to issue orders of death and destruction!
The battle had now reached a white-hot climax!
