He shoved Yunyi aside, but the turbulence grazed his left arm, leaving it a bloody mess. Yunyi was stunned, clearly not expecting the enemy to save him.
"Why?" She looked at Chen Feng with a complicated expression.
Chen Feng grinned: "I find you pleasing to the eye." After saying that, he circulated his qi and blood to seal the wound, and stared warily at the crack in the sky.
Yunyi's expression shifted, but she finally gritted her teeth and said, "This time we're even! Let's go!" She led the remaining members of her tribe away quickly.
Chen Feng breathed a sigh of relief, quickly bandaged himself up, and headed towards the core of the secret realm following the route given by the Sword Tomb. Along the way, he noticed that the secret realm was becoming unstable, with various natural disasters occurring frequently, seemingly entering an active period ahead of schedule.
Seven days later, after overcoming numerous dangers, Chen Feng finally arrived at the core area—a nine-story jade platform suspended in the void. The platform was surrounded by nine-colored light, beautiful yet extremely dangerous.
"Nine Heavenly Ladders..." Chen Feng recognized this as the legendary ultimate test. With each level he ascended, the pressure he endured and the opportunities he gained increased exponentially.
He adjusted his state and resolutely stepped onto the first jade staircase. In an instant, a mountain-like pressure descended upon him, while at the same time, a surge of pure energy flowed into his body. Chen Feng was pleasantly surprised to find that this energy could simultaneously nourish his blood and mental power.
"What a great place!" He climbed upwards despite the pressure. Second floor, third floor... with each floor he went, the pressure doubled. By the sixth floor, Chen Feng was covered in blood, but he had also raised his blood energy to 180,000 and his mental power to 160,000.
When he finally reached the seventh floor, he found two other people there—Jin Huang and Yun Yi. The three looked at each other, none of them expecting the other to have come this far.
"A bug is a bug, relying on luck to get here." Jin Huang sneered. He had obviously had another fortuitous encounter in the secret realm, and his aura was much stronger than when they first met.
Yunyi glanced at Chen Feng with a complicated expression, but said nothing.
The pressure on the seventh floor was terrifying, and the three of them were struggling to hold on. Chen Feng suddenly sat cross-legged and made a bold decision—to simultaneously activate the Heavenly Saint Transformation Divine Art and the Devouring Mystic Technique!
Two completely different forces converged within his body, creating a violent conflict. Chen Feng bled from all seven orifices, yet gritted his teeth and persevered. Gradually, under the harmonizing influence of the special energy at the seventh level, the two techniques began to slowly merge.
Jin Huang was shocked to see this: "A madman! How dare he attempt to fuse cultivation techniques in the secret realm!" He wanted to interrupt him, but was restricted by the pressure of the seventh layer and could not move.
Three days later, Chen Feng's body suddenly radiated chaotic light, and his aura surged. He had successfully created a brand-new cultivation technique—"Chaotic Golden Body"! His blood and mental power were perfectly integrated, becoming indistinguishable.
"Impossible!" Jin Huang stared in disbelief at Chen Feng, who had stood up. At this moment, Chen Feng's body was as smooth as jade, radiating a chilling aura, and he moved freely on the seventh floor.
Chen Feng ignored Jin Huang and continued climbing towards the eighth level. This time, he was unstoppable, ascending two levels in a row, reaching the summit of the Nine Heavens Ladder!
The moment he stepped onto the ninth level, the entire secret realm trembled. Nine-colored light converged into a pillar, enveloping Chen Feng within it. An ancient message entered his mind:
"Those who create chaos will receive my legacy..."
