As Lin Feng calculated carefully, he was actually startled.
The cumulative effect of these several amplifications had already reached a terrifying level.
Just as he was mentally calculating the specific numerical value, he found that his surroundings suddenly changed.
"You have entered the Southern Heavenly Gate."
Lin Feng looked up in astonishment. He was clearly still a considerable distance from the Southern Heavenly Gate just now. How did he suddenly end up here? What kind of sorcery was this?
His expression turned solemn.
And just as he sensed something was wrong and was about to reactivate his domain, several beams of light flashed before his eyes, like blooming fireworks.
"Yuanshi Tianzun's soul clone has launched the Heavenly Dao divine ability [Purple Qi Divine Flame] against you."
"Taishang Laojun's soul clone has launched the Heavenly Dao divine ability [Gentle Breeze Brushing the Face] against you."
Following this, a barrage of attacks followed, completely engulfing Lin Feng at the center.
Fortunately, the Innate Five Directions Flags, as they fluttered, absorbed most of the attacks and blocked them one by one.
When Lin Feng stabilized his body and activated his domain, through the effect of Buddha's Light Illumination, the previously invisible enemies were now clearly marked like bright searchlights.
Lin Feng discovered two transparent figures attacking him from his left and right. Two soul clones?
He shook his head. Aren't you underestimating me a little too much?
Under the stunned gazes of the two clones opposite him, Lin Feng advanced instead of retreating. His entire body radiated light.
The dazzling, chilling Zhuxian Sword Formation led the way. The Innate Five Directions Flags protected his body in the center. The Innate Seven-Colored Immortal Light shielded his back. He directly pressed forward against the two Heavenly Dao Saints!
The three immediately engaged in a fierce battle. Various colored lights erupted.
As the battle officially began, the two boss clones on the left and right, who had been calmly attacking from the start, gradually changed their expressions. They were shocked to discover that this outsider, who had not even reached the Celestial Immortal realm, had actually grown to a terrifying extent.
Without the two clones possessing top-tier treasures, their domains could not exert much of their power. Their most confident Heavenly Dao divine abilities failed one by one. Even the Heavenly Dao Laws were ineffective! They could neither attack effectively nor defend properly.
This fact was unacceptable to them. In the blink of an eye, Lin Feng gained the upper hand. With the rich combat experience accumulated from his trials in the living beings' region, he even felt that these two bosses were a bit too weak.
With just a slight exertion of true effort, the battle was over.
"You have defeated the legendary boss Yuanshi Tianzun's soul clone, a Heavenly Dao Saint."
"You have obtained 13 trillion points of Chaotic Immortal Power."
"You have obtained 2.2 million Law Points."
"You have obtained 275,000 portions of Primordial Violet Qi."
"You have obtained 3,300 portions of Heavenly Dao Power."
Although no Immortal Crystals were dropped, the quantities of the other items were very satisfying to Lin Feng. He even suspected the system had made a mistake with the Immortal Power.
He quickly opened the detailed breakdown.
"You have received a base of 100 billion points of Immortal Power;
You have received an additional 1 trillion points of Immortal Power for overcoming greater challenges;
You have received 11.9 trillion points of Immortal Power from achievement bonuses;
You have ultimately received 13 trillion points of Immortal Power."
He then realized. It was the achievement bonus that had taken effect, a final increase of 700% in Immortal Power drops.
Not only that, but the drop from the other transparent figure was equally impressive.
"You have defeated the legendary boss Taishang Laojun's soul clone, a Heavenly Dao Saint."
"You have obtained 13 trillion points of Chaotic Immortal Power."
"You have obtained..."
Putting away the two inconspicuous but very substantial treasure chests, Lin Feng frowned. One clone was defeated, and then two more top-tier Saint clones appeared. What was this about?
Lin Feng's eyes sharpened. He then looked at his status panel and discovered that the total amount of Chaotic Immortal Power had surprisingly exceeded a hundred trillion, reaching a terrifying 132 trillion. Although converting it all would yield a large amount of Primordial Violet Qi, thus increasing the quantity of Heavenly Dao Power, Chaotic Power was currently very important. The consumption of reinforcing treasures alone was indispensable.
He did not rashly convert it. After all, after more than a month of accumulation and the drops from the two bosses just now, the quantity of Primordial Violet Qi had reached 43.85 million! This figure was even several hundred times that of a Mythical Saint, and comparable to an ordinary Heavenly Dao Saint. Even if it only had a 20% effect, it would provide Lin Feng with over 80,000 Heavenly Dao Power. Coupled with his existing accumulation, his current Heavenly Dao Power was approaching the 300,000 mark, narrowing the gap with Epic Heavenly Dao Saints.
Moreover, for him, with two powerful defensive and crowd-control artifacts, his offensive methods were rather limited. While the Zhuxian Sword Formation was powerful, it still required sustained damage to threaten powerful opponents. He currently lacked a means of output with super strong burst damage. In the past, the transformation of Great Dao Origin was too troublesome, so he paid less attention to this aspect. Now that the situation had improved, and he had just received a reward of 1,000 portions of Great Dao Origin, he decided to focus his efforts here. He began to search within his divine abilities.
...
Above the Thirty-Third Heavens, in the same mysterious region.
Just as Lin Feng killed Yuanshi Tianzun's first soul clone, Yuanshi Tianzun, seated on the high platform, was already quite surprised. Although this casually conjured clone did not possess even one percent of the true body's strength, it should have been more than enough to collect a soul fragment from the outside world. How could it have been annihilated?
"Did you not find the fragment?" he mused.
Just as he was lost in thought, another divine sense drifted over.
"The clone was annihilated, how strange!"
"Such a thing exists? Could it be those old fellows' doing?"
"I didn't invest my consciousness just now, so I couldn't see who the opponent was."
"The fragment is important. Let's create another clone. I'll also project a portion of my soul."
"Thank you, elder brother. With our two clones, it should be foolproof!"
A moment later, Yuanshi Tianzun on the high platform was shocked. This time, the two clones also did not last long and dissipated.
"It's actually this ferocious?"
Now, even Taishang Laojun's divine sense was shocked. The two were silent for a moment, and Yuanshi Tianzun spoke first.
"I thought it was that old fellow who made a move, but I didn't expect it to be that outsider I was keeping an eye on!"
"An outsider?" Taishang Laojun's emotions fluctuated violently. An outsider who had been in this world for several months could contend against two Heavenly Dao Saint-level beings? He had never heard of such an outrageous thing in his hundreds of thousands of years of existence. Even the most gifted Son of Destiny could not grow this fast.
Earlier, when Yuanshi Tianzun's clone was patrolling outside, he had discovered several powerful outsiders. Even those with Grand Unity Golden Immortal cultivation had immortal power comparable to ordinary Saints. This had already alarmed them. They had been passing by on their way to collect fragments, and could not resist unleashing a group Heavenly Dao divine ability to suppress them. Lin Feng's strength was even more unbelievable to them. Not being a Heavenly Dao Saint yet, he could contend against their clones. This was almost equivalent to challenging the Heavenly Dao!
Could there be something hidden in this alien world that they considered theirs, which they were unaware of? The divine senses of the two paused for a moment. Yuanshi Tianzun spoke first.
"This outsider is truly arrogant. It would not be an exaggeration to completely annihilate him!"
"However, you and I must focus our energy on suppressing and nurturing the soul of the third brother, so we cannot move for now. How shall we retrieve this fragment?"
"Send those two from the West."
"They have always wanted to pledge allegiance, so give them an opportunity!"
"Fine, let them go together. One to capture this mysterious person, and the other to bring back the fragment."
"We cannot delay any longer!"
"Agreed!"
After a quick exchange of divine senses, the two fell silent. A command was then rapidly transmitted.
In a dimly lit area of the Thirty-Third Heavens, two golden figures slowly emerged. One was dressed as a monk, while the other resembled a Taoist priest. The two first cast hateful glances at each other, then smiled at each other. Together, they floated forward.
...
At this moment, Lin Feng had already made up his mind. He decided to use the Great Dao Imprint on the divine ability [Amaterasu Sword Dance]. Furthermore, he would push the amplification to its maximum. This divine ability, originating from the immortal realm of the Cherry Blossom Country, was a trophy from the strongest being, Amaterasu Okami. Although its initial attributes were only average, after his previous sixteen levels of amplification, its effects had increased many times over. It was a very practical single-target burst divine ability.
However, as the Zhuxian Four Swords and the Zhuxian Array Diagram were continuously upgraded, and the Great Dao evolved, along with the accumulation of Immortal Power and other attributes, his current casual sword attack already dealt more damage than this divine ability's burst. It had almost become a chicken rib.
Now that the enemies he faced had reached the level of Heavenly Dao Saints, this once invincible and immensely powerful supreme divine ability had lost its priority and effectively become useless. Lin Feng intended to turn this waste into treasure, to make this divine ability shine anew. Previously, due to insufficient Immortal Power, he had only amplified it to the sixteenth level and stopped. He had rarely used it since. Now, to upgrade it, he would naturally push every detail to the fullest.
He first upgraded it from the sixteenth level of amplification to the highest, twenty-fourth level. This only consumed 33.4 billion Chaotic Immortal Power, which was a mere drop in the bucket compared to what he currently possessed.
He had just completed the first kill achievement for a Heavenly Dao Saint, and was rewarded with 1,000 portions of Great Dao Origin. He unhesitatingly used them on [Amaterasu Sword Dance]. A faint light flashed, and the divine ability underwent a significant transformation. Its rank was also elevated from Supreme Divine Ability to Heavenly Dao Divine Ability. Seizing the opportunity, he directly pushed the amplification to its maximum. A Heavenly Dao Divine Ability with twenty-eight levels of amplification was born!
Looking at the enhanced attributes, his eyes couldn't help but sparkle. Tsk, tsk, tsk! So Heavenly Dao Divine Abilities are this powerful? He wondered what it would be like when truly unleashed. His eyes held a hint of anticipation.
However, he also felt a bit disappointed. The two clones of the Sanqing had already been annihilated by him. After entering the Southern Heavenly Gate, the place was empty, with no one in sight. It was truly strange! He had the ability to slay dragons, but there wasn't even a chick in sight. Disappointing!
Just as he was about to explore further and venture into this area, he saw two figures floating from afar. With his supernormal vision and perception, Lin Feng saw clearly. Although the combination of a monk and a Taoist was a bit strange, he didn't care at all. Instead, he became excited. Aren't these the whetstones he was looking for?
