Urban Invincible Overlord

Chapter 1580: Chapter 1577: Surging Strength

As soon as Yang Fei finished speaking, the Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace began to move.

Thick Life Qi Mechanism and cultivators’ Essence Blood surged out of the cauldron like a tide, pouring into his limbs and bones.

At the beginning, Yang Fei could still stabilize his state of mind, circulating his Cultivation Technique and trying hard to absorb this vast energy.

However, this Essence Blood and Life Qi Mechanism was simply too immense, far beyond his expectations.

The five Core Formation Stage experts had each cultivated for several hundred years; how incomparably abundant were the Essence Blood and Life Essence contained in their bodies?

What’s more, after being absorbed and refined by the Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace, the energy fed back was even more pure. Even though only a portion was returned, for the current Yang Fei it was still far, far too much, impossible to fully absorb in one go.

"Not good!"

Yang Fei’s heart trembled. He hurriedly adjusted his breathing, trying to guide this energy to circulate through his meridians. But that Life Qi Mechanism was like a wild horse breaking loose, rampaging through his body, completely out of control.

He had no choice but to forcibly guide this Essence Blood and Life Force into his limbs and bones, storing it in his Dantian meridians and acupoints.

In that moment, Yang Fei’s body seemed to transform into a huge container, greedily devouring every strand of Life Essence.

Seeing this, the Artifact Spirit of the Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace chuckled, "Brat, if you can’t hold on, just say so. I can still take some back."

"Shut up!" Yang Fei forced himself to endure, "Keep going!"

Opportunities like this were rare. He intended to claim as much of the post-battle spoils from the Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace as he could. If he couldn’t grow together with the Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace, he might very well lose control over it.

This energy contained the lifetime cultivation essence of five Core Formation Stage Cultivators—not only pure Life Energy, but also the refined physical essence they had tempered over hundreds of years, and even faint wisps of Divine Soul Power.

Yang Fei now first accepted all of it into his body.

One day.

Two days.

Three days.

Yang Fei sat cross-legged in the wooden building like a statue, completely motionless.

On the surface of his body, dense, intricate blood vessel patterns began to appear. Scarlet blood flowed within those patterns, faintly emitting a golden glow.

This was the sign of nearing his limit, of being overstuffed.

"This brat’s foundation from his Physical Body Realm Foundation Establishment really is solid," the Artifact Spirit muttered to itself. "Switch in an ordinary Mid stage Core Formation Cultivator, and they wouldn’t be able to withstand such a massive impact of energy. Damn it, this energy I spent so much effort refining, and this brat actually took half of it. Seriously..."

Another two hours passed. When it sensed that Yang Fei’s Body was about to reach its limit, the Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace took the initiative to end the feedback to Yang Fei.

"How do you feel? Still holding up?" the Artifact Spirit of the Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace asked.

"Barely." Yang Fei gritted his teeth and forced himself to answer, "But I need to go into seclusion to properly absorb and digest this energy."

"Mm, with this much energy, there’s a good chance you’ll break through again, brat. Work hard and grow."

Yang Fei nodded slightly and ignored the Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace. Before going into seclusion, he first set up a powerful Restriction Array in the room, ensuring that the cultivators of White Jade City wouldn’t be able to sense his existence or disturb him. Only then did he choose to begin closed-door cultivation.

Time flew by in a rush; the years slipped away.

What Yang Fei didn’t expect was that this seclusion to absorb the energy fed back by the Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace would actually take a full ten years.

Ten years might not count for much to a Cultivator. But for Yang Fei, these ten years were a qualitative leap.

When he opened his eyes again, his whole state was several times stronger than before he went into seclusion.

"Mid-stage Core Formation Perfection." Yang Fei felt both delighted and faintly disappointed in his heart. "I’m only a single step away from Late stage Core Formation."

Before going into seclusion, he had thought he would be able to charge straight into Late stage Core Formation this time, but in the end, he still fell a step short.

However, he could clearly sense that the Life Qi Mechanism and Essence Blood contained in his body had already surpassed that of many normal Late stage Core Formation experts.

And that was just on the surface.

What delighted Yang Fei even more was that during this seclusion, his Divine Sense had once again entered that mysterious state of "Traveling in the Divine Void." It was precisely because of this that he remained unaware of how long he had been in seclusion.

"Early stage Nascent Soul." Yang Fei took a deep breath, a trace of disbelief flashing in his eyes. "My Divine Sense can already rival that of an Early stage Nascent Soul Powerhouse?"

One had to know, cultivating Divine Sense was even more difficult than improving one’s Cultivation. Precisely because of this, many cultivators, after stepping into the Core Formation Stage, even if their Spirit Root Talent was outstanding and their Mana improvement could keep up, would find their overall Cultivation Realm advancement slowed because their Divine Sense couldn’t keep pace.

In this seclusion, Yang Fei had achieved tremendous improvement in both his Physical Body Realm and his Divine Sense Realm. It could be said he advanced on both fronts, keeping them in lockstep.

Most importantly, his Divine Sense had already reached a strength comparable to Early stage Nascent Soul while he was only at the Core Formation mid-stage. This would make him truly invincible among those of the same Realm.

This wasn’t simply a matter of leaping across one major Realm, but a qualitative transformation.

"Haha, brat, now you understand the benefits of cooperating with me, right?" The Artifact Spirit of the Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace suddenly spoke. "How about it? Next, take me to the Southern Domain Cultivation World and let’s slaughter our way across! If we join hands, our growth speed will definitely be astonishing. In less than a hundred years, I can help you step into Late-stage Nascent Soul!"

Yang Fei’s heart tightened.

This guy could actually sense the changes in his Realm?

Damn, could it be that it could constantly monitor his every move in secret?

Shit, this thing was too mysterious, too sinister, and too powerful. He absolutely had to maintain sufficient vigilance toward it.

Moreover, its voice carried an extremely strong bewitching power, as if imbued with some kind of Magic Power that made people unconsciously want to obey.

Even though Yang Fei repeatedly warned himself in his heart to be on guard against the Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace, he was still somewhat tempted by its words.

The harvest this time was simply immense.

Under normal circumstances, even if he could Dual Cultivation with Qin Yanyang and had a faster Cultivation speed than those in the same Realm, it would still take several decades to advance one minor Realm within the Core Formation Stage. Yet this single feedback made him come close to breaking through in one seclusion; the efficiency was unbelievably terrifying.

If he could go through this a few more times, his Cultivation speed would definitely reach a frightening level.

However, Yang Fei quickly became alert.

He took a deep breath, suppressed the greed in his heart, and said in a deep voice, "No."

"Why?" The Artifact Spirit of the Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace asked in dissatisfaction. "Brat, why are you so blockheaded? To walk the Cultivation World, strength is what matters most."

Yang Fei shook his head firmly. "This time I killed five Core Formation Stage experts and caused quite a stir. If word gets out, will the powerhouses of the Mu Family and Han Family let me go?"

"So what?" The Artifact Spirit of the Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace said carelessly. "With me around, what is there to fear?"

"This isn’t about fear or not." Yang Fei said, "It’s about not being able to act like this. If I keep taking you around the Southern Domain Cultivation World to slaughter wildly, I’ll inevitably make countless enemies. By then, even with the Shang Qing Sect as backing, I’ll become a Great Demon that everyone in the Cultivation World wants to kill. Those who commit too much evil bring about their own destruction. You should understand that principle."

The Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace snorted. "So what if you’re a Demon? In the Cultivation World, strength is everything. Whether you’re Demon or Immortal, as long as you’re strong enough, you make the rules."

"I still have many things to do, and I can’t drive myself into a corner." Yang Fei shook his head. "Besides, this harvest is already enormous. My Realm still needs further consolidation. The path has to be walked step by step; I can’t aim too high too fast."

"You’re still too cautious, brat. But if you change your mind, you can come find me anytime."
