Chapter 1254 – Breaking Through into the Heavenly Divine Realm (III)

The massive five-colored whirlpool around Zhao Feng’s palace and the fifth Divine Stage that was on the verge of completion suddenly vanished.

This occurrence had the eyes of everyone nearby flying wide open in shock.

“This… what’s going on?”

“The phenomena from breaking through into the Heavenly Divine Realm suddenly disappeared!”

The shocked and frenzied crowd was immediately struck dumb.

Zhao Feng had clearly been on the cusp of forming his fifth Divine Stage, but why had the worldly phenomena suddenly vanished?

But everyone quickly came to the understanding that Zhao Feng had almost certainly failed with his breakthrough.

“Haha, as I said, there was no way that brat could succeed!”

“Directly attaining Rank Five is something only the best prodigies of a Sacred Land can do. He really overestimated himself!”

The nervous Zhang Yutong instantly breathed a sigh of relief. If Zhao Feng really had managed to reach Rank Five, he would have been on the same level as a Quasi-God genius of a Sacred Land. In that case, the upper echelon of the Spiritual Race would no longer try to stop him from having a relationship with Zhao Yufei.

But Zhao Feng failed! Zhang Yutong gave a cold smile.

“That’s not right. If the formation of a Divine Stage fails, one Divine Stage after the other would collapse, but that image of the fifth Divine Stage vanished very abruptly!” Xiahou Wu’s eyes darkened as he began to carefully examine the palace.

“Impossible! Brother Feng can’t fail!” In the distance, Zhao Yufei’s expression was in disarray.

“Brother Zhao, what’s going on with you?” Pan Hao was also extremely worried.

In the sky, the watching Ancient Gods were also dumbfounded.

“The worldly phenomena disappeared. Did he fail?” An Ancient God frowned.

From the phenomena, he had been able to tell that Zhao Feng had a very high chance of forming his fifth Divine Stage. Why had the phenomena suddenly disappeared?

Something strange is going on. I can still sense that confluence of energy between the Divine Stage and the world….  Ancient God Floating Spirit mentally muttered to himself, but he wasn’t too sure; the energy was far too weak.

…

In the Ancient Dream Realm, Zhao Feng’s consciousness had blacked out after experiencing a bout of intense pain.

However, this pain lasted for only a brief moment. He did not fully lapse into sleep, and he quickly came to his senses.

“This is…?”

When Zhao Feng’s consciousness recovered, his mind was immediately stricken with shock. He discovered that his Soul Intent was no longer in his body but had fused with the Ancient Dream Realm.

Everything in the range of one million li was under his control. Moreover, his range of control was still expanding.

“Not good! My body! The Divine Stage!” Zhao Feng’s mind immediately focused on the black forest.

With his soul fused with the Ancient Dream Realm, his body was empty. The strength in his body could not go anywhere without the directions from his mind, meaning that the formation of his Divine Stage had been interrupted midway, resulting in a failure at the last step.

But when Zhao Feng’s focused his mind on the black forest, he was immediately drawn to his hair. The hair was shining silver, but it seemed to be flowing in the air with a dreamy multi-colored luster.

Zhao Feng then focused his mind on his left eye. The condition of his left eye was in the same state of dream-like silver as his hair.

 Whoosh! Whoosh!

Suddenly, a multicolored fog began to seep out of his left eye, engulfing his body.

At this moment, the enormous Yuan Qi whirlpool once more manifested with his body as its center. Five crystalline Divine Stages appeared overhead, thrumming with five-colored light. The Divine Stage on the very top was still just a tiny sliver from completion.

“The Divine Stage didn’t collapse!” Zhao Feng was stunned, excited, but also deeply confused.

But at this moment, he saw something that left him absolutely astounded. The fifth Divine Stage in the air was actually filling up and completing itself.

“How could this be? My soul is already fused with the Ancient Dream Realm, so how can the Divine Stage form without my mind controlling the process?”

In his shock, Zhao Feng sent his mind into his cross-legged body.

“This is…!?” Zhao Feng’s face froze in surprise.

The fifth Divine Stage above his dantian was shrouded in a dreamy mist. At this moment, this dreamy mist was absorbing the other energy in his body and slowly fusing it into his fifth Divine Stage.

“The strength of the God Eye is helping me form the Divine Stage!” This was the conclusion Zhao Feng reached after some thought.

He also sensed that he seemed to have become even more harmoniously fused with the world of the Ancient Dream Realm. This feeling was like the world had been a part of his body all along.

“It seems like my God Eye is in the middle of awakening, which is constantly increasing my control over the Ancient Dream Realm!” Zhao Feng was positively delighted.

At this moment, he was the god of a world.

Without another word, Zhao Feng began to gather the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi from one million li around him. At the same time, he also moved a different low-quality God Crystal vein several hundred thousand li away to beneath the black forest.

“I wonder how the God Eye will change this time.”

Zhao Feng finally put aside the matter of the Divine Stage and began to ponder another question.

The God Eye transformation this time was very strange. He had not fallen asleep. Instead, his soul had fused with the Ancient Dream Realm. Thus, he could not see what was going on inside the God Eye Dimension.

 Hwooom!

Within the God Eye Dimension, the mysterious golden sphere was still spinning, shedding the dreamy mist. The golden ball itself had transformed into a ball of dream-like silver.

Suddenly, a dazzling point of light appeared on the silver ball. The point of light began to stretch out into a short line as if it was attempting to draw something.

…

The link between the Ancient Dream Realm and the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods was Zhao Feng’s left eye. As of this moment, his left eye was undergoing a transformation, so the Origin energy of the God Eye had been cut off from absorbing the essence of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods. For this reason, no phenomena from breaking through into the Heavenly Divine Realm could be seen in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods.

“Haha, he actually tried to make a fifth Divine Stage! He really didn’t know what was best for him!”

“Now that he’s failed, he doesn’t even dare to show his face!”

Those people in the crowd who had been given quite a scare by Zhao Feng now began to deride him.

“Mm? This energy…!” Zhang Yutong’s eyes flashed. Just a moment ago, he suddenly sensed a unique energy in the air.

“How? This is the God energy that one obtains when one has received the acknowledgment of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods while breaking through into the Heavenly Divine Realm!” Zhang Yutong inwardly trembled.

 Didn’t he fail? Then why does that energy still exist!?

At the same time, several core disciples and those individuals with powerful Divine Senses or sharp observation skills had also noticed this point. All of them turned gloomy and quiet.

In the sky, the Ancient Gods were also a little confused.

“It doesn’t seem like he failed,” Ancient God Floating Spirit nonchalantly said.

“Just what’s going on here?” Another Ancient God was finding it rather hard to understand what was happening.

On the side, Ancient God Night Dragon’s eyes were twinkling.

 This kid clearly had a good chance of reaching Rank Five of the Heavenly Divine Realm, but just what happened at the end that made the phenomena disappear while that God energy symbolizing the world’s acknowledgment still remains?

  After thinking for a few moments, Ancient God Night Dragon suddenly said, “Good Sirs, I must bid farewell.”

 Whoosh!

Ancient God Night Dragon vanished.

If Zhao Feng had failed to reach the Heavenly Divine Realm, the Spiritual Race would say nothing if Ancient God Night Dragon killed him. However, his intuition told him that Zhao Feng’s breakthrough attempt was still not over.

Then it was very likely that Zhao Feng would attain Rank Five. If he wanted to kill Zhao Feng then, the Spiritual Race would certainly try to stop him.

Thus, Ancient God Night Dragon chose to leave and observe from the shadows. Whether Zhao Feng succeeded or failed, he would have to die.

The Spiritual Race Ancient Gods didn’t have time to worry about Ancient God Night Dragon’s departure. They were currently carefully inspecting Zhao Feng’s palace in the hopes of seeing something.

“Brother Zhang? If that kid failed at reaching the Heavenly Divine Realm, what are we still waiting around here for?” Jin Wei curiously asked, his face all smiles.

“Oh, I know! Brother Zhang is definitely waiting for that kid to come out so you can humiliate him!” Jin Wei’s lips curled into a wicked smile.

“Shut your mouth!” Zhang Yutong coldly barked as his eyes remained fixed on the palace.

“You…!” Jin Wei’s face immediately contorted in rage, but he managed to restrain himself. His backing was far more powerful than Zhang Yutong’s, but his talent and strength were far inferior.

In addition, Jin Wei was beginning to notice that something was wrong. Zhao Feng had clearly failed, but the crowd still hadn’t dispersed, and all of them had rather pensive and solemn looks on their faces.

 Whoosh!

At this moment, the God energy outside Zhao Feng’s palace thickened.

Zhang Yutong’s eyes focused, and his face grew even more depressed. He was now sure that Zhao Feng was still breaking through into the Heavenly Divine Realm.

As that confluence of energy between the Divine Stages and the world grew more distinct, more and more people began to realize this.

The Ancient Dream Realm:

“Haha, the sixth Divine Stage!”

Laughter rang throughout the world. It was like the heavens themselves were laughing. This strange happenstance caused all the nearby ancient beasts to tremble in fear.

 Whoosh! Whoosh!

In the middle of the black forest, above the madly spinning five-colored Yuan Qi whirlpool, a sixth Divine Stage now loomed!

“Even I wasn’t confident in forming six Divine Stages, but with the transformation of the God Eye and my soul fused with the Ancient Dream Realm, my God Eye has actually helped me condense my sixth Divine Stage!”

He had truly never expected this. The God’s Spiritual Eye had once more helped him enormously, helping him form the sixth Divine Stage that he had no confidence in forming.

“Just this sixth Divine Stage alone is a wonderful surprise. I wonder what other changes my left eye’s transformation will cause…”

Zhao Feng found himself rather anticipating this, but suddenly, Zhao Feng’s mind was shocked once more.

“This… this is…!?” Even his voice was shaking.

Above the sixth Divine Stage, the outlines of a seventh were slowly taking form. The outlines of the seventh Divine Stage were illusory, flickering in and out of existence as if it was about to extinguish at any moment.
