Volume 67 — The Multi-Sect War
The horizon burned with energy as rival sects gathered, their combined aura a mountain of threat against the Obsidian Root Palace. Lin Feng hovered above, petals of the First Bloom spinning violently, artifact and palace fully harmonized. The fourth secret had reached a new pinnacle, and now its ultimate test began: a battle not against one enemy, but an entire coalition.
Caiyi's eyes shone with awe. "Lin Feng… there are dozens of sects aligned against you. How can the palace… even the artifact… contain all of this?"
Lin Feng's gaze was sharp, aura blazing. "Exactly why this is the true trial of the fourth secret. Not just perception or control—this is harmony on a continental scale. Peach Spirit… synchronize fully. Every subtle current, every thread of energy… now."
Host, the Peach Spirit whispered, their combined force is immense. Only by integrating hidden spiritual energy, battlefield influence, and foresight with the artifact's amplification can you survive this onslaught.
The enemy launched waves of attacks simultaneously—energy torrents, illusions, and environmental manipulation all designed to overwhelm. Lin Feng's petals flared brighter, aura expanding outward, extending the palace's influence across the battlefield. Subtle shifts in terrain guided allies, redirected attacks, and created traps invisible to the enemies' perception.
Caiyi moved in perfect harmony with Lin Feng. "It's like the battlefield itself is thinking with us! Their formations… they collapse before they can even solidify."
Lin Feng's eyes glimmered with determination. Every strike and defense was amplified by the artifact, every hidden current of energy manipulated with precision. Rocks rose to shield allies, winds redirected assaults, and energy flows guided attacks back at the enemies. The coalition's strategies unraveled as unseen forces reshaped the battlefield.
"This… this is the ultimate power of the fourth secret!" Lin Feng shouted, aura blazing. "Not just mastery, but orchestration on a scale no one can match!"
The enemy faltered, unable to contend with the palace's amplified influence. Caiyi exhaled in awe. "Lin Feng… the artifact… the palace… they are one. Nothing can stop you!"
Lin Feng hovered, petals spinning like a blinding storm. "And yet… the fourth secret still holds deeper mysteries. The journey is far from over."
