Volume 70 — The Continental Threat
The Obsidian Root Palace pulsed with unprecedented energy, the petals of the First Bloom spinning in a storm of radiant light. Lin Feng hovered at its center, fully attuned to the fourth secret, the awakened artifact, and the hidden force. Yet even this power would be tested as a catastrophic threat emerged—an alliance of ancient cultivators, intent on conquering entire continents.
Caiyi's eyes widened in alarm. "Lin Feng… this… this isn't just a sect or coalition… it's an entire continent under threat. Can the palace… even you… handle this?"
Lin Feng's gaze was sharp, aura flaring. "Exactly. The fourth secret, the artifact, and the hidden force together prepare us for this. But we need precision, foresight, and absolute control. Peach Spirit… full synchronization. We cannot fail."
Host, the Peach Spirit whispered, their combined aura rivals the power of the palace itself. Channel the hidden force carefully. Balance perception, battlefield control, and influence across an unprecedented scale. One misstep could destabilize everything.
The continental threat advanced, waves of energy capable of annihilating cities rolling forward. Lin Feng's petals spun violently, aura extending across vast regions. The hidden force flowed through him, blending with the palace's currents and the artifact's amplification, subtly guiding energy flows, redirecting attacks, and even reshaping terrain on a massive scale.
Caiyi moved in perfect synchronization, her presence amplifying his control. "It's like the world itself bends to your will! Entire armies are being guided without knowing it!"
Lin Feng's expression hardened. He extended the hidden force fully, predicting enemy strategies, countering attacks before they could form, and turning their power against them with invisible precision. Rivers shifted, winds carried subtle energy, and mountains seemed to rise and fall in alignment with his intent.
"This… is the ultimate application of the fourth secret!" Lin Feng shouted, aura blazing. "Perception, control, influence… and the hidden force combined! Nothing can oppose us!"
The alliance faltered, unable to contend with the palace's amplified power and Lin Feng's command of the hidden force. Caiyi exhaled, awe in her voice. "Lin Feng… the world… you've bent it entirely."
Lin Feng hovered, petals spinning like a blinding storm, aura perfectly harmonized. "And yet… the fourth secret still holds mysteries. The journey of mastery has only begun."
