Chapter 837: Lightning Master (2)

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Chen Fei favored powers that he could control. The talent for probability-based critical strikes wasnt bad, but it simply wasnt suitable for him.

Although he had been initially captivated by Sky Breaker.

After careful consideration, however, he ultimately decided to give it up.

Instead, he found the talent Roar of Fury more suitable after much thought. By acc.u.mulating power, he could achieve critical strikes, which suited him better. Startling Crane: Damaged opponents, extracted primal essence to enhance attacks.

The third talent orb made Chen Fei raise his eyebrows slightly, another talent that grew stronger with each battle.

It was somewhat similar to Soul Sever, but completely different in detail.

Soul Sever was purely for group battles, while Startling Crane could be effective in both group and single combat, with decent results in both cases.

The extracted primal essence couldnt be refined or absorbed due to impurities more exaggerated than pure essence.

However, it could be directly used to enhance attack power. Though the increase wasnt substantial, as opponents weakened, Chen Fei definitely grew stronger.

Chen Fei withdrew his hand, sensing the consumption of his spiritual energy, and continued flying forward.

These three talents were quite good, but if Chen Fei had to choose, he would prefer to select the Thunder Roar talent.

Once again traversing a long and lonely void, he finally encountered another cl.u.s.ter of orbs, this time four, more than before, which pleasantly surprised Chen Fei.

Grave Dust: Damage opponents, extract primal essence to enhance techniques.

It was another talent that extracted primal essence, similar to Startling Crane, but Grave Dust used the extracted essence to enhance techniques.

At first glance, it seemed not much differentenhancing techniques was essentially enhancing attacks indirectly.

However, there were subtle differences.

With the same primal essence, Startling Crane enhanced attacks more powerfully, but after one strike, the essence might be depleted.

In contrast, Grave Dusts talent, enhancing techniques, might not provide as much of an attack boost because techniques themselves didnt improve significantly.

But it lasted longer over time, ensuring the enhancement didnt disappear after a single strike.

Moreover, Grave Dust had an intriguing aspect: using primal essence to enhance techniques effectively pointed out the future direction of insights into that technique.

Despite the subsequent dispersal of primal essence and the disappearance of technique enhancement, once youve seen a path, subsequent insights along that path shouldnt take too long, estimating a quick improvement in techniques.

In hindsight, the Grave Dust talent somewhat resembled an accelerator for techniques.

While Chen Fei didnt need this ability due to his character, it would be extremely rare for other pract.i.tioners in the Mountain Sea Realm.

Seamless: Damage opponents, extract primal essence to enhance defense.

Once again extracting primal essence from opponents, this time used to bolster defense, essentially adding a protective s.h.i.+eld to the body surface, effective in both group and single combat.

Compared to the Startling Crane talent, it can be considered two sides of the same coin, depending on the preference of the pract.i.tioner in the Mountain Sea Realm.

Moon Wind: Damage opponents, extract primal essence to enhance speed.

To Chen Feis surprise, the third orb also involved extracting opponents primal essence, leaving him somewhat stunned.

While extracting primal essence was certainly beneficial, Chen Fei was interested in seeing different types of talents.

This Moon Wind talent, enhancing speed including attack speed and evasion speed, was undoubtedly promising, falling into the same tier as the aforementioned talents.

Ultimately, it all boiled down to personal preference for pract.i.tioners to decide which one they leaned towards.

Of course, there was an even more ruthless approach: to gather all four talents.

Startling Crane, Grave Dust, Seamless, and Moon Wind!

Executing this combination, if the enemy couldnt defend against it and suffered your attacks, all four talents would simultaneously extract primal essence from the opponent, immediately weakening their vitality.

The feeling of this would be like quadruple the joy.

Meanwhile, you would directly gain the enhanced states of all four talents. An opponent who was evenly matched with you would suddenly drop a tier.

If they were originally weaker than you, with such enhancements, you could probably defeat them in just a few moves.

If combined with a certain technique to form a talent skill, the effect would be overwhelmingly dominant.

Just thinking about it made Chen Fei somewhat excited.

From the Sixth Divine Palace to the Ninth Divine Palace, Chen Fei could exactly accommodate four talents. Should he just go for them?

Chen Fei extended his hand into the final orb.

Thunderstorm: Enhance thunder-type techniques, reduce the difficulty of practicing thunder-type techniques.

Similar to Thunder Roars explanation, but with significantly enhanced effects, it was an advanced version of Thunder Roar.

Chen Fei hesitated, checking the consumption of his spiritual energy. At this point, it wasnt enough to propel him across the void ahead to discover new talents.

Therefore, Chen Fei had to choose one from the many talents he had seen before.

Startling Crane, Grave Dust, Seamless, Moon Windthese four talents were excellent. After pondering for a long time, Chen Fei ultimately shook his head and decided to give up.

He preferred talents that provided stable enhancements rather than those that required injuring someone to activate.

Moreover, there was another consideration: talents that could strip away an opponents primal essence depended on the opponents level.

If the opponent could forcefully lock their primal essence, even if Chen Fei had the talent, it might not work or extract very little.

Such talents were far inferior to those that directly acted on ones own body, ensuring ones strength remained unchanged regardless of the enemys actions.

Thunderstorm!

If seeing Thunder Roar before had only sparked a slight interest, encountering the enhanced version of Thunderstorm left Chen Fei with no more hesitation.

This talent could significantly boost the Purple Sky Stellar Technique!

Not only did the Thunderstorm talent enhance the Purple Sky Stellar Technique, but it also greatly bolstered protection against demonic influences.

Gripping the Thunderstorm talent, Chen Fei surged back to his original position.

Inside the Tingfeng Courtyards secret chamber, Chen Feis eyes snapped open, and a ma.s.sive burst of lightning erupted from his body.

The Purple Sky Stellar Technique automatically activated, complementing the Thunderstorm talent. Insights about both automatically flooded Chen Feis mind. His expression flickered briefly, but he quickly absorbed them.

Fifteen minutes later, the lightning gradually subsided, and the proficiency of the Thunderstorm talent and Purple Sky Stellar Technique stabilized.

From basic proficiency, the Thunderstorm talent had advanced to halfway through the entry level, while the Purple Sky Stellar Technique had taken a significant step toward mastery.

Roughly estimating their improvements, Chen Fei had saved the equivalent of eight Myriad Clones, around more than twenty thousand high-grade elemental stones.

Such resonances between talents and top-tier techniques had occurred once before, with the talent Divine Blessing and the Divine Blessing Dream Entry Technique, surpa.s.sing even the advancement seen with the Thunderstorm talent this time.

Chen Fei lowered his head, slowly tightening his right hand, adding another Divine Palace. The output of elemental power increased significantly, especially the thunder attribute within it surged instantly.

Glancing at the myriad Myriad Clones beside him, Chen Fei lightly gestured with his right hand, summoning one over.

The Purple Sky Stellar Technique, his main cultivation method, was currently at a too low proficiency level. Chen Fei needed to raise it.

One day later,

The entire secret chamber seemed transformed into a sea of thunderstorms, countless lightning bolts traversing through. Standing amidst it all, Chen Fei resembled the lord of thunder.

Despite the raging storm of thunder, it caused no disturbance to the formation within the secret chamber. Whenever the thunder brushed the edges of the formation, it felt as gentle as a breeze over a hill.

Such precise and meticulous control was the lifelong pursuit of countless pract.i.tioners in the Mountain Sea Realm.

With twenty-three Myriad Clones, Chen Fei elevated the Purple Sky Stellar Technique, akin to a sacred sects foundational technique, to perfection.

This mastery over thunderstorms stemmed from the enhancement of his technique and the blessing of the Thunderstorm talent.

With this foundation, Chen Fei could cultivate to the pinnacle of the Mountain Sea Realm without encountering any bottlenecks along the way.

Once Chen Fei elevated the Purple Sky Stellar Technique to the state of Great Completion, he could attempt to break through to the Sun and Moon Realm. Originally, the six Divine Palaces were interconnected: the first three with intricate formations, and the latter three with a single connecting formation. However, now that Chen Fei had perfected the Purple Sky Stellar Technique, the formations within the six Divine Palaces had become extremely complex, almost indistinguishable from the later stages of the Mountain Sea Realm.

In other words, with the elemental power erupting from the six Divine Palaces at this moment, Chen Fei was on par with the typical later stages of the Mountain Sea Realm.

Chen Fei aimed to forge the seventh Divine Palace and break through to the later stages of the Mountain Sea Realm. With the foundation of the current six Divine Palaces, even the efficiency of refining elemental power would be significantly enhanced.

The only thing hindering Chen Fei was the proficiency of the Thunderstorm talent. He needed new Myriad Clones.

As long as he had enough Myriad Clones, Chen Fei would face no obstacles in advancing his realm.

Hum!

Seven stars flashed across Chen Feis body. With the Purple Sky Stellar

Technique at the stage of Great Completion, it could now activate this secret technique, the Seven Star Illumination Technique.

Two ethereal Divine Palaces manifested within Chen Feis body, s.h.i.+ning brilliantly alongside the original six Divine Palaces.

Eight Divine Palacesreaching the pinnacle realm of the later stages of the Mountain Sea Realm!
