Volume 4: Super-Tier Awakening & The Ancient Capital Calamity
Chapter 311
Eight Elements United, Unprecedented in History!
Deep within the subterranean secret chamber beneath the Kunlun Mountains, an unprecedented, magnificent radiance—the likes of which human history had never witnessed—surged outward. The surrounding space seemed to bend, and visible ripples of energy could be seen radiating from the physique of a nineteen-year-old youth. That youth was Lin Feng.
Throughout the millennia-long history of global human magic civilization, the conventional Super Tier realm typically commanded only four elemental attributes. For the vast majority of talented mages worldwide, simultaneously awakening and controlling four elements was already the absolute limit that the human mental structure and physical vessel could endure. Even the supreme grandmages standing at the pinnacle of the major magical holy lands dared only dream of a fifth element—a rare miracle appearing once every few centuries in ancient codices.
Yet at this very moment, right at this exact second, a world-shaking event was unfolding within Lin Feng’s sea of consciousness. It was not four elements, nor was it five, but EIGHT GREAT STAR PALACES operating in harmonious unison like a miniature universe!
Lin Feng’s sea of consciousness had now expanded to boundless limits, a mystical space brimming with starlight and primal chaos energy. Eight colossal star palaces sat majestically in eight distinct directions, acting like unyielding pillars holding up the heavens, fusing seamlessly while preserving the independent nature of their respective elements.
First was the Fire Element—the Nine Dragons Flame Palace. Located in the southern region of the sea of consciousness, this palace was composed of billions of crimson star particles resembling magma dormant deep beneath the ocean floor. Within that majestic structure, nine minuscule golden dragon shadows, radiating the might of primordial true dragons, coiled and roared. Every time they shifted, the golden dragon flames surged into terrifying heatwaves, ready to incinerate any soul or flesh daring to trespass.
Guarding the north was the Lightning Element—the Annihilation Lightning Palace. Unlike the roaring fury of flames, this lightning palace was steeped in a deep, abyss-like purplish-black, bone-chillingly serene yet harboring a destructive energy capable of tearing space apart. Streams of ancient lightning produced no deafening thunderclaps; instead, they moved silently like pure energy vipers, slithering within the razor-sharp walls of the star palace.
Anchoring the center to govern space was the Space Element—the Void Star Palace. This star palace possessed no fixed color; instead, it reflected everything around it in a hue of pure, ethereal silver-white. Overlapping folds of spatial fabric formed an endless labyrinth where the laws of distance and time were entirely distorted at the master’s will.
Counterbalancing it on the opposite side was the Chaos Element—the Chaos Star Palace. A thick, silvery-gray surged like the whirlpool of primordial times before heaven and earth were split. Any external energy falling into the range of the Chaos Star Palace had its order inverted, disintegrating into chaotic atoms before being absorbed back to nourish the sea of consciousness.
Lurking in the silent shadows of the furthest corner of the sea of consciousness was the Shadow Element—the Night Assassin Star Palace. A shade of absolute, pitch black, reflecting not even a single speck of light. This star palace resembled a stealthy assassin with closed eyes, waiting for the right moment. The aura of assassination radiating from here made the surrounding air dense, frigid, and reeking of bloodshed.
Right beside it was the Summoning Element—the Myriad Beasts Star Palace, emanating the purest and most translucent jade-green glow. Millions of star particles linked together to form countless ancient covenant arrays. Deep within this star palace, the muffled roars of primordial sacred beasts echoed rhythmically, forging an unbreakable life bond between Lin Feng and the powerful living world outside.
Rising from ten-thousand-foot glacial mountains was the Extreme Ice Element—the Primordial Extreme Ice Star Sea. This was not merely a simple star palace, but an entire vast frozen ocean condensed within the sea of consciousness. Azure snow fluttered, carrying an absolute cold capable of freezing even the flow of time and spiritual energy. Any enemy touched by this pale blue light would instantly feel their soul freeze and their life force stripped away in the blink of an eye.
Finally, enveloping everything, connecting and harmonizing the remaining seven star palaces, was the Sacred Light Blessing Element—the Holy Light Star Sea. A warm, solemn, and peerlessly noble golden light emanated from here. This sacred light carried no direct offensive lethality, yet it was the ultimate bane of all evil, dark arts, and curses in the world, while serving as an inexhaustible source of recovery for Lin Feng himself.
The eight great star palaces operated simultaneously, forming a complete energy ecosystem—self-sustaining and overwhelmingly powerful, far surpassing all conventional laws of the magical world.
Outside the sea of consciousness, at the center of the underground Kunlun cavern, Lin Feng’s transformation reached its absolute peak.
The youth slowly opened his eyes. The moment those striking eyelids lifted, a torrent of golden light laced with purple and silver-white flashed sharply like a dagger piercing directly into the open air, causing tiny black spatial fissures to rupture in front of him as the space failed to withstand the pressure.
Lin Feng slowly rose from the dragon jade pedestal. Every movement carried an invisible gravity, forcing the spiritual fluid of the pool below to automatically part on either side, not daring to surge and touch his heels.
An eight-colored resplendent halo radiated from every pore of Lin Feng’s body. This was no ordinary dazzling light, but the manifestation of elemental primal energy reaching the realm of consummate mastery. The surging aura erupting from him resembled a primordial deity awakening from a slumber of ten thousand years, bearing a coercion that made all creation tremble and bow.
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
The entire subterranean Kunlun cavern began to shake violently. Massive stalactites clinging to the cavern ceiling cracked open, and tons of debris came crashing down, but before hitting the ground, they were pulverized into microscopic dust by the eight-colored force field surrounding Lin Feng and blown away into nothingness. Every inhalation and exhalation he made produced muffled thunderclaps echoing from deep within the earth, perfectly synchronizing with his heartbeat and the operation of the eight great star palaces within his sea of consciousness.
“Is this... Eight Elements United?”
Lin Feng’s voice rang out, not loud yet freighted with supreme might, reverberating across the subterranean rock walls to form layers of prolonged, unbroken acoustic resonance. Sensing the boundless power coursing through his veins, where every cell was cleansed and reinforced to perfection, a subtle, indescribable profundity flashed across Lin Feng’s eyes.
This power far surpassed anything he had experienced in his past life or throughout his cultivation journey in this world. If confronting a peak Super Tier powerhouse previously required calculating every step and expending considerable mental effort, now, with just a single thought deploying a combination of the Lightning Element and Space Element, he could tear an opponent into a hundred pieces before they even realized what had happened.
Yet, the shock did not stop there.
Just as Lin Feng intended to rein in his full halo to adapt to his new physical state, a sudden anomaly occurred!
The Primordial Dragon Pendant—the ancient artifact that had always rested quietly against his chest, the one that had accompanied him through countless life-or-death battles—suddenly grew burning hot like a block of iron baked in a steel-smelting furnace.
“Hmm?”
Lin Feng frowned, lowering his gaze to his chest. The Primordial Dragon Pendant no longer emitted its usual gentle glow; instead, its jade surface began to fracture with brilliant golden veins. A terrifyingly immense thermal energy, carrying an overwhelming and tyrannical primordial aura, suddenly spewed forth from the pendant, piercing through his clothing, directly scorching the skin across his chest, and spreading at a terrifying speed deep into his heart and lungs!
“Boom!”
It was a lung-ripping, bone-fracturing pain, as if tens of thousands of fiery needles were pricking every single muscle fiber and meridian. Yet that pain vanished in a split second, replaced by a wave of warmth—infinitely pure yet overwhelmingly tyrannical.
It was a drop of golden dragon blood!
The primordial true dragon blood, hidden deep within the fourth-layer seal of the Primordial Dragon Pendant, had completely melted at this moment and began fusing directly into Lin Feng’s spinal marrow!
“Crack... crack...”
The sound of bones shifting within Lin Feng’s body rang out crisp as spring thunder. Each of his vertebrae was transitioning from its normal hue to a shimmering gold, radiating the purest sacred dragon coercion. That drop of golden dragon blood flowed like a noble magma torrent through every blood vessel, washing away the old and regenerating his entire bone structure and spinal marrow from the roots.
Sweat poured from Lin Feng’s forehead, mixing with falling stone dust to form thin mud streaks across his sharp facial contours. Yet the corners of his mouth hooked upward slightly into a cold, arrogant smile.
The fourth-layer seal of the Primordial Dragon Pendant had been broken! And what awaited him ahead once this dragon blood fully fused would undoubtedly be far more than mere physical enhancement...
Outside the Kunlun cavern, the quiet night sky suddenly saw rolling dark clouds obscure the bright moon, and an eight-colored pillar of light combined with sacred golden dragon radiance abruptly tore through the clouds, shooting straight up into the highest nine heavens!
