Along the way, Chen Fei once again saw those talents from before, a smile on his face.

In the past, Chen Fei had some lingering attachment to the talents of Resilience and Iron Skin Bronze Bones, after all, these talents could truly enhance his strength.

But every time he came to the void, he always encountered better ones, or ones that were more needed, what should Chen Fei do?

Of course, he should choose the better ones!

Now, with the Adamantine Body talent in tow, Chen Fei had completely lost his thoughts about Iron Skin Bronze Bones and Iron Skin Bronze Bones, as for the Resilience talent, there was still a little, but not much.

The Adamantine Body talent, when raised to the level of perfection, increased the upper limit of pressure reduction and injury by forty percent, and increased strength by forty percent.

Why did Chen Fei immediately leave after seeing the Adamantine Body? It was because the improvement he received was just too insane.

The talent of Prison Suppression was already exaggerated enough, it could increase the upper limit of injury reduction by sixty percent, but this was only for one aspect, and now with the Adamantine Body, both attack and defense were increased by forty percent each, which added up to eighty percent.

It wasn’t easy to directly compare the improvement in two aspects with the improvement in one aspect, after all, sometimes improving one aspect was extremely difficult.

However, for Chen Fei now, the Adamantine Body talent was the best choice.

As long as Chen Fei raised the Adamantine Body to the state of perfection, his overall strength would undergo explosive growth.

There was also the talent, Sword Dominating the Galaxy, and Chen Fei was looking forward to the final bonus it would provide.

At this moment, the talent was ceaseless, slowly absorbing the essence and integrating it into the soul, fust as Chen Fei had speculated before, the ceaseless talent could indeed provide some help in this void.

The help wasn’t exaggerated, but the fact that Chen Fei could run so far and obtain the Adamantine Body talent meant that the ceaseless talent had definitely played a role.

Dragging the talent along, Chen Fei returned to the starting point, his soul passing through the void barrier.

The next moment, as the soul returned to its place, the fourth Divine Palace trembled slightly because of the arrival of the Adamantine Body talent, then quickly stabilized.

Choosing talents in the void, an instant seemed like a thousand years. Within the Black Divine’s Barrier, it was as quick as blinking, and Chen Fei had already completed this task.

However, the matter of breakthrough was not truly finished after selecting the talents.

The Purple Sky Stellar Sword automatically operated, tens of thousands of arrays interconnecting between the first three Divine Palaces, giving rise to a sense of unity.

For other cultivators in the Mountain Sea Realm, breaking through from the initial stage to the middle stage and forging the fourth Divine Palace was a hurdle, connecting the previous three Divine Palaces together was also a hurdle.

But for Chen Fei, none of these barriers existed. The Purple Sky Stellar Sword directly completed all of this automatically. This was the effect brought about by the top-tier technique of the perfected stage.

Due to the different cultivation techniques, there were slight differences in the Divine Palaces of the Mountain Sea Realm. After breaking through the realm, the array patterns interconnecting between the Divine Palaces varied greatly.

Between Chen Fei’s three Divine Palaces, there were tens of thousands of array patterns, which was already considered the most top-notch way of connection, where the Divine Palaces were interconnected, like a whole.

The result of this was that Chen Fei could fully unleash the power of the three Divine Palaces simultaneously without reservation. The elemental force output between each move would be several times stronger than before the breakthrough.

Purple electric lights intertwined around Chen Fei, and the surrounding black mist was dispelled as soon as it approached.

This phenomenon lasted for a moment before slowly dissipating, and Chen Fei’s aura reached its peak.

Each Divine Palace was presided over by a talent, which meant that Chen Fei didn’t need to nurture his foundation at all. His foundation was already incredibly solid.

Chen Fei opened his eyes, a purple light flashing in them. He slowly clenched his fists, and the powerful force circulated freely within his body.

Not only did breaking through to the middle stage of the Mountain Sea Realm bestow power, but there was also the new talent, Adamantine Body, providing additional bonuses.

Currently, the Adamantine Body talent was still in its introductory stage, with a one percent increase in both strength and damage reduction.

Combined with the forty percent damage reduction from the talent, Domain Suppression, Chen Fei’s maximum pressure limit had reached fifty percent.

Breaking through to the middle stage of the Mountain Sea Realm inherently increased defensive power. On top of this, adding another fifty percent, Chen Fei’s defense now far exceeded what it was before the breakthrough.

That’s how talents worked; the stronger your foundation, the greater the bonuses they could provide.

Compared to many fixed bonuses, like spiritual treasures or certain techniques, talents would grow stronger with you, truly accompanying you throughout your life.

In addition to damage reduction, the one percent increase in strength from the Adamantine Body talent was the most noticeable change for Chen Fei at the moment.

At this moment, Chen Fei had a feeling that he could penetrate through heaven and earth.

This sensation was a result of the sudden increase in strength.

As Chen Fei continued to operate the Purple Sky Stellar Sword, this feeling gradually faded away.

Techniques were the best way to adapt to and utilize power. Chen Fei’s body occasionally flashed with purple light, until even the purple light disappeared, and Chen Fei’s aura completely stabilized.

Chen Fei relaxed his fist, and the remaining medicinal power in his body only laid a foundation for the construction of the fifth Divine Palace.

After breaking through to the middle stage of the Mountain Sea Realm, cultivating the Divine Palaces required even greater elemental force. While the Purple Spirit Pill had an excellent effect in the early stages of the Mountain Sea Realm, its effectiveness significantly decreased in the middle stage.

Similarly, the Heavenly Rain Flower, which could increase the number of Divine Palaces, had its effects diminished in the middle stage of the Mountain Sea Realm, though it could still enhance up to half a Divine Palace, which was considered the utmost absorption.

Chen Fei opened his left hand, and the Shadow Lock Bow flew into his palm. As he pulled the bowstring, his brows furrowed involuntarily.

The bow’s power had weakened. Compared to Chen Fei’s current strength, the Shadow Lock Bow, which was at the level of a low-grade spiritual treasure, had difficulty showcasing his full power.

Of course, even in the early stages of the Mountain Sea Realm, it couldn’t fully demonstrate his strength, but it wasn’t as exaggerated as it was now.

Now, with the Shadow Lock Bow in hand, Chen Fei found it naturally easier to kill Fourth-Tier early-stage monsters, as his elemental force output had increased.

However, attempting to kill Fourth-Tier mid-stage monsters with it might not yield ideal results. He could only rely on arrows to gradually wear down the monsters.

With the time he had, Chen Fei could charge in, sword raised and falling, not even knowing how many monsters he had already slain.

Although the Qianyuan Sword was also a low-grade spiritual treasure and its current assistance had diminished greatly, compared to the bow and arrow, it still provided some assistance.

“To elevate all four spiritual treasures to the middle grade, I’ll need to exchange for quite a few spiritual materials and earthly treasures.”

Chen Fei pondered deeply. The Qianyuan Sword and the Concealment Bell were still manageable, especially since they had absorbed so much spiritual essence previously. It was just a matter of the final push.

But the Shadow Lock Bow and the Astonishing Spirit lade Pendant were more troublesome, especially the latter. It had unique functions, and obtaining suitable spiritual materials for it would likely require a significant amount of contribution points.

Chen Fei looked towards the distance. Previously, when he saw a cluster of monsters, he knew it was better to avoid them. Engaging in a direct fight would be more trouble than it was worth.

Now, it all depended on whether these monsters could withstand a few strikes from Chen Fei!

With a slight sway of his figure, Chen Fei disappeared from his original position, reappearing a hundred meters away, heading towards the direction of the entrance to the Stone Forest Gorge.

A moment later, before Chen Fei had reached the entrance of the Stone Forest Gorge, he saw several monsters gathered together.

One mid-stage Fourth-Tier monster and three early-stage Fourth-Tier monsters.

Chen Fei had actually seen these monsters yesterday, but at that time, there was another mid-stage Fourth-Tier monster among them.

If he had seen this number of monsters yesterday, Chen Fei would have dealt with them immediately.

After all, what troubled Chen Fei at that time was being surrounded by two mid-stage Fourth-Tier monsters or higher.

Chen Fei stopped in his tracks, drew his bow, and nocked an arrow. The next moment, the arrow disappeared from the bow, and with a loud explosion, a massive sonic boom cloud appeared behind Chen Fei.

Several miles away, the monsters who were aimlessly wandering suddenly sensed something and subconsciously looked up.

“Bang!”

The monster’s head instantly exploded, its entire body propelled forward by a tremendous force.

Before the monster’s body could hit the ground, another arrow followed, shattering the headless monster’s body in midair.

Under the might of these two arrows, the monster’s formidable self-healing and vitality were obliterated, and its aura disappeared completely, leaving only a spiritual light floating towards Chen Fei.

Compared to a few days ago, when Chen Fei needed four or five arrows to kill a Fourth-Tier early-stage monster, now only two were needed.

One arrow for the head, one for the body!

Killing monsters could be this simple.

“Roar!”

As one monster fell, the remaining monsters immediately reacted.

There was no fear or retreat in the monsters’ emotions. In their minds, there was only madness to tear apart their opponents before death.

Facing such monsters, strong in self-healing and unafraid of death, it was easy to deal with when there was a gap in strength.

However, if the strength was similar, whether in the Mountain Sea Realm or among the Monster Kings, the outcome was uncertain.

The mid-stage Fourth-Tier monster led the charge towards Chen Fei, with the other two early-stage Fourth-Tier monsters following closely behind.

Chen Fei stood his ground, continuing to draw his bow and nock arrows.

The next moment, several arrows flew out, and behind Chen Fei, due to the sonic boom cloud, even the black mist dissipated significantly, forming a blank area.

Although the two early-stage Fourth-Tier monsters were somewhat prepared, they were still shattered in midair by Chen Fei’s arrows, with their fate not much better than the first monster.

When there was a huge difference in strength, fearlessness wasn’t a decisive factor anymore. It didn’t even count as a factor determining the outcome of the battle.

When strength was inferior, engaging in combat often led to death. Whether it was against humans or monsters.

Chen Fei hadn’t wanted to face the crushing outcome one day, so he had needed to work harder to improve his own realm.

As the three monsters fell, the remaining mid-stage Fourth-Tier monster’s aura had become increasingly ferocious.

Lack of wisdom hadn’t meant no intelligence at all. The death of its companions had still strongly stimulated the monster, making it even more frenzied.

The black mist on the monster’s body had begun to condense on its surface, its entire body turning as dark as an abyss. In the blink of an eye, the monster had been in front of Chen Fei, its gaping maw lunging towards Chen Fei’s head.

The Shadow Lock Bow had flown to Chen Fei’s back, and Chen Fei had slowly drawn out the Qianyuan Sword, its sharp light circulating on the blade.
