Advancing to the third level of the Sorrowful Technique, Xu Feng's eyes transformed from profound depth to an empty void, resembling an unfathomable abyss. You cannot see through him, yet he can see right through you.
Seeing into a person's thoughts also reveals the images of their life.
The Shattered Realm not only manipulates thoughts but also possesses a powerful strike that can penetrate a person's eyes, targeting the heart and extinguishing the vitality of the soul.
Once the soul is extinguished, a person becomes nothing more than a walking corpse.
Killing and annihilating souls, harming reason; no wonder this level is called the Shattered Realm.
"With the lethality of the Shattered Realm, cultivators at the Early Stage of Great Achievement are utterly defenseless."
Xu Feng retracted his aura and smiled as he walked out of the building, following the usual practice to visit the three cultivators in the cave.
Zeng An and Han Lei were still the same as before, while Lu Zhongxiang had stopped practicing his sword. Perhaps realizing that he could not change the final outcome, he resolutely halted at the last step.
The four rarely gathered together, enjoying tea and chatting in Han Lei's courtyard.
As Xu Feng concealed his aura, the three could not discern his mastery of the Sorrowful Technique; they only felt that Xu Feng had changed compared to before, though they could not pinpoint how.
During their conversation, Zeng An brought up Serpent Beauty. Over the past fifty years, Serpent Beauty had become somewhat irritable, seemingly growing increasingly impatient with the four. Knowing that Zeng An and the others intended to stall for time, she issued a final ultimatum: if they did not advance to the Great Perfection Stage within ten years, she would kill them all.
Every time Serpent Beauty visited, she found Xu Feng practicing and was quite satisfied with his performance.
"Ten years," Xu Feng pondered for a moment and said, "Ten years it is. After ten years, we will go out together."
Zeng An and Lu Zhongxiang were taken aback. "Are you joking?"
Han Lei had heard Xu Feng say such things before and merely smiled in response.
Xu Feng knew that the three of them did not believe him, and he did not explain. He returned to his building alone.
Watching Xu Feng leave, Zeng An said, "What can he do in ten years?"
Lu Zhongxiang replied, "He is at the same level as us; what can he do? Even if he advances before us, it only means he will be killed by the snake demon first."
Han Lei, however, said, "I think Xu Feng will achieve something. He has been diligently cultivating for over two hundred years; he should have already reached the Great Perfection Stage. Yet, he has remained at the peak. With only ten years left, he must have some significant plans."
The three of them had their own thoughts, waiting for Xu Feng to come out and see what would happen. If Xu Feng could not come up with an effective solution in ten years, even if the three of them reached the Great Perfection Stage, they would undoubtedly face death.
Upon returning to the building, Xu Feng activated the Control Technique. The dense Spiritual Energy from Snake Island surged wildly and flowed into every part of his body.
The Control Technique absorbed energy at a rate hundreds of times greater than that of ordinary cultivators. Even exceptionally talented Single Spiritual Root cultivators would find it hard to compare.
Xu Feng was already at the Divine Separation Peak, just one step away from Great Achievement. Having refined two Great Achievement Stage Cultivators, he had a solid foundation in laws, making it easy for him to advance to Great Achievement within ten years.
If it weren't for practicing the Sorrowful Technique, Xu Feng would have already reached the Great Perfection Stage.
Outside the building, visible spirals of spiritual power gathered and were rapidly drawn into the building.
Han Lei and the others watched in astonishment; it was incredible! It was as if a Spiritual Energy pipeline had been installed; most of the spiritual power in the cave was being absorbed by him.
At this rate, forget about ten years; at most in eight years, Xu Feng would advance to the Great Perfection Stage.
Sure enough, in the seventh year, Xu Feng emerged from the building, his powerful spiritual energy filling his entire being. With every movement, he exuded an imposing presence without anger. However, his eyes did not shine as expected but instead appeared ordinary and unremarkable.
After seven years of intense cultivation, Xu Feng successfully advanced to the Great Perfection Stage!
Great Achievement refers to the Xian Dao being perfected, reaching a terminal realm of cultivation, both in physical form and in principles. The Transcendence Period is a further step beyond the Great Perfection Stage. This step is crucial, as it will lead to tribulations that eliminate rebels. If one survives the Transcending Tribulation, they can escape the mortal realm and ascend to the celestial world.
The Early Stage of Great Achievement’s Yuan Ying is several times more powerful than the Divine Separation Stage, standing half the height of its original body. If one reaches the Late Stage of Great Achievement, they will be as tall as their original body, achieving a fusion of spirit and flesh, becoming an Indestructible Body.
At this point, the Yuan Ying is strong and resilient, having undergone multiple purifications through laws. It is no longer afraid of sunlight and can walk in broad daylight, unlike the Divine Separation Stage, which can only move at night, marking a qualitative leap.
The Control Technique has no attribute restrictions. Xu Feng still chose to advance with the Fire Element One Star. Firstly, he is familiar with it, making breakthroughs easier; secondly, he only possesses one Fire Element One Star Dao Artifact Butcher's Blade.
Upon advancing to the Great Perfection Stage, Xu Feng saw a significant increase in his various powers. The full potential of the Butcher's Blade and the Golden Law Bow was unleashed, while the Gale Sword Formation improved rapidly. Due to reaching the third realm of the Sorrowful Technique, his mental strength greatly increased, allowing him to control Eighty Supreme Flying Swords, doubling their number.
Even if Walker had three heads and six arms, escaping death would be difficult against the Eighty Supreme Flying Swords.
The environment in the cave was not conducive for deploying the Sword Formation, and since Xu Feng did not have eighty Flying Swords available, he could only wait until they were outside to use the Gale Sword Formation.
As soon as the three saw Xu Feng emerge, they hurried over to congratulate him on his advancement to Great Achievement. While it was indeed a cause for celebration, given the circumstances, it felt awkward—was this a farewell or a congratulation?
If it weren't for avoiding the serpent demon, they would have advanced to Great Achievement long ago.
As expected, just as the four met, the cave door swung open, and Serpent Beauty appeared at the entrance with a beaming smile. "Congratulations, Xu Feng! You've advanced to the Great Perfection Stage so quickly! Unlike those three old ghosts who have been stuck for three or four hundred years. Hmm, I like this."
Xu Feng smiled back and said, "Xu Feng owes all this to your grace. Without your auspicious location, I could never have advanced this quickly."
Serpent Beauty laughed and replied, "Oh no, this is all due to your exceptional talent and hard work. Come on, let’s have a drink; it's my small token of appreciation."
"Thank you very much, Your Majesty!"
Both had ulterior motives but appeared like long-lost friends meeting after hundreds of years. If not for their prior understanding of Xu Feng, Han Lei and the others might have thought he was also a serpent demon.
A person and a demon laughed as they walked out together. Bang! The stone door closed again, leaving the three of them in a daze.
Serpent Beauty did not emerge from the cave but instead led Xu Feng into another cave.
"Where are we going?"
"To my Refining Heart Cave."
"Whose heart are we refining?"
"Of course, it's yours!"
Outside the Refining Heart Cave, Serpent Beauty suddenly turned hostile and fiercely threw a punch at Xu Feng. "Don't think that just because you've reached the Great Perfection Stage, you can escape from me. Let me tell you, don't dream about it. Just let me refine your heart."
Xu Feng was already on guard and swiftly dodged.
Seeing Serpent King make a move, the snake demons inside rushed over to help. Serpent Beauty shouted, "Get back! What are you all doing here for a single human? Scram!" The snake demons were all scolded back.
Noticing Xu Feng's evasive movements, Serpent Beauty slightly praised him. "Indeed stronger than before. However, with just this little skill, if you think you can escape, you'd better save your energy and accept your fate."
A giant tail appeared behind Serpent Beauty, resembling a massive spear as it suddenly lunged at Xu Feng.
Blade King was sent flying by this tail; Serpent Beauty's strike was even more ferocious than Blade King's Cicada Wing Blade.
Xu Feng drew out Butcher's Blade and swung it against the wind. "Do you want to stab me to death?"
As Serpent Beauty's tail was halfway through its attack and heard Xu Feng's voice, it felt as if someone had struck her with a heavy blow, causing her vision to darken slightly and her tail slowed down. Xu Feng seized the opportunity and delivered a powerful slash, neutralizing the tail's assault.
Serpent Beauty shook her head, waking up and questioning, "What kind of Cultivation Method is this?" Her tail, however, could not be stopped and continued to lash out wildly.
Xu Feng retreated while blocking, his eyes constantly searching for Serpent Beauty's gaze. He said, "Look at me, and I'll tell you what this Cultivation Method is."
Finally, their eyes met. Serpent Beauty felt a void in her heart, as if she had been pulled into a Ten Thousand Years deep well, surrounded by darkness and utterly lost.
"You... what kind of monster are you!" Serpent Beauty desperately shook her head, relying on her strong will to escape from Xu Feng's Sorrowful Technique.
"How could I be a monster? I'm human; you're the monster. I'm not; I'm really not."
Serpent Beauty dared not look into Xu Feng's eyes, her offensive slowing down. Yet Xu Feng's voice seemed to carry an irresistible charm, continuously striking at her heart.
"I'm not a monster, but I want to know if you are one. What kind of monster are you? Why do you want to be a monster? What's so good about being a monster? You don't understand art, you don't understand computers, and you can't play games. How about I teach you how to play tractor? Do you know what a tractor is? You don't know, right? Come on, let me slowly explain it to you..."
Waves of sound and a series of incomprehensible terms flooded into Serpent Beauty's ears. She managed to free one hand to cover her left ear, but since her right ear was still open, she covered that one too.
The sound was gone; her hands were no longer there.
Not daring to listen or look, Xu Feng sneered coldly. The Golden Law Bow emitted a bright light and shot out like lightning.
With a whoosh! The arrow from the Golden Law Bow struck Serpent Beauty's eye, entering through the right eye and exiting through the left brain, blood spraying over ten feet high.
With a crash! Severely injured, Serpent Beauty could no longer maintain her human form and revealed her true self—a thirty to forty-foot-long spotted sea snake appeared in the Cave of Snake Island.
One of her snake eyes was blinded by Xu Feng, but it was not fatal. In an instant, Serpent Beauty transformed into the Ugly Serpent Man.
The Ugly Serpent Man let out an angry roar as his massive tail struck out once more.
The cave was too narrow for the snake's body to coil up, rendering its most powerful "coiling" technique useless; it could only rely on its tail to whip and stab.
Xu Feng continuously emitted the Outsider's Demonic Melody to disrupt the Ugly Serpent Man's focus, while the Golden Law Bow rained down arrows upon the serpent's head.
The Royal Beast's hide was incredibly tough, and the Low-Grade Dao Artifact couldn't penetrate it. Xu Feng could only aim for the serpent's head with the Golden Law Bow. After dozens of arrows, one finally found a gap in the defenses and struck the remaining left eye of the Serpent Man.
With a bang, the eye exploded, and the Serpent Man was completely blinded.
Hearing the commotion, nearby snake demons rushed over, only to witness the Serpent Man being shot blind. Its frenzied body thrashed about wildly, causing chaos. The snake demons, possessing only Transformation Period cultivation, had no way to evade and were swept away by the rampaging Ugly Serpent Man. Seeing the situation turn dire, the other snake demons quickly fled.
With its eyes shot out and Arrow Force having injured its brain through its eyes, the Serpent Man's condition worsened, and its thrashing body grew weaker.
Xu Feng took out the Butcher's Blade, waited for the right moment, flew next to the Serpent Man, and struck down at the soft spot on its neck.
With a whoosh! The massive snake head flew off as the Serpent Man was slain in one blow.
