Volume 52 — Dominion of the Fourth Secret
The battlefield outside the Core Archives roared with energy. Lin Feng hovered at its center, petals of the First Bloom spinning violently, radiating a storm of radiant light. The cultivators who had come to challenge him now faced not just a master—they faced the full potential of the fourth secret.
Caiyi's eyes widened as she observed him. "Lin Feng… the palace isn't just aiding you—it's flowing through you. Every movement, every attack… it's like the battlefield itself bends to your will!"
Lin Feng's aura flared, petals spinning faster. "Exactly. The fourth secret isn't just perception or insight—it's mastery over energy, space, and strategy. Watch carefully, Caiyi. This is how we control the battlefield."
Host, the Peach Spirit whispered, now is the time to demonstrate the offensive capabilities of the fourth secret. Every strike, every maneuver can be amplified through the palace's energy. The enemies' coordination is your opportunity.
The cultivators launched a coordinated assault, a wave of energy attacks, illusions, and shadow techniques aimed to overwhelm Lin Feng. But he moved with perfect synchronization, anticipating every strike before it landed. Petals cut through the energy streams, redirected attacks, and created openings for counter-assaults.
Caiyi followed, striking where Lin Feng guided her, exploiting gaps he revealed with precise perception. "It's… amazing! Every strike is calculated, every movement predicted. It's like we're reading their strategy before they even execute it!"
The enemies faltered. Their once coordinated assault began to crumble as Lin Feng's mastery of the fourth secret reshaped the battlefield. Rocks shifted, energy flows twisted in his favor, and even the air itself seemed to aid his movements.
Lin Feng's voice rang out, confident and commanding. "This is the true power of the fourth secret! Not just to survive, but to dominate the battlefield!"
A blinding surge of radiant energy erupted from the First Bloom, spiraling outward, dismantling enemy formations and scattering their attacks. The cultivators were forced to retreat, their cohesion broken, unable to withstand the sheer precision and control Lin Feng wielded.
Caiyi exhaled, awe in her voice. "Lin Feng… the fourth secret… it's complete. The palace is fully yours now."
Lin Feng hovered above the battlefield, petals spinning like a storm, aura harmonized with the Obsidian Root Palace. "This is just the beginning. The true journey of the fourth secret has begun, and nothing will stand in our way."
