NOVEL NEXT Chapter 99: Massive Improvement in Strength
The world around Feng Xuan was silent, yet his body trembled as if it was still resonating with the heavens. His breathing was steady, his chest rising and falling rhythmically as golden light slowly faded from his skin. The last traces of the Solar Nirvana Pill's power still coursed through his veins, its energy lingering like the sun's warmth after sunset.
He had succeeded.
Feng Xuan slowly opened his eyes, which now held a glint of something beyond mortal comprehension. His body felt lighter yet immeasurably powerful, his muscles brimming with boundless energy. He could feel the transformation—his very existence had stepped into a realm unknown to this world.
He clenched his fist, testing his strength, and as he did, his soul power surged within him like a mighty tide. His cultivation base had reached the peak of Spirit Elder at level 36, but he could sense that his potential had skyrocketed far beyond that. His foundation was now so solid that just absorbing a suitable soul ring could propel him toward the threshold of the Soul King realm.
But before he could even take a step forward, something unexpected happened.
A deep rumbling echoed in his soul space, and suddenly, a golden-red light burst forth from his Sun God Armor, illuminating the dark cave like a divine sunrise. Feng Xuan's breath hitched. The energy was not coming from himself but from his second martial spirit!
The golden-red glow coalesced above his palm, and before he could react, a brand-new soul ring materialized, descending upon his Sun God Armor like a gift from the heavens.
The ring shimmered with an ethereal purple-gold radiance, pulsating with pure, divine energy. The moment it settled around his martial spirit, an explosion of power surged through his meridians. A new spirit ability had been unlocked!
Feng Xuan staggered slightly, his body struggling to contain the surge. His soul power shot up uncontrollably, blasting past level **40, then 45, and finally stabilizing at 49, mere inches away from breaking into the Soul King realm.
His breath came out in heavy gasps as he absorbed this reality.
"This… is beyond what I expected."
Never in Douluo Continent's history had a cultivator advanced this rapidly through natural means. Even with the miraculous Solar Nirvana Pill, such an explosive breakthrough should not have been possible. Yet, his body not only endured it but embraced it, adapting to the overwhelming force.
But it wasn't just his cultivation level that had changed.
Deep within his consciousness, his mindspace—a realm where his spiritual energy resided—began to shift.
He closed his eyes and felt himself drawn into his own inner world.
The familiar golden domain of his mindspace stretched before him, yet something was different. The once serene energy had turned more vibrant, more complete.
Before today, his elemental affinity encompassed the Five Basic Elements—Fire, Water, Earth, Wind, and Metal—all of which had reached an unparalleled level of purity. His control over them had already surpassed what most spirit masters could dream of.
But now… there was something new.
Above the five swirling elemental energies, a sixth force crackled to life.
A deep, rumbling boom echoed through the space as golden lightning surged across the sky. Unlike the other elements, which carried an air of balance, this one radiated pure destructive force—wild, untamed, yet boundlessly powerful.
Feng Xuan lifted his hand, watching the crackling arcs of golden lightning dance between his fingers. His eyes widened as he realized its origin.
The tribulation lightning.
The very force that had descended upon him during the pill refinement had now been absorbed into his body, becoming his sixth ultimate element.
Lightning—the divine element of judgment and destruction.
His mind raced. No one in Douluo's history had ever achieved ultimate mastery over all five elements, let alone gained a sixth divine element. It was simply unheard of.
This was not just a breakthrough—it was an evolution beyond human comprehension.
But he did not let arrogance cloud his mind. He clenched his fist and felt the balance between his elements. Fire, Water, Earth, Wind, Metal, and now Lightning—each existed in perfect harmony, revolving around a single point in his soul.
It was as if he had become a walking embodiment of nature itself.
A slow, confident smile crept onto his lips.
"This… is only the beginning."
Feng Xuan's eyes snapped open. The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well still bubbled softly nearby, its mystical energy filling the cave. He took a deep breath, feeling his new power settle into his body.
His muscles were brimming with raw strength, his reflexes felt sharper, and his mind clearer than ever before. Even his Sun God Armor had undergone a change—it shone brighter, infused with the purified energy of the tribulation lightning.
He slowly stood up, stretching his body as a golden aura naturally radiated from him. His clothes fluttered slightly, and his very presence seemed to warp the space around him.
For the first time in his life, he felt truly limitless.
He turned his gaze toward the mystical Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, where Ah Yin had been planted safely near the edge. The Vedic mantra he had chanted earlier had formed a faint golden shield around her, protecting her from the corrosive energies.
He nodded in satisfaction. She would be safe.
Then, his mind shifted to another matter—the herbs he had collected. He had succeeded in refining a single pill that contained the essence of multiple immortal herbs. Now, it was time to test its full effects.
But that could wait.
Right now, he needed to adjust to his newfound power and prepare for the battles ahead.
"Tang Hao, you just wait due to your arrogance you had put my master in the condition to use his power which is why he now in yogic nindra to recover" Thought Feng Xuan.
It is not certain if he will kill Tang Hao when time comes. But one thing was certain:
He had taken his first step toward the realm of gods.
His name, Feng Xuan, would soon shake the heavens themselves.
