Chapter 46: The Overlapping Phenomenon

Above the body of Taiyuan Immortal, a brilliant light of the Supreme Clarity (Taiqing) emerged, transforming into three clouds that continuously morphed and eventually took on the form of human bodies. These three bodies, although lacking the five orifices, possessed the strength of a mid-level Thirteen Banishment realm, equal to that of the Taiyuan Immortal's true self.

Lian Jiufeng furrowed his brows, unable to believe what he was seeing. These were not external avatars but the real self of the Taiyuan Immortal, far stronger than the avatars, and comparable to the true form itself. At this moment, Lian Jiufeng found himself surrounded by the four Taiyuan Immortal incarnations. A chill ran down his spine—one Taiyuan Immortal was already terrifying, but now there were four. Who in the same realm wouldn't feel intimidated?

Yet, a moment later, excitement surged within him. Wasn't the purpose of restoring Taiyuan Immortal for exactly this moment?

The young kings from various races watching the battle in the dimensional battlefield were left speechless, shivering in fear. If they couldn't even defeat a single Taiyuan Immortal incarnation, how could they possibly stand against four? Even the strongest among them, the holy angels' Snow Maiden and the fallen angels' Wu Yang, had no confidence.

"That move is called 'One Qi Transforming into Three Clear Ones.' Truly lives up to its name; this must be an immortal technique, right?"

"Yes, it definitely is an immortal technique, surpassing the eighteen bans."

"This mysterious figure pretending to be the Night Demon King, do you think he can withstand Taiyuan Immortal?"

"Impossible. Even against one Taiyuan Immortal, he's struggling. Facing four, there's no chance of victory."

"I think so too. He must have expended all his strength; he has no backup to face four immortals of the same realm."

"Still, he's impressive. He's stronger than any of us. Who exactly is he?"

The young kings from various races reached a unanimous conclusion: Lian Jiufeng could not defeat the Taiyuan Immortal. Even the God of War King, who considered Lian Jiufeng a friend, held no hope.

The four Taiyuan Immortal incarnations, all with the same aura, intent, and realm, looked terrifying together.

But Lian Jiufeng wasn't intimidated. After a brief pause, he smiled and said, "Is this your final trump card?"

The voice of the Taiyuan Immortal echoed, "One Qi Transforming into Three Clear Ones is a grand immortal technique I received when I was eight. After a century of cultivation, the three bodies now possess 90% of my power. What do you plan to fight with?"

Lian Jiufeng chuckled and replied, "You have your One Qi Transforming into Three Clear Ones. Do you think I have nothing else?"

The Taiyuan Immortal arrogantly declared, "If you can defeat me under these circumstances, I will admit that you are more talented than me. I will grant you any request you have."

Upon hearing this, Lian Jiufeng's eyes brightened. He immediately thought of the Sword God Emperor Liu, the human expert who was on the brink of death and needed transcendent power for salvation.

"It's a deal!" Lian Jiufeng decisively agreed.

Boom!

In the next moment, a violent force erupted from Lian Jiufeng's body, transforming into a vast sea of blue. The rippling waves spread throughout the palace, enveloping everyone, including the young kings of various races.

They all stared in confusion, unsure of what they were witnessing.

"What is this? It's not a technique, yet it holds terrifying power. It seems like a physical entity, but it's made of energy," the Five-Colored Skull King marveled, trying to comprehend the ocean-like phenomenon.

Snow Maiden, known for her vast knowledge, pondered for a moment before speaking, "This is an omen!"

Upon hearing this, everyone instantly realized.

"An omen... a phenomenon that represents a monumental or earth-shattering event that has been etched into the laws of nature, passed down as an omen for future generations to comprehend?" Wu Yang from the Fallen Angel tribe asked in surprise.

"Indeed, that's right. This is an omen, almost akin to a divine technique or martial art, and its power increases with one's cultivation level. It is a special reward from the Heavenly Dao," the Black Dragon King said in awe.

"I've heard that every omen recorded by heaven represents an extraordinary force. What is this one?" the Great Ape King wondered in astonishment.

"I don't know, omens are very mysterious. The ones recorded by heaven represent ancient stories, each containing immense power. But these stories are so ancient that no one remembers them. It's been a long time since anyone has grasped such an omen in the dimensional battlefield," the God of War King spoke thoughtfully, his eyes now filled with admiration for Lian Jiufeng.

"This mysterious figure has an omen, which seems to give him a chance to resist. This is going to be interesting," the Invincible King, usually reserved, commented, now focused on the battle, hoping to learn something from both Lian Jiufeng and the Taiyuan Immortal.

The Asura King, the Night Demon King, and the Golden Lion King all watched in shock as Lian Jiufeng was engulfed by the ocean. They were unable to escape as the palace was sealed off, forced to watch in silent envy.

Taiyuan Immortal, clearly surprised, said, "You've grasped an omen?"

After using One Qi Transforming into Three Clear Ones, he didn't immediately strike but gave Lian Jiufeng time to prepare.

The Taiyuan Immortal sought to defeat Lian Jiufeng honorably, to demonstrate that becoming an immortal meant one had never known defeat. Immortals were proud by nature, and he had not forgotten that Lian Jiufeng had held back earlier, waiting for the moment to prove that immortals were not to be trifled with.

Lian Jiufeng smiled at the Taiyuan Immortal and with a sudden surge of energy, the vast ocean behind him began to shift. A brilliant full moon slowly rose in the sky, casting a bright glow that illuminated Lian Jiufeng's figure, even though he currently appeared as a Night Demon. The moonlight made him radiate an unmatched aura.

Boom!

With the moon rising, the omen was fully revealed. The sea shimmered as if reflecting the light of the moon, and the pressure in the air increased. As the moonlight spread, it became a sharp weapon, slicing through the skin of the young kings of various races, causing their hair to stand on end as they felt the chill of impending death.

Everyone quickly retreated to the edges of the palace, giving space for Lian Jiufeng and the Taiyuan Immortal to face off.

"Sea-born Moon!" Taiyuan Immortal immediately recognized the omen and shouted, "The Sea-born Moon is impressive, but unfortunately, with your current realm, you cannot fully unleash its terrifying power. So, you still can't defeat me."

Lian Jiufeng smiled and, under the moonlight, calmly responded, "What if I add another?"

Boom!

The waves surged violently as a massive white carp with eyes holding the essence of yin and yang leapt from the sea. With its leap, Lian Jiufeng's omen increased in power tenfold. As the carp plunged back into the water, its eyes imbued the omen with the power of the Yin-Yang Dao, which Lian Jiufeng had just understood from the Taiyuan Immortal.

With the fish jumping, the omen's power surged again. Combined with the two omens, the strength multiplied, growing exponentially.

The young kings watching were stunned.

"He... he... he has comprehended a second omen?" the Golden Lion King stammered in shock.

"That white carp is terrifying! The moment I met its eyes, I felt my soul being sucked into an endless abyss, trapped forever. What kind of omen is this?" another king remarked in fear.

"Who is this person? Why can he comprehend two omens? I'm so jealous!" the Asura King slammed the ground in frustration.

"He's not just mastered two omens, he's combined them. This isn't just addition; it's exponential power!" Snow Maiden, overwhelmed, muttered in awe.

Even the Taiyuan Immortal was shaken, saying, "You've mastered two omens, and you can merge them?"

The ocean roared, and as Lian Jiufeng stood beneath the moonlight, he spoke, "I haven't mastered two omens."

Taiyuan Immortal, confused, said, "But this is two omens..."

Before he could finish, another massive lotus flower emerged from the sea, glowing with golden light. It bathed half the ocean in its radiance, complementing the moonlight perfectly.

Boom!

The appearance of the Golden Lotus of the Bitter Sea elevated the omen's power tenfold. The overwhelming pressure caused the young kings to gasp for air, struggling to resist.

Taiyuan Immortal was stunned once more. "A third omen? You've comprehended three omens?"

Before he could finish his sentence, another immaculate, otherworldly flower bloomed above the ocean. It existed in a mysterious space and swayed in the air, harmonizing with the sea, moon, lotus, and carp. Together, these four omens supported this vast, fused phenomenon.

Boom!

At that moment, the power of the omens increased another tenfold.

This wasn't a one-time increase of thirtyfold, but an exponential increase that kept multiplying the power of the omens. The final result was an overwhelming force that was unimaginable.

The sea surged, the moon shone down, the carp leaped from the water, the golden lotus purified suffering, and the otherworldly flower blossomed in beauty...

These forces combined into an awe-inspiring scene, leaving everyone, including the young kings and the Taiyuan Immortal, completely stunned.

Taiyuan Immortal, his voice full of complexity and difficulty, said, "You... you've comprehended four omens?"

This time, no interruption came. Lian Jiufeng nodded lightly and stood proudly under the moonlight, saying, "No matter how many 'Clear Ones' you have, whether it's one, three, or thirty, under my four omens, you have no chance."

Boom!

As he spoke, the power of the four omens surged through the palace, smashing into the four incarnations of the Taiyuan Immortal.

At that moment, there were no more ripples. The four bodies were instantly destroyed by the four omens, dissipating into pure energy.

Instant kill!

Lian Jiufeng looked around the empty palace and softly said, "I... am invincible at this level."

This had been his unbroken tradition ever since he began to rise, from the human realm to the dimensional battlefield.

Even immortals were powerless to break this tradition.

At this moment, the entire palace fell silent. Everyone stared in shock at Lian Jiufeng, as though they were witnessing a mythical monster, a god of war...
