Chapter 128: Predestined by Fate
Heavenly Emperor's Dao Field.
At its very core stood an Imperial Palace. Deep within the palace, darkness reigned until a sudden burst of light erupted, spreading like the Primordial Divine Radiance of creation itself, illuminating the surroundings.
A colossal yet graceful figure sat cross-legged within. Before this figure hovered a massive mirror, reflecting an entire world. The images within the mirror shifted continuously before finally settling on one scene.
It was a young figure—eyebrows sharp as swords, eyes cold as stars, handsome as jade, clad in a Sky Cloud Robe. Divine radiance seemed to surge from every part of his body, as if a divine scion had descended to the mortal realm.
"A Mortal Body, yet..."
"Supreme Body Forging Realm, unlocking the Hidden Treasure of the body to grasp Destiny Power, with a physique surpassing even the True Supreme Body Forging Realm..."
"Three hundred and sixty acupoints opened, practicing the Great Zhou Heaven Star Aperture Refining Technique, acupoints like stars, internal energy liquefied as if Condensing Truth, forging the Invincible Heart, and even mastering a Great Dao Divine Character..."
"Such a foundation surpasses ordinary God-Grade Divine Traits, approaching the level of a Supreme-Grade Divine Trait..."
"Not a Divine Trait, yet surpassing one. To think such a junior could emerge among the humans of the Linghuang Domain. Very well, let this Emperor see your origins..."
The towering figure murmured to itself, its voice clear as water, each word carrying an inexplicable Dao-like majesty.
After a moment of calculation, the figure let out a soft exclamation.
"Oh? This child's bloodline... shares the same origin as this Emperor's true form..."
"In that case, this Emperor shall grant you a small boon..."

Stepping through the portal, Chen Feng's feet landed on solid ground.
His body trembled involuntarily as he immediately sensed the overwhelming density of spiritual energy here—at least ten times richer than within the Huntian Sect.
Of course, it paled in comparison to the secret realms where the Saints slumbered, but it was still astonishing.
Surveying his surroundings, the sky stretched endlessly blue, with distant mountains and nearby waters forming a breathtakingly beautiful landscape. Wisps of spiritual mist drifted through the air, making it seem like a paradise on earth.
Taking a deep breath, Chen Feng inhaled vast amounts of spiritual energy.
The higher one's cultivation, the greater their tolerance for external spiritual energy, so he experienced no Spiritual Drunkenness.
As the energy flooded his body, Chen Feng felt an unparalleled comfort.
But then, the Divine Talisman Of Creation within him suddenly trembled. A sensation of being watched flashed through his mind—there one moment, gone the next, as if it were an illusion.
Immediately after, another peculiar feeling arose.
It was as if something was guiding him.
"Could it be the Divine Talisman Of Creation's guidance?" Chen Feng wondered.
He couldn't think of any other explanation.
Little did he know, it was the doing of a certain presence within the Heavenly Emperor's Dao Field.
Following this intangible guidance, Chen Feng immediately dashed forward, his body moving like a Dragon across the land—nimble, agile, and swift.
Through countless battles, insights, and training, Chen Feng had not only greatly elevated his swordplay but also refined his other martial arts.
His Movement Technique was second only to his swordsmanship.
The further he advanced, the clearer the guidance became, as though something awaited him ahead.

At the portal controlled by the Tianyuan Sacred Land, ten figures entered one after another.
"The Heavenly Emperor's Dao Field is a small world, vast and boundless. Why don't we split up to search for Chen Feng?" one of them spoke.
"Makes sense."
The other nine agreed.
Each of them was originally at the Condensing Truth Realm, peerless geniuses possessing Saint-Grade Divine Traits. They had suppressed two realms of cultivation just to kill Chen Feng.
Moving together as ten would be safer but less efficient.
(To be continued...)
Besides, they didn’t believe killing Chen Feng required all ten of them to join forces.
One was enough!
Chen Feng was indeed formidable—invincible in the same realm, having initially forged an Invincible Heart—but so what?
They were originally Condensing Truth Realm cultivators.
How vast was the gap between the Aperture Opening Realm and the Condensing Truth Realm?
Immeasurable.
Though they had suppressed two realms, their martial arts mastery and divine trait powers remained unaffected.
Once the ten reached a consensus, they immediately set off in different directions.
Each of them burned with fervor.
If they killed Chen Feng, they would be richly rewarded by the Sacred Land upon their return.
……
"Chen Feng, this time, I will crush and kill you here."
Luo Mingfei, the Saint Son of Tianyuan Sacred Land, sprinted through the Heavenly Emperor's Dao Field, muttering to himself.
The humiliation he suffered in the Hidden Dragon Secret Realm was etched into his bones—an unbearable disgrace.
Only by suppressing and killing Chen Feng could it be erased.
……
The Dao Field’s small world was incredibly vast.
Lush vegetation, towering mountain ranges, roaring rivers, and countless palaces and towers stood scattered throughout.
Following an intangible guidance, Chen Feng arrived deep within a dense forest after about half an hour, where a 100-meter tall tower stood.
The tower was entirely black, with ten floors in total.
Before it stood a stone tablet inscribed with text.
The message was clear: challenge this tower, reach the tenth floor, and obtain an opportunity.
Without hesitation, Chen Feng pushed open the tower door and stepped inside.
A demonic beast materialized, its aura overwhelmingly powerful—reaching the peak of the Meridian Forging Realm.
A Level Three Demonic Beast.
Chen Feng threw a punch, his formidable physique and internal energy erupting in unison, crushing the beast effortlessly.
The second floor held two Level Three peak demonic beasts.
The third floor, four.
The number doubled with each floor, while their cultivation matched Chen Feng’s.
But even some of the strongest on the Huntian Sect’s Strongest Qi Sea Ranking were no match for Chen Feng, let alone a few beasts of the same level.
Shattering all obstacles, he reached the tenth floor.
No demonic beasts awaited him there—only an expanse of emptiness, with a cluster of starlight floating at the center, radiant yet gentle, its contents indistinct.
Chen Feng’s gaze swept over it before locking onto the luminous glow.
He knew instantly—this was the reward.
At the same time, he sensed clearly that this starlight was the very thing that had drawn him here.
Reaching out, he enveloped it with his internal energy and grasped it firmly.
The starlight condensed, transforming into a pill the size of an egg, dotted with flickering starlight. Through his perception, Chen Feng could feel the immense, staggering energy contained within—far surpassing even the Star Origin Liquid refined from asteroids.
Not only that, Chen Feng could also feel the intense surge of qi and blood within him, as if transforming into a roaring blood dragon, brimming with fervent desire. It seemed this pill held immense benefits for his qi and blood, and even his physique.
"Could this pill help me achieve the eighth level of the Huntian Sword Body?" Chen Feng suddenly wondered.
After a brief contemplation, he decisively tossed the pill into his mouth and swallowed it whole. Though it was the size of an egg, even if it had been as large as a goose egg, he could have swallowed it in one gulp.
The moment the pill entered his stomach, an incomparably terrifying torrent of power erupted, overwhelming and unstoppable. Even Chen Feng’s exceptionally robust physique felt as though it might collapse under the strain, teetering on the brink of being shattered.
(To be continued...)
Of course, it wouldn’t truly break him—it would just take a considerable amount of time to refine and absorb.
The Divine Talisman Of Creation intervened.
The vast, surging power was swiftly absorbed and refined. Though much of it was lost in the process, what remained was far purer and, most importantly, incredibly gentle.
Seizing the opportunity, Chen Feng sat down and began circulating the Huntian Sword Body technique.
"Little one is in a hurry, isn’t he? To fully refine this Star Origin Pill with your current cultivation, it would take at least a month..."
"Ah well, since you are a descendant of my clan, this Emperor shall assist you... Hmm?"
The pure, surging power relentlessly impacted every part of his body—his skin, muscles, tendons, bones, internal organs, and even his qi and blood. Wave after wave of force rippled outward, causing his entire body to tremble violently.
His qi and blood spread like a blazing sun suspended in the sky, and a Qi and Blood Dragon emerged, swallowing the radiant sun whole. Its form expanded from one zhang to three zhang, becoming as solid as reality. Its eyes gleamed like two miniature suns, astonishing in their brilliance.
Faintly, the resonance of a sword seemed to emanate from within Chen Feng’s body, sending ripples through the air.
After roughly three hours, a powerful tremor shook his form, and an overwhelming aura erupted, surging outward in all directions.
Chen Feng opened his eyes, their sharp gleam like swords piercing through the void, as if lightning crackled in the empty room.
Tremors and roars continuously echoed from within his body, spreading outward in layers of ripples.
With every breath, Chen Feng could clearly feel that his strength had grown significantly compared to before.
The Huntian Sword Body—eighth level!
This... was completely unexpected.
Never in his wildest dreams did he imagine that so soon after entering the Heavenly Emperor's Dao Field's Small World, he would obtain such an opportunity to advance the Huntian Sword Body to the eighth level.
After all, in the history of Juejian Peak of the Huntian Sect, the Huntian Sword Body had only ever been cultivated to the seventh level.
It wasn’t for lack of trying—it was simply too difficult.
The further one progressed, the more staggering the resources required.
After all, refining a Mortal Body to rival a God-Grade Divine Trait Physique was akin to defying the heavens. Such a transformation was anything but easy.
Of course, throughout Juejian Peak’s history, few had ever cultivated the Huntian Sword Body.
For a Mortal Body to be accepted into Juejian Peak was already an immense challenge.
And most Divine Trait Bearers were incompatible with the Huntian Sword Body, as it was a body-refining method specifically created for Mortal Bodies.
"Now that I’ve reached the eighth level, how far is the ninth?" Chen Feng mused silently.
"I wonder if, within the Heavenly Emperor's Dao Field's Small World, I can push the Huntian Sword Body to the ninth level?"
Chen Feng had never forgotten the words his master once told him.
The ninth level of the Huntian Sword Body, in terms of strength, could nearly rival top-tier God-Grade Divine Trait Physiques. At that point, his foundation would advance further, his strength would continue to rise, and his potential would become even more astonishing. Moreover, by continuously devouring others' Innate Divine Trait powers, it might even be possible for his physique to match a Supreme-Grade Divine Trait Physique. For a moment, Chen Feng felt the future was full of promise.
"However, the opportunities in the Heavenly Emperor's Dao Field are truly astounding. Just a single pill allowed me to cultivate the eighth level of the Huntian Sword Body, yet the challenge was so simple..." If this were the case for everyone, then wouldn't all those who entered the Heavenly Emperor's Dao Field's Small World have the chance to gain tremendous benefits?
Little did he know, he had essentially cheated—thanks to his family's bloodline. Otherwise, the original reward within this tower, though also a pill, would have been a hundred times inferior to the Star Origin Pill.
Rising to his feet, Chen Feng immediately left the tower to seek more opportunities.
"It seems this descendant of my bloodline carries profound mysteries—even I, the Heavenly Emperor, cannot see through him."
"Very well. Since you possess such capability, there’s no harm in aiding you further..."
