Chapter 910: Please Exert More Force!
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

In the southeastern region of the Boundless Sea, on a rainy night, two figures stood suspended in mid-air.

A vast and imposing aura spread recklessly, suppressing everything in its path. The once lively rainforest, filled with the sounds of birds, beasts, and insects, was now eerily silent.

“It’s been several days with no news from that person. Could they have left this dimension? And Chen Fei—he’s also disappeared without a trace. It’s quite troubling!” Duan Suizhi said in a low voice.

Recently, several Sacred Lands had been activated, and even the sects in the Boundless Sea had been notified without exception.

Despite this, no suspicious individuals had been discovered.

“That day, the person had completely concealed their presence. Even during the battle, their aura was undetectable. If they truly wanted to hide, it would be very difficult to find them.”

Yan Mingan pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice, “That person deliberately sought me out for a fight, which surely has a deeper reason. They wouldn’t simply leave the Boundless Sea so easily. As for Chen Fei, I’ve sent people to search near the edge of the Boundless Sea, in a place called the Thousand Feathers Alliance.”

“Is that person really at the Mountain Sea Realm?”

Setting aside Chen Fei’s matter, Duan Suizhi recalled that individual, questioning the credibility of their Mountain Sea Realm status.

“Yes, at the peak of the Mountain Sea Realm. There are a few innate talents I still cannot identify.”

Remembering how the person always seemed to be at their peak state and even grew stronger with time, Yan Mingan’s eyes narrowed.

“If we still can’t find anything in the next few days, we should let Senior Pan deduce their whereabouts. Even if we can’t pinpoint the exact location, a general direction would be helpful,” Duan Suizhi suggested.

Currently, there were no clues at all, and the person clearly came prepared.

Though the Boundless Sea was not vast, hiding a person and being unable to locate them made the search exceedingly difficult.

Normally, a single person, even one at the Mountain Sea Realm, wouldn’t cause much trouble in the Boundless Sea.

Even if this person was somewhat exceptional with the combat power of an early-stage Sun Moon Realm, they still wouldn’t be able to alter the overall situation of the Boundless Sea.

The spatial passage in Sky Sea City was still open, with at least two Sun Moon Realm experts guarding it at all times.

When needed, Sky Sea City could also provide support from mid-stage Sun Moon Realm experts.

Thus, finding this individual was not a major issue. If they dared to show themselves, they could be swiftly dealt with, given their preparations.

However, it was unsettling to leave this matter unresolved, like a thorn in their side.

“Senior Pan is currently at a critical moment, locking onto the source of this dimension. He has no time for other matters,” Yan Mingan said, shaking his head.

Compared to locking onto the dimension’s source, other matters were not as important.

Duan Suizhi nodded and, after a moment, flew off toward the southwestern region.

Yan Mingan continued his search in the southeastern region.

The two would not be too far apart, at most several thousand miles. In case of any developments, the other could tear through space to arrive quickly.

This would prevent a repeat of the previous situation where Yan Mingan was attacked, and others were slow to respond.

Fifteen minutes later, Yan Mingan arrived at Maple Leaf Pool.

Here was a sect named Maple Leaf Sect, a top-tier power with two peak Mountain Sea Realm experts stationed.

Sensing a powerful force sweeping past outside the mountain gate, the two peak Mountain Sea Realm experts of the Maple Leaf Sect quickly flew into the air and cupped their hands in salute toward Yan Mingan.

Yan Mingan glanced downward but offered no response, continuing to fly forward.

Cultivating to the peak of the Mountain Sea Realm in a lower realm indicated considerable talent.

However, breaking through to the Sun Moon Realm in the Return to Nothing Realm would at most offer a slight boost, mainly from the rare resources available there.

The Return to Nothing Realm only raised the lower limit for practitioners, ensuring that even at adulthood, one could possess the strength of the Aperture Tempering realm.

It only removed constraints, preventing those with exceptional talent from being stuck at a certain level.

However, truly breaking through to the Sun Moon Realm remained extremely difficult. The Sun Moon Realm was always a significant barrier, whether in a lower realm or the Return to Nothing Realm.

Therefore, while many at the peak of the Mountain Sea Realm existed in the Boundless Sea, the people of Sky Sea City were not particularly eager to bring them into Sky Sea City.

Cultivated from a young age, loyalty was a major concern. Many of these Mountain Sea Realm experts had lived for centuries and were quite seasoned.

If danger arose, these individuals might not necessarily follow orders obediently.

Furthermore, the cost of raising their realm to the Sun Moon Realm was often deemed not worth the investment.

The Return to Nothing Realm had a vast number of human cultivators and was not lacking in Mountain Sea Realm practitioners. Cultivating from a young age with high talent and advancing them to the Sun Moon Realm was the best option.

Ren Youfang and his companion saw that Yan Mingan did not respond and did not think much of it.

The Mountain Sea Realm and the Sun Moon Realm were fundamentally different levels of cultivation.

When one could extinguish a sect with a single angry strike, their mindset would naturally be different.

Suddenly, Ren Youfang’s expression changed, and he looked with surprise at the distance.

A figure appeared in mid-air, only a few miles from Yan Mingan, seemingly positioned to block his path deliberately.

Even though it was nearly a hundred miles away, Ren Youfang could still sense a chilling aura sweeping across.

This murderous intent came not only from the sudden appearance of the figure but also from Yan Mingan himself.

Someone was targeting Yan Mingan?

Ren Youfang was shaken and immediately recalled the recent mission from the Sacred Land to search for a peak Mountain Sea Realm practitioner, identified as an outsider. If discovered, it was to be reported immediately.

“Quick, notify the Sacred Land.”

Ren Youfang turned to his junior, urging him urgently.

“Understood!”

The other person did not hesitate and flew back to the sect to use a special spiritual treasure to contact the Sacred Land, while also gathering the disciples into the spiritual treasure.

Ren Youfang returned to the formation. Despite the distance of nearly a hundred miles, the thought of a Sun Moon Realm level battle made him uneasy.

If the battlefield moved to the Maple Leaf Sect, its mountain gate would likely be obliterated.

But at this moment, he could not worry about the mountain gate. Once the disciples were gathered, he planned to leave this dangerous place immediately.

Outside the Maple Leaf Sect, nearly a hundred miles away, Yan Mingan’s expression darkened as he stared ahead.

Yan Mingan had not anticipated that, after several days, the opponent would dare to confront him again.

Had the previous battle given them immense confidence?

“You fool, let’s see how you escape this time!”

Yan Mingan snorted coldly. First, he used a profound treasure to notify Duan Suizhi, who was several thousand miles away, then he moved swiftly towards Chen Fei.

Golden light radiated from Yan Mingan’s body, and a tremendous power flowed within him.

After the last battle, Yan Mingan reviewed the entire fight and drew some lessons.

The main difference between the Sun Moon Realm and the Mountain Sea Realm was the refinement of power. Divine abilities were the most direct manifestation of this refined power.

Against an average Mountain Sea Realm opponent, a Sun Moon Realm practitioner could usually end the battle with a single strike due to the vast difference in power levels.

However, the person before him was not like other Mountain Sea Realm practitioners. Although their attack quality did not match the Sun Moon Realm, the quantity of their attacks was significantly closer.

Combined with their strange innate talent, they were able to contend with Sun Moon Realm practitioners.

Yan Mingan’s solution was quite straightforward: to enhance the refinement of his own power.

By focusing his strength into a single point, he aimed to shatter his opponent’s essence, spirit, and soul directly.

Daring to use him as a whetstone, Yan Mingan was determined to see how his opponent would sharpen their sword this time!

With a punch, Yan Mingan concentrated all his strength into the fist’s edge. As the punch was unleashed, the space around it wrinkled but did not shatter.

This was not because Yan Mingan’s attack had weakened; on the contrary, it was because he intentionally condensed his power. Until the fist actually struck the enemy, the full force would not be unleashed.

Space would shatter if the force was too strong, but now Yan Mingan compressed this power into the fist’s edge.

A hundred miles away, Ren Youfang and his disciples were already fleeing, not daring to delay.

Ren Youfang had initially intended to stay and observe the battle between the Sun Moon Realm practitioners.

Having been stuck at the peak of the Mountain Sea Realm for decades, he had tried to break through many times, but every attempt was thwarted by premonitions of his talent.

He was unwilling to give up but also feared taking a gamble, so he had endured until now.

Seeing a Sun Moon Realm battle might provide him with insights to aid his own breakthrough.

Ren Youfang glanced back. At over a hundred miles away, even with secret techniques aiding him, he could only see blurred shadows.

As Yan Mingan launched his punch, everything seemed mundane, but when Ren Youfang saw the fist’s edge, it felt as if the world was breaking apart.

How could one defend against such a punch? Even avoiding it seemed impossible!

Ren Youfang was momentarily stunned, instinctively turning his gaze to the other figure, as if seeking an answer on how to counter it.

Then he saw that the figure extended its right hand to block Yan Mingan’s punch.

“Boom!”

The space within hundreds of miles seemed to tremble, jolting Ren Youfang from his daze.

Shaken, Ren Youfang dared not look back again. With utmost speed, he fled the area, quickly disappearing from sight.

Over a hundred miles away, the area where Yan Mingan and the figure stood had turned into a massive black hole, with the two appearing as stars firmly anchored within it.

Yan Mingan’s gaze was fixed on Chen Fei, but his mind was filled with confusion.

He had concentrated all the power of his invincible golden body into his punch, yet Chen Fei effortlessly blocked it with a single palm.

While Yan Mingan understood how he had gone from an even match to gradually falling behind in their previous fight, he could not comprehend today’s situation.

“Wait, you’ve broken through to the Sun Moon Realm!”

Chen Fei had not revealed any aura, and only a few days had passed, so Yan Mingan had not realized it immediately.

Now, thinking back, the only explanation for such a situation was that Chen Fei had indeed broken through to the Sun Moon Realm, dramatically increasing his strength and elevating his combat power.

“Yes, indeed! So, please, exert a bit more force!”

Chen Fei smiled lightly, his right hand gripping Yan Mingan’s fist. Terrifying power was instantly exerted on Yan Mingan.
