Chapter 1698: Only the Innate Dao Body

Xiao Feng left Ruby Jade Mountain and immediately went offline to change his residence.

The new residence was similar to the previous one, both sea-view villas with garden pools, basically the same.

Jiang Ning, Su Ni, and the others had already moved their belongings over; only he remained to be moved.

After arriving at the new residence, he didn't even have time to eat; in order not to lose that flash of inspiration, he quickly lay down on the bed, silently chanting "All Heavens", and entered the game world.

Within the great secret realm of Magic Source Mountain, Xiao Feng came to the vicinity of the ultra-large wreckage near the 300-kilometer-deep pit he had bombed, and let He Xianzi out for a stroll.

He Xianzi had just come out when she softly said, "Big brother, you're being outrageous; I had just arrived with Qinglian Xianzi, preparing to kiss, when you suddenly went offline..."

Xiao Feng felt both angry and amused, asking, "How did you convince her to mess around with you? Qinglian Xianzi isn't exactly a proper demon, is she?"

"Exactly, exactly, the more proper the fairy, the greater the sense of accomplishment in defiling her!" He Xianzi wore an excited expression.

Xiao Feng gazed at her peerless beauty, which was not inferior to that of Xuan Die Senior and Xiao Mi, and upon hearing her outrageous words, he almost couldn't resist drawing his Scarlet Demon Sword to slay her.

After thinking, he reasoned that she was only provoking a spirit beast, which shouldn't be a big problem, so he said, "Go play by yourself; I won't go offline again for a while. I don't care how you play with Qinglian Xianzi, but you must absolutely not have any designs on the Feng Feng Shi, or else I'll suffer misfortune along with you."

"I understand, I understand, we're still being discreet!" He Xianzi put on a well-behaved expression, pretending to be just that.

She turned and flew away, and the surroundings fell silent.

Xiao Feng sat silently in midair, with a Dao Mark Scar appearing on each hand, while a Little Sword condensed before him.

"For spirit beast bloodline resonance and fusion, the requirement is two bloodlines both of 8th-rank; otherwise it's meaningless."

"To bear a Dao Mark Scar and fuse it into a Secret Art, it seems one also needs an existence equivalent to an 8th-rank talent."

This was something he had thought of before.

Only while assisting the fusion of two 8th-rank spirit beast bloodlines did he suddenly realize all this.

Although this idea might not be accurate, it is at least a new direction to try.

If successful, that would be best; even if it fails, it won't waste much time.

"Illusory-Real Mutual Generation and One Qi Transforms into Three Purities are the weaker kinds among 8th-rank talents; they can neither mainly attack nor mainly defend, and when faced with the strongest Dao Mark Scar among 8th-rank, they likely cannot withstand it and cannot maintain balance."

A thought arose in his mind.

But he still needed to try it to know.

He flipped his left hand, the Dao Mark Scar vanished, replaced by an 8th-rank Dao Pattern symbolizing One Qi Transforms into Three Purities.

He brought his hands together; the left and right Dao Patterns approached the Little Sword. The power of all things surged, the yin-yang principles circulated, and the three began to merge.

The Dao Pattern slowly merged into the Little Sword, appearing to proceed smoothly.

However, once the two Dao Patterns had fully merged, a violent energy surge immediately began to undulate.

"Not good!"

Xiao Feng's heart jolted, and he hastily flickered, teleporting back over a hundred kilometers.

Boom—

A tremendous boom.

The position he had just occupied erupted in a violent blast, devouring the surrounding hundred kilometers, while the shockwave pushed outward another two or three hundred kilometers before gradually dissipating.

Xiao Feng glanced at his HP; he was almost dead. This blast's power nearly matched the simultaneous detonation of two Dao Mark Scars, and even its aftershock could instantly kill an ordinary Godking.

"Let's try a few more times."

A single failure couldn't immediately prove the method unworkable; he had enough mana and time to try slowly.

He clenched his hands, and the two Dao Patterns formed again.

The Little Sword also appeared before him.

A few seconds later...

Boom!

The explosion occurred once again, and indeed it failed again.

Xiao Feng tried nine times, each ending in failure, so he reluctantly gave up and switched to another 8th-rank talent's Dao Pattern, Illusory-Real Mutual Generation.

The result... remained the same; explosions continued, further widening and deepening the pit on the ground.

"These two 8th-rank talents don't work, and I have no other 8th-rank talent Dao Patterns, so I can only..."

Xiao Feng looked down at the pit on the ground, a faint smile on his face.

Despite multiple failures, not only did they not make him feel bad, they actually made his idea become clearer.

In this game, perhaps only she could rival a Divine Might Dao Pattern.

—Innate Dao Body!

Hum—

Xiao Feng's body trembled, and his entire figure suddenly expanded a hundredfold, turning into a giant.

Every cell in his body swelled to many times its original size, and the Innate Dao Body patterns inscribed on each cell emerged one by one, visible only to him.

A powerful pressure rose, as the unique Dao rhythm of the Innate Dao Body emanated, noble and holy, flawless.

"The strength of a single rune of the Innate Dao Body is not high, so it cannot be inscribed with a Dao Mark Scar on every cell..."

Xiao Feng remained thoughtful, not impulsive.

"Inscribing a Dao Mark Scar consumes willpower and a small portion of divine essence. With the human body's countless cells, if each cell were engraved with a Dao Mark Scar, not to mention whether the Innate Dao Body could endure it, his total divine power could never accomplish such a lavish operation."

Therefore, he could only attempt it proportionally.

He divided the Innate Dao Body into 100 parts, gradually matching from 1 to 100 with the Dao Mark Scar until stability could be achieved.

For the first attempt, he directly used the maximum specification of "100", namely his entire body.

In his giant form, Xiao Feng drew out 100,000 points of divine power and condensed them into a Dao Mark Scar.

He then slowly pressed that pattern toward his chest.

The power of all things circulated, the yin-yang principles drove it, seeking to make his flesh and the pattern as compatible as possible.

Sizzle—

When the Dao Pattern merged into the body under the influence of the power of all things and the Yin-Yang principles, and fused with the cells on the body that each bore the markings of the Innate Dao Body, a strange scene occurred!

His body seemed to be roasted over a fire, hissing as water vapor rose!

Xiao Feng felt his Li Ti under immense pressure; the originally dormant Innate Dao Body runes lit up one after another, linking every cell in his body and weaving into a huge rune net to oppose the Dao Mark Scar.

Yes, they are opposing, not merging!

"Stay calm, stay calm!"

Xiao Feng tried to quell his two peak powers.

One is the strongest physique, the other is the strongest Innate Talent Dao Pattern; the result of their collision will surely trigger a greater explosion, possibly even destroying Ruby Jade Mountain a thousand li away!

But the Dao Pattern itself has no consciousness; it will not become gentle because he is obstructing it.

The two forces were like two saws grinding against each other, sparks flying everywhere, and a piercing sound echoed.

To outsiders, Xiao Feng now appeared mighty and imposing, his whole body exuding a domineering aura and holy golden light.

But he himself knew that if not handled well, his life would surely be forfeit, and he might even kill many others.
