Chapter 2233

You have been acknowledged by the Samsara Holy Artifact; your origin divine nature is shielded by Samsara's power, resulting in a remarkable transformation.

Translation: "You have received recognition of the Samsara Holy Artifact; your Origin Divine Form is protected by the Power of Samsara, and a wondrous change has occurred!"

Check: Need to keep punctuation? We'll keep similar.

A system notification appears.

Translation: "The system popped up a prompt."

Xiao Feng opens his attribute panel and notices an extra notation added after the divinity attribute field.

Translation: "Xiao Feng opened his attribute panel and saw that an additional notation had appeared after the divinity attribute column."

【Samsara Power】: Samsara of the heavens; blessings and calamities follow one's will.

Translation: "【Power of Samsara】: Heavenly Dao Samsara, Fortune and Misfortune Follow Heart."

The description reads: You have mastered Samsara Power, letting you control fortune and misfortune. When you suffer damage (misfortune), you can turn it into healing (blessing) while accruing 'karma'; when you attack, you can draw infinite power from the heavenly way (blessing), likewise accruing karma. These abilities are boundless—feel free to explore.

Translation: "The description below: You have mastered the Power of Samsara, you can control fortune and misfortune. When you take damage (misfortune), you can convert it into healing (fortune), while accumulating 'Karmic Force'; when you attack, you can borrow infinite power from the Heavenly Dao (fortune), likewise accumulating Karmic Force. Such abilities are endless; explore them yourself."

Below that is the explanation of Karma: cause and effect intertwine, the heavenly way maintains balance. Whatever you gain must be offset by a loss; if there is nothing to lose, it becomes karma, bringing calamity. Karma on you must be cleared in time; letting it build up too much will invite disaster.

Translation: "Below also is the description of Karmic Force: cause and effect cycle, Heavenly Dao balances. For every gain there is a loss; if nothing can be lost, it turns into Karmic Force, and you will suffer misfortune retribution. The Karmic Force on your body needs to be cleared promptly; excessive accumulation will bring disaster."

Xiao Feng read it and found it rather intriguing.

Translation: "Xiao Feng looked at it and felt it was quite interesting."

"Normally, taking an attack would cause you to lose HP—injury is the cause, losing HP the effect. But with Samsara Power, you can avoid losing HP, instead taking on debt to the future and accruing karma."

Translation: "\"When attacked, one should normally lose HP; injury is the cause, losing HP is the effect. But with the Power of Samsara, you can also avoid losing HP, by taking a loan from the future, accruing Karmic Force. \""

To gain something you must lose something; if you wish to avoid losing HP when hurt now, you'll have to lose HP later—and possibly even more.

Translation: "For every gain there is a loss; if you want to avoid losing HP now when injured, you will have to lose HP later, perhaps even more."

Since karma must be paid back—not only repaid, but it also accumulates interest!

Translation: "Because this Karmic Force must be repaid, not only must it be repaid, but it also accrues interest!"

Put simply, controlling Samsara Power is akin to securing a loan from the heavenly way with limitless credit—you can borrow any amount, provided you can repay it.

Translation: "In other words, mastering the Power of Samsara is actually opening a credit line to borrow from the Heavenly Dao, with unlimited credit; you can borrow as much as you want, as long as you can repay it."

What happens if you can't repay? Xiao Feng isn't certain yet, but he hopes to someday test borrowing a large amount.

Translation: "As for what happens if you cannot repay, Xiao Feng himself is not clear now; he will have a chance in the future to try borrowing a large sum!"

Such an effect is completely different from the healing effect shown by the Samsara Source; it is far stronger, the effect can be

Translation: "Such an effect is completely different from the healing effect shown by the Samsara Source; it is much stronger, the effect can be"

be described as aberrant.

Translation: "described as aberrant."

(Combined line 13-14: "Such an effect is completely different from the healing effect shown by the Samsara Source; it is much stronger, the effect can be described as aberrant.") But we must keep each line separate as given. So line 13 ends with "效果堪" and line 14 is "稱變態。" We'll translate each as is.

Such an effect is completely different from the healing effect shown by the Samsara Source; it is far stronger, the effect can be

Translation: "Such an effect, compared to the healing effect shown by the Samsara Source, is utterly different, much stronger, the effect can"

be described as aberrant.

Translation: "be described as aberrant."

But we need to keep meaning; splitting may cause awkwardness but we must follow instruction: keep each translation on a single line, no extra lines. So we output each line's translation separately.

"Just being able to borrow limitless power from heaven already gives me a chance to stand against Kunpeng. The Chaotic Holy Artifact truly has an extraordinarily high limit." Xiao Feng mused.

Translation: "\"Borrowing infinite power from Heaven... just this point gives me the possibility to contend with Kun-Peng. The Chaos Holy Artifact truly has an extremely high ceiling. \" Xiao Feng thought to himself."

This Chaotic Holy Artifact is no longer merely an item; it has become a Dao.

Translation: "This Chaos Holy Artifact is actually no longer an 'artifact', but a 'Dao'."

Before Xiao Feng had any grasp of the law of karma and samsara, he was outright given Samsara Power—like being handed a backdoor—its transcendent nature far surpasses that of any other treasure.

Translation: "When Xiao Feng had yet to gain any insight into the law of karmic samsara, directly granting him the Power of Samsara is like giving him a backdoor; its transcendent nature is far beyond comparison with other treasures."

Though it seems to offer no tangible boost, its clever applications vastly outstrip those of the Primordial Holy Artifacts.

Translation: "Although it appears to have no substantial enhancement, its marvelous use far surpasses the Primordial Holy Artifact."

"Shame it wasn't announced—I missed an opportunity to flex."

Translation: "\"Too bad it wasn't announced; missed a chance to show off. \""

Xiao Feng smiled faintly, disappeared where he stood, and returned to the Chaotic Secret Realm.

Translation: "Xiao Feng smiled faintly, vanished on the spot, and returned to the Chaos Secret Realm."

Acquiring the Chaotic Holy Artifact doesn't significantly affect his life or cultivation.

Translation: "Obtaining the Chaos Holy Artifact has no major impact on his life and cultivation."

Since he hardly ever fights now, there's no opportunity to try out this treasure.

Translation: "After all, he basically doesn't fight anymore, so there's no opportunity to test this treasure."

Going forward, besides his daily routine of boosting his cultivation and nurturing the fetus, Xiao Feng devotes himself to uncovering the secrets of Samsara Power.

Translation: "In the days ahead, aside from Xiao Feng's daily fixed routine of raising his cultivation and nourishing the fetus, he simply explored the mysteries of the Power of Samsara."

This power is amazing; it does more than just inflict damage or heal—it can be employed in everyday life as well.

Translation: "This power is miraculous; its use is not limited to harm and healing, it can also be employed in daily life."

For instance, speeding up the growth of a little grass is like granting blessings to an outside entity, but the user must accept some karma, sacrificing a bit of vitality.

Translation: "For example, accelerating the growth of a small grass is equivalent to bestowing fortune upon an external object, while the bearer must endure some Karmic Force, losing some HP."

Alternatively, raising an item's grade also inflicts harm on the user, permanently reducing some of their stats.

Translation: "Or raising the grade of a piece of equipment likewise causes the bearer to suffer damage, permanently losing some attribute points."

He can draw on many kinds of power, and his primary means of repaying karma are by taking damage and losing HP, losing mana, having attributes reduced, and losing cultivation.

Translation: "The types of power he can summon are many, while his ways of repaying Karmic Force mainly consist of losing HP from injury, losing mana, deducting attributes, and deducting cultivation."

If an NPC were to use it, there would also be a penalty of losing lifespan; however, since players have no lifespan concept, this mechanic would be pointless.

Translation: "Originally, if an NPC used it, there would also appear the Karmic Result of 'deducting lifespan'. But players have no lifespan concept, so this setting would be meaningless"

meaningless.

meaningless.

Day by day, the little tree spirit's fusion progressed, and the child in Xunshu's womb grew bigger; before long it looked like a ten‑month pregnancy.

Translation: "As time passed day by day, the Small Tree Spirit's fusion progress increased, and Xun Shuang's baby in her belly grew larger; soon it took on the appearance of a ten-month pregnancy."

But there is still a long way to go before the baby is born.

Translation: "But until birth, there is still a considerable period of time."

The child's voracious appetite also eventually hit a ceiling, expanding to devouring two jing of qi each day before leveling off, which let Xiao Feng let out a big sigh of relief.

Translation: "The child's 'gluttony' level also gradually reached a limit; its 'appetite' swelled to consuming 2 jing of Qi Luck per day, after which it stopped growing, letting Xiao Feng breathe a great sigh of relief."

At two jing of qi per day, a thousand days amounts to two thousand jing—about the same as four full‑power blasts of the Heaven‑Shaking Arrow—which he can still handle.

Translation: "Each day 2 jing of Qi Luck; over 1000 days that's 2000 jing, equivalent to four full-power bursts of the Heaven-Shaking Arrow, which he can still bear."

Nevertheless, this level of consumption terrified Xunshu.

Translation: "However, this consumption fiercely frightened Xun Shuang."

Xunshu lamented inwardly, the baby's appetite is huge; thankfully she has Xiao Feng as her overbearing dad, otherwise, given her speed of looting outsiders' qi, she might never collect enough over millennia to feed the child.

Translation: "Xun Shuang secretly groaned in her heart; this gluttonous baby's appetite is truly enormous, but fortunately Xiao Feng, this overbearing father, is present; otherwise, relying on her speed of plundering external clans' Qi Luck, she might never obtain enough Qi Luck over thousands or tens of thousands of years to nourish the child."

Trying to sustain the pregnancy on her own is out of the question; even her Golden Immortal form and innate Dao body have limits. Compared to the chaotic spirit energy and massive qi Xiao Feng supplies, her own contribution is negligible.

Translation: "As for relying on herself to conceive, that is even more impossible; her Golden Immortal body and Innate Dao Body, no matter how strong, have limits; compared to the Chaos Spiritual Qi and vast Qi Luck provided by Xiao Feng, what she herself contributes to the child is actually little."

Before he knew it, three months had passed since Xiao Feng killed Dijiang.

Translation: "In the blink of an eye, Xiao Feng has slain Emperor Jiang for three months already."

Lately, Xiao Feng has started to delve into the secrets of Dijiang's battle body.

Translation: "Recently, Xiao Feng also began to comprehend the mysteries of Emperor Jiang's Battle Body."

Dijiang's command of space comes from later training, while his innate essence is 'fusion'.

Translation: "Emperor Jiang's mastery of Spatial Law is the result of postnatal cultivation; his innate power is 'Fusion'."

Merging the four Primordial Holy Artifacts is Dijiang's ultimate exploitation of his gift—an ability that's exceptional, with a very high ceiling and a solid floor.

Translation: "Fusing the four Primordial Holy Artifacts is Emperor Jiang's ultimate development of his innate talent; this ability is special, with an extremely high ceiling and not a low floor."

Xiao Feng used to wonder why killing the Star Lord awarded the Great Star Technique cultivation method, while slaying Dijiang didn't grant the Great Space Technique.

Translation: "Xiao Feng previously wondered why killing the Lord of Stars granted the cultivation method of the Great Star Art, while killing Emperor Jiang did not grant the Great Space Art."

He studied

Translation: "Studied"

Only after looking into Dijiang's battle body did he understand that spatial laws aren't what Dijiang would drop; it's the fusion law that matters.

Translation: "Only after studying Emperor Jiang's Battle Body did he realize that Spatial Law is not what Emperor Jiang should drop; it is the Fusion Law."

He has two guesses as to why it didn't drop.

Translation: "The reason for no drop, he has two conjectures."

One possibility—that the fusion technique is Dijiang's alone, unsuitable for others to learn.

Translation: "One is— the Fusion Law is exclusive to Emperor Jiang; other beings are unsuitable to learn it."

Another—that the Dao Ancestor stepped in, confiscating what ought to have fallen, to keep Dijiang distinctive.

Translation: "Another is— the Dao Ancestor intervened, taking away what should have dropped, preserving Emperor Jiang's uniqueness."

After thinking it over, the latter scenario seems more probable.

Translation: "Upon careful thought, the latter seems more likely."

Given Dijiang's last words, he might not actually be dead—he could already have been revived in the real world.

Translation: "After all, judging by what Emperor Jiang said on his deathbed, this guy might not be dead; perhaps he has already revived in the real world."

As his master, the Lord of the Heavens will certainly protect his disciple, obscuring Xiao Feng's view of Dijiang's innate arts so that Xiao Feng won't become overly familiar and easily defeat him in a rematch.

Translation: "As the master, Cang Qiong Zhu will surely look after his disciple; he will shield Xiao Feng, this enemy, from understanding Emperor Jiang's Natal Law Gate, lest in the next battle Xiao Feng fully understands Emperor Jiang and easily overpowers him."

While investigating Dijiang's battle body, Xiao Feng also hadn't forgotten the Creation Vessel. Using the known and unknown transfers of the Spatial Wings, he returned the Creation Vessel to the Qilin tribe's ancestral realm, the Ouxuan Realm.

Translation: "While researching Emperor Jiang's Battle Body, Xiao Feng also did not forget the Cauldron of Creation. Through the known and unknown transmissions of the Wings of Space, he sent the Cauldron of Creation back to the Ancestral Realm of the Wondrous Spirit Clan, the Mysterious Profound Realm."

The Ouxuan Realm is huge but thinly inhabited, giving it an empty feel.

Translation: "The Mysterious Profound Realm is vast in scope, but sparsely populated, appearing quite empty."

The Qilin tribe exhibits many life forms, all of which are fatherless and motherless, born and nurtured by heaven and earth—innate beings.

Translation: "The Wondrous Spirit Clan's life forms are diverse; they are all fatherless, motherless, heaven-born and earth-raised innate spirits."

The most common type is elemental life—fire, water, rock, and so on. There are also stronger innate gods and demons, like a level‑2600 venerable known as the Lord of the Heavenly Tribulation, whose true form is a mass of tribulation clouds that can regulate others' tribulation intensity, though he seldom does.

Translation: "The most common type is elemental life, such as fire element, water element, rock element, etc. There are also more powerful primordial divine demons, for example a level 2600 Venerable known as the Lord of Heavenly Tribulation, whose entity is a mass of Tribulation Cloud, capable of controlling others' tribulation intensity, though he rarely does so."

Xiao Feng presented the Creation Vessel to the Lord of the Heavenly Tribulation, who, in thanks, gifted him a venerable holy artifact weapon—no strings attached, ready to wear.

Translation: "Xiao Feng gave the Cauldron of Creation to that Lord of Heavenly Tribulation; the Lord of Heavenly Tribulation, to express gratitude, sent him a Venerable Holy Artifact weapon as repayment, requiring no conditions, wearable directly."

This

Translation: "This"

The weapon is called the 'Breaker‑Tribulation Holy Halberd'; Xiao Feng has no need for it, so he handed it to Zhang Fan, swapping out Zhang Fan's merely Perfect Divine King‑grade Heaven‑Earth Destruction Halberd.

Translation: "\"The weapon is named the Halberd of Tribulation-Breaking\"; Xiao Feng has no use for it, so he conveniently gave it to Zhang Fan, replacing the merely Perfect Divine King quality Heaven-Earth Destruction Halberd."

Thanks to the new weapon, Zhang Fan's output shot up; the buildup from his endless slaughter tribulations already gave him solid strength, and now he's poised to become a top‑tier damage dealer on the server.

Translation: "With the new weapon's boost, Zhang Fan's output surged straight up; the original 'Endless Killing Tribulation' daily accumulation already gave him decent strength, and now he shows promise of joining the top-tier output of the entire server."

In this age of chaotic hegemony, adding another top‑tier combatant is quite meaningful.

Translation: "In this age of hegemony melee, having one more top expert is quite meaningful."

The Blue Star Sector 8 is becoming ever more powerful; even without Xiao Feng joining the fight, it can sweep all opposition.

Translation: "The Blue Star 8th War Zone is growing ever stronger; even without Xiao Feng's participation, it can sweep all."

Now everyone is eagerly anticipating the great decisive battle ten years from now.
