Chapter 2312: Lethality

When he woke up again, he saw bright sunshine and soft grass.

"Fellow Daoist, you finally woke up!"

Han Zichen's voice came from beside his ear.

"Zichen... how long have I slept?" Xiao Feng felt a bit dazed; although he had been asleep, he still felt exhausted.

"It's been almost a month; no matter how we called, we couldn't wake you, and we didn't dare touch you for fear of disturbing your meditation. Fellow Daoist, how are you? What happened?" Han Zichen said, his tone full of concern.

"Only a month..."

Xiao Feng chuckled, his mind relaxed, he casually grabbed the person beside him and said wearily, "I'm still tired; let me sleep a bit longer, let me lean on you."

... then he pulled Xue Ningzhen down beside him, leaned against her thigh, and fell into a loud sleep.

"Huh?"

The three women beside him were somewhat surprised, not expecting that after sleeping a month he would still be so tired.

"What exactly happened?"

"It seems nothing happened; why are you suddenly so exhausted?"

"Perhaps... it's in the game."

The three exchanged glances.

Han Zichen closed his eyes where he stood and entered the game world to inquire.

Xue Ningzhen remained still, serving as Xiao Feng's pillow.

After a while, Han Zichen logged off.

"How is it?" Yu Cixue asked.

Han Zichen replied, "They said they went to challenge the Heavenly Tower; everything was normal for the past few months, but recently when they attempted floors 6501-7000, it suddenly became like this. I asked Li Jinglan, and he said this stage is the Tribulation of Time, requiring at least five hundred thousand years of temporal cleansing, so it makes one very tired."

Upon hearing the name Li Jinglan, Xue Ningzhen felt a slight physiological disgust.

However, this explanation, on the contrary, let them be able to reason

understand.

"Then let Fellow Daoist get a good sleep. Five hundred thousand years... really hard to imagine."

"Mm."

The three women didn't think too much, assuming it was really just a few hundred thousand years.

Others who passed the 7000th floor afterwards just slept for a few days and were fine.

But Xiao Feng's sleep lasted a full three months.

Later, Han Zichen and the three others panicked, fearing Xiao Feng would never wake up and become a living corpse.

Fortunately, as he slept longer, Xiao Feng's Divine Sense fluctuations gradually intensified, slowly restoring his health, which dispelled their worries.

One day after three months, Xiao Feng opened his eyes.

He was still lying on the outdoor grass, but his head was now resting on Yu Cixue's leg.

"How long did I sleep this time?" he yawned and stretched.

Yu Cixue replied, "93 days."

"Oh, still quite long..."

Xiao Feng rose from the ground, looked at the three fellow Daoists beside him, and smiled knowingly: "You're taking turns being my pillow, right? How thoughtful."

"It's not because you taught us well."

Han Zichen chuckled, his worry gone, replaced by joy.

"Tsk, does that mean it's my fault?" Xiao Feng didn't think his behavior was problematic at all.

As a strong one, one should let oneself live more freely!

Teaching others daily conduct norms helps everyone's strength improve!

"Fellow Daoist, why did you fall into such a deep sleep for so long? Others who passed the 7000th floor didn't suffer like you..."

Xue Ningzhen asked, puzzled.

Xiao Feng countered, "Did they also stay in the little dark room of the Tribulation of Time for 144 million years?"

"One..."

"What? One hundred million!"

"How many years?"

The three women, upon hearing,

were completely dazed.

"Over a hundred million years!"

"What kind of concept is this!"

"Not even the growth era of the main universe's human race is that long!"

"These are time units used in geological ages!"

"How could it be that long?" Han Zichen frowned deeply, touched Xiao Feng's forehead, still thinking he might have a fever.

Xiao Feng seized the opportunity to grab her hand, pull her into his embrace, and said with a smile, "There's no way around it; my trait is to last long, very long, especially long."

"Pah, you still have the mood to joke; do you know we're worried sick about you?" Han Zichen said displeased.

"I know, I know; I'm fine, and I even took this opportunity to develop a new method!"

Xiao Feng smiled, raised a hand, intending to release the Secret Art of "a drop of water."

However, before he even started, he himself dismissed the idea.

If this "drop of water" isn't controlled well, everything around would likely be destroyed, and the four of them would vanish together between heaven and earth, leaving not even scraps...

"What new method?" the three were all curious.

Xiao Feng felt embarrassed for a moment, then replied: "That… it's not convenient to use right now."

What…?

The three again simultaneously showed helpless expressions.

Xiao Feng gave a hehe laugh and said: "Let's not talk about the new secret technique for now; over these long years, I've used my idle spare consciousness to research some new poses—let's give them a try!"

He then seized the moment to tackle the female sword immortal, and amidst three startled cries, he got busy right there in broad daylight.

Afterwards, his spiritual will also summoned the Myriad Heavens World, and he entered the game.

【Welcome back to the Myriad Heavens World!】

The place to log into the game is in the outer space of the Myriad Heavens Tower.

Xiao Feng had just gone online when an interface popped up.

, prompting him to name his newly created skill.

And it also displayed as: 9th-rank Secret Art!

"Wow, it really is a 9th-rank Secret Art?" Xiao Feng exclaimed, inwardly overjoyed.

He glanced at the skill's description.

【Unnamed Secret Art】: 9th-rank Secret Art, using extremely compressed power to deliver a destructive strike against all things, capable of causing permanent damage to the environment.

In the game, descriptions of high-level skills are very simple, lacking concrete numerical values.

Xiao Feng tried to condense a drop of water.

To his astonishment, he discovered that this single drop of water consumed nearly one-tenth of his divine essence power!

You must know he is currently a Venerable Realm cultivator, and his divine essence power has already surpassed the zi level.

The consumption of this drop of water is comparable to hundreds of thousands of heart-sword strikes, and without activating the Myriad Gods and Demons Battle Body, he couldn't use it many times!

The water drop vanished as soon as it formed.

The Myriad Heavens Tower space automatically protected itself, dispersing his skill to prevent environmental damage.

Xiao Feng wanted to test the effect, so he entered the challenge space and applied to use an enormous expanse of land as the test scene.

Then he condensed a drop of water and flung it toward the ground.

This "fling" motion also consumed a large portion of his divine power.

The water drop left his hand—first second slow, second second speed increased, third second it became so fast the eye couldn't follow, and it sank straight into the ground.

Immediately after…

Boom~

A deep, muffled hum rose from deep within the earth.

Under Xiao Feng's astonished gaze, the entire surface seemed to be twisted by some force, turning and converging toward the center.

Matter vanished, and soon everything was gone!

In just a breath, a pit appeared on the ground with a diameter exceeding 30,000

kilometers' super huge pit!

30,000 kilometers!!!

"My heavens…"

Xiao Feng was dumbfounded.

This isn't a weather‑magic‑enhanced chaotic era ice river, but pure physical damage!

In a single breath, all matter within a 30,000‑kilometer radius was sucked in by the drop of water and vanished without a trace.

Immediately after, that drop of water exploded with a bang; its unstable form triggered an energy blast that once again devastated all matter within tens of thousands of kilometers.

Although it didn't harm him, Xiao Feng clearly felt that this strike could instantly kill an expert of the Di Jiang level!

Moreover, the strongest aspect might not be the process of swallowing, compressing, and exploding.

But rather… the penetrating damage inflicted as the water drop moves through the earth!

That is a force capable of penetrating any substance and destroying its structure—even a 9th‑rank Supreme Treasure could be pierced through in an instant!
