Chapter 1188: Chapter 1188: The Terrifying Realm

Under the gaze of the entire crowd, Feng Wuchen arrived before the soul stone monument. The venue was incredibly quiet, with everyone’s eyes fixed intently on Feng Wuchen and the monument.

The reason why everyone was so focused was due to Wind Shadow’s recent illustrious reputation, his string of feats causing shock and awe wherever he went.

Feng Wuchen slowly placed his palm on the soul stone monument.

The monument showed no reaction, leaving everyone stunned.

“No reaction? What’s going on? Could he be lacking soul power?”

“Could Wind Shadow be joking with us? The soul stone monument isn’t responding at all.”

Seeing the monument remain unresponsive, the crowd erupted into chaos, treating Feng Wuchen as if he was nothing more than a joke.

“Could his soul power be so intense?” Su Xuan frowned slightly.

“Remarkable indeed! The monument cannot instantly measure his soul power! This has never happened before,” Bai Hun remarked with a deep furrow on his brow, his heart filled with shock.

But just as the crowd was in a frenzy, the deacon elder’s startled voice rang out: “This… How is this possible? The soul stone monument cannot immediately measure his soul power—it’s unprecedented in the history of the refinement conference!”

Upon hearing the deacon elder’s exclamation, all the notable figures present were utterly astounded.

For it to never have occurred before—this could only mean it was a miracle.

“From the deacon elder’s words, does it mean Wind Shadow’s soul power is overwhelmingly powerful?”

“It seems like that’s the case, overwhelmingly powerful to the point where the monument couldn’t instantly measure it.”

“Is Wind Shadow’s soul power really that strong?”

The crowd began buzzing with excitement again.

“Buzz—buzz!”

About a minute later, the soul stone monument suddenly trembled, emitting dazzling, blinding blue light that engulfed the entire plaza.

Noticing the monument’s abnormality, everyone held their breath, their hearts pounding with anticipation, their eyes glued to the monument, all eager to discover Feng Wuchen’s realm.

Soon, large characters appeared on the soul stone monument—Heavenly Grade Artifact Refiner!

“Heavenly Grade Artifact Refiner!” Qiao Sanfeng’s expression changed drastically as shock gripped his heart. “Master has already broken through to the Heavenly Grade Artifact Refiner level!”

“Heavenly Grade! An artifact refining genius! A refining genius!”

“Wind Shadow is actually a Heavenly Grade Artifact Refiner! How is this possible? His cultivation speed is terrifying enough; surely all his time must have been spent on cultivation. How could he also be a Heavenly Grade Artifact Refiner?”

“The soul stone monument must be wrong! How could he be a Heavenly Grade Artifact Refiner?”

As the crowd saw the characters on the monument, the entire venue exploded once more, with everyone deeply shaken.

“As expected, not simple at all—to have reached the Heavenly Grade. His talent is indeed extraordinary,” Yun Wuying said with a smile.

“It’s not that simple,” Su Xuan’s voice followed.

“Not that simple?” Yun Wuying looked at Su Xuan with bafflement and asked, “What do you mean, Senior Su?”

Su Xuan’s expression turned grave as he replied, “Several months ago, I encountered Feng Wuchen in Spirit Capital. His soul power was able to contend with mine. Although I only used the soul power of the Innate Grade Realm at the time, he was merely at the Immortal Grade level back then. What do you think it means?”

“What? His soul power could contend with Senior Su’s?” Yun Wuying’s face changed dramatically.

“That strong? To be at the Immortal Grade stage, yet have soul power comparable to Innate Grade? It’s unheard of,” Bai Hun said, furrowing his brow deeply.

“The anomaly with the monument is unprecedented, which is evidence enough that Feng Wuchen’s soul power is extraordinary,” said the Grand Elder Yang Qianxiao, his expression heavy. The high-ranking officials present all had similarly solemn looks.

While the entire crowd was already in deep shock, the soul stone monument underwent further changes.

The original characters indicating “Heavenly Grade Artifact Refiner” transformed into “Innate Grade Artifact Refiner”!

“The soul stone monument truly is remarkable—it’s capable of reflecting the full strength of my soul power. Currently it’s at the Innate Grade realm; let’s see what happens when I push to my limits,” Feng Wuchen thought to himself.

Feng Wuchen clearly hadn’t fully unleashed his soul power, which, even so, was already terrifyingly potent.

“Look! It’s changed! It changed to Innate Grade Artifact Refiner!”

“How is that possible? He’s an Innate Grade Artifact Refiner!”

“Are my eyes deceiving me? The soul stone monument actually adjusted to reflect the Innate Grade realm—this means he’s on par with the Refinement Association’s Young Master!”

Witnessing the change to the monument, the crowd erupted once more, utterly shaken and at a loss for words.

“He… He’s actually an Innate Grade Artifact Refiner…” Down below, Chi Yue trembled in shock.

“How is this even possible…” Chi Qingshan and the others stared in disbelief.

“His soul power truly aligns with the Innate Grade realm!” Even Yun Wuying, the association’s Young Master, couldn’t help but exclaim in astonishment.

“Unbelievable!” Bai Hun stood frozen, his imagination clearly failing to catch up.

“A phenomenon the likes of which have never been seen before,” muttered Yang Qianxiao and the others, all equally stunned.

Everyone present was utterly shocked, never having witnessed such an unprecedented situation.

And yet, as the crowd was processing Feng Wuchen’s breakthrough to the Innate Grade, the soul stone monument underwent another transformation.

“It’s changing again! The monument is changing again!” someone shouted in surprise.

“Could it go even higher?” Everyone’s eyes widened to the extreme.

“Could it possibly be Celestial Immortal Grade?” Bai Hun and others stood up abruptly, their eyes locked on the soul stone monument.

The monument emitted dazzling blue light once again, and an even mightier, domineering soul power burst forth.

A new set of characters appeared on the stone—Celestial Immortal Grade Artifact Refiner!

“Celestial Immortal Grade! He’s a Celestial Immortal Grade Artifact Refiner!” Bai Hun was the first to exclaim in astonishment, his old eyes wide open with shock.

“Soul power of the Celestial Immortal Grade realm!” Su Xuan and Yang Qianxiao both wore expressions of sheer disbelief.

“Impossible… His refining realm has surpassed mine!” Yun Wuying was overwhelmed, stunned into silence.

“Celestial Immortal Grade! It’s the Celestial Immortal Grade Artifact Refiner level!” Chi Qingshan couldn’t help exclaiming aloud.

“Wind Shadow’s refining realm has already surpassed the association elders!”

“Unbelievable! Absolutely unbelievable! This feels like a dream.”

“Impossible! Yun Wuying is reputed to be the Heavenly Realm’s number one prodigy artifact refiner, yet he hasn’t broken through to Celestial Immortal Grade. How could anyone else achieve it?”

The venue erupted in chaos, with exclamations echoing throughout the entire association.

“Master is terrifying! Truly terrifying!” Qiao Sanfeng, frozen stiff, murmured numbly.

“Celestial Immortal Grade soul power?” Even Feng Wuchen himself was stunned; when he fully unleashed his soul power, it ascended to an unbelievably high realm.

“Such overwhelmingly powerful soul power—it surpassed even my expectations,” Feng Wuchen murmured as he slowly withdrew his hand and turned to step down.

At that moment, every single person present stared wide-eyed at Feng Wuchen, their expressions filled with awe and fear.

The Celestial Immortal Grade Artifact Refiner realm commands an exalted status in the Heavenly Realm. Even Heavenly God Realm experts must show due respect, not daring even a whisper of insolence.

The status of a Celestial Immortal Grade Artifact Refiner surpasses that of the association elders.

Within the entire Refinement Association, only Bai Hun had ever reached the Celestial Immortal Grade Artifact Refiner realm.
