Permanent Martial Arts Chapter 288 - The Canopy

Chapter 288: The Canopy

Although Lin Feng already had the combat power of a Sage, as he partic.i.p.ated in the Conference of Sages, and as his environment changed, the power tiers he came into contact with became stronger and stronger, and the secrets he learned became more and more profound. Paradoxically, he felt more and more insecure, and even felt a faint sense of crisis.

The destruction of the seventh civilization and the third civilization perplexed Lin Feng. If it was due to an external force, how devastating must it be?

His current strength was far from enough.

He needed to protect his family, his loved ones, and more people. Thus, he needed the power to protect these people!

Two life transitions were far from enough.

Lin Feng began to prepare for the third life transition. However, if he wanted to undergo the third life transition, he had to cultivate the Mental Guidance Technique to the third level first. Just the second level of the Mental Guidance Technique was far from enough. Even if Lin Feng could undergo three life transitions, he would not be able to cultivate the combat body for three life transitions.

Mental power was the foundation!

However, Lin Feng did not know how long it would take for him to reach the third level of mental power growth if he just practiced the Bemond Mental Guidance Technique step by step.

He could continue to purchase miraculous items, but it would also take a long time. After all, the effects of miraculous items on Lin Feng’s mental power were becoming weaker and weaker.

“Longbetham, is there any better way to break through to the third level of mental power if I want to do so in a short period of time?” Lin Feng asked Longbetham again.

Longbetham shook its head and said, “Actually, some cosmic miraculous items are also very effective. However, it is obviously impossible for your world to contain such cosmic miraculous items. If you cultivate step by step, your progress will indeed be very slow. Still, another method is not completely implausible.”

“What method?”

“Enter the universe! Normally, lifeforms below the planetary level will experience a kind of sublimation when they enter the universe for the first time. Yes, you will definitely comprehend something after seeing the vast and cold universe with your own eyes. However, I am unsure how much you can comprehend, or to what extent your mental power can increase. If you are lucky, you may be able to break through to the third level of the Mental Guidance Technique.”

“Enter the universe?”

Lin Feng was a little speechless. How could he enter the universe while the Canopy exists?

However, speaking of the Canopy, Lin Feng was really curious about it. Although everyone knew about the Canopy, many people did not know what it looked like, or how miraculous it was.

Perhaps only martial artists above the Meta-divine Realm could fly thousands of kilometers into the sky to see the Canopy with their own eyes.

“The Canopy…”

Lin Feng was genuinely a little tempted. This Canopy prevented humans from entering the universe, but didn’t it also protect humans from being a.s.saulted by various catastrophes in the universe?

Who had set up the Canopy? How many years had it existed? How could it be broken?

There were too many questions about the Canopy.

“Longbetham, what do you know about the Canopy?”

“You want to go to the Canopy?”

Longbetham could tell what Lin Feng was thinking at a glance.

“That’s right. With the Canopy there, I can’t enter the universe, but I can at least take a look at the Canopy.”

Lin Feng did not hide his thoughts. The Canopy was so miraculous that he would see it for himself sooner or later.

“With your current combat body, going to see the Canopy is nothing difficult.”

Lin Feng left the ruins. With a sudden stomp of his foot, he shot into the sky like a rocket.

As Lin Feng was too fast, it was as if Lin Feng’s surroundings were ablaze. From afar, it looked like a huge fireball was soaring into the sky.

These were flames produced by the friction between Lin Feng and the air. With the strength of Lin Feng’s combat body, mere flames were nothing.

Soon, Lin Feng rushed into the clouds. The temperature here slowly decreased. This was the so-called troposphere, the closest layer of atmosphere to the ground.

The troposphere was only about 20 kilometers away from the ground. Lin Feng continued to ascend into the troposphere. His speed became faster and faster, and the temperature dropped lower and lower.

When he was 50 kilometers away from the ground, he arrived at the stratosphere. The temperature was so low that even Lin Feng’s body could not withstand it. He immediately deployed his combat body. The combat body at about 10 meters was already sufficient to resist such cold.

The Canopy was still not visible here, so Lin Feng continued upward. After pa.s.sing through the stratosphere, he arrived at the mesosphere, about 100 kilometers from the ground. Above that was the thermosphere, about 800 kilometers from the ground.

After he arrived at thermosphere, Lin Feng clearly sensed that the star power around him had become incredibly active. Even the temperature had increased by a lot. If he absorbed Astral Power here, it would definitely yield twice the results with half the effort.

However, Lin Feng did not come here to absorb star power. The Canopy could not be seen here yet. Hence, he continued upward. This time, it took longer.

When Lin Feng was thousands of kilometers away from the ground, he finally saw a translucent, miraculous light screen. This light screen was faintly discernible, and somewhat difficult to observe with the naked eye. He could only vaguely see it.

Using his mental power, he could clearly sense the existence of this light screen.

“This is the Canopy?”

Lin Feng approached even closer. As Lin Feng’s mental power could see, his faintly discernible and seemingly fragile light screen enveloped the entire planet. It was unknown how ma.s.sive it was.

Lin Feng attempted to continue flying upwards.

Bang.

Lin Feng felt as if he had collided with a ball of cotton, his force landing nowhere.

“Longbetham, is this the Canopy that’s sealing the entire planet, preventing humans from entering the universe? It does appear a little strange, but it can’t be that strong, right?”

“You can give it a try.” Longbetham said flatly.

Lin Feng really did intend to give it a try. In the past, he had always heard that the Canopy was so miraculous that even Sages could not break it. Since he was here today, he naturally had to try it for himself.

“Tidal Combat Body!”

Lin Feng directly used the Tidal Combat Body. The 260-meter Tidal Combat Body looked ma.s.sive on the ground, but in the atmosphere and under the Canopy, it looked very insignificant.

With a combat body of 260 meters, Lin Feng felt that his entire body was filled with infinite power.

“Break!”

Lin Feng threw a punch. The power of the Tidal Combat Body erupted completely without holding back at all.

Even the Guardian probably would not be able to withstand this punch. It was entirely the combat power of a Sage, and one of the best among Sages. In terms of strength alone, Lin Feng was the top among all the Sages. Even the Invincible Fist Sage was probably not his match.

Boom.

With a punch from Lin Feng, even a mountain could be reduced to nothing in an instant. If Lin Feng unleashed his full power in a punch, even a city would be destroyed.

How terrifying was a strike from a Sage?

Yet, when such an earth-shattering punch collided with the Canopy, there was no movement at all. It only spread in all directions like ripples on water, without even a “splash”.

The Canopy remained intact and undamaged!
