Ye Chenfeng tests his physical strength against the wind and rain in a stone chamber. While the chamber is meant for Divine Emperor Realm Initial Stage cultivators, it proves too weak for him. He then reveals his physical strength is at the Late Stage, astonishing Shen Xiuhai and the others, who believed him to be at most Middle Stage.

After a long while.

Shen Xiuhai, Fan Qianrong, and Shen Tingyu gradually came back to their senses.

Reaching the Initial Stage of the Divine Emperor Realm at thirty years old, and the body strength reaching the Middle Stage was unprecedented.

This was simply unimaginable; they really didn’t know how Ye Chenfeng cultivated?

They led Ye Chenfeng into the penultimate Emperor Chamber, which was specifically meant for warriors at the Middle Stage of the Divine Emperor Realm to refine their hands.

The structure of this chamber was not much different from the previous one, with a huge stone placed in the middle, and there were two palm-shaped grooves at the top of the stone.

The layout was exactly the same as the previous chamber, and the biggest difference was probably the power contained within the grooves.

Without any hesitation, Ye Chenfeng walked straight to the huge stone and pressed his palms into the grooves.

From a distance, Fan Qianrong asked softly, "Old Shen, how long do you estimate this young friend can endure?"

Shen Xiuhai gathered his thoughts and said, "This time, I reckon I won’t estimate incorrectly. This younger brother’s physical strength is already at the Middle Stage of the Divine Emperor Realm, that’s a fact. The power in this chamber is specially targeted for the Middle Stage physical body. I just experienced my younger brother’s physical strength, and he should last around thirty to forty breaths."

Shen Tingyu, on the side, was repeatedly amazed in her heart, as this was already a very high evaluation. She knew something about the four Emperor Chambers, and for this chamber, most Middle Stage Divine Emperor Realm warriors could only last about fifteen to twenty breaths. Yet, Shen Xiuhai’s evaluation for Ye Chenfeng was thirty to forty breaths.

All their eyes were fixed on Ye Chenfeng.

Ye Chenfeng, with his palms pressed into the grooves, gradually felt the forming of a strangling force, which made his brows furrow. The force, akin to a fierce beast, relentlessly tore at his hands.

Blood streaks began to open on his palms, with blood seeping out.

In the air above his palms, raindrops began to form, densely falling onto the back of his hands, creating indentations on his bones, but couldn’t shatter them.

One breath after another passed by.

Just now, Ye Chenfeng had voluntarily endured a strike from Shen Xiuhai; his maximum physical strength had never been fully unleashed.

So, this time Shen Xiuhai was certainly wrong again.

Forty breaths had long passed.

Shen Xiuhai, speechless, shook his head repeatedly and said, "I’m old; it seems I really am old. This younger brother is truly unfathomable."

As Shen Xiuhai’s voice fell.

Ye Chenfeng withdrew his hands, although they seemed bloodied, they were not fundamentally injured.

He felt that, given the strength of this chamber, it still couldn’t refine his hands effectively. He needed a stronger refining force. Only by giving it his all could the physical strength of his hands possibly reach the Peak of the Divine Emperor Realm. After all, reaching the Peak of the Divine Emperor Realm in terms of physical strength wasn’t easy.

"Old brother, is there a stronger refining stone chamber?" Ye Chenfeng asked.

Looking at Ye Chenfeng’s bloodied hands, yet with a determined expression, Shen Xiuhai thought for a moment and said, "Well, there is one last chamber here, specifically for refining the hands of Peak Divine Emperor Realm warriors. It’s always been closed because we don’t have any Peak Divine Emperor Realm warriors in the Shens, as the strongest is just me."

Shen Tingyu quickly said, "Patriarch, you want to open the last Emperor Chamber? Didn’t you say there’s only one chance to use it for refining? Once that opportunity is used, it renders the chamber unusable."

Shen Xiuhai nodded and said, "Indeed, it’s a one-time chance, but if this younger brother needs it, let him use it. I’m not sure if I’ll ever reach the Peak of the Divine Emperor Realm myself."

"Younger brother, as I said, you can consider the Shens your family. I’m the only one who can open the last Emperor Chamber, and I’ll help you open it now."

Ye Chenfeng needed to enhance the physical strength of his hands to master the fourth seal of the Dragon God Overturning Seal. Now was not the time to be sentimental, and he earnestly told Shen Xiuhai, "Old brother, I am grateful for this. You will definitely reach the Peak of the Divine Emperor Realm in the future."

This was a promise from Ye Chenfeng.

Even a blind man could see Ye Chenfeng’s immense potential for the future. If he could enter the legendary Eternal Life Realm, helping Shen Xiuhai reach the Peak of the Divine Emperor Realm shouldn’t be too hard, especially since Shen Xiuhai was already at the Middle Stage, and very close to the Middle-to-Late Stage.

Hearing this, Shen Xiuhai smiled with satisfaction, "Younger brother, just having you say that is enough, let’s go!"

Under Shen Xiuhai’s guidance, everyone arrived in front of the last Emperor Chamber.

The heavy stone door of the last Emperor Chamber was tightly closed, engraved with complex overlapping formations, and various mechanisms were designed within the stone door, making any forced entry a painful experience.

In Shen Xiuhai’s hand appeared a round jade pendant, which fit perfectly into a round groove on the stone door.

Placing the round jade pendant into the groove, the entire pendant began to rotate inside.

The entire heavy stone door radiated blinding brilliance.

The sound of "Ka! Ka! Ka!" echoed in the air.

The stone door slowly opened by itself.

A dusty feeling washed over them, as the last Emperor Chamber was not usually opened, not even Shen Xiuhai could recall the last time it was used.

The group entered the final chamber, and the layout and structure didn’t vary much.

However, the stone in the center of the room was about five times larger than in previous chambers.

In the enormous stone, there were still two palm-shaped grooves.

Shen Xiuhai reminded on the side, "Younger brother, the power of the wind and rain in this chamber can only be used once. This means once you remove your hands from the grooves, the power will dissipate on its own, so handle it wisely!"

"But don’t push yourself too hard, this place is for refining Peak Divine Emperor Realm warriors."
