After the Void Secret Treasure Divine Seal Transformation broke through its limit, two new traits appeared, but only one of them could be chosen.
One trait was that regardless of whether it was the first seal or the third seal, the duration became ninety-nine breaths.
Before breaking through the limit, the first seal lasted ninety-nine breaths, the second seal sixty-six breaths, and the third seal thirty-three breaths.
The higher the Divine Seal, the shorter its duration. After breaking through the limit, this restriction vanished.
The other trait was the derivation of a fourth seal on the foundation of the third seal.
If he could fuse the fourth seal, his combat power could ultimately rise by thirty-five percent. In other words, it would add another five percent beyond the original third seal.
However, for that extra five percent of combat power, he needed to fuse another eight same-rank avatars.
The first three seals had only required seven same-rank avatars combined, yet the fourth seal needed more same-rank avatars than the previous three seals together for a mere five percent increase. It was extraordinarily poor value for the cost.
But when it came to increasing combat power, value for the cost often did not matter. Take the prodigies on the Profound Ranking: for those ranked relatively low, that extra five percent of combat power could probably guarantee an advance of more than twenty places.
And now, the prodigies on the Profound Ranking had basically all reached their respective limits. Even if they wanted to improve their combat power by the slightest amount, they had nowhere to do so.
Faced with the two traits after breaking through the limit, Chen Fei naturally chose the fourth seal without hesitation.
If he unlocked the fourth seal, its duration would be the same as the third
