Vados remained as graceful as ever, silver light flowing around her as she danced away from each deadly attack—but the space she had to move was being steadily compressed by Chen Feng's expanding crimson aura, like a cage tightening around her.
She had just twisted aside to avoid the wind from a punch when Chen Feng suddenly stopped.
The next second, the crimson aura around him contracted violently, then erupted again—more fiercely than ever before.
The light exploded like a supernova, illuminating tens of thousands of miles of space around them.
Chen Feng's speed instantly surged to an entirely new level. He became so fast that even his afterimages nearly vanished, leaving only a scorching trail darting through the void.
Even Vados's Ultra Instinct techniques could barely keep up with his rhythm.
At last, a change came over her usually composed face.
She could feel something awakening within Chen Feng—not merely a stronger aura, but a profound and immense power roused from slumber.
That power was like a black hole in the depths of the universe: dark, unfathomable, carrying a pressure that seemed capable of devouring everything. Even the staff in her hand trembled faintly.
"This is bad..." Vados murmured, and this time her voice was heavy.
Chen Feng slowly raised his hands and brought them together before his chest.
Crimson light gathered from every direction, compressing madly into his palms until it gradually formed a pulsing sphere of light.
The sphere was not large, but its power was so overwhelming that space began to warp and crack. Black fissures spread like a spiderweb, as though even the universe could not withstand that energy.
"Lady Vados." Chen Feng's voice was calm, yet it passed through layer upon layer of space and echoed throughout the entire starfield. "I'm going to get serious now."
Vados did not answer. She merely gripped her staff more tightly.
The silver light around her surged, becoming a pillar that shot into the starry sky. Her sacred, imposing aura contended with Chen Feng's violent crimson fury.
She knew very well that the next strike would no longer be a probe or a sparring match—it would be the moment that truly decided victory or defeat, perhaps even life and death.
In the distance, Champa had long since forgotten how to breathe. His eyes were wide and round, his heart pounding so hard it nearly leaped from his chest.
In the cosmic void, crimson and silver-white light faced each other in silence.
On one side was a blazing crimson that continued to expand, as though it would burn all things to ash. On the other was a cold, pure silver radiance containing boundless divine power.
They each occupied half the sky. Where they intertwined, space gave a pained wail as tiny arcs of electricity and chaotic energy currents scattered everywhere—like two stars about to collide, gathering destructive energy before impact.
The battle was not over yet.
The next instant might mark the beginning of galaxies overturning and space-time shattering.
Crimson aura blazed in the void like countless stars erupting at once, tearing the darkness into fragments of light and shadow.
Chen Feng floated in the void, divine energy rolling around him like flames. Every breath he took made space tremble faintly.
His fist was wrapped in crimson energy as it tore through the void, hurtling toward Vados along a scorching trajectory.
Yet Vados's figure drifted like a phantom.
Her silver hair flowed soundlessly through the vacuum, and a faint silver glow shrouded her body. Every step she took was so light that she seemed untouched by gravity.
Ultra Instinct allowed her to instinctively make the most precise evasions. Chen Feng's savage attacks, powerful enough to rip planets apart, could not even touch the corner of her clothes.
"Lord Chen Feng," Vados's voice flowed like water, transmitted directly through her energy in the vacuum, "your strength is astonishing. Every strike can shake a galaxy, but if this continues, you will not win."
Her figure drifted like smoke and mist through gaps in the crimson aura. With a tap of her staff, rings of energy ripples spread outward.
Chen Feng suddenly halted his assault. The crimson aura withdrew, becoming a layer of light burning close against his body.
He floated amid shattered light and shadow, his chest rising and falling steadily with his breath. His gaze passed through the swaying remnants of energy and settled quietly upon Vados.
Stardust drifted slowly past in the distance like gauze, reflected in his eyes as deep contemplation.
"Lady Vados is right." Chen Feng nodded, his voice steady and clear. "Super Saiyan God truly cannot defeat you."
Vados froze for a moment, and a flicker of surprise passed through her silver eyes.
She had thought this battle-crazed man would be more persistent. She had not expected him to concede so readily.
She tightened her grip on her staff, and the silver halo around her softened, as though she were waiting for the next storm.
"So." Chen Feng drew a deep breath. The sound of his inhalation became a faint ripple of energy in the vacuum. The corner of his lips lifted into a resolute smile. "I'm going to change forms."
As soon as he spoke, the crimson aura around him receded like a tide, stripped away layer by layer from the outside in by an invisible force.
In its place came a profound blue—a blue not as flamboyant as flames, but as tranquil as the deep sea and as vast as the starry sky.
The aura burned silently without spilling even a trace. Every bit of energy had been compressed to the utmost, and even the light was swallowed by the blue.
Vados's pupils suddenly contracted.
She felt Chen Feng's energy vanish—not weaken, but be completely erased from her senses.
It was as though his entire being had merged into the backdrop of the universe and become part of the void.
Yet Chen Feng was clearly standing before her, blue aura flowing around him like battle armor woven from starlight.
Space faintly warped at the edges of his aura. Even the light passing through it changed, as though sight itself could not withstand that utterly restrained power.
"This is..." For the first time, Vados's voice carried a hint of disbelief. She instinctively gripped her staff tighter as silver light seeped from it like curling mist.
"Super Saiyan Blue," Chen Feng said calmly, his voice exceptionally clear beneath the blue aura. "Super Blue for short. It is a form beyond Super Saiyan God, compressing divine energy to its absolute limit and achieving a perfect balance between power and control."
He slowly raised his right hand, palm facing upward.
Blue aura gathered in his palm, condensing into a quietly burning sphere of light.
The sphere gave off no energy fluctuations. Cosmic dust continued drifting around it, and everything appeared normal.
Yet Vados sensed an invisible pressure—the intimidation released when power was restrained to its absolute limit, something almost on the level of natural law.
"And," Chen Feng added, his gaze locking onto Vados like blue stars, "this is Full-Power Super Saiyan Blue."
Vados fell silent.
The silver light around her no longer flowed softly. Instead, it condensed and surged like liquid, while a dazzling silver star lit up at the tip of her staff.
She lowered her stance slightly. Her long hair moved without wind, and her entire presence quietly synchronized with the rhythm of the universe.
In the distance, Champa was completely dumbfounded.
His fat body trembled faintly in the void. Sweat beaded on his forehead, only to vaporize in an instant.
Though he could not sense Chen Feng's current level of power, the tangible pressure brought by that blue aura was like an invisible giant hand clamping around his throat.
"Th-this is impossible..." Champa muttered, his voice breaking from fear. "His power... how is it so much stronger than before... This isn't even the same dimension..."
The blue aura burned silently as Chen Feng stood in the void, as though he had become the sole center of the starfield.
The battle was about to enter an entirely new stage.
In the void of the universe, starlight hung silently like dust.
