Super Saiyan 4 Blue

Her lips parted slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but the words rose to her mouth and were swallowed back down. Only an almost inaudible sigh remained.

She stared at Chen Feng, her eyes complex, filled with surprise, doubt, and a faint flutter she herself had not even noticed, forcibly suppressed.

In the distance, Champa's massive body had frozen in place, his brow tightly furrowed.

He could not make out the words carried on the wind, but the atmosphere between Chen Feng and Vados was like an invisible wall, completely shutting him out.

All he could see was Vados's slightly upturned profile, while Chen Feng stood like a mountain—quiet, yet impossible to ignore.

Champa had a breath of frustration trapped in his chest, anxiety, confusion, and the anger of being ignored all churning together.

"Vados!" Champa could not help shouting again, his voice echoing through the empty realm. "What are you standing around for? Hurry up and attack!"

Yet no one paid any attention to his shout. It was like a stone dropped into water, without even a ripple.

Vados seemed not to hear him at all. She merely gazed quietly, deeply, at Chen Feng.

She gripped her staff as the silver light at its tip flickered brightly and dimly, seeming to move in sync with her emotions.

"Lord Chen Feng," she finally said. Her voice was lower than usual, but carried an icy calm and resolve. "You said just now that you wanted a 'serious' battle."

Vados slowly raised her staff, angling it before her as a faint silver glow began to emerge around her body.

"Then please allow me to witness... your true strength."

Chen Feng said nothing. He merely nodded lightly.

He slowly raised his right hand, his movements steady as though he were performing some sort of ritual, then—pressed his palm against his lower back.

The entire space seemed to hold its breath. Vados and Champa's pupils abruptly contracted as they watched with their own eyes—Su Bai slowly pulled a tail out from behind himself.

A brown Saiyan tail covered in soft, short fur swayed gently in the void, its tip curling slightly as though it possessed a life of its own.

"H-How is that possible?"

For the first time, a crack appeared in Vados's voice, full of shock. "The Saiyans of the Sixth Universe evolved away their tails long ago. It is a flaw in their bloodline..."

A faint smile curved Chen Feng's lips, concealing deep deliberation. "I made a wish to Namek's Dragon God," he said, his fingertips brushing over the fur at the base of his tail. "I asked for a tail that truly belonged to the roots of the Saiyan race."

After saying that, he skillfully wrapped the tail around his waist like fastening an ancient battle belt. Then he closed his eyes and drew in a deep breath—one that seemed to pull all the sparse cosmic energy around him into his body.

The transformation began.

The blue aura surrounding him gradually underwent an eerie shift in color. The deep blue slowly faded, while a dark red radiance flowed from within him like magma, heavy and suppressed. The light was not particularly bright, yet it possessed a dense texture, like magma stirring restlessly within a volcanic crater.

"Super Saiyan 4," Chen Feng's voice slowly rang out amid the red glow, every word seeming to strike against space itself. "For short, Super Saiyan 4. This is not a continuation of the path of gods, but another branch of the Saiyan bloodline—it does not rely on divine ki, but awakens the power of the Golden Great Ape buried deep within the blood. But the Great Ape's power is too violent; anyone with a slightly weaker will would be consumed by it."

The dark red radiance grew denser, as though countless bloody arcs of electricity were coursing beneath his skin.

"So, I used the 'emptiness' of Ultra Instinct to suppress that violence, then used Super Blue's divine ki to forge this body—"

Before he could finish, the transformation had already erupted completely.

His hair—once short and black—began growing rapidly, turning into a thick, wild mane of long black hair that fell behind his shoulders and whipped madly in the surging energy. His body did not grow larger; instead, it became even more lean and refined. Every line of muscle was clear as if carved by a blade, like a killing weapon tempered through countless trials, concealing the most primal explosive force. A faint red glow also emerged across his skin, as though he had just been bathed in magma.

But most shocking was the aura around him—the blue had vanished entirely, leaving only gold and blazing crimson intertwined like the fire of an eternal star. The golden and red currents continuously tore at and fused with each other as sharp cracks of energy exploded without end.

The composure on Vados's face finally disappeared. Her fingers around the staff had turned white, and her eyes—capable of seeing through the laws of countless universes—were filled with unbelievable shock.

She could "see" it—yes, see it directly—the power within Chen Feng had completely surpassed her understanding of "form stacking." This was not a simple accumulation of power, but two energy systems that should have been mutually incompatible, truly fused into an entirely new existence under an extreme balance.

The savage power deep within the bloodline of Super Saiyan 4 and the divine power of absolute control from Super Blue had somehow fit together perfectly, seamless and flawless.

"This is the fusion of Super Saiyan 4 and Super Blue." Chen Feng's voice was low and resonant, carrying the echo of an ancient Great Ape. "Pushing the physical body to the mythical limit, then using divine will to command that power. Two powers capable of reaching the realm of angels, united as one—"

He slowly opened his eyes. Golden light shone brilliantly in his pupils, with a trace of divine azure in their depths.

"I call it—Super Saiyan 4 Blue."

"BOOM—!!!!!"

As the final word fell, the intertwined gold-and-red aura around his entire body exploded! It did not surge forth—it detonated. A pillar of energy over a hundred meters wide shot into the heavens, gold and crimson twisting into a spiral as it instantly illuminated the desolate training starfield, even dyeing the distant stellar remains the color of dusk.
