Breaking Through the Limit

"Lady Vados." Chen Feng spoke, his voice carrying through the roaring energy, terrifyingly calm, like the dead silence before a volcanic eruption.

"Didn't I say it long ago? Saiyans have no limits."

He slowly raised a hand and clenched his fingers. Even space began to hum, as though he would crush it apart the next second.

"Today." His gaze locked onto Vados, every word striking the spine of the universe like a hammer. "I'm going to break your limits."

He suddenly clenched his fist, his knuckles whitening as his aura erupted like a volcano.

Golden light and red flames tangled and tore at each other like mad before finally converging into a massive pillar of light that shot into the sky, ripping apart the clouds and plunging deep into space.

The light was blinding, as if it were about to set the entire universe ablaze.

On Planet Sadala, countless warriors looked up in stunned silence—there were actually two "suns" hanging in the sky, one brilliant gold and the other like molten lava.

Beneath the black canopy of the heavens, two streams of light intertwined, casting layers upon layers of light and shadow.

Vados stood in the void, the staff in her hand trembling faintly.

Her silver eyes reflected the two torrents of light. The silver flames around her continued to rise and condense, eventually wrapping around her entire body like a galaxy.

She knew clearly that once this attack landed, everything would be completely rewritten.

The order of the universe, the fate of all living beings—everything hung on this moment.

The next second, the two streams of light moved.

There was no sound, yet it shook the heart more than any roar could.

Golden and silver light slammed together across the curtain of the universe, exploding into a mass of white radiance capable of devouring stars.

The shockwave spread wildly.

Passing meteors were instantly reduced to dust, while distant stars flickered in and out.

Even space was torn open like glass, split by pitch-black cracks. Time became viscous and distorted beneath the churning energy.

Champa had long since fled to the edge of the starfield, his fat body pressed behind a massive meteorite as he barely dared to breathe.

His eyes were wide, but he could not see either of their movements at all. He could only see two incomparably dazzling lights crossing and colliding in the darkness.

Every touch burst into a shower of light. Like two living meteors, they danced a dance of destruction beneath the eternal night.

Chen Feng's offensive grew fiercer and faster with every exchange.

Every one of his punches could shatter a star. When his fist wind swept through, even the void rippled under the pressure.

Vados's movements remained elusive, silver light always dissolving his attacks at the last possible instant.

But Chen Feng's speed was terrifyingly fast. For the first time, a flaw appeared in her "instinct"—the flow of silver light slowed for an instant.

That instant was enough.

Without any flourish, a heavy punch wrapped in golden flames slammed fiercely into the staff Vados had raised to block it.

"Clang—!"

With a deafening crash, the staff bent violently, and its silver glow immediately dimmed.

Chen Feng followed with a knee strike, smashing toward Vados's abdomen like a meteor impact.

She only had time to lower her arm to block. With a bang, her whole body was sent flying as though struck by a celestial body, trailing a silver streak behind her.

Before she could steady herself, Chen Feng was already upon her.

His hands clamped down like iron pincers around the silver-glowing staff. His muscles tensed as he violently yanked it toward himself!

Vados was about to adjust her posture and never expected him to fight so desperately. With that pull, she lost her balance.

The instant her body tilted forward, Chen Feng drove his forehead straight into hers!

"Bang—!"

A dull impact rang out as a silver halo exploded across her forehead.

A sharp pain surged through her, and a streak of golden blood ran down from her forehead, tracing across her fair cheek.

The violent shock made the light in her silver eyes vanish for an instant, her consciousness falling into a blank, buzzing void.

That blankness was the end.

Chen Feng released the staff, and the unsupported silver divine artifact drifted away.

He did not pause. Twisting his waist, he compressed all his strength and aura into both fists.

His right fist blasted toward Vados's unguarded abdomen like a cannonball, while his left fist shot upward like a bolt of golden lightning and smashed into her chin.

Light exploded once more.

Vados's body seemed to have been struck by an invisible giant hammer, carving a grim arc through the void.

She crashed into a small planet floating in space. Its hard rocky surface instantly shattered, fragments scattering like fireworks before quickly returning to silence.

Dust and broken stone tumbled through the vacuum, swallowing her whole.

Chen Feng hovered in the distance, his chest heaving violently. Every breath expelled searing white vapor, which quickly condensed and vanished against the near-absolute-zero backdrop of space.

The energy around his body was unstable. His golden-blue aura writhed like two mad serpents tearing at each other, spitting out blinding arcs of electricity.

The backlash began to show—fine cracks like parched earth spread from his arms and chest all the way up to his neck.

Scorching light shone through every fissure, as if his body could be blown apart by the power at any moment.

The immense power of Super Saiyan 4 Blue Form was burning his flesh without mercy.

Yet he did not waste even a second worrying about his body, which was on the verge of collapse.

His gaze was like a blade, fixed firmly on the presence within that cloud of dust.

Suddenly, the pile of rubble exploded!

Vados burst through the dust and hovered above the wreckage.

Her purple dress was stained with stardust and somewhat disheveled, but the silver radiance around her was stronger than ever.

This light was no longer gentle. Like liquid mercury, it was heavy and restrained, carrying palpitating fluctuations.

The smile she usually wore had vanished, replaced by an almost icy focus.

Within those violet eyes, the flickering birth and death of stars flowed at rapid speed.

"Lord Chen Feng," her voice rang directly in Chen Feng's mind. It was much deeper than usual, and every word carried weight. "Your power has indeed far exceeded my expectations. But—" Her gaze swept over the shocking cracks covering Chen Feng's body. "Have you calculated when this body that carries a miracle will finally collapse?"

Chen Feng lowered his head and looked at his left arm, covered in cracks and trembling faintly. The stabbing pain of conflicting energies pierced into his marrow like countless fine needles.

Yet the corners of his lips slowly rose, carrying both pain and excitement.

"Simple." He laughed hoarsely, his voice exceptionally clear. "I'll hold on... until I beat you."

The moment he finished speaking, his right hand darted into his clothes like lightning—the movement was so small that it was nearly concealed by the energy storm.

The next instant, he pulled out a glowing emerald bean and, without hesitation, shoved it into his mouth and bit down.

"Crack."

The faint crisp sound seemed to flip some hidden switch.

Boundless vitality erupted through his entire body like a volcano.

The cracks on his arms, chest, and neck healed at a visible speed. His skin regained its smoothness, becoming even healthier than before.

His nearly depleted stamina was instantly replenished, even overflowing. His muscles rejoiced, his bones gave crisp sounds of reforging, and even the previously violent, clashing golden-blue aura seemed to have been infused with a stabilizer. Though it still surged violently, it temporarily calmed down.
