Sweat poured from Ye Chu’s forehead, but he did not give up, completely immersing his mind in it. As Ye Chu immersed himself, the dark spring formed by the black iron trembled continuously. With each tremor, Ye Chu’s mind became a bit clearer, his perception more acute, and his comprehension grew stronger. Immersed in this, a scene soon appeared in his mind.
A cultivator clad in armour, possessing an unparalleled, world shaking majesty, raised his hands and danced continuously in the void.
With each swing, the heavens and earth trembled, losing their colour in the wake of the dance. Every movement was perfect to the extreme, seemingly nurturing the Great Dao within, with patterns flashing around and laws drifting.
With each movement, Ye Chu felt his blood boil, as if he were on a battlefield, slaying countless enemies, his courage multiplying.
Every movement carried an indomitable, peerless sharpness, as if the entire world was contained within this single motion. It was an invincible aura.
Shaking the heavens and earth, Ye Chu was immersed in it, his heart trembling endlessly. Every movement was too perfect, seemingly nurturing the Dao within. This was a peerless holy technique, and Ye Chu’s experience was already extraordinary.
Although he possessed supreme techniques, in terms of offensive power, none of his methods could compare to this technique.
The offensive power of the Buried Void Sword Art was extraordinary, but under this technique, it paled in comparison. This was a technique of the heavens and earth.
Ye Chu’s mind was immersed in it. The technique was too profound. Even with his whole heart and soul immersed, he still felt immense strain, with streams of sweat pouring from his forehead, but Ye Chu ignored all this, gritting his teeth and persisting.
Such a technique was hard to find. If he missed it, he would probably not even have the chance to cry about it.
Ignoring the discomfort, Ye Chu gritted his teeth and persevered. Perceiving every movement of the armoured figure within, with each movement, Ye Chu’s black iron trembled a bit more, and his complexion grew a shade paler.
Just like this, Ye Chu sat there for three days. During these three days, his body was already soaked in sweat, and his face was as pale as lime. If anyone had seen him, they would have thought he was a corpse.
After three days, Ye Chu suddenly awoke. As his eyes opened, a sword formed from power in his hand suddenly shot out along with his body’s movement.
“Break…”
Ye Chu shouted. As the shout fell, there was only this single strike between heaven and earth. Everything else lost its colour, including those eighteen pillars of light. An irresistible sharpness danced out from within, piercing the stone wall. The wall was instantly penetrated, shooting in who knew how many metres.
Penetrating a stone wall was something even a king could do. But penetrating the stone wall within this place was not something everyone could achieve, because the stone walls here were fortified by laws.
Yet now, with Ye Chu’s shot, he penetrated the law fortified stone wall. If anyone had seen this, they would surely have been shocked out of their minds, as this far exceeded their imagination.
After executing this single strike, Ye Chu’s face became even paler. He gasped heavily, as if all the power in his entire body had been completely exhausted in this one moment.
“Holy King!”
Ye Chu’s heart also trembled. Having just awakened from his perception, all the essence was gathered into a single strike, and even the law fortified stone wall had cracked. Only then did Ye Chu realise how terrifying this single strike was.
Ye Chu naturally knew this was the Holy King technique, but precisely because he knew, he could not remain calm.
Back then, when the Great General was titled the Holy King, his strongest ultimate technique was the Holy King. In those days, with this holy technique, he was invincible in the Qing Domain. This technique had disappeared along with his death. Yet Ye Chu never expected that he would leave the Holy King technique here.
Thinking of the exquisiteness of the Holy King technique, Ye Chu could not help but marvel, wondering what kind of astonishingly brilliant figure could have created such a peerless technique.
All along, Ye Chu had possessed many secret techniques. He also possessed several supreme techniques, but offensive holy techniques were extremely rare, with only the Buried Void Sword Art. Of course, his Heavenly Emperor Fist could barely be counted as one.
Against ordinary cultivators, these secret techniques were sufficient. However, when confronting those capable of reaching the Heavenly Secret List, relying solely on these was somewhat inadequate.
He never expected that he would actually obtain the Holy King technique. With such a secret technique in his hands, his combat power would increase manifold, and he would have no fear even when facing those on the Heavenly Secret List.
“Although the Holy King is not a supreme technique, it is equally a king of offence. With it in hand, and using the Green Lotus as a foundation, I can truly roam this world!”
Ye Chu became excited. He calmed his mind, sat cross legged in the cave, and immersed his consciousness in comprehension.
Having obtained the Holy King technique, it was the perfect time to comprehend it in detail.
As Ye Chu comprehended it, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth around him also seeped into his body. If an outsider were to see this, they would even feel the laws of the cave continuously penetrating Ye Chu’s body. These were laws Ye Chu originally could not accept, but under the trembling of the black iron, they transformed into streams of power that merged into his limbs and bones.
Ye Chu just sat there cross legged, ignoring the integration of the external spiritual energy, as his entire body and mind were focused on the Holy King technique.
The more Ye Chu perceived the Holy King technique, the more laws penetrated his body, transforming into energy that surged through his limbs and bones. Ye Chu was wrapped in a thick layer of power, like a cocoon, his entire body suspended in the void.
As the power continuously penetrated Ye Chu’s body, the spiritual energy in his sea of qi grew increasingly dense. The dark spring formed by the black iron trembled endlessly. With each tremor, something different emerged. Ancient characters appeared in the dark spring, and as these characters fell into Ye Chu’s primal spirit, the primal spirit, which had transformed into a green lotus, became even more emerald.
Ye Chu’s aura was increasing, with spiritual energy rolling and surging towards him, like a river flowing in reverse.
…
Another three days passed, and Ye Chu’s strength actually advanced again, stepping into the third level of the Profound Splendour Realm. This was not strange. With the power transformed from laws and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth pouring into Ye Chu’s body over these days, it would have been strange if his strength only increased by one level.
As for the elevation of his realm, Ye Chu had benefited immensely from comprehending the Holy King, and his primal spirit had also grown much stronger.
Upon reaching the third level of the Profound Splendour Realm, Ye Chu’s strength continued to increase. However, it was much slower compared to before. After another three days, Ye Chu’s strength reached the peak of the third level of the Profound Splendour Realm.
“So that is how it is!”
Feeling the change in his strength, Ye Chu could not help but give a wry smile. He had not expected his strength to increase again this time, and all of this was because of the black iron.
When Ye Chu was comprehending the Holy King, the black iron actually drew in the laws of this place. Under the trembling of the black iron, these laws all transformed into dense power, which pushed him to the peak of the third level in one go.
Ye Chu knew very well that when the Great General cultivated in the past, he had largely relied on the black iron. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for the black iron to draw in those laws and transform them into power for his own use.
“What exactly is this black iron? I still have not gotten your answer!”
