Path to Nine Heavens

“The 233rd blade strike!”

…

Luo Feng was astonished by the white-robed man’s blade techniques. These techniques were all at the pinnacle sixth-tier, posing no threat to Luo Feng. However, the fact that they were created solely based on basic laws filled Luo Feng with immense admiration and shock.

While battling the white-robed man, Luo Feng’s Golden Horned Beast clone, within the cultivation space of the inheritance, was also constantly analyzing each blade technique, benefiting from the ten thousand times time acceleration.

“The 360th blade strike!”

When this 360th strike was repelled by Luo Feng,

The white-robed man retreated far, standing on the snowy ground and temporarily stopping.

“Hmm?” Luo Feng paused, surprised. He stopped?

“Since these 360 blade strikes cannot defeat you, then receive my stronger blade techniques,” the white-robed man said. The ice blade in his hand instantly glowed, and a roaring exotic beast subtly appeared—an exotic beast resembling a single-horned lizard.

Luo Feng was startled by the sight.

Gold Beast God?

“Roar~~~” As the ice blade struck, the roaring Gold Beast God that manifested was incredibly shrill and frenzied. Lowering its head, its sharp horn pointed forward, charging as if burning its life force.

Boom!

A shrill golden light streak was left in the void.

“Whoosh~~” A dazzling light of water and fire erupted, directly blocking that shrill blade light.

“Gold-Space Fusion Law,” Luo Feng thought, greatly alarmed. “Seventh-tier blade technique!”

Previously, each of the 360 blade strikes only contained a single basic law, and each was at the pinnacle sixth-tier, equivalent to the ‘Nirvana Rebirth’ level.

But this 361st blade strike, however, was a fusion law, the ‘Gold-Space Law,’ and its power reached the seventh-tier. This forced Luo Feng to also use ‘Light of Water and Fire’ to defend.

The white-robed man had previously claimed to use the same energy as Luo Feng, but in reality, the power he unleashed was more! Because Luo Feng had to use the Bloodshadow Blade to execute ‘Nirvana Rebirth’ to block the white-robed man’s previous 360 strikes.

Clearly…

This fifth level was actually a test of combat secret techniques. As for divine power? Bloodshadow Blade? Other advantages were all useless.

…

“He has seen the profound mystery.”

“He knows the benefits of this fifth level, haha. Look at this warrior Yinhe, constantly fighting, yet he hasn’t unleashed his full power to defeat his opponent. He clearly wants to observe more blade techniques from his opponent.” The four commanders laughed and sighed. Every warrior who reached the fifth level quickly discovered the profound mystery.

Then, one by one, they would joyfully absorb and comprehend.

…

Luo Feng was indeed absorbing and comprehending.

The previous 360 blade strikes had a profound impact on him. Having received the Duan Dong River lineage inheritance, he already understood the importance of the ten basic laws. Luo Feng had long since comprehended these ten basic laws, but he had never delved into them to such an extent.

Understanding laws was like understanding certain elements.

But to what extent one could combine these elements depended on one’s capability. In the Universe Ocean, secret techniques created with fusion laws or space-time laws that reached ‘pinnacle fifth-tier’ were called ‘strongest secret techniques.’ However, in reality, that was just a huge bottleneck, a bottleneck that was very difficult to break through.

Like Luo Feng, didn’t he still create the pinnacle sixth-tier ‘Nirvana Rebirth’ based on the Gold-Space Law? Didn’t he still create the seventh-tier ‘Light of Water and Fire’ based on the laws of water, fire, and gold?

The so-called limits! The so-called perfection! They were actually just huge bottlenecks.

For example, a life gene level of 10,081 times was considered perfect, but Luo Feng had now reached 60,000 times!

…

The impact was immense, especially with the ten thousand times time acceleration in the ‘cultivation space,’ which allowed Luo Feng to ponder extensively. While fighting the white-robed man, Luo Feng’s blade techniques were also gradually improving.

“The 399th blade strike!” The white-robed man instantly transformed into a massive tornado. Within the tornado were streaks of golden blade edges, one after another, layered like fan blades… Luo Feng, enveloped by this endless tornado of blade edges, suddenly let out a low roar.

At the moment he swung his Bloodshadow Blade,

“Boom boom boom boom boom boom!!!!!!” In the center of that layered, endless golden blade-edge tornado, with the swing of the Bloodshadow Blade, everything instantly exploded. Incredibly violent blade light erupted, shattering everything around it. All energy and space-time shattered, and all the layered, endless blade edges shattered as well.

Everything dissipated.

The white-robed man was directly sent flying, retreating three steps, looking at Luo Feng in shock.

Luo Feng, holding the Bloodshadow Blade, was filled with excitement.

Success.

Finally… he finally created a pinnacle seventh-tier blade technique!

‘Nirvana Rebirth’ was a pinnacle sixth-tier blade technique, and ‘Light of Water and Fire’ was a seventh-tier blade technique. Since creating ‘Light of Water and Fire,’ further breakthroughs had been incredibly difficult. Last time in Nine Smoke Marsh, Luo Feng killed that exotic beast True God under the eyes of tens of thousands of True Gods. That time, he was truly fighting for his life, giving his all.

In fact, in that battle, Luo Feng’s blade techniques had already improved, with a feeling of being on the verge of a breakthrough.

But his accumulation was still insufficient.

This time, those 360 blade strikes significantly solidified Luo Feng’s foundation in laws, leading to a natural breakthrough. By combining the four laws of water, fire, gold, and space… he naturally created such an incredibly domineering blade technique. This strike was about explosion, tearing, and destroying everything…

“This blade technique was created within the Wuqi Tower.”

“This time, I must also enter the ninth level and reach the summit of Wuqi Tower.”

“Everything that stands in my way shall be crushed. No one can block my path. This move shall be called the Path to Nine Heavens!” Luo Feng thought to himself.

Luo Feng’s three blade techniques:

‘Nirvana Rebirth,’ ‘Light of Water and Fire,’ ‘Path to Nine Heavens’!

These were also the blade techniques that would definitely be engraved into the Bloodshadow Blade. Of course, since this was Wuqi Tower, Luo Feng was not in a hurry to engrave them yet.

“My blade technique realm has also reached pinnacle seventh-tier. Among the past Duan Dong River inheritors, this is at least an average level,” Luo Feng rejoiced. Among the past Duan Dong River inheritors, only two had created an eighth-tier attack secret technique at the Universe Master stage; most others were at the pinnacle seventh-tier.

“With my blade technique reaching this realm, I can also comprehend the third profound mystery of the Shi Wu Wings. And I can comprehend higher levels of the Star Tower.”

The stronger one’s foundation, the higher the level of power one could unleash from a supreme true treasure.

Back when Luo Feng killed Peixing Master, although he obtained another pair of wings, the third profound mystery of the Shi Wu Wings… Luo Feng simply couldn’t comprehend it; it was too difficult. But now that his blade technique had reached pinnacle seventh-tier, his realm was completely different, and he estimated he should be able to comprehend it.

The first profound mystery of the Shi Wu Wings was ‘Chaotic Space-Time,’ the second was ‘Golden Kingdom.’ He wondered…

What would the third profound mystery be?

Luo Feng was very much looking forward to it!

…

Inside the third grand hall of the silver-gray palace.

The Black Mist Commander exclaimed, “His blade technique has broken through! This is already at the True God mid-level standard.”

Pinnacle sixth-tier blade techniques were only considered True God elementary level.

Pinnacle seventh-tier was considered True God mid-level.

Pinnacle eighth-tier was considered True God high-level. The axe technique created by the Giant Axe Founder back then was at this realm, and with a supreme true treasure, he could unleash pinnacle ninth-tier attacks.

Pinnacle ninth-tier was considered the True God limit! Of course, with a supreme true treasure, one could also unleash a higher level of power, as Jie Fan Zi did.

Pinnacle tenth-tier… these were super figures among True Gods, generally achievable only with the aid of supreme true treasures. Of course, some heaven-defying existences were exceptions, such as Luo Feng, who could create a pinnacle seventh-tier blade technique as a Universe Master. Once he became a True God, he would naturally be able to break through the so-called limits of normal True Gods.

Just like the Original Ancestor!

The ‘Virtual Universe’ created by the Original Ancestor when he wasn’t suppressed already possessed pinnacle tenth-tier power without the aid of any supreme true treasure. Especially during the long years he was suppressed by the primal universe origin, the Original Ancestor had made further breakthroughs, and his realm had actually reached the ‘Void True God’ level, but he had been suppressed all along…

His divine body couldn’t break through (he couldn’t even get divine power supply), and his mini-universe couldn’t evolve (it was still filled with chaotic airflow, and even the most basic evolution hadn’t been completed).

“A Law Master creating a True God mid-level blade technique. Unbelievable. At the Law Master stage, I was slightly inferior to him,” the burly commander sighed.

“Although passing this fifth level is difficult, one only needs to withstand the attacks. I didn’t expect this warrior Yinhe to reach such a realm,” the silver-armored female commander beside him softly exclaimed.

…

This was the truth.

Passing the fifth level was indeed like this: as long as one’s attack secret technique reached the ‘seventh-tier,’ the white-robed man’s first 360 blade strikes were only pinnacle sixth-tier, and his subsequent fusion law blade techniques were only seventh-tier.

As long as one didn’t lose.

Eventually, the white-robed man would concede!

…

“The 450th blade strike!”

Luo Feng, as if possessed, unleashed his frenzied and terrifying blade techniques, instantly striking the white-robed man and sending him crashing into the snowy ground, causing the ground to shatter and leaving long, deep gouges.

Whoosh.

The white-robed man stood up and sighed, “Your strength is formidable. I concede.” He then casually tossed his ice blade, which instantly transformed into ice and snow, scattering away. He himself took a step, reaching a distant point, and with another step, he vanished from Luo Feng’s sight.

Luo Feng stood there, stunned.

“It just ended like that?” Luo Feng was bewildered.

“Just a little more, just a little more!” Luo Feng felt anxious and unwilling.

After creating ‘Path to Nine Heavens,’ Luo Feng had fought the white-robed man with even greater intensity, striving to create an even stronger blade technique! He constantly suppressed the white-robed man, absorbing insights from him with each encounter, integrating suitable ones into his blade techniques… Luo Feng wanted to create an eighth-tier blade technique.

Among the past Duan Dong River inheritors, only two had achieved this at the Universe Master stage. Luo Feng also wanted to achieve it.

But it was truly difficult.

The white-robed man left, and Luo Feng still hadn’t succeeded.

“It seems an eighth-tier blade technique isn’t that easy to create,” Luo Feng mused with a sigh.

“Hmm?” Luo Feng’s heart stirred.

The white-robed man had displayed a total of 450 blade strikes, of which 360 were created solely from the ten basic laws! And fusion laws… there were a total of 90 strikes! All fusion laws were demonstrated. This white-robed man was clearly here to display everything, then gracefully withdraw.

“He conceded, so I succeeded?” Luo Feng suddenly thought, “If I hadn’t created my own blade techniques, but instead used some secret techniques from a supreme true treasure, what would have been the result?”

Secret techniques unleashed with the aid of supreme true treasures were generally one tier higher.

Luo Feng quickly understood. This was the Wuqi Tower left by His Majesty the God King. Whether a challenger relied on a supreme true treasure or their own abilities, if it couldn’t be discerned, that would be a joke.

“Boom!”

A pillar of light descended from the sky, enveloping Luo Feng.

Whoosh!

Luo Feng vanished from the snowy ground of Wuqi Tower’s fifth level.
