Chapter 197

Duntiansuo's Three Major Forms

"Duntian Secret Art." Luo Feng looked down at the book in his hand. After obtaining this secret manual, he had never seriously looked at it. The pages of this secret manual were made of a special black material, unlike any material currently found on Earth. The specks of starlight on the cover exuded a faint, yet unsettling aura upon closer inspection. "Even a book is this special," Luo Feng said, turning to the first page. "This is a secret art of the Yunmo Star Controller lineage. Practitioners must not transmit this secret art externally. If transmitted to other members within Yunmo Star, the penalty is sixty years of hard labor. If transmitted outside Yunmo Star... death without mercy!!!" This short passage shocked Luo Feng to his core. Clearly, Yunmo Star was a very strict organization. Even internal members couldn't casually transmit secret arts, and transmitting them to the outside world was an absolute taboo! "I passed the assessment death mission, so that bald crystal man clearly recognized me as a Yunmo Star member." Luo Feng turned to the second page. "The 'Duntian Secret Art' is a unique manual for using the Duntiansuo." "The Duntiansuo is one of the psychic weapons created by 'Huyan Bo,' the master of my Yunmo Star. However, only by combining it with the 'Duntian Secret Art' can the Duntiansuo's true power be unleashed. Using the Duntiansuo allows psychic controllers of my Yunmo Star lineage to kill enemies beyond their rank." "The Duntiansuo has a total of three major forms." "For the First Form, cultivation is possible once the amplitude reaches 12." "For the Second Form, cultivation is possible only when the amplitude reaches 30." "The Third Form is the ultimate form of the Duntiansuo, requiring one to reach the 'Cosmic Level,' possess their own domain, and have an amplitude of 48 to cultivate." "The content for the First Form of the 'Duntian Secret Art' can be directly read. The content for the Second Form can only be accessed when the amplitude reaches 30. And the content for the Third Form can only be opened when one's psychic energy reaches the 'Cosmic Level'." "Below, the secret art of the First Form is detailed." Luo Feng finished reading the page, a wry smile on his face. It seemed unlikely he'd be able to read through the entire secret manual. "Let's try," Luo Feng said, attempting to quickly flip through the pages. The special black pages turned one by one, but when he reached about one-third of the way through, Luo Feng could no longer turn them. It was as if the remaining two-thirds of the manual were firmly stuck together. The last page Luo Feng could access displayed a profound and complex diagram. Beside it was a line of text— "Integrate psychic energy into the diagram. Success will allow you to access the Duntiansuo's Second Form content." "Seems quite mysterious," Luo Feng muttered, staring at the diagram. With a thought, his psychic energy extended into it. Boom! Instantly, his psychic energy plunged into a universe. At that moment, Luo Feng felt as if he had transformed into one of its planets. The vast cosmos seemed to be in a state of great destruction, with countless planets hurtling madly towards him, thousands upon thousands, innumerable! The world-shattering scene made Luo Feng tremble. He tried to use his psychic energy to control the planets, attempting to block them. "Rumble~~" In less than a second, Luo Feng was crushed to dust by the countless planets, his psychic energy directly annihilated. "Hoo, hoo." Sweat beaded on Luo Feng's forehead. He looked at the diagram before him, his heart still pounding. "What was that? An illusion?" Luo Feng was utterly shocked. He had never heard of any psychic master on Earth being able to create such a realistic illusion. "It seems it's just as the secret manual said. I must reach an amplitude of 30 to access the Second Form content. My current amplitude is 16, still a long way off!" Luo Feng knew from the Ancient Civilization Ruin No. 9 that the number of throwing knives he could control at maximum power indicated his amplitude! Luo Feng's amplitude was 16! Looking across the entire Earth, there wasn't a single psychic master stronger than him. Of course, in the vast cosmos, Luo Feng's achievement was far from impressive; it was only something to boast about on Earth. "The Duntiansuo is divided into 'Attack Form,' 'Defense Form,' and 'Flight Form'." "Among these, the 'Flight Form' of the Duntiansuo's First Form is the Duntiansuo's main body. The Attack Form is the 'Mountain-Drilling Cone,' and the Defense Form is the 'Heavy Mountain Shield.' The First Form is divided into three layers of mastery: the first layer requires an amplitude of 12 to cultivate, the second layer requires an amplitude of 18, and the third layer requires an amplitude of 24." ... The 'Duntian Secret Art' is divided into three major forms, and each form has three layers, meaning there are a total of nine layers of mastery! And Luo Feng's current amplitude is 16, so he can only cultivate the first layer of the First Form! "Incredible." "Remarkable. What was 'Huyan Bo,' the master of Yunmo Star, thinking to devise all this?" As Luo Feng read, his admiration for the Yunmo Star master grew. According to the manual, the Duntiansuo and the 'Duntian Secret Art' were merely some of the many psychic weapons created by 'Huyan Bo,' the master of Yunmo Star. Ancient Civilization Ruin No. 9 was also left behind by Huyan Bo. "So the complex patterns on the Duntiansuo's 365 blades have this function, but what's the principle behind it?" Luo Feng read further but still didn't understand. It was like using a submachine gun; the manual only told you how to use it, not how to manufacture it. The Duntiansuo didn't explain the principles of its creation. "Amazing." "Absolutely incredible." Luo Feng felt a surge of excitement. "I'll go to the wilderness now and try to cultivate the first layer." ... In the dead of night, Luo Feng, standing on his Duntiansuo, flew directly out of Mingyue Residential District, transforming into a streak of light that swiftly exited the Yangzhou City area and arrived in the wilderness. Approximately three hundred kilometers outside Yangzhou City. A figure descended from the sky, his psychic energy spreading out without reservation, causing some foraging monsters on the desolate, dilapidated highway to flee in panic. Luo Feng gazed at a hill a hundred meters away. The shuttle-shaped 'Duntiansuo' instantly disintegrated into 365 extremely thin, curved blades. Countless blades hovered before Luo Feng. "Combine! Mountain-Drilling Cone!" Luo Feng's eyes narrowed. Swish! The 365 blades instantly gathered, merging into a single conical shape! The surface of the cone had spiraling grooves, just like an electric drill used by workers to bore into walls! "I wonder if I'll succeed on the first try." The secret method for controlling the Mountain-Drilling Cone quickly flashed through Luo Feng's mind. "Break!" Luo Feng stared at the distant hill. 12 streams of psychic energy, reaching Luo Feng's limit, immediately activated along the intricate patterns on the Mountain-Drilling Cone. The originally silver-gray Duntiansuo instantly glowed with golden threads. Each golden thread carried a terrifying power, as if it could tear apart heaven and earth. A total of 12 golden threads spread and extended from the base of the Mountain-Drilling Cone towards its tip, with one arriving first. Hiss! The 12 golden threads instantly dispersed, and the Mountain-Drilling Cone reverted to its original silver-gray. "Control failed." Luo Feng shook his head helplessly. "Again." Hiss! The 12 golden threads dispersed once more. ... In terms of mastery, Luo Feng's current limit was controlling 16 throwing knives at maximum power. So, controlling 12 streams of psychic energy to activate the 'Mountain-Drilling Cone' was relatively easy; he could activate all 12 golden threads at once. However, making all 12 threads perfectly reach the tip simultaneously was quite challenging. Fortunately, Luo Feng's amplitude was 16, far exceeding the requirement, making it easier to learn this first layer. If a psychic master's amplitude was 12, just meeting the requirement, it would likely take a very long time to succeed. ... Time passed, minute by minute, as Luo Feng tried again and again. The originally pitch-black sky gradually began to lighten. Winter fog permeated the air, and shadows of monsters appeared in the wilderness and on the dilapidated highway! These monsters, seeing the mysterious figure, especially the circle of monster corpses around him, no longer dared to approach. The sky grew dim, and gradually, the eastern clouds turned red. Finally— The Sun peeked slightly from the east. "Break!" Luo Feng's eyes, sharp as lightning, fixed on the Mountain-Drilling Cone before him. The intricate patterns on the surface of the silver-gray Mountain-Drilling Cone instantly activated 12 golden threads. Like electric snakes, the 12 golden threads instantly extended to the tip of the Mountain-Drilling Cone! They arrived at precisely the same moment, and when the 12 golden threads converged, it was as if heavenly thunder ignited earthly fire. The 12 golden threads instantly intertwined and spun! "Roar~~" The Mountain-Drilling Cone transformed into a rotating golden light, tearing through the air, its speed instantly soaring to an incredible degree. The golden light of the Mountain-Drilling Cone, as if sweeping away all obstacles, directly pierced into the hill! "Rumble~~" Immediately, dust billowed, and the Mountain-Drilling Cone flew back after circling from a distant point. As the dust from the distant hill dissipated, it was revealed that most of the hill had collapsed. Under the powerful drilling and tearing force of the Mountain-Drilling Cone, only half of the hill's original height remained. "Such incredible speed, such powerful penetrating force!" "The speed is at least fifty percent faster than my usual attacks." "According to the secret manual, the first layer of the Mountain-Drilling Cone has about three times the power of my usual attacks! And a Planet-level Second-tier is roughly twice as strong as a Planet-level First-tier! This means, with the Mountain-Drilling Cone, my attack power is stronger than an average 'Planet-level Second-tier'." Luo Feng was incredibly excited. This was the difference between an elite with a background and a martial artist without a master! Almost all martial artists and psychic masters on Earth had no master. They toiled in bitter cultivation, understanding nothing. Even if they obtained psychic weapons, they wouldn't know how to use them. What about Luo Feng? Becoming a member of Yunmo Star immediately granted him the "Secret Basic 312 Forms," greatly increasing Luo Feng's amplitude. He also obtained the "Duntian Secret Art," which significantly boosted his attack power. With these two improvements, an elite at the Ninth-tier Apprentice level could fight beyond his rank against a 'Planet-level Second-tier'! ... This was the advantage of having a master and a background! Luo Feng spent over five hours successfully cultivating the 'Mountain-Drilling Cone's First Layer,' and then about three hours cultivating the 'Heavy Mountain Shield's First Layer.' From then on, Luo Feng wouldn't be far behind even compared to the elite apprentices of some major cosmic powers. "With the Yunmo Star legacy, and once I become a Planet-level First-tier, other council members will pose no threat to me." The rapid increase in his strength made Luo Feng feel a surge of excitement. But— There was also an inexplicable worry: he had only received the introductory legacy of Yunmo Star, yet he had become so strong so quickly! If powerful races and nations from the cosmos truly arrived, would Earth have any means to resist? "I won't think about that for now." Luo Feng immediately stepped onto his Duntiansuo and swiftly returned to Yangzhou City.
