High Martial Arts Era

Chapter 759 Tenth-Order Quasi-Saint! Ultimate Technique: "Burning Heart"

Li Yuan followed Cang Er into a mysterious bronze door in the middle area of ​​the Immortal Temple. As the space shifted, a starry sky appeared beneath their feet.

In the distance, countless stars twinkled, while in front of Li Yuan stood a massive sphere of light, approximately ten thousand kilometers in diameter, its radiance emitting a hazy purple glow that illuminated all directions, instilling in Li Yuan a sense of awe.

but.

At this moment, Cang Er was a million miles tall, and Li Yuan was also a towering figure of ten thousand miles, so the ball of light did not appear large, but its aura was vast.

"What is this?" Li Yuan asked curiously.

“This is an external manifestation of the Immortal Mirror.” Cang Er smiled and said, “The Immortal Mirror is the number one treasure of our Immortal Temple. It is a treasure left behind by the creator of the Immortal World. The core of the entire Immortal World’s operation is the Immortal Mirror.”

"The Immortal Heavenly Mirror?" Li Yuan's heart stirred.

When I first entered the Immortal World, I obtained the 'Five-Star Immortal Token,' which was decided by the Immortal Heavenly Mirror. However, the Immortal Heavenly Mirror in that palace was somewhat different in appearance from the sphere of light before me.

According to Li Yuan's conjecture, this so-called Immortal Heavenly Mirror should be similar to a kind of fundamental operating rule.

“Quasi-Saint of Heart Source, as instructed by the Divine Lord, you will receive the first half of a Quasi-Saint's ultimate technique from the Void Realm lineage,” Cang Er said. “Place your hand on the Immortal Heavenly Mirror, and you will be able to search for all Quasi-Saint's ultimate techniques that meet the requirements, and choose one to inherit.”

"Understood." Li Yuan nodded.

call!
Li Yuan stretched out his palm and landed on the ball of light. The ball of light flowed like water, instantly immersing his palm in it, and then a massive amount of information rushed into his mind.

"The 'Demon Cliff Song' was created by the 'Demon Cliff Emperor'. It is the most powerful martial art of the Void Realm lineage, originating from the Dao of Heart and Weapon, the Dao of World, and the Dao of Time and Space. Based on these three Daos, it forms the incredible 'Demon Cliff Dream Realm'. When cultivated to its extreme, even a tenth-order Quasi-Saint will easily fall into its trap..." Li Yuan sensed the information he received.

Besides the introduction, there is also a brief cultivation method for the 'first chapter' of this sub-saint's ultimate skill, which is extremely profound. Even with Li Yuan's level of cultivation, he can only comprehend a little of it.

But Li Yuan also understood that this was a unique skill of the Void Realm that was biased towards confusing and trapping the enemy.

Its name immediately reminded Li Yuan of the mysterious place 'Demon Cliff Stele' in the Eighth Dark Domain. Could they both originate from the same Quasi-Saint?
But Li Yuan didn't have time to think it through.

Soon, he received information about the second Void Realm Ultimate Technique: "The Thousand Swords Dream Realm was created by 'Thousand Hearts Daoist Lord,' originating from the Dao of Heart and Weapon, the Dao of Destiny, and the Dao of Reincarnation. The mysteries of these three paths are combined to form thousands of 'Heart Sword Universes' within oneself. When attacking, each Dream Universe can transform into a Heart Sword to unleash an attack, destroying the enemy's soul essence with absolute power. Thousand Hearts Daoist Lord has killed a tenth-tier Quasi-Saint with a single thought more than once..."

This is a pure virtual attack technique that aims to directly destroy the enemy's soul essence. Even if it cannot be destroyed, it should at least inflict severe damage.

As long as the enemy's soul essence is severely damaged, the strength the enemy can exert will naturally decline significantly, and the possibility of material annihilation will also increase greatly.

It's incredibly terrifying.

"One person, creating over a thousand Dream Realms? Even if they are all small Dream Realms, it's still unbelievable. How did this Daoist Qianxin do it?" Li Yuan was secretly shocked.

The hallmark of cultivators in the Void Realm is the 'interplay of the real and the unreal'. From then on, the power of many soul attacks will surge, but most of them will only be effective among God-Kings.

The true foundation of cultivators in the Void Realm is the 'Dream Universe Realm'. Only Void Realm cultivators who have opened up the Dream Universe Realm can control the power of the Void Realm far beyond that of normal cultivators. Various soul attacks, illusion invasions, etc., can make countless peak Emperor Realm cultivators and even Sovereigns wary and awe.

"It's too profound; I can't comprehend it at all." Li Yuan shook his head inwardly. If it were the introductory chapter of "The Song of the Demon's Edge," Li Yuan could understand a little bit of it.

The "Thousand Swords Dream Realm" was like a book in the heavens to Li Yuan, which he could not comprehend at all... Perhaps with careful study over a long period of time, he could get a basic understanding of it.

However, it is clear that Li Yuan is currently unable to even begin cultivating.

soon.

The message about the third supreme martial art of the Second Sage, "Dream Realm of Time," has also arrived.

Its creator is called 'Light and Darkness Saint'. It originates from the Way of Mind and Weapon, the Way of Time and Space, the Way of Reincarnation... Overall, it is somewhat similar to "The Song of the Demon's Edge", both of which strive to make the enemy's consciousness sink.

However, "Magic Ballad" emphasizes building a realistic and massive illusion to prevent enemies from waking up, while "Dreamland of Time" builds multiple illusions. Although the power of each illusion is slightly weaker, it can still delay the enemy's awakening time.

There is no distinction between strong and weak; it all depends on the practitioner's own performance.

...The fourth supreme skill of the sage has the simplest name, just two characters: "Burning Heart". Its operation is also completely different from the first three supreme skills.

The first three ultimate techniques can either cause the enemy's consciousness to sink into oblivion or forcibly destroy the enemy's soul essence.

In short, they are all seeking to unleash soul attacks and are not fundamentally different.

"Burning Heart" originates from the Dao of Heart and Weapon, the Dao of World, and the Dao of All Things. It aims to construct an extremely vast and boundless dream world, and then convert a large amount of virtual power into material power at the most violent speed, thereby causing the cultivator's material attack power to surge... This unique skill does not seek to annihilate the enemy's soul origin.

Instead, they use the Dream Realm as a supplementary means to pursue the strongest material attack.

"What a unique sub-saint technique!" Li Yuan was secretly shocked. "The creator of this technique is called 'Sub-Saint of Calamity'?"

This was also a sage whom Li Yuan had never heard of before.

call!
After receiving the information about the four Quasi-Sage techniques, Li Yuan immediately fell into deep thought. Each technique had its unique aspects, and if he were to cultivate and comprehend them, they would greatly assist him in further deducing his own Eternal Dao. However, for now, Li Yuan could only choose one technique.

“I can’t choose ‘Thousand Swords Dream Realm’ or ‘Time Dream Realm’.” Li Yuan ruled out these two first, for a very simple reason.

Both of these unique skills originate from the Eternal Dao, but Li Yuan has only opened up the Heart-Weapon Dao, making cultivation extremely difficult.

With only a few thousand years left before the Abyss Sea Sacrifice begins, Li Yuan naturally had to choose the sub-saintly technique he was most confident he could master, in order to have any hope of helping himself.

"The remaining two great sub-saint techniques, whether it's 'Demon's Song' or 'Burning Heart,' are extremely suitable for me," Li Yuan thought to himself. "The former will allow me to fight without fear of group battles."

"The latter suits me better, after all, what I am best at is always material means, whether it is marksmanship or domain, the essence is material attack."

Thinking about it for a long time.

Li Yuan finally made a decision, and immediately, an even larger and more vast message rushed into the origin of his soul.

"Haha."

"Another junior has chosen the unique skill I created?"

"To receive a sage's promise, you must be a person of exceptional talent." A rather domineering voice rang in Li Yuan's mind: "I hope you will not fail this unique skill, and I also hope that you can surpass the tenth-level quasi-sage and transcend the sea of ​​suffering."

"What I pursue is the ultimate destruction of matter; the soul? The illusory realm? They are merely auxiliary! This is 'Burning Heart'!"

……

After a long time, Li Yuan regained consciousness and finally memorized the first three levels of the ultimate skill "Burning Heart".

However, simply memorizing it does not mean that you have succeeded in cultivation.

One must reconstruct the 'heart imprint' and imprint the Dao patterns within the true realm of the mind in order to unleash this extraordinary skill at crucial moments.

This will take a long time.

"You chose the 'Burning Heart' created by the Devastation Saint?" Commander Cang Er couldn't help but ask, "It seems you're preparing to pursue the strongest material attack."

"Mm." Li Yuan nodded.

Soul attack? He's only at the God King realm after all, and his spiritual realm can't be transformed into the Dream Universe realm in a short time. His foundation isn't strong enough. Even if a Quasi-Saint's ultimate technique is incredibly powerful, how strong can a soul attack be? It probably won't have much of an impact on a peak Emperor realm expert.

But physical attacks are different.

His physical attack had already reached the threshold of the peak of the Emperor Realm. With the addition of the sub-saint's ultimate technique "Burning Heart", the efficiency of his conversion and utilization of the power of the Void Realm would be ten times or even a hundred times greater than before... His physical attack had reached the Dominator level, and there was hope for the future.

“Other cultivators in the Void Realm, even if they reach the Emperor Realm, generally only open up two Eternal Paths. Even if they cultivate the ‘Burning Heart’, their material attack will not improve much.” Li Yuan thought to himself, “But I am different. I have opened up four Eternal Paths. The Heart-Weapon Path is only one of them… Using it as an auxiliary is the best approach.”

One trick is fresh, eat all over the sky.

Li Yuan's cultivation time is too short to be proficient in everything. Only by making his strongest aspect even stronger can he have a better chance of gaining benefits in the Abyss Sea Sacrifice.

“That works too.” Cang Er nodded; he wouldn’t interfere with Li Yuan’s choice.

"Commander Cang'er," Li Yuan hurriedly asked, "Will I have the opportunity to choose other sub-sage techniques in the future?"

Although "Burning Heart" is the most suitable choice, if possible, Li Yuan also hopes to learn "Demon's Song", a unique skill that is also very suitable for him.

"Of course it's possible."

“If you can truly create an immortal lake deep within the Abyss Sacrifice Sea, even learning all four of the Quasi-Saint's unique skills of the Void Realm lineage will be a piece of cake.” Cang Er laughed, “Quasi-Saint's unique skills are precious, but they are ultimately for later generations to learn and comprehend.”

Li Yuan understood.

That's true. If other rare treasures were taken away, it would be a complete loss for the Immortal Temple... But the sub-saint's secret techniques, though seemingly valuable, are ultimately not physical objects. If the Immortal Temple were willing, it could allow a large number of powerful individuals to learn them.

"Are there any other questions?" Cang Er asked.

"There is indeed one more thing."

"The descriptions of several Quasi-Saint techniques all mention the tenth-tier Quasi-Saint," Li Yuan asked curiously. "Does this tenth-tier Quasi-Saint refer to the Emperor Realm?"

"Haha, this is indeed a secret, but you will know it when you become a Supreme Being in the future." Cang Er laughed, "You should know that in the eyes of the various Eternal Relics, all cultivators in your universe, whether they are God Kings, God Emperors, or Emperor-level beings from other cultivation systems, can be classified as 'Quasi-Saints'."
