Swallowing the Stars: Rebirth of the Star Illusion King

Chapter 179, [Tap Dance]

At this point, the system also wisely issued a task.

【Task:】

[Critical True God: Self-created sixth-order secret technique.]

Xinghuan was originally capable of creating top-tier fifth-order secret techniques, and even two moves of them.

The Celestial Spheres!

The River of Life!

After so much time has passed, having undergone training at the Yuanzhong Hall, gained memories of the Origin Continent, learned sixth-order secret techniques, fought against the illusory figure within Liuzhong Mountain, and dueled with Shen Yuanrong, Xinghuan felt a sudden sense of enlightenment at this moment.

His insights kept surging, and his desire to create his own sixth-order secret technique grew stronger and stronger.

The moment Xing Huan finished speaking, the entire arena fell silent.

Self-created sixth-order secret technique?

Shen Yuanrong was stunned for a moment, then scoffed, "Create a sixth-order secret technique yourself? Before you fainted, you even struggled to create a fifth-order secret technique, and now you're telling me you created a sixth-order one? Shen Yuanyu, you must be confused!"

The students watching the match were also discussing it animatedly.

"Create your own sixth-tier secret technique? That's the threshold for advancing to True God through the Law path!"

"Are you kidding me? How long has she been unconscious?"

"That's right, learning secret techniques and creating your own secret techniques are two completely different things."

The gray-robed instructor narrowed his eyes slightly. He noticed that the aura of law around Xing Huan was pulsating in an extremely regular way—this was not a sign of learning secret techniques, but rather a fluctuation that would occur when laws resonate during the creation of secret techniques.

"Interesting—" the gray-robed instructor muttered to himself, "Could she really be going to—"

Yu Huqi stood high in the sky, a hint of amused interest flashing in her pink eyes.

As a Void True God who achieved her status through the path of laws, she had seen countless Law Lords. A Law Lord who could create a sixth-order secret technique at the Law Lord stage could be considered a genius.

"Hmm, not bad, as expected of a member of the Shen Yuan family."

At this moment, she sensed the laws gathering around Xinghuan, intertwining and merging in a subtle way.

The rules continue to rise.

On the fighting stage, Xinghuan closed his eyes.

Countless images flashed through my mind.

In the secluded cultivation chamber of Liuzhong Mountain, the trajectory of each thrust of the spear.

In the secret technique "Water and Sky in One Color", the law of water is integrated with the other four laws at every point.

Every battle against the virtual object, every angle, force, and rhythm of that dark figure's counterattack.

besides----

Even earlier, in the primordial universe, during training at the Yuanzhong Palace, in a world without the suppression of the laws of the Origin Continent and where the understanding of laws was unclear, he independently discovered two secret techniques: the Zhou Tian Xing Qiong (Circle of Heaven Stars) and the River of Life.

Those countless fragments of secret techniques now resembled the most primitive puzzle pieces, while the exquisite laws of "Water and Sky in One Color" also broke free, forming Star Fantasy's own unique laws and creating a wondrous resonance.

Not sophisticated enough, but real enough. Not perfect enough, but true to oneself.

Xinghuan opened her eyes.

The spear was raised.

On the gun, the azure light is no longer the soft and inclusive blue of "Water and Sky in One Color", but a deep blue that seems to contain the entire starry sky.

Shen Yuanrong's expression changed as she instinctively sensed the terrifying power contained within.

Without further hesitation, she pushed the dual secret technique of burning divine power to its limit. The dark blue light behind the puppet materialized, and the power of wind and thunder surged on the longsword, emitting a buzzing vibration.

"Stop playing tricks!" Shen Yuanrong shouted, her figure transforming into a streak of blue-purple lightning. One hundred and eight sword shadows were unleashed once more, each one more solid and sharper than before.

Fifth-tier top-level secret technique, Wind and Thunder Slash - Hundred-Crack Slash!

Xinghuan looked at the sky full of sword shadows, but his heart was unusually calm.

The spear slowly thrust out.

This shot was very slow.

It was so slow that every Lord of Law present seemed to be able to see the trajectory of the spear tip.

Strangely, even though the trajectory was clearly visible, no master of the laws could explain what law was contained within that shot.

Only the true God knows.

The True God student pondered and smiled.

"The Law of Water, the Law of Wood, the Law of Wind, the Law of Time, the Law of Space...tsk tsk, this junior does have..."

interest."

The five laws intertwine at the tip of the gun, but not in the way of "merging into one" like in "Water and Sky in One Color," but rather in a sublimation!

The ultimate sublimation!

The laws are constantly rotating among themselves.

The five laws appear in a strange, cyclical order, each taking the lead when it appears, only to relinquish dominance to the next law in the next instant. After water comes wood, after wood comes wind, after wind comes time, after time comes space, and then space returns to water.

A perfect closed loop.

The moment Shen Yuanrong's first sword shadow touched the tip of the spear, the wind and thunder power within that sword shadow was softened by the law of water, absorbed by the law of wood, assimilated by the law of wind, slowed down by the law of time, and finally transferred by the law of space.

One, two, three —

All 108 sword shadows missed their mark.

No, it wasn't a disappointment.

It was all neutralized by the swirling spear intent, like 108 pebbles thrown into a never-ending whirlpool, not even a splash...

Not a single drop splashed.

"This—how is this possible?!" Shen Yuanrong's pupils dilated in shock.

She felt that all the power of her sword strike was drawn into a certain cycle by the spear intent—not devoured, not neutralized, but "borrowed".

She even felt her sword intent being carried by that spear intent, circling through the five laws, and then—

..

Then it bounced back towards herself!

Shen Yuanrong's expression changed drastically. She tried to pull away, but it was too late.

The force of the recoil, carrying the residual power of her own Wind and Thunder Slash, combined with the superposition of the five laws rotating within the Star Illusion Spear Intent, transformed into a pure shockwave that slammed head-on into her puppet.

boom!!!

The defensive light membrane of the standard mechanical treasure shattered instantly under this attack.

Shen Yuanrong and her puppet were blasted away, tumbling dozens of times in the air before crashing heavily onto the edge of the fighting arena.

Energy bar — zero.

The entire arena was completely silent.

The way everyone looked at Xinghuan changed.

The gray-robed True God instructor smiled and said, "This—this is not a secret technique learned from others. This is something I created myself. A self-created sixth-tier secret technique."

He lived for decades, taught countless students in the intermediate department, and saw many geniuses who created their own sixth-order secret techniques.

But which of those genius-created sixth-order secret techniques wasn't refined and polished through countless trials and errors? Which one wasn't created through numerous failures and revisions?

This junior high school student is progressing quite quickly.

She created her own technique directly during the battle, in the duel, and under the watchful eyes of everyone.

It was as if this secret technique had always existed in her heart, only now revealing itself.

Yu Huqi stood high in the sky, her fluffy ears slightly perked up, and a strange playfulness flashed in her pink eyes.

She paused, a meaningful smile curving her lips.

"It seems that the intermediate division is about to produce an extraordinary figure."

On the fighting platform, Xinghuan stood with his spear sheathed.

The system's voice also sounded at this moment.

【Task:】

[Critical True God: Self-created sixth-order secret technique.]

[Task completed.]

[Receive the following random rewards:]

[Tap Dance: Each attack increases your attack power and speed by 10% for 10 minutes, stacking infinitely.]

【最终时刻：获得额外的1000%攻击、1000%灵魂攻击、1000%灵魂意志、1000%防御能力、1000%灵魂防御、1000%速度、1000%吸血能力。持续1小时，冷却时间23小时。】

[Orbital Laser: After a 1-minute delay, deals true damage equal to 25% of the caster's maximum health within a 10000 radius to a specific area around the caster's divine body.]

Xinghuan smiled.

What the heck is "orbit laser" in the groove?

Look at tap dancing and the final moment, how powerful and amazing they are.

Is this all you've got for your "orbital laser"?

Too weak————

In short, daily insults [orbital laser].

After a moment's thought, Xinghuan was somewhat conflicted.

I really want to do tap dance.

After all, this is an unlimited accumulation.

[Final Form] The stat boosts are incredibly powerful; this is a stat monster!

【Orbital Laser】Despite its flaws, it is still true damage equal to 25% of maximum health.

Which one should I choose?

Sigh, the rewards are too good, I don't know what to choose.

They're all suffering from decision paralysis.

If this were any other time, one excellent reward would be paired with two average rewards.

If I could, I'd want them all!

Unfortunately, it's not advisable.

Otherwise, it will be a decisive blow!

After a moment's thought, Xinghuan finally chose [Tap Dance].

Nothing more than three words that explain everything.

No upper limit.

While I'm also reluctant to give up the other two rewards, their maximum potential is readily apparent.

[Final Form] Grants the user an explosive burst of power.

The combination of [Orbital Laser] with [Clown Academy], [Dive Bombardment], and [Self-Destruction] will cause terrifying real damage.

But right.

65% true damage is not much different from 90% true damage.

Anyway, it won't kill in one go, but it can be killed in two.

It's meaningless.

Okay, after thinking about it for a long time, I still think unlimited is just too appealing.

On one side are the foreseeable scenes, and on the other side are the unimaginable scenes.

If we're going to seek thrills, let's go all the way!

A scene that can be seen at a glance is nothing compared to the unimaginable beauty of a scene.

Choose [Tap Dance: Each attack increases your attack power and speed by 10% for 10 minutes, and can be stacked infinitely].

]

This immediately put Xinghuan in a great mood.

Xinghuan looked at Shen Yuanrong, who was struggling to get up in the distance, and asked with a gentle smile, "Shall we continue?"

Shen Yuanrong's puppet energy bar was empty, so she had already retreated.

Shen Yuanrong bit her lip, her golden eyes filled with resentment, shock, and a trace of—an inexplicable emotion she herself was unaware of.

"You—" Shen Yuanrong's voice was hoarse, tinged with a sob, as she asked, "What's the name of this move you used?"

Xinghuan was stunned for a moment.

What's your name?

I really hadn't thought of that.

Compared to creating a sixth-order secret technique, it was a natural process.

Xinghuan looked down at the spear in her hand. The azure light on the spear was slowly dissipating, and the lingering aura of the laws seemed to still flow in the air.

Water, wood, wind, time, space. A cycle of endless renewal.

Xinghuan looked up and smiled slightly: "As for the name, let's call it 'Prelude to Water Melody'."

"Prelude to Water Melody?"

Shen Yuanrong didn't quite understand what the meaning was, but since it was said by the other party, it must have some deeper meaning.

Shen Yuanrong silently repeated the name, remained silent for a moment, then turned and walked off the fighting platform.

Her back looked somewhat lonely, but her steps were steady.

She lost this battle.

They lost completely.

They lost convincingly.

After all, he was at the second level of burning divine power, while the other party was only at the first level!

Even so, I still lost!

Is this the power of laws?

Self-created sixth-tier top-level secret technique vs. learned fifth-tier top-level secret technique.

Originally, it was 80% of the top-tier ninth-order combat power vs. 60% of the top-tier ninth-order combat power.

The final result was 80% of the top-tier ninth-level combat power vs. 100% of the top-tier ninth-level combat power.

The students who had been watching gradually dispersed, but the discussions grew louder and louder.

"A self-created sixth-tier secret technique—Shen Yuanyu is truly about to take off this time."

What exactly happened to her during the time she was in a coma?

"I don't know, but one thing is for sure—the intermediate level is going to have some fun."

The gray-robed True God instructor walked up to Xing Huan, looked her up and down, and nodded: "Not bad. Creating a sixth-order secret technique means that, in terms of the path of laws, you already possess the core conditions for advancing to True God."

However, the gray-robed true god instructor also knew that the other party was definitely going to take the path of divine power.

Sigh, scions of prominent families are truly extraordinary.

A truly large family.

Although he was a descendant of the Eternal True God family, countless Eternal True Gods had gathered in Chenyuan City.

If not ten thousand, then at least a thousand.

For a small family like ours, without talent, there's no way to pursue the path of divine power.

Forget about those things. It's already good enough that I can become a true god through the path of laws.

In this world, the vast majority of true gods are those who attain enlightenment through bloodline.

Those who are considered true gods are met with disdain by the true god students.

Although legend has it that the bloodline path leads to becoming a true god, and eventually a powerful being, becoming a Void True God, an Eternal True God, or a Chaos Ruler—so what? One is only a Chaos Ruler for life.

The high and mighty god-kings all advanced in rank through the laws of nature.

The thought of the majestic and awe-inspiring god-kings filled the gray-robed true god instructor with a sense of pride—even though he was only a minor true god at the moment.

Xinghuan smiled and nodded: "Thank you, Senior Brother."

The gray-robed True God instructor waved his hand, turned and left, muttering to himself, seemingly saying nothing.

Yu Huqi fell from the sky and landed in front of Xing Huan.

Up close, this Void God teacher is even more dazzling. His long golden hair gleams in the sunlight, his white armor outlines his perfect figure, and his pink eyes seem to see right through people's hearts.

"Shen Yuanyu," Yu Huqi spoke, her voice clear and cold, no longer languid, but filled with a hint of tenderness, saying, "I saw your 'Water Melody Song.' It was quite good."

Xinghuan laughed and said, "Not at all, just some trivial skills."

Yu Huqi smiled gently: "You're not bad, much better than that Shen Yuanrong. After all these years, you haven't even created your own top-tier fifth-order secret technique, instead you've been learning other people's top-tier fifth-order secret techniques—sigh."
