Swallowing the Stars: Primordial Heavenly Dragon

Chapter 40 'Battle Spirit'

"However, without systematic training, you cannot turn all these opportunities into strength. You should spend the rest of your time in Chaos City to comprehend them." The giant axe then pointed out Yan Yong's current shortcomings.

"Your clone will remain in this Chaos Ruins. When you enter the virtual universe, either I or your Chaos Senior Brother will guide you on secret techniques and combat methods. Your main body should continue to comprehend the Giant Axe Chaos Stele and the Origin Laws." The Giant Axe Founder signaled Yan Yong to release the Heavenly Dragon clone.

The Heavenly Dragon clone immediately flew out of the World Ring in Yan Yong's hand. For more than 3000 years, he had been staying in the World Ring, and now he could finally see the light of day again.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, teacher," Tianlong Yan Yong said to the founder of the giant axe, who was perched to the side.

"Hmm." The Chaos City Lord nodded and then continued, "You received the inheritance of that Flowing Cloud Palace Master before, so you should have some treasures you don't need, right?"

"There is an offensive treasure that I can't use." Yan Yong flipped his hand and summoned the Turquoise Hammer, a high-level offensive treasure, and handed it to the Chaos City Lord. As for the other treasures, even if they can't be used now, there will be opportunities to use them later. Moreover, he can give them to his clones after he obtains other clones.

"The quality of the treasure is acceptable. I will open a channel for you to exchange for treasures later. You can contribute this treasure to your clan to obtain corresponding treasure points, and then exchange it for the treasures you need." The Chaos City Lord took the turquoise hammer, helped Yan Yong appraise it, and then handed it back to him.

"I saw you choose my Giant Axe Chaos Stele before, was there a reason? It seems you have a special feeling for my Giant Axe Chaos Stele, can you tell me?" The Giant Axe was also very curious about what that special fluctuation on the other party was, that it had a special feeling for its Giant Axe Chaos Stele.

The Giant Axe Founder's talent for comprehending the laws was not the strongest among the true gods of the primordial universe; in fact, it could be said that he had no advantage among the true gods. However, he was able to far surpass the other powerful beings of the three reincarnation eras, and even without the supreme treasure to comprehend, he was able to create an eighth-order secret technique on his own, all because of his extreme passion for the axe.

His daily dedication to mastering axe techniques allowed him to forge his own path. In fact, it could be said that with the guidance of the "Way of the Axe," he would have had the opportunity to comprehend the "Way of the Axe."

However, since the primordial universe had no guidance on the 'Tao,' the giant axe could only grope in the air. This groping finally yielded some success, and it can be considered that it has embarked on the path to the 'Tao of the Axe.'

However, due to his extreme love for axes, he also accidentally comprehended a kind of "axe intent" while practicing axe techniques. This wave intent can suppress the opponent's laws and secret techniques in battles at the level of a cosmic venerable, while strengthening his own secret techniques.

While reaching the level of the strongest in the universe no longer offers any advantage in combat, it does provide a slight edge in the creation of axe techniques. This allows the giant axe to successfully create an 8th-tier true secret technique. After obtaining the supreme treasure, the "Divine Axe," it is also possible to comprehend a top-tier 8th-tier secret technique in a short period of time.

"I don't know what it is, but it's hidden in my body. Only the emotional fluctuations brought about by the tension and excitement of the first time I went to the extraterrestrial battlefield can trigger this 'artistic conception'." Yan Yong shrugged. "Later, after strengthening it through my innate secret technique, I was able to actively trigger this 'artistic conception'. And then there was the feeling when I first saw your Chaos Stele, Master Giant Axe."

"Hmm? An interesting ability." Giant Axe lowered his head slightly and stroked his chin, saying, "You can try activating your innate secret technique in front of me to elicit that aura."

Yan Yong nodded, and his aura changed instantly as he activated the Supreme Secret Technique, Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon.

The power of the world gradually transformed into immortal divine power, and at the same time, an aura of supreme power emanated from this immortal divine power.

"War, war, war!"

That ancient battle cry, as powerful as a bell, emanated from Yan Yong's chest, raising his momentum to another level.

"Hmm?" Giant Axe frowned and looked at Yan Yong. Then, a similarly peculiar slight fluctuation came from Giant Axe and finally condensed into a towering giant axe in mid-air. That was Giant Axe's "Axe Intent".

The colossal axe slowly moved forward, colliding with Yan Yong's ancient battle cry.

Rumble~~~

The two waves collided violently, but this was nothing in the Chaos Ruins.

Soon, under the guidance of the founder of the giant axe, the collision finally subsided.

"Indeed, it's something on par with my 'Axe Intent'," the giant axe praised. "'Axe Intent' is a strange fluctuation I comprehended while studying axe techniques, which I named 'Axe Intent.' There shouldn't be anything like this in any of the inheritances of the primordial universe. I comprehended it unintentionally, and it greatly helped me create secret techniques related to 'axe.' Other comprehenders of the Giant Axe Chaos Stele couldn't fathom this fluctuation and could only imitate and create through a process of continuous adaptation. Even this imitation and creation made their secret techniques more refined and their power more formidable."

"And you are born with the ability to control a similar fluctuation; this is your talent, Yan Yong. Do not let it down," the founder of the giant axe exclaimed.

"Please guide me, Master, to master this 'Battle Spirit'." Yan Yong's eyes lit up; indeed, the giant axe possessed a similar ability.

Through the giant axe's explanation, Yan Yong roughly understood what those two fluctuations were. 'Dao' is an existence that transcends laws; it's a concept from 'Snow Eagle Lord.' Dao can only be comprehended by oneself, and if one reaches the eternal level, one becomes a ruler.

The "axe intent" of the giant axe and his own fighting spirit can barely be called the prototype of "the Way", but it is still far from the Way, it only has a direction.

"'Battle Intent'? Not a bad name. It is indeed as powerful and forceful as the ancient war chant." Giant Axe pondered the name.

"In my opinion, your 'battle intent' is also a rudimentary form of fluctuation, but it hasn't taken shape yet. You need to 'forge' it into a complete form in your future cultivation," the founder of the giant axe said with a smile. "Think carefully about what you want to 'forge' it into first."

"A prototype?" Yan Yong pondered. "Currently, my forte is halberd techniques. Should I refine them into a 'halberd essence' similar to Master Giant Axe's?"

The Dao of weapons was originally unspeakable in the primordial universe. It was only by chance that the giant axe comprehended a rudimentary form of it. Therefore, once he understood it and named it, he was able to speak of it.

"Any foundation must eventually be transformed into one's own strength. No matter how much 'Tao' one can comprehend in the future, for now, refining it into the 'Tao of the Halberd' is the most suitable for oneself."

Yan Yong finally made up his mind and looked firmly at the giant axe, saying, "Master Giant Axe, I have decided to refine it into the 'Spirit of the Halberd'."

"The essence of the halberd?" Giant Axe raised an eyebrow. He had seen the other party fight in the virtual universe. His halberd technique was quite crude. He had planned to teach the other party to abandon the halberd and use the axe. After all, his specialty was axe technique, so it would be easy to teach him.

Given the other party's aptitude, switching weapons shouldn't be an obstacle to their cultivation. On the contrary, with their own guidance in cultivating axe techniques, they will reach a very high level in a short period of time.

"Why not consider abandoning the halberd and using an axe instead?" Although it is best to follow the master's wishes when training in weaponry, he still wanted to confirm the reason.

"This halberd is the exclusive treasure of my special life clone. It has the potential to be upgraded in the future. Moreover, I quite like using halberds, so I am unwilling to give it up easily," Yan Yong explained.

"Understood." Giant Axe nodded. He had never seen a treasure that could continuously advance, but the primordial universe was so vast that it contained countless possibilities, and even countless cycles of reincarnation had been destroyed and reborn. There was also the existence of 'ancient civilizations', so it was not surprising that a treasure could 'advance'.

"Since you want to cultivate the way of the halberd, then you need to hone your halberd techniques properly." Giant Axe sent his virtual universe number to Yan Yong. "I have specially set up opponents for your halberd technique cultivation in the virtual universe. They can continuously upgrade and become stronger according to your cultivation progress."

"When you defeat 500 opponents, your halberd technique will be considered qualified at the World Lord level. When you defeat 1000 opponents, it will be considered qualified at the 'Invincible King' level. When you defeat 1500 opponents, your halberd technique will be considered perfected, and you can start trying to transform your 'battle intent' into 'halberd intent.' At that time, you can freely exert this power."

"However, your innate secret technique is quite unique, allowing you to control this power as if divinely inspired. Keep up the good work," Giant Axe patted Yan Yong on the shoulder encouragingly.
