Chapter 225 Concealing Breath Technique, Condensing the Form of Myriad Phenomena, Sacred Image Collapses the Heavens (5K)

As the cold light fell, a destructive force surged through the Sky Python and the Purple Lion, causing their bodies to shatter like porcelain.

"Big brother, second brother!" Blood Tiger cried out, his eyes wide.

"No, don't worry about us, hurry, let's go!" The Sky Python roared at the Blood Tiger with its last bit of strength.

His eyes were filled with anger and resentment, hoping that one day Blood Tiger could avenge them.

"Run!" The purple lion roared one last time, and as soon as it finished speaking, its body shattered into pieces.

The rich aura of blood quickly spread, stimulating the Blood Tiger's nerves and driving him into a state of increasing madness.

But the words of his two older brothers lingered in his mind, stabilizing his remaining rationality. Blood Tiger glared at Su Chen with eyes wide with rage: "I will definitely come back for revenge!"

As soon as he finished speaking, gusts of wind swept around him, and the Blood Tiger's figure disappeared in the wind.

"Where do you think you're going!" Zu Peng shouted as he saw the Blood Tiger disappear, and was about to give chase.

Su Chen quickly stopped him, saying, "Don't chase after them."

Blood Tiger is extremely good at escaping; even in his prime, he couldn't catch him, let alone now.

Upon hearing Su Chen's words, Zu Peng stopped what he was doing. He looked at Su Chen and asked with concern, "Brother Yang, are you alright?"

"I'm in trouble, help me up!" Su Chen said without any hesitation; he was exhausted.

After unleashing over a hundred moves of the Annihilation Draw Sword Technique, his internal energy was completely depleted, and he was now relying entirely on his powerful physique to sustain himself.

"Ah, oh!" Upon hearing this, Zu Peng quickly stepped forward to support Su Chen, his face showing an expression of taking it for granted.

That's more like it; that's the normal reaction after using the power of divine weapons like crazy.

Even so, a faint sense of shock lingered in Zu Peng's heart, refusing to dissipate for a long time.

"Let's find a place to recuperate first," Su Chen suggested.

Zu Peng nodded, as he needed to copy down the Myriad Powers Technique to give to Su Chen.

So he took out a map, looked at it for a while, and said, "There seems to be a cave about ten kilometers ahead. Let's go to the cave."

"it is good!"

After walking a few steps, Su Chen suddenly stopped.

Zu Peng asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"How did these three demons discover us?" Su Chen pondered for a moment before looking at Zu Peng.

“You mean, they left something on us so they could find us?” Zu Peng replied.

"It shouldn't be on us. It could be the Soul-Devouring Spear, or it could be Huang Ming," Su Chen guessed.

“That’s easy.” Zu Peng smiled and took out a booklet from his pocket.

"This is?"

"This is a secret manual left by my grandfather. It's an auxiliary cultivation technique. After practicing it, one's perception of aura will become much more acute, and one can also conceal one's aura to prevent others from seeing through it," Zu Peng explained.

Su Chen took the manual and saw three crooked characters written on it: "Concealing Breath Technique".

“However, this technique is very difficult to cultivate. I have been trying to cultivate it for more than ten years without success,” Zu Peng reminded him.

As they were talking, Zu Peng suddenly sensed that Su Chen's aura had changed, becoming somewhat ethereal.

He stared blankly at Su Chen, then asked in surprise, "You wouldn't...?"

Su Chen did not answer; at this moment, he was activating the simple mode through the panel.

The extremely difficult cultivation technique for Zu Peng did not pose much of an obstacle for Su Chen. After ten breaths, Su Chen mastered the basics of the Breath Concealment Technique. It was precisely because of this that Zu Peng was able to detect the change in Su Chen's aura.

"Yeah, I mastered it by accident." Su Chen replied. After mastering the Breath Concealment Technique, he was indeed much more sensitive to his aura and could also slightly conceal his own aura.

He glanced at Zu Peng and said, "Wait for me for half an hour, and I'll hurry up and finish practicing this technique."

Zu Peng: "...!"

Looking at Su Chen, who was sitting cross-legged and cultivating, Zu Peng's expression became extremely interesting. In just a few minutes, he realized the huge gap between people.

He couldn't master this technique no matter what he tried, but Su Chen mastered it as easily as drinking water.

This is too shocking!
Su Chen was unaware of Zu Peng's current state of mind. As his breathing increased, his understanding of the Breath Concealment Technique deepened.

In less than half an hour, Su Chen cultivated the Concealing Breath Technique to its limit in just a quarter of an hour.

He could clearly feel that his control over his aura was more precise, and he could change the strength he displayed to the outside world at any time.

"How is it? Has someone planted Yuan energy in us?" Zu Peng asked anxiously.

Su Chen shook his head: "It's not on us, it's on the Soul-Devouring Spear."

With a slight bend in his palm, a sharp burst of Yuan energy shot onto the Soul-Devouring Spear, dispelling the demonic aura hidden within it.

The Soul-Devouring Spear was originally a demon weapon, so it was normal for it to retain some demonic energy. The two of them were not familiar with demonic energy, which is why they did not notice it.

"These are the demon cores I found on two demonic creatures." Zu Peng took out two demon cores the size of peanuts and handed them to Su Chen.

"One for each of us," Su Chen said, taking one of the pills.

Zu Peng shook his head: "Take them all. You killed them all, and I didn't help you at all."

As he spoke, he handed the remaining demon core to Su Chen.

The demon core is formed when a primordial demon compresses its demonic power to the extreme. It is the essence of the primordial demon's entire being, with a wide range of uses and is worth a fortune.

After Su Chen accepted the demon core, the two headed to the cave that Zu Peng had mentioned.

While Zu Peng was copying the cultivation technique, Su Chen began to examine the "Myriad Powers Technique" that he had just obtained.

"The Myriad Powers Technique condenses the power of all things, gathers the intent of all things, transforms the appearance of all things, and cultivates all kinds of magical powers—the Myriad Transformations."

This is the very first sentence of the cultivation method, but it is not a note in the method itself, but rather a casual remark by Master Wanhua.

He only cultivated one technique, the Myriad Forces Technique, throughout his life, and his understanding of this technique was far beyond what Su Chen could comprehend at the moment.

Su Chen didn't care and instead focused his attention on the panel.

On the panel, the notes for the "Myriad Powers Technique" section seem out of place with the other techniques.

[Easy Mode: ...Myriad Powers Technique 0 times (Practice the complete Profound Heart Form 100 times)]

"Other techniques have conditions for activating the easy mode, but the Myriad Powers Technique does not. It only requires me to practice the complete Profound Heart Form one hundred times."

The Mysterious Heart Style is the first style of the Mysterious Heart Myriad Wonders Style. To fully practice the Mysterious Heart Style is to practice all 36,000 forms of Yuan Power once.

There are 36,000 kinds each time, and 3.6 million kinds a hundred times.

With so many rehearsals, it might take at least ten days to half a month to complete the drills.

However, what Su Chen cared about was not the number of practice sessions, but the purpose of the panel in allowing him to practice.

"Let's practice it once first." After thinking it over, Su Chen still didn't have many ideas, so he simply sat down and started practicing.

Five days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Zu Peng had already finished copying the cultivation method, but Su Chen had not yet recovered from the practice.

He didn't disturb Su Chen, but sat quietly to the side and watched.

Various forms of elemental energy flashed in Su Chen's hands like fleeting shadows, almost blinding him.

Gradually, Zu Peng became somewhat mesmerized by what he saw.

It wasn't that he was obsessed with Su Chen, but rather with the myriad forms of Yuan Power that Su Chen displayed.

He had never seen anyone use so many forms of Yuan Power, not even his grandfather.

“I have cultivated a full 20,000 different forms of Yuan Power, and my grandfather praised me as an unparalleled genius. Brother Yang has at least 30,000 forms. My grandfather would be extremely surprised if he saw them!” Zu Peng thought of Zu Chong again.

"Finally finished the rehearsal!" Su Chen slowly stopped, a hint of fatigue showing in his eyes.

Five days and five nights of continuous cultivation not only tested his Yuan power, but also put his mind torment.

Fortunately, he persevered in the end.

Compared to the substantial gains, the five days of hard work were nothing.

"No wonder it's rumored that Master Wanhua can use 100,000 kinds of Yuan Power. Once he completes the Wan Shi Gong, let alone 100,000 kinds, even a million kinds are not impossible!" Su Chen exclaimed in amazement.

Before practicing, he thought that the Myriad Forces Technique could at most allow him to comprehend 100,000 kinds of Yuan Force forces. After practicing, he realized that his perspective was too narrow.

The Myriad Powers Technique is undoubtedly an astonishing and extraordinary martial art.

Because it doesn't teach you how to cultivate the power of Yuan energy, but rather how to evolve the power of Yuan energy.

The former is a step-by-step cultivation, with each cultivation method being unique, while the latter takes a different approach, building a solid foundation to evolve into countless variations.

And this so-called foundation is the 36,000 forms of primordial energy.

Metal, wood, water, fire, and earth are the five elements, which are the fundamental attributes that constitute all things in the world.

However, Su Chen discovered that among these 36,000 forms of Yuan Power, in addition to being classified according to the Five Elements, they could also be classified according to Yin and Yang.

According to the Five Elements classification, there are five categories, with 7,200 varieties in each category. According to the Yin-Yang classification, there are two categories, with 18,000 varieties in each category.

The classification method in the Xuanxin style is not a single classification method, but a classification method that combines the two.

It is classified according to Yin-Yang and the Five Elements.

The Five Elements include not only Yang Five Elements, but also Yin Five Elements.

For example, Yang fire and Yin fire.

Some fires radiate heat, while others radiate coldness; the former are yang fires, and the latter are yin fires.

It is precisely through this combination of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements that the Mysterious Heart Style can condense various forms of Yuan Power.

Su Chen had already realized this after he finished cultivating the Yuan Power Form. He could not only condense various Yuan Power Forms related to the sun and moon, but also other Yuan Power Forms, such as steel blades and mountains.

“Master Wanhua has never cultivated the Profound Heart Style, so even if he has mastered the Myriad Powers Technique, he can only comprehend a maximum of one thousand kinds of Yuan Power. I have completed the cultivation of the Profound Heart Style. With this foundation, as long as I complete the cultivation of the Myriad Powers Technique, all the myriad kinds of Yuan Power in the world will be in my hands!”

Su Chen's eyes gleamed with excitement, and a surge of boundless pride welled up within him.

It is no exaggeration to say that once he has mastered the Myriad Powers Technique, he can manifest the power of any object in the world.

"So this is the true wonder of the Myriad Powers Technique!"

He admired the founder of this technique more and more, feeling a sense of awe for a top student from a past life. He wondered what the person was thinking and how they created such an amazing technique.

The Xuanxin Style and the Wanxing Style demonstrate that the two techniques are interconnected, yet not entirely so.

Cultivating together brings boundless power, while cultivating separately can also create beings like the Myriad Transformations Master.

Even Su Chen, after learning how terrifying this technique was, couldn't help but gasp in astonishment at its sheer horror!
After a moment of reflection, Su Chen looked at the panel, his brows furrowing slightly.

Martial Arts: ...Myriad Power Technique (1%)

"One complete rehearsal increases the progress of the Myriad Powers Technique by one percent. In other words, I need to practice it a hundred times before I can successfully master the Myriad Powers Technique?"

Although surprised that the Myriad Power Technique had no levels, Su Chen quickly realized the key.

The Myriad Powers Technique does not mean that it cannot activate the simple mode; rather, it integrates the simple mode into the evolution process. Once the evolution is complete, the cultivation can be completed directly.

"But what's the point of this progress?"

Su Chen felt it would be better to display the number of levels, or divide them into stages such as 'entry level, minor success level, major success level, and perfection level'.

In this way, once he reaches the first level or begins to understand the technique, he can use it in its initial stages.

We're only at one percent progress now, and we can't use any techniques.

"Wait, even though it's only one percent, it's still a preliminary practice of the technique. Let's try it and see if it works."

As soon as the thought arose in Su Chen's mind, he casually used his Yuan Power to condense the shape of a steel blade.

As the most frequently used form of elemental energy, Su Chen noticed the changes the moment it condensed into shape.

"The power of elemental energy!"

Su Chen's expression changed as he sensed the Yuan energy contained within the steel blade. Although weak, it was real.

Unlike the momentum of the Annihilation Draw Sword Technique and the momentum of the Soul Devouring Spear, the momentum of the steel blade is the true momentum of Yuan Power!
"So this is the real application of the progress bar!" Su Chen suddenly realized.

He used to think that the progress displayed on the panel was useless, and that the skill stage and martial arts level were enough.

It now appears that the real purpose of displaying progress is in cultivating the momentum of Yuan Power.

Each point of progress represents a 'point' of Yuan Power. Doesn't that mean that as long as he fills in the progress, he can comprehend all the Yuan Power?
Thinking of this, Su Chen's heart pounded.

It wasn't that he couldn't resist the temptation, but rather that the other party offered him far too much!
"You're awake?" Zu Peng's voice rang out.

Su Chen snapped out of his daze, calmed his excitement, and nodded, "Mm."

"This is the Myriad Powers Technique."

Zu Peng handed the copied Ten Thousand Powers Technique to Su Chen. Su Chen took it, glanced at it briefly, and then put it into his bag.

He looked at Zu Peng and noticed the Venerable Wan Hua behind Zu Peng, and his gaze sharpened.

"I'm preparing to leave," Zu Peng said after a moment's thought.

Su Chen nodded: "Okay, are you planning to go to the Corpse Puppet Sect?"

"Hmm." As the time for parting approached, Zu Peng felt a little reluctant, but he still had to avenge his grandfather and had to leave.

"Brother Yang, are you still planning to stay in Qingyang City?" Zu Peng asked.

"I have something else to do."

Now that he was in Qingyang City, Su Chen decided to take the opportunity to find a way to upgrade the Heaven-Slaying Blade.

A semi-divine weapon is still somewhat lacking. If he could upgrade it to a mid-level divine weapon, he would be able to use the true power of a divine weapon.

When combined with the Annihilation Sword Drawing Technique, his strength will surely increase several times over.

"By the way, Brother Yang, you've already mastered the Concealing Breath Technique. After we part ways this time, you must disguise yourself to avoid being discovered. The Concealing Breath Technique is not only useful for people, but also for divine weapons," Zu Peng reminded him.

"it is good!"

Afterwards, the two packed their things.

Suddenly.

The two paused, exchanged a glance, and Zu Peng laughed, "It seems someone doesn't want us to part ways."

Outside the cave, a subtle presence was approaching, clearly indicating that it had already discovered the two.

“Brother Yang, you don’t need to take action this time, I’ll handle it,” Zu Peng said with a smile, stopping Su Chen who was about to leave.

With his grandfather by his side, he is no longer the same person he used to be.

"Grandpa, come with me." Zu Peng murmured, leading Master Wanhua out of the cave.

Yuan Qing frowned and stared at Zu Peng. When he saw the Soul-Devouring Spear in Wan Hua Shangren's hand, his pupils contracted.

"I came here just to give it a try, but I didn't expect to have such an unexpected gain!" Yuan Qing chuckled.

After searching for many days, he still couldn't find any trace of the man in black. He only came to check this hidden cave by chance.

"Are you also thinking of saying, 'Hand over the Soul-Devouring Spear, and I'll spare your lives'?" Zu Peng asked with a half-smile.

Yuan Qing was taken aback upon hearing this, realizing the mockery in Zu Peng's voice.

His smile vanished, and he said calmly, "No, I will kill you all directly and then take the Soul-Devouring Spear."

"Good!" Zu Peng clapped his hands lightly in agreement. "That way, I won't have any psychological burden when I kill you."

Before Yuan Qing could speak, Wan Hua Shangren, standing behind Zu Peng, brandished a gun in one hand and transformed into a blur as he charged toward Yuan Qing.

Upon seeing this, Yuan Qing's eyes darkened. Knowing the power of Wan Hua Shangren, he dared not be careless and thus immediately launched a killing move.

"The Holy Elephant's Heaven-Shattering Power!"

A colossal elephant, as large as a mountain, rapidly took shape atop its head. With a single roar, it unleashed a terrifying power akin to the thunderous roar of ten thousand thunderbolts.

"kill!"

Faced with Yuan Qing's imposing presence, Wan Hua Shangren remained unmoved. He clenched his fist, and the Soul-Devouring Spear appeared in his hand. The spear moved like a dragon, striking out with numerous spear shadows.

A divine weapon-like aura, capable of devouring souls and seizing spirits, suddenly spread from the shadow of the spear, transforming into an invisible spear that pierced the sky.

boom!
The Sacred Elephant Collapses against the Soul Devouring and Spirit-Seizing Force.

Two completely different forces collided at the critical moment, instantly erupting with a thunderous roar.

"what?!"

Yuan Qing screamed, her eyes filled with disbelief.

The sacred image he had conjured up quickly disintegrated under the spear thrust of the Myriad Transformations Master.

In the midst of the collapse, he finally discovered that this seemingly ordinary spear thrust, besides containing the power of a divine weapon, also contained the power of ten different elemental forces.

Moreover, each one is in no way inferior to his.

puff!
The aura of the sacred image was shattered and disintegrated. Yuan Qing could no longer hold back and spat out a mouthful of blood, his body flying backward like a kite.

The enormous gap revealed a look of shock in his indifferent eyes.

If the Wan Hua Shangren in the hands of the man in black only made him feel troubled, then the Wan Hua Shangren in the hands of this person made him terrified.

"No, I am no match for this person. Notify Senior Brother Ning Feng immediately!"

He was unwilling to let the Soul-Devouring Spear fall into this person's hands. Even if Ning Feng got the Soul-Devouring Spear, it would be better than it falling into Zu Peng's hands.

Ning Feng was, after all, a fellow disciple. After obtaining the Soul-Devouring Spear, there was still room for maneuver. He also had a way to get the Soul-Devouring Spear from Ning Feng.

"kill him!"

Zu Peng noticed Yuan Qing's subtle movements, his cold eyes like knives, and gave an order.

Upon hearing the order, Master Wanhua thrust out his spear once more. This thrust was equally fierce and carried an overwhelming killing intent as it struck at the pale-faced Yuan Qing.
