High-Level Martial Era - Chapter 709

Chapter 709: Chapter 380: Understanding the Third Move
 

Lines of light blossomed around Li Yuan, enveloping him with the Mysteries of Wind and Earth, yet at that moment, these two Laws merged perfectly into one.

Great amounts of light surrounded him, making the aura that Li Yuan emitted vast and unfathomable.

Quiet!

Vast.

Currently, their entire civilization faced unprecedented oppression, the time was too short, the migration plans of various planets had just started, and it was impossible to relocate billions of people, the pressure on Li Yuan’s heart was imaginable.

However, under this mental strain, Li Yuan began to transform while deducing the mysteries of the Boundary Cloud Spear.

Gradually, Li Yuan’s figure became more ethereal, giving off a sense that he was in a different world.

“What? Big Brother?” Liu Bing, standing beside him, was the most shocked; with her high Skill Realm and being the closest, she clearly felt the changes in the aura around Li Yuan, “Spatial fluctuations?”

Liu Bing couldn’t believe it.

But it was right before her eyes; the fluctuations emanating from Li Yuan’s body were precisely the elusive spatial fluctuations she had relentlessly pursued.

“Vice Alliance Hierarch Li Yuan?”

“What’s happening?”

“What kind of aura is this?” Within the range of the Origin Power Array, the demigods who were originally meditating all noticed the astonishing fluctuations of the Power of Heaven and Earth and couldn’t help but look towards Li Yuan.

These demigods couldn’t discern the reason and only felt that Li Yuan’s current aura was incredibly mysterious.

“Um? What’s this?” Fang Hai and the controller of the Array, also Fang Hai, sensed it as well.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Both swiftly traveled dozens of kilometers and arrived near the location of Li Yuan’s aura.

“What is this? Has Li Yuan made a breakthrough?” The golden-haired Lant Semi-Divine said in surprise.

“It’s the same kind of aura as the teacher.” Fang Hai was shocked, “Li Yuan’s presence reminds me a little of the teacher.”

“Similar to Dongfang Ji?” Lant Semi-Divine was even more surprised.

“Li Yuan truly deserves to be recognized by the teacher as the number one genius of the civilization, his comprehension is inconceivably high,” Fang Hai said softly. “His Law Comprehension was already strong, comparable to a Semi-Divine Peak… Now that he has made a breakthrough, his Law Comprehension has probably transformed again. With the Origin Power Array supplementing his Basic Strength, the might he can exert will likely be astonishing.”

“It’s a good thing.” Lant Semi-Divine smiled, “Perhaps, his strength is even greater than mine now.”

Both were quite delighted about Li Yuan’s breakthrough.

“Lant Senior, please conceal Li Yuan’s aura,” Fang Hai said.

“Mm.” Lant Semi-Divine nodded. With a thought, the environment changed, and vague golden lights spontaneously emerged, quickly covering the area where Li Yuan was located.

This prevented other demigods from spying further.

…The golden light only masked the anomalies of Li Yuan’s breakthrough and did not interfere with Li Yuan’s cultivation.

He continued to meditate deeply.

Hush—a formless fluctuation passed through, and beside Liu Bing, a phantom barely an inch in size with a single horn emerged with a faint aura, visible only to Liu Bing.

“Senior Qiu.” Liu Bing looked towards the single-horned phantom.

“He was actually able to induce a trace of spatial fluctuation; he must have truly comprehended a flicker of the Mysteries of Space,” Qiu Bingzun said with surprise in his eyes. “His talent for the Space Law must be unimaginably strong.”

“Space Law talent?” Liu Bing was startled.

“I was curious before, his high talent in the Law of Earth is very normal,” Qiu Bingzun explained. “Later, obtaining the Spirit of the Heavenly Wind from me and advancing further in the comprehension of the Wind Law… also very normal.”

Liu Bing nodded involuntarily, knowing that Li Yuan had cultivated two assistive Supreme Star Techniques.

His quick Law Comprehension was very normal.

“What truly amazed me is his Law Integration,” Qiu Bingzun said. “After ascending to godhood, Law Comprehension becomes difficult, thus many experts try to cultivate different Laws of the Great Dao… But the challenging part is integrating those Laws.”

“Just like you,” Qiu Bingzun looked at Liu Bing.

Liu Bing slightly nodded; from her birth until now, she had never been distracted by any other Great Dao Law, always focusing solely on the Wind Law.

“Li Yuan alone is an oddity.”

“His speed of comprehending Laws is not as fast as yours, but his efficiency in Law Integration, even when compared with the unparalleled prodigies of the Divine Realm, does not pale in comparison,” Qiu Bingzun stated earnestly.

“The Boundary Cloud Spear, among the many Secret Techniques I taught, is not too incredible… but extremely suitable for him.”

“I didn’t quite understand in the past.”

“But now, I somewhat understand,” Qiu Bingzun revealed a smile. “It is not because of the integration of the Laws of Earth and Wind that he touched the Mysteries of Space… but because his talent for Space Law is so high, making it easy for him to integrate different Laws.”

Liu Bing listened breathlessly; she naturally understood what ‘Space Law talent’ meant.

In the Divine Realm,

There are countless creatures, and prodigies efficient in comprehending the Seven Fundamental Laws abound.

But once it involves Space Law, they are rare to see.

And such prodigies are also difficult to discover, generally requiring one to reach the Pseudo-God Level or Divine Levels to be able to make judgments.

Even with Qiu Bingzun’s discernment, he hadn’t noticed it before.

“Sister Gu You, you’re indeed fortunate,” Qiu Bingzun laughed, “You have been keeping watch, why not come out now?”

Whoosh!

Another barely detectable phantom appeared, it was Gu You, her face filled with surprise, she glanced at Qiu Bingzun, “The Direct Disciple I chose for father is indeed extraordinary.”

Time passed.

Nearly an hour later, the fluctuations around Li Yuan finally dispersed, and he appeared normal again, slowly opening his eyes.

Previously, while Li Yuan was comprehending the Mysteries of the Laws of Earth and Wind, he could always vaguely sense the existence of spatial fluctuations.

But only today had he grasped a true understanding of them.

Li Yuan glanced at the Divine Palace panel, and finally, the corresponding records emerged.

“`

[Skill Realm: Law of Earth (Seventh Stage Initial Rank), Wind Law (Seventh Stage Initial Rank), Mysteries of Space (Seventh Stage 2%), Mysteries of Water (Fifth Stage 38%)…]

“`

“Mysteries of Space, logically, should be like the Mysteries of Earth, Wind Mysteries, etc., representing that I’ve just grasped a bit of the heavenly and earthly mysteries, which is just at the entry level,” Li Yuan mused silently. “Being so far from controlling the true intent, could the might have already reached the level of the seventh stage?”

His heart stirred!

Huā lā~ Li Yuan felt his perception ability surge suddenly, faintly touching the deeper mysteries of the celestial and terrestrial operations, the endless space… seemed to have no bound.

Within this endless space, he could sense the responses of the earth, the freedom of the wind, the fervor of fire… Everything originated from this spatial domain.

It was the beginning of everything, where numerous Lwas of the Great Dao operated within the space.

When it perished, it also symbolized the end of everything.

…

“Eh?” Li Yuan noticed wisps of golden light nearby and immediately understood that this was a cover given by Lant Semi-Divine.

“Little Ice, Sister Gu You, elder Qiu.” Li Yuan looked at the people around him.

“Big brother, congratulations,” Liu Bing said excitedly. “You’ve grasped a hint of the mysteries of space.”

“I’ve just entered the doorway,” Li Yuan said with a smile, knowing only through contemplation the vastness of space.

What he had comprehended was nothing but a fringe, and even if he controlled the true intent or crossed the threshold of the Law, it was just like discovering a drop of water in the ocean.

“The space law is a superior law. Its might is extremely strong. Even if you’ve just controlled a hint of its mystery, the might is equivalent to other Great Dao crossing the threshold of the Law, comparable to the seventh stage,” Qiu Bingzun said with a smile. “And entering the doorway is the hardest part. Now that you have entered, subsequent contemplation will naturally become easier.”

“If one day, you can control the true intention of space, that would be impressive. By then, relying solely on the space law, you would be able to dominate among the Pseudo-Gods,” Qiu Bingzun added.

Li Yuan nodded involuntarily.

The seven fundamental laws, as comprehension deepens, ultimately allow one to grasp a hint of the original truth, which can gather ‘Law Will’ within one’s own soul, capable of projecting consciousness thousands of miles away.

This was the eighth stage of skill.

But if it’s the Space Dao, even just condensing ‘true intent’ could achieve this step, which shows the horror of a superior law.

If he truly could cross into the threshold of the Space Law, that would be defying the heavens, even within the Divine Realm, not many Pseudo-Gods could achieve it.

“The Space Dao, comprehension is slow.”

“Divine beings, with strong souls, plus lighting divine fire, the inner and outer heaven and earth intertwined, most can only sense a hint,” Qiu Bingzun looked at Li Yuan. “Actually, for you now, the greatest use of comprehending a bit of space mystery is that it makes the integration of your Earth and Wind Laws more seamless.”

“Space is the root of myriad paths. With space mystery as a medium, your comprehension of ‘Boundary Cloud Spear’ will become easier,” Qiu Bingzun advised. “Try it more often.”

Though he was only left with a remnant soul, he possessed all the memories of his original body, barely a step away from Heavenly Divine in his prime.

In terms of cultivation experience, it was beyond ordinary people’s imagination.

“Thank you, elder, for your guidance,” Li Yuan said with a smile. Having an elder in the family is like having a treasure.

Although Qiu Bingzun rarely gave him pointers, every word was key.

Hū!

Li Yuan stood up, a black long spear appearing in his hand, and he immediately began to wield it.

Huā lā~

The long spear moved like a large python, unpredictable in its whipping, whether pulling, stabbing, or sweeping, each move unpredictable and continuous.

This spear technique contained no Origin Power, yet it perfectly induced the fluctuations of Earth and Wind Laws, its might extraordinary, sufficient to annihilate ordinary Flying Heaven Warriors.

Huā! Huā! Huā!

As time passed, Li Yuan’s spear technique became more elusive and ethereal, gradually changing. The mysteries of the Earth and Wind Laws combined more perfectly, even giving rise to another mysterious fluctuation.

This fluctuation was very weak, yet contained extremely terrifying might.

Suddenly.

“Huā——”

Following his feelings, Li Yuan thrust his spear forward suddenly, the forces of wind, earth, and space rotating around the spear, intertwining with each other, and ultimately perfectly converging at the spear tip.

As if to pierce through the long sky.

“Chī~” A fearsome and sharp force exploded instantaneously, streaking across the sky, suddenly penetrating the distant hazy golden light, unknowing of how many kilometers it shot out.

“‘Boundary Cloud Spear’ third form, I’ve finally begun to comprehend it,” Li Yuan felt joy in his heart.

“This spear technique? Containing not a trace of Origin Power, yet possessing such might, big brother is amazing,” praised Liu Bing, her eyes lighting up.

“Good,” Gu You revealed a smile.

“With a hint of space mystery as a link, combining together, you could directly perform the third form?” Qiu Bingzun also praised. “The mystery of this spear, most of the Semi-Divine Peak probably couldn’t perform.”

Li Yuan couldn’t help but smile.

The first form of ‘Boundary Cloud Spear’ ‘Piercing Cloud,’ roughly equivalent to seventh stage initial rank comprehension.

The second form ‘Splitting Star,’ equivalent to the seventh stage intermediate rank comprehension, was at the Semi-Divine Peak level, which he comprehended during the crisis on Lantie Star.

The third form ‘Ghost Valley,’ then equals the seventh stage high rank comprehension, capable of matching the mystery of a Semi-Divine Limit expert’s moves.

Today, having grasped a hint of spatial mystery, perfectly combining the Earth and Wind Laws comprehension, he finally comprehended this form.

‘Boundary Cloud Spear’ fourth form ‘Shattering the Long Sky,’ fifth form ‘Divine Soldier Intent’… those were Pseudo-God level techniques.

“The fourth and fifth forms are too far away for me.”

“Being able to comprehend the third form now, which significantly increases my spear technique’s might, my strength in direct combat should be comparable to many Semi-Divine Peaks,” Li Yuan thought silently. “With the addition of the Origin Power Array… my combat power will advance further.”

Li Yuan understood his own weakness. In terms of the height of his spear technique realm, probably no one in the civilization could match him.

But the drawback was that his basic strength was too weak, even with many Nine Layer Star Techniques in his body, still far from other Semi-Divine Peak experts.

“I wonder.”

“When will the Myriad Demons Civilization launch their attack?” Li Yuan slightly furrowed his brow, then stopped thinking too much and continued to meditate and deduce his spear techniques silently.
