Chapter 91 Peak of the Hollow Realm_1

Translator: 549690339

After his breakthrough, Han Li carefully discerned the changes within himself.

He discovered that the power of his Divine Spirit had grown more than tenfold compared to the peak of the God Refining Realm, his Spiritual Sense now covered an area of forty thousand li in radius, and his five senses had also increased more than ten times.

It should be known that he was only at Level One of the Hollow Void Realm, yet he possessed a Divine Spirit and Spiritual Sense comparable to the mid-stage of the same realm, which multiplied his strength many times over.

Han Li felt that this must be related to the embryonic form of the strongest Sword Intent that he had cultivated. Normally, a genius at the peak of the God Refining Realm breaking through to the Hollow Void Realm wouldn’t experience even half the growth in strength that he did.

This ultimate martial path, which Han Li called the Omnipotent Martial Path, embraced all martial paths, integrating them into his own and ultimately achieving the strongest martial way.

At present, his Omnipotent Martial Path was only in its embryonic form, touching upon aspects such as Sword Intent, Fist Intent, Palm Intent, Arrow Intent, Defensive Intent, Finger Intent, Speed Intent, Space Intent, and many others.

In the future, he would need to continuously perfect the embryonic form of his martial intent, expanding it to include more martial intents such as the Five Elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, yin and yang, life and death, reincarnation, creation, time and space, destiny, and so on.

As he kept integrating other martial intents, one after another, powerful and supreme martial intents, only then could he walk the path of the Omnipotent Martial Way and achieve the ultimate martial path.

Because his embryonic martial intent was so powerful, whenever he used it, any martial arts technique he executed would receive a significant boost, greatly enhancing its might.

For example, the Earth-Level Extreme Martial Arts technique Step Booster Technique, when perfected, allowed one to traverse a thousand li in a single step and was comparable to the speed of a normal cultivator in the Myriad Phenomena Realm. With the boost from the Omnipotent Martial Path, the speed would increase fivefold, comparable to the peak speed of the Myriad Phenomena Realm.

One step of five thousand li, this kind of speed was usually achieved only after perfecting an Earth-Level Lower Rank footwork technique. Such is the power of the Omnipotent Martial Path, which enhances martial techniques by one rank after its boost.

It could be said that with the embryonic form of the Omnipotent Martial Path’s true intent, he had laid the foundation for a remarkable rise, and his future was destined to be extraordinary.

Having just reached the Hollow Void Realm, his strength was already formidable. Once he employed the embryonic form of the Omnipotent Martial Path’s true intent, his power would surge, enough to rival a Grandmaster in the Fourth Heaven of the Hollow Void Realm.

Keep in mind, this is just the embryonic form of the Omnipotent Martial Path’s true intent.

The martial journey starting from the Hollow Void Realm is a process of simplifying complexity; breaking through to the Hollow Void Realm requires the condensation of a certain martial intent, and breaking through to the Myriad Phenomena Realm requires the perfection of a martial intent.

To ascend to the True Martial Realm, one must turn martial intent into a Martial True Pill… Progressing through the higher realms of cultivation and commanding a particular martial path.

As Han Li’s Omnipotent Martial Path gradually reached perfection and higher levels, the more it would enhance his capabilities.

“Huh~”

Han Li exhaled, his eyes gleaming with anticipation for the future.

Having condensed the embryonic form of the Omnipotent Martial Path’s true intent and ascended to the Hollow Void Realm, Han Li didn’t emerge from seclusion. He had amassed a considerable amount of cultivation, which he planned to use to elevate his realm in one go.

Originally, he had accumulated 424 years of cultivation; ascending to the Hollow Void Realm had consumed 200 years, leaving 224 years of cultivation remaining.

As his master, Gongsun Yun, said, once a cultivator reaches the Hollow Void Realm, the speed of cultivation slows down considerably because it requires great effort to perfect the embryonic form of the martial intent.

Generally speaking, it takes a cultivator with fifth-grade talent ten years to break from Level One to Level Two, and the time required increases the higher one goes. To cultivate to the peak of the Hollow Void Realm would take at least 200 years.

This is not fixed, as the speed of cultivation varies with talent—the better the talent, the faster the cultivation; the worse the talent, the slower the cultivation.

This is also influenced by opportunities; once a cultivator encounters a certain opportunity, their cultivation might soar through several heavens in a short time.

“Thrilling!”

A smile spread across Han Li’s face as he now had 224 years of cultivation left unclaimed, and advancing to the peak of the Hollow Void Realm in one effort should pose no problem.

Intent on his goal, Han Li claimed a large amount of cultivation, and his aura soared instantaneously as his cultivation level climbed steadily.

“`

Hollow Void Realm Level Two!

Hollow Void Realm Level Five!

Hollow Void Realm Level Nine!

When Han Li’s cultivation reached the peak of the Ninth Level of the Hollow Void Realm, the wildly soaring realm finally came to a halt, unable to advance any further.

“It actually took 212 years of cultivation.”

After solidifying his cultivation, Han Li checked and furrowed his brows slightly, but soon they relaxed again.

This was probably because his aptitude had just reached the fifth rank, which was quite poor among those of the fifth rank, so it required more cultivation.

Han Li didn’t care, as he had reached the peak of the Hollow Void Realm anyway, and still had 12 years of cultivation left, which he decided to continue saving.

Closing the system panel, Han Li then checked on how his Omni-Martial True Intent prototype was coming along.

From breaking through from Level One of the Hollow Void Realm to Level Nine in just a short ten breaths’ time, Han Li had a complete 212 years of cultivation experience in his mind.

Throughout those two hundred years, Han Li continuously pondered the mysteries of the laws, comprehended the natural world, and gained various insights into cultivation, constantly perfecting the prototype of his Omni-Martial True Intent until it reached a bottleneck.

To Han Li’s astonishment, his prototype of the Omni-Martial True Intent was far from complete; if it had to be quantified into a level, the progress was only at 9.9%.

With a guess in his heart and after further inquiry with the system, Han Li finally confirmed that this was because his Omni-Martial path was too powerful.

Based on the strength of the martial path being cultivated, there were also levels: ordinary, powerful, top-notch, supreme, and ultimate.

Cultivators with the same aptitude but who comprehend an ordinary martial path cultivate faster, but their strength is relatively weaker.

The stronger the martial path comprehended, the more time it takes to perfect, but the stronger the resulting power.

His Omni-Martial path was of the ultimate level, that is, the strongest martial path; more than two hundred years of cultivation would be enough to near-perfect an ordinary or even powerful martial path, but it was still far from enough for the Omni-Martial path.

Although it would take more time, the stronger the martial path, the greater the advantage; not only is one’s strength in the same realm much stronger, but there are also far fewer restrictions when breaking through.

Ordinary and powerful martial paths require a perfection degree of 100% to break through to the Myriad Phenomena Realm, but Han Li’s Omni-Martial path needs to be only 10% perfected to ascend to the Myriad Phenomena Realm.

That is to say, his Omni-Martial True Intent prototype at merely 10% could match up to others’ 100% perfected Martial True Intents.

Pulling his thoughts back, Han Li once again contemplated the current might of his Omni-Martial True Intent prototype, which was much more powerful than when it first congealed, and it significantly enhanced his strength as well.

Originally, using the Omni-Martial True Intent prototype would increase his strength by five times, but now it had increased to eight times, boosting his combat ability by a great margin.

Generally speaking, Gurus in the Hollow Void Realm cultivate at least Earth Rank Practice Methods, Earth Level Martial Arts, and own Earth Rank Artifacts, and the stronger the Guru, the stronger their Practice Methods, Martial Arts, and Magical Treasures.

A Guru who can cultivate to the peak of the Hollow Void Realm has Magical Treasures and Practice Methods of at least the Top Grade of Earth Rank, possesses many Earth Level Martial Arts, including several that are greatly accomplished of the Top Grade of Earth Rank, and might even have Supreme Grade Earth Level Martial Arts.

An even more powerful Guru in the Hollow Void Realm would have Supreme Grade Earth Rank Magical Treasures, cultivate Heaven Rank Cultivation Techniques, master many greatly accomplished Supreme Grade Earth Level Martial Arts, and perhaps cultivate Heaven Rank Martial Arts, such a Guru would already have the combat ability of the Myriad Phenomena Realm.

Now that Han Li’s cultivation had risen to the peak of the Hollow Void Realm, he also possessed a Supreme Grade Earth Rank Zhenjun Sword, but the grade of the Martial Arts he mastered could not keep up, which limited his strength.

The Supreme Grade Earth Rank Xuantian Punch and Top Grade Earth Rank God Slaying Sword Art were both at the minor accomplishment stage, the Lower Rank Earth-Level Unbreakable Body Divine Technique and Dragon Suppressing Palm were both at the complete level, along with Profound Rank Martial Arts like the Step Booster Technique and Killing Sword Scripture.

With the core of his Omni-Martial True Intent prototype, these Martial Arts had their grades permanently increased by nearly two ranks, placing Han Li at the very top in the Hollow Void Realm, with his combat ability nearing the threshold of the Myriad Phenomena Realm.
