Chapter 464: 0300 Unmatched Divine Weapon (3k)

"What is a Mountain God? The tiger is the Mountain God! The ’Mountain God Demon-suppression Fist’ Cultivation is divided into five major stages, namely [Mountain Gazing Stance], [Mountain Patrol Stance], [Guarding Mountain Stance], [Demon Suppressing Stance], and [Returning Mountain Stance], representing proficiency, mastery, small success, great success, and perfection, respectively. These five realms encompass a total of ten moves, watch closely!"

Lin Xia moved.

She and the White Tiger behind her merged into one.

Transforming into an awakened mother tiger, she looked down from the mountain peak!

"Mountain Gazing Stance is the initial stance, a preemptive posture. When confronting an opponent, first observe their shape, perceive their spirit, plan, and then move; with a thunderous strike, defeat the enemy in one move!"

"The first move, Ascend and Gaze Afar! Elevate your spirit to its utmost from a Godly perspective and look down upon your enemy! The second move, Mountain Position!"

In front of Lu Chenzhou, the elegant yet fierce White Tiger was truly fascinating as it demonstrated each move powerfully adept, indeed far more skilled than his senior brother...

Deserving of the title Grandmaster! This ’Mountain God Demon-suppression Fist’ indeed contained all essential parts despite its simplicity, with Mountain Gazing Stance for initial observation, Mountain Patrol Stance for probing movements; Guarding Mountain Stance as a defensive posture; Demon Suppressing Stance for explosive attacks;

The final stance, Returning Mountain Stance is... if you can’t win, then run.

After completing the set of fist techniques, Lin Xia’s face slightly flushed, and she smiled:

"How was it, little junior brother?"

Wang Xian curiously looked at Lu Chenzhou.

He had spent half a day learning this fist technique initially just to get started.

Lu Chenzhou said:

"Let me try, senior sister, see how well I perform."

He executed the Mountain Gazing Stance himself, with layers of Mystic Tiger Spirit overlapping.

Above the fist moves, the momentum flowed, fully sharp and forceful.

After finishing once, Wang Xian’s eyes sharpened, and he thought to himself:

"Damn, got it in one go?"

Lin Xia applauded and laughed:

"Well done, truly worthy of my little junior brother! After mastering this fist technique, there are three major killing moves, you’ll understand the deep meanings yourself later."

Receiving praise from his senior sister, Lu Chenzhou felt delighted. With his comprehension in the fifth realm of Fist Theory and the foundation of Heavenly Destiny Mystic Tiger Fist, mastering the Superior True Technique wasn’t very difficult.

Lin Xia patted Lu Chenzhou’s shoulder.

"Little junior brother, do you have confidence to achieve perfection within three years?"

"Yes!"

"Good, that’s the spirit!"

Then, Lin Xia continued to coach Lu Chenzhou for half a day.

Until it was late, she changed her clothes and said:

"I need to go back now, little junior brother, do come to visit often."

"Mhm."

Lin Xia then turned to Wang Xian:

"Master said, before you break through to Grandmaster, go see him."

Wang Xian’s face brightened.

"Alright!"

Lu Chenzhou knew, this was the master’s way of giving a special training session to his senior brother before attempting a breakthrough. Why do all the great masters’ disciples excel? Partly due to their talent, and partly due to the resources of the sect, many things unavailable to external Martial Artists.

He returned home.

"Mom, Dad, I’m back."

Lu Guoping laughed heartily:

"Son, impressive, yet another national champion."

Li Xianghua was more concerned:

"How has your cultivation been going recently?"

"Pretty good, I won’t be home often during this time. If you need anything, just go to Master Ji. It’s war time now, and even schools might not be safe."

"We won’t be going out, just focus on making your mark out there."

During this period, his parents’ spirit was also very good.

Basic Boxing, they practiced it decently.

Once their Qi-Blood was up, they would be free from illnesses and could live up to a hundred years. By then, Lu Chenzhou could find some life-extending medicines, making it possible for them to live for another sixty years.

"By the way, mom and dad, please wear these."

Saying so, he took out two advanced protective suits. With current technology advancements, and given his status, he could afford one for 20 million. Money was not an issue for him; wearing these, even if they encountered the Great Void, they could defend themselves for a moment, long enough for rescue to arrive.

His parents were not pretentious, accepting the gift their son offered.

Back in the practice room.

He practiced the ’Mountain God Demon-suppression Fist’ throughout the night at home, his Mystic Tiger Spirit as if shadowing him, seamlessly blending with the fist moves, until the Martial Arts Tree signaled an update.

[Mountain God Demon-suppression Fist: Beginner (4%)]

"Mastering it in a month, why speak of three years for perfection? Once this fist technique is perfected, I should then be able to learn the number one Tiger Form ’Mountain Lord Inquiry Fist’. Rooted in Demon Suppression Fist, with a solid foundation, learning will be twice as effective with half the effort."

Lu Chenzhou took a bath, lay in bed, and comfortably fell asleep.

This bed, it had been a long time since he last laid in it.

...

Guandong Changbai Mountain, Star River City.

In the outskirts of the city, there was an active volcano with rising red clouds and pervasive high temperatures, within that, a lava lake wider than the Changbai Mountain Heavenly Pool was visible.

This lake is called [Skyfire Pond].

The super high temperature of the Void Realm volcano isn’t comparable to the Human World, hence, around the volcano within a hundreds of miles radius, aside from some Fire Element Mutant Beasts [Red Kirin Deer]raised by Star River City, there are also some cultivators practicing Fire Attribute Martial Arts who come here.

And in the lava lake powerful enough to instantly melt steel, a bare-chested man with muscles sculpted like a statue swam within it, not using any special means, directly exposing his body to the lava; his physical strength was comparable to that of gods and demons.

Within the lava, faintly visible were fourteen Divine Dragons and giant elephants enveloped, with dragons and elephants roaring, shaking the mountains and the earth, swimming hundreds of circles before the man swam to the shore.

"The temperature of the Skyfire Pond can no longer keep up with my body refining progress.

The Sky-climbing Dharma King was truly a remarkable figure to have created such a divine skill. With my talent, after reaching the Absolute Peak and cultivating for so long, I have only reached the 14th layer.

However, the reason the cultivation becomes increasingly slower in the later stages is fundamentally because, when the Sky-climbing Dharma King created it, it was limited by his era, making the cultivation technique less than perfect.

Once I further refine it, I should be able to reduce the cultivation difficulty without diminishing its power; otherwise, according to the Dharma King’s conception, not even a God could cultivate it to the 21st layer to reach the End Realm of breaking through the seventh shackles."

The man was none other than the Cangtian Dragon King.

After obtaining the "Dragon Elephant Heaven-Supporting Divine Skill," he had been researching ways to simplify it. With his earth-shaking wisdom and after consulting numerous Absolute Peak strong figures, he also figured out some methods, the first of which was body refining in extremely harsh environments.

Super high temperature, supergravity, extreme cold, heavenly thunder...

His ability to cultivate to the 14th layer so quickly, the Skyfire Pond, played an indispensable role.

The second method was to collect the extraordinary treasure energies between heaven and earth, especially the Innate Dragon Qi and the Divine Elephant Qi, to merge these two treasure energies into one and refine a "Dragon Elephant Treasure Qi," using external forces to stimulate the body and strengthen it from the inside out.

Then, there was the optimization of the cultivation technique itself.

With these measures, one could reduce the difficulty of cultivation by half. Even so, the "Dragon Elephant Heaven-Supporting Divine Skill" was still not a divine skill that ordinary Martial Arts Geniuses could attempt. If one did not possess a superior root bone, comprehension, and Cross-Training Talent, it was not advisable to practice.

This cultivation technique was too against human nature.

The Dragon King made a grasping motion in the void, his five claws releasing a spider-web-like golden lightning, magnificent and dazzling. Wherever the lightning passed, the void shattered like a mirror.

This was the "Star Primordial Magnetic Force," a variant of magnetic field power, born only after the "Star Primordial Magnetic Tribulation Scripture" was mastered. Its effect far surpassed that of a regular magnetic field.

Hum hum!

The entire volcano trembled.

Grazing red-horned deer looked toward the red clouds filling the sky above the volcanic crater. Some Martial Artists also looked up, only to see a thousand-zhang-long black dragon with lava for armor, flaming wings for motion, soaring into the sky, its terrifying dragon’s might sweeping through heaven and earth. Although it was called a dragon, its shape closely resembled the evil dragons from Western legends.

The black dragon’s eyes were confused, but after a moment, it showed an expression of anger.

"Human, this king wants you dead!"

The black dragon, flapping its wings of death, enveloped by immense fiery clouds, charged towards the Dragon King above the clouds, and in an instant, the enormous dragon head had reached above the clouds.

Duang!

Before it got close, it hit an invisible barrier, and then a sea of golden lightning spread from the black clouds, eventually forming a claw of the Five-clawed Golden Dragon, larger than the dragon itself, that enveloped the black dragon like catching a small chick.

The Cangtian Dragon King sneered,

"Do you even deserve to call yourself a Dragon King? Did you ask my permission?"

No one understands dragons better than I, the Cangtian Dragon King!

Boom!

In an instant, the black dragon was flung to distant mountains a hundred miles away, making a thunderous noise, then crashed from the sky to the ground time after time...

After ninety-nine crashes, the black dragon was listless.

It spat blood, incredulously saying,

"Weren’t you just entering the Seventh Realm?"

Itself a powerful demon of the Mid-Seventh Realm, was powerless to retaliate.

As the words fell, the black dragon’s form dissolved, turning into a black great spear, its body ancient and heavy, engraved with a vigorous, cyan Divine Dragon pattern, its aura swallowing sun and moon!

"Let’s call it ’Dragon Spear.’"

The Cangtian Dragon King was bad with names, opting for simplicity.

He used his hand as a brush and branded the spear’s name on it.

Boom boom boom!

The true name of the spear emerged, and faintly, a black dragon phantom appeared, spanning heaven and earth.

The black dragon bowed its head, acknowledging the Dragon King as its master.

The Dragon King casually swung the Dragon Spear around, causing the heavens and earth to spin.

Crash crash—

Sounds of waves came from the clouds as if seawater had descended out of nowhere.

A middle-aged man carrying a long spear appeared from the void, his aura vast like the sea, calm and deep, in stark contrast to the ostentatious Dragon King.

The Sea Covering Saint Spear congratulated,

"Congratulations, Dragon King, the Divine Spear has achieved Great Success."

"It’s just a spear embryo; it still needs to be nurtured for a long time."

"Using heavenly materials ’Great Sun Melt Gold Iron’ and bones of a Seventh Realm demon dragon as primary materials, forged with the ’Star Palace Hundred Refinement Technique,’ one can hardly imagine the might... If this attempt succeeds, the upper limit of the divine weapon must also be elevated to unparalleled levels."

"Brother Yang came to find me, is there something?"

"Ah, just finished the spear skill exchange competition."

"Yang Tian won the championship?"

"It was Lu Chenzhou."

Hearing Lu Chenzhou’s name, the Dragon King was not surprised; he smiled, saying:

"It seems this young fellow has also honed his spear skills."

Yang Jue remarked,

"Yes, very strong, even stronger than when I was younger."

"Is that so?"

"He has already comprehended the prototype of the Law Realm, just like you did back in the day."

Hearing this, the Dragon King’s eyes briefly flickered, as if recalling.

"Prototype of the Law Realm... Is it Fist Technique or Spear Skill?"

"Spear Skill."

"That’s good. In the future, our Da Xia Martial Arts World will have another fierce warrior."

"Let’s go. The chairman has summoned us to a meeting at the Penglai Pavilion."

The two Absolute Peak incarnations walked side by side, heading straight for the East Sea.
