Chapter 2186: Chapter 2186: Creating One's Own Dao Technique!_1 Chapter 2186: Chapter 2186: Creating One's Own Dao Technique!_1 Ethan Smith's body was once again shattered, blood gushing out, with almost no intact part left on his body.

However, even though Ethan's body was broken time and time again, his will never wavered. He was unwilling to accept failure, and he was determined to find a way to break through.

Ethan reassembled his body, stood up, and his eyes sparkled with determination. He began to think and reviewed his battle with Clayton Schmidt, trying to find flaws in the fight.

As if time was no longer a constraint on this great war, Ethan knew he couldn't retreat. He could only face the challenges head-on, looking for any weaknesses in the series of clashes.

In worldly time, this great war had been ongoing for dozens of days!

During these dozens of days, Ethan's body had been shattered countless times, and had it not been for this battle relying solely on physical combat, he would have long perished from exhaustion!

Sustaining such a long battle was something Ethan had never experienced before. Not only Ethan, but even Clayton's avatar began to reveal a hint of emotion in his eyes!

The reason was simple: Ethan's progress was too fast!

His body was shattered time and time again, but in each subsequent rebirth, it became stronger!

From the initial instantaneous collapse to a gradually more prolonged fight, Clayton had never come across such an opponent either!

Of course, this was only an avatar formed by the Path of Heaven's illusion, not the real Clayton. But it indeed contained a significant portion of Clayton's dao techniques!

“No, that's not right!” Ethan threw a punch, but he always felt that something was wrong!

“No, it's still not right!”

This feeling made Ethan increasingly agitated. In the blink of an eye, he threw hundreds of punches, shattering the heavens and the earth countless times!

In his mind, it seemed as though a glimmer of light was about to appear, but it was as if something was blocking it.

“Not right!”

Ethan roared and put all his energy into this punch!

“Boom!”

After this punch was thrown, all of Ethan's strength was instantly depleted, leaving him with no energy to stand up!

He squatted on the ground, not caring about the approaching Clayton!

“Where did it go wrong…” Ethan was seemingly possessed, with cold sweat streaming down his forehead. His eyes were unfocused yet fiery as his mind teetered between confusion and clarity, feeling as if he was about to have an epiphany but could never reach it!

Ethan squatted on the ground, covered in blood, his body swaying. Cold sweat beading on his forehead, his eyes were both disoriented and burning. He felt an indescribable sense of panic and excitement.

His fingers trembled, repeatedly clenching and unclenching, as if battling with his inner self. His lips quivered slightly, as if wanting to say something, but in the end, there was only soundless muttering.

“I can't fail… Where did it go wrong…”

Ethan's voice was weak but firm, the determination glittering in his eyes. He knew this was his only chance, and he couldn't let his efforts and persistence go to waste.

He slowly closed his eyes and took a deep breath, trying to calm himself. His heart was tumultuous, thoughts stormy, but he tried to suppress the chaotic thoughts and focused on finding the crucial point.

Time seemed to stand still, and everything around him became blurred. Ethan could only feel the restlessness in his heart and an endless desire. He needed to find the answer; he needed a breakthrough from this predicament.

Just as he was about to give in to despair, a glimmer of light flashed through his mind. He furrowed his brows, focused his mind, and tried to seize that fleeting moment of illumination.

Slowly, that glimmer of light became clearer, like a lonesome star, shining brightly in Ethan's mind.

“I understand now! I'm clear!” At this critical moment, Ethan suddenly stood up!

The reason he couldn't defeat Clayton no matter what was that Ethan had been fighting within Clayton's dao technique all along!

So no matter how fast Ethan's progress was, it could never surpass the creator of this dao technique!

“The only way to defeat Clayton is to create my own dao technique…” Ethan murmured softly, instantly understanding everything!

At the same time, the sky began to clear, and the previously rolling black clouds, Irvin, also emitted a bright light!

The black clouds in the sky gradually dissipated, replaced by a clear, blue sky. Sunlight shone down, illuminating and warming the earth.

Ethan looked up, his eyes filled with hope and determination. He felt the warmth of the sunlight's baptism, as if a subtle resonance between him and the universe's power had occurred.

A gentle breeze caressed his face, giving him a sense of tranquility and peace. He stared at the sky, sensing the changes within it.

As the dark clouds dissipated, the sky returned to its bright and calm state. Fluffy white clouds floated through, soft and light like cotton candy.

Sunlight filtered through gaps in the clouds, casting dazzling patterns of light and shadow. The light passed through the Cloud Layer, like magical beams illuminating everything on the ground.

The sky's blue became even more pure, like a clear, still lake. Ethan gazed at the sky, feeling the serenity and determination within him.

Upon witnessing such a marvel, Ethan couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart.

“Strange, does this heavenly tribulation not intend to eliminate me after all…” Ethan murmured quietly.

Cultivation is all about defying the heavens, so there would be heavenly tribulations. Hence, the heavenly tribulations would inevitably do everything they could to eliminate the cultivators.

However, this clear blue sky now caused Ethan to waver slightly.

Even the ever battle-ready Clayton had stopped at this moment, simply standing in the distance, silently watching Ethan.

Ethan didn't think any further. Since this was the case, he could only create his own dao technique to confront this avatar of Clayton.

He sat cross-legged and began to comprehend the dao technique by immersing himself in it.

Ethan sat in meditation, absorbed in his own insights. He closed his eyes and focused his thoughts on his inner world.

Deep within, he felt a powerful energy surging, like a river constantly converging within his body. He began to concentrate his mind, attentively sensing the pulsations and variations of this energy.

Inside him was like a vast universe, full of endless possibilities. He began to observe his body, soul, and consciousness, trying to find the link connecting them.

Ethan's consciousness gradually sank deeper, entering a boundless space. In this space, he saw glowing runes floating like stars, exuding a mysterious and formidable power.

These runes were his own dao techniques, the traces of his cultivation, and the key to wielding his power. Ethan began to study these runes, carefully pondering their mysteries, word by word, sentence by sentence.
