The Dao of Strength: Method, Technique, Force
The Guiding Envoy of the second city didn't seem to want this year's prodigies to enter the later cities so early. Even after Zhou Tong had been there for half a month, the trials of the second city had not yet begun.
Time flies, and another half month has passed in the blink of an eye.
For the past month, Zhou Tong has been quietly recuperating in this city, honing his Hegemon Fist intent and Hegemon Fist momentum with the strange laws and will within the Source of Dao.
On that very morning, as the rosy dawn shone, the city was a scene of bustling prosperity.
"When..."
The great bell tolled, Guiding Envoy finally appeared, immediately opening the Primordial Trial Grounds.
The trial participants who embarked on the Ancient Starry Road were all full of energy, none of them wanting to miss it, and all waiting for this moment.
Zhou Tong was no exception; he also gathered in the city center.
Just after everyone had gathered, twelve Daoist Sect suddenly appeared out of thin air in the square in the center of the ancient city, leading to an ancient trial ground. The Divine Gate were dazzling, and the interior seemed to be a Immortal Domain.
"Well, you all should take care of yourselves and hone your skills. Some people have obtained great opportunities here in the past, and now their fame resounds throughout the ancient road. For example, Di Tian and the Great Demon God ten years ago both gained profound insights here." The Guiding Envoy n't say much, just a simple word of encouragement.
The twelve Daoist Sect opened, and all the trial participants entered the Primordial Ancient Dao Ground.
This is a vast and magnificent land, inhabited by many ancient and exotic species.
After Zhou Tong entered, he didn't think much about it and walked forward step by step, trying to feel the overwhelming power. He could feel an endless force surging here.
"Om!"
Just as Zhou Tong was comprehending the general trend here, a strange light suddenly appeared in his eyes, because strands of Great Dao Runes began to weave on the body of his Hegemonic Bell.
"Huh? Could there be some kind of scripture here?" Zhou Tong was very curious. He immediately closed his eyes and carefully sensed the intricate patterns woven on his Hegemonic Bell. At the same time, a sound of the Dao Scripture rang out and entered his heart. After careful contemplation, he was deeply moved.
This is the profound meaning of "power." Even just the initial glimpse of its grand potential reveals it as the supreme path. Through the profound meaning of runes, the great principles of all things are explained, all revolving around the word "power."
This is a combination of Great Dao Runes that is so incomplete that it is impossible to obtain the complete text. At most, one can glean some insights from a limited number of runes after obtaining it.
At first, Zhou Tong was a little surprised, but as he continued reading, he was immediately shocked.
He was very familiar with this scripture; it was none other than the Ten Evils Treasure Art — the Sky Horn Ant Treasure Art.
"My God, the trial grounds of the Second Pass of the Human Race actually contain the profound meaning of the Sky Horn Ant Treasure Art?" This was something Zhou Tong had never expected; he never thought that he could see the profound meaning of the Sky Horn Ant Treasure Art in this place.
Although it was already badly damaged, it was still the secret of the Ten Evils Treasure Art!
"Logically speaking, the Human Ancient Road should have been established during the era of the Emperor Venerable. Why did this happen?" Zhou Tong frowned.
The Human Ancient Road was likely established by the Emperor Venerable, who left behind some ancient lands and places of Fortune in the starry sky using star coordinates, and set up some cities along the way as transit points. The Emperor Venerable also left some Fortune here.
All of this ultimately formed the ancient trial path for the human race.
However, the era of the Emperor Venerable was far removed from the Chaotic Ancient Years, so it should have been impossible for him to have obtained the Sky Horn Ant Treasure Art.
"Could it be... the place of the Immortal Flower in the Chaotic Ancient Era?" Dao Body suddenly appeared in Zhou Tong's mind, the genius of the same era as the Desolate Heaven Emperor - the Banished Immortal.
"Could it be that the Emperor Venerable obtained the incomplete Sky Horn Ant Nest from back then, and then re-evolved it, transforming it into this Daoist temple? Is that why this Daoist temple, specifically for comprehending the Dao of Power, was left here?" Zhou Tong was very suspicious that the Sky Horn Ant Nest from the Chaotic Ancient Era was probably this place.
"But what does it matter whether the Sky Horn Ant Nest is here or not? Anyway, I already know the Sky Horn Ant Treasure Art; even if there were any treasures here in the past, they are definitely gone now!"
Zhou Tong was very open-minded and didn't think too much about it. Instead, he quietly wandered around this sacred land full of the principles of power.
With his unparalleled physical Azure Heaven Hegemonic Body and boundless power, Zhou Tong, who had cultivated the "Immortal Sutra" and the Sky Horn Ant Treasure Art, naturally blended into the powerful atmosphere of this place.
As Zhou Tong walked, the Sky Horn Ant Treasure Art and the Immortal Sutra began to circulate unconsciously within his body. His Essence Blood surged throughout his body, making him resemble a Star Scripture. Every movement he made could cause mountains to collapse and the Void the Great to distort.
Especially as time went on, his power became heavier and more terrifying.
"Collapse!!"
The Void the Great around Zhou Tong's wrist and neck completely collapsed, forming a terrifying crack that pierced through the area.
The mere beating of a pulse, that tiny, almost imperceptible force, can shatter a vast Void the Great.
Countless sacred beasts in this world trembled, not daring to approach him even slightly.
"The Way of Power, through this verification, perhaps my Hegemon Fist will become more perfect!" Zhou Tong pondered for a while, then changed his mind and began to hone his fist intent and momentum using the omnipresent Way of Power in this place.
In that instant, countless mountains and even the sky within the entire Primordial Ancient Dao Ground emitted a brilliant light, as if an invincible force and will were manifesting and then pressing down on Zhou Tong.
Zhou Tong quietly comprehended the Dao, merging with the overwhelming power manifested by the Great Dao of Power, and incorporating it into his own power, allowing his fist technique to undergo a further rebirth, Transcendence the original Hegemon Fist.
As he gained insight, Dao Body gradually materialized behind Zhou Tong, identical to himself, and began to swing his fist, gathering an unprecedented fist force.
That Dao Body was extremely terrifying; every movement possessed unparalleled power that could shake the Myriad Heavens. With every gesture, the sky shattered and Eternal Ancient Star Annihilation.
"Spells! Techniques! Power!"
A sense of understanding gradually emerged in Zhou Tong's mind.
Those were insights into my own Forbidden Domain.
Heaven Slaying Dao is the law, the Hegemon Fist is the power, and the Ten Evils Treasure Art are the techniques!
With the Ten Evils Treasure Art as its core, it re-evolves the method of Heaven Slaying Dao and the power of the Hegemon Fist.
Then, the newly evolved Heaven Slaying Dao and Hegemon Fist will be integrated and combined into one.
Finally, based on this foundation, it undergoes a phoenix-like rebirth and is completely transformed!
"Forbidden Domain, this is my Forbidden Domain..." The figure behind Zhou Tong suddenly disappeared, and he opened his eyes, his gaze clearer than ever before.
This enlightenment allowed him to understand the Dao within his Forbidden Domain and to know the direction to move forward, which was of great significance.
"But merely understanding the path and its implications is not enough; it must encompass the methods of the Ten Fiends... My Ten Fiends Divine Form should also be completed as soon as possible!" Zhou Tong thought to himself.
He had a feeling that his Forbidden Domain could only be truly completed after he cultivated the true Ten Fiends Divine Form.
"My Ten Fiends Divine Form are still missing three: the Sky Horn Ant, the Nine Netherworld Howler, and the God-Striking Stone..."
Choosing between these three of the Ten Evils Treasure Art is quite difficult.
The Sky Horn Ant Treasure Art is the Way of Power. Integrating this Way into one's own system can cause one's Dao power to surge. The Nine Netherworld Ferocious Beast Treasure Art symbolizes "death" and "destruction," and it corresponds to the Immortal Phoenix Treasure Art, thus promoting it from another perspective. As for the God Striking Stone Treasure Art, it goes without saying that it is the most adept at using divine sense among the Ten Evils Treasure Art.
These three techniques are exactly what Zhou Tong needs most right now.
"The next Divine Form of the Saint King realm will be the Sky Horn Ant!" Zhou Tong pondered for a moment before finally deciding.
