Battle Intent Furnace
The Lord of Divine Ruins exploded, and the shockwave was terrifying. If it weren't for the Lingbao Sword Formation isolating everything, the entire universe would probably be illuminated by blood-red light.
This was the explosion of a supreme being after its ascension, with unparalleled power. Its blood splattered onto Zhou Tong, piercing his body with several wounds.
Although the outside world could not see the Supreme being explode, countless people felt that Myriad Daos were wailing, which must be the strange phenomenon of the Supreme being being killed after sublimation.
"The Supreme Being who had been sublimated was killed!" Upon realizing this, countless cultivators were excited, especially those who knew the cause of the Dark Turmoil, who felt immense gratitude.
Thanks to Zhou Tong and the Great Accomplishment Sacred Body, another source of turmoil has been resolved.
Within the Forbidden Zone, some unborn supreme beings also extended their divine senses to investigate the scene, but everything was blocked by the Lingbao Sword Formation, and they were unable to detect anything.
But from the scene of Myriad Daos wailing cries, they could confirm that the one killed after Ultimate Sublimation was the Lord of Divine Ruins.
Meanwhile, within the Lingbao Sword Formation.
We won!
Looking at the countless bones and blood within the range of the sword formation, Zhou Tong felt a sense of relief. The last supreme being had finally died at his hands.
"Puff!"
However, upon relaxing, he coughed up a mouthful of blood, and his Hegemon Body Ancestral Form could no longer be maintained and disappeared directly; after the Ancestral Form disappeared, his body almost exploded, but fortunately, the Azure Lotus emitted a blue light to stabilize it.
"As expected of the Supreme Beings after their ascension, I underestimated them!" Zhou Tong sat down cross-legged, and the last remaining Supreme Life Spring Divine Liquid within the Ten Cave Heaven Divine Rings burned. With a final cry of the Immortal Phoenix, his physical body and injuries were restored.
"Buzz!"
Then, his body trembled slightly, and his entire body shone with a burst of azure light. Finally, all the azure light receded and transformed into an Azure Lotus, which left his body.
"After such a fierce battle, the Chaos Green Lotus was not damaged in the slightest. It truly lives up to its reputation as the former Green Lotus Immortal King!" Zhou Tong thought with some emotion. Even the Battle Staff was cracked, but the Azure Lotus remained unscathed.
He looked inward and realized that he had already transcended in the battle just now, reaching the seventh level of Quasi-Emperor.
However, his recovery from injuries and the surge in his cultivation level do not mean that he is now Quasi-Emperor the Seventh Heaven. This is because his entire body is covered with the Dao of several Supreme Beings.
The Imperial Dao Laws of the six supreme beings— Stone Emperor, Light and Dark Supreme, Lord of Reincarnation, Heavenly Abandonment Supreme, Lord of Divine Ruins, and Azure Emperor —were like six shackles, binding him tightly and preventing him from manifesting the power of the Seventh Heaven.
The Azure Emperor's laws were imprinted on his body because they were combined with the side effects of the Chaos Green Lotus.
"The laws of the six supreme beings are somewhat troublesome, but give me a few years, and I can gradually eliminate them!" Zhou Tong thought to himself.
He wasn't like Ye Fan in the original story, who was only at the Great Saint Realm and needed over three hundred years to recover and remove those supreme laws. He was already at the sixth level of Quasi-Emperor, so removing those laws was much easier for him.
The simplest method is to directly use the Immortal Phoenix Nirvana technique, combined with the power of the Vajra Ring, to achieve Nirvana. If it doesn't work the first time, then try it ten or a hundred times. There is no healing method in the world that can surpass the Immortal Phoenix Nirvana.
"However, my Battle Intent Furnace ..." Zhou Tong pondered for a while, then sat down cross-legged to think about the Battle Intent Furnace.
When Zhou Tong first advanced to the Quasi-Emperor level, he considered using the Eight-Nine Heavenly Merit of the Demon Ape Lineage as a guide to connect the Ten Fiends Mysteries, making it a truly perfect superposition technique suitable for his Hegemon Body Ancestral Form.
In fact, this idea goes beyond the scope of the Hegemon Body Ancestral Form. Because the Hegemon Body Ancestral Form is merely a combination of laws, allowing various laws to be perfectly combined and perfectly harmonious, but it is not a perfect fusion and superposition.
Moreover, Zhou Tong himself has not reached that level of cultivation, so how could he improve Immortal King- level technique?
However, in the battle just now, Zhou Tong pushed the Heavenly Skill of the Demon Ape Lineage to its limit, and combined it with the Hegemon Body Ancestral Form, which allowed him to instantly comprehend a technique, namely the Battle Intent Furnace.
This method is not an improvement on the Eight-Nine Heavenly Merit, but rather it burns away the superimposed laws and transforms them into the purest fighting spirit.
This is a special approach; it is not a method of perfectly superimposing the Ten Fiends, but rather a method of perfectly burning the Ten Fiends.
If this Furnace of Battle Intent falls into the hands of others, it will be of little use. At most, it can only boost morale, strengthen will, and solidify fighting spirit, making one's mind unaffected by other forces. It can only be considered an auxiliary method for combat, enhancing cultivators' courage, fighting spirit, perseverance, and other rather illusory qualities.
However, in Zhou Tong's hands, it had a completely different meaning.
His first Forbidden Domain — Battle Immortal —is a technique where the higher the fighting spirit, the more terrifying the attack power. When combined with the Battle Intent Furnace, this technique can unleash ten times the attack power at its peak.
This explosive combat power is similar to the Nine Secrets: Jie, but it is also different from the Nine Secrets: Jie.
Once the Nine Secrets: Jie is successfully activated, its effects can only be unleashed for a very short period of time; therefore, it needs to be activated continuously when using the Nine Secrets: Jie.
But the Battle Intent Furnace is different. Once the battle intent is ignited, it will continue to burn as long as you don't actively extinguish it, without needing to be repeatedly activated like the Nine Secrets: Jie.
Compared to the Nine Secrets: Jie, this method has no gaps in its use, which is equivalent to having ten times the combat power at all times.
However, its drawbacks are also obvious. Because it is a furnace, it takes time for the battle intent to be ignited and then reach its limit. In other words, when the secret technique is first activated, the Battle Intent Furnace is not as Nine Secrets: Jie.
Of course, the biggest difference between the two methods is that the Battle Intent Furnace can only be considered a method to complement Zhou Tong's Battle Immortal Art. Apart from the Battle Immortal Art, the Battle Intent Furnace is just a method to stabilize the battle mind. Moreover, most importantly, this method can only be used with the Hegemon Body Ancestral Form the furnace. Without using the Ancestral Body, this move cannot be used.
But the Nine Secrets: Jie is different; it is a tenfold improvement in all aspects and has no usage restrictions.
"Battle intent can burn indefinitely. My current Hegemon Body Ancestral Form can only withstand ten times the battle intent, but the future is uncertain!" Zhou Tong thought to himself.
This method is in its early stages and is not yet perfect.
A large part of his injuries were actually caused by the burning of the Battle Intent Furnace. Because it was imperfect, such intense burning damaged his body.
Not only is this method imperfect, but his Hegemon Body Ancestral Form also still has some flaws. Once these two flaws are completely repaired, the new Battle Intent Furnace will be a completely different story.
"Moreover, this method perfectly combines my first and second taboos!" Zhou Tong thought with delight.
Although other ancient Great Emperor Ancient Emperor possessed numerous forbidden secret techniques, none of them had the same close connection between their various techniques as Zhou Tong.
Other Great Emperor Ancient Emperor could at most activate the first taboo and then smoothly connect to the second taboo; or the previous move was a prelude to the next move.
However, Zhou Tong can use all three taboos simultaneously, with each one overlapping the other.
If the other Supreme Ancient Emperor's forbidden secret techniques combined are combos, then Zhou Tong's three forbidden secret techniques combined are critical hits, dealing 999 damage in one strike.
"Moreover, the Furnace of Battle Intent might also have some other connection to my Battle Immortal Path, helping me to further transform, enhance my combat power, and reach the pinnacle!" This thought suddenly surfaced in Zhou Tong's mind. Perhaps this move was related to the future transformation on his Battle Immortal Path...
Some forbidden secret techniques are related to the cultivator's own path of cultivation. For example, when the Ruthless Great Emperor cultivates the Flying Immortal Art to its peak, a Flying Immortal Divine Fetus will appear. This actually determines the path of the Ruthless Great Emperor's second life.
