Second Realm Secret Method of the Life-Death Path
Huyang City, inside the City Lord's Mansion.
Luo Feng was drinking alone in the pavilion, his brows furrowed, clearly in trouble.
"That silly boy Qing Yan has finally comprehended another Chaos Realm Secret Method, and his accumulation has become quite substantial." Moluo Sa walked in the City Lord's Mansion, in a good mood. In any case, Mo Yu Qing Yan is closer to the Chaos Realm.
Although Xin Yu, the second disciple of the Blade River Sect, is much more talented, no matter how outstanding the other disciples are, they cannot compare to their own disciple.
Moluo Sa looked up and saw the Luo Feng on the distant pavilion.
"Strange," Moluo Sa, somewhat puzzled. "Something's not right with Master..."
Swoosh.
Moluo Sa quickly reached the upper floor and cautiously said from the corridor below the steps, "Master."
Luo Feng glanced at Moluo Sa: "What's up?"
"Is something troubling you, Master?" Moluo Sa asked, observing his expression. "I wonder if I can help?"
Moluo Sa believed he had reached the God King Second Realm, surpassing his master in every way! He thought he, Moluo Sa, might be able to solve his master's troubles.
"You can't help," Luo Feng shook his head.
"Master, why don't you tell me?" Moluo Sa asked.
Luo Feng chuckled, "I've encountered a great terror, and fear is growing uncontrollably in my heart! This is greatly affecting my cultivation... Do you have a way to prevent me from feeling fear?"
Using the Great Destruction Heart Refining Method with all one's might can indeed crush all distracting thoughts, leaving the mind sufficiently pure and serene.
However, this also distracted Luo Feng too much, slowing down his thinking and greatly reducing his efficiency in comprehending and cultivating. He was only at less than half the efficiency he had in his best condition.
How could Luo Feng be in a good mood after carrying such a negative burden for so long?
He was thinking about how to solve this problem!
"Encountering a great terror? Breeding fear?" Moluo Sa wondered, "What on this Origin Continent could cause Master to feel fear?"
Luo Feng smiled.
"Will it cause the master's complete death? Or even affect the entire tribe?" Moluo Sa asked, suspecting that his master had encountered a terrifying and powerful enemy.
"There will be no danger to your life," Luo Feng said. "It will only affect your cultivation."
"You won't die, so what's there to be afraid of?" Moluo Sa asked.
Luo Feng shook his head. "If you can't control your mind, fear will naturally arise."
"Just control your mind, isn't that enough?" Moluo Sa looked at Luo Feng with a puzzled expression.
"Get it under control?"
Luo Feng was slightly taken aback.
As a god-king, he possessed the God King Ultimate Realm! Yet, when faced with that enormous eye from his memory, he felt an instinctive fear!
"Yes, it's just Memory Pollution. It's less threatening than willpower contamination. So what's there to be afraid of?"
"The fear of life's instinct? Then I will control my instincts."
"All fear originates from within."
"If you can control your mind, you can also control your instincts."
Luo Feng vanished without a trace, leaving Moluo Sa on the pavilion looking slightly puzzled.
"What terrifying thing happened to Master?" Moluo Sa wondered, puzzled.
The first floor of the Inside the Star Tower.
Luo Feng sat cross-legged, ceasing the Great Destruction Heart Refining Method.
The enormous eye in his memory seemed to be looking down at him through endless time and space.
Fear resurfaced!
My heart is trembling!
Fear, surrender, dread!
"Stay calm! It's just a memory from a dream, it can't threaten me, why be afraid? Don't be afraid, face it! Face it!" Luo Feng convinced himself again and again.
But knowing is one thing! The instinct for survival is another!
Fear continued to grow and spread, and the terror brought by this giant eye penetrated deeper and deeper into Luo Feng's heart.
"Face it!"
"It's just a memory!"
Luo Feng forced himself to face it, but as time passed, the fear continued to seep in and its influence deepened. In the end, Luo Feng could only use the Great Destruction Heart Refining Method to erase all distracting thoughts and restore his mind to purity and tranquility.
After it was obliterated, Luo Feng stopped using the Heart Refinement and continued to face it directly.
"Control your mind, control your instincts." Luo Feng always took the initiative to confront things.
At first, he had to use the Great Destruction Heart Refining Method every three to five days to erase all distracting thoughts. Gradually, over dozens of days, and even thousands of days... as he observed for longer, Luo Feng gradually became accustomed to the terror brought by this giant eye, and his control over his mind also strengthened.
It lasted for more than half a century!
"The fear it evokes has weakened considerably." Even without the aid of the Great Destruction Heart Refining Method, Luo Feng could face this enormous eye for an extended period.
The same applies to those God-Kings who cultivate the Primal Chaos Bloodline. They repeatedly contend with and suppress the will of their bloodline! This is also a form of training. For example, Cloud Sky God King reached the 'God King Ultimate Realm Will' through such training.
Over the course of more than half a century, Luo Feng's mind has also undergone a transformation.
"Is this giant eye the eye of some real, terrifying being? Or is it just an illusion from a dream?" Luo Feng was quite curious.
"It is the most terrifying thing I have ever seen, even though I only saw it in a dream."
"We can try to create a terrifying Secret Method."
Luo Feng had an inspiration to create Secret Method.
In the years before, I had already comprehended all nine branches of the Life-Death Path.
"Using the nine branches of the Life-Death Path, we can try to create this move." Luo Feng still faced the enormous eye directly, ignoring the slight fear that arose within him, and tried to create Secret Method.
The nine branches of the Life-Death Path are the six branches initially comprehended: the Blood Drop Lineage, the Crimson Sun Lineage, the Nirvana Lineage, the Eternal Lineage Black Smoke Lineage, and the Walker Lineage, as well as the Sky Light Lineage, the Void Lineage, and the Reincarnation Lineage that were subsequently comprehended.
The nine branches contain the core essence of the Life-Death Path. Each branch draws upon some of the mysteries of the six branches of life and the six branches of destruction, and each branch is extremely powerful.
"That giant eye should be centered around the Eternal Branch, the Blood Drop Branch, and the Reincarnation Branch." After facing it for so long, Luo Feng already had a direction for the Secret Method in mind.
"Further supplemented by the Crimson Sun Branch, Black Smoke Branch, and Void Branch."
"The six branches have been integrated! The move that has been perfectly integrated should have some of the charm of that eye."
Luo Feng began to ponder.
This move was of such high artistic conception that it was more difficult to create than Luo Feng had anticipated.
Whenever Luo Feng encountered a perplexing situation, he would confront that enormous eye directly, observing it closely and studying why it brought such terror. He would seek inspiration and continuously refine this technique.
Completely focused on creating Secret Method, Luo Feng had no interest in doing anything else.
When invited to join the Reincarnation Small Building, Luo Feng declined, saying he was currently in seclusion and had no intention of exploring the Treasure Land.
"This giant eye can no longer evoke any fear in me." After more than ten centuries of researching this giant eye and trying to create Secret Method, Luo Feng no longer felt any fear no matter how he faced it.
Once the fear subsided, the giant eye's assistance to cultivation diminished.
"The Seven Emotions Heart Refining Method enhances my perception."
Luo Feng began to circulate the Seven Emotions Heart Refining Method. In this state, all kinds of emotions, such as joy, anger, worry, sorrow, fear, and shock, would be much stronger. Even a little emotion could stir up a huge wave in one's heart.
"Boom—"
As soon as he activated the Seven Emotions Heart Refining Method, the enormous eye once again aroused Luo Feng's fear, and the fear was extremely strong, as if he were facing it for the first time, his heart trembling with fear.
"Very good, very good, that's the feeling." Luo Feng was overjoyed and went to refine this Secret Method once again.
The Secret Method is gradually being perfected.
Eras passed! Finally, thirty-four eras after Luo Feng faced this giant eye.
"It's done!"
Inside the Star Tower, Luo Feng was incredibly excited.
After years of dedicated research, Luo Feng finally succeeded in creating Secret Method, a sense of accomplishment that brought him great satisfaction.
"I've finally created this Secret Method! It was incredibly difficult! It's far more difficult than the Primal Chaos Undying Light!" Luo Feng exclaimed excitedly. "This memory in the dream is not a curse, but a blessing!"
Even though Luo Feng was maintaining the Seven Emotions Heart Refining Method, that giant eye could no longer instill fear in Luo Feng.
Because Luo Feng studied it very deeply.
The more you know, the less mysterious it becomes, and naturally, the sense of terror disappears.
After all, it's just an image from a dream memory.
"What I'm studying is just a fragment of a dream. If it really exists, I wonder how terrifying it would be," Luo Feng thought.
"In retrospect, the Secret Method created this time is the only one that truly embodies the Life-Death Great Path Second Realm!" Luo Feng smiled brightly, and under the Seven Emotions Heart Refining Method, his excitement grew even stronger.
The 'Primal Chaos Undying Light' that was successfully deduced last time is actually the fusion of five major branches: the two major branches of life and the three major branches of destruction.
This time, six of the nine branches of the Life-Death Great Path have been completely integrated, making it a true Secret Method of the Life-Death Great Path Second Realm. Although it hasn't been tested yet, Luo Feng can tell that the power of this Secret Method far surpasses that of the Primal Chaos Undying Light.
"It took me more than two hundred epochs to become a God-King. I finally created this move by relying on the images in my dream memories."
Luo Feng knew very well that it would be difficult to create such a move in a short period of time with his own accumulated knowledge. This time, he was completely influenced by the dream memory, had a clear direction, and spent more than thirty epochs to create such a move.
"Each branch of this Secret Method is extremely powerful. When the six branches are combined, can its power match that of the 'Ultimate Realm Secret Method'?" Luo Feng asked with some curiosity.
Both the Emperor Lord Gui Xu and the God King Wu Xin possess Ultimate Realm Secret Method.
While each of their individual branches is strong, only Emperor Lord Gui Xu and the God King Wu Xin combine all their branches into a perfect whole can they achieve a qualitative change and be considered to possess the Ultimate Realm Secret Method.
"Give it a try."
This Secret Method can be performed with the body or different weapons. When using a knife, it becomes the terrifying knife technique; when using Giant Axe, it becomes the axe technique; and when using a hammer, it becomes the destructive hammer technique.
Luo Feng reached out his hand.
His outstretched right hand instantly turned dark, as if it were the core of the entire world! Even if the world were to perish, this palm would not be harmed in the slightest! With boundless terror in his eyes, Luo Feng's large palm, with its five fingers, slammed out.
"Boom!" The five fingers shone brightly in an instant, forcefully destroying everything. The invisible membrane of the Source World was shattered and torn open, revealing a trench that was at least ten feet long.
Outside the membrane of the Source World, billowing black air currents surged in along the ravines.
"This move is the Great Extinction Style!" Luo Feng was quite satisfied with what he saw.
