The laws around him surged wildly, forming an energy storm.
The Flying Snake Race Star Lords, compressed into a single layer of skin, did not even leave behind Inner Cores. Their entire material structures had been dismantled into planar forms, unable to sustain their original cultivation.
Qin Heng felt somewhat regretful.
When he had killed the Hidden Sword Main God earlier, he had destroyed him thoroughly to prevent his resurrection and had not found an Inner Core either.
Including this time, the value of the lost energy Inner Cores was no longer small.
Qin Heng gave this not-yet-complete secret art a temporary name: "Fleeting Life Scroll."
In terms of power, it should be considered a tenth-order secret art, not much stronger than Universe Origin or World Extinction Great Tribulation.
However, the three great secret arts possessed different traits. Universe Origin required a longer buildup and had a broader explosive range. World Extinction Great Tribulation was a desperate move that would severely injure its user even as it erupted.
This Fleeting Life Scroll had the lowest cost and could be unleashed with a lift of the hand. Though its strike range was somewhat smaller, only a little over a hundred thousand kilometers, that was enough.
Qin Heng had already foreseen the path ahead for this secret art. If he could fully comprehend it, it would become the so-called "Dimension Reduction Strike."
It could be guessed that a method capable of collapsing three-dimensional space into a plane should be a thirteenth-order secret art.
If it went a step further and compressed a plane into a line, it would be above the fifteenth order, perhaps a sixteenth-order secret art.
With such power, even Kings would flee in a panic at the sight of it.
And the final step—compressing all things and the void
