Outside the main hall, as Lin Ming first attempted to circulate the Great Heaven Creation Palm, causing the destructive black light to appear and then dissipate, the sky over the entire East Dragon Island was already changing color!
The pure Heaven and Earth Energy that had been flowing peacefully above the island seemed to be violently stirred up by an invisible giant hand, and began to stir up agitation without warning!
A massive, visible energy vortex, large enough to cover half of the main hall area, quietly formed around the main hall. It then devoured the surging Heaven and Earth Energy from all directions with an almost predatory frenzy!
The energy converged so rapidly that it created howling energy hurricanes at the edge of the vortex, emitting a low, mournful sound.
Above the sky, the previously empty spatial barrier rippled violently, and thick dark clouds gathered from nowhere, layer upon layer, pressing down extremely low, as if the sky itself was about to collapse.
The dark clouds were not ordinary rain clouds, but rather a mixture of highly condensed Space Power and violent energy. Streaks of silvery spatial lightning danced and exploded within them, emanating a destructive aura that sent chills down one's spine.
An indescribable, oppressive aura, seemingly originating from the very source of heaven and earth, enveloped the entire East Dragon Island as if it were a tangible force, causing all living beings to feel a tremor and unease from the depths of their souls, as if some heaven-defying thing, some forbidden power, was quietly being conceived and born deep within the main hall!
This extraordinary phenomenon immediately alarmed all the people on East Dragon Island.
Many Ancient Dragon Clan who were cultivating, resting, or on patrol were startled by this terrifying fluctuation of heaven and earth. They rushed out of their stone houses and Cave Mansion, or soared into the air from the Mountain Forest, looking with suspicion and horror towards the center of the storm and vortex—the direction of the main hall. Whispers and exclamations quickly spread among the crowd.
"Such... such terrifying energy fluctuations! What... what is this? Could it be an invasion by a powerful enemy?" A young ancient Ancient Dragon Warrior's face turned pale, and his voice trembled slightly.
"It doesn't seem like... The energy source is from inside the main hall! Inside the main hall, at this moment, only Mr. Lin Ming, who holds the Dragon Emperor's Inverse Scale, should still be there..." A senior commander with sharp eyes and clearer perception said in a deep voice, but the shock in his eyes was not diminished at all.
"This pressure... is not just powerful, but also carries a sense of destruction that seems capable of ending everything! It makes me feel the dragon blood within me trembling uncontrollably, wanting to run away..." A member of the clan with relatively pure bloodline clutched his chest, his face filled with awe and fear.
Even the Black Steel, who had just safely delivered Qing Lin to the entrance of the Dragon Tomb and was preparing to take Xiong Zhan Hei Qing find a suitable place for him to heal and cultivate, suddenly stopped in his tracks the moment this strange phenomenon occurred.
He abruptly turned his head, his large, copper-bell-like eyes fixed on the direction of the main hall, his rugged face revealing extreme shock and disbelief.
With his powerful senses, he could perceive more clearly than ordinary clansmen how domineering and terrifying the core aura emanating from the main hall, which drew upon the Heaven and Earth Energy, was!
The destructive implications contained within sent a chill down his spine, even to him, as if he were facing not a source of energy, but a cosmic Black Hole about to erupt, capable of devouring everything!
"What on earth is this guy doing? What kind of Dou Technique could he be cultivating to evoke such heavenly might?" Hei Qing muttered to himself, his throat feeling dry.
He had initially thought he had a certain understanding of Lin Ming's strength, but now it seemed that the secrets and Trump Card of this young human were far more unfathomable than he had imagined. As a result, his evaluation of Lin Ming rose to a new level, even carrying a hint of indescribable apprehension.
Xiong Zhan was also stunned by this Heaven and Earth Phenomenon. His burly body tensed slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "Sect... Sect Master, is he alright?"
"... The Energy Core is very stable. Although it's terrifying, there are no signs of it going berserk." Hei Qing carefully sensed it and answered in a muffled voice, but his gaze remained fixed on the main hall.
Inside the main hall, Lin Ming was unaware of the uproar that had engulfed the outside world, or rather, he had no time to pay attention to it.
After successfully dissipating the almost out-of-control "Great Heaven Creation Palm" force, he slowly calmed the somewhat turbulent and restless energy within his body caused by the instantaneous consumption and return of a massive amount of Dou Qi.
Heaven Tier Dou Technique require and receive far more combat Dou Qi than ordinary Dou Technique, requiring careful management.
Once his breathing had completely stabilized and his eyes had regained their clarity, Lin Ming's mind stirred once more, and two ancient scrolls radiating completely different energy glows shot out from the Storage Ring on his finger. As if held up by an invisible hand, they floated quietly in front of him, emitting an alluring light.
These two scrolls were obtained as prizes for Heaven Tier Dou Technique in those Ancient Ruins, before the Dou Saint remains. At the time, he had no time to examine them closely and could only put them away. Now that the storm had subsided and he was safely on East Dragon Island, he finally had ample time and a peaceful mind to explore the mysteries of this unexpected acquisition.
One of the scrolls had a deep, mysterious color that seemed to draw one's gaze in.
Its color is like the night sky, yet it has faint glimmers of light flowing around it, like the Star Trails, or like the chaos before it was divided. The scroll is made of neither gold nor jade, and it feels warm to the touch. There are faint energy ripples on the surface, like watermarks, slowly rippling, exuding a grand artistic conception that carries the ultimate principles of heaven Supreme Principle, the creation and destruction of life.
The other scroll was a pure, deep blue-green, with a clear, bright hue, like the sky after rain.
Its texture is quite peculiar, resembling the leather of some ancient Magical Beasts, or a specially refined silk, thin yet tough, giving one an extremely light and agile feeling. If you listen carefully, you can almost hear the faint sounds of wind and thunder emanating from inside the scroll, seemingly containing ultimate speed and explosive power.
After a moment's thought, Lin Ming decided to start with the mysterious scroll that exuded an aura of creation. He extended his finger, a wisp of pure Soul Power swirling around his fingertip, and gently touched the axis of the mysterious scroll.
"Buzz!"
The scroll seemed to be infused with a soul, trembling slightly and emitting a clear, melodious sound. Then, without any external force, it slowly unfurled on its own, revealing a strange scene that was not text, but composed of countless patterns of light.
In an instant, a vast and complex stream of information, like a river bursting its banks, surged into Lin Ming's mind.
On the unfolded scroll, the mysterious light patterns intertwined and transformed rapidly, evolving into blurry yet enchanting Human Form figures composed of energy.
These light and shadow effects vary in form, but their core lies in martial arts!
Between the opening and closing of their fists, some were fierce and unparalleled, their fist wind tearing through the void with an indomitable and domineering force; others were supple and enduring, their fist intent as fine as silk threads, wrapping around and dissipating force, containing the mystery of using four ounces to deflect a thousand pounds; still others were a combination of the orthodox and the unorthodox, changing between the real and the illusory, making them impossible to defend against.
Each punch seemed to resonate with and converge the surrounding Heaven and Earth Energy, layering its power, making it incredibly profound and ever-changing!
"Earth Tier Peak-grade Dou Technique - Creation Fist!"
This information stream not only contains textual formulas, but also contains a unique "meaning"—a profound understanding of creation, the flow of power, and the essence of boxing!
A crystal-clear introduction appeared in Lin Ming's mind like a brand.
This boxing style is not an ordinary killing technique, but rather it is derived from a profound understanding of the creation of heaven and earth and the birth and death of all things. The boxing intent is grand and far-reaching, emphasizing the use of fists to control qi and intention to guide energy.
When mastered to the highest level, a single punch can directly resonate with the Heaven and Earth Energy within a certain radius, transforming it into one's own power. Its power is astonishing and can be considered the most outstanding among Earth Tier Dou Technique, enough to serve as the treasure of many powerful forces!
However, what made Lin Ming's heart skip a beat and his eyes light up with unbelievable surprise was not the evaluation of being at the Earth Tier Peak-grade, but rather a line of extremely inconspicuous small print at the end of the scroll's information, which looked like a casual note:
"Note: If this fist technique is further refined with Heaven and Earth Rare Item such as 'Gold Spirit Saliva' to make the fist bones and meridians more in harmony with the essence of creation, it may be able to draw upon an Origin Power creation contained within the fist technique, causing its power to undergo Qualitative Change... comparable to a quasi- Heaven Tier Dou Technique!"
"Quasi-Heaven Tier?!"
A surge of overwhelming joy welled up in Lin Ming's heart, almost making him cry out in surprise!
"Unbelievable! Unbelievable! This scroll, which seems to be just a 'prize', actually hides such a huge secret! A fist Dou Technique that has the potential to reach the Quasi-Heaven Tier!"
It should be noted that although the term "Quasi-Heaven Tier" has the word "quasi" in it, its power has far surpassed the realm of the Earth Tier Peak-grade and has touched the threshold of the Heaven Tier!
Its value may not be as high as a true Heaven Tier Dou Technique, but it is worlds apart from an ordinary Earth Tier Peak-grade —enough to drive countless Dou Zun expert crazy!
Moreover, regarding the rare refining material mentioned in the notes—"Gold Spirit Saliva"—isn't that the same dark golden mysterious liquid he previously integrated into his right palm in order to cultivate the "Great Heaven Creation Palm"?!
So, Lin Ming immediately raised his hands instinctively and looked intently at it.
Originally, the tempering of this "Gold Spirit Saliva" was to better bear the terrifying and unparalleled destructive power of the "Great Heaven Creation Palm," and it was a necessary prerequisite for cultivating Heaven Tier Dou Technique.
Unexpectedly, this turned out to be a lucky accident, perfectly fulfilling the demanding conditions for cultivating the highest level of the "Creation Fist" and unleashing its Quasi-Heaven Tier power!
This is practically tailor-made for him! Is it fate's arrangement or an unintentional coincidence? In any case, it means that he no longer needs to go through the trouble of searching for the Gold Spirit Saliva, this rare refining material, and can directly begin cultivating this incredibly powerful Quasi-Heaven Tier fist technique!
"Hahaha! This is truly heaven's help! This is double happiness!" Lin Ming couldn't help but chuckle.
His face, which had been slightly pale from the immense exertion of cultivating the Great Heaven Creation Palm, was now flushed with joy, his mood reaching its peak.
A fist Dou Technique with power reaching the Quasi-Heaven Tier is of immeasurable value, enough to give him a powerful trump card in close combat that can turn the tide of battle!
Unexpectedly, the first of the two scrolls, the prize, was far more valuable than he had anticipated!
The fact that he obtained a near- Heaven Tier Dou Technique as his first skill instantly excited Lin Ming.
In a short while, he suppressed the strong urge to immediately begin to comprehend and practice the "Creation Fist" and turned his burning gaze to the dark blue scroll floating to the side.
Having experienced the immense surprise of the previous scroll, Lin Ming was filled with even greater anticipation for this seemingly "second choice" scroll.
So Lin Ming immediately followed suit, carefully injecting a wisp of Soul Power into the dark blue scroll.
"Sizzle--!"
The scroll unfurled with a swift and agile motion, creating a completely different atmosphere.
That was the unbridled freedom of the wind, and the violent swiftness of the thunder!
On the scroll, streams of cyan light flowed rapidly as if alive, outlining blurry yet powerful leg silhouettes.
These leg shadows are unpredictable: sometimes they are like a swift gust of wind, leaving only a faint blue trace in the air, so fast that they seem to be able to travel thousands of miles in an instant; sometimes they are like a dragon swinging its tail, with leg movements that are so powerful and fierce that they seem to compress and explode the air with a muffled sonic boom; and sometimes they are like willow catkins in the wind, drifting erratically, their trajectory unpredictable, full of eerie and agile beauty.
"Earth Tier High-grade Dou Skill - Profound Green Leg!"
As the relevant information flooded his mind, a hint of surprise flashed across Lin Ming's eyes again, which then turned into a genuine smile of satisfaction.
Although this Dou Technique is clearly classified as Earth Tier High-grade and does not possess the astonishing potential to reach the Quasi-Heaven Tier like the "Creation Fist," it has extremely practical, even perfect, characteristics—it can be used for both offense and escape, combining movement and attack in one!
