Cultivation Methods from Another World Attract Heroes (2)

The spatial rift in the starry sky continued to widen slowly. The edges of the black fissure were rimmed with a distorted halo, as if it would devour the entire starry sky the very next second. The Soul Masters in front of the light screen had fallen silent long ago, their breathing becoming cautious—the power of that Nirvana Finger had already surpassed their entire understanding of "power."

Tang Hao of the Clear Sky Sect clenched his Clear Sky Hammer tightly. The patterns on the hammer's body lit up due to the surging Soul Power, but his hands trembled slightly. As a former genius of the Clear Sky Sect, he considered his grandfather Tang Chen's "Exploding Ring," which could shatter mountains with a single punch, to be the strongest power he had ever witnessed. Compared to the Nirvana Finger, however, it was merely a child's swing. "If this Combat Skill were to appear on the Douluo Continent..." Tang Hao dared not think further, a chill running down his spine. The destruction of half the continent would not be an exaggeration. With the power of that light pillar just now, even sacred lands like Sea God Island and the Star Dou Great Forest would instantly turn to nothingness.

Yu Yuanzhen of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's face was pale, the lightning Soul Power around him in chaotic disarray. He had always taken pride in the lightning power of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, believing it to be the strongest elemental force on the continent. Yet, the black light pillar of the Nirvana Finger could easily devour lightning. In the image just now, several stars emitting lightning light had turned into stardust without the slightest resistance after coming into contact with the light pillar. "This isn't power... this is disaster," Yu Yuanzhen muttered to himself, the greed in his eyes replaced by fear. He suddenly felt how ridiculous his previous actions were.

Di Tian of the Star Dou Great Forest transformed into human form and stood at the edge of the light screen, the Titan Giant Ape and Sky Azure Bull Python behind him tense. As guardians of the Star Dou Forest, they had once believed they could resist any human force. However, the power of the Nirvana Finger made Di Tian feel despair for the first time. If Lin Yue wanted to attack the Star Dou Forest, he could destroy the entire forest with a single move. "We must establish a good relationship with the auction house as soon as possible."

Di Tian made a firm resolution in his heart, "Even if we have to pay more Soul Beast Inner Cores, we must ensure that Lady Gu Yuena stays far away from such danger."

Inside the Pope's Palace of the Martial Soul Hall, Bibi Dong's black Soul Power had gone out of control, causing cracks to appear in the stone pillars within the hall. She stared at the spatial rift in the Soul Guiding Crystal, the madness in her eyes gradually fading, replaced by an almost humble longing. "Surpassing gods... so power can reach this level." Bibi Dong slowly sat down, the armrest of the Pope's scepter being crushed into powder. "Ghost Douluo, prepare immediately—send all of the Martial Soul Hall's Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones, Soul Beast Inner Cores, and the Worship Hall's Angel Tear Crystals to the auction house. Tell Lin Yue that if he is willing to teach Heaven Tier Combat Skills, the Martial Soul Hall is willing to submit to him and become his puppet on the Douluo Continent."

Ghost Douluo's expression changed, and he quickly tried to dissuade her, "Your Holiness, the Martial Soul Hall is the continent's foremost power. How can we submit to another?"

"Submit?" Bibi Dong sneered, a ruthless glint flashing in her eyes. "If we can't even protect our lives, what's the point of talking about power? Do you think, with Lin Yue's strength, how long would it take him to unify the continent? A day? Or an hour? All we can do now is cling to him to survive!" Ghost Douluo fell silent. He knew Bibi Dong was telling the truth—the power of the Nirvana Finger was no longer something that "power" could contend with; it was a strength that even gods could not reach.

In the Worship Hall, Qian Daoliu put down the Angel Sacred Sword. The golden light surrounding him receded, revealing his aged face. He walked to the window and gazed at the distant starry sky, his eyes filled with confusion. Having lived for several hundred years, he had always taken pride in "approaching godhood," even believing he could surpass gods. However, the appearance of the Nirvana Finger had completely shattered his pride. "So, the gods of the Douluo Continent are so insignificant in the face of power from another world."

In the plaza, someone suddenly knelt down with a thud, kowtowing towards the light screen, "Lord Lin Yue! Please teach us your Combat Skills! I am willing to be your ox or horse!" Immediately after, more and more Soul Masters knelt down, some for power, some for survival. The plaza was instantly filled with the sound of kowtowing and pleas.

Meanwhile, in a private room on the second floor of the auction house, Lin Yue watched the scene on the light screen, a faint smile appearing on his lips. Mo Chen stood beside him and said respectfully, "Master, all the major powers have completely submitted now. We can begin the auction of the Heaven Tier Combat Skills."

Lin Yue shook his head, his gaze drifting out the window. "No rush. Let them feel a little longer what true power is." With that, he raised his hand and pointed at the light screen. The figure in the starry sky moved again. This time, he extended two fingers, and two points of black light condensed at his fingertips, brighter and more solid than before.

The Soul Masters in front of the light screen instantly held their breath, even their kowtowing ceasing as they stared intently at the screen. Bibi Dong, Qian Daoliu, Tang Hao, and others clenched their fists, their hearts pounding.

The figure gently flicked his hand, and the two points of black light transformed into two beams of light, shooting towards the sides of the starry sky.

"Boom—!"

Wherever the two beams of light passed, stars shattered in swathes, and spatial rifts continuously expanded, eventually connecting to form a colossal rift spanning hundreds of miles. Within the rift, black energy continuously overflowed, devouring even light itself. The entire starry sky seemed to transform into a colossal black hole.

"This... this move could destroy the entire Douluo Continent!" a Titled Douluo said with a trembling voice, filled with despair.

In the plaza, the sounds of kowtowing and pleading grew louder, with some Soul Masters even bursting into tears. They finally understood that in the face of absolute power, the so-called "strong," "powers," and "gods" were nothing more than fleeting phantoms. And Lin Yue, who could wield such power, was the true "god"—an existence even more terrifying than a god.

In the plaza, all the Soul Masters were immersed in shock, their breathing becoming cautious. Yellow Tier Combat Skills could allow Soul Elders to challenge Soul Ancestors across levels, Mysterious Tier Combat Skills could double the strength of Titled Douluo, Earth Tier Combat Skills could shatter mountains, and Heaven Tier Combat Skills could shatter stars—these were not merely "cultivation methods," they were "divine artifacts" capable of changing one's destiny!

Just then, a gentle yet extremely penetrating voice came from the black jade main building of the auction house, instantly spreading throughout the entire plaza and pulling the Soul Masters back from their shock to reality. "Everyone need not panic. Although the Combat Skills are powerful, they also have corresponding cultivation requirements."

Everyone turned their heads towards the source of the voice. They saw Lin Yue, clad in a moon-white robe, walking slowly out of the main building. The folding fan in his hand swayed gently, and a faint smile graced his face, as if the mind-bending Combat Skills from just now were merely ordinary matters.

"The cultivation of Combat Skills requires a foundation of 'Battle Qi.' As for the cultivation methods for Battle Qi, the auction house will later launch a 'Cultivation Method Ranking' that will detail the cultivation requirements for Combat Skills, the necessary resources, and their acquisition methods. Furthermore, some low-tier Combat Skill scrolls will be auctioned at the monthly large-scale auctions. Both Yellow Tier and Mysterious Tier Combat Skills can be exchanged through points or rare resources."
