Trying Out His Blade

As time passed, those surviving powerhouses on the Outer Region Battlefield had all spent thousands or tens of thousands of years fighting their way through the world, while Lu Yan'an had been wandering the Yuanming Continent for a hundred years in the blink of an eye.

A Years...

Lu Yan'an went out hunting and fighting hundreds of times. At first, Lu Yan'an usually hunted down those Marquis Level Alien Race immortals on his own. But gradually, Lu Yan'an's reputation spread, and the Alien Race powerhouses on the Yuanming Continent passed on information to each other, all knowing that there was a "human with the strength of Feng Wang who shamelessly hunted down Feng Hou."

"Damn humans! If they have the strength to Feng Wang, why bother hunting down Feng Hou?"

"Absolutely shameless!"

"Asshole."

"Those Feng Wang should compete in the inner layers of the Yuanming Continent! What's the point of coming to the outer layers to bully us Feng Hou?"

In the past, the Immortal God of the Alien Race on the Yuanming Continent acted in pairs or groups of three.

However, as Lu Yan'an's reputation for "shamelessly Feng Wang" spread, he also aroused public outrage in the Feng Hou circle on the outer edge of the Yuanming Continent! This group of powerful Feng Hou had been lording it over people on the outer edge of the Yuanming Continent, but with Lu Yan'an's arrival, they never had a peaceful day again.

Then--

The Alien Race Marquis Immortal on the outer edge of the Yuanming Continent began to unite, merging two groups into one, with four or five Immortal God together, or six or seven. In this way, even if they encountered Lu Yan'an, they would be able to overpower Lu Yan'an. And once Lu Yan'an started close combat, they would all rather burn their Immortal Divine Body and flee frantically!

This also led to Lu Yan'an's military achievements decreasing over time.

Lu Yan'an sighed at the time, "The Immortal God are truly not fools. Now that I have appeared... I am suddenly attacked by four, five, six or seven Marquis Immortal joining forces. Moreover, seeing that the situation was not good, they all preferred to burn their Immortal Divine Body and escape. They all fled at almost the speed of light. I couldn't catch up with them, and it was very difficult for me to hunt down even one of the Marquis Immortal."

"Fortunately, I'm on the outer layer of the Yuanming Continent. My goal is to hone myself, and accumulating military merits is secondary. The more Marquis Immortal I attain, the better I can hone myself."

Every battle.

Those were all life-or-death battles. Those Alien Race were afraid of losing their lives at any moment, so they fought desperately, which allowed Lu Yan'an to gain a lot from the battles.

In the silent cave, a faint mist permeated the air.

Lu Yan'an sat cross-legged in meditation, his consciousness already connected to the Virtual Universe, where he was studying sword techniques in his own training ground in the Original District.

He stood floating in space, wielding the Ningfeng Blade, repeatedly unleashing his sword techniques, while countless Immortal Expert charged towards him! Although in terms of pure strength they were merely ordinary immortals, not even reaching the level of military lords, the Law Domain they unleashed were not to be underestimated.

Starfall! Moonlight Radiance! Heavenly Radiance! And a new move he's been developing over the years— Meng Yun!

The blade flashed, one move after another, the sword strikes continuous and relentless, even tearing apart the surrounding space!

One after another, Ordinary Immortal met their end under Lu Yan'an's Ningfeng Blade; the slaughter continued.

"Wrong."

"Something feels off." Lu Yan'an waved his hand and shouted, "Freeze!" All the countless Immortal Experts who had been charging forward froze in place, after all, this was just a simulation in the training ground.

Lu Yan'an walked among the frozen immortals, his brow furrowed in thought, "When I killed those two immortals before, I felt that my swordsmanship still had flaws, or rather... it hadn't reached the limit of what I could currently achieve with my Law Comprehension."

As soon as he had a thought, another figure of Lu Yan'an quietly appeared.

"Starfall!" Lu Yan'an unleashed his power, and instantly, the blood-red War Blade activated the simulated Universe Origin within the Virtual Universe. Countless golden threads intertwined, and the Time Fusion Law to display a perfect form, generating an overwhelming pressure.

"This is the perfect secret technique."

He looked up at the perfect form of the Time Fusion Law flowing in mid-air! Even though it was only the first move, even though it was only the simplest way of driving the law, it was still so perfect, and the blade light it unleashed even possessed a powerful aura!

Perfect!

"When I used my sword technique, although the Time Fusion Law flowed, there was no pressure, and I couldn't even perfectly combine them." Lu Yan'an shook his head inwardly. "Perhaps the strength of this secret technique is quite exquisite compared to ordinary Marquis Immortal, but compared to the secret techniques recorded in the Zhou Guang Yan Lun, it is too rudimentary. How can I improve? How can I break through?"

He stood there silently, his gaze fixed on the simulated Universe Origin in the Virtual Universe, looking up at the Time Fusion Law that floated in mid-air, radiating a powerful aura.

"Breakthrough."

Where should we break through?

"My own close combat ability is Zhou Guang Yan Lun. But in terms of the compatibility of these secret techniques, no matter how lofty their intentions are, they cannot compare to the secret techniques I created myself!" Lu Yan'an kept watching the perfectly combined Time Fusion Law in mid-air, vaguely seeming to touch upon something, but always feeling like he was trying to find flowers in the fog.

Time passed.

Lu Yan'an pondered deeply, working on his swordsmanship and the Time Fusion Law that was perfectly combined before him. In fact, swordsmanship and the Fusion Laws were two completely independent things. The task of cultivators was to perfectly interpret these two completely independent things by relying on certain commonalities.

Of course, all of this had to be created by Lu Yan'an. In the first 100 years, Lu Yan'an had already achieved a minor mastery of the sword technique, but with each battle, Lu Yan'an felt that his sword technique was still not perfect enough, and even his understanding of the Time Fusion Law was flawed, making it impossible for him to unleash the full power of the secret technique.

"Once it's perfect."

"The power of this sword technique, especially the first move 'Starfall,' is far beyond the level of the 16th floor of the Tongtian Bridge. In addition, this is a secret technique that I created specifically for myself, so its suitability is beyond question!"

"Young Lu, we've discovered a team of Immortal God ten million kilometers away. Ten Immortal God are advancing in your direction!"

"Ten Immortal God? And judging from their appearance, they're coming for me?" A hint of excitement flashed in Lu Yan'an's eyes. "This is probably the first time in the hundred years since I started testing my sword that someone has taken the initiative to come to me. I just don't know how strong they are yet."

The voice of the Lord Shen echoed in the control room, "Anyone without some strength would dare to come looking for you? I estimate that these 10 Immortal God are all at the Marquis Level!"

Moment--

"It's confirmed! The intensity of this gathered energy reaction is at the level of a Feng Hou!" the Lord Shen continued.

"It's barely enough for me to test my swordsmanship, but something stronger would be better," Lu Yan'an said. "My Lord Shen, please continue exploring."

Moment--

"Wow, they're moving incredibly fast! It's only 5 million kilometers away, kid Lu, isn't that a bit too much?" Even the Lord Shen hesitated. "You've only ever dealt with six Feng Hou at most before, and this time there are ten of them. I'm afraid you might really be caught off guard!"

"5 million kilometers?" Lu Yan'an looked down at the detection data displayed on the screen of the arm guard.

"Oh?"

"There needs to be some pressure when testing the waters. Ten Feng Hou are about right! They're the ones." Lu Yan'an's eyes burned with fighting spirit.

"Yes!" the Lord Shen replied loudly.

Boom!

Lu Yan'an traveled light, and his spaceship quickly flew towards the direction where the 10 Feng Hou had arrived.

About an hour later, his spaceship finally approached the ship carrying the ten immortals. Judging by the detection equipment Lu Yan'an was using... it was clear that the group hadn't noticed Lu Yan'an's approach at all. They remained gathered together, discussing the battle, their comrades and allies, and their Law Comprehension. As for why they were able to pinpoint Lu Yan'an's location so accurately, it was likely because among the spoils they had previously acquired were tokens that could continuously reveal their location.
