The Eightth Rank
"Let's take a look at what this Inheritance Space is all about." Lu Yan'an walked through the Inheritance Space.
This space wasn't large, but even at his speed, it took him a full year to traverse it. The dazzling sun, the deep black hole, the waterfall brimming with life energy, the silent desert, the withered rainstorm, a gushing spring, a well containing endless time and space, a black forest, a place where time stood still...
All sorts of wondrous sights, upon closer observation, reveal their terrifying and eerie aspects. Over the course of more than a year, Lu Yan'an traversed every corner of the entire Inheritance Space, witnessing all the strange scenes within.
"In total, I discovered over a thousand mysterious sights." Lu Yan'an pondered Xin Dao Ren's words and began to summarize, "Among them, no fewer than a hundred sights attracted me! According to Xin Dao Ren's previous words, these hundred sights are my entry point."
"If we rank them by attractiveness, there are three scenes that attract me the most, an overwhelming attraction," Lu Yan'an thought. "It seems my enlightenment will begin with these three scenes!"
"Whoosh!"
Lu Yan'an transformed into a streak of Flowing Light and sped towards the horizon. A moment later, he finally swooped down and landed on a high mountain.
Standing atop the mountain, he quietly gazed at a rushing river below.
The river surged ever stronger! The tributaries, converging from the mountains, grew increasingly terrifying, roaring deafeningly. Lu Yan'an could see with his naked eye that each 'water droplet' was a miniature planet! The 'river' formed by countless planets continued to grow, its momentum becoming more and more terrifying, until it finally crashed into a 'nothingness'. Occasionally, there were even scenes of planets being destroyed due to the collision!
Thump! Thump! Thump!
With each impact, this terrifying planetary river collapsed and vanished, leaving only a crystalline, thin stream of water that pierced through the 'nothingness' barrier, soaring into the sky, circling leisurely before returning to the river's source. Guided by this tiny stream, it set off again from its source.
Standing atop the mountain, Lu Yan'an could clearly see everything. This was one of the three sights that held immense appeal for him— the Star River!
"From the source, a tiny stream of water gradually gathers into more and more streams." Lu Yan'an's eyes could see every drop of water clearly, and he could see that these water droplets were "planet", and they were all modified planets, unlike normal planets.
"Starting from a single Origin, it grows ever stronger, gathering countless planets into its own body." Xin Lu Yan'an observed the appearance of each planet and the scene of countless tributaries converging, gaining more and more insights.
Time passed.
Lu Yan'an stood there observing for a thousand years without rest! The accumulated results of his extensive observations finally led to a qualitative change!
"So that's how it is! It's like a snowball rolling downhill; the snowball gets bigger and bigger as it rolls. The accumulated snow from before gathers and merges into the snowball, making it even stronger. This momentum is like the force of a blade, continuous and unstoppable!" Lu Yan'an exclaimed, watching the countless tributaries converge. "The sweeping and engulfing power of this planetary river has also increased exponentially! It even possesses a terrifying assimilation ability, making all the sub-bodies appear as a unified and harmonious whole! This isn't a river; it's clearly a long, sharp blade!"
Lu Yan'an felt a sudden sense of clarity, and his divine power spread out, circulating naturally around him, mimicking the endless flow of the Star River. In an instant, a sharp force erupted from Lu Yan'an's body!
The next moment, time and space shifted, and Lu Yan'an found himself in an unfamiliar place.
This is a Chaos world, with Chaos currents swirling below and darkness above, except for a single star that hangs in the sky, emitting light to illuminate the area below.
Boom... Suddenly, a flood of information rushed into Lu Yan'an's mind.
"What is this?" A very detailed sword manual appeared in his mind. This sword manual, called Heart-Mind Blade, was transmitted to Lu Yan'an's mind in one go, leaving Lu Yan'an somewhat dazed and his mind seemingly sluggish. It should be noted that the amount of information in each manual is enormous. Even with Lu Yan'an's Void Level willpower, it took more than half a month to transmit it all!
"Heart-Mind Blade?" Shaking his head slightly, Lu Yan'an composed himself and began to read.
"Wow, this is outrageous!" He was utterly astonished by what he saw! For a moment, Lu Yan'an could only blink blankly to calm his shock. "This Heart-Mind Blade isn't a detailed secret technique, but rather a Dao that transcends secret techniques! What's recorded within it doesn't improve my immediate combat power, but rather helps me create the most suitable sword Dao secret technique for myself!"
"During this long period of researching the Rhino Emperor Game's Formation, my comprehension has indeed greatly improved. If I were to create something, creating the Strongest Secret Technique should be quite easy. But creating an even stronger secret technique... is unlikely," Lu Yan'an said. "However, with the help of this Heart-Mind Blade, as long as my Law Comprehension is deep enough, even a tenth-order blade dao secret technique is not impossible to create!"
It's important to understand that the most suitable ultimate techniques are all created by oneself, which is why Lu Yan'an was so shocked! The appearance of the Heart-Mind Blade was equivalent to giving Lu Yan'an a perfect framework. He only needed to fill in this framework to create the most suitable secret techniques for his own swordsmanship. It was simply a perfect example of teaching someone how to fish!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Suddenly--
A bright star in the Dark Heaven suddenly burst into dazzling light, instantly attracting Lu Yan'an's attention.
"This is Law Pattern?" Lu Yan'an exclaimed in surprise.
The Law Pattern contain ultimate power, fusing all laws within them and revealing all ultimate mysteries! In the original story, City Lord Luo was fortunate enough to comprehend it through Duan Dong He's inheritance, and directly comprehended a True God Level sword technique as a Universe Venerable! Keep in mind that at that time, City Lord Luo's will was only at the True God stage!
"This is the foundation!" Lu Yan'an greedily Absorption the mysteries of the Law Pattern, instantly becoming completely absorbed! With the aid of the Heart-Mind Blade and the Law Pattern of this blade, the strength of his physical attacks will surely reach a new level!
His eyes were fixed on the Law Pattern, and the framework of the Heart-Mind Blade flashed through his mind. In a daze, he seemed to see the sword, vaguely formed by countless meteor rays in the central star, also moving... moving at his will...
This star, imbued with the Law Pattern, is like a supreme teacher, constantly instructing Lu Yan'an and enriching his foundation!
Lu Yan'an devoured the knowledge with great eagerness. Compared to these Law Pattern, all the other teachers paled in comparison. Those exquisite Law Pattern, resembling shooting stars, truly contained the ultimate secrets. Simply looking at them was a pleasure, constantly enhancing Lu Yan'an's understanding of the sword.
"Integration?"
"This is the true path that the Time Fusion Secret Technique should take." Lu Yan'an stretched out his hand, and the Ordinary Supreme Treasure longsword instantly appeared before him! "The newly created Lingxi, although it has reached the seventh level, has a terrible structure for the secret technique. Let's use it to give it a try!"
In the void, Lu Yan'an, holding a long sword horizontally, moved!
Wow...
Suddenly, wisps of hazy, Chaos energy appeared in mid-air, dreamlike and ethereal, instantly unleashing the essence of the Lingxi Rhinoceros technique. Following this, these hazy, Chaos energies reappeared in the form of threads... one thread leading to another, endlessly! Instantly, the void was filled with a vast expanse of dreamlike, ethereal threads imbued with the properties of Chaos energy. Moreover, the threads formed faster and faster, their power becoming increasingly terrifying, constantly erupting and growing stronger.
"Boom!"
These strands of Chaos energy, like mist, carried terrifying sharpness as they swept across the void, even tearing spacetime within it to shreds! Their swift and decisive power, seemingly intent on pulverizing everything, seemed to wipe it all away. These beautiful strands of Chaos energy, carrying the sharpness of a longsword, unleashed a terrifying power!
"This is truly an eighth-tier secret technique!"
