Secret Technique Sparring

Chaos City, after endless years, remains the same as it ever was. As the base camp and final stronghold of the Human Race, it has cultivated one powerhouse after another for the race, while also concealing countless core secrets of the Human Race.

Near the City Lord Mansion stands a small three-story building; this is the residence of the undefeated King Blood Blade, and also the temporary dwelling for Qin Cang during his three thousand years of cultivation in Chaos City.

Today, King Blood Blade had no lectures to give, so he dragged Qin Cang into the Virtual Universe for a sparring match instead.

This was one of the ways King Blood Blade provided guidance to Qin Cang: honing the effectiveness of actual combat.

The Virtual Universe, as a secret technique created by the Original Ancestor, can perfectly simulate law fluctuations and display secret techniques without a single flaw. It can even set up specific opponents tailored to the weaknesses in Qin Cang's techniques, helping him refine his skills and increase his strength.

In the universe, secret techniques are generally divided into five levels: "Unranked," "Ordinary," "Top-tier," "Peak," and "Ultimate."

Secret techniques created by ordinary World Lords and mediocre Immortal Gods belong to the "Unranked" level.

Most secret techniques created by Immortal Gods can only be considered "Ordinary" level.

Peerless geniuses at the World Lord level and Immortal Gods at the King level are capable of creating "Top-tier" level secret techniques. The spear technique Qin Cang created back when he was at the Domain Lord level was already extremely close to this level.

Above the "Top-tier" level, secret techniques created by one-in-ten-million World Lord-level super geniuses, the limit of King-level Immortals, undefeated Kings, and most ordinary Venerables can be called the "Peak" level.

Among them, the secret techniques created by King Blood Blade, King Snow Imperial, and King Gale all belong to this level.

Although the secret techniques created by Mi Hao Venerable also belong to the "Peak" level, they are undoubtedly more exquisite than those created by the trio of King Blood Blade, and are already extremely close to the "Ultimate" level.

As for true "Ultimate" secret techniques, Demon Wing Venerable has long since created several sets that suit him best; even his two clones have their own Ultimate secret techniques for their different combat styles. Within the "Ultimate" level, these can be considered extremely refined.

Although Senior Brother Golden Feather Venerable has also created his own Ultimate secret technique, he only has one style. Yet, relying on this single Ultimate secret technique, if Golden Feather Venerable could accumulate enough resources to exchange for a suitable treasure, he would have a great chance of reaching the Universe Overlord level. However, obtaining resources capable of being exchanged for treasures in ordinary Universe Secret Regions is a slow process; perhaps when the Primitive Stars open, he can go all-in, which would give him a great chance.

Currently, in these nearly two thousand years of cultivation, Qin Cang had long since begun to refine his own unique skills under the guidance of Demon Wing Venerable.

Demon Wing Venerable set up two thousand opponents for Qin Cang in the Virtual Universe, just as he had done for Luo Feng in the past.

If one can defeat 500, it means the secret technique belongs to the "Top-tier" level; if one defeats 1000, it means Qin Cang's secret technique has reached the "Peak" level; if one can defeat 2000 opponents, it means the secret technique has reached the "Ultimate" level.

Of course, besides these two thousand opponents, King Blood Blade looked at this junior brother and felt an itch to fight, dragging Qin Cang into the Virtual Universe every few days to spar, under the guise of checking his cultivation progress.

Just a short while ago, Qin Cang successfully defeated the 800th opponent set by Demon Wing Venerable, taking his unique skills to the next level. Upon learning this, King Blood Blade couldn't wait to drag Qin Cang into a match.

Naturally, King Blood Blade had long since created multiple sets of "Peak" secret techniques, especially famous for his movement and blade techniques. If he fought with full strength, it would seem like bullying the weak.

Therefore, in his matches with Qin Cang, King Blood Blade restricted the power of his unique skills to the level of someone who had also defeated 800 opponents, and set his divine body strength to 1000 times the power of a World Lord—the level of the most ordinary Marquis Immortal.

Virtual Universe, Killing Field.

At this moment, the Killing Field had already been simulated into an icy plain, where two figures stood facing each other.

One was dressed in black armor, holding a blood-red long blade; it was King Blood Blade.

The other was dressed in red armor, holding a blood-red long spear; it was Qin Cang.

The two exchanged no unnecessary words, opening immediately with their strongest killing moves.

The blood-red long blade in King Blood Blade's hand emitted endless blood-colored light, striking directly at Qin Cang. The blade light transformed into a sky full of blood shadows, enveloping Qin Cang within.

This was King Blood Blade's blade technique: the blade light turning into blood, as if wanting to devour everything. It corresponded to King Blood Blade's personality—domineering, straightforward, and decisive. When encountering an enemy, he would try every means to tear them apart completely. If one strike didn't work, he would use two; if two didn't work, he would use three, until the target was completely eliminated.

Facing this scene, Qin Cang did not sit and wait for death, but instead unleashed the unique skill he had created to defend himself.

He thrust his spear, and the surging flames transformed into a fiery dragon, charging toward the endless blood light. This was the ultimate manifestation of Qin Cang's comprehension of the Space Laws. Although the "Teleportation" branch of the Space Laws had the strongest life-saving ability, Qin Cang's favorite was still the "Strangulation" branch, and the secret techniques he had created had always focused on frontal combat.

This move, "Flame Radiance Breaking the Void," was what Qin Cang had used to pass the Domain Lord Level Primal Sky Mountain back when he was a Domain Lord. Now that he had broken through to the World Lord level, his comprehension of the laws had reached a higher level, and his secret technique had evolved from being close to "Top-tier" to a legitimate "Top-tier" technique that had defeated 800 opponents; its power was no longer what it once was.

The fiery dragon transformed into a surging river of flames, clashing against the endless blood light. For a time, the two were evenly matched, and the endless blood light and the river of flames slowly dissipated.

"Junior brother, not bad! We'll call this first move a draw. Now, for the second move!" King Blood Blade shouted in a low voice.

Speaking did not hinder his attack.

"Junior brother, my first move only incorporated the secret technique I created based on the 'Lockdown' branch of the Space Laws. This second move will add my insights into 'Strangulation' and 'Teleportation' on top of that. You'd better be careful."

Hearing this, Qin Cang dared not be careless. Although it was still a "Top-tier" secret technique that had defeated 800 opponents, the power of a technique created based on only one of the three branches versus one created from all three complete branches was naturally different.

Qin Cang really wanted to say, "A 'Top-tier' secret technique created from all three complete branches? Aren't you just creating this on the fly to trap me?"

But one cannot be distracted during battle. Qin Cang once again used his self-created unique skill to defend. This time, it was not "Flame Radiance Breaking the Void," but his second self-created secret technique, "Burning Shadow Shifting Void." It was also Qin Cang's strongest move to date. Although it was also a "Top-tier" secret technique that had defeated 800 opponents, this move was different from "Flame Radiance Breaking the Void." "Burning Shadow Shifting Void" was a "Top-tier" secret technique created with "Strangulation" as the core and "Teleportation" as a supplement. It was more complex than "Flame Radiance Breaking the Void," as it was a secret technique created with two branches as its core.

King Blood Blade's second move was similar to the first, but the endless blood light now transformed into thousands of blade shadows, slashing at Qin Cang one after another. The blood light locked off his retreat, and the blade light turned into a killing move, strike after strike, leaving Qin Cang unsure whether to defend or attack, putting him in an extremely passive position.
