The Initial Universe, as the base camp of the human race, frequently sees spaceships coming and going through the cosmic channel. Qin Cang, having cultivated here for three thousand years, was about to leave Chaos City.
Walking along the streets of Chaos City, Qin Cang took one last look at this ancient city. It looked no different from the times he had visited before, but in his gut, he felt something was off, though he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
Ultimately, after Pato checked the schedules, it was decided that he would take a spaceship today and leave Chaos City via the cosmic channel.
On the way to the cosmic channel, Qin Cang saw a reception envoy leading a group of Universe-level youngsters toward the City Lord Mansion.
"Is it time for the Genius Tournament to end again? The company has absorbed another batch of little ones."
Without paying much attention, Qin Cang knew that everything here had nothing to do with him for the time being. All he had to do now was make the trillions of races in the universe tremble at the mention of his name.
"Let's go. Let the entire universe remember the name Qin Cang!"
Qin Cang entered the spaceship.
Beep!
The cabin door officially closed. "Rumble~~~" The spaceship began to charge into the depths of the chaotic airflow.
Primal Secret Region, Wuchen Spacetime, Manor No. 101.
Qin Cang picked up the equipment he had purchased here. It had to be said, the efficiency of the Virtual Universe Company was truly high.
Having just emerged from the Initial Universe less than three days ago, the equipment Qin Cang needed—including two detectors, one large and one small, as well as a Grade G claw-type force weapon—had already been delivered to the manor.
During these three days, Qin Cang had been practicing two sets of claw techniques in the Killing Field of the virtual universe: Shattered Shadow and Seven Kills of Burning Sky. Among them, Shattered Shadow was a claw technique based purely on the laws of space, so it was naturally not difficult for Qin Cang to pick up.
Moreover, after using the claw-type weapon, Qin Cang felt that although it didn't have the same level of synergy as his spear, it was still quite handy. Especially for the Yan God Clan, who favored close-quarters combat, claw-type weapons were definitely a good choice for the future.
Unfortunately, the human race did not have many masters of claw techniques. The Demon Race had the most experts skilled in using claws; after all, when the Demon Race was weak, their best weapons were naturally the parts of their own bodies, such as claws, teeth, horns, wings, and so on.
The human race, however, had a much broader development of weapons like blades, swords, spears, halberds, hammers, and axes. There was even a Chaos Stele corresponding to blade techniques, the Heart Trace Chaos Stele, which expounded the laws through blade techniques with extreme profundity. Blood Blade King was one of the grandmasters of the Heart Trace Chaos Stele lineage.
As for axe-type weapons, there was no need to even mention them; the mere existence of the Giant Axe Founder and the Giant Axe Coliseum was enough to show how popular axe-type weapons were among the human race.
However, only fist-type and claw-type weapons had always been lukewarm in the human race, with no decent experts emerging. At the very least, among the Venerables Qin Cang currently knew, none used fists or claws as their primary weapons.
Even for Shattered Shadow and Seven Kills of Burning Sky, judging by their price alone, one could tell that these were not claw techniques created by Venerables, but secret techniques created by two Kings. In terms of the classification of secret techniques, they only belonged to the peak level.
However, for Qin Cang, these things were of little consequence. After all, he didn't really have the intention of using claw-type weapons for the long term; he mostly just didn't want the Huangyan Claw, a Heavy Treasure, to go to waste.
Qin Cang also couldn't understand why he had been gifted such a Heavy Treasure set as the Huangyan Battle Armor, and why the weapon included was the Huangyan Claw—a claw-type weapon he wasn't familiar with. Did the human treasury not have any other Heavy Treasures suitable for him?
Still, since it had been gifted, free things were not to be refused. It was just a claw technique; he could learn it, and it wasn't entirely without benefits.
Once he entered the Outer-Region Battlefield, using claw techniques might serve as a decent way to disguise his identity.
After all, how could someone who was clearly a spear-user suddenly start using claw techniques?
Because the creators were only at the level of Kings, these two claw techniques were not difficult for Qin Cang, but it was impossible to master them completely in a short time.
Of course, no matter how profound a secret technique was, in the end, one had to create their own. Only the secret techniques one created themselves were the most suitable, allowing one to exert their combat power to the maximum extent.
For Qin Cang, these two claw techniques were merely a catalyst. The most important thing was to find his own path of claw techniques within them, just as he had done when learning spear techniques back then.
"The profundity of Seven Kills of Burning Sky might not be comparable to Shattered Shadow, but this Seven Kills of Burning Sky actually contains a trace of the aura of a Beast God. Or rather, this is a set of secret techniques realized by a King-level expert based on the Fire-Space Beast God."
As he imitated and studied it over and over again, Qin Cang finally discovered something wrong: this Seven Kills of Burning Sky actually contained the artistic conception of a Beast God?
Although this Beast God artistic conception was very faint, it was indeed the pure Beast God artistic conception he had been searching for so desperately.
Back when he first transmigrated into this world, Qin Cang knew of the existence of the Beast God Path. Whether the Beast God Path or the Spacetime Path was stronger or weaker, Qin Cang was not qualified to judge. After all, in Qin Cang's heart, the myriad Great Daos all led to the same destination. The Beast God Path had birthed many experts, and the Spacetime Path had likewise birthed a group of big shots who shook the universe.
However, the most important thing in pursuing the Beast God Path was to imitate the Beast God's artistic conception. And how to imitate it was nothing more than learning what the Beast God did, or watching Beast God statues and attempting to copy them over and over again.
Luo Feng had relied on the Beast God statue obtained from Xueluo World, the holy stele left by Shirodo, the giant Beast God statue, and so on, to imitate them repeatedly, making rapid progress in the Beast God Path.
When Qin Cang was pursuing the Beast God Path back then, he was also troubled by not being able to find any path to the Beast God. In the end, he temporarily put the Beast God Path aside and focused his mind entirely on excavating the laws of space and spear techniques.
"Could it be that when I sparred with my senior brother, I revealed a trace of my talent for fusion laws, and that is why the race finally gifted me the Huangyan Battle Armor and gave me the Huangyan Claw—a weapon I had almost never touched—thereby forcing me to find the secret technique Seven Kills of Burning Sky and find the path to the Beast God?"
Qin Cang instantly felt he had found the answer. The race felt he had talent for the Beast God Path but didn't want to see him give up just like that, so they sent out such a Heavy Treasure, forcing him to look for secret techniques related to the Beast God Path again.
Qin Cang was left between laughter and tears. He didn't know how many people in the race practiced the Beast God Path, but he was certain it was extremely rare. Moreover, the Beast God Path had eight directions; the number of people per direction was even fewer. If he were to cling to the ethereal Beast God Path and not comprehend the laws of space, where he had the fastest progress, wouldn't that be losing the big for the small?
The Beast God Path could be comprehended at any time. At worst, he could wait until he reached the Immortal or even Venerable level to pursue the path of the Beast God.
