Burning Universe Space-Splitting Slash

This star region was originally a prosperous galaxy, but through endless eons of inter-ethnic warfare, all the stars have been shattered, leaving behind only a vast battlefield about eight light-years in diameter, densely packed with countless stellar fragments.

"This place is just right."

Lu Ming nodded slightly.

With no King-Level Immortals present and only a small number of Marquis-Level ones, he would basically face no fatal danger here. He could hunt Immortal spirits in peace to accumulate military merits and resources while honing himself.

"I'll choose this place. Departing immediately!"

Lu Ming made his decision.

"Hum!"

The streamlined Meteor Shuttle carved a graceful arc through the starry sky.

"Accelerate, enter the Dark Universe!"

Lu Ming commanded.

"Understood, Master!"

The next second, the Meteor Shuttle began to accelerate, instantly reaching the speed of light, vanishing directly from the original universe and entering the Dark Universe.

Azure Kite quickly calculated the travel time: "Master, we have entered the Dark Universe. We are expected to arrive at the Yungu Star Belt in five days."

"Five days."

Lu Ming nodded, then closed his eyes to rest.

At the same time, he began to silently evaluate his current level of strength.

In terms of law comprehension, he had long since gained the recognition of the Fire Origin Law, and his understanding of the Space Law was also extremely deep; in terms of law comprehension alone, he had already reached the Immortal level.

More importantly, he possessed a Hundredfold Gene level, giving him a foundation of power that far exceeded that of an ordinary Sector Lord.

In terms of equipment, he had the Yan Kong Blade and Dark Star Armor, both strengthened through sacrifice, as well as the G-grade Meteor Shuttle and the Sky Patrol Eye, which possessed an astonishing detection range.

As for his trump cards, Little Thunder, who possessed peak King-Level combat power, was his greatest reliance, and the ten Fire God Source Crystals with peak King-Level destructive power were veritable weapons of mass destruction.

"Overall, my conventional combat power should barely rival an entry-level Marquis. With Little Thunder, I am capable of suppressing or even killing a high-level King, rivaling a peak King. Combined with the Fire God Source Crystals, even a peak King would have to steer clear."

However, Lu Ming was well aware that one could not rely too heavily on external objects on the Outer-Domain Battlefield.

His focus for upcoming cultivation would be, on one hand, to continue deepening the fusion of the Fire and Space laws.

Perfecting the Nine Absolute Blades of Ember Universe; on the other hand, he needed to seek an opportunity to attempt a breakthrough to Immortality.

"Five days—just enough time to meditate and gain some insights."

Lu Ming calmed his mind and began to immerse himself in the comprehension of laws.

Yet, as Lu Ming immersed himself in his insights, his thoughts were not entirely at peace.

He reviewed his previous battle with Rock Wolf Immortal. Although he had successfully slain him by relying on the ninth blade of the Nine Absolute Blades of Ember Universe, he could feel that this set of blade techniques seemed to have reached a bottleneck.

While the power of the ninth blade was indeed formidable, it relied more on the foundation of his own Hundredfold Gene level and his profound law comprehension to force it forward; the subtlety and potential of the blade technique itself seemed to have been exhausted.

The Nine Absolute Blades of Ember Universe is, after all, only a top-tier secret technique for those below the Immortal level. For me now, it is indeed falling short.

Lu Ming pondered in his heart.

If I want to better hone myself on the Outer-Domain Battlefield and deal with stronger Immortals, or even Marquis-Level beings, I need a more powerful secret technique.

His law comprehension was currently extremely high, and his gene level had reached a hundredfold. His foundational conditions were excellent; what he lacked was a powerful combat secret technique that could perfectly unleash these advantages.

With a thought, Lu Ming's consciousness sank into his body and looked at the system panel.

"System,"

Lu Ming chanted in his heart.

"Sacrifice my secret technique—the Nine Absolute Blades of Ember Universe!"

The moment the command was issued, Lu Ming felt all the insights, cultivation memories, and the artistic conception of the blade technique regarding the Nine Absolute Blades of Ember Universe in his mind being stripped away and extracted by an invisible force, transforming into streams of intangible light that surged into the mysterious vortex deep within the system.

[Ding! Sacrifice successful!]

[Calculating random multiplier return based on the value of the sacrificed item...]

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining a 9,600-fold return reward!]

[Reward generating...]

[Congratulations to the Host for obtaining: Peak-level absolute art, Burning Universe Space-Splitting Slash inheritance!]

Hum!

A torrent of information, far more vast, profound, and mysterious than the Nine Absolute Blades of Ember Universe, surged violently into the depths of Lu Ming's consciousness!

This information flow was so massive that if not for Lu Ming's powerful soul and resilient consciousness, he would likely have been rendered unconscious by the impact in an instant.

He seemed to see a magnificent scroll of the universe: an endless sea of fire burning the firmament. The scorching flames were no longer mere combustion, but had transformed into countless threads of fire containing the power of spatial cleavage. Each thread seemed capable of tearing the void, burning cracks into space itself!

The Fire Law and the Space Law were no longer simply cooperating; they had truly begun a fundamental fusion, deriving a more terrifying and domineering power of destruction!

Burning Universe Space-Splitting Slash—this was a peak-level absolute art that pointed directly toward the fusion of the Fire and Space laws! Its conceptual depth far exceeded that of the Nine Absolute Blades of Ember Universe.

It was no longer just a secret technique of the Immortal level, but a powerful inheritance that would allow a practitioner to use it all the way to the level of a Universe Venerable!

This ultimate technique is divided into nine levels.

The first three levels correspond to the World Lord realm through to ordinary Immortal Army Lords, requiring a profound comprehension of fire and space laws, as well as the ability to initially draw upon a trace of spatial cutting force to integrate into the flames.

The middle three levels correspond to Marquis-Level Immortals, forming a unique "Burning Space Force" that causes the power to skyrocket.

The final three levels correspond to King-Level Immortals and even Universe Venerables; every single blade strike contains the immense power to incinerate the heavens, boil the seas, split the void, and shatter the universe!

The stream of information contained not only the complete cultivation method, force-application techniques, and law guidance, but also a trace of conceptual inheritance—a domineering will that burns everything to ash, capable of tearing even the cosmic space asunder!

Lu Ming absorbed this inherited information, intoxicated and enthralled, an indescribable excitement and joy surging within his heart.

This Burning Universe Space-Splitting Slash was practically tailor-made for him!

He already possessed immense talent in fire and space laws, and now that he had obtained this peak ultimate technique that pointed directly toward fusion laws, his path ahead had suddenly become clear!

"Nine thousand six hundred times return... it directly upgraded a top-tier secret technique from below the immortal level into a peak ultimate technique capable of being used at the Universe Venerable level!"

Lu Ming was shocked to his core.

"The system has truly never disappointed me!"

He hesitated no longer, immediately immersing his entire mind into the comprehension and cultivation of the first level of the Burning Universe Space-Splitting Slash.

The Burning Universe Space-Splitting Slash was derived from the Nine Absolute Blades of Ember Universe, and he had already cultivated the Nine Absolute Blades of Ember Universe to perfection.

Now, entering the threshold of this Burning Universe Space-Splitting Slash was quite effortless.

Furthermore, he had the comprehension boost granted by the system.

Five days should be more than enough to complete the cultivation of the first level.

The first three levels posed no difficulty at all.

Five days passed in the blink of an eye as Lu Ming immersed himself heart and soul into the cultivation of the Burning Universe Space-Splitting Slash.

When the Meteor Shuttle gave a slight tremor, transitioning from the Dark Universe back into the original universe, Lu Ming slowly opened his eyes.

Deep within his pupils, two tiny flames seemed to be dancing, and the space surrounding the flames was faintly distorted—a sign that he had mastered the first level of the Burning Universe Space-Splitting Slash and begun to draw upon a trace of spatial force to combine with his flames.

After five days of arduous practice, relying on the solid foundation of his previously perfected Nine Absolute Blades of Ember Universe and the profound insights brought by the system's inheritance, Lu Ming had successfully completed the first level of the Burning Universe Space-Splitting Slash.

He was confident that if he were to face an opponent of Rock Wolf Immortal's caliber now, he would not need Little Thunder to intervene; he could resolve the fight even more easily with this newly mastered blade technique alone.
