Ju Hua had first comprehended the Extinction Style, Floating Shadow Style, Sky Piercing Style, Origin Sword Style, and Yin-Yang Style—the Five Great Dao of the Strongest—and only then comprehended the Ultimate Dao of the Sword.
Therefore, if Ju Hua's Ultimate Dao of the Sword was to break through, the five Sword Styles had to advance first. Only then could he fuse them into an Ultimate Dao of the Sword at a higher level.
Earlier, Ju Hua's true body had fought a fierce battle with Dao Lord Bing Li. Afterward, his second primordial spirit had continued comprehending the Dao on the way to the Asking Dao Palace. By now, the Origin Sword Style had already broken through first, while the Extinction Style was only a step away.
However, the Origin Sword Style's breakthrough hadn't affected his strength much. Otherwise, Ju Hua wouldn't still be evenly matched with Dao Lord Qi Wu and the other two.
Ju Hua understood perfectly well that there was only one way to crush the three with sheer strength: advance all five Sword Styles to a higher level, then fuse them into an Ultimate Dao of the Sword at a higher level.
The second level of the Ultimate Dao of the Sword would let him defeat Dao Lord Qi Wu and the others with ease.
"If we keep fighting like this, a hundred years from now, I'll only be able to defeat one of them and get a hundred thousand Black Crystal Stones. But if I break through, I can get three hundred thousand directly!" Ju Hua considered. He was perfectly clear about the situation.
But Ju Hua also knew that if he devoted himself to breaking through now and still hadn't succeeded a hundred years later, he might not get even half a Black Crystal Stone!
