The Eighth and Ninth Forms

[Nine God-Slaying Forms: currently mastered the first six forms (Mountain-Breaking, Sun-Piercing, River-Severing, City-Shattering, Blood-Weeping, Heaven-Splitting).]

[Further forms available to learn: Seventh Form · Soul-Slaying, Eighth Form · Dao-Reversal.]

[Learning Seventh Form · Soul-Slaying requires Kill Points: 8,000,000.]

[Learning Eighth Form · Dao-Reversal requires Kill Points: 10,000,000.]

Eighteen million! Together with the twenty million he had already spent upgrading his physique, that made thirty-eight million! Lin Ming's Kill Points instantly plummeted from over forty million to less than five million!

"Learn them!" Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Ming issued another command.

[Command confirmed. Kill Points consumed: 18,000,000. Beginning infusion of Seventh Form · Soul-Slaying and Eighth Form · Dao-Reversal...]

Two utterly different yet equally profound spear arts flooded Lin Ming's mind, granting him instant enlightenment.

The seventh form, Soul-Slaying, struck directly at the soul! It ignored physical defenses! It specifically countered enemies with powerful souls or special means of preserving their lives!

The eighth form, Dao-Reversal, reversed laws and distorted cause and effect! It was a divine skill that allowed the weak to defeat the strong! It could even turn an enemy's killing move back against them!

These two spear forms were entirely unlike the first six. They had moved beyond pure strength and speed into the realms of souls and laws! Their power was immeasurable!

With these two spear forms, my combat options will be even more varied and unpredictable! Lin Ming felt thoroughly reassured.

Finally, he turned his gaze to the martial cultivation entry. With fewer than four million Kill Points left, reaching the eighth tier was a pipe dream. Raising his cultivation by a few minor stages, however, was well within his means.
