Ch. 2636Caught Between Ice and Fire

Ch. 2637Major attainment of the first turn

Qin Hao refined heavenly wonders on Profound Weight Star and raised his Divine Body Power to the Eternity True God level, but even after using all the materials, the first turn of the Nine-Turn Indestructible Body remained unfinished. The chapter ended with him wondering why he was still half a step short of the Peak Eternity True God level.

  • Qin Hao endured the pain of refining the Heavenly Flame Wondrous Liquid and other heavenly wonders as Profound Weight Star's gravity tempered his body.

  • Half a Month later, Qin Hao had refined all the heavenly wonders, but his Divine Body Power remained half a step short of the Peak Eternity True God level, leaving him puzzled.

Ch. 2638Not yet perfected

Qin Hao found that the first turn of the Nine-Turn Indestructible Body had stalled just short of perfection, so he stabilized his Divine Body Power on Profound Weight Star and then began testing his sword arts there. His first attempt with the Minor Evolution Sword God Art revealed that the star’s gravity nearly overwhelmed his Three Thousand Sword Threads.

  • Qin Hao realized his prepared heavenly wonders were not the issue, but he could not identify what power he still needed to perfect the first turn.

He realized the gravity depended on the power of his sword moves and wondered whether he could use it to cultivate them.

  • Qin Hao’s Three Thousand Sword Threads were crushed by a sudden surge of gravity, and he tested whether Profound Weight Star’s ordinary gravity had changed.
  • Qin Hao confirmed that walking, running, and flying caused no unusual pressure, then sensed gravity gathering around the Heavenly Abyss Sword as he performed the Minor Evolution Sword God Art.
  • The gravity multiplied as Qin Hao thrust his sword and released sword qi, then grew hundreds or thousands of times stronger and destroyed all Three Thousand Sword Threads.
  • Qin Hao concluded that Profound Weight Star’s gravity formed a domain that reacted to his sword arts, and that the Minor Evolution Sword God Art triggered much stronger gravity than the Unerring Sword Scripture.
  • Qin Hao wondered whether he could use the gravity produced by his sword moves to cultivate them.

Ch. 2640The Method of Stacking

Qin Hao studied the gravity on Profound Weight Star and discovered that it came from both a massive formation and the planet’s innate gravity. He began trying to stack the innate gravity into Three Thousand Sword Threads, but the technique kept shattering before he could succeed.

  • Qin Hao reasoned that the Gravity Domain could strengthen sword arts by improving their continuity, then used Minor Evolution Sword God Art to study how its gravity formed.
  • After repeatedly unleashing Three Thousand Sword Threads and sensing his surroundings with world power, Qin Hao concluded that Profound Weight Star’s gravity came from its formation and its innate gravity.
  • Qin Hao decided he could harness innate gravity wherever matter existed and planned to stack it into his sword arts like the force in the Chaos Sword Art and Nine Heavens Stacking Waves Force.
  • Qin Hao tried to draw gravity from the ground into Three Thousand Sword Threads, but the threads shattered before he could harness it effectively.
