Defying the Fate of Beheading-Chapter 545 - 301: The Means to Tear Apart the Legendary Domain, Lokeshi’s First Encounter
The Kulin Sword Saint never imagined that one day he would be astonished by someone else’s speed in learning martial techniques.
In a daze, he recalled many years ago when he was still young, at the age of competing with his siblings.
Back then, one by one, his brothers and sisters fell behind in their competitions with him, and many even lost the motivation to cultivate properly.
At that time, his young self dismissed such behavior and naturally assumed they should continue striving to narrow the gap with him.
Perhaps now, the way he looks at Louis is just like how his siblings looked at him back then.
Fourth level of the Unseen Realm: Heart Eye.
Because the invisible qi wind has spread all over his body, replacing the five senses to become the cultivator’s eyes to observe the world, the opponent’s physical defects, extraordinary power flaws, and movement shortcomings are infinitely magnified under meticulous observation.
This is the Heart Eye, a precise application of the power of the Unseen Realm. In his view, the weaknesses on the enemy’s body are clearly marked, so apparent.
And all you need to do is to thrust your weapon into the weak points, causing damage to your opponent as though you were a master butcher dismembering an ox.
However, a frightening event occurred.
As everyone knows, the first martial technique of the Eternal Blade is called "Eternal Training," whose effect is to draw the practitioner into an unseen dreamscape, where they receive training from the Blade Tutor to identify the opponent’s weaknesses.
Due to Merlin’s bias towards Louis, long ago, Louis began specialized resilience training considering the various races of the continent as hypothetical enemies.
For various reasons, both spoken and unspoken, the first race he considered as hypothetical enemies were humans.
While Kulin was still instructing Louis on how to discover opponent weaknesses using the Heart Eye, the next moment he felt a serious discomfort in every corner of his body.
That was him, adept in the Heart Eye as well, realizing that Louis had already seen through his flaws.
To make matters worse, he clearly felt that the weaknesses that Louis discovered through the Heart Eye were more than what he himself had found.
Damn, a type of plant.
Can this instruction continue?
Is there anyone else who learns techniques like this? Someone stop him, he damn well is committing a crime!
He had already sensed that Louis’s current battle prowess had surpassed the legendary level, a subtle awareness as a Sword Saint.
Could this be the absolute domination of stronger power over technique?
Is higher cultivation really that great?
If his delinquent disciple Jino appeared before the Kulin Sword Saint at this moment, he would surely smirk and say:
"Sorry, master, higher cultivation is indeed a big deal."
And at this stage, the final layer of the Unseen Realm, is about to be grasped by Louis.
Fifth level of the Unseen Realm: Deep Sea Circle and Star-piercing Sword Light.
At this time, the region covered by the Unseen Realm has formed your third eye, where the flaws of the enemy are infinitely magnified before you, indicating that your perceptual and controlling abilities over the invisible qi wind have reached a new level.
What you need to do now is use this strong dominion, attaching it to your body, even your weapon and enemies.
The spear that can pierce anything and the shield that can withstand anything can mutually exchange roles.
"Time Stop" uses that pure power similar to the invisible qi wind, capable of halting the motion of matter and spirit in the surrounding area, naturally becoming a "lethal strike" under absolute motionless conditions.
Among them, the Deep Sea Circle leverages the power of "stasis," utilizing the effects of the invisible qi wind.
Although it can’t forcibly freeze opponents’ actions like Time Stop, the invisible qi wind, entwining enemies like a live spring, will permanently reduce their movement speed by 10% as long as your spiritual power isn’t exhausted.
Note, this 10% is the base ratio.
This is the Deep Sea Circle, within this range, others feel as if they are compressed by deep sea water, with movement severely restricted everywhere.
And as you enhance your mastery over the invisible qi wind, this ratio will continue to rise.
Theoretically, if one’s spiritual power is strong enough and their mastery of the invisible qi wind is enhanced to the utmost, one can entirely take another path—
Extracting the mixed spiritual power from the invisible qi wind allows the ratio of pure power to continually rise.
As you gradually adapt, it implies...
The Deep Sea Circle will increasingly resemble the state of "Time Stop." 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚
After ingeniously using the "stasis" representative Deep Sea Circle, Louis felt the terror of this power.
Even the baseline 10% speed reduction effect can suffocate people.
Friends who have played strategy games would know, even if it’s a mere 10%, if your opponent gains a 2% speed boost, in a state of roughly balanced strength, even if your strategic ability is superior, the pressure can spike more than double.
At this moment, the majority of players can do only one thing—vent their frustrations hard on all major social platforms, blaming the game designers vehemently.
10% is even more needless to say, at the same level it can directly cause a crushing effect.
The issue is that this percentage can still be increased, it’s excessively overpowered.
The Star-piercing Sword Light is even more outrageous.
It is somewhat akin to an optimized version of the Time Stop.
However, it doesn’t act on the surrounding area but on the sword itself.
When Louis heard the Kulin Sword Saint explaining about attaching a layer of invisible qi wind close to absolute stasis on both sides of the blade, with a layer undergoing accelerated motion in the vacuum zone between the two stasis qi wind layers, he was speechless.
Perhaps some haven’t realized what this entails.
In the various high-tech melee weapons imagined by humans that Louis had seen in his past life, the principles of the high-frequency blade most closely resemble the concept of the Star-piercing Sword Light.
