Chapter 640 -307: Ultimate Mystical Technique

A thunderbolt crashed down from the sky, and Chen Cheng met it head-on, his Military Dao Combat Killing Hammer unleashing immense power.

BOOM!

Flashes of light flickered as a violent roar thundered through the heavens!

The wild and violent energy made space itself tremble. The mountain cliffs quivered, and the entirety of Lake Heart Island shook faintly!

ROAR!

From the nearby Cold Pool, a three-headed giant python surfaced and roared in fury.

But upon seeing the thunderous energy gathering in the sky, it hastily retreated back into the depths of the Cold Pool.

Even for an exceptionally powerful Tier Five Demon Beast like itself—one whose might could intimidate all other Demon Beasts for nearly a hundred li—it dared not face the power of the lightning head-on!

BOOM!

A thunderbolt, now wreathed in purple lightning, came crashing down again. Chen Cheng swung his Military Dao Combat Killing Hammer to meet it.

[Military Dao Combat Killing Hammer Cultivation Progress increased.]

…

As he adapted to the power of the lightning, Chen Cheng’s long hair stood on end. His gaze was icy, and his will to fight surged!

Of course, had anyone been watching from the sidelines, their heart would have been pounding in their chest!

“Second Hammer, Vibrate and Shock the Eight Desolates!”

Chen Cheng shot straight up into the air, his Military Dao Combat Killing Hammer smashing toward the incoming lightning!

The condensed Hammer Force, carrying an overwhelmingly potent penetrating power, erupted in a circular shockwave as it collided head-on with the lightning’s energy!

BOOM!

A shockwave swept out in all directions, making space itself tremble!

Lightning sparked from the soles of Chen Cheng’s feet as he stepped. His body moved like a teleporting lightning serpent, and in a single flash, he landed steadily back on the stone platform.

This was the complementary Body Technique of the Nine Heavens Thunder Shocking Hammer Technique: Thunderous Step Shaking the Mountains.

It allowed for swift, lightning-like teleportation over short distances. At its most ferocious, its momentum was overpowering, capable of shaking mountains and piercing through the eight desolates.

…

“Third Hammer, Profound Evil Thunder Extreme!”

All the Qi Blood Power in Chen Cheng’s body surged, and his True Force roiled chaotically. As he swung his Military Dao Combat Killing Hammer, it unleashed Thunder Arcs, within which flickered the faint patterns of Profound Evil Thunder.

It clashed directly with the energy of the descending thunderbolt, causing space to crackle and setting off a series of sonic booms.

Under the force of this hammer strike, the ferocious energy of the thunderbolt instantly collapsed, shattering into a dazzling spray of light!

…

[Skills: Nine Heavens Thunder Shocking Hammer Technique (Great Success…)]

As his Cultivation Progress increased, Chen Cheng’s execution of the Nine Heavens Thunder Shocking Hammer Technique grew ever more ferocious and tyrannical!

Above Lake Heart Island, thunder and lightning flashed relentlessly. Violent rumbles echoed one after another in an earth-shattering display!

「An hour later.」

[Skills: Nine Heavens Thunder Shocking Hammer Technique (Perfection). Deducing Mystical Technique… Current Progress: (1/100). Once deduction is complete, the Ultimate Mystical Technique of the Nine Heavens Thunder Shocking Hammer Technique can be cultivated.]

At that very instant, the lightning in the sky intensified severalfold. Thunder Arcs as thick as a man’s arm appeared amidst the rolling thunder, their power threatening to tear the world asunder!

Startled, Chen Cheng hastily ceased his Hammer Technique and tightly enveloped the Demon Seed with his Cyan Heaven Dharma Thought Power.

Only then did the raging lightning in the sky begin to slowly dissipate.

Silence fell over Lake Heart Island in an instant.

Chen Cheng stood tall, holding his Military Dao Combat Killing Hammer, a thoughtful expression on his face.

‘My Cultivation is progressing so quickly. It’s clearly thanks to the simple and brutal nature of the Hammer Technique itself, as well as my own strong physique and formidable Power Dao, which are a perfect match for it. In addition, this Military Dao Combat Killing Hammer already contains the essence of lightning, making it incredibly easy to use for this Cultivation. And in this cave abode, the supply of lightning energy is practically endless for me. Training with such an abundance of it, my progress is naturally soaring. After mastering the Nine Heavens Thunder Shocking Hammer Technique to Perfection, the power it unleashes is so immense that it seems to have triggered some kind of reaction mechanism in the cave abode, causing the lightning to suddenly intensify. The cultivation system for this Hammer Technique is different from ordinary Cultivation Techniques. It doesn’t progress toward a Realm, but instead points to a so-called Ultimate Mystical Technique. This clearly emphasizes the Martial Artist’s own Power Dao, unleashing the ultimate might from the combination of the Power Dao and the Hammer Technique. Of course, even if the Nine Heavens Thunder Shocking Hammer Technique doesn’t cultivate a Realm, it naturally possesses the Realm Power of the Thunder Shock Realm. The power of the lightning energy unleashed by executing the three hammer moves in succession is definitely far beyond that of an ordinary Second Layer Eight Trigrams Thunder Shock Realm. If I can cultivate the Ultimate Mystical Technique, the might of the Nine Heavens Thunder Shocking Hammer Technique will surely skyrocket. Combined with my True Intent of Heaven and Earth, my true combat strength will reach a terrifying level. I might not be able to contend with an Innate Realm Expert, but I should be considered at the absolute pinnacle of the Acquired Body Refining Realm. Inside this cave abode, Spiritual Artifacts can’t unleash their full power. This means everyone’s true combat strength is effectively suppressed to the Acquired Body Refining Realm. I should be able to dominate everyone. Even Ji Lingxiao, with his Profound Tier Spiritual Artifact, the Lingxiao Sword, would not necessarily be my match.’

Cultivating the Nine Heavens Thunder Shocking Hammer Technique for so long had consumed a great deal of his Qi and Blood.

Moreover, the constant bombardment of lightning sent power coursing through Chen Cheng’s body with every strike, thoroughly tempering his physique.

A wave of exhaustion washed over him. Chen Cheng leaped to the highest point of the cliff and scanned his surroundings. Seeing nothing out of the ordinary, he stepped into the passageway.

He roasted and ate some Demon Beast Meat in the cave to replenish his Qi Blood Power, then entered a hidden chamber to relax and rest.

At noon, he spent another hour cultivating the Iron Armor Demon Suppression Skill.

As night fell, rolling thunder once again filled the sky above Lake Heart Island, unleashing waves of deafening roars!

Chen Cheng was so engrossed in his Cultivation he was close to forgetting to eat or sleep. The intense satisfaction of desperately wanting to grow stronger—and then actually doing so at a rapid pace—was something only he could truly understand!

…

「Several days later.」

Dozens of li from the Cold Water Lake, a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties or fifties flew at extreme speed toward a short mountain. He wore a long gray robe and carried a large, square package on his back.
