From Five Animal Exercises to being hailed as a saint and ancestor

The gray fog surged, and the once desolate forest of bones had been transformed into a raging battlefield.

The bull-shaped soul beast at the threshold of the Yuan Dan realm roared, shaking the soul, its four hooves shattering the black earth.

The gray-black mist swirling around him condensed into a tangible suit of armor, and the pale green soul fire danced wildly in his hollow eye sockets, each impact carrying a terrifying force capable of crushing mountains.

It is like the embodiment of death.

They were determined to crush this tiny "insect" in front of them into dust.

Yao Mengkang moved with lightning speed, struggling to maneuver through the storm of attacks.

The Cloud-Splitting Blade unleashed streaks of starlight blade energy, colliding repeatedly with the condensed gray mist and erupting into deafening roars.

His tiger's mouth was already split open, blood soaking the hilt of the knife. His internal organs were throbbing with pain from the terrifying force, and blood overflowing from the corner of his mouth stained his clothes red.

The difference in cultivation level was like an insurmountable chasm; if it weren't for the nearly limitless spiritual power provided by the 100,000-zhang spiritual sea,

And with the stone beads constantly absorbing the soul-corroding energy that eroded his mind, he had already been defeated and died.

The weak soul beasts he summoned using his movement technique could temporarily replenish his soul power, but they could not reverse the absolute disadvantage of facing the bull demon head-on.

"We can't fight head-on; we must find a way to break this deadlock!"

Yao Mengkang's brain was racing, and all the martial arts techniques he had learned in the past flashed through his mind like lightning.

He recalled a power-accumulating technique recorded in "Nine Transformations of the Star God".

It is not simply about accumulating spiritual energy, but rather about guiding it through special meridian circulation and mental focus.

Accumulate power layer by layer like a compressed spring, and unleash it in an instant, pursuing the ultimate single-target destructive power!

At the same time, the method of stacking sword intent from the Thousand Waves Sword Technique, where each wave pushes the previous one forward and becomes stronger than the last, also came to mind.

A bold idea cleaved through the fog like a thunderclap!

Accumulation is the process of "building up" power, while stacking waves is the process of "stacking" them. If one can integrate the burst of power gained from accumulation into the continuous amplification of stacked waves...

Each strike is not just an accumulation of power, but also an accumulation of momentum, a geometric increase in destructive force!

This idea made his heart pound! And what about the several true meanings he had grasped?

The true meaning of the Five Animals is to simulate all kinds of life.

The bear's solidity provides a foundation, while the deer's agility facilitates the accumulation and transformation of power.

The tiger's ferocity amplifies the sword's momentum, the ape's agility allows for precise control of its power, and the bird's keen insight enables it to seize the opportune moment!

The true meaning of overlapping waves is the core framework of this method, running through the entire process!

The true meaning of the stars endows it with unparalleled sharpness and the attribute of destruction!

"Merge! Merge them!"

An indescribable sense of excitement washed away the fatigue and pain in my body.

In dire straits, his strong will to survive and his yearning for a higher level unleashed unprecedented potential in him!

He stopped merely passively defending and maneuvering, and began to try to put this crazy idea into practice!

"The first cut!"

Yao Mengkang's eyes narrowed, and he leaped across the ravine like a nimble deer, narrowly avoiding the bull demon's trampling.

The Cloud-Splitting Blade swung up smoothly, its blade flashing.

Like a rising star, it has the momentum of a cascading wave.

It also contains a very subtle, restrained meaning of "accumulating strength"!

The blade sliced ​​through the misty armor covering the bull demon's body, leaving a shallow mark.

The Bull Demon roared in pain and swung its head to charge!

"The second cut!"

Instead of retreating, Yao Mengkang advanced, his steps as powerful as a bear's stomping, instantly regaining his balance.

Using the momentum of his forward charge, the Cloud-Splitting Blade slashed upwards from below!

This strike not only inherited the "wave momentum" of the previous strike.

Furthermore, at the moment of drawing the sword, he incorporated the profound meaning of the bear into the process of gathering power, and the sword's momentum suddenly became three times heavier!

At the same time, the impending destruction of the stars is becoming apparent!

"Sizzle!"

As the blade flashed, a deeper gash was cleaved through the mist around the Bull Demon's neck, causing his soul fire to flicker violently!

"Moo—!"

The Bull Demon King was utterly enraged, and gray mist surged around him.

It transformed into countless tentacle-like chains and came to strangle them!

"Good! The third cut!"

Yao Mengkang's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and his body twisted incredibly like an ape as he passed through the gaps in the chains. The Cloud-Splitting Blade transformed into a streak of light and slashed horizontally!

With this strike, the momentum of the surging waves rose even higher!

The charging process is smoother, incorporating the agility of an ape and the ferocity of a tiger!

The Starry Blade's aura was dazzling and brilliant!

"boom!"

The blade energy and the misty chains collided fiercely, and both were annihilated!

Yao Mengkang's arm trembled violently, but it didn't stop!

The fourth cut! The fifth cut! The sixth cut!

He was completely immersed in this frenzied creation and practice.

With each strike, the true meaning is being adjusted.

It optimizes the combination of power accumulation and wave stacking.

The Five Animal Frolics are like the most agile dance steps, supporting him to move around in a small space, creating space to accumulate power and strike.

The true meaning of the overlapping waves is like a surging river, propelling the sword's momentum higher and higher.

The true meaning of the stars is like the endless sharpness embedded in the waves, giving it the ultimate destructive power to tear everything apart!

That unique power-building technique is like planting explosives in every wave, making the subsequent explosion even more terrifying!

His sword became faster and faster, and his swordplay became more and more powerful!

At first, they only had a slight advantage, but gradually they were able to stand on equal footing with the Bull Demon.

Then came the endless, seemingly ever-escalating, terrifying waves of blades.

They actually began to suppress this powerful soul beast!

On the Bull Demon's solidified misty body, the knife marks became more numerous and deeper, and the pale green soul fire dimmed considerably.

It roared in shock and rage, but could not stop the destructive blade light that surged like a reversed galaxy, wave after wave!

"Now! Overlapping Waves... Shattered Stars!"

When the momentum of the blade reached a certain critical point, Yao Mengkang was inspired and let out a long roar!

His 100,000-foot spiritual sea roared wildly, and all his power and all his intents merged perfectly at this moment, pouring into the Cloud-Splitting Blade!

The starlight on the blade was more intense than ever before, as if it had truly drawn upon the power of the stars in the heavens!

A terrifying blade aura that stretches across the sky, formed by countless overlapping blade intents and the compressed power of stars to the extreme.

Like the Milky Way bursting its banks, or like billions of waves finally merging, it fell with a devastating force!

This strike transcended the realm of the Spirit Sea Realm and reached the power of the Yuan Dan Realm!

"Awooo—!"

The bull-shaped soul beast let out a desperate and unwilling howl. Its defense, which it had gathered with all its soul power, shattered instantly like paper in the face of this supreme strike!

The blade's energy sliced ​​through its massive body without any resistance!

Time seemed to freeze for a moment.

The next moment, the solid body of the bull-shaped soul beast, starting from the middle, melted and disintegrated rapidly, like ice and snow thrown into the scorching sun!

Finally, with a "bang," it completely exploded into a sky full of pure, yet massive amounts of ghostly energy—a gray-black current!

Yao Mengkang used his knife to support himself on the ground, knelt down on one knee, and gasped for breath. His whole body felt as if he had been pulled out of the water. His spiritual energy was almost exhausted, and his meridians were throbbing with pain.

But his eyes shone with an astonishing brightness, filled with excitement and enlightenment!

He succeeded!

At the critical moment of life and death, he forcibly merged four different techniques and artistic conceptions: Power Accumulation, Wave Stacking, Five Animals, and Starry Sky, forging his own path of attack!

This move, "Layered Waves Shattering Stars," is far more powerful than any martial art he had mastered before!

He was unaware that this combat philosophy of pursuing infinitely stacked and amplified damage was not without precedent in ancient legends.

Legend has it that in ancient times, there was a swordsman of extraordinary talent who created the "Nine Swords Overlapping Waves" technique.

Nine precious swords are arranged in a sword formation, each sword inheriting the momentum and power of the previous sword. Theoretically, they can be stacked infinitely, and their power will have no upper limit, enough to annihilate stars!

However, this method places extremely high demands on the cultivator's comprehension, spiritual strength, physical strength, and control over spiritual power.

It has long been lost to the river of time.

By sheer chance, Yao Mengkang has managed to use a knife instead of a sword, combining the strengths of various schools of thought, and has actually touched the threshold of this legendary path!

The pure and abundant soul source surged into his body like a torrent, and was quickly filtered by the Chaos Stone Bead. The pure part nourished his nearly exhausted soul and body.

He could feel that the strength of his soul had reached a whole new level after the series of battles and the replenishment of this massive amount of soul source!

However, before he could fully comprehend the changes brought about by this breakthrough, another anomaly occurred!

Perhaps the "Stacked Waves Shattering Stars" strike was too loud and contained too much power.

In the distance, a chilling aura, even more terrifying and profound than that of the bull-shaped soul beast, seemed to originate from the deepest hell.

Like an ancient ferocious beast awakening, it slowly spread out and locked onto this area!

Yao Mengkang's scalp tingled instantly, and his nerves, which had just relaxed, tightened to the limit again!

"This is not a place to linger!"

He mustered his spiritual power, his figure transforming into an almost invisible shadow, and sped away desperately in the opposite direction from that terrifying aura!

The dangers hidden deep within this Silent Abyss are far more terrifying than he imagined!
