Covering the Sky: A Guide to Proving the Dao Without Cheats

Chapter 138 The Secret of the Character "Soldier" - The Art of Soldiers

Having suffered repeated losses, Wang Teng finally unleashed another terrifying ancient secret technique – a punch!

A vast starry sky appeared behind them! The starry sky was incredibly realistic, with countless stars revolving within it, each radiating dazzling light!

The True Dragon, the Divine Phoenix, the White Tiger, and the Black Tortoise manifested together, filling the entire sky. The Four Symbols Holy Spirits merged with the starry sky, and endless divine light engulfed heaven and earth!

This punch was imbued with the power of the Four Symbols and the stars, as if it would shatter the entire void!

Opposite him, a dazzling halo of holy light shone behind Luo Heng's head.

Without dodging or avoiding, he raised his hand and threw a punch to meet the attack—on the tip of his fist, a small world instantly took shape, with eight ancient characters swirling and swirling within it, radiating a terrifying aura that suppressed all heavens!

Two fists collided!

In an instant, the void collapsed!

Centered on the two men's fists, black abysses spread wildly in all directions, their depths unfathomable, as if leading to an eternal unknown!

Chaotic energy surged from the edge of each abyss, resembling the scene at the beginning of the world!

Amidst the deafening roar like a landslide and a tsunami, stars flickered and vanished! These vanishing stars were not illusions, but manifestations of real Dao principles; the vanishing of each star represented the collapse of a Great Dao!

A terrifying shockwave erupted instantly, sweeping all the scattered treasures on the ground in all directions!

Countless fragile medicinal herbs turned to dust on the spot, while the fragments of holy weapons and divine weapons turned into streams of light that scattered in all directions, like a dazzling meteor shower!

Before Wang Teng could even feel the pain, Luo Heng, having gained the upper hand, pressed his advantage and delivered another punch!

Wang Teng could only defend himself with all his might!

Luo Heng smiled and launched a fierce attack, forcing the Northern Emperor to retreat step by step!

Not to be outdone, Wang Teng began to unleash all his secret techniques from the Chaotic Ancient Era—the "Sacred Technique of the Chaotic Ancient Emperor!"

Everyone was astonished. Wang Teng's secret technique was extremely similar to the Chaotic Ancient Scripture recorded in ancient books, and its divine power was unparalleled! Every time he made a move, a blurry phantom of an ancient emperor would appear behind him, empowering him!

However, during the battle, two "soldier" characters suddenly reappeared in Luo Heng's eyes! As soon as those two characters appeared, all the weapons in the world trembled and emitted mournful cries, as if they were paying homage to their king!

Wang Teng sensed something was wrong, but before he could react, Luo Heng's gaze swept across the area and landed on a long spear with a coiled dragon stuck in the ground in the distance. "Buzz!"

The spear shone brightly, its shaft thrashed violently, and in the next instant, with a "crack," the spear shattered into a pile of iron fragments.

Wang Teng's lips twitched.

Before he could make a move, the word "soldier" flashed repeatedly in Luo Heng's eyes!

In the distance, on the ground, some of the incredibly powerful weapons showed signs of cracking, while others exploded into countless fragments.

Wang Teng felt waves of excruciating pain surge through his heart!

Those watching from afar paled at the sight!

"This...this...could this be the legendary 'Military Secret'? How could this be?"

An old man muttered to himself, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"Wasn't it supposed to be a secret technique for controlling weapons? How did it become a technique specifically for destroying weapons?"

Some young people watched as Luo Heng shattered weapons one by one, and they felt terrified. They subconsciously thought to themselves: I will never be Luo Heng's enemy in the future!

In the crowd, Ji Ziyue suddenly nudged Ji Haoyue with her elbow: "Brother, if you're going to have a final battle with Luo Heng, could you give me all your treasures first? Otherwise, it'll just be a waste—"

Upon hearing this, Ji Haoyue, whose face was already pale, turned even more ashen. She glared fiercely at her younger sister, and her gaze toward Luo Heng was now filled with apprehension.

Ye Fan, standing in the crowd, had his eyes light up!

The "Soldier's Secret" technique? He knows it too! But why is it producing this kind of effect?

He was completely baffled and thought to himself: After this battle is over, I must ask Luo Heng about it.

At this moment, Luo Heng was filled with smugness.

The original "兵" (soldier) secret was not used in this way.

Unlike those stubborn kids in the world of Shrouding the Heavens—who say that the "Soldier's Secret" is used to control soldiers, does Luo Heng really only use it to control weapons?

You snatch it, I snatch it back, you snatch it back again—isn't that stupid?

Since it's impossible to snatch it completely, once you get your hands on it, stand up and kick it a few times while it's still hot, break it. After all, it's not your weapon, and since no one else can use it, you won't lose out.

Adhering to this philosophy, he specifically sought out a secret technique in the Yao Guang Holy Land that could "invigorate the power of weapons in a short time at the cost of damaging them."

Then they found Gai Jiuyou and Wei Yi, and the three of them studied and discussed it, and modified the secret technique.

The goal of the modification is simple: to damage the weapons to the greatest extent possible in the shortest amount of time.

As for the amplification effect? ​​It doesn't matter.

This secret technique, created by the three of them, was named by Luo Heng as the "Art of Dissolving Soldiers".

With this newly created "Weapon Dismantling Technique" and the secret of the "Weapon" character, he can destroy the opponent's weapon the instant he gains control of it!

Of course, at present he can only completely destroy weapons below the Dragon Transformation Realm. At most, he can only crack those at the Sendai Realm.

However, that's enough.

His "Disintegration Technique" can only destroy the portion of the Dao patterns he can control. Low-level weapons, after being subjected to this attack, are basically shattered into dust on the spot;

While high-level weapons can withstand the damage, what is often destroyed is the Dao pattern controlling the core—it's like smashing a switch; without professional repair, it's basically just a pile of scrap metal.

As Luo Heng and Wang Teng clashed, the word "soldier" flashed repeatedly in Luo Heng's eyes.

One by one, Wang Teng's weapons were either reduced to fragments scattered across the ground or covered in cracks. The fragments fell to the ground, creating deep craters, in which strange traces of the "soldier" secret remained.

Seeing this, Wang Teng's face not only looked ugly, but also revealed a trace of anxiety that he could not hide—he seemed to be afraid of something, and his gaze kept sweeping towards a certain place.

Suddenly, Luo Heng's eyes flashed: "Interesting—this longsword, is it a weapon with a weapon spirit?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Teng's expression changed drastically!

"No! Stop!"

Luo Heng raised an eyebrow, his smile growing even more unrestrained: "Oh? That weapon is very important to you, huh? Hmm—it resisted fiercely! But—it was useless."

As soon as he finished speaking, the "soldier" character in his eyes suddenly shone brightly! The light was so dazzling that it seemed as if two condensed stars were burning in his eye sockets!

A bronze longsword in the distance emitted a mournful cry.

The next second—

"Snap!"

A shocking crack appeared on the sword! The crack spread along the sword, and wherever it passed, the Dao patterns engraved on the sword shattered!

Wang Teng's eyes instantly turned bloodshot! Two lines of bloody tears slid down his cheeks!

He glared at Luo Heng and unleashed a full-force "Front" technique! The soul attack transformed into a tangible golden beam, silently annihilating the void wherever it passed!

Luo Heng was prepared, but the blow still struck his head like a heavy hammer, as if his soul had been torn apart! He was sent flying backward uncontrollably.

But this time, he recovered extremely quickly—he regained consciousness almost at the same time as Wang Teng.

But after taking that blow, Luo Heng frowned.

In fact, if he really wanted to block it, there were many ways. For example, if he simply placed the lid of the Devouring Demon Jar in front of his primordial spirit, Wang Teng's soul attack would not be able to harm him in the slightest.

But he didn't do that.

What he needs is a truly stressful battle, not a one-sided crushing defeat. If he can't even endure this little bit of pain, how can he talk about proving his path?

That's what they say—

"But—it fucking hurts!"

Luo Heng gritted his teeth, enduring the excruciating pain in his soul and the persistent dizziness in his head.

"Since Wang Teng is helping me so diligently, I should help him even more in return."

Thinking this, he glanced around and then his gaze fell on a piece of black armor in the distance. A smile crept onto his lips: "Another one with a soldier's spirit? Let me see—how fiercely it resists."

As he spoke, the word "soldier" reappeared in his eyes!

Upon hearing this, Wang Teng's expression changed drastically. He suppressed his dizziness and subconsciously tried to activate the "Former" secret technique again, but only felt a tearing pain deep within his soul—the secret technique had failed!

His heart sank suddenly as he realized that his soul had been damaged by the successive backlashes and he would not be able to use this technique again for a short period of time!

An unprecedented sense of terror surged into my heart in an instant.
