Book 2: Chapter 52: Han Qianye's Breakthrough
Vol 2 Ch 52 Han Qianye's Breakthrough
Like the 99-horsepower limit of the Jade Bone realm, the Dharma Aspect realm also has a limit, which is 999 horsepower!
However, this power can only be unleashed after condensing the Dharma Aspect and mobilizing it. The Sensing realm, on the other hand, can unleash it purely through the physical body... Is this for real?
But if it's not real, how could the opponent do it?
Han Qianye was shocked in his heart, but his spear never paused and continued to thrust at high speed. However, every move of the opponent’s Machete was like a mountain hammer strike. After dozens of consecutive blows, his tiger's mouth began to bleed, unable to withstand any more.
He could unleash 600 horsepower with a single thrust due to an opportunity where he consumed rare heavenly treasures. Even so, he couldn’t sustain it for long. Yet, the person before him, using 999 horsepower, still appeared relaxed and unstrained, as if his energy would never run out!
No wonder the Crown Prince was so cautious, no wonder Li Yue'an and Feng Zhaoting were no match. The opponent hid his strength well!
"Since you are using Heaven’s Fate, I will too!" Han Qianye raised his brows, and the tip of his spear shook fiercely. In the blink of an eye, Heaven’s Fate Energy flowed, and the speed of the spear broke the sound barrier, rushing forward.
Heaven’s Fate Radiance!
This was the Heaven’s Fate passed down from the Han Yuan royal family. The radiance of the spear would instantly increase its speed, breaking the sound barrier. Countless people stronger than him had been easily slain by this move.
Seeing such speed, Zhang Xuan wasn't afraid at all. Instead, his eyes lit up.
The Heaven’s Fate he had encountered before was either "betrayal," "charm," or "dream-rape"... all quite abnormal. However, the Spear Radiance, once understood, could increase the spear’s speed and greatly enhance combat power. If it could be copied and taught to Zheng Yang, it would certainly improve his strength by a large margin.
Thinking of this, the natural copying ability of Heaven’s Path activated. In the blink of an eye, 100,000 books burned out and transformed into a stream of water resembling a long spear.
"Such a huge consumption..."
Zhang Xuan's eyelids twitched.
Fortunately, he had just bought 20 Destiny Disks, which provided around 200,000 Heaven’s Fate Energy. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to replicate this Heaven’s Fate.
Looking at the long spear-shaped water flow just formed, Zhang Xuan observed that, like the previous Machete or Thousand Threads Heaven’s Fate, even with 100,000 Heaven’s Fate Energy absorbed, it still felt somewhat weak and would extinguish at any moment.
"Could it be that Radiant Heaven’s Fate is superior to Machete Heaven’s Fate?" Zhang Xuan speculated.
Machete Heaven’s Fate could form its embryonic shape with 50,000 Heaven’s Fate Energy, but Radiant Heaven’s Fate required 100,000. Does that mean it's more powerful?
This thought flashed through his mind, and realizing it wasn’t the time for such musings, Zhang Xuan shook his Machete and slashed toward the incoming Spear Radiance.
This time, there was no holding back. All his energy surged along with the blade aura, descending majestically.
Crack! Crack!
Although the Spear Radiance was fast, it lacked power, and faced with his full-force strike, it immediately shattered. Han Qianye’s pupils contracted. He tried to dodge but found that his body was locked by a special force, as though it was destined to be struck by this blow with no way to resist.
Heaven’s Fate Energy, affecting the soul!
"This is bad!"
The people who had bet on Han Qianye’s victory all turned pale.
Looking at the power of this blow, if it truly lands, not only would the peak of Sensing realm not resist, even someone at the peak of Dharma Aspect would be unable to withstand it!
Buzz!
The Machete struck Han Qianye, a glow flashing. A dark blue armor suddenly appeared, blocking the blade’s aura. Not only that, the ordinary steel-tempered Machete shattered into countless fragments, which embedded into the ground.
"This is... Cold Nether Armor!"
"Prince Pingyuan is actually wearing Cold Nether Armor... Is this still a Life-and-Death duel? This is cheating!"
"He's known as a battle maniac, always wanting to duel with others, but when it comes to actually fighting, he's afraid of death and puts on battle armor. How can this be fair?"
"As long as the armor is activated, it's practically invulnerable. He's already in an undefeatable position..."
Upon seeing this scene, the crowd erupted in an uproar.
Since it's a Life-and-Death duel, the weapons used should be provided by the black market, and there should be no significant disparity for the battle to be interesting. How could someone wear such invincible defensive armor? How is this a fair fight?
So embarrassing!
Han Qianye’s face flushed slightly as he spat out a mouthful of blood, "They're right, it's indeed unfair to wear armor."
As he spoke, he began to remove the Cold Nether Armor.
"No need. Just unleash your full power. Who said I can't defeat you just because you're wearing armor?" Zhang Xuan waved his hand and stepped forward.
Up until now, the opponent had been the one attacking, and he had been defending passively. Now, with his true energy flowing to the limit, he was ready to take the initiative.
His speed was also incredibly fast, his footsteps making the sound of wind and thunder. Without the Machete and without the Heaven’s Fate martial technique, logically, his combat power would be considerably weaker, but Han Qianye felt a more difficult-to-resist sensation.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
In an instant, Han Qianye’s Cold Nether Armor endured dozens of violent strikes, each landing on the same spot, each carrying 999 horsepower, not more, not less.
"Poof!"
His face turned red as he spat out a mouthful of blood.
The Cold Nether Armor could block attacks, but the shockwave from the power that passed through the armor still caused him unbearable pain.
He had thought the opponent was only using Machete Heaven’s Fate to accumulate power to 999 horsepower, but he never imagined that the opponent’s physical strength had also reached that level! Moreover, every part of his body could unleash this power...
How did he cultivate this?
He had heard rumors that the Elder Ling was lecherous. If certain places could also unleash such power, wouldn't the women below die on the spot?
Realizing it was not time for such thoughts, Han Qianye raised his spear again, trying to block the opponent’s strike.
However, before he could execute his spear technique, Zhang Xuan’s violent power hit the spear shaft, and the spear shattered upon impact.
"He can do it, why can’t I? Why can’t I?" Han Qianye’s face twisted in fury. He pushed all his strength to the limit.
He was always proud of his strength and was known in the military for his violent output. Among the royal princes, only the Crown Prince was a challenge. No one else could match him. But now, he was being completely suppressed! His frustration was unimaginable.
The overwhelming power surged from the Source Pool, boiling in his meridians like scalding water, seeming ready to burst forth, but always getting stuck at a critical joint, unable to break through.
This constraint had been blocking him for many years, and he had never been able to break through it.
"Is it impossible to break through today as well?"
He gritted his teeth.
Fighting against such a powerful opponent was the best opportunity... He knew that once this chance was gone, he might never find such an opportunity again.
Screaming inwardly, Han Qianye charged forward, meeting Zhang Xuan head-on.
Fists collided, and the devastating force was like a stone thrown into water, creating ripples.
"No! No! It's still not working!"
After over a hundred exchanges, Han Qianye felt his internal organs were shaking and bleeding. He realized that the blockage inside his body was still like an impenetrable wall that he couldn't break through.
Just as he thought he was going to fail again, a faint voice came from the opposite side:
"Do you want to break through? I can help you."
As the voice finished, Han Qianye felt the opponent’s attacking power break through the Cold Nether Armor’s defense and converge on a specific spot in his body.
It was the very blockage he had been unable to overcome.
Boom!
With a single blow, the unshakable place collapsed, and his soul instantly solidified, appearing as a demon-like figure behind him!
The third level of the Source Pool Realm—Dharma Aspect!
He had broken through with the opponent’s help!
"Not bad, not bad!"
In a private room, Han Qianchou’s eyes lit up.
This younger brother's breakthrough marked another significant boost in the overall strength of the Han Yuan Dynasty.
As the breakthrough was completed, Han Qianchou's eyes immediately lit up with approval. His younger brother’s advancement signaled a huge leap in the overall strength of the Han Yuan Dynasty.
Being at the Dharma Aspect realm, the difference between having or not having a Dharma Aspect was immense.
“This is the moment of victory…”
Sun Lianxiang also sighed in relief.
However, unlike their excitement, Han Xiao and Chai Yunsheng, the two Hall Masters, exchanged looks, their expressions filled with deep shock.
“Being able to use the Machete Heaven’s Fate so smoothly proves it’s definitely Ling Buyang… But this immense strength also feels similar to someone who has trained in the Body’s Heaven’s Fate…”
Han Xiao recalled records from the Destiny Hall.
Those who cultivated the Body’s Heaven’s Fate would train their bodies without drinking alcohol, without bleeding, without injury, and without breaking their chastity vows… For decades, they would work tirelessly, perfecting the full use of their muscle power, allowing every move to reach its maximum potential.
Ling Buyang was known for practicing the Machete, and yet, so many rumors circulated about him being lecherous—how could he have achieved such a feat?
“That’s not right. Although he’s famous for his lecherousness, it seems he’s only ever observed women without any physical advances. I heard this from many people before and thought it was just gossip, but could it… actually be true?”
A thought flashed in his mind.
If this were true, then even if Ling Buyang hadn’t cultivated the Body’s Heaven’s Fate, he must have a similar method!
The most famous method for this would be the Buddha Sect’s Golden Body Technique!
By nurturing the Qi, cultivating the spirit, and preserving energy for decades, the body would eventually achieve the Golden Body, giving immense strength. With only physical power, one could sever fate and cross to the other side.
“With this kind of power and cultivation, he’s definitely qualified to compete with Chai Yunsheng…”
Han Xiao murmured to himself, then turned to Chai Yunsheng beside him, sighing: “When we return, I’ll send Ling Buyang an official letter of appointment. From today onwards, he will be the Vice Hall Master of Destiny Hall. Once I return to the Zouyi Dynasty, I’ll compete with you for the position of Hall Master! Yunsheng, work hard. You know, you’re the only person I’ve ever wanted to entrust this position to. Please, don’t disappoint me!”
Chai Yunsheng was stunned, his gaze instantly turning solemn. “Hall Master, rest assured. I will never let you down, and I will live up to your trust and expectations!”
On the stage, Han Qianye had broken through to the Dharma Aspect realm, his power reaching 800 horsepower. With the Cold Nether Armor added, his combat power soared. He had been at a disadvantage earlier, but now he had the upper hand.
“Defensive treasures really are strong. Without the Pathos of Heaven Sword Technique, it’s going to be hard to win…”
Zhang Xuan thought to himself as he continually retreated.
