199: Chapter 196 Five Months Later

The clash between the Blue Moon Civilization and the Golden Eye Civilization lasted only ten days before the highest authorities of both sides reached an agreement through negotiations on the distant "Qiyun Star", simultaneously withdrawing their main forces.

However.

Although this clash seemed brief, the casualties it brought to both sides were astonishing; the Earth Martial Artists of the Blue Moon Civilization who died in battle reached several thousand, and the death toll of the Golden-Eyed Clan was not much less... with even more injured.

And in this great battle,

many heroic figures emerged on the side of the Blue Moon Civilization.

There were at least ten Earth Martial Artists who had long reached the limit of the Terrain Realm. Under the tempering of blood and fire and repeated life-and-death pressures, their skills broke through shackles to achieve the Unity of Heaven and Man, and they would all soon become Sky-Patrol Martial Artists... In fact, this was also one of the objectives of the highest leadership of the Blue Moon Civilization.

The most dazzling figure in this battle was undoubtedly "Williams".

He was incomparably formidable and went on a killing spree. Within just a few days of joining the battle, over a hundred Earth Martial Artists of the Golden Eye Civilization fell by his hands.

Naturally, he became a thorn in the side of the Golden Eye Civilization. During the war, the Golden Eye Civilization had dispatched several top Geniuses to clash with him, but all of them were defeated, and two even died in battle.

Furthermore, on the final day of the great battle, Williams even defeated a Sky-Patrol Beast King.

For a time, Williams's prestige soared greatly.

...After the great battle,

the covert clashes between the Blue Moon Civilization and the Golden Eye Civilization continued, though on a much smaller scale... Earth Martial Artists whose close friends and relatives had died in battle, consumed by anger, continuously penetrated deeper into the Wilderness Area, constantly attempting to ambush and kill Martial Artists of the opposing civilization.

Such civilization wars would erupt once every period of time.

However, none of this affected Fang Yu's inner mind anymore.

He had been cultivating wholeheartedly.

Time came to May 10th.

Fang Yu and Zhuang Yiliu headed to the third base, "Sunset", and once again began a month-long life-and-death tempering, encountering no special circumstances this time.

A month's time.

Teaming up with greatly increased strength, Fang Yu and Zhuang Yiliu killed over a hundred major fierce beasts with astonishing efficiency within a month. In the end, both of their rank coefficients reached 4.9, leaving them just a step away from becoming fifth-tier Civilization Warriors.

Both of them harvested over 500,000 primal points.

At the same time, through selling a large amount of Heaven And Earth Treasures, they obtained hundreds of millions of Star Coins.

June 10th.

After returning to the New Moon Base once more,

Fang Yu first purchased various treasures required to Cultivate the second stage of the Fire Scale Body, and then spent more than a billion Star Coins to buy a large amount of Star Jade, as well as some Heaven And Earth Treasures that could accelerate cultivation progress, used for the enhancement of his life level.

Unhurried and calm.

Whether it was Fang Yu or Zhuang Yiliu, both continued to Cultivate wholeheartedly, strengthening their own strength.

...Time flowed like water.

In the blink of an eye, time had arrived at July 22nd.

Seven months had passed since Fang Yu entered the Secret Realm to Cultivate, and nearly five months had passed since the last small-scale war between the Blue Moon Civilization and the Golden Eye Civilization.

Inside Fang Yu's manor at the Secret Realm Base,

in the underground martial arts room.

Whoosh!

A young man wearing a black martial arts uniform was standing there slowly cultivating his fist techniques. Every move and stance looked extremely slow, but accompanied by the alternation of his fists and palms, wisps of flames were born out of thin air in his fists and palms, and then dispersed to all parts of his body, making his entire person seem shrouded in flames.

His boundless and vast Aura of life permeated out without any concealment.

"Such a strong Aura of life."

At the stairs of the martial arts room, Tang Kui, wearing a suit skirt and possessing a slim figure, watched holding her breath. Even separated by dozens of meters, she could still feel a huge threat.

As if!

Standing there was not a human Martial Artist, but a tyrannosaurus that could tear her apart at any time.

"Giving me the feeling, it seems almost no different from a Sky-Patrol Martial Artist."

"Fang Yu's progress is simply too fast." Tang Kui sighed inwardly.

You must know that she was also an Earth Martial Artist with extraordinary vision. When she first met Fang Yu, Fang Yu was still a Senior Martial Artist, and his strength was far inferior to hers.

How long has it been?

Seven months of time.

She almost watched Fang Yu progress rapidly all the way... This speed of transformation and Breakthrough was extremely rare even after Tang Kui had stayed in the Secret Realm for so many years.

"His star core must be very strong, and his life level should also be extremely high by now."

"Moreover,"

"this kind of control over the Power of Heaven and Earth has probably reached the Peak of the Terrain Realm, right." Tang Kui thought to herself.

Whoosh!

Fang Yu in the center of the martial arts room had slowly withdrawn his fists.

More than four months passed.

Fang Yu's appearance had not changed much, except that his eyes were deeper. Clearly, with the increase in the number of his excursions into the Primal Star and wave after wave of slaughter, his Heart-Nature was further tempered.

Coupled with the rapid improvement of his strength, his Aura became increasingly restrained and profound.

"Tang Kui, what is the matter?" Fang Yu turned his head to look.

The voice was very soft, yet it was like speaking close to Tang Kui's ear... This level of control over the Power of Heaven and Earth already far surpassed the past.

"Patrol Envoy Zhu sent a message; she will arrive in ten minutes." Tang Kui said respectfully.

"Mhm, I know." Fang Yu was pensive.

Ever since his skills officially reached the Peak of the Terrain Realm a month ago, Senior Sister's guidance towards him had become less and less frequent, often coming only once every five or six days.

Not long after,

Zhu Lingxuan, dressed in a red robe, appeared in the underground martial arts room.

"Senior Sister." Fang Yu saluted respectfully.

"Junior Brother, I haven't seen you for several days again." Zhu Lingxuan also revealed a smile: "I won't talk nonsense; strike directly and let Senior Sister see if you've made progress these past few days."

"The old rules."

"Do not use Divine Abilities or secret techniques, attack me with fifty percent of your power." Zhu Lingxuan said.

"Yes." Fang Yu revealed a faint smile upon hearing this.

Ever since he cultivated the Fire Scale Body to the Perfection of the second stage, whenever sparring with Senior Sister, she would not allow him to use Divine Abilities or secret techniques.

Today, Fang Yu's life level was much stronger than when he had just successfully cultivated the second stage of the Fire Scale Body, so Zhu Lingxuan's requirements were naturally stricter.

There was no help for it.

Nowadays, if Fang Yu were to erupt with full force, the terror of his strength would directly rival that of a Sky-Patrol Martial Artist... Even though this martial arts room had been reinforced, it definitely could not withstand it.

Fang Yu now, if he wanted to unleash his full strength to Cultivate saber techniques, generally went to a specialized venue at the Secret Realm Base or tried all kinds of saber technique moves with full force right in the Tianlan Realm.

"Senior Sister, be careful."

Fang Yu flipped his palm to take out his battle saber, and with a movement of his figure, he transformed into a stream of fiery light, fiercely slashing towards Zhu Lingxuan.

Even if only using fifty percent of his power,

under the blessing of the Power of Heaven and Earth, the might of this saber slash from Fang Yu was still incomparably terrifying. The formless gathering of the Power of Heaven and Earth caused Tang Kui in the distance to change expression, and she immediately flashed out of the martial arts room.

With her strength as an Earth Martial Artist, watching closely from nearby could possibly result in injury.

"Peng~"

Zhu Lingxuan extended both palms, her palms also faintly diffusing crimson light, and directly caught it.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Holding his weapon, Fang Yu's saber technique was fierce and sharp; wisps of saber light possessed a surging Aura, fierce and violent like a volcanic eruption. But Zhu Lingxuan was a First-Class Sky-Patrol Envoy after all, possessing extraordinary strength, and easily blocked Fang Yu's offensive time and time again.

Suddenly,

"Hm?" A hint of surprise flashed in Zhu Lingxuan's eyes, because she discovered that Fang Yu's saber technique was beginning to have subtle changes; although it was still unyielding and fierce, it had gained many subtle variations.

The power of every saber slash had leeway.

Every burst of force gained a bit of room for redirection.

Toughness containing softness! Although the absolute explosion of power seemed to have decreased slightly, it made the saber technique even more continuous, bizarre, and erratic... making it even harder to resist.

"Junior Brother's saber technique, is this change good or bad?" Zhu Lingxuan sighed inwardly.

After the two fought fiercely for a long time,

leaving quite a few cracks on the floor of the martial arts room, they finally stopped.

"Please give me your guidance, Senior Sister." Fang Yu said respectfully.

"Is this the initial result of wanting to improve your saber technique that you told me about a month ago?" Zhu Lingxuan's eyes carried a hint of complexity.

"Yes." Fang Yu nodded slightly.

A month ago,

when his skills reached the Peak of the Terrain Realm, he had also studied the mysteries of the first Realm of the Nine Luminaries, "First Luminary", to the extreme... theoretically leaving only one step away from the Unity of Heaven and Man.

Yet this step was extremely difficult.

Countless top Earth Martial Artists were trapped at this step for years without being able to advance.

Through constantly pondering and studying saber techniques, Fang Yu instead gradually discovered the flaws within his own saber technique... His saber technique originated from the Nine Luminaries, and the root of cultivating the Nine Luminaries lay in his Star Phase, the "Sun-Swallowing Python".

The Sun-Swallowing Python belonged to the fire element.

Because of this, his progress in cultivating the Nine Luminaries was extremely fast, and his comprehension of the Power of Fire within the operation of heaven and earth was extremely swift, reaching the Peak of the Terrain Realm in just a few months.

This was an advantage.

Making Fang Yu's saber technique exceptionally aggressive and explosive... However, something too unyielding easily breaks; once such a violent saber technique failed to defeat the enemy in a short time, winning would become difficult.

Even though Fang Yu understood the principle of "combining hardness with softness".

Yet the characteristics of each kind of Power of Heaven and Earth were things Fang Yu could not change... As long as he cultivated saber techniques with the Power of Fire as the core for a day, his saber technique foundation could not be changed.

"You are trying to integrate the mysteries of the Power of Water among all things in heaven and earth?" Zhu Lingxuan inquired.

Her Realm was extremely high, only a step away from stepping into the "Origin Intent of Fire". In such intense sparring and exchanges, she could naturally insightfully perceive the essence of Fang Yu's saber technique.

"Yes." Fang Yu did not hide it either.

This was also the method Fang Yu had thought of.

Pure Power of Fire was too violent... Therefore, the Power of Water should be introduced to balance it. Thus, the blending of water and fire would naturally make the saber technique combine hardness with softness, continuous and endless.

"Junior Brother."

"You are indeed a peerless Genius. Without yet reaching the Unity of Heaven and Man, in such a short time, you have actually already grasped a trace of the mysteries of the Power of Water. Although this trace of the Power of Water's mystery has not even truly entered the Terrain Realm, it is enough to make people gasp in admiration." Zhu Lingxuan lightly sighed: "However, I don't know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing."

"Oh?" Fang Yu was stunned: "Please enlighten me, Senior Sister."

"In reality."

"Martial arts powerhouses who have reached the Unity of Heaven and Man, as long as they are willing, can theoretically slowly sense and comprehend the mysteries of other types of the Power of Heaven and Earth." Zhu Lingxuan said: "However, almost not many Martial Artists would do this."

"Because."

"This easily forms a cognitive barrier, which will affect the comprehension of Origin Intent."
