24: God-Slaying Technique

Ji Mo paced back and forth in the Body Refining Area, lingering for a long time.

The Body Refining Cultivation Techniques displayed here were dazzling and quite numerous.

Ji Mo had a clear goal in mind. What he was looking for was not an ordinary Body Refining Cultivation Technique, but a unique existence where the Cultivation Technique itself came with an offensive Skill.

After all, a simple Body Refining method held little meaning for him.

The Hegemonic Heaven Refining Art he Cultivated was practically a bug-like existence; as long as he had a Yao Beast to assist him, he could perform Body Refining without restriction, continuously enhancing his Physical Body's strength.

However, the current Ji Mo, despite his powerful Physical Body strength, was like an ordinary person who understood nothing; when fighting others, he relied purely on brute force, lacking any technique.

Therefore, what he most urgently needed now was a technique that could fully utilize his powerful strength, thereby enhancing his Practical Combat Ability.

Ji Mo, constantly moving between the dazzling array of Cultivation Technique Jade Slips, wore an expression of focus and persistence.

Occasionally, he would stop, pick up a Jade Slip, and then carefully and slowly inject Spiritual Qi into it.

The content of the Cultivation Technique surged into his consciousness like a tide, and he quickly browsed through it.

At other times, he would frown slightly and gently shake his head, seemingly dissatisfied, before returning the Jade Slip to its original place and continuing his search.

Finally, in an inconspicuous corner, Ji Mo's gaze was drawn to an ancient Secret Manual—the God Slaying Art.

The moment his fingertip touched this Secret Manual, a strange aura rushed towards him.

This Cultivation Technique did not look complicated, yet once mastered, its "lethality" was overwhelmingly tyrannical.

There was a reason why the word "tyrannical" was used to describe it.

The difficulty of Cultivating this Cultivation Technique was not too great; Body Refining Martial Artists with strength exceeding 30,000 Jin could practice it.

But what was shocking was that after mastering it, it could instantly increase a person's attack power by 2 to 10 times.

Such a powerful amplification effect would move anyone who heard of it.

However, accompanying this was an enormous price.

To be precise, this extra attack power was not cost-free. The moment the attack was launched, the Cultivator themselves had to withstand half of the corresponding level of recoil force, and this recoil force acted directly upon the internal organs, Meridians, and bones.

If the Cultivator's own Physical Body strength could not withstand the recoil brought by the offensive power.

Then there was only one final outcome—the so-called "One-Second Real Man."

While the enemy might be killed by the powerful attack force, the user would also be shaken to death by the recoil force at the exact same moment, resulting in a tragic ending where both perish together.

Ji Mo, clutching the God Slaying Art, quickly walked up to Elder Mu and said with a firm tone, "Elder Mu, I choose this one."

Upon hearing this, Elder Mu looked at Ji Mo with eyes full of surprise and confusion, as if he were looking at an idiot.

"Kid, are you planning to commit suicide? Although this Cultivation Technique is incredibly powerful, you clearly understand the consequences."

"It is said that the creator of this Cultivation Technique, hopeless for revenge back then, angrily created this type of mutual destruction Cultivation Technique."

"This Cultivation Technique originally had no rank distinction. After all, if one's Physical Body isn't strong enough, even forced Cultivation won't allow them to unleash high-multiplier attack power. They might get shaken to death before killing the enemy, making it less effective than Cultivating other powerful Cultivation Techniques without side effects."

"When this Cultivation Technique first circulated, due to its astonishing battle record, it was briefly classified as a Heaven-rank Cultivation Method."

"But as you can see, hundreds or thousands of years have passed, and no one has truly been able to unleash the so-called 'God Slaying Might.' Over time, no one was interested in it anymore."

"Our Peerless Sect obtained this Cultivation Technique purely by Opportunity. It has since been kept in the Profound Rank Area, ignored and covered in dust."

"Elder Mu, this Disciple has already made up his mind, I choose it. If my Physical Body truly cannot withstand the recoil force, I will choose a different Cultivation Technique then, treating this one as a special means to be used occasionally."

Ji Mo's eyes revealed unwavering conviction.

"Very well then, I hope you won't regret this in the future."

Seeing that Ji Mo's mind was made up, Elder Mu no longer insisted on persuading him.

After all, everyone has their own unique path of Cultivation Dao.

Ji Mo returned to his residence and found that Ji Ruoxi was still in seclusion.

He softly instructed the big cat to continue guarding the vicinity and not to slack off.

After that, he walked straight into the house, preparing to study and practice the God Slaying Art.

He slowly opened the first chapter of the Secret Manual. Upon opening it, he saw some obscure runes and ancient characters. Ji Mo focused intently and gradually understood that the first chapter described the basic operational route of the Cultivation Technique.

Following the guidance, he tried to guide his Vitality Qi force to circulate along a specific trajectory.

Immediately, a strange power arose within his body, as if countless tiny needles were gently pricking his Meridians, causing a slight stinging sensation.

As the Vitality Qi circulated, Ji Mo began to feel the uniqueness of the God Slaying Art.

This power was not as gentle as the techniques he had Cultivated before; instead, it was full of violence and wildness. If Ji Mo did not possess the Physical Body granted by the Hegemonic Heaven Refining Art, he likely would not have been able to continue practicing.

After an unknown amount of time, when Ji Mo completed the first cycle of the Cultivation Technique, he felt as if his Physical Body had become even more refined.

It seemed as though a casual finger, punch, or palm could unleash his full body strength—this must be the miraculous effect brought by the Cultivation Technique: extreme Physical Body Combat Power.

However, this was only the beginning. Feeling the burden the Cultivation Technique placed on him, Ji Mo sensed that the pressure his internal organs, Meridians, and bones could withstand meant that two times the recoil force should not be a problem.

Ji Mo continued to practice. The Body Tempering function inherent in the Cultivation Technique continuously strengthened Ji Mo's Physical Body. A day of practice quickly passed.

Ji Mo finally adapted to the pressure brought by the Cultivation Technique. His own attack power had achieved a qualitative improvement. Now, Ji Mo could unleash two times his attack power when going all out, which was terrifying.

Slowly standing up, he walked out of the door and stood in the courtyard. Looking up at the sky, Ji Mo felt excited. He could finally establish a firm footing in Wushuang City.

Just as Ji Mo was immersed in joy, a powerful aura suddenly came from next door: Ji Ruoxi had achieved a Breakthrough.

Ji Mo walked to the front of the room, and Ji Ruoxi slowly walked out, having reached the Acquired 8th Realm.

"Congratulations, Sister Xi, on Breaking through to the Acquired 8th Realm." Ji Mo congratulated her.

"I still have to thank Brother Mo. Without the Medicinal Pills you gave me, I wouldn't have been able to achieve a Breakthrough so quickly."

"Alright, there's no need for us siblings to keep thanking each other."

"Sister Xue, now that you are at the Acquired 8th Realm, you can go to the Mission Hall to take on missions for experience. The Contribution Points you earn can be used to exchange for other types of Cultivation Techniques and Martial Skills."

"You don't need to worry about Cultivation resources. Your brother here has plenty of spiritual qi pills."

"I was thinking the same thing, Brother Mo. Constantly staying in seclusion to bitterly Cultivate isn't the solution. We still need experience, and all aspects of strength must keep up with the current Cultivation progress," Ji Ruoxi agreed.

"Oh right, Sister Ruoxi, you must take the big cat with you when you go out. Song Dong, the one from the day we entered the city, is an enemy of our Ji Family and might target you. He is at the Acquired 10th Cultivation Level. Taking the big cat ensures your self-protection."

"Then what about you?" Ji Ruoxi asked worriedly.

"Sister Xi, do you think I would still be afraid of him, given the strength I used to subdue the big cat? I just haven't had the Opportunity to deal with him yet. Don't worry."

Hearing this, Ji Ruoxi looked shocked and somewhat disbelieving.

"I didn't expect Brother Mo's strength to become so terrifying in just a few days! I need to work harder too."

After Ji Ruoxi left with the big cat, Ji Mo took out the Sound Transmission Talisman that had been left after parting ways with Nangong Xue'er and the others, and sent a message to Nangong Xue'er.

He wanted to ask them about Song Dong's situation. Now that he had the strength, revenge should not wait overnight, lest it cause him trouble later. Crushing him sooner meant he could Cultivate in peace earlier.
