Chapter 1143 The True Power

Ding Hao could only protect himself first.

In the end, he chose to stay in the vacuum between the magma and the sea.

Because only in this area, the time-space turbulence seemed to be slightly weaker.

The gold and silver Yin and Yang Pisces wrapped around Ding Hao and turned into an extreme pattern of Yin and Yang. The pattern enveloped him and blocked the killing intent of heaven and earth. The power of the Twelve Meridians and Six Strange Veins in Ding Hao’s body was roaring wildly. The apertures, like big stars, once again turned into the shape of stars in Ding Hao’s body and came out of him.

The big stars, with different ice and fire elements, were surrounding Ding Hao, as if they were from two different galaxies, operating in their own rhythms and trajectories.

The energy flowing between different stars was like the energy of the universe, or the magnificent nebula, evolving into some new power little by little.

These two completely different kinds of energy were born and destroyed, constantly evolving and forming a strange energy shield. It was located in the gold and silver Yin and Yang Pisces Diagram and was Ding Hao’s second layer of protection.

Under the fierce killing intent of heaven and earth, Ding Hao had to exert all his strength.

However, as time went by, the killing intent of heaven and earth became fiercer and fiercer. The surrounding space turbulence seemed to be the end of the world. The seawater and the plates of magma intertwined with each other were like broken mirrors, flowing around Ding Hao’s body. The power of destruction and vitality formed chaotic turbulence as if the turbid Qi and the fresh Qi had been mixed together again. The killing intent of tribulation was everywhere.

Ding Hao tried his best to resist.

But as time went by, the all-pervasive killing intent gradually penetrated the Yin and Yang Pisces Diagram and the shield formed by the meridians and apertures. When it got to him, Ding Hao felt a sharp pain in his body and felt as if he were about to crack.

“The power of this killing intent of heaven and earth is truly terrifying!”

Ding Hao was extremely shocked.

If he had not integrated the 17 kinds of Jade in Stone into his body, he would have been seriously injured at this moment.

He hadn’t expected to run into such an unexpected situation before he even had the chance to interact with the Sea Clan.

“I wonder how Yiruo and the others are doing. Since the Sea Clan has evacuated those cities, it means that they have expected the arrival of this killing intent of heaven and earth. Maybe they have a solution. I guess Yiruo and Ke’er are in too much danger.” Thinking of this, Ding Hao felt a little relieved.

The Sword Master said, “Right now, you should focus on protecting yourself. Don’t get distracted. According to my and that crazy woman’s observations, this killing tribulation isn’t complete. It’s very likely that it’s only within the scope of the Seven Seas, and won’t affect the entire world!”

The killing intent of heaven and earth was almost impossible to dissolve, but according to the description of the Saber Master and the Sword Master, it was just at the last stage, far from the tribulation that had destroyed the Immortal Period, so it should not have worked on the whole world. Maybe it had only existed in the Seven Seas, and that was why Ding Hao could hold on until then.

In other words, the relationship between this kind of incomplete killing tribulation and the one at the last stage of the Immortal Period was similar to that between a world-destroying earthquake and the aftermath. As long as Ding Hao could hold on and survive this period, he would naturally be safe and sound after the killing tribulation dissipated.

Hearing the words of the two old monsters, Ding Hao felt a little relieved.

As long as the killing intent of heaven and earth wouldn’t hurt those he cared about and cherished, it would be an extremely fortunate thing, and he would no longer have to worry about them and get distracted.

However, as time flew, even if it was an incomplete killing tribulation, Ding Hao gradually felt hard to hold on.

Fine and dense blood beads had oozed out of the surface of his body, and his skin was in intense pain as if it had been scraped by a knife. Ding Hao felt like a piece of porcelain that was about to be crushed by external forces at any time.

“This may be an opportunity for you. You need to fight against it carefully. The cultivation of martial artists is meant to go against heaven’s will. The killing intent emitted by heaven and earth may be the best chance for you to temper yourself. You should know that the killing intent in the Immortal Period was out of control. It was too fierce and violent. Even immortals died, so no one could survive. But this time, the killing intent of heaven and earth is much weaker. You have a great chance,” the Sword Master said.

The Saber Master also said, “Yes. As a martial artist, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for you to sharpen yourself with the killing tribulation of heaven and earth!”

The two old monsters, who had gradually figured out the situation, gradually felt relieved and began to be optimistic.

Ding Hao did not speak.

He cast aside all distracting thoughts and became ethereal. The Devil Saber and the Rusted Sword appeared before they merged into the gold-silver Yin and Yang Pisces Diagram to enhance the power of protection. The Qi of the two meridians in Ding Hao’s body also roared and ran at the fastest speed. Large stars appeared one after another, covering his whole body. At the same time, he opened his eyes. Runes and beams of light flowed, but his eyes could not see anything. His sight was blank. He was strengthening his defense power with the power of the pupil technique.

The fight against the killing intent of heaven and earth was definitely the most dangerous scene that Ding Hao had ever experienced.

Just as the Qi power was running at the fastest speed, the Invincible Fighting Method was automatically running. This magical skill, which was once called the best cultivation method in both ancient and modern times by the Saber Master and the Sword Master, seemed to have been ignored and covered by Ding Hao.

In addition to using the Mind Essential to enhance the cultivation of Divine Senses, Ding Hao did not spend too much time and energy on cultivating the Heart Essential and the Fight Essential mainly for two reasons.

For one thing, the cultivation of the two Essentials was too complicated and demanding. For example, the Heart Essential acquired him to cultivate five kinds of cultivation methods of different attributes, and only after the integration could he have a small achievement. In this way, it required him to practice hundreds of cultivation methods of different grades. It was too difficult and time consuming to collect them one by one. Once the Heart Essential could not be broken through, the ten fighting skills of the Fight Essential would naturally not be activated. Although the huge power of the Invincible Fighting Method was an irresistible temptation for many martial artists, it was a little useless for Ding Hao, who had the bloodline of the Saintly Being of Saber and Sword and would not have bottlenecks in cultivation, because he could still constantly break through and get powerful strength by using ordinary cultivation methods.

The second reason was that Ding Hao wanted to take a unique path in martial arts. The saber and the sword were always indispensable to him. If he was distracted to practice the powerful but time-consuming Invincible Fighting Method, his energy would definitely be distracted.

Therefore, for a long time, Ding Hao had not completely mastered the Heart Essential and the Fight Essential.

The Saber Master and the Sword Master also acquiesced to Ding Hao’s choice.

There were countless miraculous skills and magical powers in the world. Only suitable ones could help him reach the peak.

However, at this moment, when Ding Hao almost used up all his trump cards as he exerted his strength to the extreme, it seemed that some mysterious opportunity was triggered by accident. His cultivation of the Heart Essential, which was only at the second level, suddenly soared wildly and broke through layer by layer like a hot knife cutting through butter. In the blink of an eye, his cultivation level of the Heart Essential reached the peak of the realm. It was like the surging and roaring torrent instantly broke through the blockage of the river, reopened the blockage of the rocks, and poured down crazily. Without a path, it forcibly created a riverbed and got straight to the sea.

The icy mysterious strength in the Twelve Meridians and the fiery mysterious strength in the Six Strange Veins began to merge under the activation of the Heart Essential, entering a strange fusion state.

A new kind of power was instantly generated.

Ding Hao had nothing in his heart, and an idea flashed through his mind.

This new power had appeared in the past. When Ding Hao activated the power of the saber and the sword at the same time, there were several times that this new power could be inspired, but it was only temporary. This new power seemed to be different from traditional mysterious strength. It was a higher-level and more horrifying power. Ding Hao relied on this kind of power to defeat his opponents several times and reverse the situation.

After that, Ding Hao had also wanted to study and master this power carefully.

Unfortunately, not every time when he launched his saber and sword at the same time that this kind of power could be activated. It was impossible to predict its failure.

But this time, it was different.

Ding Hao could clearly feel that when the Heart Essential was activated to the peak state, the icy and fiery mysterious strength in the Twelve Meridians and the Six Strange Veins had begun an irreversible fusion. It was not a flash in the pan, but a step-by-step process. He could also feel that even if this practice ended, this new power would still exist in his body and would never disappear.

Ding Hao simply stopped thinking about the reason. He opened his mind and entered a meditative state, allowing the Invincible Fighting Method to run in his body.

At some point, he could no longer feel the invasion of the power of the world’s killing tribulation outside.

That intense pain seemed to have disappeared.

If it weren’t for the blood marks on the surface of his body, Ding Hao would have thought that the killing tribulation had passed.

The Invincible Fighting Method was running automatically in Ding Hao’s body. That method was like a catalyst, incredibly changing the power in Ding Hao’s system so that the icy mysterious strength in the Twelve Meridians and the fiery mysterious strength in the Six Strange Veins began an unprecedented fusion. The Invincible Fighting Method, known as the strongest method in history, gave play to incredible power at this moment.

“Maybe we were wrong about the Invincible Fighting Method,” the Saber Master muttered to herself and communicated with the Sword Master. She did not interrupt Ding Hao.

The Sword Master was also a little shocked and said, “It deserves to be called the greatest cultivation method in history. It turns out that its real power is not the cultivation of mysterious strength and improving strength, but… Is it a… a cultivation method of that level?”

The Saber Master nodded and said, “It’s very likely. You and I have only heard of the Invincible Fighting Method for a long time and have never practiced it. Even in our era, no one has ever succeeded in cultivating this incredible method, so it’s not strange that no one knows the mystery contained in this cultivation method.”

“No wonder in that era, even those supreme beings coveted this cultivation method.” The Sword Master sighed. He found that his previous judgment was wrong. He smiled bitterly and said, “Fortunately, Little Chap Ding had his own idea. He did not give up other ways of martial arts to practice that cultivation method all the time. Such an accidental choice is the best way. If he could not resist the temptation of the greatest cultivation method throughout the ages like others and destroyed all his other cultivation methods to practice the Invincible Fighting Method, I’m afraid that he would still have a long way to go before he could have such an opportunity.”
