Swallowed Star: Hunyuan Tianlong

Chapter 40: Fighting Will

"However, since you have never received any systematic training, you are unable to turn all these encounters into strength. You should spend the rest of your time in Chaos City to comprehend them." Jufu changed the topic and pointed out Yan Yong's current shortcomings.

"Your clone will stay in this Chaos Ruins. When you enter the virtual universe, I or your senior brother Chaos will teach you the secret techniques and fighting methods. Your original body will continue to comprehend the Giant Axe Chaos Monument and the original laws." The founder of the Giant Axe signaled Yan Yong to release the Tianlong clone.

Tianlong's clone immediately flew out of the world ring in Yan Yong's hand. He had been staying in the world ring for more than 3000 years, and now he could finally see the light of day again.

"Then I'll trouble you, teacher." Tianlong Yan Yong said to the founder of the giant axe while sitting aside.

"Yes." The Chaos City Lord nodded and took over the conversation, "You got the inheritance from the Lord of Liuyun Palace before, so there should be some treasures that you can't use, right?"

"There is an offensive treasure that cannot be used." Yan Yong flipped his hand and summoned the high-level offensive treasure Turquoise Hammer and handed it to the Lord of Chaos City. As for the other treasures, even if they cannot be used now, there will be a chance to use them later, and he can also give them to his clones after he obtains other clones.

"The quality of the treasure is okay. I will open a channel for you to exchange treasures later. You can contribute this treasure to the tribe to obtain corresponding treasure points, and then exchange it for the treasure you need." The Lord of Chaos City took the turquoise hammer and helped Yan Yong identify it before handing it back to him.

"I saw you choose my Giant Axe Chaos Monument before. Is there any reason? It seems like you have a special feeling towards my Giant Axe Chaos Monument. Can you tell me about it?" Giant Axe was also very curious about what the special fluctuation on the other party was. He actually had a special feeling towards his Giant Axe Chaos Monument.

The founder of the Great Axe was not the strongest among the True Gods of the original universe in terms of his talent for understanding the laws. It could even be said that he had no advantage among the True Gods. However, he was far ahead of other strong men in the three reincarnation eras. He was able to create the 8th-level secret method on his own without the strongest treasure to comprehend it. This was all because of his passion for the axe.

Day after day of studying the axe technique allowed him to walk his own path. It can even be said that if he had the guidance of the 'Axe Way', he would have had the opportunity to comprehend the 'Axe Way'.

However, since the original universe had no guidance on the 'Tao', the giant axe could only grope in the air. This groping finally achieved some success and was considered to be on the road to the 'Tao of the Axe'.

However, due to his extreme love for the axe, he accidentally realized a kind of 'axe state of mind' when practicing axe techniques. This state of mind can suppress the opponent's laws and secrets in a battle at the level of the Universe Master, while strengthening his own secrets.

Although reaching the level of the strongest person in the universe is no longer of any help in battle, it does have a slight advantage in the creation of axe techniques, allowing the giant axe to successfully create an 8th-level true secret technique. After obtaining the most powerful treasure, the 'Divine Axe', he was able to comprehend the 8th-level top secret technique in a short period of time.

"I don't know what it is, but it is hidden in my body. Only the emotional fluctuations brought by the excitement when I went to the battlefield outside the domain for the first time can trigger this "artistic state." Yan Yong spread his hands, "Later, after strengthening it through my innate secret method, I was able to actively trigger this "artistic state". Then I had that feeling when I first saw your Chaos Monument, Teacher Jufu."

"Hmm? An interesting ability." The Great Axe lowered his head slightly and stroked his chin and said, "You can try to activate your innate secret method in front of me to draw out that artistic conception."

Yan Yong nodded, and his aura suddenly changed, and the supreme secret technique, the Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon, was activated.

The power of the world gradually transformed into immortal divine power, and at the same time, a supreme aura emanated from this immortal divine power.

"Fight, fight, fight."

The ancient war sound, like the mighty sound of a huge bell, came from Yan Yong's chest, and his momentum was raised to a higher level.

"Hmm?" The giant axe frowned and looked at Yan Yong. Then an equally strange tiny wave came from the giant axe, and finally a towering giant axe condensed in mid-air. That was the 'artistic conception of the axe' belonging to the giant axe.

The towering giant axe slowly moved forward and collided with Yan Yong's ancient battle sound.

Rumble~~~
The two waves converged and produced a violent collision, but all this was nothing in the Chaos Ruins.

Soon, under the guidance of the founder of the giant axe, the collision finally subsided. "Sure enough, it is something of the same level as my 'Axe Artistic Realm'." The giant axe praised, "'Axe Artistic Realm' is a strange fluctuation that I comprehended when I was comprehending the axe method. I named it 'Axe Artistic Realm'. There should be no such thing in all the inheritances of the original universe. I also comprehended it accidentally, which has greatly helped me create the secret method related to 'Axe'. Other comprehenders of the giant axe chaos monument cannot comprehend this fluctuation, and can only imitate and create through the process of continuous adaptation. Even this kind of imitation creation makes the secret method they create more exquisite and more powerful."

“And you are born with the ability to master a similar kind of fluctuation. This is your talent, Yan Yong. Don’t let it down.” The founder of the giant axe sighed.

"Please teach me how to master this 'fighting spirit'." Yan Yong's eyes lit up. Sure enough, the giant axe had mastered a similar ability.

Through the giant axe's story, Yan Yong roughly understood what these two fluctuations were. 'Tao' is an existence above the laws, which is the setting in "Snow Eagle Lord". Tao can only be comprehended by oneself. If you reach the eternal level, you will be the master.

The 'axe artistic conception' of the giant axe and his own fighting spirit can barely be called the prototype of 'Tao', but it is still far from the Tao, it just has a direction.

"'Warring States'? It's a good name. It is indeed as strong and powerful as the ancient war sounds." The Great Axe pondered the name.

"In my opinion, your 'fighting will' is also a rudiment of fluctuation, but it has not yet taken shape. You need to 'toughen' it into shape in your future practice." The founder of the giant axe smiled and instructed, "Think carefully about what you want to 'toughen' it into."

"A prototype?" Yan Yong pondered. "At present, what I am best at is the use of halberds. Do I need to 'refine' it into a 'halberd artistic conception' similar to Master Giant Axe's?"

The Dao of weapons was originally impossible to speak out in the original universe, but the giant axe accidentally comprehended a rudimentary form of it, so as long as he comprehended it and named it, he could speak out.

"Any foundation will eventually be transformed into one's own strength. No matter how much 'Dao' you can comprehend in the future, it is most suitable for you to refine it into 'Jian Dao' at present."

Yan Yong finally made up his mind and said to the giant axe with a firm gaze: "Master Giant Axe, I have decided to forge it into the 'artistic conception of the halberd'."

"'The artistic conception of the halberd'?" Jufu raised his eyebrows. He had seen the other party fighting in the virtual universe. His halberd skills were quite crude. He was planning to teach him to abandon the halberd and use the axe. After all, he was best at axe skills, so it would be easy to teach him.

Considering his aptitude, changing weapons would not be an obstacle to his cultivation. On the contrary, with his own guidance in practicing axe techniques, he would be able to reach a very high level in a short period of time.

"Don't you consider abandoning the halberd and using an axe?" Although it is best to practice weapons based on the master's wishes, he still wants to confirm the reason.

"This halberd of mine is the exclusive treasure of my special life clone. I will have the opportunity to continue to advance in the future. Besides, I like using the halberd very much, so I don't want to give it up easily." Yan Yong explained.

"I understand." Giant Axe nodded. He had never seen a treasure that could continuously upgrade, but the vastness of the original universe contained countless possibilities, and even countless reincarnation eras that were constantly destroyed and reborn. There was also the existence of "ancient civilizations", so it was nothing surprising that a treasure could "upgrade".

"Since you want to practice the way of halberd, you must hone your halberd skills well." The Great Axe sent his virtual universe number to Yan Yong, "I have set up opponents in the virtual universe specifically for you to practice the halberd skills. You can continuously upgrade and become stronger according to your practice progress."

"When you defeat 500 opponents, your halberd skills will be qualified at the realm master level. When you defeat 1000 opponents, you will be qualified at the 'invincible king' level. When you defeat 1500 opponents, your halberd skills will be perfected. You can start trying to transform your 'battle will' into the 'halberd artistic conception'. At that time, you can freely exert this power."

"But your secret talent is quite unique. It allows you to control this power as if you were assisted by a god. Work hard." The giant axe patted Yan Yong's shoulder and encouraged him.
