599: Initial realization of self-created martial arts

At this moment, behind Xiao Fan was a fountain with flowing sky-blue spring water, which was beautiful and captivating under the sunlight.

However, the originally clear and pleasant sound of flowing water was now covered by Senior Brother's heavy breathing.

Xiao Fan lowered his head and swallowed, selectively ignoring his furious Senior Brother beside him, and picked up the dark yellow package at his feet, then entered the voice command.

“Click.”

The package, with its all-metal interior, automatically unfolded. A cuboid quickly spread out into a flat rectangle, covered with dense runes of various colors from different Martial Arts.

The dazzling array of Martial Arts runes immediately made Xiao Fan's eyes light up.

How refreshing!

Being the Young Lord of the Hall of Gods Execution was truly great.

This Qian Yi wasn't as crazy as Senior Brother said he was.

Zheng Qiong, who was beside him, saw the Martial Arts runes Qian Yi had brought and snorted coldly to himself, then turned and left.

Xiao Fan then looked down and counted them one by one.

He was shocked on the spot.

There were a total of 27 runes!

One of them was Qian Yi's own Martial Arts, twelve were Illusory God Level amplification types that the foreign races originally possessed, and the remaining fourteen were Ancestor Martial Arts from ancient powerful alien races!

This was great. Adding the original twelve Human Race ones and the one Senior Brother gave him.

This instantly boosted his progress to Dominator, reaching (40/50)!

Only ten more remained!

This number was still somewhat large, but Xiao Fan wasn't worried at all, because he still hadn't gotten the Martial Arts of the six Supreme Creators, including Liu Yuan.

Zheng Qiong also told him.

“Don’t forget Big Baldy and Second Baldy. Those two seem to be with Wu Kong. Ye Kuang should know where they are, so you contact them yourself!”

“I’m going to catch that problematic girl now. I’ll get her Awakened first. I’ve also contacted Liu Yuan and the others, so just wait to receive your goods.”

“Oh, right, I also need to go find the Sea Demon Empress.”

“You go ahead and be busy. Most of the Ancestor Martial Arts Qian Yi brought are very complete, reaching True God Level. They include amplification types, transformation types, combat skills, and so on. You’ll need to dissect them yourself.”

“Dissecting Ancestor Martial Arts will bring you unimaginable benefits, and it also paves the way for your future Supreme Law.”

“Sigh, but I can’t help but wonder if all of this is part of the Lord of the Temple’s plan. After all, treasures of the Ancestor Martial Arts level are impossible for even me to obtain in the outside world, yet you get fourteen of them here. It’s a bit dreamlike, hard to believe.”

“Something abnormal must be evil...”

“Forget it, I can’t figure it out. You go be busy.”

“But remember, fortune and misfortune are intertwined.”

Xiao Fan nodded silently. The following days were a cycle of repetition.

Absorbing source energy, letting the Black Hole Rune absorb elements, dissecting Martial Arts—this cycle repeated day after day, but he would also pay attention to news from the border.

Time flew by, and another two months passed. Xiao Fan’s Realm reached Star Stage Three. The further he went, the slower it became.

Only one year remained until the invaders arrived, so it seemed impossible to Breakthrough to Moon Rank Evolver before then.

During this period, the world's landscape was changing with each passing day.

The war had been going on for half a year and was gradually entering a white-hot stage.

To date, the death toll for the Human Race was nearly eighty million, which was not too many for a base of 20 billion people.

The death toll for the foreign races, however, was an astronomical figure: over five billion had died, of which two billion were low-Realm cannon fodder. All seven major war zones were now a bloody mess.

What was terrifying was that Arthas and the Demon Emperor’s strength suddenly had a qualitative leap one day, but fortunately, the Human Race had many Peak Martial Gods, and there was also an Original Creator, Li Fufeng, so the problem remained not too big.

But now, all foreign races were calling out one name: Helden.

Seeing the transformation of Arthas and the Demon Emperor, the foreign races saw hope for victory. They wanted Helden to join the war as well.

But Helden still seemed to have vanished, his whereabouts unknown.

The upcoming war would be even more brutal because the foreign races' morale had risen somewhat, and more people were fearless of death. Furthermore, Arthas and the Demon Emperor had issued new policies.

All resources in the Storage Rings of the fallen would be distributed as benefits to the remaining warriors.

This policy led to more and more foreign races willing to go to the border. Their thinking was simple.

Either they die, or if they don't, they will change their destiny in a Heaven-Defying way.

Arthas and the Demon Emperor knew too well how to make people sacrifice themselves.

All the policies they issued, in the final analysis, were doing one thing.

Breaking the shackles of class solidification.

Or rather, heroes emerge in troubled times.

This world war would undoubtedly lead to a major reshuffle of the entire Blue Star's landscape.

Those who dared to fight now and survived would certainly have a place among the foreign races in the future.

Coupled with the fact that most foreign races had been oppressed too miserably over the past millennium, they now saw hope for a change in destiny and naturally did not fear death.

But Jiang Shenyi told Xiao Fan that he still didn't need to care about these things and should just continue doing his own business.

Because the foreign races had no chance of turning the tables at all.

No matter how strong Arthas and the Demon Emperor were, what good would it do?

Many Martial Gods had not yet participated in the war, but were instead comprehending Law and advancing their own strength.

Soon, all Human Race Martial Gods would reach the same level as the outside world, all possessing Law power, and the foreign races would still be defeated.

At most, in another half a year, the war would be completely over.

Xiao Fan sighed and continued to dissect the Ancestor Martial Arts in his hands day after day.

Another two months passed.

After a total of four months, Xiao Fan finally completely dissected the last Ancestor Martial Arts. He immediately gained a whole new understanding. Although he was still far from the Supreme Law.

But he had already vaguely touched the threshold of self-created Martial Arts.

At this time, Zheng Qiong brought back five True God Level self-created Martial Arts, from Liu Yuan, Zhou Mi, Sword Apprentice, Hao Nian, and Zhou Bai.

One from the Sea Demon Empress was not brought back.

Her Reincarnation had still not been found.

But Zheng Qiong saw that Xiao Fan had an Epiphany, so he immediately gave him these five, telling him to dissect these five Martial Arts first, to press on with the advantage, and to comprehend his own self-created Martial Arts in one fell swoop.

Another half a month passed.

Xiao Fan finished dissecting those five, and finally, a sense of profound enlightenment filled his heart.

Zheng Qiong had once told Xiao Fan that self-created Martial Arts are generally divided into three parts: active amplification (allowing oneself to possess Beyond-limit power), skills (encompassing Physical Body, elemental, and spiritual powers), and auxiliary (including transformation-type Martial Arts, all for self-assistance).

Now that he had learned so many amplification types, he finally understood the mystery of the first part.

True amplification should be about breaking through Bottlenecks and the constraints of the Laws of Heaven and Earth.

During this time, he had learned so many Illusory God Level amplification Martial Arts, but in reality, the improvement to his own combat power was negligible, because he had misunderstood one thing.

Strictly speaking, what he had learned before was not true amplification, but merely Martial Arts that developed his own potential.

That's why it's often said that amplification types have limited effects and learning too many is meaningless.

The fundamental reason is that those Martial Arts are only developing potential.

After potential is fully developed, learning them again naturally yields weak or even no effect.

True amplification, on the other hand, aims to Breakthrough the constraints between heaven and earth, to unleash power that surpasses your original limit within a certain period, similar to a lightning-fire clash, a concept like 1+1 = 10.

To achieve this, one must have a very clear understanding of one's own structure. Someone else's amplification type might achieve 1+1 = 3 for them, but for oneself, it would be at most 1+1 = 2.

So, thinking this way, those Ancestor Martial Arts, in terms of “amplification,” were actually limited for the Disciples of those races. They could only achieve 100% development. Any higher would require the user to achieve it themselves.

Now, Xiao Fan had completely comprehended his own unique amplification skill, which allowed him to unleash 30% more power than his original strength for one hour.
