89: Chapter 89 Crimson Praise Breathing Technique Cultivation Guide

Aside from his own Myriad Furnace Breathing Technique, this was the first time Rowan had truly come into contact with another perfect-grade Breathing Technique!

Moreover, it was hidden within a seemingly ordinary crystal in such a bizarre and secretive manner!

He suppressed the waves of emotion in his heart and began to carefully comb through the Scarlet Hymn Breathing Technique.

The more he analyzed it, the stronger the shock in his heart became.

The conception of this Breathing Technique was eerie and grand; its core was not simply to temper battle qi or strengthen the physical body, but rather aimed to transform the practitioner's very essence of life toward a specific direction through a series of special cultivation steps.

The description of its power was far beyond what an excellent-grade Breathing Technique could compare to, involving the utilization of power on a much higher level.

If the Myriad Furnace Breathing Technique was to refine oneself into a great furnace capable of melting all things...

Then the Scarlet Hymn Breathing Technique was to refine oneself into a surging, unending river of blood!

However, unlike the "melting all methods, all rivers running into the sea" nature of the Myriad Furnace Breathing Technique...

The Scarlet Hymn Breathing Technique had extremely strict prerequisite cultivation conditions.

To practice this Breathing Technique, the practitioner must be—

A Vampire!

Whether born naturally into an ancient vampire family or transformed later through a specific [Ritual] or a high-ranking vampire's [Embrace].

One must satisfy the life essence of a vampire so that their bloodline power could resonate with the Scarlet Hymn Breathing Technique, guiding that tempering power belonging to the scarlet.

"No wonder... Count Farrell didn't practice it."

"He is human; even as a Great Knight, he cannot satisfy this condition."

Rowan understood clearly in his heart.

Count Farrell was colluding with the Crimson Knights and had this perfect Breathing Technique clearly related to the Lord of Scarlet in his hands...

So, did he want to use the power of the scarlet sacrifice to transform himself into a vampire and then practice this Breathing Technique?

He had some guesses in his mind.

But this was not what Rowan was concerned about.

What he was considering was—

The Myriad Furnace Breathing Technique... should be able to melt this Scarlet Hymn Breathing Technique, right?

His class was Myriad Knight, and the core profound meaning lay in [Melting all methods, extracting the essence].

The excellent-grade Breathing Techniques he had melted before had all tempered out corresponding blue traits.

So, if he could melt this perfect-grade Scarlet Hymn Breathing Technique...

Could he extract a perfect-grade trait?

At the thought of this possibility, his heart couldn't help but beat faster, and an uncontrollable, burning desire rose in his chest.

A perfect-grade trait!

If he could successfully melt it, his strength would surely undergo a qualitative leap!

But immediately after, he frowned again—

His LV2 Myriad Manifestations Furnace had already reached the state of perfection for his current realm after melting nine excellent-grade Breathing Techniques.

The furnace walls were solid, and the cycle was stable.

But this also meant... it temporarily could not accommodate or melt any new fuel.

Trying to force it would likely shake his foundation or even cause the furnace to collapse.

"I must wait until I break through to Great Knight and the furnace advances to LV3 before I can attempt to melt this Scarlet Hymn Breathing Technique."

Rowan quickly calmed down and made a judgment.

But breaking through to Great Knight was by no means a small matter.

Especially since the Myriad Furnace Breathing Technique he practiced was a perfect-grade Breathing Technique and had already melted nine major traits; his foundation was incredibly robust.

Once he broke through, the resonance of heaven and earth energy and the phenomenon of battle qi qualitative change would likely be quite astonishing.

Although the location of Snow Velvet Manor was relatively secluded, risks still existed.

He didn't want to be disturbed at the critical moment of breakthrough, and even more so, he didn't want to prematurely expose the fact that he had stepped into the realm of a Great Knight.

He glanced at Elena, who was sleeping soundly on the bed.

This was not a suitable place for a breakthrough.

Rowan made a decision in his heart.

He changed into a set of tight-fitting clothes convenient for movement.

He pushed open the window.

A clear, cold wind carrying fine snow rushed in.

His figure flashed, and he silently leaped out of the window, disappearing into the woods outside Snow Velvet Manor in a few bounds.

He walked for about two kilometers and chose a more remote spot by the Still Lake, facing the open lake surface.

This place was far from the roads and the manor area.

There was only the wailing of the cold wind blowing across the lake and the soughing of the distant forest of pines.

Thick snow covered everything.

The world was a vast expanse of white.

Rowan sat cross-legged behind a large rock sheltered from the wind, adjusted his breathing, and quickly entered the Frost Heart Realm.

All stray thoughts vanished as his mind sank into the Myriad Manifestations Furnace silently boiling within his body.

Without hesitation, his consciousness sank into the system, and 968 free attribute points burned instantly!

They then turned into a torrent, pouring into the furnace!

"Boom—!!!"

As if the first thunderclap of creation had sounded, it exploded in the deepest part of his soul!

Inside his body, the Myriad Manifestations Furnace, which had already reached the limit of LV2, vibrated madly.

Around the Knight life seed, nine-colored radiance rotated, collided, and fused at an unprecedented speed!

The entire furnace seemed to turn into a miniature origin point, nurturing chaos and creation!

"Crack—!"

Under the impact of the pure nourishment transformed from that massive amount of attribute points, the barrier to Great Knight let out an overwhelmed sound of shattering!

There was no need for a Great Knight Potion to assist the breakthrough.

The limit of LV2 was brazenly smashed through!

As the free attribute points continuously decreased, it felt as if something within Rowan's body had been completely broken.

The invisible furnace expanded with a bang!

The phantom-like furnace began to sublimate, its structure becoming more complex and profound, and the furnace fire transformed from the relatively restrained Flame Purple into a more blurred Illusionary Purple!

The LV3 Myriad Manifestations Furnace was officially forged!

The gate to Great Knight swung wide open!

However, this was only the beginning.

The battle qi, which had accumulated to the extreme, and the new furnace emitted a majestic suction force, beginning to madly devour the external heaven and earth energy!

With him as the center.

An invisible energy vortex suddenly formed!

The originally calm elemental energy by the Still Lake was madly stirred and pulled!

Water elements, wind elements in the air, even the thin earth elements deep underground... and even the icy aura contained in the snow falling from the sky, all surged and gathered toward Rowan's location like a hundred rivers returning to the sea!

The thin ice on the lake surface that hadn't completely frozen made cracking sounds, and the lake water below showed faint, abnormal ripples.

The snow on the surrounding trees rustled down.

But this was still far from reaching the peak.

When the external energy flooded in madly and completely fused with the qualitatively changed Ice Flame battle qi within Rowan's body.

The LV3 furnace began a certain fundamental leap.

A phenomenon appeared.

First was the night sky above Rowan's head.

The sky, where snow had been silently falling, seemed to be stirred by an invisible giant hand, slowly rotating to form a huge vortex!

In the center of the vortex, countless tiny points of light emerged from the void, slowly descending toward the top of Rowan's head!

These points of light gathered more and more, gradually outlining an incredibly huge, semi-transparent phantom silhouette dozens of meters above Rowan's head!

It was a furnace!

A phantom of a giant furnace whose grandeur and ancient mystery were hard to describe accurately with words!

The furnace body was not solid.

It seemed to be woven from various colors of starlight and regular patterns.

On the furnace walls, there were faint, fleeting glimpses of mountains, rivers, flowers, birds, fish, insects, the sun, moon, stars, and even various living beings, as if all phenomena in the world were melted into it.

The mouth of the furnace faced the sky, gushing out chaotic-colored misty air, while the countless points of light falling from the void were like fuel thrown into the furnace, continuously sinking into the chaos of the furnace mouth.

The furnace body rotated slowly; every turn triggered a slight vibration in the surrounding space, emitting a vast will and majestic pressure that melted all things!

Faint sounds of wind and thunder, the clashing of metal, the agitation of ice and fire, and even the indistinct prayers and sighs of all living beings came from within the furnace... as if it were truly melting a world!

This phenomenon was so magnificent and unique that it instantly attracted the gaze of countless powerful individuals within Gino City.

It also alerted the massive magic circle monitoring the entire city deep within the Dawn Cathedral.

"Such strong energy fluctuations!"

"In the direction of the Still Lake west of the city!"

"Someone is breaking through to Great Knight?!"

"This phenomenon... I've never seen it before! Is it... a tower? No... it's a furnace! A furnace!"

"A furnace refining the stars, encompassing all phenomena... what Breathing Technique triggered such a phenomenon?!"

"Perfect-grade! It's definitely an aura that only a perfect-grade Breathing Technique can have!"

"Quick! Immediately lock onto the coordinates and find out who is breaking through!"

"The range of the phenomenon is expanding, and the energy level is still climbing!"
