90: Nine Heavens

The Seven Kill Saber Technique was originally just the most common saber technique taught by Prince Mu's army.

It was only after Gu Chang cultivated the Xuanbing Blood Fiend Skill that the power of the Seven Kill Saber Technique was truly unleashed, but that power was merely limited to being enhanced by internal Qi, becoming faster and more ruthless.

Logically, this should have been the limit of the Seven Kill Saber Technique, as it was only a common military saber technique.

However, later, Gu Chang broke through to the Refining Spirit Realm, causing the Xuanbing Blood Fiend Skill and the Divine Statue Skill to complete their Fusion, creating the existence of a Martial Dao Divine Paragon, which elevated his mastery of martial arts to a higher level, and he even used the Seven Kill Saber Technique to manifest a special 'momentum'!

Later, Gu Chang further studied and researched most Refining Spirit Cultivation Techniques, absorbing various Moves, and forcibly evolving the Xuanbing Blood Fiend Skill into the most powerful Refining Spirit Cultivation Technique.

The Seven Kill Saber Technique also continuously grew during this process, incorporating many other Cultivation Technique Moves, becoming even more dangerous and terrifying.

It wasn't until Gu Chang broke through to the True Martial Realm that this saber technique completely transformed into a Martial Dao True Form of Gu Chang!

White Tiger Seven Kill, Ghoul Soul Reaping, Ferocious God, Soul Devouring!

Under such power, a Refining Spirit Expert was nothing more than a mere chicken before the White Tiger True Form.

"Your Majesty's heaven-defying talent, we are willing to bow down!"

"We only wish Your Majesty could impart the method of Breakthrough; for this, we are willing to be at Your Majesty's command!"

Soon, these Refining Spirit Experts all sincerely bowed to Gu Chang. After witnessing such despair-inducing power, they now only had one thought: they must break through to the True Martial Realm! No matter the cost!

"Haha, you all also have the opportunity to reach this Realm!"

"Next, you can diligently study this power, and in three months, I will naturally explain the Dao of True Martial!"

Gu Chang did not directly agree to their request but gave them the same answer.

"Yes, we understand!"

Although there was a slight disappointment in their hearts, they also understood that even if they wanted to break through, it wouldn't be successful in a short time.

Soon, news of this confrontation spread. When the martial artists outside learned that the Divine Martial Great Emperor could still easily win against eight Refining Spirit Experts alone, all martial artists became even more frenzied.

However, for Gu Chang, the next steps were equally crucial. He needed to meticulously sort out his own power and theoretical foundation and advance further based on that foundation.

At the same time, he also needed to order the Martial Arts Academy, Engineering Academy, and others to compile a more precise and detailed Breakthrough process.

After all, his own Breakthrough was actually achieved through repeated instances of death; if other martial artists were to follow suit, the success rate would surely be pitifully low, or perhaps no one would be able to break through at all.

Therefore, a more scientific and rational Breakthrough process and method became particularly important.

With Gu Chang's own experience, combined with better external conditions, the success rate of Breakthrough would inevitably increase.

"Compared to the Refining Spirit Realm, the True Martial Realm indeed has a qualitative improvement. More crucially, upon reaching this Realm, one's power is no longer confined to the body but can leverage a portion of the great power of heaven and earth with one's own will and True Qi. Only then can I easily crush ten Refining Spirit-level Experts!"

"Thus, with me as the core and five thousand Divine Martial Forbidden Army as the foundation, after all powers are integrated, it will become even more formidable and unrestrained!"

A few days later, still within the training grounds of the Divine Martial Forbidden Army, Gu Chang and five thousand Divine Martial Forbidden Army arrived.

In these few days, he had meticulously sorted out his current power and Martial Dao, organizing the relevant content of the True Martial Realm.

According to his estimation, with his current strength in the True Martial Realm, he could completely face off against over a hundred Refining Spirit-level Experts.

It should be noted that the entire Shenwu Dynasty, after developing for so many years, had not cultivated a hundred Refining Spirit Experts.

This also meant that his current strength had become a unique existence, capable of suppressing the entire human world with just one person!

However, this alone was not enough; Gu Chang had not forgotten the most important force under his command!

"Your Majesty! The Divine Martial Forbidden Army is ready!"

Ma An, the commander of the Divine Martial Forbidden Army, came before Gu Chang and reported meticulously.

"Hmm! Very good! Begin the martial drill immediately!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

As his voice fell, five thousand Divine Martial Forbidden Army instantly erupted with the internal Qi within their bodies. These Xuanbing Blood Fiend Skill internal Qi, when gathered together, rose into the sky like crimson wolf smoke.

"Whoosh! Come!"

At the same time, Gu Chang himself soared into the air, hovering as if walking on nothingness, directly arriving above the Divine Martial Forbidden Army!

Immediately, the massive internal Qi from the five thousand Divine Martial Forbidden Army was directly fused and absorbed by him, and then an incomparably colossal giant manifested.

"Mind and spirit as one, invincible with me!"

"Divine Martial Forbidden, fight to the death without retreat!"

However, this time it was not merely Gu Chang absorbing their internal Qi; a vast amount of internal Qi, after being absorbed and transformed by Gu Chang, descended from the sky again, fusing with every single Divine Martial Forbidden Army soldier.

Immediately, sets of special armor, resembling the Martial Dao Divine Paragon, condensed and formed on their bodies. These armors were as black as steel, equipped with weapons such as long spears, military sabers, and bows and arrows, and at the same time, two pairs of wings grew from their backs!

Each Divine Martial Forbidden Army soldier looked like a smaller version of Gu Chang's Martial Dao Divine Paragon, but in reality, their power at this moment was indeed comparable, and even Refining Spirit Experts like Ma An would be even stronger!

"Follow me, rise!"

However, the most crucial point was that their power and will were now condensed with Gu Chang. They were now both individual entities and a single whole!

So, as Gu Chang's thoughts turned, all the Divine Martial Forbidden Army instantly flapped their wings and soared into the sky, five thousand people flying into the high heavens like a dense flock of birds!

Of course, the most colossal was still the Martial Dao Divine Paragon condensed by Gu Chang himself, a hundred meters tall, with four wings exceeding two hundred meters. The body condensed from pure black True Qi was far more solid and powerful than Zhengang Strength!

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

High in the sky, Gu Chang at this moment was like a mythical roc, soaring through heaven and earth. Beside him, five thousand Divine Martial Forbidden Army of varying sizes also experienced the exhilaration of flight for the first time!

"Hahahaha! It truly worked!"

"By fusing all the Xuanbing Blood Fiend Skill internal Qi, and then using my will as the central hub to mobilize the power, I can condense a Martial Dao Divine Paragon outer appearance for every Divine Martial Forbidden Army soldier. This way, we can fly freely and traverse the sky, and the vastness of the world will no longer be able to impede my steps!"

Looking at the increasingly smaller cities and mountains below, Gu Chang's mood became more and more excited, even bursting into loud laughter!

It must be known that the power he possessed at this moment was a Fusion of the power of five thousand Divine Martial Forbidden Army. This power, coupled with his own True Martial strength, had become so immense that it was immeasurable!

Throughout the world, it would be difficult to find an opponent who could contend with him!

"Long live Your Majesty!"

"This is the feeling of flying in the sky; it is indeed incomparably exhilarating!"

"One does not know the vastness of heaven and earth without flying into the Nine Heavens!"

"..."

The rest of the Divine Martial Forbidden Army were also surging with emotion at this moment. After all, it was their first time soaring through the sky, and this feeling of roaming the Nine Heavens was truly unforgettable for them.
