Eternal Reverence

Chapter 961: Heaven Lord, Bird in a Cage

The Primary Extreme Sword Technique was at the 10th rank and was also at 1st rate apex state. It involved a total of 68 human body mysteries.

For the 11th rank, Li Fuchen reckoned that it would need at least 85 human body mysteries.

At the current juncture, Li Fuchen was able to find 99 human body mysteries in his body.

With the Primary Extreme Sword Technique in circulation, Li Fuchen attempted to include more human body mysteries inside the cultivation technique.

69, 70, 71…

With every additional human body mystery included, Li Fuchen felt he was getting closer to the sword dao source.

80, 81, 82…

Li Fuchen felt as though he was in the sword dao ocean and was surrounded in sword images.

84, 85…

86, 87.

When the Primary Extreme Sword Technique incorporated 87 human body mysteries, it finally stopped circulating.

With careful observations, Li Fuchen’s 11th rank of the Primary Extreme Sword Technique formed a new sword diagram. This sword diagram was a hundred times more complicated and profound than the 10th rank. At the center of the sword diagram, there were delicate sword punctures. The sword punctures were constantly releasing sword dao source energy to nourish Li Fuchen’s body.

“It is finally at the top rate apex state.”

Li Fuchen opened his eyes and two streaks of sword light pierced through space-time and illuminated everything.

Once the cultivation technique reached top rate apex state, one would already be considered a heaven lord.

Heaven lords possessed unlimited energy. Once the cultivation technique reached top rate apex state, the amount of energy could be considered unlimited as well.

But there was a difference. Heaven lords formed a small source in their bodies, while the top rate apex cultivation technique connected with the true source.

In terms of burst strength, the latter was inferior to the former. But in terms of endurance, the latter was superior.

Of course, this was just specific to those heaven lords who didn’t possess top rate apex cultivation techniques.

“I wonder what my strength level is now?”

With the nourishment from the sword dao source power, Li Fuchen’s flesh and bones were in the midst of transformation. Soon enough, his bones would turn into sword bones and his body would turn into a sword body.

Li Fuchen enjoyed the feeling of constantly getting stronger. At the same time, he was also curious about his strength. Was he a grade 2 heaven lord or a grade 1 heaven lord?

“Primary Extreme Sword Saint Lord, your cultivation technique broke through?”

In the Swordsmen Guild, the White Rainbow Heaven Lord was astonished when he saw Li Fuchen. Li Fuchen’s sword art proficiency was so high that he couldn’t determine it. However, he was still able to see Li Fuchen’s cultivation technique rank.

Most importantly, Li Fuchen’s Primary Extreme Sword Technique had just broken through and was still leaking some faint qi presence.

“Yes it broke through.” Li Fuchen nodded and admitted.

“Unbelievable, truly unbelievable. In the universe, there are countless individuals cultivating the martial dao. But it is almost impossible for any saint lord to reach the top rate apex state for their cultivation techniques.” The White Rainbow Heaven Lord lamented.

He might be a heaven lord, but his cultivation technique had yet to break through to top rate apex state. It was the same for the guildmaster, Sword Wind Heaven Lord.

After pausing for a moment, the White Rainbow Heaven Lord said, “Right now, be it strength or quality, you are considered a heaven lord.”

If it was someone else, even if their cultivation technique broke through to top rate apex state, they were only considered ungraded heaven lords or barely heaven lords. But Li Fuchen was different, his sword art was unfathomable and his true strength was at least grade 5, or even grade 4 or grade 3. In any case, the White Rainbow Heaven Lord admitted that he could see through Li Fuchen.

…

Shaman Progenitor Ruins

Li Fuchen was in combat with two shamanic puppets.

These two shamanic puppets were actually heaven lord-level shamanic puppets.

Back then, Werewolf Li Fuchen spent over two years defeating two heaven lord-level shamanic puppets. It was imaginable how powerful the shamanic puppets were.

“Die!”

One of the shamanic puppets leaped up and cleaved down with its long saber.

The other shamanic puppet’s sword was like a vicious snake that lunged at Li Fuchen’s chest.

Clang, Cling.

The shamanic puppets’ attacks were blocked by a layer of invisible sword qi. The strong counterforce repelled the two puppets.

“Their strength is comparable to a grade 4 heaven lord. With an entire set of low-grade supreme rate shamanic armor, they can contest with a grade 3 heaven lord.”

Li Fuchen was too powerful, even stronger than Werewolf Li Fuchen.

Werewolf Li Fuchen was only a grade 3 heaven lord, but Li Fuchen was at least a grade 2 heaven lord.

Of course, it didn’t mean that Werewolf Li Fuchen’s potential was poor. In fact, Werewolf Li Fuchen’s potential was extremely powerful to have a grade 3 heaven lord’s strength at breakthrough. Many saint lords who cultivate the martial dao were merely grade 5 or grade 4 at breakthrough.

The main reason was Li Fuchen’s heaven-defying potential that made Werewolf Li Fuchen look weak.

“Limitless Radiance!”

After testing out the strength of the shamanic puppets, Li Fuchen no longer withheld his strength. Unsheathing the Joint-Heaven Sword, his body burst out with limitless sword radiance as though he was the sun.

Cling Cling Clang Clang…

The two shamanic puppets which had the strength of grade 4 heaven lords couldn’t resist at all. They were forced back to the corner of the hall.

Several hours later, the two shamanic puppets were drained of their energy and scattered into two piles of shamanic equipment.

“In terms of strength, the two shamanic puppets might be grade 4 heaven lords, but their quantity of energy is far inferior.”

If these two shamanic puppets had also condensed a small source, Li Fuchen wouldn’t be able to exhaust their energy, even if it was ten days or a half a month.

Subsequently, Li Fuchen eliminated four heaven lord-level shamanic puppets with ease and obtained a total of seven sets of low-grade supreme rate shamanic armor, and eight low-grade supreme rate shamanic weapons.

“A restriction trap with a danger rating of 8?”

Li Fuchen hesitated in front of a restriction trap.

At danger rating 7, the shamanic puppets already had the strength of grade 4 heaven lords. Danger rating 8 would mean at least grade 2 heaven lord. The shamanic armor and weapon might be mid-grade supreme rate. To be honest, Li Fuchen wasn’t confident he could deal with them.

Furthermore, the restriction trap with danger rating 8 was a huge risk for Li Fuchen. It was unknown if he could make it through safely.

“But if I leave just like this, it will be too cowardly.”

Li Fuchen thought for a moment and decided to try.

With his current strength, it was very difficult for him to die. Since his life was guaranteed, he would like to give it a try.

Li Fuchen immediately stepped forward.

The restriction trap with danger rating 8 was indeed abnormally dangerous. Li Fuchen was extremely careful but still got struck by a needle. The needle was incredible as it didn’t have any shadow or form. It entered the gap between the low-grade supreme rate shamanic armor and struck Li Fuchen’s body. If Li Fuchen’s body and cultivation technique weren’t competent he might be turned into a pool of blood now.

“I have been careless.” Li Fuchen let out a bitter laugh. If any of the regular heaven lords was to receive this invisible needle, only a few would be able to endure it.

Li Fuchen noticed four shamanic puppets when he entered the hall.

The qi presence from the four shamanic puppets were far superior to grade 4 heaven lords. They were even comparable with the Sword Wind Heaven Lord and he was a grade 1 heaven lord.

“No matter what, let me cross moves with them first.”

Li Fuchen drew his Joint-Heaven Sword and approached the nearest shamanic puppet.

The spear lunged out like a black dragon that emerged from the sea, it pierced a blackhole in the void. This shamanic puppet was dull when it wasn’t moving, but once it made a move, its strength was truly astounding.

Clang!

Li Fuchen’s sword clashed with the opposing spear and created terrifying ripples. Li Fuchen couldn’t help taking more than a dozen steps back. But the shamanic puppet suffered worse as it smashed right into the wall of the hall.

“A little weaker than me, but the difference isn’t significant.” Li Fuchen had an astonished expression.

The battle between the two was a huge commotion and it awakened the three other shamanic puppets as they charged at Li Fuchen.

Clang Clang Clang…

Once Li Fuchen was surrounded by four shamanic puppets, he was at an immediate disadvantage.

Seeing that the situation wasn’t good, Li Fuchen grabbed onto an opportunity to break out from the circle and arrived outside of the hall.

It was obvious that the shamanic puppets could only fight within the hall. Sensing there were no more intruders in the hall, they returned to their original position and stayed motionless.

“In order to deal with these four shamanic puppets, I will need the strength of a city-lord heaven lord.” Li Fuchen shook his head and left.

Li Fuchen stood onto a teleportation platform.

Buzz!

The teleportation array was activated and a beam of light rushed into the sky, carrying Li Fuchen along.

But right at this moment, an invisible force forcefully pulled Li Fuchen back.

“What is going on?” Li Fuchen was surprised and couldn’t understand.

Li Fuchen stepped onto the teleportation platform again but this time, he used his spirit soul power to cover his body.

“The energy is coming from my body?”

Being pulled back the second time, Li Fuchen felt something strange.

Ripping his clothes open, Li Fuchen noticed a curse-like symbol on his rib. It was shaped like a cage that trapped a bird inside and it was truly strange.

“When did I get inflicted with this?” Li Fuchen had an awful expression.

Even if he was a fool, he knew that he had been inflicted with a shamanic art and it was an extremely terrifying shamanic art. This shamanic art was like a curse and it was truly hard to guard against.

Li Fuchen thought it might be the needle from the restriction trap, but he quickly eliminated the possibility. If the needle had any shamanic art imbued, he would already have detected it.

“Could it be the extended stay inside the Shaman Progenitor Ruins?”

After considerations, Li Fuchen felt the only possibility was the shamanic art aura that lingered in this place. Normally, the shamanic art aura would be harmless like the air, but with extended contact, it would inflict this shamanic art.

“No wonder heaven lords rarely visit this place.”

Li Fuchen let out a bitter smile. He didn’t think that all heaven lords could last for so long in the Shaman Progenitor Ruins, but some of the heaven lords definitely knew about it.

Sitting down with crossed-legs, Li Fuchen started to inspect the shamanic art, Bird in a Cage.

After inspection, Li Fuchen realized that the shamanic art, Bird in a Cage, was truly mystical. He couldn’t even have any real contact with it.

It meant that what he was looking at was only a manifestation of Bird in a Cage and not the shamanic art itself.

“It seems like there is only one method to try.”

Li Fuchen circulated his spirit soul talent and concealed his qi presence along with the Bird in a Cage’s qi presence.

Immediately after, he stepped onto the teleportation platform and teleported out.
