Chapter 213: One Step Away

With the combination of the three palaces, the Reverse Demon Great Art in Meng Su's body became increasingly mature.

Meng Su was a simple person who hated all complicated things and matters. The way he handled things in his original world was: simplify complicated things. This ability of his was appreciated by his mentor. If it weren't for "Heavenly Secret" forcibly changing Meng Su's life, he would have achieved great success in his original world.

In the Demon Realm, what Meng Su hated most was the Demon Body. Can't beat them, so bring out the Demon Body? Do you have no shame? And all kinds of messy fake Demon Intent—can't cultivate true intent, so you mess around with all kinds of fake intent. Is it interesting? These don't exist in front of me. In front of me, there is only one move: either you die, or you die.

Life is just that simple, why make it too complicated? The Reverse Demon Great Art is an artifact that makes everything simple.

After combining the three palaces, Meng Su recovered to the Demon God realm, but this time the source of Demon Power was not the Five Elements power, not the Devouring Body, but the Reverse Demon Great Art.

Recovering to the Demon God realm, Meng Su had to consider movement techniques. Previously, there was a movement technique called "Body Follows Thought," which made Meng Su invincible. But now, even the Thought Infant had been destroyed by Meng Su, so the supernatural ability of "Body Follows Thought" had vanished into thin air.

Meng Su messed around for more than half a month, but could only perform ordinary flying and could not perform movement techniques similar to "Body Follows Thought." Meng Su called out the Swamp Demon, but the Swamp Demon couldn't explain it either, so he had to give up.

In fact, in countless previous battles, Meng Su had never made good use of the power of Origin, which is "Momentum." At that time, he had many trump cards and didn't need to use "Momentum" at all.

Now it was different. Except for the Reverse Demon Great Art and "Between Life and Death," if he really fought, he could only use his fists, teeth, or fingernails to scratch. Even if he stopped time, for those demon cultivators or Asuras who were good at refining their bodies, without power, even if they stood there and let you hack at them, you might not be able to kill them.

Movement and stillness will form "Momentum." High and low will also form Momentum. Light and dark will form "Momentum." Light and heavy will form "Momentum." Strong and weak will also form Momentum. In fact, Supreme pressure is a kind of "Momentum" between strong and weak.

All "Momentum" follows one principle: condense without releasing.

First, start with movement and stillness.

Meng Su began self-mutilating practice.

In the mountains of Shentie Town, Meng Su ran wildly between the snow-capped mountains, and when his speed reached its maximum, he suddenly stopped.

In the rapid transition between movement and stillness, the Momentum condensed by using speed raised a gust of wind in front of Meng Su. This gust of wind could only blow ten or twenty feet away at first, but later, as Meng Su's speed increased, the energy stirred up could blow a hundred feet away. At the same time, the power was still strengthening. Besides blowing the accumulated snow on the ground into oblivion, it actually moved the stones on the ground.

When the villagers of Shentie Town were mining iron ore in the back mountain, they always saw a thin figure running wildly in the mountains, making the villagers panic, thinking that demon beasts had entered the mountain.

As Meng Su's speed became faster and faster, he soon faced a problem: he couldn't stop.

Condensing without releasing is Momentum. If he couldn't stop, he couldn't condense it, which would mean losing the power brought by Momentum.

There was no other way, Meng Su could only add "Between Life and Death." Since he couldn't stop his footsteps, he would stop time. This unintentional move opened the door to speed for Meng Su.

With the addition of "Between Life and Death," it directly compressed the time of running wildly. The distance that originally required a hundred steps to finish, with the addition of the time factor, only required eighty steps to finish.

Slowly, it became fifty steps to finish. Half a year later, Meng Su had fused time and speed perfectly. Within a radius of ten miles, he could arrive in one step.

In terms of speed alone, this movement technique was no different from "Body Follows Thought," except that this movement technique could not be added to others.

Meng Su, who had acquired a new skill, began to practice without sleep or rest until he reached perfection. The Swamp Demon also turned into a black-clothed old man to accompany Meng Su in practice.

Meng Su named the new movement technique: "One Step Away." He believed that as his cultivation level increased, it would be possible to cross a prefecture in one step.

With the addition of time, the Momentum on Meng Su's body had reached its limit. Within a few steps, he could cross over a hundred miles. Then, suddenly stopping, the resulting potential energy directly overturned the mountain peak opposite.

Fortunately, it was far away from the residential area and did not cause panic.

Meng Su named this Momentum caused by speed: "Instant Storm."

After these two supernatural abilities were practiced to a small success, Meng Su began to refine intent.

There are many kinds of Demon Intent, such as: Fist Intent, Sword Intent, Spear Intent, Talisman Intent for refining talismans, and Array Intent for refining arrays.

Regarding the understanding of "Intent," Meng Su's own understanding was: release the intent you are about to attack with in advance to perform pre-damage or locking on the opponent.

Meng Su asked the Swamp Demon about this problem. The Swamp Demon was a thousand-year-old demon, and he basically agreed with Meng Su's understanding.

But this was not the "Intent" Meng Su wanted. Such intent would only form entanglement and could not be fatal in one blow. What Meng Su wanted was the momentum of having no one invincible. What he wanted was Demon Intent that could decide life and death in one blow. It was like Ye Baiyi's Life-Death Sword, but the Life-Death Sword used one's own vitality to enhance the power of killing. This kind of self-mutilating supernatural ability was not what Meng Su wanted.

Without the Reincarnation Lotus, how much vitality was left to use?

What Meng Su wanted was powerful Momentum, plus accurate Intent, plus speed.

Powerful Momentum would produce great power.

Demon Intent would clarify his target and at the same time extend his power. For example, the sword light condensed by Sword Intent, the blade edge condensed by a blade—a one-foot-long blade could cut down a big tree miles away; these were all the effects of Demon Intent. Higher-level Demon Intent might make his attack produce will. Of course, that would require the participation of divine sense, which is true intent. Now Meng Su couldn't do it at all.

The Injury Form in the Seven Injury Fist was a simple application of Demon Intent, but it was realized through Thought Power. It belonged to a kind of fake intent of delayed attack and could not be counted as true intent. If true intent is cultivated to the extreme, it will contend with Heaven for intent, almost like a miracle.

The speed of overriding time could leave the opponent with no chance to parry—killing with one blow.

With a direction for cultivation, the next step was the choice of weapons.

Meng Su missed the kitchen knife he had forged in the Demon Domain before. It was the right length, suitable for both killing and cooking, and could be used to its full potential. So Meng Su decided to still choose a kitchen knife as his weapon.

Meng Su called Yaya and took out some silver from his storage ring. In the secular world, the circulation of currency was still silver.

"Yaya, go help your father buy a few kitchen knives at the market."

Meng Su said to Yaya, who was busy arranging their little home. Yaya seemed unable to stay idle; as long as she had time, she would start tidying up, as if she had obsessive-compulsive disorder. If everything wasn't arranged according to her ideas, she would feel uncomfortable.

"Who is your father? You're not even as old as me, yet you want to be my father? How old are you? I'm over a hundred years old. You should call me Auntie." Yaya said in a milky voice.

Demons can generally live for thousands of years, humans can only live for thousands of years if they are Supremes, and Demon Saints can live for more than a thousand years. If they don't rely on devouring blood energy, they will generally die of old age in more than a thousand years. The lifespan of a Demon God is only a few hundred years. If calculated purely by age, Meng Su was really not older than Yaya. But Meng Su was already considered a young man among humans, and Yaya was still considered a little demon in the demon race.

Yaya took the silver and hopped away.

"Don't cause trouble, don't scream randomly, those are all ordinary people." Meng Su looked at Yaya in the distance and exhorted. ===== CHAPTER 214 =====
