Chapter 549: Heart Power

Fang Xing checked the email again, savoring its contents:

"An Eternal Legacy Realm has appeared in the Outer Battlefield… coordinates are…"

"A native Law Lord of the star civilization has suppressed the news; mission number…"

…

He read a few lines, then suddenly smiled: "Interesting… sent in bulk from an anonymous account? Looks like another clash between the natives and the outsiders."

Wherever there are people, there are circles and conflicts… especially between outsiders and locals; Fang Xing was used to it.

And as long as the Law Lord who sent the bulk email isn't stupid, following this lead would yield nothing.

Yet this rumor would surely draw the attention of many Law Lords.

"An Eternal Realm legacy? Average for me, but for ordinary Law Lords, it's a chance to leap to the heavens—unmissable…"

"And the Law Lord implied to have concealed this information will face widespread suspicion and hostility… because of Yin Kesi? This guy has too many enemies…"

Fang Xing sneered.

He saw at a glance that the rumor about the realm was almost certainly true.

But the part about Yin Kesi deliberately hiding classified intelligence? Nine out of ten, it was fabricated.

Yet mixed together, it was impossible to untangle.

Clearly the work of Yin Kesi's enemies.

"Still… an Eternal Realm legacy? Not really relevant to me…"

Fang Xing already had the perfect legacy for himself; he had no interest in others.

He ended his routine entertainment and returned to the space beyond New Blue Star.

"I've fully assimilated everything from my transmigration, and I'm not in a hurry to take on missions—time to expand my combat repertoire."

With a thought, an inconceivably colored great sun descended from infinite spacetime, transforming into a Buddha, and crushed countless uninhabited planets with a single palm.

"Right now, excluding 'Blood Origin Mountain,' my combat methods can be divided into three major schools…"

"The first is the Eternal Sun King Spell, and its associated Sun Tathagata Divine Palm… this too is the foundation for the transcendental trait of 'Transcendence' I will later establish."

"The second is the Power of Pan Wu Dao!"

After comprehending a Dao, one naturally gains its Dao Power enhancement!

Some special Daos can even produce unimaginable effects at low stages.

For example, the Immortal Dao grants infinite lifespan to every Void Refinement cultivator, though it still faces the torment of heavenly tribulations.

At this moment, as Fang Xing willed it, the Power of Pan Wu Dao descended, forming a black dragon.

Its body was large enough to rival a galaxy, with stars revolving between its claws and fangs.

"The Dao Power of the Immortal Dao emphasizes longevity and freedom…"

"But the Dao Power of Pan Wu Dao has only one effect: combat enhancement!"

Fang Xing carefully sensed the law patterns of the black dragon: "Once infused with Dao power, even the most ordinary fist technique unleashes ultimate destruction and devastation!"

After all, the laws composing the Pan Wu Dao were all oriented toward destruction and annihilation.

"Using the Power of Pan Wu Dao to cast the battle technique 'Pangu Body' from the Pan Wu Scripture can let me unleash combat power far beyond my normal limits!"

Fang Xing even felt that these two systems might allow him, even at Law Lord Fourth Stage, to match the combat strength of a Fifth Stage Law Lord!

"The final third combat system is the newly acquired 'Heart Power Cultivation'… this is a transcendental legacy, and even a fragmented version is extraordinary…"

Heart Power acts directly on the True Spirit; once used to cast soul-annihilation techniques, even enemies with willpower-based secret arts cannot resist.

Artifacts capable of defending the True Spirit are exceedingly rare.

If the first two systems might raise Fang Xing's combat power by one stage,

then 'Heart Power' grants him, even as a Law Lord, the means to threaten a Fourteenth Stage Dao Master!

This is the path to Law Lord Sixth Stage!

'Once I fully comprehend Pan Wu Dao, even if I haven't yet become a Dao Master, my Dao Power alone could rival ordinary Dao Masters… and if I advance Heart Power to a certain stage, I might even have a chance to kill a Dao Master.'

After contemplating this, Fang Xing drew a sharp breath.

Remember, Law Lord Fifth Stage merely grants the ability to escape from Dao Masters.

Even the legendary Law Lord Sixth Stage, appearing once every countless years, can only fight evenly with or defeat the most ordinary Dao Masters.

As for killing?

It was unimaginable—Dao Masters wielded Dao, nearly embodying Dao itself, making them nearly impossible to kill.

But Heart Power, as a transcendental technique, offered such a possibility!

'Not to mention, I still have one drop of transcendental blood… if pushed to the brink, when using Heart Power, I could actively unlock my attribute panel to unleash the aura and power of that drop of transcendental blood… under such impact, even Eternal Realm beings would be stunned.'

'If executed well, I might even land a one-hit kill on a Dao Master…'

Fang Xing weighed his options and realized he had reached a certain limit of strength.

"Hmm, next is Heart Power cultivation…"

"As for the 'Blood Origin Mountain' treasure, it's already falling behind me—I need to replace it with something better… if I had a Sovereign Weapon, I'd instantly become a Fifth Stage Law Lord, capable of briefly clashing with Dao Masters…"

…

As Fang Xing began rigorous Heart Power cultivation,

in the Outer Battlefield,

inside the realm,

a starship was traveling at light speed.

Onboard, the most advanced detection equipment was installed. "Damn it, if I find out who's spreading this rumor, I'll kill him! It's definitely those outsiders!"

Yin Kesi sat on a steel chair, holding a cup of fine wine, his expression gloomy.

The rumors recently spreading through the Tai Xu Universe had greatly annoyed him.

The problem was the nine parts truth and one part lie—they had trapped him!

"How could I possibly have authorization to modify missions? If I did, I'd send every outsider on suicidal missions."

Yin Kesi ended another boring communication and stared at the endless stars outside the ship.

This realm was huge! Extremely huge!

Even at light speed, the ship resembled a speck of dust on a planet.

Precisely because of this, they had confirmed it was not a Dao Master realm, but an Eternal Realm!

"According to my mission, all squad members travel different routes at light speed, equipped with detection gear… if we encounter anything valuable, we'll find it."

"But be careful… the 'Void Gold Annihilation Current' within this realm can annihilate even a Fifth Stage Law Lord…"

"Only I, with my perfected space law, can guarantee escape by abandoning the ship the moment I barely touch it… other Law Lords would be gambling with their lives."

As Yin Kesi pondered, his expression suddenly changed.

Kuis was deep in thought when suddenly his expression changed.

A colossal man-eating flower erupted from the cosmic darkness, its grotesque leaves effortlessly slicing through the ship's alloy armor.

A gigantic man-eating flower suddenly erupted from the dark void of space, its vicious leaves effortlessly slicing through the ship's alloy armor.

Yin Kesi instinctively tried to teleport away.

But the flower's body shimmered with secret runes, sealing the space around him, preventing teleportation.

But on that man-eating flower, secret patterns glowed, sealing off this space and preventing him from teleporting.

A semi-transparent armor surfaced on Yin Kesi's body, and he instantly split into nine illusions, charging the giant flower.

But his true body secretly began fleeing.

After all, this realm was perilous—home to elite insect and alien beast civilizations!

After all, this secret realm is extremely dangerous, home to experts from the insectoid and alien beast civilizations!

Suddenly, a burly man wearing a horned helmet appeared directly in his escape path, punching forward.

That punch filled the heavens and earth, embodying the ultimate essence of force!

"Perfected Force Law?"

Yin Kesi was blasted backward by the punch, staring at the sudden appearance of multiple figures, his face grim: "Lord Fist, Lord Kun Xie… both Law Lords captured by the Insect Civilization during the war…"

The Insect Civilization excelled at soul enslavement; during wars with them, whether star civilization or alien beast warriors, all preferred suicide over capture.

Suicide at least offered a chance of resurrection; once enslaved by soul, that possibility vanished forever.

Suicide at least offers a chance of resurrection, but once enslaved by the soul, that possibility is gone forever.

A sound like moth wings fluttering reached Yin Kesi's ears.

Then, an invisible gray wave spread over him.

Yin Kesi's eyes lost focus; Lord Fist and Lord Kun Xie immediately attacked.

But Yin Kesi was only momentarily dazed—he snapped back instantly and began fleeing frantically.

"That soul attack was terrifying—if I hadn't exchanged for a soul-protecting treasure, I'd have been finished this time…"

Yin Kesi spread his hands, forcibly carving gaps in the sealed space.

His speed was astonishing, each step precisely landing on spatial ripples, barely escaping the encirclement.

His speed was incredibly fast, as if each step perfectly landed on the ripples of space, barely escaping the encirclement.

'If I die, all my treasures and savings are lost…'

'Besides, I already spent heavily exchanging priority resurrection rights for Lüta and Ruid… if I die again, resurrecting from Law Lord Fourth Stage will cost far more than for them…'

'And worse, after resurrection, my strength might even regress…'

"Not to mention that after resurrection, his strength might even regress…"

Hiss!

Because Kuis fled in madness, he was pursued by one Law Lord after another.

Just as he was on the verge of despair, the universe ahead suddenly tore open, and golden meteors converged like a torrent.

"It's appeared… the Void Gold Annihilation Stream! A perfect opportunity!"

Having reached the Law Lord realm, Kuis had never lacked the ruthlessness to act when cornered.

"Ha! Come on!"

He dodged aside and plunged into the Void Gold Annihilation Stream.

The giant man-eating flower was too massive; though it forcibly retracted, part of its body still scraped against the golden meteors and was instantly annihilated by more than half its bulk.

Swish! Swish!!

Affected by this, the two human Law Lord slaves behind slowed considerably.

But soon, with the arrival of an insectoid creature resembling a cicada, Kuis was forced to flee once more.

Both sides chased and clashed within the gaps of the Void Gold Annihilation Stream…

Suddenly!

Kuis and the insectoid Law Lord shuddered as they saw the space ahead shatter, revealing a mysterious, unknown continent…
