Chapter 34: Above the Grandmaster, is the Extreme

The blinding white light completely obscured Senjuro's vision, forcing him to close his eyes.

When the light gradually died out, he opened his eyes again, and what greeted him was a white jade square with no end in sight.

The pure white and flawless white jade emitted a misty shimmer, and in the center of the square, stood three huge stone monuments that were hundreds of feet high.

The three steles are of different colours, with the leftmost stele reflecting a pale red sheen throughout, the central stele being transparent and matte, and the rightmost stele being marble-like.

At the first glance of the three stone tablets, Chijuro already understood that the Grandmaster-level Flame Breath was actually the ultimate in this sword technique, and to go up, he needed to choose a direction to break through the shackles of the sword technique.

And the three stone tablets in front of him represent three different directions.

Senjurou walked forward slowly and came to the center of the three stone monuments.

Standing here, he could clearly feel the breath on the three stone tablets.

The pale red stone tablet exuded a scorching aura, representing the development of sword art in the direction of elemental sword art.

The colorless transparent stone monument exudes a sense of invincibility, symbolizing the abandonment of superfluous elements such as elements and sword qi in the sword technique, and the development of pure techniques.

The marble-like stele exudes an ethereal sense of spirituality, which means that the sword art is no longer confined to the surface, but has begun to penetrate into the invisible realms such as spirit and soul.

Three directions, three options, each with its own advantages and disadvantages.

After closing his eyes and being silent for a moment, Senjuro did not hesitate and walked in front of the pale red stone tablet.

The technique is extremely strong in one-on-one, but it is a bit stretched down against large groups of enemies. The way of the soul is strange and unpredictable, the so-called knife cutting the body and the heart is like this, but for the first time in this way, it still needs to be studied slowly by Qianjulang, but on the Farland Continent, Qianjulang has a hunch that he has little time left, and he must improve his strength as soon as possible in a short period of time.

Therefore, what he chose was the Elemental Dao that he had been practicing, the Elemental Dao.

The stone monument is hundreds of feet high, and people stand in front of it, as small as ants.

Chijurou stretched out his hand and touched the pale red monument in front of him.

The moment the fingertips touched the stele, the entire pale red stele shone brightly, reflecting the entire space in red.

Subsequently, the stele continued to shrink, and eventually, it became one with Senjuro.

At the same time, in front of Chijuro's eyes, the system's prompt came as promised.

"Ding! Congratulations, [Breath of Fire] (Grandmaster) has been upgraded to [Breath of Fire: Extreme] (Beginner)! ”

Breath of Fire: Extremes (Elemental: Beginner): When the sword technique comes to an end, you must make your own choice, and you have chosen the path of the elements. You are like a god walking in the mortal world, your body and soul are indestructible, and your vitality has been greatly improved, and you can only live to be 25 years old despite the price of opening the markings.

Under normal conditions: physical fitness increases by 200%. (100% for Grandmasters)

Activation Status: When used in conjunction with the Knife Technique, the attack is inflicted with Extreme Flame Attribute Damage that is enough to scorch the space, increasing Physical Fitness by 200% (100% for Grandmaster), increasing Strength by an additional 100% (50% for Grandmaster), and granting additional amplification depending on the shape of the knife.

Additional Skills: [Marnds], [Hedao Extreme], [Realm of Heaven and Man]

[Marking] (Enabled): A strange pattern appears on the surface of the body, which greatly increases the body's attributes and resistance to ailments at the cost of consuming a huge amount of vitality. (The powerful vitality brought by the Realm of Extreme Wisdom is more than enough to compensate for the vitality consumed by those who open the markings.) )

[Hedao Ji]: The spirit of breaking through the boundaries, combined with its own fighting spirit, makes the Rilun Knife become red, and the blade covers a high temperature comparable to the surface of the sun, and any regeneration ability will be completely invalid in the face of this.

[Realm of Heaven and Man]: Penetrating the world means complete control of the body and initial contact with nature, but the power of nature is so vast that even if you spend a lifetime of flesh and blood, you can't understand it deeply. And when you step into the realm of heaven and man, your spirit has undergone an unprecedented transformation, and the realm of extreme wisdom has condensed into a substantial spirit, so that you are enough to use your mortal body to leverage the infinite power of nature and the world.

……

On the street, Senjurou opened his eyes violently.

In an instant, flames flashed through his eyes like the glow of the scorching sun.

The invisible fluctuations centered on him spread rapidly in all directions, and in the blink of an eye, they encompassed the entire western region of the Alliance, and within this range, all the equipment of the Alliance powered by high-purity energy crystals failed, causing the entire Alliance to be terrified.

Fortunately, the failure of the equipment only lasted for a few seconds, and as the invisible fluctuations dissipated, the equipment resumed operation, but all this did not reassure the high-level personnel of the alliance in the slightest, the equipment can fail once, which means that there will be a next time, however, no matter how the workers investigate, they cannot find the cause of the equipment failure, and in the end it can only be attributed to the abnormal movement of the world's energy.

Of course, all this has nothing to do with Senjuro, who is far away in Mooney City.

At this moment, he is indulging in the magic of the realm of extreme power.

Extreme attainment is the sublimation of the realm of swordsmanship, and the so-called extreme exaltation refers to the ultimate attainment.

At this moment, countless knife techniques were integrated and even sublimated in his mind, and even the knife shape that he had painstakingly studied in the past was full of loopholes in his eyes at this moment.

And the spiritual realm based on the realm of extreme exaltation - the realm of heaven and man is even more miraculous.

Chijurou can feel that unlike the transparent world, there is no switch or not in the realm of heaven and man, and breaking through this realm means being in this realm all the time, without any consumption, which is a high degree of harmony and integration between the natural ego and the personal ego.

In this realm, Chijuro could feel that all the fire elements would fully accept his commander within the reach of his spiritual power, just like the monarch of the flames, even the sea of natural elements could not compete with him for control of the flames.

And the spiritual power that can be materialized now, the spiritual power generated, its coverage is comparable to the entire western region of the alliance.

Immersed in the realm of heaven and man, Senjuro was a little unable to extricate himself. It's a wonderful feeling.

After a long time, Senjuro came back to his senses, looked at the occasional crowd of people passing by on the street, and smiled slightly.

Now that I think about it, I can be regarded as a powerhouse in the top echelon of the Farland Continent.

He then walked slowly towards the place where he lived in the city.

……

A secluded region, in the center of the largest territory bordering the mainland of Farland.

This realm, secluded and naturally intertwined, forming a place of chaos.

And a towering black tower stands here.

Around the Black Tower, countless blue lightning roared wildly, and endless dark energy and the natural energy of the Farlan Continent converged on the top of the Black Tower, instilling frantically into its interior.

At this moment, around the Black Tower, dozens of figures had gathered.

On the side close to the secluded area, thirty tall or low figures stood quietly, the aura on their bodies was the weakest, and they were also at the level of a marshal.

And on the side close to the Farlan continent, there are also about thirty figures confronting the dark side, among them, King Kong, Song Ji and Ice Maiden.

In the camp of the Farlan continent, the largest number of people were a group of missionaries dressed in sacrificial clothes.

Their bare hands and feet are full of scars, which is a symbol of the "bitter vows" left by the Sun Church since ancient times, even if the physical body is promoted to gamma, it cannot be eliminated, representing the Sun Church accepting the punishment of the gods on behalf of the ignorant world.

This group of people is the high-ranking of the Church of the Sun from the eastern part of the Farland continent.

Among them, it is led by an old man with gray hair.

The old man's name was William Jenmuen, and he was the archbishop of the Church of the Sun.

In addition to the three King Kong and the twenty people from the Sun Church, the remaining seven people were members of the Radiant Empire from the extremely cold land in the northern part of the Farland Continent.

Almost more than half of the bodies of these seven people have replaced their physical bodies with machines. This is the price that must be paid for the road of extraordinary machinery. But because of this, the robots have gained unimaginable vitality.

As long as the core is not damaged, even if the physical body is destroyed by more than 90%, they can be repaired and reborn.

However, at this moment, the two sides that were facing each other, bringing together the high-end combat power of the Farland Continent and the secluded region, did not pay attention to each other at all. Their eyes were firmly fixed on the black tower in the center.

The black tower, which had been infused with massive ghost energy and natural energy, was already covered with dense cracks on its surface at this moment.

This crack has been there since a year ago, and until now, it has completely spread all over the Black Tower.

Time, in the gaze of both sides, passed little by little, until, at a certain moment.

"Click!"

A crisp cracking sound appeared in everyone's ears.

Before everyone could react, the towering black tower instantly turned into black powder and dissipated into the sky.

At the same time, more than a dozen streamers rushed out from inside the Black Tower.

Among them, only two gray streamers rushed to the dark camp, and the rest of the streamers of various colors flew to the Farland Continent camp.

The three people standing in the team, King Kong, Song Ji, and Ice Girl, saw the streamer flying, their eyes all showed surprise, and quickly came to the side of a blue-purple streamer.

"Big brother!"

Before they could get closer, the three of them shouted in unison, with indescribable excitement in their voices.

Since the eldest brother entered the Tower of Broken Boundary in order to seal the King of the Netherworld, they hadn't seen each other for more than ten years.

The blue-purple streamer dissipated, revealing a middle-aged man with a face full of vicissitudes.

He had long blue hair, most notably the lightning-shaped purple markings on his forehead and the tiny electric light that flickered around him all the time.

Hearing the call of the three people, the man turned his head to look and saw that it was King Kong and the three of them, and his eyes also showed joy.

"You're here."

Not only the three of King Kong, but also the Farlan Continent, the Sun Church and the Radiant Empire also have their own streamers returning to the team.

"By the way, eldest brother, why don't you see the second sister, the fourth brother, and the sixth brother."

When he saw that there was only one eldest brother, King Kong already had an ominous premonition, but he still looked at the man and waited for his personal confirmation.

Hearing this, a trace of sadness appeared in the man's eyes, and then he calmed down: "When they suppressed the King of the Nether, their energy dried up and died. Not only them, but also the Church of the Sun and the Radiant Empire, but also several people. When we stepped into the Tower of Broken Boundary, we were already aware of this. ”

"To be able to buy the mainland for more than ten years, their sacrifice is worthwhile."

Hearing this, the three of them fell silent, but they could not hide their sadness on their faces.

"Okay, the top priority is to return to the mainland first."

Looking at the three of them, the man sighed.

At the same time, the leaders of the Radiant Empire and the Church of the Sun made the same decision.

On the other side, the dark side is also slowly retreating, and the two sides seem to have a certain tacit understanding, and they are not willing to break out a war between the two realms at this moment.

Soon, this realm was completely empty, leaving only the chaotic wind blowing in the sky.

……

The central city of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance, Yereng City, the headquarters of the purging team, the Hall of the Seven Stars.

The man sat on a bench engraved with the seven-star logo at the head of the long table, and below him were the three people who were seated separately, King Kong, Song Ji, and Ice Girl.

As soon as he sat down, King Kong couldn't help but ask, "Big brother, what has happened in the Tower of Boundary Break in the past ten years?"

Looking down, Thor, that is, the blue-haired man, sighed and said:

"The sleeping dark consciousness has awakened ......"

"Originally, the power of our ten gamma high-level was enough to seal the King of the Darkness for tens of hundreds of years, but the awakening of the Darkness consciousness broke all this."

"After the awakening of the Netherworld consciousness, the ghostly energy of the Netherworld region increased day by day, gradually overpowering the natural energy of the continent, so that our strength gradually weakened, and the strength of the Netherworld King gradually became stronger."

"In the face of the other, we can only choose to sacrifice ourselves to delay the time of sealing the town of the Netherworld, otherwise, as early as five years ago, the Netherworld King and the pale bones could break out of the tower."

"However, even so, the rout of the world's energy has finally made it impossible for the Tower of Boundary Break to sustain it."

"If we don't estimate the last pope of the Church of the Sun, I'm afraid that the moment we break through the tower, the King of the Nethers will start a decisive battle with us."

"But this can only be delayed for a while, and when the weakened King of the Netherlands gradually recovers, until he has a stronger strength than more than ten years ago under the increase in the Netherlands, it will be the beginning of the decisive battle."

"A short month, a long March, the decisive battle will start!"

"Alas......"

Speaking of this, Thor sighed heavily, and his voice was indescribable.

"Now, the only hope for our alliance is the 'Super Energy Project' that was launched more than ten years ago. I hope it's useful......"

Looking at Xiao Suo so far, the eldest brother, who was completely different from the energetic brother more than ten years ago, the three of them were silent.

Compared to the strength of the peak of the eldest brother Gamma, they are only the strength of the early and middle Gamma periods, and they can't help at all.

In order to ease the atmosphere, King Kong hurriedly said: "By the way, big brother, I found an exotic visitor who was at least the peak strength of the early stage of Gamma a few days ago, and he also agreed to join the alliance, you see?" ”

"Oh?" Hearing this, Thor's eyes lit up slightly: "This is good news, at this time, with one more gamma-level helper, we can also be a lot easier." ”

"Well, I'll come and see him myself."
