Easy Way of Cultivation: Power Harvesting

Emperor’s Secret Technique!

Upon hearing these words, Zhou Wuchang’s expression changed dramatically. Previously, "Wei Ran" had annihilated so many Great Saints of Lingxu Cave using the Emperor’s Secret Technique. Could his body continue to withstand the power of the Emperor’s Soldier?

However, he dared not gamble, for he wore the All Heaven Stars Divine Armor. Even a true Saint King powerhouse would find it difficult to kill him, but an Emperor’s Secret Technique could easily obliterate him.

"You think you’re the only one with an Emperor’s Secret Technique? My Zhou Family is also part of the Martial Emperor Family!"

In the Void World, Wei Fan’s hands danced, forming profound regulations, and Zhou Wuchang moved too, employing the Zhou Family’s Emperor’s Secret Technique to guide the Emperor’s Soldier’s power and clash with Wei Fan.

With the All Heaven Stars Divine Armor protecting him, even if the Emperor’s Soldier’s power erupted in a clash, he was confident that he would survive.

"Retreat quickly, the Emperor’s Secret Technique will soon erupt in conflict!"

The surrounding people’s expressions changed drastically. Once the Emperor’s Soldier’s power erupts in confrontation, the destructive force is utterly uncontrollable. Being too close could cause even a Great Saint powerhouse to be annihilated.

"Brother Wei is too impulsive. Once the Emperor’s Secret Technique clashes, no one emerges victorious. With his talent, there is a great chance he will become an Emperor. Fighting Zhou Wuchang, who has already reached a dead end in this Saint Realm, is simply not worth it."

Wei Ying, Mu Yi, and others also retreated, frowning deeply.

Even if Wei Fan couldn’t overpower Zhou Wuchang’s All Heaven Stars Divine Armor or kill Zhou Wuchang, Zhou Wuchang couldn’t kill him either. Retreating was the best option.

The clash of Emperor’s Secret Techniques is no trivial matter; life and death are often settled in an instant, with a high probability of mutual destruction, since those guiding the Emperor’s Soldier’s power bear the brunt.

This rarely happens within Martial Emperor’s Influence.

"Not necessarily. Everyone remember, Brother Wei guides the Emperor’s Secret Technique very quickly, and the odds of Zhou Wuchang dying are high!"

Once Fairy Yunyin’s words fell, a force capable of sweeping across the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands emerged on Wei Fan, the Ten Thousand Dao retreated, the Great Dao roared, and the laws of heaven and earth fell into chaos.

Zhou Wuchang’s face was filled with astonishment: "How can you guide the Emperor’s Soldier’s power so quickly?"

Veins of flesh began to operate the secret technique almost simultaneously, guiding the Emperor’s Soldier’s power; yet he hadn’t even connected to Zhou family’s Emperor’s Soldier, while Wei Fan had already summoned the Emperor’s power.

His aura shattered the Eight Desolations, imposing dominion across time, and Zhou Wuchang knew this day would surely be his last, without any hope of escape.

"If you kill me, the Zhou Family and you will be forever at war. Sacrificing for the Demon Hunter Organization, is it worth it?"

Zhou Wuchang shouted, hoping to intimidate Wei Fan, but Wei Fan was unaware of what he was speaking, wondering why it referenced the Demon Hunter Organization.

"I have been at war with the Zhou Family for a long time. You go ahead; I’ll soon send others from Zhou Family to join you!"

Cold light flashed in Wei Fan’s eyes, his killing intent sharp.

With a press of his hands in the void, a passageway pierced through space and time, Zhou Wuchang couldn’t even let out a scream before he and his All Heaven Stars Divine Armor vanished without a trace, as if they had never existed.

"This secret technique is terrifying; a powerhouse comparable to a Saint King is wiped from existence like an ant."

Though they had witnessed the power of the Emperor’s Secret Technique before, they were still deeply shaken. Martial Emperor Family, overlooking the changes in the world’s winds and clouds, remains firmly on the throne, not without reason. Reciprocally, no matter how numerous, tens of Martial Emperor Influences combined could not shake them.

"Zhou Wuchang is also dead. Truly, Wei Ran is audacious. Doesn’t he fear retaliation and a war from Martial Emperor’s Influence, or does he believe Zhou Family fears the forces behind him?"

"Emperor battles are no laughing matter, especially with Demon Race advancing aggressively. Human Race’s forces should resist the Demon Fiends."

"What resistance? Have you ever seen Zhou Family fight against Demon Fiends? The Eastern Domain has suffered demon attacks in numerous continents except Mountain and Sea Continent; Zhou Family’s annihilation would be a blessing. Resources controlled by Martial Emperor Family redistributed to fully cultivate strong figures for Human Race."

"True, but if we had infighting first, it might give Demon Fiends an opportunity. If one side can’t compete, they might align with Demon Fiends, which isn’t good."

"The real fear is an Emperor’s Soldier clash; when that happens, countless innocents will perish."

...

Some showed concern, not wishing for a battle between Martial Emperor Influences. Previously, in Shun’an City, both Human and Demon sides avoided a clash between Imperial Soldiers, opting for a ceasefire.

As once Imperial Soldier clashes, all life within tens of thousands of miles would perish; the ground would sink and turn to scorched earth.

If Imperial Soldier clashes are terrifying, the consequences of Emperor’s Soldier would be unimaginable; no records exist of Emperor’s clash upon the earth.

Even when Human and Demon sides reach battle fervor peak, they dare not erupt an Emperor’s engagement.

[Slaying Zhou Wuchang, gaining 500,000 years of Ordinary Power, 10,000 years of Martial Saint’s Power]

[Ordinary Power: 13,390,000 years]

[Martial Saint’s Power: 80,300 years]

Martial Saint’s Power has reached 80,000 years, and Ordinary Power has surpassed 10 million years. Though the task of destroying Spirit Ruins Cave is given to the Demon Hunter Organization, every year reputation among civilians rises—yet, this reward is significant.

"Boom boom boom..."

Zhou Wuchang’s Dao appeared, towering ten thousand feet, condensed and robust, far surpassing any Saint Realm he had ever slain.

Entangled in chains of order, Zhou Wuchang’s Dao, soon to collapse, drew forth a realm of Dao, penetrating heaven and earth.

"Rumble rumble..."

The chains of order began to break, severing the connection with Zhou Wuchang’s Great Dao, and Wei Fan started to retreat.

Although the Dao Collapse of the Great Saint Powerhouse couldn’t harm him, he didn’t want to be caught in the aftermath of it either, spending effort to resist.

The battle had dragged on, and with multiple uses of the Bell Attraction to guide the power of the Ten Thousand Dao Bell, he was starting to show fatigue, with some internal injuries.

"Boom..."

Suddenly, his Sea of Consciousness shook violently, his heart and spirit were agitated, and his Martial Arts Celestial Eye opened. Thunder and lightning flashed on the Wind and Thunder Wings, giving him a chilling feeling of unease.

"Martial Arts Spiritual Sense warning!"

Wei Fan was alarmed, knowing that this sensation only occurred when facing a terrifying crisis capable of severely injuring or killing him. Only then would his Martial Arts Spiritual Sense send such an alarming feeling.

Even when facing the old demon Yuan Jiuling previously, his Martial Arts Spiritual Sense hadn’t warned him like this.

"Buzzing..."

At the same time, a pathway behind him vibrated. From the corner of his eye, he saw a burst of black light, instantly realizing the danger came from behind.

At this moment, a world-shaking killing intent spread, and even without the Martial Arts Spiritual Sense, he knew someone was attacking from behind.

"Boom!"

Even before turning around, a multitude of rays burst from Wei Fan’s body. Dao Power surged from every inch of his skin, weaving a light shield, while the Great Saint Power roared out like stormy waves, sweeping in all directions, hoping to repel the enemy.

In truth, even when facing this life-or-death crisis, he didn’t want to expose his true identity. Although he responded quickly, he didn’t reveal his Body Ascension cultivation.

The Ten Thousand Dao Bell was always protecting his body beneath the skin. If it couldn’t protect him, exposing his true identity was also a dead end.

"Get lost!"

His spirit was highly tense, and his Will Power roared, with the Power of Heart and Spirit sweeping wildly. However, the assailant was terrifying, slashing through his power and closing in with frightening speed.

Wei Fan realized he was facing a super expert in assassination. The opponent’s stealth technique was unparalleled, and their speed and strength were terrifyingly extreme.

However, his released power wasn’t useless; it managed to slow the opponent’s speed a little, giving him time to turn and counterattack.

"Black Nether!"

There was no need to think; in the world, other than Black Nether, there was no second entity with such assassination methods.

Using the Wind Escape Step, he quickly moved to the side, distancing himself from the opponent while swiftly turning and activating the Heart Method of Profound Celestial Qi to throw a punch.

At this moment, Wei Fan saw the opponent was a person shrouded in Black Armor, only their eyes exposed, concealing whether they were male or female. Their body exuded fierce killing intent and overwhelming Evil Qi, at the Great Saint Level, wielding a Saint-Slaying Sword cutting through his protective light, stabbing toward his head.

The Saint-Slaying Sword, Black Nether’s most terrifying weapon, specially designed to break the body of those at Body Ascension, was the second time Wei Fan encountered it.

"Bang!"

In the nick of time, as the Saint-Slaying Sword was about to split his skull, Wei Fan’s fist, glowing with green light, finally struck the sword body, making the Saint-Slaying Sword graze past his skin, voiding the killing blow.

"Wei Ran, be careful!"

"Brother Wei, watch out!"

"No!"

"Be wary of the Black Nether Assassin!"

...

At this moment, the anxious shouts of Wei Ying, Mu Yi, and others came, thankfully alerting Wei Fan. If they had waited to warn him, Wei Fan would have been doomed.

"Boom..."

They erupted with power while cautioning Wei Fan, having long left their original positions, rushing madly for rescue, relieved upon seeing Wei Fan evade the lethal sword strike.

[Elder Dun: Great Saint Realm, Black Nether Assassin Elder, countless kills]

[Defeat him to gain 500,000 years of ordinary power and 10,000 years of Martial Saint’s power]

The panel flickered, displaying information on the Black Armored person, indeed an assassin of Black Nether.

"Bastard!"

Wei Fan felt a chill on his forehead, uninjured, but his anger finally exploded at this moment.

Again with Black Nether’s men; ever since the Zilan Sect hired them to kill him, he had been entangled with the organization, encountering multiple assassination attempts.

Even after annihilating the Zilan Sect, Black Nether continued their efforts to kill him.

However, his current identity was "Wei Ran" instead of Wei Fan. He wondered if this assassination was because the Black Nether assassins knew he was Wei Fan, or if other forces hired them to kill "Wei Ran".

If the latter was the case, it would be alright, but if the former, Black Nether’s terror would need to be reevaluated.
