Martial Artist: Stronger by Coasting Along

Not to mention there’s also help from the Shen Family.

Because of this, during this stage, the Upper Alliance and the Shen Family are both searching for Wu Daozi.

Of course, Zhang Lingfeng wasn’t naive enough to think that, aside from Wu Daozi, no one could threaten his life.

Shen Rufeng was, after all, an Integration Stage Great Cultivator, with vast Divine Techniques, and backed by the Shen Family; he definitely had many methods that were impossible to guard against. So increasing his strength had become Zhang Lingfeng’s most urgent, most important matter.

"I wonder, if my Soul Power undergoes a second metamorphosis, plus the All Things Live Divine Techniques, and my Law Penetration into the Black Water Star Realm—inside this Black Water Star Realm, would I be able to contend against a Divinity Transformation expert?"

Zhang Lingfeng wondered aloud.

"If I invest all my Coasting Along Value into the Black Water Star Realm Law, my Penetration into the Black Water Star Realm Law should be able to reach ten percent. My strength at that time will definitely undergo a huge change.

But Divinity Transformation experts transform their Nascent Soul into Divinity, and grasp Divine Techniques; with only ten percent Law Power Penetration, I may still be unable to cope.

Secondly, I always feel that when I stir the Black Water Star Realm Law Power, I will be constrained by Shen Rufeng’s Law, that he can detect the disturbance.

Using the power of his Law, he can restrict my use of the Black Water Star Realm Law Power.

Unless my Penetration into the Black Water Star Realm Law Power surpasses his, or at least equals his, only then will I not be limited."

As the Black Water Star Realm Law numerical value reached 1.5%, Zhang Lingfeng more and more clearly captured that pulling sensation.

This pulling sensation, under the effect of Law, was no longer as simple as when he previously penetrated his Power into Ancient Blue Star, where he could freely use Ancient Blue Star Law Power anytime, anywhere—even Mengba couldn’t restrict him.

Back then Mengba’s Law Penetration into Ancient Blue Star had also surpassed thirty percent.

But he hadn’t left behind a Law.

Even Zhang Lingfeng now, even while simultaneously grasping Life Dao Power, still couldn’t leave behind a Law in the Ancient Blue Star Law.

When condensing the Seven-star Golden Core, Zhang Lingfeng had seemingly escaped Shen Rufeng’s Law constraints, but once his Power penetrated into the Black Water Star Realm Law, it was still unavoidable that his Power would clash and pull against Shen Rufeng’s.

That powerful Law effect seemed to appear once more above Zhang Lingfeng’s head.

He could choose not to end and not to confront it, but as long as he chose to confront and come into contact, it was unavoidable—he would be enveloped by Shen Rufeng’s Law, until he completely shattered this layer of Law.

Thinking it over and over, Zhang Lingfeng added one hundred million Coasting Along Value each into Soul Power, Life Dao, and even the All Things Live Divine Techniques.

Coasting Along Value: 903299686

First Soul Power Metamorphosis: (11/100)

Life Dao: (12.7/100)

Divine Techniques: All Things Live (11/100)

Zhang Lingfeng discovered that whether it was numerical conversion after the first Soul Power Metamorphosis, or the numerical conversion of Life Dao, or the numerical conversion of the All Things Live Divine Techniques, all of them remained in a system of ten million Coasting Along Value to one point.

Now, with more than nine hundred million Coasting Along Value remaining, if Zhang Lingfeng were to invest all of it into any single strand of Power, he could push any one Power to the Ultimate.

If Soul Power undergoes a second Metamorphosis, he can condense Great Divine Techniques and break the balance of Great Divine Techniques.

If Life Dao Power reaches the Ultimate, the Life Force Zhang Lingfeng can draw will definitely be much greater—reviving the dead and restoring flesh to bone would be nothing at all. Even if his physical body is shattered and his Divine Soul extinguished, as long as his fate remains bound to Ancient Blue Star’s Life, Zhang Lingfeng could swiftly return from death, even reshape his body and recover peak strength.

As for the All Things Live Divine Techniques.

Zhang Lingfeng always felt that this Divine Power also contained the Life Profound Meaning, and seemed to complement the Life Dao; in short, if it reached the Ultimate, his own strength would also undergo an earth-shaking transformation.

"What’s most urgent now is first to preserve my life; only after that do I consider how to oppose Shen Rufeng."

"The significance of Life Dao is extraordinary—it can both increase my strength and enhance my life-preserving measures. Even if my body is smashed, I can rely on Life Dao Power to quickly reshape my flesh."

"I have no reason to spend Coasting Along Value on Soul Power just to condense Great Divine Techniques, or to reach Great Divine Power balance."

Thinking of how Ancient Blue Star already has the Black Boat there.

Zhang Lingfeng finally decided to push Life Dao Power to the Ultimate.

Let himself obtain the Power to fully grasp Ancient Blue Star’s Life, and even, through one hundred percent Life Dao, attempt to control and command all Life Force of the Black Water Star Realm.

Thus Zhang Lingfeng invested the remaining nine hundred-some million points of Coasting Along Value all at once into Life Dao.

He wanted to see whether, with so much Coasting Along Value poured in, the Life Dao Power could undergo a Metamorphosis.

Coasting Along Value: none

Life Law: (1/100)

Zhang Lingfeng’s face was full of shock—the Life Dao had actually undergone a Metamorphosis and become Life Law.

"With injuries this severe, unless a Great Divine Power User who grasps Life Law takes action to help, there will be no possibility of condensing a Golden Core again, and for the rest of his life he will never again be able to comprehend a Dao Seed."

"Awakening Divine Secret Skill from within Life Dao, causing the Law to undergo continuous Metamorphosis."

In Zhang Lingfeng’s mind, he couldn’t help but recall what Mao Shusheng had said back then, after Duan Shumo’s Golden Core was destroyed.

Mao Shusheng was also a member of the Upper Alliance, with identity and Level the same as Ao Boxuan’s, worlds apart from Qin Tiancang.

Back then, when the other party mentioned Life Law, Zhang Lingfeng remembered it clearly. Later, after he grasped Life Dao, Zhang Lingfeng had assumed that Life Dao was Life Law.

Only now, seeing the numerical change, did he realize that Life Law was a strand of Power above Life Dao.

This truly was a case of "a misstep turned into a blessing in disguise."

Originally he’d wanted Soul Power to undergo a second Metamorphosis, to condense Great Divine Techniques through Soul Power; he hadn’t expected that after Life Dao’s Metamorphosis into Life Law, he could instead condense Divine Secret Skill from within Life Law and cause the Law to undergo continuous Metamorphosis.

Of course, the premise was that Mao Shusheng’s insight wasn’t mistaken, that what he said back then wasn’t fabricated out of thin air.

But regardless, the fact that Life Dao could undergo Metamorphosis made Zhang Lingfeng deeply joyful.

"I’ve never felt Ancient Blue Star’s Life Power fluctuations this clear before."

"I can even rely on Life Law to capture a portion of the Life Power fluctuations on the Black Water Star Realm."

"Life is the origin from which all Power is born!"

"I finally understand why every Law contains Life Power, and why Life Law can cause Laws to undergo continuous Metamorphosis."

Zhang Lingfeng belatedly realized this; an indescribable enlightenment emerged in his mind, and his brain was forming a storm.

Previously he could, via Ancient Blue Star’s Life Power, increase his own strength, injecting Life Power into Laws or Skills to augment the might of Laws and Skills.

But now that he grasped Life Law.

Zhang Lingfeng discovered that he could use Ancient Blue Star’s Life Power, or other Life Power of the Black Water Star Realm, to directly create a Metamorphosis effect in the Laws or Skills he grasped.

Let every strand of Power be elevated.

If previously Life Dao was a Power additive that only caused quantitative change, then now Life Law was a Power transformer, which, on top of that quantitative state, could go one step further and directly achieve qualitative change.

The effects of the two simply couldn’t be compared.

Zhang Lingfeng had a certain intuition.

Not to mention that if his physical body were shattered, he could reshape it through Life Law Power—even if his Divine Soul developed a problem, he could quickly heal it.

This Life Law was like that Law left behind by Linley Baruch in the Yulan Star Realm for the Baruch Clan, which ensured that the clan’s members’ Divine Souls would not dissipate after death.

Zhang Lingfeng seemed to gain insight into the mysteries of that Law left behind by Linley Baruch.

His heart was wildly overjoyed.

He hadn’t expected the Metamorphosis of Life Dao to bring him such immense benefits and Power growth.

At this moment, he felt that even ten Li Kuangdaos wouldn’t be enough for him to cut down.

He could, by relying on Life Law, bestow Metamorphosis Power upon the Laws and Skills he grasped, and in an instant slaughter ten existences like Li Kuangdao.

You have to know, Life Law could cause the Ancient Blue Star Laws that Zhang Lingfeng grasped, and even the Black Water Star Realm Law Power, to undergo Metamorphosis.

Just then, two figures entered the Black Water Star Realm one after another.

They were, respectively, Qin Tiancang’s female disciple Nie Lin, who was carrying Primordial Spirit Replenishing Liquid to let Zhang Lingfeng ingest, and at the same time planned to teach Zhang Lingfeng a lesson to vent her master’s anger.

And Mo Sha, who, with Shen Rufeng’s help, had with great difficulty transformed his Nascent Soul into Divinity and obtained a body of pseudo-Divinity Transformation strength.

One of the two was brimming with anger, the other with excitement.

Each harbored their own thoughts; one took the Teleportation Array, while the other flew straight toward Ancient Blue Star as if no one else were there.
