Martial Defiance Across Nine Thousand Realms

Martial arts cultivation is founded upon the mastery of techniques.

A powerful technique brings boundless benefits to a martial artist.

It directly translates to faster cultivation, purer and more robust strength.

At the ninth level of the Gathering Core Realm, Ye Han's divine power was already a hundred times that of an ordinary person.

Back then, he didn't realize the significance of this disparity between individuals.

But today, Ye Han acknowledged for the first time just how formidable his Nine Heavens Dragon Control Technique was. Within Cycle Academy, it would be hard to find any technique that could match it.

Who would have thought that a mere Outer Sect disciple like himself would possess a technique surpassing Heaven Level?

"Yin Tianxiu, Feng Wuliang, even you geniuses don't have techniques that can compare to my Nine Heavens Dragon Control Technique, right?"

"You've just started cultivating a few years before me and might not be as strong as the rumors say. I, Ye Han, will eventually rise and stand shoulder to shoulder with you, or even surpass you," Ye Han thought to himself.

Aren't there six positions for the Children of Reincarnation in Cycle Academy?

Feng Wuliang only occupies one of them; there are still five spots vacant. Ye Han felt that he might contend for one of them in the future.

With his thoughts refocused, Ye Han returned his attention to the Imperial Extreme World-Shocking Record.

"When I was channeling the Nine Heavens Dragon Control Technique, I noticed that although the divine power induced by the Imperial Extreme World-Shocking Record was suppressed, both techniques fundamentally focus on tempering the body, strengthening the Root Bone, vital energy, and even the soul."

"In essence, the two techniques are similar; the Imperial Extreme World-Shocking Record could be seen as a vastly weakened version of the Nine Heavens Dragon Control Technique."

Realizing this, Ye Han suddenly found a solution.

He wouldn't settle for the Imperial Extreme World-Shocking Record, but it was still a Heaven Level technique, rare in the entire Primordial Void Domain, invaluable, and could help him conceal everything about the Nine Heavens Dragon Control Technique.

But how to hide it?

Ye Han spent an entire night experimenting and finally managed to control the Nine Heavens Dragon Control Technique at will.

With a single thought, he could completely emulate the aura of the Imperial Extreme World-Shocking Record, producing divine power with the same essence, making it impossible for anyone to detect the secret within.

The Imperial Extreme World-Shocking Record, when cultivated to its limit, could evolve into a powerful method called the Heaven Earth Human Emperor Diagram.

Yet, Ye Han saw a new direction.

With the Nine Heavens Dragon Control Technique, he could not only evolve the Heaven Earth Human Emperor Diagram but even a more powerful Myriad Realms Dragon Emperor Diagram.

Of course, this was just a deduction, an idea, and whether it could truly be successful in the future remained unknown.

The next day, at dawn, Ye Han slowly ended his cultivation.

He stepped out of Dragon Hidden Hall and continued to practice a secret technique: Divine Power Explosion.

He temporarily didn't want to be distracted by the three martial skills in the Imperial Extreme World-Shocking Record. After all, the Tiger and Leopard Thunder Fist given by his teacher Mo Qingrou was not yet perfected, but the Divine Power Explosion seemed tailor-made for him.

It was a secret technique that directly enhanced combat power!

In the training ground before Dragon Hidden Hall, facing the rising sun, Ye Han's fists kept flying.

With the burst of hundreds of fist lights, his divine power and divine energy became more adept and stable, transforming internally and externally according to the Divine Power Explosion method.

Boom!

At a certain moment, a vacuum blast occurred.

Ye Han's punch exploded like a pinpoint burst, and the power of that instant had a qualitative leap.

"What a powerful secret technique!" Ye Han was astonished.

With just "one explosion," the power of his strike had already significantly increased out of thin air.

The divine power within his body seemed more active and boiling, with his vital energy flourishing. As he continued to punch, his two strands of divine power became purer.

Boom, boom, boom...

The sun hung high for three hours, and the sound of explosions on Dragon Hidden Peak became more frequent, like a string of firecrackers.

"Twenty-eight explosions!" Ye Han, drenched in sweat, stopped and felt a tinge of regret.

After twenty-eight explosions of divine power, the force of a single punch had surpassed that of an ordinary Divine Power Realm double layer by countless times.

But this was his current limit; any further explosion would tear his flesh apart.

Ye Han's divine power was already vigorous, and his combat power was astonishing. With the addition of this secret technique, if he were to truly fight for his life now, even a fifth-layer Divine Power Realm expert would be forced to kneel and call him grandpa.

"The gap with Luo Tianzheng is still huge!" Ye Han pondered.

Luo Tianzheng had suffered a great loss before.

But since his return, the man hadn't appeared, and Ye Han always felt something was amiss.

Such an arrogant and domineering person, who was highly regarded by Feng Wuliang and assigned to guard Ye Zhixuan, wouldn't let things rest after suffering a loss.

He was likely brewing some conspiracy against Ye Han.

With everything unknown, the best approach for Ye Han was to quickly enhance his strength.

Moreover, to kill Ye Zhixuan without first eliminating Luo Tianzheng was an arduous task.

As Ye Han pondered all this, his brows suddenly furrowed.

He felt a disturbance in the Inscription array set up around Dragon Hidden Peak.

"Is someone trying to forcefully enter Dragon Hidden Peak?"

Ye Han's expression turned cold, and with a dragon-like stride, he headed down the mountain.

When he arrived at the base of Dragon Hidden Peak using the Inscription teleportation array, he immediately saw a large crowd approaching.

At least hundreds of people, mostly onlookers, were present.

Only at the forefront was a tall, physically powerful man continuously striking the teleportation array's altar.

"Who are you?" Ye Han looked at the man calmly.

The man stopped, his eyes filled with anger and murderous intent clashed with Ye Han's.

The moment he locked eyes with Ye Han, his pupils dilated: "Are you Ye Han?"

"Correct!" Ye Han replied.

"Tell me, who gave you the audacity to cultivate on Dragon Hidden Peak?"

The man was straightforward and extremely domineering, as if Dragon Hidden Peak belonged to him.

"Hmm?"

"I'm cultivating on Dragon Hidden Peak; is there a problem?" Ye Han was somewhat baffled, initially thinking Luo Tianzheng couldn't swallow his pride and had finally come to find him.

Instead, he was confronted with this brainless fool.

"Dragon Hidden Peak belongs to Human Path, and no outsider is allowed on the mountain. Get lost!"

The man stepped forward, his stomp causing the altar to tremble for a moment, and an overwhelming pressure suddenly enveloped Ye Han.

From afar, many disciples whispered and discussed:

"This Ye Han really lacks awareness!"

"Indeed, who does he think he is to enter Dragon Hidden Peak? I wonder which elder assigned it to him."

"I heard Ye Zhixuan and he don't get along, and he has provoked the Limitless Sword Sect... Could someone be deliberately targeting him?"

Yesterday, it was announced in the Academy that Dragon Hidden Peak had a new owner, recorded in the books as someone named Ye Han.

Regarding this, the Academy had spread the word, and almost everyone was displeased.

Why should an Outer Sect disciple own a mountain peak?

You should know that even some lower-ranked Inner Disciples had to squeeze several people into one peak for cultivation.

The Academy had many peaks, but the allocation was tight.

At this moment, most were mocking Ye Han.
