Chaos Heaven-Dominating Technique

After Xiang Tian left the Blood Skull Base, a piece of news spread through the small town like a plague.

"Hey, did you hear? That kid the Blood Skull Mercenaries took away yesterday has a Top Grade Spirit Stone on him!"

"A Top Grade Spirit Stone? You don’t think that golden light from the other day was from the Spirit Stone, do you?"

"That must be it!"

"Hey, wait, that’s not right. If it’s a Top Grade Spirit Stone, why would the Blood Skull Mercenaries let this news get out?"

"You haven’t heard? I heard the kid royally screwed over the Blood Skull Mercenary Corps’ leader, Xue Qinghe. So now Xue Qinghe is hunting him all over town and has even put out a huge bounty! Whoever catches him will be promoted directly to fourth-in-command of the Blood Skull Mercenary Corps, and they’ll get to keep the Top Grade Spirit Stone!"

"What! Where did you hear that?"

"One of my buddies is a member of the Blood Skull. It’s inside information!"

"Then what are you waiting for? Let’s go find that kid before someone else gets to him..."

In Yunluo Town, conversations like this could be heard everywhere. A day later, portraits of Shen Haoran were plastered all over the town’s streets and alleys; not even the latrines were spared. However, Shen Haoran was completely oblivious to all of this...

At this moment, Shen Haoran and Elder Yan had already reached the middle ring of the Profound Spirit Mountain Range. With the help of the Gluttonous Little Beast, they found a waterfall that wasn’t guarded by any Spirit Beasts.

"Changmao, you really came through, finding such a great spot!" Shen Haoran said with satisfaction as he looked at the plunging waterfall before him.

"I told you, don’t call me Changmao! I have my own name. It’s Di Tian! Di Tian, you understand?!" the Gluttonous Little Beast retorted, baring its fangs and claws from its perch on Shen Haoran’s shoulder.

Hearing the Gluttonous Little Beast’s cry, Shen Haoran said seriously, "Di Tian? That name’s too common. Changmao sounds better. Or we could go with Lucky. Pick one!"

"You..." The Gluttonous Little Beast—oh, no, we should call him Changmao now. Changmao was utterly speechless at his moronic master and could only admit defeat.

Seeing Changmao fall silent, Shen Haoran nodded in satisfaction. "Now that’s more like it!"

Watching the two clowns, the corner of Elder Yan’s eye couldn’t help but twitch. At the same time, he was secretly impressed with Shen Haoran. ’He’s probably the only one who would dare to name an Ancient Divine Beast Taotie ’Lucky’!’

"Alright, this is indeed a good place for cultivation. It happens to meet the training conditions for the Martial Skill I’m going to teach you," Elder Yan said. Joking around was one thing, but they couldn’t forget their real business.

The moment he heard "Martial Skill," Shen Haoran tossed Changmao aside. His eyes gleaming, he looked at Elder Yan and asked eagerly, "Elder Yan, what Martial Skill are you going to teach me?"

Seeing Shen Haoran’s expression, like a starving ghost who’d just seen a meat bun, Elder Yan chuckled and took a scroll from his Storage Ring, handing it to him.

Shen Haoran took the scroll and impatiently unfurled it. A beam of light shot into the space between his eyebrows, and a stream of information appeared in his mind: Heaven-Breaking Kill, a Profound Tier High Level Martial Skill. Concentrate all of your body’s power into a single point for an instantaneous burst. In battle, it can shatter bones and tear tendons! When cultivated to its peak, it can split mountains, sunder the earth, and even break the heavens, with power comparable to an Earth Tier Martial Skill! The cultivation method is as follows...

Seeing this, Shen Haoran’s brows furrowed tightly, and he said nothing.

"What’s wrong? Is something the matter?" Elder Yan asked, looking at Shen Haoran in confusion.

"Elder Yan, why is it only Profound Tier High Level? Don’t you have any Celestial Tier Martial Skills? Just teaching me a move or two would be fine," Shen Haoran said.

Hearing Shen Haoran’s words, Elder Yan rapped him sharply on the head and cursed, "Why don’t you just ask for the moon while you’re at it?! You want a Celestial Tier Martial Skill? You think those things grow on trees? You want me to just teach you a move or two? Do you have any idea how much Spiritual Power it takes to use a Celestial Tier Martial Skill? Forget Celestial Tier, even this Profound Tier High Level Heaven-Breaking Kill would drain every last drop of Spiritual Power from your Spirit Pill, and you’d only be able to use it twice! You’re trying to run before you can even walk! If I don’t teach you a lesson today, then I’m not your master!" With that, Elder Yan grabbed Shen Haoran’s ear and gave him a sound thrashing!

"Aaaah..." A miserable scream rang out. Changmao, watching from the side, couldn’t help but shrink back at the sight of such a ferocious Elder Yan. Still, seeing Shen Haoran’s pathetic state, he had only one thought in his mind: ’Sweet!’

A while later, Shen Haoran sat there nursing the large lump on his head, aggrievedly listening to Elder Yan explain the training details for Heaven-Breaking Kill.

"Just as the scroll’s description says, Heaven-Breaking Kill requires you to concentrate all of your body’s strength into a single point, then unleash it in an instant to strike the enemy. The power is immense! I’ll give you a demonstration, lest you say I’m deceiving you!"

As Elder Yan finished speaking, his entire aura coalesced. The Spiritual Power between heaven and earth rapidly gathered around him, instantly forming a Spiritual Power Vortex.

"Heaven-Breaking Kill!"

Elder Yan roared and sent a punch flying toward the plunging waterfall!

BOOM! A tremendous roar echoed. In the next moment, a misty spray exploded outward, countless columns of water shot into the sky, and steam instantly filled the surroundings!

SPLASH! When the mist cleared, the waterfall before them was completely changed. Elder Yan’s single punch had actually blasted it so hard that the flow was cut off! A huge cave had also been formed in the cliff face behind the waterfall!

"This..." Staring at the power of that punch, Shen Haoran was too shocked to speak.

"This is the true power of Heaven-Breaking Kill! Still looking down on it?" Elder Yan said teasingly to the dumbfounded Shen Haoran.

"I wouldn’t dare, I wouldn’t dare! Elder Yan, hurry and teach me!" Shen Haoran said hastily.

"Don’t be so hasty. To cultivate Heaven-Breaking Kill, you must meet two conditions!

First, you must possess an extremely strong physique! Heaven-Breaking Kill requires an instantaneous explosion of all your power, which places an immense burden on the body. If your constitution is too weak, you’ll be consumed by the backlash of your own power the moment you unleash it!

Second, you need extremely fine control over your own power! This is crucial. If you can’t unleash your power in a single instant, then Heaven-Breaking Kill becomes just plain suicide!"

"Next, I will focus on training your physique and your control over your power. You’d better be mentally prepared!" Elder Yan said, looking at Shen Haoran.

"Bring it on, Elder Yan! I can take it!"

"Good! Here, put this on first!" Elder Yan took out a giant ruler from his Storage Ring that was two heads taller than Shen Haoran.

Staring at the enormous ruler, Shen Haoran asked in confusion, "What is this?"

"I don’t know either. I found it in an Ancient Tomb in my early years and haven’t been able to figure it out after all this time. However, its weight is staggering. Carrying it on your back for weight training is an excellent way to temper your physique!" Elder Yan said.

"’Staggering weight? How heavy can it be?’" Shen Haoran was skeptical. He walked forward, wanting to lift the giant ruler. However, even using all the strength he could muster, he couldn’t make it budge an inch.

"I don’t believe this!" Shen Haoran rolled up his sleeves, mobilized the Spirit Pill within his body, and once again grabbed for the giant ruler.

This time, Shen Haoran finally managed to lift the giant ruler, but his legs sank straight into the earth.

"This... This damn thing is too heavy!"
