C60 (1/2)

Hong Ling stood in a huge and empty secret room, his eyes tightly staring at the nine enormous stone tablets in front of him.

This was an inscription that belonged to the era of the Ancient Desolate King. However, within Hong Ling's consciousness, he could feel the information contained within this inscription. It was like an old man that had been silent for a long time, slowly recounting the glory of the ancient era to a youth.

Hong Ling was just quietly comprehending everything that the stone tablet had brought to his mind, he did not know much about the matters of the Primordial Era, furthermore, that era had already passed, an era that did not belong to him, other than being sad, he could not do anything else.

The youth sat in the center of the nine stone tablets for three days. In these three days, he saw many battles between heavenly beings in the era of the Ancient Desolate King, as well as the power of ancient cultivators that could move mountains and overturn the seas.

They walked on this piece of land and continued to reproduce with their species. The unending battles in this world originated from the righteousness in their hearts, deeply imprinted on the young man's soul.

In this world, one had to have emotions such as being a person, gaining enlightenment of the righteousness of the world, and even more so, pursuing the great Dao of the world.

Rumble, the nine stone tablets shattered, and countless flowing light condensed into a golden scripture in the air, gently falling onto Hong Ling's body. The young man took the scripture and looked at it, and was startled.

”This is … the 'Heavenly Desolation Flame Mantra'?” Hong Ling casually took out the ancient scroll made from sheepskin from the spatial ring. After carefully comparing the two, he realized that it really was the《 Heavenly Desolation Flame Transformation Art》, however, he quickly saw the difference.

The Heavenly Desolation Flame Mantra that he had obtained from the Martial Competition was obviously more crude, or perhaps even more urgent, in the written records. In that case, just what happened to the person who created the Heavenly Desolation Flame Skill?

Hong Ling was not clear, but from his previous comprehension of the Ancient Desolate King's Era, he knew that Human Clan was not a member of this Great Realm. In this world, there were tens of thousands of races, and many powerful races were multiplying, competing with Human Clan for resources and territories.

Obviously, the era of the Rage King was the era where hundreds of clans competed, but the Heavenly Desolate Flame Mantra that Hong Ling obtained at the Heavenly Desolate Martial Conference was incomplete. Or rather, even though this secret technique was complete, it did not state the conditions for it.

However, now that Hong Ling had obtained the complete Heaven Desolation Flame Mantra, he was still unable to practice it. This was because the conditions of the Heaven Desolation Flame Technique was simply too harsh.

”Break through the tenth stage of the World Barrier, and fuse the essence, energy, and divine in your body. From then on, there will no longer be any difference in the strength of your entire body. All will return the same way!”

Hong Ling laughed bitterly, the tenth stage of the World Barrier was not that easy to break. Even though he had broken through the ninth stage, there was a clear record of the tenth stage within the Heavenly Desolation Flame Arts.

Breaking through the tenth layer, the heaven's Mandate belonged to someone with great luck. However, let alone breaking it, Hong Ling didn't even know how to find the tenth layer of World Barrier.

”I wonder how Ah Yue is doing now!”

Hong Ling shook his head. It was obvious that he would not be able to learn this Desolate Flame Mantra, but he was not discouraged. Even in the era of the King of Desolation, only the King of Desolation could learn this technique, and not every generation of King of Desolation.

This Heavenly Desolate Flame Transformation Art was actually just a secret technique, it was a secret technique belonging to the refiners. However, if its true effects were to spread, Hong Ling would instantly become everyone's target, and the Heavenly Desolate Sacred Flame that was formed by the Heavenly Desolate Flame Transformation Art would be able to be used in refining.

The reason why artificers in this world were so respected was because they possessed a sacred flame that was different from ordinary people. It could be used to refine artifacts, and every artificer could refine their own artifacts.

Magic tools were existences that far surpassed ordinary weapons. They contained laws within them that allowed them to become incomparably powerful. It could be said that even the lowest level magic tools would cause one to madly chase after them.

The lowest authority to use it corresponded to the four stages of the martial path, while the Heaven Desolation Flame Technique in Hong Ling's hands could create holy flames that could surpass the existence of Celestial Rank Magic Equipment. If this information was spread out, it would be absolutely shocking.

Hong Ling had investigated Da Chu's background and discovered that even the most powerful refiner in Da Chu could only refine Celestial Rank Magic Equipment s. However, even so, the position of this Master Refiner was not inferior to Da Chu's noble king, and there was no need for him to bow in front of Human Emperor of Great Chu.

Above the Celestial Rank Magic Equipment, there were also Holy-ranked Artifacts and legendary Destiny Magic Treasures. The nation guarding artifact of Great Chu Empire was the Ghost Xiong Sword that the first generation of Human Emperor of Great Chu had left behind, that was a genuine Destiny Magic Tool.

After surpassing the Celestial Rank and saint rank magic tools, they were above many other magic tools in the world. Only the heaven's Mandate of some of the hidden great clans or sects could match them.

Hong Ling looked at the Heavenly Desolate Flame Mantra in his hands. Even though he was envious, he could only watch how easy it was to break the tenth layer of the barrier and retrieve his fate's trajectory from the sky.
