A person in the heavens, starting with a Chaos Emperor Dao Fruit

The sword is also a weapon that Yunhua is very skilled with, and it is quite suitable for the Phoenix lineage. This is because many of the freehand techniques in the Immortal Phoenix Treasure Art use phoenix wings as swords for slashing attacks.

Just after Yunhua chose her weapon, "strongmen" began to condense in the hazy space.

One by one, strongmen appeared before Yunhua.

These strongmen were all humanoid, each with three eyes that radiated a terrifying, ferocious light; they were all tall and strong, wielding various weapons, such as axes, hammers, and clubs...

These monsters breathed like thunder, their footsteps shook the earth, and their aura was ferocious. Each monster was powerful, and most importantly, there were hundreds of them.

"Kill!!" Yunhua didn't hesitate and swung his sword forward to kill.

With a single horizontal slash, five colors flashed in the void, the power of the five elements—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—transformed into blade energy, instantly spreading outwards. With just one strike, hundreds of warriors were instantly slain.

Moreover, not a single ounce of power was wasted in this strike; the five elements are mutually reinforcing, and no power can be wasted. In fact, the aura emanating from this strike continues to grow.

"Buzz!" "Buzz!" "Buzz!"...

Hundreds of strongmen fell, but even more strongmen followed, and the newly reborn strongmen were even more powerful.

Even so, these strongmen were no match for Yunhua's blade. He cut them down as easily as chopping melons and vegetables, and none of them could withstand a single blow from him.

The five elements cycle and are born and die, giving rise to almost endless changes. Especially when Yunhua wields his sword, he hardly uses his own power, but relies purely on the support of the primordial energy of heaven and earth.

The killing continued, and as Yunhua's mind and spirit merged with the blade, his understanding of the sword rapidly improved.

Sweep, chop, deflect, slice, pluck, parry, slash, strike, thrust...

The eight most basic techniques of this swordsmanship became smoother and more powerful in Yunhua's hands!

Combat is also Yunhua's greatest means of comprehending the Dao. He is now gradually transforming his understanding of the sword from other worlds into the Dao of the sword in this world!

This battle wasn't a fight at all; it was a harvest, a practice session with the sword!

The sword is the courage of all weapons!

There are four essentials to swordsmanship: first, be resolute and brave; second, be as fast as a shooting star; third, be clean and neat; and fourth, be graceful and elegant.

Knife skills are not just about being powerful; they also require accuracy, dexterity, and lightness.

At this moment, as Yunhua continued to wield his sword, and as his insights into the swordsmanship of other worlds converged, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth around him became sharper and more intense with his understanding.

At the same time, the complete Dao of the Sword in this Desolate Era world began to slowly unfold in Yunhua's heart. Every insight was like drawing back the mysterious veil of the Dao of the Sword in this world, revealing the earth-shattering picture within.

Yunhua's gaze grew increasingly sharp and domineering, captivating all who beheld him.

It was an unparalleled sharpness. If it were any other cultivators in the Purple Mansion realm, they would feel as if their bodies were being cleaved open, their primordial spirits split open, and even their hearts were being torn apart by the blade, just by making eye contact with it.

Those eyes seemed to contain a terrifying power that could cut down anything.

"This... comprehending the Dao through battle? To have grasped the Dao of the sword to such a level in such a short time!? There really are such people in this world."

"If I hadn't watched him grow up, how could I have believed that there could be such a person in this world?" Huang Mao Da Xiong, who had been watching Yun Hua's entire challenge, was deeply shocked.

How long would it take an ordinary person to cultivate to this level?

Even the most gifted geniuses need more than ten years of training!

However, since he entered the Divine Power Hall, he has been comprehending the Dao through battle for less than half an hour!

"His talent is limitless!" the yellow-haired bear exclaimed in shock. "He was born for the Dao. He can comprehend the Dao in battle, and he can also comprehend the Dao by observing the sun, moon, and stars... This talent... is no less than that of the legendary goddess Nuwa!"

"Brother, what's wrong? Is he about to fail?" The black ox, noticing the yellow-haired bear's strange expression, immediately asked.

"It wasn't a defeat; he used battle to comprehend the Dao and is growing stronger!"

After the blond bear gave a brief explanation, Yunhua's image grew even more imposing in the black ox's mind.

Chapter 948 The Origin of the Blade

Inside the Hall of Divine Power.

The hazy space continued to condense into powerful warriors, growing stronger and stronger. These warriors were fearless and many even resorted to suicidal tactics to fight against Yunhua.

But it was all in vain. Yunhua's understanding of the way of the sword in this world became more and more profound, and it became easier and easier to kill these strongmen. In fact, each strike did not require any strength, as simple as eating and drinking.

The sharp blade and the ever-flowing five elements combine to form an overwhelming power.

"Clang!", "Sound!", "Boom!"...

The streaks of sword light swept through the space like whirlwinds sweeping away fallen leaves. Even though the warriors grew stronger, it was still useless. No one could compete with them, and their efficiency did not diminish in the slightest.

Yunhua swung his sword again and again, and finally, after he killed the last warrior, the void fell silent, and no new warriors appeared.

However, Yunhua continued to practice his swordplay. Now that the enemy was gone, he stood alone in the hall, quietly practicing his swordsmanship.

Sweep, chop, deflect, slice, pluck, parry, slash, thrust!

It was still the same eight techniques of the sword, but with each practice, his sword became more and more pure, and even the Five Elements Dao that he himself had comprehended completely disappeared, leaving only the sword in his hand.

Gradually, with his movements, a faint black glint appeared on the blade of his sword.

"The power of the sword... It's actually the power of the sword!? How old is he? He hasn't even fully comprehended the complete way of the sword, how could he possibly comprehend something like this?" The moment he saw this thing, the yellow-haired bear outside the main hall was greatly shocked.

This is a power unique to the sword, a power that only a swordsman can comprehend after fully understanding the way of the sword, a power that is closer to the origin of the sword.

"He felt the most fundamental essence of the sword during the battle, and that's how he comprehended the power of the sword?" The yellow-haired bear was increasingly shocked as it watched. Yunhua's existence had overturned its understanding of countless years.

It's as if his appearance was solely for the purpose of completely overturning all normalcy.

At this moment, in the hazy space, Yunhua had also stopped. He reached out and looked at the black power in his palm. A realization dawned on him—the power of the sword!

"So this is what the power of the blade is like in this world. The silvery-white one is the power of the sword, and the jet-black one is the power of the blade," Yunhua thought to himself.

Only someone like myself, who already possessed remarkable insights in other worlds, could comprehend the essence of the sword path in such a short time and cultivate a trace of sword power.

"Wow!!"

Just then, the blond bear appeared beside Yunhua and exclaimed in surprise:

"The power of the sword is truly unimaginable. You have actually cultivated such a thing in such a short time. If you were to follow the path of the sword, you probably wouldn't encounter any bottlenecks even up to the True God or Pure Yang True Immortal realms."

“Unfortunately, I am destined to follow the path of fire. Whether it is the power of the blade or the power of the sword, it must ultimately be integrated into my power of fire,” Yunhua continued.

"You've cleared the level and can now obtain the first divine power of the cave. Come with me!" The yellow-haired bear grabbed Yunhua.

"boom!"

The next moment, the hazy gray space began to distort, and Yunhua clearly felt a change in the flow of time around her. This was a strange space, powerful enough to warp time.

After the spatial tremors subsided, in the endless, misty void, there was a structure resembling an altar, with steps leading directly to its top.

“Go up there, that’s the inheritance of the strongest supernatural power in this cave!” said the yellow-haired bear.

Yunhua nodded and immediately stepped onto the stairs.

"Boom!!"

The moment he took his first step onto the stairs, he felt his soul resounding as ancient and timeless energy directly entered Yunhua's soul.

The passing down of the Star-Picking Hand has begun!

"So that's how it is. This is the inheritance of the Star-Picking Hand. This inheritance itself is also a test!" While receiving the inheritance, Yunhua was still evaluating the methods of this inheritance in his heart.

Each step taken brings a share of the inheritance, but at the same time, the soul must also endure sufficient pressure.

This pressure is a small test. If one cannot even withstand such pressure, then one is naturally not destined to become a Star-Picking Hand.

Soon, Yunhua stepped onto the second step, then the third, the fourth...

He absorbed the inheritance very quickly, with almost no pauses between each step.

"The master's inheritance is finally about to begin!" The yellow-haired bear looked at Yunhua climbing the steps, his eyes filled with a hint of longing and anticipation.

From beginning to end, the "master" in its heart was only the first master who created this cave.

Advance step by step, climb step by step.

Finally, Yunhua reached the pinnacle of the altar, and at this moment, the inheritance was completely over. This divine power was like a brand on his soul, impossible to forget.

"So this is the supernatural power—Star-Picking Hand!!" Images involuntarily surfaced in Yunhua's mind.

In the endless universe, a giant hand traversed billions of miles of void, directly grasped a star, and then gently squeezed it, instantly shattering the star.

A gigantic hand slammed down from billions of miles away, instantly reducing a majestic and imposing god to nothingness; the giant hand grasped a world, then gently squeezed it, and the world shattered...

"The supernatural powers of this world are quite interesting. It's not just about using one's own divine power; external aids are also needed when cultivating these powers." Yunhua silently pondered the Star-Picking Hand supernatural power.

This supernatural power can be said to be the first supernatural power that Yunhua obtained in this world. Through this supernatural power, he was able to fully grasp some of the characteristics of supernatural powers in this world.

These countless supernatural powers are somewhat similar to the various secret techniques of the "Covering the Sky" technique. Their basic function is to amplify one's own power and speed to form a special attack. However, the supernatural powers in this world often require some external assistance during the cultivation process.

For example, cultivating the Star-Picking Hand technique requires the assistance of some of the five elements' essence.

From this perspective, this cultivation system is more like the one that fuses weapons to refine the body, using external objects to enhance strength. However, its essence is different from the weapon-fusion body-refinement system; they are different things.

Yunhua turned her gaze to a futon not far away.

These are things that the Taoist Sanshou prepared before his death. If you learn his supernatural powers, you must become his disciple!

Yunhua didn't think much of it and immediately became a disciple.

Just as Yunhua bowed down, a majestic figure appeared in the distance at the top of the altar.

He was a thousand feet tall, with bronze skin that made him appear strong and powerful. He wore only animal skins, which made him look even more fierce and powerful.

He looks exactly like a human, but what's most unique is that he only has one right hand.

This is the phantom image of the Taoist Sanshou.

At this moment, the Taoist looked at Yunhua and said, "Your supernatural powers have been bestowed upon you. Only when you transcend the Heavenly Tribulation and become a Heavenly God can you be considered my disciple, the Three Longevity Taoist. Do not slacken your efforts and tarnish my reputation."

Chapter 949 Star-Picking Hand

As soon as he finished speaking, the only remaining arm of the Taoist Sanshou was slightly raised and pointed at Yunhua.

"Crash!!"

Instantly, five colors of light—black, white, yellow, red, and cyan—flew directly to Yunhua's side, and then the illusory figure of Daoist Sanshou disappeared.

Yunhua immediately sat down cross-legged and activated his Star-Picking Hand Divine Power. After the five-colored light of the Three Longevity Daoist merged into Yunhua's body, it was immediately absorbed by this divine power, and his hands also immediately emitted five-colored light.

The multicolored light gradually merged into Yunhua's hands, and finally his hands turned into a layer of chaotic color. But soon all the strange phenomena disappeared, and his hands returned to normal.

"So that's how it is. This is the Star-Picking Divine Rune... The first stage of the Six-Stage Star-Picking Hand has been completed." Yun Hua shook his hands forcefully, and an extremely complex divine rune appeared in his palms. This divine rune is the core of the Star-Picking Hand.

Every supernatural power requires a long period of cultivation, and the Star-Picking Hand is no exception. One can only master the first transformation at the Purple Mansion level, the second transformation at the Myriad Manifestations level, the third transformation at the Primordial Spirit level, the fourth transformation at the Earth Immortal level, the fifth transformation at the Heavenly God level, and the sixth transformation at the True God level.

Only after breaking through the realm through the Divine Demon Body Refinement can one cultivate the content of the next stage.

This supernatural power is extremely powerful, but along with its power comes an immense burden on the divine body; if the divine body is not strong enough, it is highly likely to collapse during the cultivation process.

This Star-Picking Hand technique requires not only personal cultivation but also external assistance; it needs a large amount of substances containing the power of the five elements to aid in its cultivation.

Yunhua's first Star-Picking Technique was refined from the Five Elements essence left behind by the Taoist Sanshou.

"Master's Star-Picking Hand has finally found a successor." At this moment, the yellow-haired bear also appeared beside Yunhua, his voice tinged with sadness.

"Our master is the Chaos Demon God, who was born when Pangu created the world. The Star-Picking Hand is his most prized divine power. This Star-Picking Hand ranks among the top ten of all the divine powers since Pangu created the world." The yellow-haired bear also introduced the Three Longevity Daoist and the classification of gods and demons to Yunhua.

Generally speaking, gods and demons are divided into chaotic gods and demons, innate gods and demons, and ordinary gods and demons.

Chaos gods and demons are those born before the creation of heaven and earth. These gods and demons are born at the best time, possessing extremely strong power from birth.

Innate gods and demons are those born after the creation of the world, and they possess extremely strong innate power.

As for ordinary gods and demons, these are the gods and demons that were born in each of the three thousand worlds after the world split apart. These gods and demons are the weakest, with the vast majority possessing only innate strength upon birth, and a few able to ascend to various realms such as the Purple Mansion and Myriad Manifestations.

"With your cultivation level and the Star-Picking Hand, you're practically invincible at the Purple Mansion Realm. Even if you encounter a powerhouse at the Myriad Manifestations Realm, they're no match for you," said the blond bear.

"Star-Picking Hand!" Yun Hua transformed his palm into a blade and casually slashed out.

"Crack!!"

The void trembled slightly, and an extremely oppressive wave of energy instantly rolled out from his palm. A brilliant blade of light slashed out instantly, carrying a trace of the five elements flowing, and the blade's edge contained an extremely subtle black light.

This strike contained Yunhua's understanding of the Five Elements and the power of his sword that he had cultivated. Its power was terrifying, enough to split mountains and sever rivers.

"How about that? Unparalleled in power, right?" The yellow-haired bear looked at Yunhua, his voice tinged with pride.

Yunhua's previous performance had truly shocked Huangmao Daxiong, but now that he had used the Star-Picking Hand, Huangmao Daxiong was hoping that Yunhua would be stunned.

"Its power is indeed quite good, and it's a perfect match for me!" Yunhua nodded.

The core of the Star-Picking Hand technique lies in the Five Elements; even cultivating this supernatural power requires treasures containing the essence of the Five Elements.
