Chapter 1114: The Fused Profundities
Translator: EndlessFantasy TranslationEditor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Duan Ling Tian was attempting to cultivate the Ninth Form of Nine Dragons War Sovereign Technique, the Divine Dragon Form.
He began by cultivating the Heaven Rank Advanced Defensive Martial Skill, the Nine Dragon's Barrier which was a part of the Divine Dragon Form!
Once the Nine Dragon's Barrier was cultivated to the peak, one could transform their energy into nine divine dragons and wrap them around oneself as a form of protection. It was an extremely powerful Defensive Martial Skill.
However, the current Duan Ling Tian had yet to cultivate this martial skill.
Even so, the Nine Dragons War Sovereign Technique's Ninth Form, Divine Dragon Form still shocked Duan Ling Tian!
Since Duan Ling Tian had broken through to the Martial Monarch Stage and began cultivating the Nine Dragons War Sovereign Technique's Ninth Form, Divine Dragon Form, he made a shocking discovery.
Originally, he could use his Wind Profundity to elevate his Fire Profundity. However, he discovered that his Fire Profundity could also similarly elevate his Water Profundity!
Fire Profundity elevating Water Profundity!
It sounded impossible!
Who in this world did not know that water inhibits fire and that water and fire were opposing elements?
However, Duan Ling Tian managed to elevate his Water Profundity through his Fire Profundity to the same level.
"Maybe it's because fire and water are two extremes. Fire at its extreme gives rise to water." This was the only plausible conclusion Duan Ling Tian could come up with.
This meant that Duan Ling Tian had comprehended Water Profundity, Sword Profundity, Wind Profundity, Earth Profundity, and Fire Profundity.
Five types of Profundities. Moreover, all of them were First Level Monarch Stage Profundities!
Although Duan Ling Tian's cultivation base was at the First Level Martial Monarch stage, he had mastered five Profundities. Even if they were merely at the First Level Monarch Stage Profundity, it was enough to shock everyone.
It would not be so shocking if this was the only surprise the Nine Dragons War Sovereign Technique's Ninth Form, Divine Dragon Form had in store for Duan Ling Tian.
However, Duan Ling Tian had also successfully comprehended his Thunder Profundity to the First Level Monarch Stage Thunder Profundity through the Thunder Profundity Fragment!
After he comprehended the Thunder Profundity, he discovered the Origin Energy in his body was emitting a mysterious power when he used the Divine Dragon Form's mental cultivation method to cultivate.
The Nature Profundities were the Wind Profundity, Fire Profundity, Thunder Profundity, Water Profundity, and Earth Profundity. These were the five Profundities Duan Ling Tian had comprehended.
Initially, Duan Ling Tian did not expect the mysterious power from the Divine Dragon Form to affect the five Nature Profundities.
Soon after, he was shocked when he discovered the five Nature Profundities had fused into one due to the mysterious power and turned into a completely new type of energy.
The energy was in the form of a Profundity, but it was different from an ordinary Profundity.
One might wonder why it was different.
It was because the new five-colored energy possessed an extremely terrifying strength!
Under normal circumstances, if he mobilized five First Level Monarch Stage Nature Profundities, the strength would be equivalent to the strength of one ancient black dragon and 2,000 ancient horned dragons.
Put aside the Earth Profundity's ability to draw support from Earth Energy or the Wind Profundity's ability to fuel and amplify the Fire Profundity, five First Level Monarch Stage Nature Profundities were equivalent to the strength of 10,000 ancient horned dragons or one ancient black dragon!
Even with the boost from the Earth Energy and the Wind Profundity fueling the Fire Profundity, it was equivalent to the strength of one ancient black dragon and 2,000 ancient horned dragons.
Due to that, the scene when he experimented with fusing five Nature Profundities together was still fresh in his mind.
After Duan Ling Tian fused the Profundities together, he could clearly remember the scene where he gathered the Heaven and Earth Energy to form the Heaven and Earth Phenomenon. There were two ancient black dragons' silhouettes.
Two ancient black dragons!
There was an additional 8,000 ancient horned dragons' strength compared to when he routinely exerted five First Level Monarch Stage Nature Profundities!
Eventually, Duan Ling Tian discovered the five First Level Monarch Stage Nature Profundities did not separate after they were fused together and had transformed into a new energy instead.
Currently, he could not mobilize a single Nature Profundity, he could only mobilize the fused Nature Profundities. En, it could also be considered as a Profundity.
A new Profundity!
"No matter what it is… It's definitely beneficial to me." A smile appeared on Duan Ling Tian's face.
Initially, Duan Ling Tian was only momentarily happy before he fell deep in thoughts. The new Profundity was indeed strong, but how quickly could he comprehend and improve it?
Although the five Nature Profundities were not as strong as the new Profundity, he could quickly comprehend and improve them through the corresponding Profundity Fragments.
Duan Ling Tian was quite concerned about this matter.
He only heaved a sigh of relief after he discovered he could comprehend and improve the new Profundity through any type of Nature Profundities he had comprehended.
In fact, he realized he could comprehend and improve the new Profundity even faster if he held three different Nature Profundity Fragments in his hands. For example, when he held the Wind Profundity Fragment, Thunder Profundity Fragment, and Earth Profundity Fragment!
"The only thing I'm uncertain about now is the improvement of the new Profundity... It would be amazing if it's like an Emperor Stage Profundity!" Duan Ling Tian daydreamed.
Emperor Stage Profundity.
The First Level was equivalent to two ancient black dragons' strength.
The Second Level was equivalent to three ancient black dragons' strength.
Ninth Level Emperor Stage Profundity was equivalent to ten ancient black dragons' strength!
If the new Fused Profundity Duan Ling Tian had comprehended could rise to the Emperor Stage Profundity, would that not mean he had mastered an Emperor Stage Profundity at the Martial Monarch Stage.
What did it mean for a Martial Monarch to master an Emperor Stage Profundity?
The Fused Profundity was equivalent to two ancient black dragons' strength, and it was much stronger than ordinary Ninth Level Monarch Stage Profundities.
Ordinary Ninth Level Monarch Stage Profundities were only equivalent to one ancient black dragon's strength.
Currently, Duan Ling Tian's Fused Profundity was equivalent to two ordinary Ninth Level Monarch Stage Profundities. That was equivalent to the strength of two ancient black dragons!
A First Level Martial Monarch Stage martial artist who mastered two Ninth Level Monarch Stage Profundities?
Who would believe it?
"Moreover, apart from the Fused Profundity, I've also comprehended the First Level Monarch Stage Sword Profundity!" Duan Ling Tian muttered in a low voice as his eyes gleamed.
"First Level Monarch Stage Sword Profundity is equivalent to 2,000 ancient horned dragons' strength… Additionally, First Level Martial Monarch Stage Origin Energy is equivalent to 2,000 ancient horned dragons' strength, and the Quasi Royal Grade Spirit Sword gives an additional onefold increase."
"If I unleash my full strength now, my strength is equivalent to the strength of two ancient black dragons and 6,000 ancient horned dragons!" Duan Ling Tian muttered to himself as the smile on his face widened.
"Ordinary Sixth Level Martial Monarch Stage martial artists have strength equivalent to 8,000 ancient horned dragons' strength if they fully exert their Origin Energy!"
"With the addition of a grade one spirit weapon, it would increase his strength by 88%. That means it would give an additional 7,000 ancient horned dragons' strength!"
"Let's say he has comprehended a Sixth Level Monarch Stage Profundity and two First Level Monarch Stage Profundities… All three Profundities would be equivalent to 11,000 ancient horned dragons' strength or the strength of one ancient black dragon and 1,000 ancient horned dragons."
"All in all, his strength would be equivalent to the strength of two ancient black dragons and 6,000 ancient horned dragons!"
"That's about the same as my current strength!" Duan Ling Tian had a clearer understanding of his current strength.
"However, I'm confident I'll be able to kill a Sixth Level Martial Monarch Stage martial artist if I meet one!" Ruthlessness flickered in Duan Ling Tian's eyes. He did not know when, but nine swords appeared around his body. All nine swords were hovering around his body and exuded killing intent.
Suddenly, Duan Ling Tian called out, "Nine-Tribulation Sword Control Technique!"
The nine swords hovering around his body shot out instantly and transformed into nine streaks of fast-moving lights.
The speed was so fast that an average person would not be able to see it at all.
"Nine Dragons' Radiant Flash!" Duan Ling Tian called out without pause.
Instantly, each of the nine streaks of fast-moving light that flew out transformed into nine divine dragons. There were 81 divine dragons in total.
As the 81 pairs of divine dragons' eyes blinked, one hundred and sixty-two extremely radiant beams of light shot out and disappeared in the horizon.
The speed was so fast that even Duan Ling Tian only managed to capture a trace of it.
"The Perfection Stage Nine Tribulation Sword Control Technique and the Perfection Stage Nine Dragons' Radiant Flash… I'll be victorious if I use both of them together!" Within the time Duan Ling Tian took to raise his arm, the nine swords that flew out returned and merged into one again before it fell gently into Duan Ling Tian's hands.
It was Duan Ling Tian's Quasi Royal Grade Spirit Sword that was inscribed with the magical Split-Unite Formation.
"This Split-Unite Formation is not illusory. It doesn't feel like it's from Cloud Continent… I don't even know where the Tempest Sword Monarch obtained it from." The more Duan Ling Tian learned about the Split-Unite Formation, the more he felt it was extraordinary.
It could divide an actual object into nine, and it was not just images. It completely defied logic.
Soon, Duan Ling Tian's attention shifted.
"Now, my Spiritual Energy has increased in accordance with my cultivation base's improvement to the First Level Martial Monarch Stage… It's enough to simultaneously control nine swords! I've officially entered the Perfection Stage of the Nine Tribulation Sword Control Technique."
