Chapter 1818: Chapter 1812: Then I’ll Transform Again

"Nine Nether Sunset Art," the supreme secret technique of the Sunset Sect. As long as one comprehends the first level, their strength can be increased tenfold. This enhancement has almost no side effects, nor any time limit. The power consumed comes from the most mysterious and ethereal force of destiny, which does not harm the body and is virtually inexhaustible.

In the Sunset Sect, most people haven’t even comprehended the first level of the Nine Nether Sunset Art, because merely perceiving the existence of the force of destiny is a very challenging task, let alone utilizing it.

By moving this force of destiny according to the mental technique mantra of the Nine Nether Sunset Art, after undergoing a very complex application, one can grant the body extremely powerful strength, even unlocking the body’s limits.

Of course, this limit isn’t necessarily fixed at tenfold. For instance, if someone’s body is inherently frail, their enhancement might only be five or sixfold. After all, powerful strength requires a strong body to bear it; otherwise, this strength might harm oneself before harming others.

The upper limit of enhancement for the first level of the Nine Nether Sunset Art is tenfold.

Comparing the second level of the Nine Nether Sunset Art to the first is a significant leap. The force of destiny it controls isn’t limited to strength, speed, or energy enhancement; it can even temporarily fortify the martial artist’s body.

For example, the force of destiny condensed in this way will gather a layer of energy shield on the muscles, bones, and even cells, greatly enhancing resistance and endurance.

In this scenario, the force of destiny concentrated by the Sunset Art can result in a terrifying increase by up to a hundredfold!

A tenfold enhancement is already significant. Even the top secret techniques in many superpowers reach only this level. But the second level of the Nine Nether Sunset Art is overwhelmingly extraordinary.

Of course, its difficulty in research is similarly incredible. Throughout the Sunset Sect, those who have mastered the third level are extremely rare.

Legend has it, after comprehending the third level, the use of destiny’s force can transcend one’s bodily limits. In other words, the first and second levels still use the force of destiny as a means of enhancement, treating the body as a weapon.

However, in the third level, the mode of attack changes; the force of destiny is used directly as a weapon. This attack strength can reach several hundred to even a thousand times the ordinary state!

Back then, Brother Qi Congyun was only at the peak of Divine Cultivator level, while Vice Hall Master’s strength in the Divine Profound Hall was already at Dao Realm Eighth Grade or higher. The difference between the two wasn’t a thousandfold, but certainly several hundredfold!

And at that time, that mighty individual nearly killed a Vice Hall Master on the spot! And this was just from initially comprehending the third level in desperation, demonstrating just how overpowering the third level of the Nine Nether Sunset Art is.

With each level of "Nine Nether Sunset Art" mastered, the difficulty increases by hundreds and thousands of times, making it so that no one else has reached the third level yet.

Zhang Menglong’s Kaioken indeed can’t compare with this Nine Nether Sunset Art. Even at maximum power, Kaioken only offers a twentyfold increase. But in the eyes of this student council president, Cang Meng, it’s already quite daunting, as he believed only the Nine Nether Sunset Art could achieve such a standard.

"Has he learned the second level of the Nine Nether Sunset Art?" Cang Meng looked at Zhang Menglong with a solemn expression.

So far, he himself had only just begun to comprehend the first level of the Nine Nether Sunset Art. To him, the second level of the Nine Nether Sunset Art seemed an unattainable existence.

"No, this isn’t the Nine Nether Sunset Art!" Cang Meng muttered to himself.

The force of destiny is a very gentle power, and there wasn’t any trace of destiny force on Zhang Menglong. That red aura carried an extremely violent power; Cang Meng could even feel that if anyone slightly weak tried using it, they might collapse in a short time due to the violent power.

But what kind of secret technique is this? As far as he knew, there was no cultivation technique in the Sunset Sect with such a strong degree of amplification, nor even among other superpowers. Only the top-secret techniques of those super sects might possibly achieve such amplification.

"Is this kid so familiar with the Divine Profound Hall’s technique? Could this be the ultimate technique of the Divine Profound Hall?" Cang Meng couldn’t help but speculate.

"What is this technique of yours?" 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

"This technique is called ’Kaioken,’" Zhang Menglong replied. "Its maximum amplification can reach twentyfold, which shouldn’t be much less than your ’Nine Nether Sunset Art,’ right?"

"Indeed impressive, no wonder you were able to repel core disciples like Wan Ning by relying on your understanding of Divine Profound Hall techniques." Cang Meng could feel that Zhang Menglong’s current aura had reached around the fifth or even sixth grade of Divine Cultivator level.

Obviously, he had grasped the weaknesses of the Divine Profound Hall’s martial techniques, so even with quite a bit of strength disparity, he could still gain the upper hand when sparring with Wan Ning.

Except that he isn’t Wan Ning. Wan Ning’s life level foundation exceeds Cang Meng’s, but his Tianxuan Scripture amplification is only three or fourfold, while Cang Meng’s Nine Nether Sunset Art has reached seven or eight times, and in his current state, he’s even stronger compared to Wan Ning!

"Since you know how great I am, why don’t we just skip the fight? Just give me those eight hundred thousand contribution points, so as not to embarrass everyone and cause you to lose prestige among the outer sect disciples."

"Hahaha," Cang Meng laughed, "you truly are too arrogant. I admit, your ’Kaioken’ is indeed impressive, even more so than many seniors who’ve just understood the second level of the Nine Nether Sunset Art. If your current life level were at First-grade Divine Breath, I really wouldn’t be able to do anything to you today."

"But you’re only at Eighth Grade Divine Breath. Even with a twentyfold increase, you’re at your limit now. On what basis can you demand eight hundred thousand contribution points from me?"

"You do have a point," Zhang Menglong suddenly dispelled the Kaioken on him, "I’m indeed a bit of a distance from you right now, but how about now?"

Zhang Menglong clenched both fists tightly; his pupils instantly changed from black to sky blue, and his hair stood up straight, transforming into a brilliant gold, while his aura turned like golden flames.

"Fifty...fiftyfold increase?" Cang Meng’s eyes twitched violently. In that instant, Zhang Menglong’s aura nearly matched his!

"Do you think reaching such an aura allows you to fight me? Even with the same physical quality, you can’t be my opponent!" Cang Meng’s tone was no longer as assured as before when he said this.

"Is that so? Then let’s see if I can change again!" Zhang Menglong’s aura surged once more, his hair becoming even more erect, and faint currents of electricity wrapped around him.

"Eighty...eightyfold? This is impossible!"

"We’re not done yet!" Zhang Menglong shouted once more. This time, his hair began to grow longer, reaching down to his calves, his eyebrows disappeared, and the lightning on him became even more dazzling.

"One...one hundredfold?"
