Supreme Martial Arts: Unlock Boundless Power!

Chapter 116

The silver light of the accumulated snow illuminated the world, turning the entire forest into a relief on white jade. Zhou Yi stood silently in the snowy clearing, confronted by the seemingly unearthly destructive force before him. He couldn't help but be overwhelmed with mixed emotions.

Ever since he cultivated his internal energy, the most powerful move he had unleashed undoubtedly happened during the encounter with the Golden Crown Python. All his hidden potential had erupted, releasing an unparalleled and astonishing strike at the pinnacle of the acquired realm.

However, since that moment, he had never been able to replicate a similar display of immense power. Even after mastering the Five Elements technique, he still couldn't execute the move. Every time, he could only accumulate a large portion of power but failed to unleash its full potential in an instant.

Unexpectedly, today, after completing the forging of the Great Guandao and successfully incorporating the essence of the Soft Palm into his broadswordsmanship amidst the snowy weather, he inexplicably managed to execute that earth-shattering move once again.

In that instant, his meridians seemed to have become able to withstand the immense impact of the move. The circulation of the Five Elements flowed seamlessly, and the latent potential of the cyclical generation was thoroughly awakened.

The might of this strike seemed even more formidable than in the past, and most importantly, after executing it, Zhou Yi did not faint due to depleted energy. Though he felt extreme fatigue and his true energy was greatly consumed in an instant, within a breath, a massive surge of energy rushed into his body, replenishing his depleted reserves.

Of course, the speed at which true energy flowed in couldn't compare to the consumption of that move. At this moment, the true energy in his body only allowed him to move freely, but if he were to attempt the same move again, it would be impossible within a short period of time.

He calmed his mind and sat down beside the terrifying twenty-meter-long straight line. His brows furrowed as he recalled.

The strike from the past had unleashed his entire internal energy without reservation, causing such immense power during the acquired realm that it killed the Golden Crown Python in a single blow.

Although the current strike possessed the same power, he was now in the innate realm. It was unusual that the ultimate move's power was nearly the same between the innate and acquired realms. It seemed that there was still a long path to tread if he truly wanted to recreate the power of the past, where he could instantly unleash all his true energy.

In an instant, the withered wood technique within his body reached its limit. The speed at which the surrounding heaven and earth qi surged into him suddenly increased, far surpassing the capacity of automatic absorption.

An entire hour passed before Zhou Yi stood up once again. With a light leap on his toes, the heavy Great Guandao flew into his hands. He then wielded the great blade, executing each move of the Thirty-Six Forms of Mountain-Crushing. with simplicity and grace.

This time, he was not utilizing the techniques of the Soft Palm but rather his signature skill, the Thirty-Six Forms of Mountain-Crushing..

However, it was apparent that Zhou Yi was not employing the Five Elements technique. Instead, he relied purely on the foundational power of the Metal element, pushing the inherent combat technique to its maximum potential under normal circumstances.

Thirty-Six Forms of Mountain-Crushing were an innate combat technique of the Metal element. All the techniques were straightforward and forceful, emphasizing wide and expansive movements. The only difference from ordinary combat techniques lay in the unique path of energy circulation, which allowed him to fully unleash the power of his true energy.
