"Sometimes, learning to forget is to make you focus …" the ancient voice mumbled softly with a sentimental tone unique to it.
The ancient voice echoed in Su Ming's mind. Each word and sentence caused Su Ming's heart to roar once he heard it. He seemed to have understood something, but when he thought about it carefully, he found that he could not figure it out.
As he charged forward and turned into a long arc, Su Ming closed his eyes and focused all of his consciousness on his heart, not letting it spread out. As he listened to the ancient voice's words, he gradually and intentionally forgot everything. He forgot that he had turned into a long arc and was about to throw a punch at the incoming Ancient God.
All of this sounded simple, but in truth, it was incredibly difficult to do. In just a few breaths, a loud bang that shook the sky and earth reverberated in the universe.
A shudder ran through Su Ming's body. When he opened his eyes, he saw his body crumbling to pieces and his soul leaving. He also saw the Ancient God with the seven stars at the center of his brows fall back. His right arm crumbled, along with a small portion of his body that was connected to it.
"Your heart is not calm. Your forgetfulness is not complete. Your will and soul have not fused together … Do you want to try again?" As the area around him fell silent, the ancient voice echoed in the air.
"One more time!" Determination appeared in Su Ming's eyes. At the instant he spoke, time flowed in reverse again and returned to the moment before. Su Ming moved and immediately turned into a long arc. As he charged forward, he closed his eyes and forgot about everything else. Only his fist was the only thing that held his will.
Boom!
A loud bang that shook the sky rang out again. This time, Su Ming's body still shattered, but the Ancient God with seven stars had his right arm shattered as he fell back. In fact, a large number of cracks appeared on half of his body. As he moved back, his body became a bloody mess and shattered.
However, his huge body and powerful life force allowed the Ancient God to not die even though he was heavily injured. Instead, when he moved back, disbelief appeared on his face.
"It's still not enough. Perhaps … you are not suited to do all of this. You will never learn to forget …" The ancient voice sighed softly. When it echoed in the air, Su Ming fell silent for a moment.
"One more time!"
"This is the last time. If you can shatter this Ancient God with one strike, then I will continue helping you adjust the rebound. If you cannot, you will be sent out of Dao Ocean." When the ancient voice spoke, the world before Su Ming's eyes flowed in reverse, and he returned to the past.
This time, Su Ming did not turn into a long arc and rush out. At the instant the huge fist from the Ancient God with seven stars closed in on him, he sat down cross-legged. When he lifted his right hand, the galaxy in front of him distorted, as if a picture was formed.
With his will as his ink and his mind as his brush, he forgot everything around him. He gathered all his thoughts on the picture before him and forgot himself. He did not need to close his eyes, but everything in Su Ming's world had disappeared.
This was a Realm he had reached in the past. It was an Art that allowed him to calm down. Su Ming could not learn the method taught by the voice in Dao Ocean too deeply, but if he only needed to forget everything about himself, he could use another method to do so.
Calm the mind, concentrate on the spirit, fuse as one, and forget everything about oneself. This is concentration!
This concentration could gather all the power in a person's body into one spot. When it erupted, not a single bit of it would spread outwards. It was just like drawing. If he did not have concentration and his mind was not calm, he would not be able to form a painting.
At that moment, Su Ming could not see the incoming Ancient God's punch, and neither could he hear the faint gasp of surprise from the ancient voice in his heart. He forgot everything and immersed himself in the picture. At the instant the Ancient God's punch came crashing down, he raised his right hand and drew a line in the air with his index finger.
One line was like a hook, and the next was like a rainbow …
That one line crashed into the incoming Ancient God's punch in the air.
Booming sounds reverberated through the entire galaxy. Su Ming's fingertip shattered. His finger, his arm, his body, and even the picture shattered at that moment.
However, at that moment, the Seven-star Ancient God did not retreat. Instead, his gigantic fist turned into dust, along with his arm and body. Only his head was left, and it was sent flying. Even though he was not dead, the shock that was revealed on his face had shocked his soul. He was unable to imagine how his opponent, who was already having a hard time fighting against the black-robed man … could cause his gigantic body to collapse with just a casual wave of his hand. Even though the price he had to pay was the complete destruction of his opponent, to him, this was still unbelievable.
"This method is pretty good. It can allow you to gather eight-tenths of your power. Besides those who have reached the Death Realm, there is no one in the world who can gather all of their power into one spot without it spreading outwards.
"The fact that you managed to gather eight-tenths of your power has already surpassed my expectations. Now, I will tell you how to understand the power of rebound.
"Based on my research of the Ancient God's body before you, the power of rebound is a form of resistance, but also a form of neutralization. It's just like how if you throw a stone into the surface of water, you will stir up circles of ripples.
"If you can gather all of your power together, you will not see any ripples, but in truth, there will still be a power that can stop you." When you gathered all of your power together and did not spread outwards, you turned your power into a sharp point!
"As for rebound, it is a third type of power that is created when the power you throw out crashes into the power that can stop you!
"This is a form of use of power. It's not too complicated. They say that it's the essence of power, but that's because the cultivators in the other worlds don't understand it, so they just make it sound mysterious. In my memories, this form of use of power is just basic knowledge …" As the ancient voice echoed in the air, the area around Su Ming immediately started flowing in reverse again. He returned to how it was before, and the Ancient God's fist came charging towards him with a loud bang.
"This time, don't choose to forget everything. Instead, think of yourself as a mountain, while the other party is just a slightly stronger mortal. If you use the power of a mortal to push the mountain, the more he uses, the less he will be affected by the backlash.
"This is the Essence of Tremors that the cultivators in the other worlds speak of. However, in terms of difficulty, you will need to perform several rebound attacks. As for the number of rebound attacks, it doesn't mean that nine is the limit. It's said that nine is the limit because the cultivators in the other worlds don't understand it … In truth, there is a fourth form of use of power, and it's called borrowing power to fight back."
Su Ming could not understand the words spoken by the ancient voice. He had a vague feeling that the other party's words were very logical, but he was at a loss and had no idea what to make of it.
The ancient voice sighed softly.
"Oh well, watch carefully." When the voice spoke, Su Ming shuddered. He sensed a will descend on his body and instantly snatched away his control, making him feel as if he had become a third party. He could clearly sense everything about his body. He might not be able to control it, but he could see it even more clearly.
Soon after, Su Ming saw the will descending on him control the body to take a step forward and charge towards the Ancient God's fist coming from the sky. Once it closed in on him, the body turned around. With his back facing the Ancient God's fist, he lifted his right hand and struck his chest.
"A person's back is the heaviest part of their body. This is where they can withstand the most blows. Due to its heaviest part, the rebound is even more obvious. Watch carefully." The voice echoed in Su Ming's mind.
When the palm landed, the Ancient God's fist struck his back. It was as if both parties had thrown a punch at each other with the body between them!
Su Ming could clearly see a destructive power ramming into the body, but at that moment, the destructive power brought by the Ancient God's punch also rushed into the body. The two waves of power crashed into each other and tumbled backwards from the body, causing the right hand of the body controlled by the will to bounce off its chest. The Ancient God behind it shuddered and staggered a few steps back. He coughed up a mouthful of blood, and his right arm shattered.
The strange thing was that the internal structure of the body was not too damaged. It was just a little shaky.
"Do you understand now? When two waves of power crash into each other, they might not shatter into pieces. There is a possibility that they will dissolve each other and move backwards. This is called trembling.
As for the continuous trembling, it's easy to explain. Watch carefully. " When the ancient voice echoed in the air, Su Ming saw the body controlled by the will turn around and take a step towards the huge Ancient God. The Ancient God with seven stars roared furiously. There was shock on his face, and he threw a punch with his left hand.
However, at the instant it landed in front of the body controlled by the will, Su Ming saw the body move back, as if it was moving back along with the punch. Since its speed was the same as the speed of the punch, it did not suffer too much damage. Once the Ancient God's punch was thrown forward and its strength was exhausted, the body moved back swiftly, as if it had borrowed its strength to land a palm strike on the Ancient God's fist.
Boom!
The Ancient God shuddered and moved back. His left arm was completely shattered, and madness appeared on his face. At the instant he moved back, he opened his mouth wide and threw his head back to let out a roar that shook the entire galaxy at Su Ming.
At the same time, one of the planets at the center of the Ancient God's brows shattered, followed by another. Only when four planets shattered did it stop. The remaining three planets were incredibly dull, but when the roar that came with four planets shattered, the galaxy crumbled, the universe shattered, and quite a number of the countless cultivators underneath were crushed by the tremors.
Even Su Ming's body fell back and crumbled under the Ancient God's roar.
"The Ancient Gods are a kind of strange existence. I can decipher their power, but … it's difficult for me to thoroughly study their Innate Divine Powers in a short period of time. However, as I continue to study them, why do I always feel a sense of familiarity … It's as if someone I'm familiar with created … the Ancient God Clan!"
I've been writing since the third chapter until now, and I've practically had to rest after writing for a short while. I've also taken half a pill to treat dizziness every single time I finished writing a chapter. I won't lie, and there's no need for me to deceive all of you. I just want all of you to understand that the amount of time and effort I've put into writing the third chapter now is the amount of time and effort I put into writing the fourth or even the fifth chapter in the past.
Tomorrow, I will continue writing the third chapter! I beg for a guaranteed monthly vote! (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to Qidian.Com to vote for me. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
