Destined Martial God

"Star Plucking!"    

Facing the Yu Haoran who was the first to launch the attack, an identical Capricorn appeared in the self-mirror formed by the ninth lightning tribulation.    

Immediately after, he performed the same sword technique that he inherited from the Destiny Stone.    

"Boom!"    

As the two identical crescent sword Qis slammed into each other, a deafening roar resounded in the sky above the mountain range.    

Accompanied by a deafening sound, the crescent moon sword qi formed from the Star Seizer Sword Art that Mirror Image activated not only instantly shattered the crescent moon sword qi that was in collision, its sharpness did not weaken in the slightest as it continued to slash at Yu Haoran.    

"Break!"    

Immediately using all of his strength and using the Capricorn in his hand to cut out a sharp sword qi, directly shattering the crescent moon sword qi, Yu Haoran's face became gloomy.    

With the same strength, the same sword techniques, combined with the same Capricorn, the power of self-reflection in displaying the sword skill was close to thirty percent stronger than when he used the same sword skill.    

This meant that the other party's understanding of the use of his strength and battle techniques far surpassed his own.    

No wonder the Tower Spirit said that he was unable to deal with the Mirror Image of himself. It turned out that the other party's methods were so powerful and terrifying.    

However, after a probing exchange just now, he had also vaguely discovered a weakness of his self-reflection.    

As for whether the weakness he had just discovered was right or wrong, he still needed to verify it further.    

Thinking to this point, Yu Haoran quickly put away the Capricorn in his hand, and then immediately activated the Ancestral Shaman's transformation.    

"Punch the world!"    

Just when Yu Haoran transformed into a skyscraper, and used the fist technique inherited from the Ancestral Shaman, his self-reflection also quickly turned into a million metre tall Ancient Witch, and displayed the same fist technique inherited from the Ancestral Shaman.    

"Boom!"    

As the two gigantic mountains fiercely collided with each other, the mountains that Yu Haoran used his fist technique to condense were instantly smashed into pieces by the mountain that the other party had condensed. At the same time, under the effect of the rebound in power, the huge body was forced back three steps.    

The second probing attack, although similarly at an absolute disadvantage, not only did Yu Haoran not panic at all, instead, a hint of joy slowly surfaced in his eyes.    

He quickly dispersed the Ancestral Mage's transformation, took out a top-grade Emperor's Realm sword from his storage ring, and started to perform the sword technique taught by the Heaven Punishing Demon Lord.    

"Soul Kill!"    

"Soul Kill!"    

At the same time, he also quickly finished his self-mirror image of the Ancestral Shaman Transformation. A sword of the same level appeared in his hand, and he immediately performed the same sword technique.    

"Pfft!"    

The Absolute Soul Sword was a sword technique specifically aimed at the Sea of Consciousness and God Soul. For the Yu Haoran who was in an absolute disadvantage, in the end, his God Soul was injured by the Soul Slaying Sword Technique that he self-mirrored himself using, causing him to immediately spit out a mouthful of blood.    

He was injured!    

Seeing Yu Haoran's self-mirrored sword technique, and how he vomited blood after injuring his soul, regardless of whether it was the experts hidden in the air around the mountain range or the Zhi Zun and half-tribulation immortality experts, all of them revealed joyous expressions.    

After all, ever since the Divine Tribulation Lightning had begun, whether it was the attacks from the sky filled with lightning, the golden-armored Thunder God who represented punishment, or the four divine beasts that could transform into chaos energy, Yu Haoran had easily passed through them.    

This was also the main reason why the Zhi Zun and half-tribulation immortality experts in the endless space condensed their projections ahead of time. It was because they believed that Yu Haoran could pass through the Divine Tribulation Lightning easily.    

However, at the same time that everyone present felt pleasant surprise, a puzzled expression appeared in their eyes.    

Because of the injury to his soul, Yu Haoran, who had vomited blood, not only did he not display the slightest bit of panic, he even revealed a happy smile on his face.    

After quickly consuming the pellet that was used to heal his soul, Yu Haoran kept the top-grade Emperor's Realm and sword, then used the Clear Wind Steps that he cultivated while he was a Martial Disciple to quickly approach the self-mirror image that was thousands of meters away.    

As for the self-mirror image that had also dissipated the top grade Emperor's Realm, it also used the steps and martial skills of the Clear Wind Steps to quickly meet Yu Haoran.    

Clear Wind Steps, an ordinary low-grade yellow-rank footwork technique. It could at most increase one's speed by two to three times. Usually, only ordinary disciples from small clans or rogue cultivators without any foundation would be able to practice it.    

As a result, even self-reflection's usage of one's own strength and comprehension of martial skills had far surpassed Yu Haoran's. Under the limitations of the Light Wind Steps' rank, his speed wasn't that much faster than Yu Haoran's.    

"Bang!" Bang! "Bam!"    

After the true battle had ended, Yu Haoran did not take out any magic tools to unleash his Inherited Sword Technique, nor did he activate his Ancestral Lich's physical body to display his Inherited Fist Art. He only relied on his mid-stage War God's physique to execute the simplest of basic fist techniques, basic palm techniques, basic leg techniques, basic finger techniques, etc.    

The importance he placed on his basics in his previous life and this life not only allowed him to thoroughly grasp the essence of the basic martial skills, but his use of the basic martial skills had also reached the level of perfection.    

Therefore, by fighting intensely with him, Yu Haoran had completely changed the situation that he had always been at a disadvantage in. He had fought evenly with his opponent, and sometimes he could even hit his opponent's fatal points.    

However, if one were to rely only on the basics of martial skills, it would be impossible to thoroughly defeat and kill the mirror.    

Therefore, after Yu Haoran had exchanged basic martial skills and thoroughly familiarized himself with the style and methods of self-reflection, he began to gradually improve the grade of the martial skill he used.    

Of course, the prerequisite to raising the grade of a martial skill was that he had to grasp the essence of each martial skill. Moreover, he had to ensure that he wouldn't be at a disadvantage when facing off against his own mirror image.    

His past and present life experiences, as well as the inherited memories of the Ancestral Magi and Destiny Stone, allowed Yu Haoran to master tens of thousands of different ranked martial skills. If he could use all of them and master the essence of the martial skills, he might not be able to finish this battle within ten to eight years.    

In desperation, Yu Haoran continued to mirror himself and increase his understanding of martial skills, while transferring all of the martial skills and secret methods he knew into the sea of consciousness of his second clone and made them take responsibility of challenging the suitable martial skills for him to continue cultivating.    

After going through the analysis and discussion of the Tower Spirit and the two clones, and combining it with his own characteristics, he finally selected three parts of Fist Arts, three parts of Palm Techniques, three parts of Finger Techniques, three parts of Sword Techniques, and five parts of Secret Techniques to increase his strength.    

Even though the number of martial skills selected by the Tower Spirit and second clone weren't many, it still took Yu Haoran three days and three nights to completely master the essence of these martial skills.    

In other words, the last lightning tribulation that came with the Divine Tribulation Lightning lasted for a full three days and three nights. This was also why Yu Haoran had completely set a record that no one had ever passed through before and would never be able to pass through this tribulation in the future.
