One Month Later.
From Susanoo's teachings, Kireina absorbed profound insights into his unique Cultivation and Martial Arts thod: the Heavenly Sword God Myriad Soul Blade Arts – Shinra Yaoyorozu.
It consisted of Seven Primary Forms. Once all seven were achieved and mastered, the technique could endlessly shift into countless shapes and variations.
After a full month of relentless training—swinging her sword in attempts to mirror his movents, now without any Skill to guide her—she had grasped these.
Mountain Slash: a devastating horizontal strike that cultivated the Physical Body's Durability.
Terrain Division: a relentless series of ten thrusting attacks that tore the ground apart before the user. It honed the Body's Senses and Precision.
Splitting Skies: a soaring rising slash that stretched impossibly far without losing force. It sharpened the Soul like a blade.
Storming Seas: a fierce combination of five downward slashes followed by five horizontal ones, conjuring the illusion of raging oceans that swept away and carved through enemies. It strengthened the Soul's Vitality and Essence.
Four Heavenly Cardinals: channeling the power of Heaven, Earth, and the Four Directions, unleashing four converging strikes, a slash, a stab, a downward cut, and a horizontal sweep. They shattered barriers, disrupted Auras and Consciousness Domains, and cultivated the Soul, Intent, and expanded Consciousness itself.
Star Cleaving Sword: fusing all prior lessons into a single, unstoppable rising vertical slash aid at targets that seed indestructible. It ignored defenses, shattered movents, and cleaved through divinities and elental concepts. It transford both Body and Soul into razor-sharp blades.
Myriad Celestial Blade: the ultimate Form. It summoned a storm by striking the skies—any "sky," not rely the literal one—disrupting the surroundings and forging a pseudo domain from raw world energy. Thunderbolts rained down, transforming into dozens of swords, each embodying an attack from the previous forms. This pinnacle cultivated everything that ca before.
Through this month of grueling training, Kireina had comprehended all Seven Forms but truly mastered only the first five. The transformations in her body were unmistakable. She grew steadily stronger, her Star Shattering Realm advancing to Four Stars.
While sparring and cultivating, she discovered the extraordinary synergy between these techniques and her own thods. Susanoo's teachings allowed her to link Martial Arts directly to her other Cultivation paths. Every clash beca an opportunity to grow stronger through combat itself.
Each exchanged blow drew in energies from Heaven and Earth, refining her Body and Soul in real ti.
This was the secret behind Susanoo's overwhelming might—the reason even Amaterasu hesitated to cross him, despite their disagreents.
As they fought using his own techniques, Susanoo laughed with genuine delight.
"It's incredible how quickly you absorb knowledge. You're like a sponge, soaking up everything in reach," he said, swinging his sword.
Kireina t it with her own. Both unleashed Mountain Slashes, followed by Storming Seas and Splitting Skies. Blinding surges of lightning erupted where their blades collided. Terrain Divisions clashed, shattering the ground into countless fragnts.
Boulders soared into the air as the world around them seed to slow.
Their eyes locked.
"Four Heavenly Cardinals!"
Their accumulated power condensed into four radiant attacks—red, yellow, green, and blue—each detonating with elental fury that fractured the skies and split the earth.
Through the smoke, Kireina stared at Susanoo. Her power surged as Heaven and Earth energies poured in, refining her entire being once more.
Her body felt honed to a lethal edge.
Susanoo descended at blinding speed. Kireina countered with a ferocious upward swing.
"Star Cleaving Sword!"
Susanoo mirrored the technique. Their strikes t in perfect unison, compressing every prior form into devastating force.
Reality warped and shattered. For an instant, they floated amid the cosmos, stars exploding around them one after another.
BOOOMMM!!!
The colossal blast engulfed them both. Starlight flas scorched their bodies as they plumted from the heavens, crashing into the devastated floating island.
"Not bad! Not bad at all!" Susanoo roared with laughter. "You're finally starting to grasp it! You've still got a month left—let's keep going!"
"Yes," Kireina replied firmly.
She refused to relent. She trained and fought as though her life hung in the balance, driven by obsessive determination toward the path she had chosen.
With each new Star she forged, the concept of Fate grew clearer. The Fate Attraction Force manifested around her. She had beco dense as a star, generating her own gravitational pull of destiny.
Another month slipped by.
"Star Cleaving Sword!"
The power of this Form grew exponentially with each refined Star.
At six stars, Kireina's strength beca overwhelming. Susanoo was formidable too, advancing his own Heart Path thod until he could almost match her.
Yet the gap was obvious. Kireina continued to learn and surpass.
It was absurdly one-sided.
BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!
Their swords collided in torrents of starlight, distorting reality until they found themselves once more in the void.
From that emptiness, storms of white clouds erupted. White and golden thunder descended.
Kireina had once believed this was re elental power.
She had been wrong.
These were Heavenly Tribulations summoned from the Plane of Fate.
Susanoo's Swordsmanship had reached such mastery that he could weaponize Fate's own judgnts!
Thus...
"Myriad Celestial Blades."
Kireina and Susanoo unleashed everything. Their thunderous swords clashed in endless fury. Each blade carried the essence of a prior form—Mountain Slashes, Storming Seas, Terrain Divisions, Splitting Skies, Four Heavenly Cardinals, Star Cleaving Swords—crashing without end.
This was what Kireina would call an "Ultimate Martial Art."
She felt eternal gratitude for learning it from Susanoo.
The intensity escalated until even the void began to fracture and tear apart.
BOOOM!
In an instant, a massive interdinsional explosion erupted. Their attacks ripped through the fabric of reality, hurling them into a Plane of Eternal White Clouds and Seas of Golden Essence.
The Plane of Soul!
They pressed forward, clashing into yet another realm.
The sky transford into pure white and yellow light.
A Plane of nothing but blinding radiance.
The Plane of Fate.
The light scorched their existences, demanding annihilation.
Yet with pure swordsmanship, they cleaved apart the boundaries between planes.
Until finally...
TRUUUM!
They crashed back into Susanoo's Heavenly Domain, slamming into the ground and shattering the entire floating island into countless fragnts.
BOOOM!
