The power of the murderous tide was now more than ten tis weaker than before.
Yet even so, for ordinary Mahayana cultivators, entering it remained a gamble with death.
The red mist still devoured flesh and eroded mind.
The closer one moved toward the center of the Heavenly Water Mountains, the heavier the pressure beca.
Now, the vast central region had beco a forbidden land.
No one dared to approach casually.
Through the thin red haze, a faint cyan glow could be seen enveloping the forest at the very heart of the mountain range.
That brilliance ca from the Hibiscus Sacred Tree.
Her branches rose like erald pillars, her radiance forming a natural barrier.
She protected the valley within, isolating it from intruders.
Previously, Valerius and his subordinates had ventured deep to investigate.
They had encountered a space barrier within the region bathed in green light.
No matter how fiercely they attacked, the barrier did not waver.
Helpless, they had retreated.
Palace of the Four Cycles camp.
Within a secluded cave, Valerius suddenly opened his eyes.
Puff.
A mouthful of blood burst from his lips.
His aura weakened instantly.
"The blood contract technique has been broken."
His voice trembled.
"How is this possible."
His expression twisted with disbelief.
He raised his trembling palm.
The crimson contract lines that once marked his flesh had vanished completely.
"Impossible. Absolutely impossible. The thod to break a blood contract was lost long ago."
Rage surged through him.
Another mouthful of blood splattered onto the stone floor.
He closed his eyes and examined his body carefully.
The faint thread of connection between him and Lunara was gone.
After the collapse of the Training Trial Secret Realm, he had already sensed sothing was wrong.
The bond had grown chaotic and indistinct.
He could no longer pinpoint her location.
He had assud it was interference from so mysterious force deep within the Heavenly Water Mountains.
As long as the contract remained, Lunara would never escape him.
But now.
The last trace had vanished.
Completely severed.
Valerius' face distorted.
His fists clenched tightly.
His gaze turned toward the west.
Toward the forbidden center of the Heavenly Water Mountains.
"Damn woman. What opportunity did you obtain there."
"And Ethan. And Elara."
"You are hiding inside that barrier, not coming out."
"Very well."
He forced himself to calm down.
The backlash from the broken contract was severe.
He required at least three months to recover.
"Three months."
When he healed, he would lead his forces.
He would crush the Sky family's formation by force.
He would annihilate them all.
Let the world see the consequence of offending the Palace of the Four Cycles.
He closed his eyes and entered forced ditation.
...
Within the ruin.
Ethan slowly opened his eyes.
The astonishnt in his gaze gradually faded.
He did not know how much ti had passed.
Three days.
Perhaps five.
This was the first ti he had spent such a long period comprehending a single secret technique.
One Energy Transforms into the Three Pure Ones..
A secret thod of the highest order.
Throughout long history, such techniques were exceedingly rare.
Its grade was no lower than the Nine Emperors Dao Body.
According to the information contained within the scroll, this thod had also originated from an original stone tablet.
A peerless master had once observed that stone tablet and comprehended this secret art.
Its origin was the sa as the Nine Emperors Dao Body.
Yet the creator's na had been lost to history.
Only one figure was clearly connected to it.
Celestial Fiend.
According to the records, Celestial Fiend was the foremost emperor after the twilight of the gods era.
When he first stepped into the Supre Realm, he had discovered the One Energy Transforms into the Three Pure Ones in a forgotten ruin.
Relying on this thod and his unparalleled talent, he ascended to the Emperor Realm within a hundred years.
After another three hundred years of cultivation, he beca a Great Emperor.
As for whether he reached the legendary Immortal Emperor Realm, history was silent.
Ethan had learned all of this from the scroll itself.
The cultivation thod of One Energy Transforms into the Three Pure Ones was obscure and profound.
Its structure defied common sense.
Its mystery surpassed ordinary understanding.
Even Ethan, with his monstrous comprehension, required days rely to grasp its foundation.
The effect.
It was astonishing.
First.
Cultivating this thod generated a unique energy called pure energy.
Pure energy possessed neither offensive nor defensive nature.
Its sole attribute was purification.
Not simple cleansing.
True purification.
It could purify all forms of energy in the world.
Spiritual energy.
Demonic energy.
Heaven and earth energy.
After being refined by pure energy, these energies beca incomparably pure.
In such a state, cultivation speed increased dramatically.
Combat power rose accordingly.
Even without forming clones, this thod alone already granted imnse advantage.
But that was rely the foundation.
Upon complete mastery, three clones could be condensed.
Each clone possessed independent existence.
Their realm was identical to the original body.
Their will was governed by the original self.
When not required, they could be stored within the inner world.
However, the conditions were severe.
First, one must split one's own energy into three equal origins.
This step was perilous.
Failure ant severe backlash, possibly death.
These three origins were the hearts of the clones.
Next, heaven and earth energy must be absorbed to shape their bodies.
The structure followed the triad of heaven, earth, and mortal.
Three pure elents.
Three pillars of existence.
The heavenly clone required Heavenly Vein energy, the earthly clone required Earth Vein energy, the mortal clone required Mortal Vein energy.
Each must be condensed using essence and blood as foundation.
Then heaven and earth energy would grant spirit and vitality.
Ethan had initially assud that these three clones would differ in strength.
Heavenly superior.
Mortal inferior.
But within the scroll remained a final fragnt of divine consciousness left by Celestial Fiend.
That voice had spoken clearly.
The three clones are not divided into strong and weak ones.
