"I now admit that in some aspects, you are better than me. However, you must understand that the one who survives until the end is the true victor!" Calmly, Luo Xin looked at Feng Ye and spoke each word as if explaining a truth.
Hearing this, Ye Feng couldn't help but want to laugh. Winning through self-destruction ultimately leads to mutual destruction—no, mutual death. So, for this guy to claim he could survive until the end was nothing short of a joke.
"In my opinion, you are deceiving yourself. If everyone is dead, who can survive until the end? Does victory even matter?"
"Haha, haha! Feng Ye, do you still not see it? Do you really think I would die alongside you? Idiot! You are the real idiot!" Luo Xin couldn't help but burst into laughter again, leaving others baffled.
But Ye Feng suddenly sensed something strange! He furrowed his brows; it sounded like the other party believed he could survive even after self-destruction?
No! That was impossible! No one could survive after self-destruction! Not even as a cripple! Self-destruction meant unleashing all one's power in an explosion! The explosive force was immense because it condensed a martial artist's entire life force and terrifying explosive power!
Thus, self-destruction was a method of suicide that any martial artist would avoid. Unless faced with life-and-death situations, no one would choose self-destruction because it equated to suicide—there was simply no need!
However, Luo Xin's words made Ye Feng begin to doubt whether there truly existed someone who could survive after self-destruction.
Perhaps sensing Feng Ye's ultimate confusion, Luo Xin finally decided to stop holding back and said with a smile, "I said you were wrong—not just from the beginning but because you mistakenly believe I would use the most foolish method of self-destruction against you! Unfortunately, if it were necessary, perhaps that would be effective against you. But at this moment, I will not do that because you are not worth it. However, I must say that your strength has put me in the greatest crisis I've ever faced! Therefore, you have compelled me to choose my most powerful killing move!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Feng suddenly came to his senses! So this guy was preparing to unleash a finishing move! But then he couldn't understand; the Seven Transformations of Chaos Decision he had previously passed on through Dark Blade had definitely not been cleared away! So how could Luo Xin gather power to complete a killing move?
Any finishing move was merely a martial artist's ultimate Martial Technique! And releasing any Martial Technique required guidance from True Energy within; otherwise, even Ye Feng couldn't create something from nothing! This was an unchanging truth and rule for martial artists throughout history!
But how was Luo Xin breaking the rules?
"Are you curious how I can release my killing move even after you've sealed my meridians?" Luo Xin continued, instantly revealing Feng Ye's confusion!
"I truly don't understand how you did it..." Ye Feng said with a serious face, incredulous.
Seeing the change in the other person's expression, Luo Xin felt an overwhelming sense of pride. He wanted to see that helpless look on his opponent's face; it was like proclaiming his success and victory!
"I've said before that what distinguishes martial artists is their understanding of the path of martial arts. This path has many twists and turns; it's not just a straight road. Many branches appear along the way. Ordinary martial artists follow the rules so they can only remain mediocre. Even if they cultivate to a certain level, they always linger at a threshold where they cannot become true powerhouses! But I'm different!"
Luo Xin's aura became increasingly turbulent; the True Qi in the entire space surged violently as if it might explode at any moment. However, before that happened, there seemed to be some time left as Luo Xin spoke leisurely:
"I have discovered a different direction on this path. In fact, martial artists rely on powerful Secret Techniques, which almost all stem from Martial Techniques. The learning and usage of different Martial Techniques are also limited by the martial artist's realm. The stronger the martial artist, the more powerful Martial Techniques they can unleash; this is a universally acknowledged principle among martial artists!"
"Isn't that so?" Ye Feng expressed his doubt. To him, it seemed undeniably correct.
However, Luo Xin shook his head disdainfully and continued, "Generally speaking, that is indeed true, but in my view, it is fundamentally wrong!"
"Why?" Ye Feng frowned in confusion. He was increasingly unable to understand the other person's words.
Luo Xin then chuckled lightly, "The fact that you ask this proves that your understanding is not as far-reaching as mine. Although you are strong, nearly as strong as I am, the path you can take will ultimately not be longer than mine!"
Ye Feng wanted to mock him a bit; he had yet to see his true power. Why did Luo Xin say such things? If he hadn't been worried about exposing his identity and had fought with all his strength from the beginning, relying on Underworld General and Dual Deities Unification Slash, he felt he could easily defeat this guy in no time!
Of course, considering his current position, he held back from saying anything. At this moment, Luo Xin had already begun to elaborate further: "The foundation of a martial artist lies in absorbing Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy while accumulating True Qi, continuously refining their Meridians to achieve rebirth time and again. Each evolution makes them stronger; this is something everyone understands!"
"However, on the path of cultivation, almost all martial artists desire to possess some powerful Martial Techniques to showcase their strength. Indeed, Martial Techniques can fundamentally enhance a martial artist's combat power, but that is only temporary! By releasing True Energy from within to activate a Martial Technique means that the martial artist's true strength entirely depends on their Martial Technique! If the Martial Technique is mediocre, no matter how high their realm is, the strength they can display will still be average!"
"Exactly! So what?"
"Thus, martial artists with increasingly profound cultivation seek even more powerful Martial Techniques. However, they overlook one crucial point: a martial artist's true strength does not come from the Martial Techniques they learn! Because ultimately! Those Martial Techniques are merely created by predecessors or stronger individuals!"
"What’s wrong with that?" Ye Feng gradually realized that Luo Xin's understanding of what makes a martial artist strong was indeed somewhat unique. However, time was running out for him; he hoped the other person would finish speaking quickly!
Luo Xin seemed to sense that his buildup was about to culminate in an explosion of insight; he couldn't help but quicken his pace: "There’s nothing wrong! While Martial Techniques can maximize a martial artist's power utilization, they overlook the most important point: since Martial Techniques are created for stronger individuals by those individuals to maximize their power, why can't a martial artist create their own Martial Techniques? To put it simply, it's Self-Created Combat Technique!"
"Self-created Martial Technique? There's nothing much to say about that!" Although Ye Feng had never created a Martial Technique himself, he seemed to understand this principle. For instance, his Heavenly River Power was generated by activating various powers within him; Dual Deities Unification Slash was merely the best application of Heavenly River Power!
In this regard, Luo Xin truly possessed advanced potential!
His eyes were dazed yet shone with astonishing brilliance as he continued speaking: "Do you know how difficult it is to create what we call Self-Created Combat Technique? It is indeed very challenging and labor-intensive, which leads almost all martial artists to shy away from developing or contemplating it; they only think about the dregs left by predecessors. But I am different; I enjoy thinking about the powerful Secret Techniques of martial artists! Ultimately, I discovered that what we call Martial Techniques are merely derivatives of a martial artist's power!"
"This derivation is like what you see in my combat methods! My Protective Qi, my Judgment Hammer, including your Illusory Sword and so on! These are actually pure forms of Martial Techniques! Just for the sake of sounding better, we give them names; it's like going into battle without a name—having a name seems to give it more momentum and strength when shouted out. In reality, they are all the same!"
This statement enlightened Ye Feng; he felt as if he had gained new insights. Indeed, there was no need to chant incantations aloud to release Martial Techniques—except for some genuine spells like summoning techniques that require ancient incantations beyond a martial artist's capabilities. For example, his Soul Guiding Banner summons Underworld General and similar abilities!
More attack-oriented Martial Techniques can be completed silently! With this thought, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration, as if he understood how the Cold Ice Shatter that had previously severely injured him had come crashing down without a sound!
Luo Xin seemed to have guessed what he was thinking and couldn't help but smile, saying, "That's right, Cold Ice Shatter is my creation. I combined my own power with the guiding energy of the heavens to execute a surprise attack. The principle is similar, but you still haven't realized one thing!"
"What is it?"
"That is, the true strength of a martial artist comes from the martial artist themselves. The so-called Martial Techniques are all a form of evolution! Therefore, to unleash truly powerful strength, one only needs to understand the changes in their body and skillfully utilize True Energy! This is the true Secret Technique of a martial artist!"
"You mean that the martial artist themselves are the combat weapon, the most powerful Martial Technique?" Ye Feng seemed to grasp what he was trying to express but found it even harder to understand. After all, doesn't it still require using True Energy from within? How did Luo Xin counter his Seven Transformations of Chaos Decision?
"Just as you said! We martial artists ourselves are the strongest combat force! There are distinctions between strong and weak martial artists of the same realm! It lies in their understanding of themselves! The so-called understanding on the path of a martial artist is actually an understanding of oneself! And I have a greater understanding than you, which allows me to overcome the True Energy disorder you caused and still unleash even more powerful strength!"
Luo Xin finally got to the main point! However, he added, "But this does not mean that your influence on me no longer exists! Your energy is still circulating within me! I want to expel it, but there is great resistance! It requires time! But I don't have that time! So I plan to use my greatest reliance, which is my deepest understanding of my own path cultivated until now!"
"What is it?" Ye Feng couldn't help but clench his fists! He could foresee that after the next sentence from his opponent, a devastating blow would come!
"Hehe! The body of a martial artist is very complex! Unlike ordinary people, because we absorb the Spirit Energy of heaven and earth, our internal functions are completely different. Meridians, Dantian, mind, and even some ethereal things are all transformed by Spirit Energy. Your energy can only affect my Meridians and Dantian. The Meridians and Dantian are the most direct channels for a martial artist to exert force! However, don't forget that neither Meridians nor Dantian are places where we store power; they only occupy a small part used for movement during combat! There is one place that is fundamental for a martial artist; that place is the Warrior's Origin!"
