Chapter 916: The Power of An Emperor-level Secret Method


Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem

The Purgatory Samsara Method was a top-secret method, which was pushed by the chakra of the major secret skill that the knight was cultivating .

Due to the difference in the level of cultivation methods, the Purgatory Samsara Method had different effects . From a certain perspective, Purgatory Samsara Method was completely a powerful auxiliary secret skill, which also verified an early speculation of Zhang Tie——In the far-ancient times, humans had various auxiliary equipment and methods to accelerate the formation of their chakras .

As the secret methods for fighters to promote to knights were classified into 7 levels, the effects of the Purgatory Samsara Method were also classified into 7 levels .

There were 50 universal laws while 49 of which were derivatives, the rest one fit humans . 7 multiplied by 7 was 49, which was the necessary condition for forming seven-strength fruits . Nevertheless, the base of Purgatory Samsara was 7 . It seemed that there was a mysterious connection between the Purgatory Samsara and the seven-strength fruits . They might follow universal laws .

Being pushed by a baron-level chakra, the Purgatory Samsara could help the knight absorb 1/7 of the elements of the opponent's chakra .

Being pushed by a viscount-level chakra, the Purgatory Samsara could help the knight absorb 3/7 of the elements of the opponent's chakra .

Being pushed by a count-level chakra, the Purgatory Samsara could help the knight absorb 4/7 of the elements of the opponent's chakra .

Being pushed by a marquis-level chakra, the Purgatory Samsara could help the knight absorb 5/7 of the elements of the opponent's chakra .

Being pushed by a prince-level chakra, the Purgatory Samsara could help the knight absorb 6/7 of the element of the opponent's chakra .

Being pushed by an emperor-level chakra, the Purgatory Samsara could help the knight absorb all the elements of the opponent's chakra .

Zhao Yuan thought that Zhang Tie was cultivating a viscount-level "Five-elements Ground-look Sutra"; actually, Zhang Tie was cultivating an emperor-level "King Roc Sutra" . Therefore, as for Zhang Tie, it was the "King Roc Sutra" that pushed the Purgatory Samsara . With the terrifying power of an emperor-level secret method, all the earth elements in the earth chakra of that ox-head demon knight which had not been formed were absorbed by Zhang Tie .



When Zhang Tie was rapidly digesting this achievement, the dragon scales on the knight's crystal plate of Cui Li were lit one after another . . .

The 31st, the 32nd, the 33rd, the 34th, the 35th, the 36th . . .

When the 36th dragon scale was lit, an unexpected change occurred . . .

A golden feather-shaped seed rune of "King Roc Sutra" flew out of the center of the chakra in Zhang Tie's chest . Hovering above Zhang Tie's head, it started to radiate brilliant luster . Zhang Tie then slowly rose up cross-legged and hovered in the air in the cultivation room . . .

This seed rune was a bit different than the former seed rune of the "King Roc Sutra" before he formed the chakra . Under the golden light of the seed rune, all of Zhang Tie's surging points started to resonate and radiate luster together with his qi sea . The runes flew out of the surging points and flew around Zhang Tie like almost 1,000 golden fireflies . . .

After that, Zhang Tie released his battle qi from all of his surging points . Closely after that, the spiritual energy in his mind sea spilled out of his forehead . Four elements in the elements realm then appeared out of nowhere and poured into those firefly-shaped runes, making them more brilliant . The battle qi then intertwined with those mysterious runes and gradually formed a golden, huge shell being covered with mysterious grains around Zhang Tie . . .

The entire cultivation room became quiet at once, except the mysterious lusters which flashed by the surface of that huge egg floating in the air from time to time . . .

. . .

After over 10 hours, with a muffled thunder in the huge egg, more cracks started to appear on the surface of the huge egg as if something was going to be hatched . Finally, with a thunder, the mysterious eggshell was completely shattered while releasing numerous golden light spots, causing a brilliant, golden light rain in the entire cultivation room in a split second . . .

. . .

Zhang Tie opened his eyes while being cross-legged in the air . The moment he put down his feet, he had stood on the ground with a confused look . . .



Zhang Tie didn't know what happened just now at all .

About 3-5% of the total earth elements of the demon knight had not been absorbed .

Zhang Tie felt that he had lit another 5-6 dragon scales . At that moment, Zhang Tie was in ecstasy . All of a sudden, he felt that the first and the second chakra which had not been formed rocked at the same time while releasing a strong luster, sending Zhang Tie into an absolute, empty chaotic state physically and mentally . . .

Zhang Tie didn't know what happened to him just now . He just felt being in an empty, chaotic state while all of his surging points were exchanging energy with something else . It seemed that he had opened one deeper level of his surging points .

After that . . .

He didn't know how long had passed when all the surging points rocked . Closely after that, a thunder occurred in the chaos along with a light . Then, the sky and the ground were divided while everything became clearer . Zhang Tie finally woke up .

He found that he was floating in the air .

After sensing his body, Zhang Tie widely opened his mouth . He felt wholly new as this body was utterly different than that before he entered the cultivation room .

Zhang Tie attempted to make some movements and control his battle qi but he felt evidently different than before .

He could feel an overall increase of 10% in the capacity and power of battle qi, physical strength, reaction speed, defensive and anti-strike ability, even the surging spiritual energy in his mind sea .

It meant that his battle strength had increased by 10%, which was a new stage and progress for a knight; especially the incremental part of spiritual energy was even much more than the total spiritual energy of a common black iron knight .

After taking a free walk in the cultivation room, Zhang Tie felt so light that he almost floated in the air .

'Why?'

Zhang Tie was both shocked and confused .

Before he fully accepted the surprise brought by the Purgatory Samsara Method pushed by the "King Roc Sutra", Zhang Tie welcomed another surprise .

All of a sudden, something occurred to Zhang Tie's mind . Zhang Tie took out the Cui Li's crystal plate and found 36 dragon scales had been lit .

'36 scales were 1/10 of the total 360 scales required to form a chakra . '

'Does it mean that the sudden change just now was caused by the "King Roc Sutra" after forming 1/10 of the earth chakra?'

'Wait, 36 scales . . . '

Something occurred to Zhang Tie's mind once again .

A few years ago, when Zhang Tie had promoted to a knight in Waii Subcontinent and received the knight's crystal plate, he thought that the power of black iron knights was divided by the number of scales that they had lit . Later on, as he deepened his understanding of knights, he knew more secrets about them .

The scale was the most objective unit of measurement that represented the cultivation base and progress of a knight . However, in the knights' world, especially in Taixia Country, the center of the human world, each knights' level was further divided into ranks . It was too general to regard 360 scales as a realm . If each scale was taken as a realm, it was too sophisticated, which sometimes could not reflect the genuine battle strength of knights who cultivated different secret methods . Therefore, they needed a more objective and easier division standard to measure ranks .

Actually, each level of the knights, black iron knight, earth knight, even shadow or heavenly knight could be divided into 9 small ranks, which were called "changes", 36 scales were called 1 change; 360 scales were called 10 changes . After 9 changes, when one lit 36 more scales, one would completely form a new chakra and promote to the next level of the knight .

Take black iron knight as an instance, the progress from 0 to 35 scales was the consolidation period .

When one lit 36-71 scales, one was called 1 change black iron knight .

When one lit 72-107 scales, one was called 2 changes black iron knight .

. . .

When one lit 324-359 scales, one was called 9 changes black iron knight, which was also called great perfection stage of a black iron knight and was the last stage for a black iron knight to promote to a higher level .

After lighting the 360th scale, of course, the black iron knight would advance to the next level as he had formed a new chakra .

'36 scales, I've just lit 36 scales . . . '

'Change——wasn't I "changing" just now?'

Being shocked immediately, Zhang Tie figured out something at once, 'Is the standard of "change" based on the emperor-level classic?'

According to the viscount-level classic "Five-elements Ground-look Sutra", Zhang Tie remembered that after lighting each 1/4 of a chakra, one would gain a chance to strengthen one's five-elements battle qi; it was also mentioned in the marquis-level classic "Fire Dragon Sutra" that, after lighting each 1/6 of a chakra, one would gain a chance to strengthen one's overall strength . '1/4 of a chakra match 90 scales while 1/6 of a chakra match 60 scales; however, I could strengthen my battle strength only after lighting 36 scales . Does it mean that one could strength one's overall strength 10 times if one cultivates an emperor-level secret method? Additionally, do people strengthen their overall strength at different times due to different levels of secret methods?'

Take viscount-level secret methods as an instance, only after one promoted to 2 changes black iron knight could one strengthen one's overall strength . Similarly, those who cultivated baron-level secret methods could only gain 3 chances to strengthen their overall strength at each level . . .

. . .

After throwing a glance at the clock hanging on the wall of the cultivation room, Zhang Tie found that one day had passed . It was already 6 pm . After remembering that he had to meet Gong Ziyao and Zhou Shufan in the Iron-blood Tower two hours later, Zhang Tie recovered his composure for a short while before leaving his knight's tower . . .
