Chapter 1574: Chapter 43: Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Skill Perfection
On Chaosheng Cliff.
As the third drawing unfolded before Jiang Ning’s eyes.
[Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Skill Experience Value +199]
[Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Skill Experience Value +199]
[Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Skill Experience Value +199]
[...]
Line after line of prompts floated before him.
With each prompt that appeared, the Experience Value of the Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Skill surged upward.
At the same time.
Waves of soul-seizing aura erupted from within Jiang Ning, and the air around seemed to solidify.
Chen Canghai’s face grew grim.
A moment later.
Jiang Ning slowly opened his eyes.
Chen Canghai immediately looked over.
Their gazes met.
He felt as if there were two vortices in Jiang Ning’s eyes, vortices that devoured everything.
In that brief trance, they were like two black holes.
The next instant.
He snapped back to himself, a lingering chill in his heart, and there was a new hint of wariness in the way he looked at Jiang Ning.
As someone who had reached Great Success in the Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Skill, he knew very well what this meant.
It meant Jiang Ning had gained a profound understanding of the ultimate profundity of the third drawing of the Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Skill—Whale Swallowing Heaven and Earth.
And this was something he had failed to fully comprehend for decades.
Even after he stepped into the Unity Realm, he still hadn’t grasped it.
And he had never doubted his own talent and potential in being able to reach the Unity Realm.
Yet someone like him, after spending several decades, still couldn’t penetrate this layer.
Jiang Ning, however, had reached a realm he had never set foot in, in less than an hour.
"Is the gap between people really this huge?"
For a moment, he felt somewhat lost inside.
At this moment, the divine light in Jiang Ning’s eyes withdrew. With a single thought, he looked at the panel.
[Skill]: Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Skill (small success 1877/5000)
"The efficiency really is different!"
"For the current me, even absolute techniques are easy to get started with. Even reaching small success, Great Success, or even Perfection is no longer difficult!"
Looking at the progress on his panel, Jiang Ning was filled with emotion.
Once, absolute techniques had already ceased to pose any difficulty for him.
See it and you understand, learn it and you master it, master it and you refine it.
Such efficiency was beyond what ordinary Martial Artists could comprehend.
By now, several absolute techniques had already gathered on his body.
"At small success, I’ve already grasped the power of Black Flood Dragon Flipping River!" he murmured inwardly.
The next moment.
His gaze sharpened.
He stepped forward, and the aura around him changed abruptly. An invisible pressure spread outward.
Feeling this sudden oppression, Chen Canghai and Jing Wuming instinctively took half a step back.
Just then, Jiang Ning raised his arm lightly.
In an instant, the air around him twisted sharply. Countless fine strands of water vapor rose from below the cliff, converging into wisps of black airflow that coiled around his arm.
The airflow was like smoke, like mist, dreamlike and illusory, yet in a flash it solidified, turning into an ink-black flood dragon shadow with faintly visible scales and claws.
"Go!"
Jiang Ning gave a low shout and pushed his arms forward.
Yin——
A dragon’s roar exploded.
Heaven and earth rumbled.
They saw a Black Flood Dragon tear through the air, stirring the wind and clouds as it surged toward the river surface below.
In one rush it went thirty zhang.
Waves of force rolled, spreading like tides.
As this strike was unleashed, Chaosheng Cliff fell silent.
Jing Wuming’s Adam’s apple bobbed, cold sweat beading on his brow.
He had just personally witnessed Chen Canghai use this move.
Though the two techniques were not completely identical, he could tell they shared the same root, differing only in outward form.
This move he had once personally experienced, its unmatched ferocity.
Its sheer force was enough to crush mountains and break cities.
Before this move, an ordinary county city wall could be shattered with a single blow.
A normal mountain could likewise collapse from one strike.
And he knew that for the Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Skill to reach such a level in Jiang Ning’s hands had taken less than an hour.
"So this is his strength?"
Staring at Jiang Ning’s back, Jing Wuming inwardly drew another sharp breath.
Meanwhile.
Chen Canghai’s eyes were wide, his thin, bony hands trembling slightly.
Since obtaining the Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Skill, he had exhausted decades of bitter cultivation to barely reach such an achievement.
Yet in Jiang Ning’s hands, this Cultivation Technique had taken less than one hour to reach the level that cost him endless bitter training.
Looking at Jiang Ning, he felt a deep sense of frustration and profound confusion.
At this moment, Jiang Ning drew back and stood still. The water vapor around him dispersed completely as he looked at his palm.
That strike just now had used a strand of golden Divine Power as the primer, with the vast True Yuan in his Dantian as support.
When the palm was released, a dragon’s roar exploded, fully displaying its dominance.
"Worthy of being an absolute technique!" he nodded to himself.
Right now he happened to lack a hand-and-foot technique that could fully bring out his advantages.
In previous fights, when he used fists and feet, he relied purely on his overwhelming strength.
Left heavy punch, right heavy punch—looked the part.
But in essence, it was only that his force was great.
Now this Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Skill happened to make up for this weak point of his.
For this Cultivation Technique, if he didn’t consider Breaking Limit, it wouldn’t take him much time at all at his current level.
And for him, even if he didn’t look at its killing moves, just its auxiliary ability alone was worth him spending some effort.
The Whale Swallowing ability.
It greatly strengthened his stomach and digestive power.
As long as he activated the Whale Swallowing ability, his stomach could eat anything and digest anything.
If he could eat it and digest it, it could provide resources for the growth of his body.
This was an auxiliary function he valued highly.
"Congratulations, Marquis!!" At the side, Chen Canghai slowly came back to his senses and cupped his hands toward Jiang Ning in congratulation.
"This Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Skill is not bad! Looking across the world, it’s a technique that ranks at the top." Jiang Ning nodded in praise.
Then he tossed the leather scroll in his hand back toward Chen Canghai.
"This thing is yours again."
"Marquis doesn’t need it anymore?" Chen Canghai caught the leather scroll that recorded the Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Skill and asked.
