Myriad Paths of the Dragon Emperor

Chapter 5174: The improvement of the original technique

He was at the peak of his cultivation, his comprehension was extraordinary, and his potential was boundless. That was why he could continuously improve and move forward in the midst of killing.

As for the other party, this old fellow who had almost exhausted his potential, it was almost impossible.

As time passed, the situation would become more and more advantageous to Lu Ming.

”Old man, Iʼll use you to train my original technique. Then, Iʼll kill you with the original technique Iʼve trained.”

Lu Ming muttered in his heart.

He planned to hide it for now. Even if his original technique had improved, he would not expose it.

This was because even a little improvement would not be enough to kill the other party. Instead, it would attract the other partyʼs attention.

When the other party realized that Lu Ming was constantly improving, they would push him into a corner and go all out.

He would slowly accumulate power and wait for his origin technique to improve enough. Then, he would unleash it all at once and catch his opponent off guard. Only then would he be able to crush his opponent.

Not long after, both sides were almost fully recovered.

This time, the black-skinned old man did not continue to attack.

He seemed to know that even if he attacked, he would not be able to do anything to Lu Ming.

However, since Lu Ming had tasted the sweetness, he would not give up. He took the initiative to attack.

”Old man, die!”

Lu Ming held the Ares spear and together with QiuQiu, they charged at the dark-skinned elder.

”Brat, youʼre looking for death!”

The black-skinned elder was furious.

He did not make a move and Lu Ming actually took the initiative to attack. He was simply courting death.

The two sides fought again, but the result was still that no one could do anything to the other.

In the end, they both stopped and recovered.

Just like that, there were occasional battles and occasional recovery. Time passed by day by day.

In the blink of an eye, 50 years had passed.

In the past 50 years, the two sides had fought countless battles.

It was impossible for them to turn enemies into friends because even if they joined forces, they would not be able to break through the bronze wall. Only by killing each other and sacrificing each other could they leave.

Between them, only one of them could get out alive.

In the past fifty years, after countless battles, Lu Mingʼs original technique had improved greatly.

He could clearly feel that his origin technique had improved.

Lu Ming was not sure how strong they were.

This was because he had never used his full power in the past 50 years. He had no idea how much his height would change and how powerful his original technique would be.

However, Lu Ming felt that he was no longer under pressure when he fought the dark-skinned elder. His improvement was also getting slower. He had not improved in the recent few battles.

I should be able to counter-suppress this old man if I go all out now. With QiuQiuʼs cooperation, it shouldnʼt be a problem to severely injure this old man when heʼs caught off guard.

Lu Ming secretly estimated his combat strength.

Although his battle-power was not as strong as the black-skinned elderʼs, the difference was not too great. The other party could not completely crush him.

Now that his origin technique had improved, his combat strength had increased greatly. The other party was caught off guard and would definitely suffer a huge loss.

With QiuQiu, there was definitely a chance.

At the same time, the dark-skinned elder was also sizing Lu Ming up with a cold look in his eyes.

this canʼt go on. Iʼll have to waste my time here with this brat. I wonʼt be able to leave until I kill this brat. Do I have to be trapped here for the rest of my life? no way! It seems like I can only pay a price and burn my origin root to kill this brat ...

The black-skinned elder pondered.

The cost of burning the origin root was huge. Once it was burned, the origin Rootʼs level would drop.

He had spent countless years, almost died several times, and all kinds of coincidences before he managed to upgrade his origin root to advanced level.

Only he knew how difficult it was.

Once it was burned, the origin root would likely be destroyed and fall to the middle or even low level. From then on, even if there were heaven-defying spiritual essences, it would be difficult to improve it back.

This was an unbearable loss. Not only would his battle prowess plummet, but he might also be forever stuck at reciprocity and never have the chance to vindicate Dao and become immortal again.

That was why he had not used this move before. He really did not want to use it unless he had no other choice.

However, if he had to be trapped here for the rest of his life, he would rather take the risk.

letʼs wait a little longer. Itʼs only been 50 years. Maybe after a while, there will be some changes ...

The black-skinned elder pondered, but he was still unwilling to burn his origin root and completely cut off the chance of Dao validation and immortal Ascension.

What was he doing in the desolate universe? It was to obtain opportunities, improve oneʼs Foundation, and improve oneʼs confidence in transcending the immortal tribulation. The ultimate goal was to prove oneʼs Dao and become immortal.

He was really unwilling to end it just like that.

”Wait. little longer, wait. little longer ...”

The dark-skinned old man warned himself.

However, Lu Ming did not want to wait any longer.

”Attack!”

kill! Lu Ming shouted in a low voice. He and QiuQiu charged forward and launched a storm of attacks on the dark-skinned elder.

”Brat, are you done yet? you canʼt kill me with your current strength. Youʼd better wait here for an opportunity.”

The black-skinned elder shouted coldly.

Lu Ming could not be bothered with the other party. He and QiuQiu attacked with all their might. The Spearʼs radiance and sword aura covered the other party.

BOOM!

The battle between the two sides erupted once again.

In the beginning, Lu Ming did not use his full strength. He maintained his previous combat strength to numb the other party.

After dozens of moves ...

”Hereʼs my chance.”

Lu Mingʼs eyes lit up. The opportunity he had been waiting for had finally come. The other party had revealed a huge flaw.

The main thing was that the two sides had been fighting for too long. They knew each otherʼs combat strength, original techniques, and attack methods like the back of their hands.

This was why the black-skinned old man revealed his weakness. Based on past experiences, even if he did, he should be fine.

However, Lu Ming needed such an opportunity now.

In an instant, the glow on Lu Mingʼs body grew even more intense. His body size was changing rapidly and shrinking rapidly. In the end, he was only four meters tall.

It used to be five meters, but now it was four.

Although it had only shrunk by one meter, the difficulty was extremely high, and the power had also increased greatly.

The further one advanced, the harder it was to improve.

Correspondingly, once it was upgraded, its power would skyrocket.

Lu Mingʼs height was about 1.8 meters. He was not far from 1.8 meters.

BOOM!

Lu Ming attacked with all his might. The Spearʼs radiance was like a dragon, surrounded by divine multicolored light. Its power was extremely terrifying.

Clang!

The war god spear stabbed at the black-skinned elder at an astonishing speed.

”Impossible, you ...”

The black-skinned elder was shocked.

If Lu Ming was still as powerful as before, he could fix this flaw in an instant and there would not be any major problems.

However, Lu Mingʼs abilities had suddenly improved tremendously. It was too late for him to stop him.

In a battle between experts, not a single bit of difference would work.

Pfft!

The war god spear accurately pierced the black-skinned old manʼs waist but was met with a strong resistance. This was the opponentʼs origin-grade divine weapon.

”Break!”

go! Lu Ming roared. A terrifying power erupted. With a bang, the black-skinned elderʼs top-tier origin-grade armor was pierced through. The Ares spear pierced into the black-skinned elderʼs body. A violent power erupted from his body.

Roar!

The dark-skinned old man let out a beast-like roar, and a large piece of metal exploded out of his body. It was a metal substitute.

As for himself, he retreated frantically.

However, Lu Ming had already expected this move.

Buzzzzzz!

QiuQiu trembled, and the sword Qi was shocking as it slashed down.

Lu Ming waved the spear of Ares and enveloped the surrounding area, wanting to crush everything.
