Supreme Star Card Master

Chapter 1177: Chapter 957: Unlimited Freedom

The cultivation of the Soul Card requires communication with it.

And the best place to communicate with the Soul Card, naturally, is the Qingming Realm where the Soul Card has manifested.

Qingming Peak is the highest point within the Qingming Realm and the closest point to the sky.

Su Yuan sat cross-legged, motionless, to the point where even his breathing was imperceptible.

Three days passed, and he had long entered a deep meditation state.

Suddenly, the Qingming Realm began to shake violently.

Then, the entire world collapsed inward, all towards Qingming Peak.

Yet, the originally highest Qingming Peak soared ever higher into the sky, higher and higher until it reached unknown heights.

Su Yuan opened his eyes, looking straight ahead.

In front of him appeared a Phoenix with silver eyes and a black body, its entire form covered with silver-flower-like space patterns.

This was originally a Phoenix Vein... but now, it was a Phoenix Vein inhabited by the ”Infinite Profound Phoenix.”

Su Yuan looked at the Profound Phoenix before him: ”Finally willing to show yourself, huh...”

Perhaps having such a face-to-face opportunity with Su Yuan was rare, and the Profound Phoenix also sized up Su Yuan before saying: ”Do you wish to gain more of my power?”

”Indeed,” Su Yuan replied.

The Profound Phoenix said plainly: ”You possess Heavenly Treasure like Divine Wind and Divine Fire and skills that keep improving. Do you really need my power for defeating enemies along the way?”

Su Yuan listened intently to the Profound Phoenix, vaguely hearing a trace of resentment in its words?

In fact, that was indeed the case.

Just like he had discussed with Yang Yifeng before, the main advantage in Su Yuan’s strength lay in the various skills enhanced through the Star Dust System.

Because of these powerful skills that could be easily boosted, the cultivation of the Soul Card and Power of Soul had fallen into a vicious cycle.

Originally a rare and powerful Space-type Soul Card, it had rarely received Su Yuan’s ”favor” since awakening; how could the Infinite Profound Phoenix not feel resentful?

Feeling at a disadvantage, Su Yuan nodded: ”Indeed, initially I hurried for quick success without valuing the fundamental Power of Soul.

However, with the silence of Divine Wind and Divine Fire, I realized that Space Power is the most compatible and effective force.”

The Profound Phoenix crossed its ”Double Wings Embrace,” slightly turning its head, letting out a cold snort.

Unlike other Soul Cards, the Infinite Profound Phoenix, though highly developmental, was already a Legendary Grade Soul Card.

But Su Yuan had awakened his Soul Card at sixteen, making the Infinite Profound Phoenix less than ”twenty” years old.

For Soul Cards dependent on a Star Card Master and not living entities, this was considered extremely ”young.”

After pondering briefly, Su Yuan said seriously, ”Though late, it is better than never. Now with calamities ahead, I need more of your power. In the future, you too will be my most important force.”

It was like coaxing a child, but that was genuinely what Su Yuan thought.

After hearing this, the Profound Phoenix pondered for a moment and then said, ”I can assist you, but there are prerequisites.”

”Say it.”

The Infinite Profound Phoenix looked at Su Yuan, its eyes gleaming with silver light: ”At this moment, you are the cleanest I have seen, but... not clean enough.

The impurities around me are too many. If you want more power, let me remove those dregs.”

The ”dregs” the Infinite Profound Phoenix referred to were likely the non-Space Star Cards.

All Star Cards were embedded in the Star Sea with the Profound Phoenix as the core.

To the Infinite Profound Phoenix, it was like piles of messy garbage around itself.

From the tone of the Infinite Profound Phoenix, was it suggesting destroying them?

Skills already embedded cannot be replaced; this is common knowledge among Star Card Masters.

Destroying these skills undoubtedly means that the Skill Slots would also be discarded!

Silver light flickered in Su Yuan’s eyes as he stared at the Profound Phoenix.

After a brief ponder, Su Yuan agreed with a nod: ”Alright!”

This was not easy, and it involved a certain degree of negotiation.

Because the Profound Phoenix wanted to destroy these skills, Su Yuan was unsure which ones it would destroy.

For the Profound Phoenix, any non-Space-related skills were considered dregs, possibly including the Three-Phases Divine, the three Legendary Divine Skills of Wind, Thunder, and Fire, the Upper Pure Sword Control Technique, and so on...

But no matter how uncertain, Su Yuan could not easily ask.

If he asked, there might be a rift between him and the Profound Phoenix.

Even the slightest rift would make True Form Release increasingly difficult!

Seeing Su Yuan agree, the Infinite Profound Phoenix said no more. Silver light ignited in its eyes, wings spread wide, and the space-like patterns on its body flickered like silver flowers.

Countless silver runes flew from the Profound Phoenix, interweaving back and forth, and the domineering Space Power quickly enveloped Su Yuan, permeating his inner Star Sea.

Su Yuan’s entire body trembled, and a cracking sound echoed from within him.

From Star Apprentice Level, Steel Flame Finger, Hardened Iron Armor, Wind Walking...

Bronze Level’s Nether Wolf Summon, Hellfire, Great Sun Burning Body Technique...

Silver Stage’s Void Splitting Monument Hand, Frost Giant Dragon...

Gold Level’s Trinity...

Finally up to Radiant Moon Level’s Killing Life Salvation Technique!

Each skill that had contributed to Su Yuan’s success, along with the embedded Skill Slots, broke with a ”cracking” sound!

And this was not the end...

Just when Su Yuan thought it was over, space-related skills like Void Splitting Monument Hand, Teleportation, Star Dominator, and Space Gate also crumbled one by one!

Su Yuan felt a chill in his heart, not expecting the Infinite Profound Phoenix to shatter all these space skills!

Fortunately, the various legendary divine skills, including important skills like the Epic-grade Time Reversal, were not discarded by the Profound Phoenix.

Su Yuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing he hadn’t been wrong.

The reason he quickly agreed was simply because, no matter what, he and the Infinite Profound Phoenix were one.

Even if the Phoenix had its own preferences, ultimately, it wouldn’t do anything detrimental to him.

Not long after, until the pupil skill Void was also shattered, the Infinite Profound Phoenix finally stopped its destruction of the Star Cards, and the numerous space runes enveloping Su Yuan gradually dispersed.

At this moment, in Su Yuan’s Star Sea, aside from the Instant Movement that came with his original awakening, only a few purple and gold Star Cards like Three-Phases Divine and Time Reversal remained.

Even the soul cards embedded in the lower three levels, such as Space Cut, were completely shattered by the Infinite Profound Phoenix!

Looking at the now empty Star Sea, Su Yuan felt somewhat unaccustomed.

Opening his eyes again, he looked at the Profound Phoenix in front of him: ”Luckily, you still left me with skills like Time Reversal.”

Profound Phoenix: ”You’re welcome.”

Su Yuan: ”...”

Su Yuan: ”But I didn’t expect you to even dissolve Void Splitting Monument Hand, Teleportation, and even the pupil skill Void...”

The Profound Phoenix snorted: ”If I didn’t dissolve them, where would I get enough energy to enhance you?”

”Hmm?” Su Yuan was slightly stunned.

Profound Phoenix: ”Those dissolved space skills, although effective, weren’t strong enough, and you haven’t used them much lately anyway.

These skills were merely effective uses of space power.

Since you’ve had them before, as a creator and weaver of space, restoring these skills isn’t difficult.”

As the Profound Phoenix spoke, the silver patterns on its pitch-black body suddenly intensified to the extreme, and countless peculiar energies surged toward Su Yuan...

In an instant, the Instant Movement on the soul card rapidly became dazzling!

The originally blue Instant Movement suddenly merged with the Infinite Power of the Infinite Profound Phoenix!

Instant Movement had always been a soul card that came with the Azure Sky Phoenix’s awakening.

Now, gathering the energy of other Star Cards and guided by the Legendary-grade Infinite Power of the Profound Phoenix, it underwent a fundamental transformation, gradually emitting a dazzling golden brilliance.

In just a short moment, it had completely transformed into a legendary-grade skill!

[Unlimited Freedom]

[Grade: Legend]

[Level: Unable to upgrade]

[Introduction: Space movement synchronized with the heart’s desire, the ultimate technique of Heaven’s Dominator, removes consumption and cooldown, extends teleportation distance, and is free from conventional constraints and barriers.]

”A legendary-grade teleportation skill, a super-enhanced version of Instant Movement?”

Su Yuan’s heart skipped a beat. He was still using the blue-grade Instant Movement up to this point.

And now, what kind of strength would the legendary-grade Unlimited Teleportation possess?

Removal of consumption, removal of cooldown...

Does this mean that as long as the mind wills it, one can teleport freely?

Moreover, the previous Instant Movement was limited by certain restrictive skills, preventing teleportation, but now it is ”unhindered by conventional constraints and barriers”...

No wonder it’s called ”the ultimate technique of freedom synchronized with the heart’s desire”... truly terrifying to the extreme!

Was it worth shattering so many skills to gain one legendary-grade Unlimited Freedom?

Of course, it was worth it!

As the saying goes, quality far outweighs quantity!

Besides, the erased skills were all below legendary, mostly already of little use!

And to be able to upgrade the Master-grade Instant Movement to the legendary Unlimited Freedom... it’s a tremendous profit!

And this is just the preliminary work for the True Form Release.

The deeper potential of the Infinite Profound Phoenix, the more profound strength...

The Profound Phoenix looked at Su Yuan: ”Well then, I shall begin!”

The Profound Phoenix spread its wings and took two steps forward, embracing Su Yuan.

How to deeply perceive the power of the soul card?

Physical closeness can better promote spiritual communication.

With space power flickering, the Infinite Profound Phoenix carried Su Yuan straight into the sky, transforming into a sky-covering great phoenix that enveloped Su Yuan within.

In an instant, the Qingming Realm shook violently, and even the Qingming Peak, the only remnant of the collapsing world, began to disintegrate from bottom to top.

In just a moment, the world returned to a void, leaving only that mass of silver light in mid-air...

Time passed unknowingly.

”Clang!”

Within the world, the silver light suddenly converged, and after a flash of radiance on the Infinite Profound Phoenix, its entire body shrank and returned to within Su Yuan.

With the disappearance of the Infinite Profound Phoenix, a vast power of space surged outside Su Yuan, and his whole body gradually manifested mysterious and magnificent silver patterns akin to the Infinite Profound Phoenix’s.

Until finally, Su Yuan opened his eyes, and amidst the surging silver light, a splendid Sky Silver Flower suddenly bloomed within his pupils!
