Chapter 178: Testing Martial Arts - 178
Although he obviously couldn't use chaos Qi or moves that required chaos Qi, he could still test out his other moves. If he was still within his galaxy, he wouldn't have even dared to consider it. In the vastness of the universe, however, there was plenty of space to test out his strength and martial arts.
He didn't plan on doing it within the silver river galaxy cluster, so he started to fly away at his top speed. After a couple thousand years, he left the silver river galaxy cluster.
Surprisingly, he didn't leave through the entrance of the river, but the exit. If he moved forward, he would not reach the area between the three galaxy clusters, but a whole new section of the universe.
He still wasn't ready to go to another galaxy cluster since he didn't feel like wasting too much time unnecessarily, but he planned on leaving the silver river galaxy cluster far behind him when he tested his moves out.
Zhou Fan proceeded to fly into an extremely empty and silent part of the universe for ten thousand years before he finally stopped. The silver river galaxy was now extremely far behind him, and he had reached a point so silent and cold that it felt like his cultivation spot in between the galaxy clusters.
That didn't mean that if he flew out he would find a better spot, however. A big part of the peacefulness of his spot between the galaxies was the fact that the three galaxy clusters he had essentially made his own were surrounding him. That way, he could keep watch over all of his creations.
Also, it would be harder for an area to naturally be colder and more silent than his spot.
Now that he was far away from the three galaxy clusters, Zhou Fan took a look ahead at the endless universe. Within his vision, there were hundreds of galaxy clusters and thousands of other space things. It was a better sight than he had ever seen before. There were many colors and shapes that he had never seemed to think of.
Zhou Fan quickly snapped out of it and got prepared to test his martial arts out. It had been a while since just about everything he had encountered was either so weak that he could deal with it without any sort of effort, or so strong that even the greatest martial art wouldn't make a difference.
He was truly an unlucky person. He thought for a while and decided that his favorite move would be the best to use first.
Zhou Fan held his palm out in front of him and uttered a phrase. "Buddha's Palm."
As he said those words and moved his Qi, a giant palm made up of buddhist Qi descended upon the universe. It was big enough to completely cover hundreds of galaxies side by side, but it seemed much less domineering in the middle of nowhere. Still, the buddha's palm shook and broke space down to its final layer with ease.
Since the martial art didn't have any chaos Qi, the final layer held up against the buddha's palm with absolute ease. After moving for a while, the palm dispersed.
Zhou Fan was extremely satisfied with the result of his martial art. If there was anything around to destroy, then the move would have been much more impactful. Sadly, he had chosen the middle of nowhere. Although he knew his decision was the best, he couldn't help but feel slightly disappointed.
Zhou Fan thought of the next move he was going to do. He remembered the Buddha's palm with chaos Qi, but he obviously couldn't do that. With his current strength, he would probably rip a hole in the final layer of space as big as the buddha's palm.
Ignoring the Chaos buddha's palm, Zhou Fan remembered the yellow piercing sword finger. It was quite a simple move that didn't rely on any special Qi and could be easily changed according to his wishes.
He decided against that, however, and simply used light Qi and yellow Qi to form it. Zhou Fan pointed two of his fingers towards a random direction, and what looked like a piece of the top section of a normal sword formed from light Qi and yellow Qi.
"Yellow piercing sword finger." Zhou Fan said before releasing the martial art. It moved at an incredible speed and pierced all the layers of space without making any sort of big commotion. If not for his powerful eyes, the yellow piercing sword finger would have been perfectly hidden behind every layer of space besides the final one.
If someone were to be an assassin and have this martial art, they may become invincible. Of course, Zhou Fan didn't plan on passing his move down any time soon. He couldn't recall if he ever put his moves in the Huang Long academies library or not, but they were surely gone by now even if he did.
Eventually, the yellow piercing sword finger stopped moving forward and dispersed. In the short span of an hour it had existed, it moved past millions of light years.
Zhou Fan was under the impression that it was his fastest martial art.
Next, Zhou Fan remembered a move he called the dao finger. It was probably the most powerful among his moves, although it wasn't his favorite. It combined his understanding of the dao, his understanding of the elements, and the power of his Qi into one giant finger. The finger crushed anything in its path and moved at fairly fast speeds.
With his new upgrades and understandings in both the Dao's and the elements, along with the large amount of Qi's he had discovered, he was sure that he would be able to exert a power incomparable to before.
Not wasting any time, Zhou Fan pointed his finger out into space, at a different direction than the yellow piercing sword finger and the buddha's palm went.
He gathered his understanding of the Dao's, both cosmic and mortal, the elements, both mortal and immortal, and his overall power onto his finger and pushed it forward.
Chapter 179: New Moves - 179
A few feet in front of his finger, Qi gathered from all directions and met at one point like a spider web. His comprehensions and understandings were then added to it.
In an instant, a finger made of every element and comprehension that Zhou Fan had ever made came out of the spider web-like gathering of everything.
It was a combination of every color Zhou Fan had ever seen, including the ones within the rainbow tunnel. The only Qi Zhou Fan didn't use with his Dao finger was Chaos Qi. That was because it would definitely tear a hole in the final layer of space.
The moment the Dao finger started moving forward, space shattered completely. In an instant, the final layer of space was the only thing left. The Dao finger continued to move forward at an astonishing speed, breaking every single millimeter of space it encountered.
It was, by far, the greatest move that Zhou Fan could ever do without the use of Chaos Qi. If he were to ever take a successor or disciple, this would be the move he taught him. Of course, he wouldn't need it as much if he also had a chaos Qi affinity, but Zhou Fan didn't see that ever happening.
As far as Zhou Fan could tell, having a chaos Qi affinity wasn't simple. If you were simply born with only an affinity to chaos Qi, you would die in an instant. It would destroy your body and soul before you could even breathe your first breath.
In order to survive with a chaos Qi affinity, you would also have to have the Chaos physique that Zhou Fan has. That meant that along with the one in a gazillion chance that you have a chaos affinity, you would also have to have the Chaos physique, which was another one in a gazillion chance. As far as Zhou Fan was concerned, that simply wouldn't happen.
Even in the one in a grizillion bazillion chance it did, it would be far in the future. Zhou Fan may have reached the peak of cultivation by then, if there was one.
Even with all of his strength and his understanding of creation, he had no clue if there was a final destination in cultivation. In fact, he didn't even know what the next realm would be.
It was like trying to predict the birth of the universe before the birth of the universe, it simply wasn't happening.
The Dao finger eventually dispersed after moving an extremely long distance, although it was slightly shorter than the distance that the yellow piercing sword finger traveled.
With that, Zhou Fan was finished practicing all the moves he remembered. Now, he was ready to try and make some new martial arts.
He stood in the middle of space and began to think. He was considering both single target attacks and area attacks.
His first idea was a rain of swords. He tried it out in space using metal Qi, and it worked just fine. Still, it wasn't all that useful or interesting compared to his other moves. Since it didn't really matter what moves he had as he was the strongest, he felt he should naturally go for the flashiest and most powerful moves.
Otherwise, he might as well just crush every enemy he came across with his divine sense. After thinking of ways to revise the rain of sword martial art, he came up with another idea.
It would still be an area attack and it would still have many things raining down, they just wouldn't be swords. Instead, he would use gold Qi, light Qi, and yellow Qi in order to make arrows that flew down and decimated everything.
The arrows would be quite big and not in the shape of a conventional arrow, but that was the best description he had.
It was clear to Zhou Fan that the most flashy and interesting moves would be the ones with brighter Qi's such as Buddhist Qi, light Qi, and yellow Qi.
Therefore, he decided to try and make a flashy move that didn't use brighter Qi's.
'This may be the biggest challenge I have ever faced, but I will not give up.' He told himself.
After around a hundred days of sitting and thinking, Zhou Fan finally had an idea. Also, it only used dark Qi and death Qi.
In order to best showcase his move, he would need to go to a planet. Luckily, there were plenty. After a short period of flying, Zhou Fan entered a galaxy and found a barren planet. Although the wasteland wasn't exactly the best land to showcase his martial art on, it definitely wasn't the worst.
Zhou Fan looked at the flat ground in front of him and executed his martial art. He tried to think of a cool or interesting phrase to say, but he couldn't think of anything. It was times like this when he needed the chickens stupid ideas.
As the martial art commenced, the silent and barren wasteland seemed to gain a solemn and deadly atmosphere.
All of a sudden, long arms made of death Qi and Dark Qi reached out from the ground. Realizing they had no target, Zhou Fan created a couple thousand statues.
From right in front of one of the statues feet, a dark and deadly hand extended out of the ground and quickly grabbed the statues face. The Death Qi and dark Qi eroded the statue's face as it dragged it to the ground. In an instant, the same thing happened to every other statue, although the attacks were all around them and not only directly in front of them.
Within seconds, the dark arms receded and the wasteland was again peaceful, devoid of any statues, movement, or noise. Zhou Fan was satisfied with the results of both of the martial arts. He decided to call the first one, rain of light, and he couldn't come up with a name for the second one. Once again, he wished he had the chicken near him.
Once he was finished with the showcasing of the death Qi/Dark Qi arms move, he flew back to the spot he had been in for a while and started to ponder.
