Myriad Manifestations Technique, the top secret technique of the Buddha’s Gate, originated from the most esoteric teachings of the ancient Buddha Zhunti.

Although the technique serves as the foundation of the Buddha Kingdom within one’s palm, it is the top secret technique among those of the Buddha Kingdom who are beneath the King Level.

The saying goes, "A single flower is a world, a single leaf is Bodhi." The Divine Skills of the Buddhist Sect lie in fabrication and creation. Where the thoughts reach, there lies the creation of worlds. During the prime of the Buddha Kingdom, any Buddha could create worlds within their palms.

It was said that during that time, disciples of a Buddha could live and thrive in a world within a palm, and it was through this ability that the Buddhist faith spread so rapidly.

In that chaotic and brutal era, the pure land within a Buddha’s palm was a place desired by both humans and demons at the time of the apocalypse.

Below the King Level there are no Buddhas.

Even those of the legitimate branch who have reached this realm can, at most, practice Myriad Manifestations.

The Myriad Manifestations Technique is different from the Divine Skill of forming a Buddha Kingdom world in an instant.

It requires time to slowly construct a regular world.

The scope is very small, and it lacks vitality, but everything will, under the operation of Myriad Manifestations, mimic the surrounding world and gradually form a real cycle of Reincarnation—a world fabricated by the Buddhist Sect.

Whether it’s the Buddha Kingdom within the palm or the Myriad Manifestations Technique, they both seem to be of a creative nature. However, few know that they are also top-notch killing Divine Skills.

The reason is actually quite simple. The creator of a world naturally has the power to issue commands and laws at will, possessing absolute authority over life and death, and even the right to transform anything within their created world.

This is the terrifying nature of the Buddhist Sect’s top Divine Skills.

Once pulled into the Buddha Kingdom within the palm, there is a slim chance of survival, while Myriad Manifestations, unlike the already formed Buddha Kingdom within the palm, requires time, akin to a newly formed world, a disadvantage that is quite obvious.

Before a false world takes shape, its Laws are not perfect and do not grant immediate display of the might of its world’s master. But as time slowly passes, as the Laws become more complete, the creator’s own strength grows more and more until they can finally rule over everything in that world!

To put it in terms of online gaming, it has a very long pre-cast time!

Like Shenyue at this moment, she actually began simulating a world in her mind upon arrival. To simulate it successfully, it takes quite some time. The match has been going on for half a month, and she has barely completed it.

Even if the model was already completed in advance, when it comes to officially activating it, the world must begin its rotation, allowing it to gradually take shape, rather than instantly becoming a perfect world.

So... if one has prepared for long enough in advance, and after bringing people in, the activation time is also long.

This is the downside of the Myriad Manifestations Technique!

However... Despite its clear disadvantages, it still remains recognized as a top-tier lethal secret technique.

First and foremost, once one is pulled in, if they do not kill themselves, there’s no way out, no method will work, not even for top-tier Spatial Sorcerers like Dusk Phenomenon.

And in this world, as time goes by, that guy...

"What’s the matter?" A coquettish laugh sounded; Shenyue, who had once again been forced back by the Emperor using Flame Burst, looked at her opponent with a smile that was not quite a smile, "You’re getting slow..."

"Slow?" The Emperor sneered, "Or have you become stronger?"

"Ah..." Shenyue covered her lips, suddenly smiling seductively, "You really are hard to fool..."

The Emperor did not reply, but his expression grew dark as water.

It seems it was not just his own misperception...

The woman’s speed was getting faster, and her strength... also getting stronger!

During their next exchange, the rhythm noticeably quickened, and the offensive and defensive roles were almost exchanged...

Originally on the defensive, Shenyue now gained the upper hand at every turn, both in speed and explosive power, seeming a bit closer to perfection than before—a point that the Emperor felt particularly acutely!

To be honest, he was somewhat at a loss to understand...

Because below the King Level, he was already nearing his limit.

Just a little more, and a massive supply of Spiritual Energy would be needed, or else basic actions could not be sustained.

Once the body’s strength limitations were lifted, it would be difficult to revert back.

In this world, the only one he knew who could easily retract their physical strength, falling below the King Level at will, was his twin sister.

Not even the King of Qin from years gone by could do this!

But the person before him seemed different.

Her strength was slowly increasing, edging toward the boundary of the King Level. This caused the Emperor to feel a growing sense of unease...

Could it be that she, like his Imperial Sister, could drop her realm and retract her physical strength at any time?

It wasn’t impossible; after all, she was a creature who had lived for who knows how many ages. What was unachievable for others might be as simple as eating and drinking for her.

But the problem was, the Spiritual Energy in this world was not so abundant!

If she broke through the King Level, and her physical body exceeded the limit, once past that boundary, the demand for Spiritual Energy would instantly skyrocket. If she couldn’t kill him within a few breaths, she would instead be the one facing a dire situation.

Was there a point to this?

However, as the bouts continued, his feeling of unease grew stronger, and the surprise in his eyes deepened.

She was indeed getting stronger, not yet to the extent of the King Level, but it was clear that she had partially broken through the King Level’s constraint.

This made it increasingly difficult for him to fend off, and after several rounds, the wounds on his body multiplied, each one worse than the last!

Boom!

After another explosion, the Emperor quickly retreated a thousand yards before he stopped, his expression growing increasingly ghastly.

He bit his teeth hard, touching his waist lightly. That last hit, he feared, had almost cut off half of his hip. He could no longer keep up with the opponent’s pace!

How could this be...

"This woman’s speed... has reached the threshold of the King Level!"

King Xiang’s voice slowly rose in the Emperor’s mind.

"Why? She doesn’t have any side effects?" The Emperor asked in a deep voice.

At that moment, an extremely high temperature erupted around him, clearly preparing for a desperate fight.

It was this show of force that kept Shenyue, who had the upper hand from a distance, from attacking recklessly.

"Indeed..." King Xiang looked darkly at Shenyue in the distance. If she had any side effects from her power, she should have finished the fight quickly. But she didn’t.

She was very cautious. Each time they seemed inclined to fight to the death, she timely dodged.

She preferred to miss the opportunity to kill rather than take a risk.

What kind of tactic was that for someone with side effects?

Something’s not right... indeed not right... hm?

Suddenly, it was as if King Xiang noticed something.

"What did you see?" the Emperor quickly asked.

"Her breathing is off!"

"Breathing?" The Emperor paused, then looked over and also noticed something amiss.

Her breaths were very long, exceptionally so, not at all like someone in combat, but more like someone in a meditative state. And... with her breaths, the Emperor finally felt it.

The surrounding Spiritual Energy... was rapidly depleting!
