Senju Yukika finally let the demon go. The other man, still anxious, turned for one last look before leaving. With a serious tone, he announced, "Sir, my name is Chi Jiuxing. I hope we meet again!"
Yukika knew this guy was a habitual thief and just hoped he'd stop stealing from him in the future.
Yukika absorbed every character from the mysterious technique into his mind. In no time, he fully grasped its essence. According to Shangguan's description, this technique could greatly boost one's power in a short time—with no side effects.
It sounded like it defied the rules of heaven itself. Even Yukika found it hard to believe.
Only now did he carefully examine the technique for flaws. After a long analysis, he was shocked—there were none.
All secret techniques typically had weaknesses. They were made by humans, not by the laws of heaven. No man-made creation could be truly flawless.
Some practitioners hid their flaws well, while others did so clumsily. But this unnamed technique had no flaws at all. It was astonishing.
Expressionless, Yukika redirected his chakra and began to circulate it in accordance with the technique's instructions...
Instantly, his aura loosened, and then surged. His power skyrocketed—from the level of True God to something even higher!
What kind of power was this?
He didn't know, but he could feel it clearly. It felt like he could punch through the atmosphere with a single blow.
If he chose, he could probably destroy the planet beneath his feet in mere moments.
This strength clearly surpassed the realm of a True God. True Gods could destroy planets, but only with immense effort and at the cost of all their chakra.
Afterward, they'd need to find a secluded place to recover. Destroying a world came with a price. Even True Gods didn't take such actions lightly.
But for Yukika now, it felt as if destroying a planet would be simple. That was the upgrade granted by this unnamed technique.
"Unbelievable... such a technique exists in this world!"
Yukika couldn't help but sigh.
He had no idea who created this mysterious technique. The most incredible part was that it didn't limit itself based on the user's cultivation level.
Whether a low-tier warrior, a mid-tier martial artist, or a peak-level True God like himself, anyone could benefit from it.
Imagine the power such a skill could bestow! Yukika wished he could meet its creator.
There was one limitation: it only lasted ten minutes. After ten minutes, one's power would revert to its original state.
However, there were no side effects after it wore off. That was the technique's most precious quality.
The technique now quietly floated in Yukika's mind. He felt it was the greatest treasure he'd gained since arriving at the Otsutsuki Ancestor Planet—far surpassing anything else.
But he remembered what the demon lord Chi Jiuxing had said: the technique was too eerie—even he couldn't handle it.
Yet Yukika had used it and felt nothing sinister.
Just as that thought crossed his mind, the space around him suddenly roared and cracked apart!
Surprised, Yukika looked around. He thought it might be an illusion—but the chaotic spatial energies told him this was real.
Without warning, the space he occupied was sliced off from the universe, like a massive blade had cut it out entirely.
Yukika's gaze turned cold. He quietly observed his surroundings, unsure if some unknown force had attacked him...
Or could this sudden shift be linked to the technique within his mind?
At the same time, all three of his elemental powers spread out, forming an impenetrable barrier around him. Breaking through it wouldn't be easy.
······
Space collapsed in chunks, reminding Yukika of the abandoned houses in the Hidden Leaf Village on Earth—how they crumbled after years of neglect and violent storms.
Wasn't this collapse eerily similar?
And it didn't stop. It kept unraveling.
Yet Yukika soon discovered something strange: despite the collapse, a new space was forming in its place.
It wasn't an illusion. A dense, almost living spatial energy was being born—like a new life form germinating and growing.
The process was rapid. Above Yukika, the heavenly laws shattered and reformed, giving rise to one mind-blowing vision after another.
He never expected the unnamed technique to cause such upheaval!
But to the outside world, the spot where Yukika stood appeared completely void. No one could detect that this small pocket of space had been severed from the universe itself.
Yukika, trapped inside, didn't know how much time had passed before his form gradually reappeared.
"This technique really is bizarre. No wonder Chi Jiuxing looked like he'd seen a ghost…"
Yukika understood: for someone weaker, watching the very space around them collapse would feel like the world had abandoned them. It could drive anyone mad.
Not everyone possessed Yukika's mindset—that calm, composed demeanor grounded in overwhelming strength.
The earlier scene had been intense, but ultimately, nothing substantial had happened.
Yukika didn't care. Whatever chaos this unnamed technique would stir up later was a problem for the future. He had more pressing concerns now.
It turned out that he had accidentally released his spiritual pressure too far.
Now, he realized that stretching from the Jufeng Mountains across several thousand miles of wasteland, numerous powerful warriors had set up traps and challenges.
Yukika thought about it and instantly understood what was going on.
Taxi.
