She suppressed those boiling emotion in her heart. She must not succumb to sadness. She must still fight whatever it takes to win. Because in this world, there is no more that matters besides power. Only those with power can overturn their fates. Only those with powers can have whatever they wanted. That is a truth destined to people like him. To her, power is nothing but a dream. But at least, even if she don't become super, she can be a hero. Heros don't cry. And legends never die.
The fate of this realm now rests on her shoulders. She will take the burden willingly. Rou Lang has not a cultivation level, but she still has a life, an element, and the Nirvana Fire running inside her. That's right! The Nirvana flames! No matter how long they were preserved, the strands of this Phoenix' sacred flame can burn anything to ashes, whether materialistic forms or spiritual forms. On which, like a black hole, Nirvana can also devour any kinds of energy not superior than it. That is the difference of a sacred than a normal heavenly one. The only problem is that how can she release the flames? Anyone? Do you have an idea?
She noticed the staff of Xiao Bai. Master Lei Jian mentioned it was a one of the Nine Nirvana Staff. On which, this staff must surely be related to Nirvana. She grabbed the staff, feeling its immense weight.
"Master Lei Jian, you there?"
"Yes, I am here the entire time. I was watching the entire scene unfold. I think I know what that boulder is. That must be a broken fragment of the Heavenly Pillar. I would not be so sure. But somehow, someone caused the Pillar to collapse. That was just a tiny piece. I surmise more fragments are coming down from up above. You see that purple ball of light? That is the core. Each purple ball is equivalent to 2, 000, 000 watts, or about twenty atomic bombs. Once that purple ball touched the ground, you'll be doomed. You must seek a way to destroy as soon as possible."
"Yeah. That's why I'm asking for help."
"Okay. What help?"
"The Nirvana flame is still within my dantian, right?"
"Yes."
"And it is being molded into a core?"
"Uh-huh."
"Do you think the Nirvana is enough to battle out that purple ball?"
"I know what you're thinking. Actually, it's possible. The sacred flames of Nirvana is one of oldest type of energy next to chaos. It can absolutely devour the purple ball if you can release it. However, I advise you not to do that. It is still untamed, rogue and wild. Once released, it can just explode within you and you'd be dead after 0.0001 second. Besides, you atleast need to use a medium to release the flames. You lost my blade, remember?"
"Yes, I know. I'm sorry for that. But this staff is more than enough. You said that this is one of the Nine Nirvana staff from the ancient times. It would be a perfect medium for the flow of Nirvana qi. So please release the flames and help me direct them to this pole."
"That's a crazy idea. Only women are crazy enough to think of such stuff. But forgive me, I will try my best to help you, but I cannot guarantee your safety, or your life being intact after performing such crazy action."
"I understand. Let's just do it."
"But how about your Master Levi? Won't we should wake him first?"
"No time for that. I'm pretty sure he won't agree. He might just turn me into a demoness and use his crazy powers to get me out of here. You know Master Levi is a demon. And he won't give a shit if the Heavens is falling down. He might be even ecstatic! I can do this alone. Trust me."
If she can see Lei Jian right now, he would be shaking his head. But he sighed and agreed anyway. Such an event is critical to the development of his disciple. If she ever has the slightest chance of surviving such a challenge, he would be glad enough to let her try it. As the saying goes, no cultivators grow without experiencing life and death situations. Today, there would only be two outcomes. Whether she succeed and live, or she fails and die. Rou Lang must give her best shot.
The core of flame inside her is in chaos. They were still naughty, trying to break out of her dantian. But since they were sealed by a mysterious force, they have no choice but to spin accordingly. Lei Jian gave them a way by opening her meridians and loosening their seal a bit. The flame qi got excited and directly rushed out from her through her hand. They were then absorbed into the metal staff in which runes were activated almost instantly. So it worked. The qi followed the runes like obedient puppies as they spread to every section of the staff. Not only at the outside, but inside is well full of runic Transistors. The Transistors and Diodes were arranged very methodically, drawn into tiny hair-like veins yet were sufficient to give passage way to almost 500, 000 watts of qi.
The white brilliance of the metallic staff was gone. It was now coated with red-orange flames. The flames looks like ordinary fire, but they're much more extraordinary and powerful such that they are devouring energies around.
"More. More. It's still not enough."
"No. That should be enough. Anymore and you'll really explode. The strength of weapons not only rely on the amount of qi injected into it, but by how flexible you used those energy into passive attacks. When used as a skill, their explosion force and active smite is multiplied tens of times. You should only be creative in executing your own skill."
There are three main components of skill execution. First is Accretion. This is the loading of qi into one's weapon or artifact to the required level. Not only one or two, but multiple types of elemental qi can be stored, whether fire qi, or water qi and nature qi, or even darkness qi and lightning qi can be combined. Each element must be segregated to the portion they are most required to.
Next is Contain. Once the proper amount of qi is all pent up, the cultivator must hold on the built-up potential, to boil up the mixture, until all is ready to fire.
Last is Kinetic. This is the action part, done by executing movements such as slash or stab. In doing, there must be a rapid release of stored energy within the weapon. If not rapid, then the elements will immediately disintegregate. In general, the more quicker, the more powerful. Such as in guns, the faster the release of bullets, the harder it pentrates and farther it goes. Same goes for qi. Normal qi is as harmless as water, but rapid release of qi can be as powerful as grenade explosion. Imagine how powerful it gets when 500, 000 watts of qi is rapidly released.
That was the simplest method of skill execution. Other methods are proven more effective and less consuming, but a basic is a necessity to master.
When all five hundred thousand watts of power was all ready to set, the next step is Contain. She must make sure that everything is boiled up. All the qis must be active and flowing at an equal rate. It was just like how circulatory system works. To quicken this step, Lei Jian advised her to spin the staff as fast as she can. The staff grows hotter and hotter, she can barely hold unto it anymore. Though she is willing to spin the staff despite its weight. Her concentration peaked up, until she managed to wield the heavy staff as she would on a normal stick.
Handling of weapons is not as hard at all. She just needs to feel the connection between her and the pole. She must connect their spirit. Upon succession, the pole would be as easy to control as another limb.
She got to the point when the pole was spinning at an insane speed but she keeps telling it's not enough. She is determined to get the maximum power stored so as her effort isn't wasted.
When she was near to creating a tornado, her Master shouted.
"Now!"
And she pumped up all her energies on her legs as she propelled upward as fast as a bullet, still spinning the staff at a rapid velocity. Up above, the purple ball of light was also descending on her. Both shone brilliantly as they were determined to crush each other in this single clash. If by common sense, the purple ball was definitely overpowered it is not wrong to say it was as powerful as nuclear bomb. But to the young lady, anything was not impossible! If the Heavens destined for her to die, she will first prove how naive they are for underestimating her!
"HYAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! BEHOLD THE NINE! NIRVANA! STAFF!"
