"The 'escape' here does not refer to lightness skills or agility, but rather to the profound state that a martial artist achieves after cultivating to the extreme, namely, the martial artist's inability to move freely."
"Compared to the supreme magic of the four schools of Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, and Demonism, the martial artist's 'Boundless Distance' is slightly inferior."
"But this lack of distance also has its unique advantages."
"The so-called 'no distance' means that distance is ignored, and the thought can reach the destination instantly."
"A martial artist who has mastered the art of 'no distance' can accurately reach any place he has ever been with a single thought, making the ends of the earth seem as close as a foot away."
"In a sense, the concept of 'no distance' has already touched upon the realm of spatial laws."
"Only by mastering the distance-free technique can one break free before Haotian locks on and gain the upper hand."
"Having an opportunity does not guarantee success."
"For example, several great practitioners in the previous era mastered the technique of 'no distance'."
"But only one person truly escaped the calamity of eternal night."
"He is the only survivor of the Eternal Night besides the Butcher, the Drunkard!"
"It has lived for tens of thousands of years."
As soon as Su Chen finished speaking, the hall erupted in excitement.
These words were as shocking as breaking news, leaving everyone with mixed feelings of surprise and delight.
To their surprise, the catastrophe of the eternal night was far more terrifying than they had imagined.
When eternal night descends, the Heavenly Emperor above the divine realm will personally descend to the mortal world to reap all the great cultivators.
Many people previously held onto a glimmer of hope, thinking that as long as they reached the Great Longevity Realm of Celestial Beings, they could escape this calamity.
But now that illusion has been completely shattered.
Su Chen made it clear that even experts at the Celestial Longevity Realm would find it difficult to escape Haotian's terrifying strength.
In the previous civilization, among countless top experts, including many Celestial Beings at the Great Longevity Realm, only two survived.
The good news is that martial arts today far surpass those of the previous civilization, and it can even be said to be the most prosperous era since the emergence of Haotian.
This means that perhaps more powerful beings will survive this eternal night disaster.
But when everyone calmed down and thought about it, what did this have to do with them?
Even if this civilization is more powerful than ever before, it is meaningless to ordinary people.
Because Su Chen made it very clear that to survive in the Eternal Night, one must rely not on luck, but on true strength.
Even the slightest bit of luck is built upon immense strength.
For example, that butcher who is good at hiding his true intentions.
Although he wasn't the strongest in the previous civilization, his strength was still top-tier.
It was precisely because of this strength, coupled with his unparalleled ability to endure, that he barely managed to survive.
As for the other survivor, the Drunkard, he also relied on his formidable strength.
Although the "Boundless" spell corresponding to the martial arts cultivation method is not as good as the top spells of the four schools of Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, and Demonism, it is definitely the most outstanding one among the four schools.
Throughout the previous civilization, very few people mastered the "distance-free" technique.
It was precisely because of this strength, coupled with some fortuitous circumstances, that the Drunkard was able to survive.
Who wouldn't feel despair in the face of such an eternal night of disaster?
The hall immediately erupted in discussion:
"That's terrifying! When the Eternal Night came, not a single person at the Great Longevity Realm of the Celestial Realm survived?"
"It seems I underestimated the power of the Eternal Night. Even Haotian had to descend to the mortal realm personally. No wonder the previous civilization was destroyed so thoroughly."
"So, if we want to survive, the only way is to cultivate the supreme magic of the four schools of Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, and Demonism."
"It sounds easy, but how difficult is it to do? Even a genius like Lü Zu, who cultivated to the extreme in all four schools, couldn't comprehend the supreme magic. Ordinary people can forget about it."
Chapter 92 Opponent
“That’s right! The last civilization was left with only butchers and drunkards. They probably didn’t even have a single person who mastered the supreme magic.”
"I never imagined that we would become the most powerful civilization in history. What are the reasons behind this, and what secrets are involved?"
"I think it's impossible to fully master the four supreme spells. If I want to survive, I can only learn from the Butcher and the Drunkard."
"The Butcher's near-immortal realm goes without saying, but the Drunkard's 'Distanceless' spell is too overpowered. He can go anywhere with a thought, completely ignoring distance."
"The martial artist's 'no distance' is indeed powerful. He can even avoid Haotian, and he is invincible against others."
"The number of martial artists now far exceeds that of the four schools of Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, and Demonism. I wonder how many of them have mastered 'Boundless Distance'?"
The second private room on the south side of the fourteenth floor.
Jiang Ni covered her mouth and exclaimed, "Heavens! When the eternal night descends, will Haotian really descend to earth?"
Xu Fengnian, Jian Jiuhuang, Nangong Pushe, and the others all looked grim.
In the past, Haotian was a high and mighty god who lived in the divine kingdom.
Although they could sense his power, the distance was too great for them to be too afraid.
But it's different now.
Su Chen has confirmed that Haotian will personally descend!
That's the kind of person who could reduce Huangfu Jian, a Celestial Longevity Realm cultivator, to ashes with a wave of his hand, and destroy the Holy Sword Sect with a single glance!
Only now did they truly realize the horror of the eternal night disaster.
"The supreme magic of the four schools of Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, and Demonism was not even comprehended by Lu Zu, let alone by others."
"It seems I can only focus on cultivating the martial arts and see if I can comprehend the 'Boundless Distance' spell."
As Jian Jiuhuang pondered this, he spoke.
"The martial artist's technique of 'no distance'!"
"If it weren't for the Celestial Immortal's commentary, I would never have imagined that there were such astonishing mysteries in the martial arts cultivation method..."
Li Chungang muttered to himself, his eyes gleaming with excitement.
He was just a pure warrior.
He never cared about or wanted to learn about Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, or other schools of thought.
I originally thought that to become stronger, I had to cultivate the spells of the four schools of Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, and Demonism.
Seeing the "No Distance" spell now gave him hope for the path of a martial artist.
A martial artist's ability to travel anywhere is so profound that he can reach any place with a single thought.
If one can comprehend this kind of magic and combine it with the cultivation of the Celestial Longevity Realm, who says one wouldn't be stronger than those great beings like Buddha, Tao, Confucianism, and Demon?
Thinking of this, Li Chungang became even more excited, feeling that his path of swordsmanship had only just begun.
The fifth private room on the east side of the fourteenth floor.
Hua Manlou calmly walked out of the room, stood in front of the railing, and said loudly:
"I am willing to offer one million taels of gold and five million taels of silver as payment for the divination."
"May I ask the Celestial Immortal, is there truly anyone in this world who has mastered a complete supreme spell?"
The hall fell silent immediately after those words were spoken.
This is also the question that everyone wants to know most.
Judging from Su Chen's comments just now,
In the previous era, a few people mastered the miraculous skill of "no distance," but in the end, only the drunkard survived.
If one could master the top skills of Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, and Demonism, and focus solely on survival, then escaping the clutches of the great god Haotian would be a sure thing.
This fully demonstrates that the top-tier skills of Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, and Demonism in version 2.4 are truly formidable, far superior to those martial artists who only possess the skill of "no distance."
Perhaps there weren't even such masters in the previous era.
Looking at our current era, which is much more powerful than the previous one, will such masters emerge?
For example, the butcher only knows a half-baked immortal skill. So, are there really any true immortal masters in the world?
If they exist, just how powerful are they? Besides being able to evade Haotian, could they also pose a threat to him?
The conflict between humans and Haotian is irreconcilable.
But humans are inherently competitive and unwilling to admit defeat.
Even if they encounter the god Haotian, they will instinctively try to find a way to fight back.
Therefore, those masters who have mastered the complete top-level kung fu have become everyone's greatest hope.
Everyone stared wide-eyed at Bai Yutai, so nervous they didn't even dare to breathe.
On the white jade platform,
Su Chen was not surprised by the question at all. He easily brought up the system and looked at Hua Manlou.
The system responded quickly:
"The fortune telling for Hua Manlou was successful."
"Congratulations, host, on obtaining the top-tier Buddhist martial art, the Demon-Subduing Formation."
Su Chen raised an eyebrow slightly, showing no particular feeling about the reward.
However, having another powerful martial arts manual is always a good thing, so Su Chen didn't mind. He opened his folding fan and said loudly:
"I've said it before,"
"The previous human civilization was far less advanced than it is now."
"Although there are many powerful beings at the Great Longevity Realm of Celestial Beings,"
"But no one can master the complete top-level skills of any one of the four schools of Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, and Demonism."
"But things are different now. The current level of martial arts development surpasses that of any previous human civilization."
