Chapter 10, Illusory Palm

Thank you, Great Demon King, let's go!" Yun Tianyu said gratefully, increasing his speed threefold, creating a phantom image in place, and swiftly rushing towards the outskirts of the Lightless Forest, quickly disappearing into the lush greenery of the Lightless Forest

After a beautiful sleep, Yun Tianyu felt all the fatigue in his body swept away, and he was filled with strength.

"Tianyu, even if you gather all the materials for refining the Restoration Pill, how will you actually refine it? Do you know how to refine pills?" The astute Nanhongpeng sensed that Yun Tianyu was hiding a secret and weakly inquired.

If it were not for the cultivation of the Original Time and Space Technique, Yun Tianyu would be unable to sustain the continuous consumption of true essence required for the high-grade earth technique, the Illusory Palm

"Great Demon King, please keep an eye on the surroundings. I have exhausted too much energy in the recent battle and need to recover quickly," said Yun Tianyu, who had just acquired a level 3 spirit beast black bear beast core. After the fight, he let out a long sigh, feeling somewhat drained as he spoke.

"Restoration Pill! Tianyu, where did you learn about the Restoration Pill and its refining method?" When the despondent Nan Hongpeng learned of the refining method for the Restoration Pill, hope reappeared on his ashen face. He widened his eyes and looked at Yun Tianyu with anticipation, asking loudly.

No problem. Although the training regimen designated by the Dark Lord is extremely intense, it has not affected Yun Tianyu's inner peace. Taking a deep breath, Yun Tianyu stepped into the rarely visited, lush and shadowy forest.

However, with this thirty percent of power, even experts at the fifth level of the Dao and the realm of the Book Master may not be able to withstand it. If Yun Tianyu further enhances his strength, in a few months during the competition among the younger generation of the Nan family, Yun Tianyu, who masters the Illusory Palm and can increase his speed threefold, will be more than capable of easily claiming victory.

If the Dark Lord can refine elixirs for himself, Yun Tianyu believes that his strength will increase at a terrifying pace, and perhaps he will be able to help his master take revenge.

The third-level spirit beast, the black bear, Tian Yu, we are quite fortunate; this black bear is just right for you to practice your techniques. Use the Void Illusion Palm to attack it. Sensing the strength of the black bear, which exceeds three meters in length, the Dark Lord floated in the air like a ghost, communicating with Yun Tianyu.

After bidding farewell to the newly inspired Nan Hongpeng, Yun Tianyu's greatest concern vanished. Yun Tianyu left the Nan family with ease and arrived at the outskirts of Yannan City, where the lush and towering trees intertwined, blocking out the sun. It is said that deep within lies the lightless forest, home to powerful earth beasts.

Upon entering the Lightless Forest, Yun Tianyu assessed the direction and began to race swiftly through the forest. After approximately one hour, a thicket over one meter high suddenly shook violently not far ahead of Yun Tianyu.

Since you have rested well, let us leave this place and find a forest. I will guide you in practicing the Illusory Palm to enhance your strength

A terrifyingly powerful palm heavily struck the black bear's thick, dark chest, producing a series of crisp sounds as its bones shattered. With a single blow, the massive black bear was sent flying, and a large amount of internal organ fragments were expelled from its mouth, resulting in instant death

Approximately seventy-five days later, Yun Tianyu, who had hunted over two hundred spirit beasts with the assistance of the Dark Lord, had essentially mastered the Void Palm technique

Under the repeated reminders of the Dark Overlord, Yun Tianyu's mastery of the Illusory Palm grew increasingly proficient. The indistinct yet tangible palm energy completely suppressed the fierce waves of attacks from the Black Bear, causing a significant amount of blood to spray from its gaping maw filled with sharp fangs

This simple yet formidable demon lord nodded, floating above Yun Tianyu's head, assisting him in protecting his law. As Yun Tianyu practiced the Original Source Time Technique, he frantically absorbed the rich wood spiritual energy of the Lightless Forest. After replenishing his consumed true essence, he continued to delve deeper into the Lightless Forest, persistently searching for spirit beasts to hunt

Very good, very good! You have seized the opportunity exceptionally well! It seems that your years as an assassin have cultivated in you a strong sense of insight and the ability to seize opportunities. Witnessing Yun Tianyu grasp the moment and deliver a decisive blow to the Level 3 spirit beast, the Black Bear, the Dark Lord revealed a satisfied smile

How have you been resting? The Dark Lord sensed that Yun Tianyu was waking from his slumber through the time-space dream, and immediately conveyed his thoughts.

I have already rested and my strength has fully recovered, Yun Tianyu responded through thought transmission

Hmm! After enduring seventy-five days of brutal battles in the forest, your body's potential has been awakened, just like in the *illustrations*. At this moment, consuming the elixir can accelerate your advancement in realm," said the dark and sinister demon lord in a low voice.

But just as the black bear was about to escape, Yun Tianyu seized the opportunity, suddenly increasing his speed threefold, and appeared at the blood-stained chest of the black bear

However, to fully unleash the supreme power of the Void Illusion Palm, Yun Tianyu must reach the Dao Spirit realm. With Yun Tianyu currently at the second-level Dao Master realm, he can only exert thirty percent of the power of the Void Illusion Palm

"Alright, I will inform the master, and then we will go to the Lightless Forest for training," Yun Tianyu nodded, made some simple preparations, and arrived at Nan Hongpeng's room.

"Tian Yu, the Kong Huan Palm, as a top-tier earth technique, must be perfected in battle. Therefore, if you wish to master the Kong Huan Palm quickly, you must hunt at least three spirit beasts of comparable strength to yourself every day. In this way, within a maximum of seven days, you will be able to master the Kong Huan Palm." The Great Demon King floated out of the temporal dream realm and conveyed the training plan he had devised to Yun Tian Yu.

After consuming three thousand five hundred low-grade spirit stones to purchase the Vein Nurturing Pill, Nan Hongpeng's complexion appeared somewhat better than before, yet his spirit remained negative.

Black bear. Upon noticing unusual movements ahead, Yun Tianyu immediately slowed his pace and cautiously approached. When he was three meters away from the violently shaking bushes, a massive black bear suddenly emerged from the thicket, opening its mouth filled with sharp fangs, and let out a deafening roar directed at Yun Tianyu

Although the third-level spirit beast, the black bear, which possesses Beast Dan, is more powerful than a third-level Daoist, with strength and abilities far surpassing those of Yun Tianyu, Yun Tianyu showed no fear. He nodded and, utilizing the threefold speed enhancement of the time-space dream realm, launched a fierce attack on the roaring black bear. Waves of illusory palm strikes fell like raindrops upon the black bear's slow-reacting, tough-skinned body, causing it to roar in pain. After enhancing his speed threefold with the time-space dream realm, he launched a fierce attack on the roaring black bear, with waves of illusory palm strikes raining down on the black bear's slow-reacting, tough-skinned body, causing it to roar in pain.

During the fierce battle between Yun Tianyu and the black bear, the foundational time and space technique he practiced played a significant role. Through Yun Tianyu's body, the wood spiritual energy from the jungle was continuously absorbed to replenish the true essence consumed by his use of the Illusory Palm.

Master, do not underestimate your disciple; I have grown up! Master, please take a good rest. I am preparing to go out for a period of cultivation. I believe it won't be long before you will once again become the pride of the Nan family. Yun Tianyu felt that Nan Hongpeng had sensed something, and with a slight smile, he changed the subject.

This is a prescription I accidentally found while cultivating in the Lightless Forest a few days ago. Master, rest assured, I will gather the materials for refining the Restoration Pill as soon as possible said Yun Tianyu, fabricating a story.

Very well. Tianyu, you have now basically mastered the Void Palm, enhancing your attack power. We can head back. Once we return to Yannan City, we will visit the herbal shop to see if there are suitable materials for alchemy. I am prepared to help you refine pills to enhance your strength. The Dark Lord looked at Yun Tianyu, who had grasped the Void Palm after seventy-five days of intense battles, and nodded in satisfaction, softly suggesting.

"Master, I have good news for you. I have found a method to heal your severed meridians. It won't be long before you can recover." In order to inspire Nan Hongpeng's will, Yun Tianyu shared with him the effects and the refining method of the Recovery Pill.

The floating Dark Lord observed the battle between Yun Tianyu and the Level 3 Spirit Beast, the Black Bear, and continuously voiced corrections regarding some errors in Yun Tianyu's execution of the Illusory Palm, stating that the force was insufficient, the illusions were not realistic enough, and the position of the palm strike was off.

Good! Be careful with everything, Master is waiting for your good news. From the recent change of topic by Yun Tianyu, Nan Hongpeng was convinced that Yun Tianyu might have had some extraordinary experience, and did not ask further, saying with relief.

With the full force of Yun Tianyu's operation, he infused two streams of true essence into his palm, executing the Empty Illusion Palm with a fluid grace. A third-level spirit beast, the black wolf, was instantly reduced to a pulp by the illusory yet substantial energy of the palm strike, even causing a crack to appear on the surface of the beast's core, which was the hardest part of its body. The power of the high-grade technique, Empty Illusion Palm, was unmistakably revealed

After battling for more than half an hour with the third-level spirit beast, the Black Bear, Yun Tianyu, who was covered in wounds and had multiple injuries, finally felt that his injuries were too severe, and a thought of retreat began to arise in his heart

Alchemy! Due to the influence of Nan Hongpeng, Yun Tianyu has hardly consumed any elixirs to enhance his strength while at the Nan family. It can be said that Yun Tianyu's power has been cultivated step by step through his own efforts.
