Chapter 1023 - Unbearable Pain
Yuan closed his eyes and began reciting the nameless technique inside his head.
About an hour later, the Huang Family could see a red aura emanating from Yuan's body, and he gave off the feeling of a wild beast who thirsted for blood.
"Y-Yuan? Are you okay?" Huang Xiao Li asked him in a nervous voice, as the pressure coming from him was quite overwhelming.
He opened his eyes and nodded with a calm expression, "Don't worry, I am fine. It's just a new technique that I recently learned."
Meanwhile, in the spectator's room, Li Jinxi stared at Yuan and his red aura with wide eyes.
"That red aura looks very familiar…" Chu Liuxiang mumbled out loud when she saw it.
"It's my technique." Li Jinxi said.
"Huh? You taught it to him? When?"
"When he started training me. If he understood my technique, then he would be able to train me better. I didn't think he would want to learn something like that because he said that it wasn't created for humans— not that I am complaining. Since I gave him the technique, I don't mind if he uses it as well."
"A technique not created for humans? Can you use it for me? I would like to see it." Feng Yuxiang suddenly asked.
"Sure." Li Jinxi nodded.
She proceeded to activate her nameless technique, showing off her red aura that looked just like the one surrounding Yuan at this moment.
"I see… The Young Master is right. This technique does give off a beastly vibe, and it's a fairly strong one. Is it a Divine-rank technique?"
Li Jinxi nodded, "My family always thought it was only a Heaven-rank technique for some reason."
It wasn't until she learned the technique in Cultivation Online that she found out the technique was actually a Divine-rank technique and not a mere Heaven-rank technique.
"Do you know what kind of beast this technique was created for?" Li Jinxi asked.
Feng Yuxiang narrowed her eyes and pondered for a moment before speaking, "I have a feeling that I have encountered that kind of aura before, but I cannot remember when or where. Sorry."
"It's fine." Li Jinxi shook her head.
"Do you know the origin of the technique?" Feng Yuxiang then asked.
"I do not. It's been with my family since ancient times."
"Your surname is Li, right? If I recall correctly, there is a well known family with that surname in the Third Heaven, and they're all beast tamers that utilize the power of beasts. Maybe they know something about it."
"I guess we'll find out when we get there."
Half an hour later, Yuan's carriage encountered another magical beast.
This time, he did not use Heavenly Splitting Sword Strike. Instead, he used the nameless technique and confronted the magical beast head-on with the Empyrean Overlord.
Sha!
The Empyrean Overlord sliced through the magical beast as though it was tofu, and Yuan noticed his aura growing a little stronger when he killed the magic beast.
[Nameless Technique]
[Rank: Divine]
[Description: Increases your overall strength and removes the limit on your body to a certain extent.]
The Nameless Technique was a simple yet profound technique that is more than it appears.
Yuan looked at the red aura that covered his body after killing the magical beast, feeling an overwhelming sense of strength.
However, right as he was getting comfortable with the nameless technique, Yuan suddenly felt an intense sensation of pain coming from his heart, almost like he was having a heart attack.
He immediately knelt on the ground and clenched his chest.
"Argh!" He screamed out loud.
The pain coming from his heart was many times stronger than his worst body tempering session, and it felt like his heart was being torn apart.
"Yuan?! Are you okay?!" The Huang Family was shocked when they saw this.
However, Yuan did not hear them speaking at all, as a deafening voice was resounding inside his head at this moment.
'How dare you use another aura when you already have Heaven's Supremacy!'
This deep voice sounded very familiar to Yuan, but he does not recall where he had heard it— not that he was in the condition to ponder.
The Huang Family then watched as a golden aura began emanating from Yuan's body, quickly consuming the red aura.
Eventually, the red aura was completely replaced with the golden aura.
The pain stopped shortly after, and Yuan was finally able to take a deep breath.
'What the hell happened just now?! What was that voice?!' He cried inwardly, his body soaked in cold sweat as the painful sensation still lingered in his body.
"Yuan!" Huang Xiao Li jumped off the carriage and rushed over to see his condition.
"Your face is so pale! What happened to you?!" She was shocked when she saw his ghastly complexion.
"I think I experienced some kind of backlash… I should be fine after some rest…" He said.
Huang Xiao Li supported Yuan with her shoulder until they returned to the carriage.
"Here, eat this Spirit Replenishing Pill. It should help you." Huang Chen handed him a pill that restored his spiritual energy.
Even though he barely used his spiritual energy, Yuan still consumed the pill, and he could feel a burst of refreshing energy spreading throughout his entire body.
While he rested, Yuan tried to recall where he had heard that voice before.
'That's right! I remember now! I heard that voice during one of my dreams!' He finally recalled.
However, that only made the situation even more puzzling.
'Why did I hear that voice just now? It mentioned Heaven's Supremacy… Is that the name of that mysterious aura?' He wondered inwardly as the carriage continued moving.
'The voice sounded angry when I used the nameless technique… Almost like it has its own consciousness, but how is that possible?'
Yuan pondered and pondered, but he was unable to understand with this tiny amount of information.
'Should I use the nameless technique again to see if it will happen again?' He wondered inwardly, yet he was hesitant to do so, mostly because he didn't want to experience that unbearable pain again.
