    Chapter 447 (Revised)

    Su Hao's confidence when facing Unity Realm cultivators came from understanding them more deeply than most people.

    To him, Unity cultivators were not mysterious beings standing beyond comprehension.

    They were simply cultivators who possessed a unique breakthrough method and several powerful techniques.

    From Su Hao's perspective, once their secrets were understood, they were no fundamentally different from anyone else.

    Most importantly...

    He had already found a direction for countering them.


    ---

    During the past year, while organizing the countless cultivation manuals he had collected, Su Hao finally found detailed records describing the technique that had once wounded him.

    It was the technique used by Feng Jiutai.

    Soul Annihilation Technique.

    It was also commonly known throughout the cultivation world as the Poison of Spiritual Power.

    When a cultivator above the Golden Core Realm activated the Soul Annihilation Technique, their spiritual power entered a special unstable state that constantly leaned toward collapse.

    Once this corrupted spiritual power entered another cultivator's body, it immediately infected the target's own spiritual power.

    The corruption spread like wildfire.

    One portion contaminated another...

    Then another...

    Until the victim's entire spiritual power system collapsed.

    If spiritual power were compared to a cloud of combustible gas...

    Then the Soul Annihilation Technique was a spark.

    Once that spark entered the gas cloud...

    Everything ignited.

    There was no way to extinguish it.


    ---

    Because of its terrifying lethality, nearly every high-level cultivator learned some variation of the Soul Annihilation Technique.

    Not to attack...

    But to survive.

    The Life-Ending Heart-Piercing Drill that Su Hao had encountered in the Broad Abyss Sea belonged to this family of techniques.

    Its greatest strength was its terrifying ability to erode spiritual power itself.

    Ordinary spiritual shields were almost useless against it.

    Once struck...

    Death was nearly certain.

    Only specially constructed defensive barriers powered directly by spirit stones could effectively block such attacks.

    In Su Hao's view, Soul Annihilation Techniques were essentially poisons that specifically targeted the "living" characteristics of spiritual power.


    ---

    Because these techniques became widespread throughout the cultivation world...

    The style of combat gradually changed.

    Cultivators increasingly preferred fighting from long range.

    They relied on techniques, flying artifacts, and defensive treasures powered by spirit stones.

    Close-quarters combat gradually disappeared.

    Eventually...

    Only mortal martial artists still fought face-to-face.


    ---

    Fortunately...

    Soul Annihilation Techniques had weaknesses.

    Before reaching the Unity Realm:

    They had no effect on the naturally stable spiritual power contained inside spirit stones.

    They were relatively slow to activate.

    Their flight speed was limited, making them easier to dodge if sufficient distance was maintained.


    Unfortunately...

    These limitations largely disappeared once a cultivator entered the Unity Realm.


    ---

    For Unity cultivators...

    Soul Annihilation Techniques became effortless.

    Their activation speed became instantaneous.

    Against anyone below the Unity Realm...

    Whoever was targeted would almost certainly die.

    Su Hao quickly understood why.

    "A Unity cultivator possesses multiple sources of spiritual power inside their body."

    "They can sacrifice external spiritual power while preserving their own."

    "In other words..."

    "They can freely activate Soul Annihilation Techniques without worrying about the backlash."

    Even if another Unity cultivator struck them with the same technique...

    Only the borrowed spiritual power would be destroyed.

    Their original spiritual power remained unharmed.


    ---

    After compiling everything he had learned, Su Hao summarized the advantages possessed by Unity cultivators.

    First.

    They possessed extraordinarily long lifespans.

    Second.

    Below the Unity Realm, almost no one could withstand Soul Annihilation Techniques.

    Third.

    Their Spiritual Intent covered an enormous range, making ambushes extremely difficult.

    Fourth.

    Both the quality and quantity of their spiritual power greatly surpassed ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators, giving them tremendous endurance.

    Fifth.

    They controlled vast resources and entire sects beneath them, rarely exposing themselves personally.


    ---

    After considering every point...

    Su Hao smiled.

    "So..."

    "The only genuine threat they pose to me..."

    "is Soul Annihilation."

    Nothing else truly concerned him.

    Lifespan?

    Who could outlast someone capable of reincarnating endlessly?

    Detection range?

    His perception techniques were already sufficient to prevent opponents from locking onto him reliably.

    Quantity of spiritual power?

    He possessed more than enough.

    Resources?

    If necessary...

    He could simply take them.

    After all...

    He had become rather experienced at that.


    ---

    "So the current priority is obvious."

    "First, learn the Soul Annihilation Technique."

    "Then study it thoroughly."

    "And finally..."

    "Develop a perfect countermeasure."

    "I can't spend my entire life carrying spirit stones around."


    ---

    Three manuals appeared before him.

    Life-Ending Heart-Piercing Drill

    Bone-Corrosion Soul-Devouring Technique

    Spirit-Severing Finger


    Su Hao rubbed his chin thoughtfully.

    He was just about to choose one for detailed study when a message suddenly arrived.

    It was from Yashan.

    > Boss Wei, the "Research into the Transformation Laws of Multiple Spiritual Power Properties" project is basically complete!

    I've organized everything into a Universal Assistant application so it'll be easier to use.

    I've also prepared the complete research records.

    Whenever you're free, I'll come explain everything in person.



    Attached were a large research archive...

    And an application package.


    ---

    Su Hao immediately opened the files.

    The archive contained every stage of Yashan's research over the past three years.

    Every experiment.

    Every failure.

    Every modification.

    Every conclusion.

    Even the problems encountered and the reasoning behind each solution had been carefully documented.

    Finally...

    Everything had been integrated into a practical application.

    After nearly a full day of reading...

    Su Hao finally closed the file.

    A smile slowly appeared on his face.

    "Excellent."

    "The timing couldn't be better."

    "I was just preparing to study Soul Annihilation Techniques."

    "This research is exactly what I need."


    ---

    He immediately replied.

    > Yashan.

    Well done.

    Come to Laboratory Two.




    ---

    Soon afterward...

    Su Hao arrived at the second laboratory.

    Yashan quickly responded.

    > Understood, Boss Wei!



    Not long later...

    Yashan skillfully opened the formation protecting the laboratory and walked inside.


    ---

    Although he had already spent nearly two years researching teleportation...

    He was still far from succeeding.

    The greatest obstacle remained reproducing the movement laws of the spatial spiritual tentacles.

    At his current pace...

    It would probably require another three to five years.


    ---

    Seeing Yashan's excited expression...

    Su Hao couldn't help smiling.

    "Nicely done."

    "I originally estimated this project would take at least five years."

    "You finished it in only three."

    "You've saved me a great deal of time."


    ---

    Yashan laughed loudly.

    "It's all because Boss Wei designed such a perfect research framework."

    "I merely followed your plan."

    "But..."

    "Completing an entire project independently..."

    "That feeling is incredible!"

    His face shone with excitement.

    "Boss Wei..."

    "I think I've finally learned how to design research plans myself."

    "For the next project..."

    "Can you let me handle everything independently?"


    ---

    Su Hao smiled.

    "I praise you once and you've already become overconfident."

    "Fine."

    "I'll assign you the next project."

    "You'll design the research plan yourself."

    "But before you begin experimenting..."

    "Let me review it first."

    "I don't want you wasting months walking down the wrong path."


    ---

    Yashan nodded enthusiastically.

    "Understood!"

    "If I get stuck, I'll ask for your guidance."


    ---

    Su Hao suddenly remembered something.

    "Have you received the Qi Induction Senior Disciple Token yet?"

    Yashan immediately took a small crimson token from his waist.

    "I received it two months ago after the sect competition."


    ---

    Su Hao nodded.

    "Good."

    "Then you're ready for Foundation Establishment."

    "There are two options."

    "First."

    "You follow the traditional Yue Lineage Foundation Establishment method."

    "It's proven and reliable."

    "At minimum, it can carry you safely to the Nascent Soul Realm."

    "Second."

    "I personally design a completely new Foundation Establishment method for you."

    "It will also verify many of my theories and provide valuable experimental data for future cultivation research."


    ---

    Yashan answered without hesitation.

    "The second."

    "A brand-new path is far more valuable."


    ---

    Su Hao smiled.

    "Very well."

    "Wait a little longer."

    "I'll organize a new Foundation Establishment method for you."

    After a brief pause, he added,

    "Feng Cheng has also reached the fourth level of Qi Induction."

    "His cultivation path is somewhat special."

    "Tell him to wait as well."

    "I'll prepare a breakthrough method specifically for him."


    ---

    "Understood, Boss Wei."


    ---

    Su Hao then opened the application Yashan had developed.

    At the same time, he projected its interface directly into Yashan's consciousness.

    Looking at the countless transformation pathways displayed within the program, Su Hao smiled.

    "Alright."

    "Explain your Spiritual Power Property Transformation Factory."

    "Let's see whether your research performs exactly as you claimed."
