    Chapter 449

    Inside the laboratory, Su Hao stood bathed in the white radiance of the rune array, quietly waiting for the transformation of his spiritual power to finish.

    After an unknown amount of time, the glow gradually faded.

    Yashan withdrew his Black Crystal Armor, returned from his Earth Lord form, and eagerly asked,

    "Boss Wei, give it a try. See if you can use the Wind Escape Technique now."

    Without replying, Su Hao simply closed his eyes.

    The next instant, spiritual power surged from his body as a powerful current of wind formed around him. His figure rose effortlessly into the air. After swaying slightly left and right to find his balance, he stabilized himself, floating calmly in midair.

    Yashan clenched his fist in excitement.

    "It worked!"

    Su Hao leisurely flew two circles around the laboratory before descending back to the ground.

    A smile appeared on his face.

    "It feels quite good."

    "Three years of research in exchange for learning a spell in two hours..."

    "That's an excellent return."

    If those same three years had been spent cultivating spells one by one, a cultivator would probably only master twenty or thirty techniques at best.

    Now, after establishing the Spell Implantation method, learning new techniques had become almost effortless. As long as the Activator rune operated for two hours, followed by a little practice and memorizing the appropriate hand seals, the spell was essentially mastered.

    Yashan nodded repeatedly.

    "Exactly."

    "Once you've mastered the underlying laws and possess a set of universal rune tools, controlling those laws becomes incredibly easy."

    "The power of knowledge really is extraordinary."

    Su Hao smiled.

    "Very well."

    "I've accepted the results of this project."

    "Once you reach the Foundation Establishment Realm, I'll assign you the next research project."

    Yashan grinned happily.

    "Understood, Boss Wei!"


    ---

    After Yashan left, Su Hao took out the three Soul Annihilation techniques once again.

    Looking at the manuals spread before him, he muttered,

    "Since spells can be implanted..."

    "There's no need to choose."

    "I'll implant all three."

    At this point, calling it "cultivation" no longer seemed appropriate.

    It was now simply...

    implantation.

    Without realizing it, Su Hao's path had drifted farther and farther away from that of a traditional cultivator.


    ---

    Golden Diamond Armor flowed beneath his feet as another massive rune array rapidly took shape.

    Su Hao picked up the Life-Ending Heart-Piercing Drill manual and entered a meditative state.

    "First, cultivate the spell normally."

    "Then let the Composite Collection rune gather all the required data."

    Two hours later, the collection process was complete.

    "The next step is matching it to my own spiritual power and modifying the Activator accordingly."

    He proceeded methodically.

    Another two hours later, all preparations had been completed.

    "Now..."

    "The final step."

    "Spell implantation."

    Su Hao injected spiritual power into the Activator rune.

    The rune array immediately came alive.

    Soft white light illuminated the entire formation before shooting upward onto the ceiling.

    After confirming everything was operating correctly, Su Hao stepped into the center of the array, closed his eyes, and quietly waited for the transformation to finish.

    The process lasted another two hours.

    Apart from his spiritual power becoming unusually active, there was little sensation. Nevertheless, Su Hao remained fully focused in case anything unexpected occurred.

    Eventually, the white light slowly faded.

    Su Hao opened his eyes.

    He casually extended one finger.

    Golden light rapidly gathered at its tip before condensing into an intensely brilliant point.

    The next instant—

    Puff!

    A golden beam shot forward, effortlessly piercing the laboratory wall and leaving behind a perfectly circular hole.

    The Life-Ending Heart-Piercing Drill possessed astonishing penetrating power.

    Against an ordinary cultivator, it would not merely bore a hole through the body. The technique would instantly erode all spiritual power inside the target, causing complete collapse.

    After successfully casting it once, Su Hao immediately grasped the essence of Soul Annihilation techniques.

    "So that's how it works..."

    "It's very similar to combustion."

    "The Heart-Piercing Drill creates every condition necessary for 'ignition,' allowing spiritual power to undergo a chain reaction until it burns itself out completely."

    Anyone capable of creating a Soul Annihilation technique...

    was undoubtedly a genius.

    Su Hao practiced the spell for a while until he completely memorized the required hand seals.

    Only then did he turn his attention toward the remaining two techniques—

    Bone-Corrosion Soul Devouring Technique and Soul-Splitting Finger.

    "I'll implant them both."

    "Then compare all three and identify their common principles."

    "Once I've done that..."

    "Finding a countermeasure shouldn't be difficult."


    ---

    Five days later...

    Su Hao had successfully implanted virtually every spell he possessed, ranging from the Foundation Establishment Realm to the Golden Core Realm and even the Nascent Soul Realm.

    These included techniques such as Wind Escape Technique, Sunlit Flying Sword, Arc-Light Flowing Wind Barrier, Spring Breeze Returning Shadow, Mountain-Suppressing Wind Seal, Wind Erosion Technique, Mist Wind Concealment, Eightfold Qi Manifestation, Hundred Life Arrows, and many others.

    Naturally, Feng Qianye's inheritance had not been overlooked either.

    Wind Spirit Seal, Azure Edge Slash, Pattern Heart Art, Thousand-Mile Wind Travel...

    Every technique had been implanted successfully.

    Within only five days, Su Hao had mastered a vast collection of spells.

    The process had been surprisingly simple.

    He nodded with satisfaction.

    "Now..."

    "It's time to research methods of resisting Soul Annihilation techniques."


    ---

    Regardless of the form a cultivator's spiritual power took, the moment it encountered a Soul Annihilation technique...

    it behaved like dry fuel meeting an open flame.

    Ignition occurred almost instantly.

    "Then why can spirit stones resist them?"

    "Perhaps the answer lies there."

    Two days later...

    Su Hao abandoned that line of thought.

    Although both contained "spiritual power," the energy inside spirit stones was fundamentally different from the spiritual power within living cultivators.

    Spirit stones were essentially no different from ordinary rocks.

    Trying to imitate them held little value.

    "So..."

    "What options remain?"

    "The possibilities are simple."

    "Isolation."

    "Extinguishing the reaction before it spreads."

    "Or preventing combustion altogether."


    ---

    The Counterspace Barrier already provided isolation.

    However, after his encounter with Feng Jiutai, Su Hao had realized a serious flaw.

    If the Soul Annihilation attack reached him before he could deploy the barrier...

    he would still be hit.

    Therefore, Counterspace Barrier could only serve as one layer of defense.

    It could never be his only safeguard.

    If someday he failed to deploy it in time...

    the consequences would be fatal.

    A Soul Annihilation technique wouldn't merely destroy his spiritual power.

    It would collapse his entire body.

    Even the regenerative abilities of the Life Bearer wouldn't be enough to save him.

    As for extinguishing the attack beforehand...

    After pondering for a long time, Su Hao's gaze slowly settled upon the Activator rune.

    "Perhaps..."

    "I can use an Activator in reverse."


    ---

    A plan gradually formed.

    He would inscribe a permanent rune array into the Life Bearer armor.

    That array would continuously emit a specialized wave targeting Soul Annihilation techniques.

    The moment such a technique entered its effective range...

    its ignition property would be neutralized.

    It would instantly lose its Soul Annihilation characteristic and revert to being nothing more than an ordinary attack spell.

    Like a burning arrow flying into a vacuum...

    the flames would simply go out.

    "The only remaining question..."

    "is how to extinguish the fire."


    ---

    With the direction established, success was only a matter of time.

    Ten days later, after countless revisions and experiments, Su Hao completed the first prototype.

    He called it—

    The Extinguisher.

    Its principle turned out to be far simpler than he had expected.

    Soul Annihilation techniques were merely clusters of spiritual power trapped in a semi-destructive state.

    There was no need to restore them.

    He simply needed to stimulate them prematurely, forcing them to expend their destructive potential before reaching their target.

    Once their energy burned out...

    they became harmless.

    And manipulating spiritual power...

    was already one of Su Hao's greatest strengths.


    ---

    Transforming into his Life Bearer form, Su Hao allowed golden armor to spread throughout the laboratory as countless runes rapidly took shape.

    He activated the defensive formation.

    Fragile Defense.

    A thin blue barrier immediately enveloped the room.

    Su Hao raised one finger.

    Golden light gathered once more.

    Life-Ending Heart-Piercing Drill.

    A brilliant golden beam shot forward and struck the barrier.

    Boom!

    With only a dull sound...

    the defensive formation instantly collapsed.

    The Soul Annihilation technique completely eroded it.

    Watching the shattered barrier, Su Hao laughed softly.

    "My so-called Absolute Defense..."

    "is nothing more than a joke."

    When he had originally designed that formation, every aspect of it had focused on resisting overwhelming physical force.

    If not for the existence of the Counterspace Barrier...

    he would likely have died long ago.

    Taking a slow breath, Su Hao quietly said,

    "There is no such thing as absolute defense."

    "There is only insufficient understanding."

    "I..."

    "was too arrogant."

    From that day onward...

    he permanently renamed Absolute Defense.

    Its new name was—

    Fragile Defense.

    Not because it had truly become fragile...

    but because every time he used it, he wanted to remind himself of one simple truth.

    Never trust a defensive technique so completely that you stop dodging attacks.

    Arrogance...

    is the shortest path to death.
