Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law-Chapter 750 - 749: Bipolar Stack Hammering

"Qingxue, who was that person just now? To actually refuse your invitation," Gongsun Yao said with a smile.

"I don’t know her. She knows the Eighty-One Stack Hammering Technique of our Heavenly Spirit Realm’s Immortal Hall, so I wanted to get some clarity. But it seems he didn’t want to have anything to do with me," Dongfang Qingxue responded.

"The Eighty-One Stack Hammering Technique? Isn’t that a technique created by a previous Immortal Emperor of your Immortal Hall?" Gongsun Yao asked in surprise.

"That’s right, and that’s what puzzles me. My father said he was fortunate to receive the Immortal Emperor’s legacy, which is why the technique has not been lost. There definitely shouldn’t be anyone else in this world who knows the technique, so I’m curious as to how he also knows it," Dongfang Qingxue said with confusion.

"So, could it be that the Immortal Emperor left his legacy in other places as well?" Gongsun Yao mused.

"That shouldn’t be the case. The Immortal Emperor himself said that the technique was incomplete and wouldn’t easily pass it on to others," Dongfang Qingxue asserted confidently.

"Then why would this person know the technique?" Gongsun Yao also looked puzzled.

"It’s precisely because it’s strange that I wanted to get to the bottom of it. Let’s not talk about this anymore. You’ve come this time for the Divine Fire, right?" Dongfang Qingxue asked.

"Yes, for the Divine Fire. The Yin poison inside me has become hard to suppress and I fear it won’t be long before it erupts. Once the Yin poison bursts, it won’t be as simple as death. It’s very likely I won’t be able to control myself due to the desires formed by the poison," Gongsun Yao said.

A hint of solemnity flashed through Dongfang Qingxue’s eyes.

She had also examined the Yin poison within Gongsun Yao and found it to be extremely terrifying. Once such poison formed strong desires, Gongsun Yao might indeed struggle to control her own body.

At that time, there might be big trouble.

"Don’t worry, I will definitely try my best to secure first place and then use the Divine Fire to expel your poison," Dongfang Qingxue said determinedly.

"Thank you, Qingxue. I am only a High Grade Artifact Refiner; getting first place is completely out of the question, so all my hopes are pinned on you," Gongsun Yao said.

"I will do my best. However, this time there are quite a few refining talents. To my knowledge, there are no fewer than ten Superior Grade Artifact Refiners. To win first place, I must produce a Semi-Divine Artifact, but I’m not yet confident in doing so," Dongfang Qingxue said gravely.

"Do the best you can, I won’t blame you even if it’s not successful," Gongsun Yao replied.

Dongfang Qingxue nodded, then took Gongsun Yao’s hand and left the place together.

After having drinks with Zhang Zhantian, Xu Ping’an returned to his residence.

He didn’t waste any time but pondered over the Eighty-One Stack Hammering Technique.

Dongfang Qingxue was right; the Eighty-One Stack Hammering Technique was not perfect, which is why he didn’t pass it on in his previous life.

In his view, it seemed that the technique was just one step short.

Yet, despite much deliberation, he hadn’t found a way to break through.

His artifact refining today, however, had led to some gains.

He felt he might be able to make further progress with the Stack Hammering Technique.

The so-called Stack Hammering is essentially using the superposition of force to create a superimposed effect, capable of delivering eighty-one superimposed forces in an instant.

He believed that since it involved superposition of force, it should be possible to keep stacking indefinitely.

Why then was it that beyond the eighty-first layer, stacking seemed impossible?

Could eighty-one really be the ultimate number, beyond which no further stacking could be done?

Of course, during his earlier artifact refining, he had an epiphany.

The Stack Hammering Technique actually involves the Soul Power bursting forth eighty-one times in a short duration, causing the stack to collapse if surpassed.

But if he could consider these eighty-one bursts as one major eruption,

then, in an instant, he could achieve two such major eruptions.

However, to complete two such complete massive eruptions in a brief period is unimaginably difficult.

But if it could be done, his strength would undoubtedly multiply exponentially.

A single strike would be equivalent to releasing one hundred and sixty-two hammers’ force.

Such an increase would be incredibly terrifying.

Xu Ping’an named this massive outburst the "Two-pole Stack Hammering," implying a stacking of two limits.

"Now, my True Power, Elemental Force, and Soul Power have reached a natural balance through the circulation of the Grand Circulation,"

"That means, the three kinds of powers are now fully interconnected. Once I cultivate, all three can be improved, instead of enhancing just one."

Xu Ping’an murmured to himself.

The balance of the three powers brought him immense benefits.

He found that the Immortal Elemental Force formed under this balance was the most powerful.

Moreover, under this balanced state, controlling these three powers, as well as the Immortal Elemental, was extremely easy and smooth.

This was also the confidence Xu Ping’an had for attempting the outburst of the Two-pole Stack Hammering.

Now, using his Soul Power to achieve a limit stack was not a difficult task.

If he could perform two limit stacks at the same moment and then stack them together, maybe he could complete the Two-pole Stack Hammering.

With that thought, Xu Ping’an began to try.

However, after several attempts, Xu Ping’an still failed.

"After each limit burst, trying to connect to a second one always results in a sign that the Soul Power can’t connect. Is my approach incorrect?" Xu Ping’an frowned tightly.

He tried several more times, all ending in failure.

It was either the second limit burst failing to stack perfectly, or as soon as the second limit burst was formed, the power from the first limit burst had already dissipated.

Thus, stacking the two powers together couldn’t form a perfect fusion.

Nor could it create the effect of the Two-pole Stack Hammering.

"Where exactly is the problem?" Xu Ping’an said to himself.

The repeated failures were quite a headache for Xu Ping’an.

He even doubted that achieving two limit bursts was almost impossible.

"Eh, how did I not think of that?" Suddenly, Xu Ping’an’s eyes lit up, a new idea emerging in his mind.

If his Soul Power couldn’t perform a double limit stack in an instant, what if he had two Soul Origins?

Others might not be able to have two Soul Origins, but he could.

Not to mention two; he could manage twenty if necessary.

"Let’s try splitting my Soul Origin in two and burst simultaneously to see if I can accomplish the Two-pole Stack Hammering," Xu Ping’an said to himself.

So he did just that, immediately condensing a Soul Hammer.

Meanwhile, inside the Niwan Palace, the Soul Origin split into two, each one acting as a Soul Body performing the effect of eighty-one Stack Hammering.

Although this meant that the power of his individual limit burst decreased, the reduction was minuscule.

The two Soul Bodies displaying eighty-one Stack Hammering simultaneously managed to complete a double limit stack in an instant.

"Boom!"

With one strike, a tremendously terrifying Soul Power burst forth from the Soul Hammer, causing the entire void to tremble violently, even creating a huge void.

"Such immense power, it’s a success, the Two-pole Burst," Xu Ping’an exclaimed with elated joy.

He had actually achieved a stacking of one hundred and sixty-two hammers.

With that one strike, the force unleashed by the Soul Power was already comparable to the full-force strike of an Eleventh Rank, Ninth Layer Realm at the peak.

With this, even refining a Semi-Divine Artifact was no longer impossible.
