Voidshade Symphony

As the star projectiles neared the entrance of the cave, they effortlessly pierced through the solid rock, leaving behind perfectly circular holes. The sound of crumbling stone echoed through the chamber as the projectiles continued on their path, disappearing into the darkness beyond.

A sense of satisfaction washed over him as he witnessed the destructive force of his new technique. His training had paid off.

With a mere thought, he commanded the remaining orbs to suspend in mid-air, their celestial glow casting an ethereal ambiance within the cave. Retrieving a small notebook from his pocket, he scribbled down his observations and thoughts about the technique. His meticulous mind analyzed every detail, seeking ways to improve and optimize its potency.

He noticed that the star projectiles had displayed incredible speed and accuracy, but there was room for enhancement. Contemplating the intricate connection he felt with the celestial orbs, he wondered if he could further synchronize their movements with his own, creating a more fluid and seamless assault.

With a thought he summoned the orbs back to him, their bright brilliance dimming slightly as they regrouped. This time, instead of projecting them outward, he visualized the orbs dancing in a graceful and intricate pattern, mirroring his own movements.

As if responding to his mental command, the orbs began to spin and twirl in a mesmerizing display of astral choreography. Their movements were swift and coordinated, resembling an astral ballet.

Not only could he unleash devastating attacks on his enemies, but he could also utilize the orbs as a form of defense, creating a swirling shield of astral light.

Surrounded by the ethereal glow of the orbs and the lingering astral light, he pondered his own cultivation progress. Having reached the peak of the spirit severing level, he compared himself to Bai Shaun and Mi Ling.

If Mi Ling were to unleash her full power, she could rival an average mid-stage Dao integration realm cultivator. On the other hand, Bai Shuan had a better chance of defeating one. This indicated that his own battle prowess should be on par with late-stage Dao integration cultivators or even equal to one.

Both Bai Shaun and Mi Ling possessed unique physiques. However, Mi Ling's physique didn't provide a direct enhancement to her battle prowess, unlike Bai Shaun's heavenly dao physique.

A cultivator with a heavenly dao physique, even without a high-ranked one, could be considered a four-flame cultivator in the lower domains. On the other hand, Mi Ling's battle prowess after unleashing her Seven-Colored Armor could be compared to that of a three-flame cultivator.

He then proceeded to assess his own combat abilities, musing to himself, "Since my physical body has reached the pinnacle of the initial stage of dao integration following the recent bloodline enhancement, I can confidently say that in my complete serpent form, I would be equivalent to the early stage."

" As for the partial transformation, it should approximate the initial stage of the early stage. Considering the employment of the crimson serpent sword, my infernal powers, and my improved understanding of the void dao, I could likely match someone at the late stage of dao integration. In fact, I believe I might even surpass Bai Shaun in terms of power. However, this is only true if I haven't yet harnessed the Starfall Barrage and the capabilities of my void-piercing eyes in battle. Since I haven't put them to the test yet, I cannot be entirely certain."

After taking a moment to contemplate his thoughts, a lighthearted chuckle escaped his lips. "It's rather uncommon to encounter a dao integration cultivator,"

"Apart from Drunken Sword, who was seriously injured, my knowledge of their abilities is somewhat limited. Except for the fact that they possess control over the power of Dao, which ordinary spirit-severing cultivators lack. Naturally, this doesn't apply to individuals like me and those who possess special physiques," he mused.

Letting go of these thoughts distracting Liang's eyes flashed with anticipation, although the Starfall Barrage technique is formidable but to him, it cannot be compared to the one he is going to cultivate now - the Voidshade Symphony Technique.

This technique combines the power of Shadow, Mirage, and Echo into a harmonious blend that amplifies the cultivator's ability to deceive, disorient, and incapacitate their opponents.

The cultivator of the Voidshade Symphony technique must have a deep understanding of the void dao and mastery over the intricate balance of void qi. They undergo rigorous training to synchronize their mind, body, and spirit with the essence of darkness, sound, and illusion. As It is composed of three symphonies :

The first is the' Shadow Symphony'. By merging with the essence of the void, the cultivator can seamlessly blend with the shadows, rendering themselves nearly invisible. They can manipulate darkness and concealment to create illusory shadows that deceive the senses of their adversaries. This allows the cultivator to move swiftly and strike from unexpected angles, making it an ideal technique for stealthy assassinations or covert operations.

The second symphony is inclined more towards the mind it's known as the 'Mirage Symphony'.By tapping into the power of the void, the cultivator can manipulate the fabric of space and time, creating intricate illusions that transcend the boundaries of reality. These mirages mimic people, objects, or entire landscapes, convincingly deceiving even the most vigilant adversaries. Mirage Symphony enables the cultivator to manipulate the perceptions of their opponents, causing them to make crucial mistakes or lose focus in battle.

As for the third it's known as 'Echo Symphony'. By harnessing the deep resonance of the void, the cultivator can manipulate sound waves to create haunting echoes that disorient and confuse their opponents. By skillfully controlling vibrations in the air, they generate deafening noise or eerie whispers that seem to come from all directions. Echo Symphony impairs the opponent's ability to communicate and perceive their surroundings while playing upon their primal fears, making them vulnerable to subsequent attacks.

Liang dedicated himself to cultivating each symphony of the Voidshade Technique in a slow and detailed manner. He understood that rushing the process would lead to incomplete mastery and hinder his progress in the long run. He approached each symphony with patience and perseverance, practicing countless times to perfect his techniques.

Liang sat cross-legged in a secluded training ground, his eyes closed as he focused his mind on the first symphony - the Shadow Symphony. He cleared his thoughts and delved deep into the essence of the void, feeling its darkness seep into his being. Slowly, he visualized himself becoming one with the shadows, blending seamlessly into the darkness that surrounded him.

With every breath, he inhaled the essence of the void, allowing it to flow through his veins and suffuse his body. He could feel his form becoming ethereal, his outline fading as he melded with the darkness. He spent months honing his ability to blend seamlessly with the shadows.

Next, Liang moved on to the Mirage Symphony. He opened his eyes, which were now filled with a glimmering intensity. He extended his hand, and suddenly the fabric of space and time seemed to bend and warp at his command.

Then he spent months studying the intricacies of illusion, learning to create mirages that surpassed the boundaries of reality.

Finally, Liang turned his attention to the Echo Symphony. He closed his eyes once again and allowed the resonance of the void to penetrate his being. He focused on the vibrations in the air, feeling them reverberate through his body.

Months to a year passed between each symphony, as Liang understood the importance of integration and balance. He allowed himself time to fully absorb and embody the essence of each symphony before moving on to the next. Patience was his virtue, and he knew that rushing would only lead to superficial growth.
