After returning to the cave, Yang Qi quickly absorbed and digested the secrets of the peak Martial Emperor level. He gained a detailed understanding of the world outside the endless universe, which is the world of practitioners at the peak Martial Emperor level.
Next, Yang Qi began to adapt to the changes brought about after entering the peak of the Martial Emperor. The biggest change was undoubtedly the mobilization of his origin.
Under normal circumstances, before entering the peak of the Martial Emperor, practitioners cannot mobilize the origin to bless themselves. This is also the biggest difference between the Martial Emperor peak practitioners and those below the peak of the Martial Emperor. With the blessing of the origin, both attack and defense can be greatly improved. Yang Qi was very clear about this when he first received the reward of the universe's will.
Even before Yang Qi stepped into the peak of the Martial Emperor, he was able to possess such powerful strength and means, which was greatly related to the amount of origin he could mobilize.
It was extremely rare for ordinary practitioners to receive a reward from the will of the universe after being instructed by the peak of the Martial Emperor, but Yang Qi received several rewards from the will of the universe before reaching the peak of the Martial Emperor. Although after these rewards, the origin that Yang Qi could mobilize was still far behind that of the practitioners at the peak of the Martial Emperor, Yang Qi had a huge advantage over other practitioners below the peak of the Martial Emperor.
Even without resorting to other means, and only relying on the blessing of the origin, Yang Qi can easily defeat or even kill practitioners of the same level. This is the effect of the blessing of the origin!
After reaching the peak of Martial Emperor, Yang Qi was naturally able to directly mobilize the origin like ordinary Martial Emperor practitioners. In addition to the reward from the will of the universe, the amount of origin Yang Qi could mobilize was incomparable to that of even the third level of Martial Emperor practitioners.
This also means that even if Yang Qi does not use other means, the strength and means he unleashes with the help of the origin alone is far beyond the reach of practitioners of the same level.
Yang Qi looked at the Black Phoenix Sword in his hand, his eyebrows slightly raised, and he muttered to himself, "The amount of origin I can mobilize is probably not less than that of a practitioner at the Ultimate Martial Emperor level, so why can't I fully exert the power of the Divine Origin Weapon?"
The Black Phoenix Sword is Yang Qi's natal divine weapon, and it has evolved from a pseudo-origin divine weapon. Yang Qi has already completely refined it. The reason why he couldn't fully unleash its power before was because Yang Qi had not yet reached the peak of the Martial Emperor, and the origin he could mobilize was limited.
If you want to fully unleash the power of the pseudo-source divine weapon, the origin is an extremely critical factor. If the origin mobilized is not enough, you naturally cannot fully unleash the power of the source divine weapon.
However, after Yang Qi entered the peak of Martial Emperor, the origin he could mobilize was far more than before he entered the peak of Martial Emperor. If we look at the power of the Black Phoenix Sword displayed before he entered the peak of Martial Emperor, the origin that Yang Qi can mobilize now should be enough to fully exert the power of the Black Phoenix Sword.
However, after Yang Qi used the Black Phoenix Sword, he discovered a problem. The power he could exert was indeed greatly improved, but he still could not fully unleash the power of the Black Phoenix Sword.
There seemed to be some kind of obstruction within the Black Phoenix Sword. Yang Qi had a hunch that even if he mobilized the source energy again, he would still not be able to fully unleash the power of the Black Phoenix Sword.
Obviously, this was not because Yang Qi did not mobilize enough origin, but other reasons. To be precise, it was the problem of the peak Martial Emperor cultivator himself, not Yang Qi's problem.
Yang Qi's expression condensed, and he thought to himself, "The Source Divine Weapon is a weapon that belongs to the Martial Saint Realm. Although practitioners at the peak of the Martial Emperor Realm can use some special means to create the Source Divine Weapon, as a weapon used by the Martial Saint Realm, if you want to fully exert the power of the Source Divine Weapon, I'm afraid it involves the secrets of the Martial Saint Realm, and practitioners at the Martial Emperor Realm cannot do it at all."
This is just like a Taoist soldier. If he has not yet comprehended the Tao, he cannot fully exert his power. It is also because of this that this problem cannot be solved unless he reaches the King of Martial Arts realm.
By the same token, if one wants to fully unleash the power of the Source Divine Weapon, it is likely that one can only do so by entering the Martial Saint Realm. This involves the difference between the Martial Saint Realm and the Martial Emperor Realm. This problem cannot be solved without entering the Martial Saint Realm.
Thinking of this, Yang Qi sighed helplessly, and then tried the Soul Devouring Cone, another divine weapon, and even the fake divine weapon in his hand. After trying it out, Yang Qi was more certain of this guess. He was also unable to fully exert the power of the Soul Devouring Cone. This might be related to the soul. But the other divine weapon was a sword-shaped divine weapon, which had no such restrictions, but Yang Qi still could not fully exert its power.
As for the Pseudo-Source Divine Weapon, Yang Qi, who has already reached the peak of the Martial Emperor, is able to fully unleash its power.
From this, Yang Qi also deduced that the might of the Source Divine Weapon could not be fully exerted by a martial emperor cultivator, and there must be a limit. However, all of this was Yang Qi's guess, and he was not 100% sure, but he could ask Taixu Saint Lord and others about this matter.
You know, as the Lord of the Universe, Taixu Saint Lord and others are all cultivators who possess the Source Divine Weapon, and have almost endless lifespans. They have seen many cultivators who possess the Source Divine Weapon over the long years, many of whom are their descendants. I believe that their understanding of the Source Divine Weapon is definitely better than Yang Qi's, and perhaps they can answer his questions in this regard.
In addition to the issue of the source of divine weapons, Yang Qi also discovered one thing, that is, the power of the virtual world means has greatly increased in his hands. As a practitioner who practices the true virtual world means, Yang Qi is very clear about the influence of the soul on the virtual world means. After entering the peak of the martial emperor, the life level of the practitioner will be greatly improved, and Yang Qi's life level has directly transformed, and the power of the virtual world means has greatly increased. It is not too strange.
Yang Qi stretched out his hand to grab the broken stone in front of him. The touch that seemed to be real made him frown. He then sighed and said, "Although the power of the virtual world has been greatly improved, it is still far from the point of truly virtualizing reality and forming a world of its own!"
Yang Qi is now able to achieve the effect of partially virtualizing reality through virtual world means, but this effect consumes a lot of himself. At the same time, the effect of virtualizing reality is also limited. Practitioners below the peak of the Martial Emperor may find it difficult to distinguish between true and false, but practitioners at the peak of the Martial Emperor level can easily judge that the scenes in the virtual world are all illusions and not real.
However, Yang Qi, who knew that at the level of Martial Emperor, it was very difficult to use the means of the virtual world to truly virtualize reality and form a world of its own, was not too surprised. If he could do this, it would not be difficult for him to step into the realm of Martial Saint!
