Split the Heavens/Forms

== 3rd Form ==
Compared to the first and second forms of Split the Heavens, using the third form required a short cast time at his current power level. Although it wasn't as long as the Raging Flame Prison, such a short time could be fatal in a battle against experts. Such an opening would only bring a person to death faster.
Those kinds of battles where people instantly unleashed their strongest moves at the start were absolute nonsense. They were just used to dazzle others. In real battles, large moves were often difficult to unleash and required careful preparation.
Normally, you either had to create distance, or use some kind of ruthless move to force back your opponent. There was also another option. That was to take advantage of when your opponents were filled with hesitation and indecision to unleash your ultimate move.
== 5th Form ==
A saber appeared in Long Chen's hand. The saber pointed towards the sky, and a huge saber-image pierced the clouds. It was like heaven and earth could not endure its existence.
A fierce will was present within the saber-image, one that would make even the gods run. Dan Yanxue, Kan Dongze, and Jiang Zijun felt like they were lambs for the slaughter in front of this blade. They couldn't even form an urge to resist.
The will within the saber-image wasn't one that aimed to kill humans, but one that intended to shatter the heavens. This was a saber at the peak of the heavens, at the peak of the earth, at the peak of all gods and devils.
== 6th form ==
Bao Buping and Chang Hao had already learned the sixth form. However, their power was limited, and they could not unleash the sixth form's full power.
The sixth form's power was ten times greater than the fifth. In Long Chen's hands, it would definitely be able to unleash immense power. However, the profundities behind the sixth form were not something that could be explained in just a few words. So Bao Buping and Chang Hao were extremely vexed.
"The sixth form is different from the first five forms. Before, you only had to rely on your acupuncture points to unleash the power of Split the Heavens. However, the sixth form uses one's aura to draw out the energy of heaven and earth. So if you want to use the sixth form, you must have a powerful enough physical body to endure that energy. Remember, this movement must be done perfectly, or the energy flowing through your body will become stuck. If that happens, let alone unleashing your attack, you won't even be able to move," shouted the old man to the side as he fixed Long Chen's posture. "Alright, continue according to what I just taught you. Slowly circulate your aura. Remember, don't touch the fifty-four acupuncture points in your body."
"The sixth form is different from the fifth form. You'll no longer need to randomly hack at your opponents. Instead, it will gradually merge into your fighting technique. Now that the sixth form's acupuncture points have been activated, you've opened your six senses: sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch, and will. They correspond to the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and will. The rest is easy to understand, but the will is inexplicable. This will can be described as the spiritual perception, the consciousness, the divine sense, etc. However, those are all both right and wrong. This kind of ability can only be experienced. It sounds complicated, but it's easy to put into practice. With your six senses merged, you will enter a special state. Now you don't need to fear assassination attempts or group battles. Even the Bloodkill Hall, ever since ancient times, wouldn't dare to assassinate our Heaven Splitting Battle Sect's disciples. That's because the sixth form of Split the Heavens completely counters their assassination arts. Not only that, but even illusion arts will be useless. There are countless illusion arts; however, they all involve affecting the mind through the six senses. With the six senses merged with your body, illusion arts won't be able to find an opening to affect you. This is also the reason why the Heaven Splitting Battle Sect could cultivate just the Battle God Sacred Canon and Split the Heavens, and still dominate the land. Each of the latter forms of Split the Heavens is more terrifying than the last."
Long Chen was shocked. Perhaps in the entire Martial Heaven Continent, only the Heaven Splitting Battle Sect would have nothing but one cultivation technique and one Battle Skill. However, they had still dominated this continent once.
The Xuantian Dao Sect had all-encompassing magical arts that could manifest the indescribable Dao. However, the Heaven Splitting Battle Sect's one technique was enough to match it. This could be taken as a contrary path, to go from complicated to simple. 
"Maintain this state and carefully experience all your senses. This is very important. The sixth form of Split the Heavens can be split into the aura and the attack. You can use them separately. Now you are in the state of the aura, which is also called the sixth sense, the sixth root, the sixth will. There are many ways to call it. Just this aura is enough to benefit you for a lifetime. It can be used on its own, and once you're more experienced, you can use it without this strange posture. However, the actual attack requires you to use this posture. Otherwise, you might lose your life," warned the old man.
While holding the Heaven Splitting Divine Blade, Long Chen heard the old man say, "Through your aura, activate the six senses. Draw in the energy of heaven and earth into the first acupuncture point. Remember not to draw too much energy to it. The energy has to go through fifty-four acupuncture points, and each time it goes through one, its power will double. If you use up too much energy at the start and don't have enough at the end, it will also cause it to lose effect. You'll just end up injuring yourself. However much energy you draw out of the world is how much energy you should use from your qi sea. Merge the two energies together to form a new kind of power."
Long Chen hadn't expected the sixth form of Split the Heavens to be so complicated. He had to increase his energy with each acupuncture point. That required very precise control.
The sixth form of Split the Heavens was a turning point within the nine forms of Split the Heavens. The power contained within this move was not just pure power. It also contained the power of a law, a kind of will to not bend to heaven and earth's restrictions.
This move was incredibly powerful, but it was also exhausting. It had taken almost half his spiritual yuan to unleash it. If Evilmoon had helped, its power would have magnified, but its cost would have increased as well. After unleashing it, he would be weary to the bone.
== 9th Form ==
1st Stage is controlling the Heavenly Wrath (天怒)
That was the ninth form of Split the Heavens, the very peak of it. However, it wasn't something the old man could unleash in his current realm (half step Netherpassage).
Let alone the ninth form, even the eighth form wasn't something he could control. What he was doing was igniting his Yuan Spirit to forcefully unleash it and bring down his opponent with him.
