Split the Heavens

is one of Long Chen's ultimate sword moves, capable of splitting heaven and earth. 
The Heaven Splitting Battle Sect's nine forms of Split the Heavens were famous, and they were widely known for their domineering and fierce power. Anyone who had seen one of the Heaven Splitting Battle Sect's disciples attacking would be able to instantly tell when someone was using Split the Heavens. Other than its specific movements, only the nine forms of Split the Heaven possessed a fierce will to slash through the dome of the sky. It was as if the nine forms of Split the Heavens were moves designed to strive against the heavens.
The nine forms of Split the Heavens were a secret art that the Heaven Splitting Battle Sect had never transmitted outside their sect.

== Divine Runes ==
When spiritual yuan entered the acupuncture points, a faint rune would light up within them. When that rune lit up, his spiritual yuan would explosively grow in power.
These are Split the Heavens' divine runes; they are nourished within the acupuncture points. It's like you're raising experts within your body who will go all-out to help you once you use Split the Heavens.
He had only just begun studying the first nine runes, but he was instantly drawn into the intricate principles within them.
Each one of them represented a different law, a different meaning. As for what their meanings were, Feng Xinglie had directly told him not to ask, because he also didn't know. In any case, Feng Xinglie just cultivated it according to the instruction of the old man from the Heaven Splitting Battle Sect.
But when Long Chen looked at these divine runes, he seemed to understand a kind of principle. It felt like he understood what they meant, but when he carefully thought about it, he couldn't figure it out.
"The club beats the tiger, the tiger eats the chicken, the chicken eats the insect, the insect eats the club? Each complements each other, but they also counter each other?"
When the nine divine runes fully appeared, Long Chen's expression suddenly turned grave. He softly chanted, "To split the heavens of the universe, my soul energy condenses. Split the Heavens' divine runes... appear!"
This was a mnemonic Feng Xinglie had taught him. This was his first time chanting it, and he felt like it sounded nonsensical. But after a while, he could feel a mysterious kind of energy within the world.
This energy was formless and invisible, but he could sense it. The nine divine runes in his acupuncture points lit up as if they were coming alive. They began to slowly revolve.
Each divine rune seemed to possess its own life and will. They were connected to his soul, so it was like nine newly-born babies starting to become active.
"Does this mean there really are gods' blessings in this world?" Long Chen's heart pounded wildly as he examined the movements of the nine runes.
This energy wasn't his. After chanting the mnemonic, that mysterious energy had helped him fully activate the spirit of the nine runes.
When Feng Xinglie had explained the activation of the runes' spirits, he had explained it vaguely, merely saying that he would understand when the time came. Now he finally did understand. This kind of thing couldn't be described with words. 
Having succeeded in condensing the divine runes, Long Chen's confidence rose. It had been extremely easy, and he was just about to start condensing the next nine.
== Spiritual eye ==
Activating Split the Heavens had almost become a reflex. As soon as he activated the first acupuncture point, his spiritual yuan wanted to rush forward. However, his control was still great enough that he only had to struggle for a moment to suppress that spiritual yuan.
The instant he activated his first acupuncture point, Long Chen looked into the sky, surprised. There was nothing there, but he felt something there connected to his mind. It was like his senses had extended outside his body.
The Xuantian Dao Sect has its myriad techniques revolving around the Dao, while the Heaven Suppressing Magic Sect has its endless magical arts. However, the Heaven Splitting Battle Sect only has the Battle God Sacred Canon and the nine forms of Split the Heavens. Do you know why despite only having these two things, we were the leader of the three great heavenly sects?"
"You've already broken the Heaven Suppressing Magic Sect's divine spring, removing them from this world. But you should know that back in the day, their name was enough to shake the Martial Heaven Continent. As for the Heaven Splitting Battle Sect, we were even above them. Although I wouldn't dare to say that we were the rulers of the continent, there was definitely no one who dared to provoke us. Then we declined because the upper half of the divine tablet was lost, causing us to lose the inheritance of the nine forms of Split the Heavens. Before you went into Devil Spirit Mountain, our strongest technique was the sixth form of Split the Heavens. However, even the sixth form is incredibly powerful, far more so than the fifth form. The thing that you're sensing right now, it is a complementing place to your acupuncture points. It is like another eye that allows you to see everything around you clearly. Now, continue activating the next eight acupuncture points."
Activating the second acupuncture point was even easier than activating the first.
The feeling he had up above him increased. From there, he was able to see himself clearly. The angle was completely different.
He continued, activating the first nine acupuncture points. These were the acupuncture points required for the first form of Split the Heavens. However, now that he was activating them with the technique of the sixth form, something was different about them.
He felt like there were nine eyes in the sky, giving him nine angles to survey the world. This was an extremely strange state.
"This way, when I fight, I'll be able to track my enemies easier and find openings to attack!" exclaimed Long Chen.
When fighting, he usually relied on his divine sense to keep an eye on his surroundings. However, in an intense fight, the powerful fluctuations harshly limited his divine sense, making his senses dull.
Now, he would be able to see everything around him clearly. When he fought powerful enemies in the future, he would be able to fight even more freely.
"Correct. The first nine acupuncture points correspond to your sight. You can use the spiritual eye to keep watch on your surroundings. Furthermore, there are no limits. You'll be able to see through bewildering formations. Even in an illusion formation, even if your eyes are blinded, your spiritual eye won't be. You'll be able to see through what's false," said the old man proudly.
The sixth form of Split the Heavens was where Split the Heavens showed its true worth. If it weren't for it, the Heaven Splitting Battle Sect might have been destroyed long ago.
The Heaven Splitting Battle Sect didn't have any magical arts. If they encountered a spiritual attack or were lost in an illusion formation, they would be doomed. It was the sixth form of Split the Heavens that made up for that deficiency. The sixth form had reached an even higher realm.
The thing that shocked the old man was how quickly Long Chen had opened his spiritual eye. Boss Bao and the others had spent three months training in the sixth form before sensing the location of their spiritual eye.
However, back then, they had also been at the Soul Transformation realm, which made it exceptionally difficult to train in the sixth form. That was why their progress had been so slow.
By the time they were capable of using their spiritual eye to examine their surroundings, it had been over a year since they had started training in the sixth form. As for Long Chen, he had not only instantly opened his spiritual eye, but he also managed to make use of it without any instruction.
Shockingly, this attack passed through the unstable gate and crashed through the devil army. A dozen winged devils were slain. "As expected, the sixth form of Split the Heavens contains the power to pass through all barriers. It really is a divine technique."
== Acupoints and six senses ==
The first nine acupuncture points corresponded to sight, while the next nine corresponded to hearing. Then the next nine corresponded to smell. In that instant, he had felt an absolute clarity toward his surroundings.
When he activated the thirty-sixth acupuncture point and a wave of scents assaulted him, his throat became itchy. He had an urge to puke. It was like he was tasting the air, the soil, the grass, and even the insects in the grass.
On the 45th acupuncture point, he found that it corresponded to the sense of touch. He felt all his pores opening. It was like everything around him was touching him. The breathing of the fresh grass, the swirl of the wind, and even the movements of the insects in the soil were sensed.
"Good. Before training in the sixth form, one must first cultivate six kinds of senses. The first five senses are sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch. As long as these five senses are awakened, then any illusion art will be useless against you. Try to see if you can open the final sense. Don't hesitate. I'm here if you need me," said the old man.
Seeing Long Chen's unnatural expression after activating all these senses, the old man thought that Long Chen had almost reached his limit. He didn't know this was from being disgusted.
However, after reaching the fifth sense, Long Chen didn't taste as much of what he didn't want to, and he continued.
His Spiritual Strength was practically limitless, and he activated fifty-four acupuncture points in one go. The instant he activated the fifty-fourth acupuncture point, the space around him shook. Long Chen felt like he had become the ruler of this space. Within this domain, everything was within his control.
Long Chen also gains a sixth sense.
