I'm tired of the new-style fantasy novels. I miss the old-fashioned, traditional kind. A golden finger is fine, but no System. Rebirth is fine, but no transmigration. Preferably no female lead or just one, and the protagonist should work hard on his own and ultimately succeed.

The Extra Chapter of Supernatural Powers: The Five Thunder Transformation Hand draws upon the power of the five elements (metal, wood, water, fire, and earth) in both palms, its core essence lying in the word "transformation." Wherever the palm wind touches, it can disintegrate divine weapons and treasures, dissolve an opponent's inner strength and true energy, and decompose tangible objects and intangible power into nothingness. Cultivation is extremely risky; forced cultivation will backfire, depleting one's own cultivation, and a slight misstep can cause one's own power to dissipate. Even top-tier experts, without a matching physique, cannot master this forbidden Five Elements technique, which circulates the power of annihilation within their palms. A touch can shatter precious weapons, dissolve spiritual energy and cultivation, and reduce all things to nothingness. The threshold is extremely high; only those with a Five Elements physique can cultivate it. Forced activation will backfire, decomposing one's own cultivation, or even causing complete annihilation.

With its grand and magnificent worldview, gripping plot, and vividly portrayed characters, it constructs a captivating and immersive fantasy universe, a true feast for fantasy novel lovers! The uniquely charming protagonist, Ling Feng, is an ordinary boy from an ordinary family, yet he possesses an innate, unyielding stubbornness. He is agile, with eyes that radiate determination and intelligence. Due to his family's lowly status, he suffered coldness and humiliation from a young age, but these setbacks did not defeat him; instead, they planted a seed of desire for power within him. Ling Feng is calm and courageous, never backing down in the face of adversity. In cultivation, he displays astonishing talent and perseverance; techniques that others take months to master, he can integrate in a very short time. He is thoughtful, always able to calmly analyze the weaknesses of powerful enemies and achieve unexpected victories. As the story unfolds, Ling Feng endures countless hardships, gradually transforming from an unknown youth into a figure who shakes the entire fantasy world. The mysterious Xue Yao, like a snow fairy, is aloof and elegant. She possesses a stunningly beautiful face, skin as white as snow, and eyes like deep, dark pools, seemingly concealing endless secrets. Xue Yao's origins are shrouded in mystery, seemingly intricately connected to the Burial Heaven Realm. She is outwardly cold but inwardly warm, appearing aloof and distant to others, but after meeting Ling Feng, she is gradually moved by his courage and perseverance, revealing her gentle and kind side. She is skilled in ice magic; when she casts it, snowflakes fill the sky, ice shards gleam, and everything in its path is frozen—a display of astonishing power. Xue Yao plays a crucial role in Ling Feng's growth, serving as both his confidante and his comrade-in-arms. The story begins with Ling Feng's family facing annihilation after offending a powerful force.

With unwavering perseverance and extraordinary talent, he made rapid progress on his cultivation journey, gradually distinguishing himself within his family. As Ling Feng's strength increased, he discovered that this world hid many unknown secrets, and all clues seemed to point to the legendary Burial Heaven Realm. It was said that the Burial Heaven Realm contained endless treasures and powerful cultivation techniques, but it was also fraught with deadly dangers. To uncover the truth and avenge his family, Ling Feng resolutely embarked on a journey to the Burial Heaven Realm. On his way, Ling Feng met like-minded companions such as Xue Yao. Together, they endured countless hardships and dangers, encountering various powerful demonic beasts and treacherous forces. In one confrontation with an evil organization, Xue Yao was severely injured while saving Ling Feng, causing him immense guilt and further strengthening his resolve to become stronger. Finally, they arrived at the Burial Heaven Realm. Within the Burial Heaven Realm, space is distorted and mysterious, filled with strange phenomena and powerful restrictions. Ling Feng and his companions cautiously explore, unraveling mystery after mystery. However, just as they are about to find the crucial treasure, they encounter an ancient divine beast guarding the Burial Heaven Realm. The beast is terrifyingly powerful, and the group is immediately plunged into dire straits. Driven by deep camaraderie and a relentless pursuit of the truth, Ling Feng unleashes unprecedented power, engaging the beast in a breathtaking battle. Ultimately, Ling Feng defeats the beast and obtains the unparalleled cultivation technique within the Burial Heaven Realm. But the story doesn't end there. News of Ling Feng's acquisition of the technique spreads rapidly, attracting the covetous eyes of various forces. Ling Feng and his companions are once again plunged into peril.

The first book tells the story of a Celestial King who is reborn, uses his past life memories to return to his peak and seek revenge, and gradually discovers his true identity. The second book tells the story of the protagonist's son from the first book.

His former mount transforms into a powerful divine beast. The third book features a system, but it's only visible at the beginning and is rarely seen later.

Both are by the same author. I suggest skipping parts of *Immortal Martial Arts* as it's somewhat padded. *Eternal*'s writing has definitely improved. It's his third new novel, so it's hard to tell much yet, but *Immortal Martial Arts* is definitely a very traditional fantasy, which suits my taste. My recommendation is also partly due to nostalgia, as *Immortal Martial Arts* was the first novel I read on Tomato (the author). Just treat it as a mindless, enjoyable read; it doesn't have a bad ending and fills in the plot holes. I hope this helps some fellow readers.
