Chapter 40: Blade Technique Reached Perfection!
Eighty percent.
For a moment, the elder of the Demon Sect thought he was hallucinating.
He believed he was under an illusion.
But after rubbing his eyes and sensing carefully,
it was incomparably real!
It was indeed eighty percent blade momentum!
But how could this be?!
Even the leaders of the Demon Sect at the Profound Dan Realm might not have such high comprehension!
Yet the current holder was merely at the True Aperture Realm fifth level!
The elder of the Demon Sect instinctively took a step back, his former confidence vanishing without a trace!
He was confident that he could easily suppress Luo Mu, who had one percent blade momentum.
But with eighty percent, that was absolutely impossible!
The difference between the two was like heaven and earth!
In fact… he was very likely to die!
Not far away.
Luo Mu gripped the hilt of his blade.
Two hundred strands of No Life Blade Qi were all concealed within the sheath, suppressed to the limit.
The Draw Blade Style.
Currently, it was the strongest move in the “No Life Blade Classic.”
Although there were still few strands of No Life Blade Qi and he hadn’t yet reached the limit of a thousand or more,
with the amplification of eighty percent blade momentum,
it was already extremely terrifying!
“Slash!”
The sound echoed through the forest like a thunderclap.
Luo Mu drew his blade.
It was difficult to describe what kind of slash this was.
It was like an endless river of blade Qi surging forth from the sheath, crossing the void and pouring down for thousands of miles, carrying a terrifying momentum that swept across the heavens and the earth.
It descended directly upon the elder of the Demon Sect’s head!
“This!”
The elder of the Demon Sect’s pupils contracted sharply.
He never expected that Luo Mu not only had a terrifying understanding of blade momentum but also possessed such a formidable blade technique!
This was absolutely not the power of a middle-tier Profound Rank technique!
At least it was of high-tier quality!
“Scarlet Moon Shines, Illuminating Silence!”
Without time to think, the elder of the Demon Sect unleashed his defensive technique.
After all, he was at the Spirit Sea Realm, so he still had time to react. However, being in the midst of the blade momentum made him feel like he was stuck in a quagmire, unable to evade.
He could only choose to take it head-on!
The scarlet moon tattoo on his face lit up.
He could clearly feel that his strength had increased somewhat.
A red semi-circular shield appeared around the elder of the Demon Sect, enveloping him within.
Boom!
The blade light struck down!
The shield trembled violently!
Had it blocked?
The elder of the Demon Sect felt a rush of joy, but his expression changed drastically.
Wherever the clash occurred, dense cracks appeared, spreading out like a spider web!
Crack!
In just half a breath, the shield shattered completely!
The terrifying blade light descended!
No!
The elder of the Demon Sect screamed in despair.
He had worked so hard to reach the Spirit Sea Realm, with a future even potentially leading to the Profound Dan Realm!
But now he was about to be slain by a mere True Aperture Realm warrior!
It was simply unacceptable!!!
Boom!
The ground trembled violently, dust and smoke swirling, sand and stones flying.
When the dust settled,
only a huge, deep fissure remained at the scene.
The elder of the Demon Sect was trapped within.
His body had been cleaved in two, but even so, he had not died immediately.
The scarlet moon tattoo on his face flickered.
It seemed to be surging with a peculiar and strange power.
This power tried to pull the elder of the Demon Sect’s split body back together.
However, the No Life Blade Qi was refined from the death intent of living beings.
In addition to possessing the overwhelming power that a blade technique should have,
it could also devour vitality!
This caused the elder of the Demon Sect to not last long enough to reassemble his body.
The vitality had already been completely consumed.
Before one’s eyes, the elder of the Demon Sect’s unwilling gaze completely lost its luster.
“This is the Demon Path? Truly bizarre.”
Luo Mu looked at the elder of the Demon Sect in the fissure and frowned slightly.
His body had been split in two.
Yet he still wasn’t dead.
If it weren’t for his No Life Blade Qi being able to devour vitality, given this person a little more time, he might be able to stand up again.
“It should be due to that tattoo or the Scarlet Moon Demon Technique.”
Luo Mu pondered in his heart.
“In this vast world, there are all kinds of wonders, and heroes and talents are as numerous as the fish in the river; I must always maintain a vigilant and respectful heart.”
“I must not become arrogant, or I might easily meet my downfall.”
This scene completely settled Luo Mu’s previously slightly unsettled state of mind.
Whoosh!
A thick gray mist flew out from the body of the elder of the Demon Sect, merging into Luo Mu’s body.
The death intent provided by a Spirit Sea Realm powerhouse was immense, far surpassing that of a True Aperture Realm.
Thus, it directly gave Luo Mu an additional forty strands of No Life Blade Qi.
“Ding!”
“You used the ‘No Life Blade Classic’ and killed a Spirit Sea Realm powerhouse, triggering a critical hit and gaining a hundred-fold reward!”
In his mind, the system’s prompt sounded.
A hundred-fold?
Luo Mu was overjoyed.
That was equivalent to killing a full hundred Spirit Sea Realm martial artists!
Wouldn’t that allow him to achieve perfection directly?
No, it meant reaching the limit!
Boom!
In an instant,
the death intent within his body surged dramatically, continuously transforming into No Life Blade Qi, directly causing the amount of No Life Blade Qi to explode to one thousand!
But upon reaching one thousand,
it stopped.
The death intent had not fully transformed; on the contrary, there was still much more left.
“It seems that my physical body’s bearing capacity has reached its limit.”
Luo Mu raised his arm.
He saw the skin underneath flickering with blade light, which was the dense No Life Blade Qi!
The No Life Blade Qi was transformed within the body and nourished with Qi and blood.
So the practitioner’s body must be strong!
“It seems I need to quickly train the ‘Profound Yang Overlord Body Technique’ to perfection; only then can I withstand more No Life Blade Qi, and at that time, it will be a full three thousand strands of No Life Blade Qi!”
Luo Mu’s eyes blazed with fervor.
He now had enough death intent; he just lacked the strength of his physical body.
Thinking of this,
Luo Mu squatted down.
He severed the head of the elder of the Demon Sect and searched for a storage ring, but temporarily didn’t open it to check.
He planned to organize it after returning.
He didn’t let the other two heads go either.
When he acted, he still accurately avoided the skulls, ensuring they were distinguishable.
