Severing Heaven Slash

According to Yang Shan's original estimate, "Tyrant Blade - Earth Chapter" should be a Earth Rank Middle-Level Dou Technique.

After all, the higher the level of Dou Technique, the harder it is to obtain. High-level Earth-rank techniques are generally used as trump cards by early to mid-stage Dou Zun experts.

I still remember when Yang Shan was forced to jump around by Xiao Xun'er's "Emperor Seal" during the Heart Demon Trial, he dared not take it head-on at all.

Yang Shan had been quite envious of the "Emperor Seal" back then. How comfortable it would be to use that to strike people! Yang Shan truly hadn't expected the "Tyrant Blade" to be so awesome!

The Earth Chapter is actually High-grade Earth-tier Dou Technique with Golden Word Seal!

Yang Shan wasn't quite clear about the specific damage amplification of the "Emperor Seal," or whether the strongest Five Seals Combine as One could truly rival the Heavenly Rank.

Therefore, it is impossible to compare it with "Tyrant Blade - Earth Chapter".

However, based on the detailed description of "Tyrant Blade - Earth Chapter" that Yang Shan saw, he could conclude that this Dou Technique was absolutely top-notch! There is a big difference between close Dou Technique and ranged Dou Technique.

Most ranged Dou Technique are "single-cast" and have a long Time Acceleration.

But in close Dou Technique, there are many more moves.

Compared to the Mysterious Chapter, the Tyrant Blade - Earth Chapter is an upgrade based on the original moves.

The power increase of the blade stance remains unchanged, but it now deals 50% more damage to Vitality Shield!

If you were to take "Blade Stance" out of context and treat it as Dou Technique, it would be qualified to be rated as Earth Tier Low Grade Golden Word Seal.

The consumption rate increased from 1 point per second to 2 points per second.

In other words, you exchange 1 point of Dou Qi per second for a 50% increase in Vitality Shield damage! In ranged Dou Technique, it would be worth spending hundreds more points of Dou Qi to achieve this!

Not to mention that the single-layer stacking speed of the blade's momentum has been reduced by 1 second.

This is definitely a major upgrade! And this sword technique, which offers excellent "cost-effectiveness," is merely the "basic" version.

The Hundred Twists Chaos array of offense and defense gave Yang Shan more options in close combat!

Yang Shan never focused on allocating points to his Constitution, which resulted in him having only a little over 50,000 health even after reaching the Dou Zong.

If he stood still and tried to withstand the attack, even a sixth-tier magical beast could bite Yang Shan to death in a short time.

Previously, Yang Shan could only dodge using speed to avoid being hit, or use his "Protective Gang Qi" to withstand the attack.

Now that there's another option, Yang Shan's margin for error in battle will be greatly increased! And the final "Seven Slaughters," as an advanced version of "Seven Kills," has the most exaggerated boost.

It's like slashing down with one blow, which is equivalent to unleashing "Seven Kills" seven times! The total damage is 49 times the sum of attack and Dou Qi Intensity! Moreover, the damage from "Seven Slaughters" also has a 50% damage bonus to the Vitality Shield.

Therefore, the damage inflicted on the Protective Gang Qi is 73.5 times! And this total damage is the base!

Melee Dou Technique have one more way to enhance their power than ranged Dou Technique: movement techniques!

The damage amplification provided by movement techniques is based on the logic of using speed to generate greater impact, so it can only be applied to close Dou Technique.

Therefore, "Three Thousand Thunder Movement" can also provide "Seven Slaughters" with an additional 25% damage. (40% for those below Dou Zong, with the increase reduced for Dou Zong level.) And there is also the most important point.

Close combat is the easiest way to hit a weak point.

The actual damage calculation for weaknesses can easily be two or three times higher! If it were a Seventh-Rank Magical Beast whose Demon Energy was exhausted, Yang Shan "Seven Slaughters" to slash the beast's neck.

Against Vitality Shield, the damage is only 73.5 times the base damage shown on the panel.

But if you cut directly at the weak point, the multiplier could be 98 times, or even 147 times! Yang Shan pulled up a calculator and did the math.

With his current stats and equipment, if he were to fight a Seventh Order Peak beast, only the basic Weak Point Attack would inflict double damage.

Additional damage amplification includes 25% from "Three Thousand Thunder Movement", 35% from the Blood Roar Blade, and 30% from "Extreme Lightning Mystic Classic" "Anger Lightning".

If the Extraterrestrial Ghoul Lightning is nurtured to the Dou Zong level and fully amplified, then with Yang Shan's current stats, the theoretical damage of Seven Slaughters would reach: (6473+4107)×7×7×2×(1+0.25+0.35+0.3).

The calculation result is 1,969,996!

If you're lucky, this Weak Point Attack will trigger triple damage, which is: 2,954,994!

Seeing the string of numbers displayed on the calculator, Yang Shan's blood boiled. He even had an extremely strong urge to immediately return to the Black-Corner Region and let that damned Thousand Flame Ghost Tiger King witness the astonishing One-Slash Slash of Blade Sovereign! But reason ultimately suppressed the impulse.

Seventh Order Peak magical beast can suppress One-Star Dou Zong by 40% just by its Realm Suppression.

Moreover, the Demon Energy protecting the Thousand Flame Ghost Tiger King is incredibly strong.

A one-on-one fight would be too dangerous.

But before, Yang Shan was completely helpless against the Thousand Flame Ghost Tiger King; he couldn't beat him at all! Now that he has learned the "Tyrant Blade - Earth Chapter," Yang Shan has the possibility of killing the Thousand Flame Ghost Tiger King! This completely changes the nature of the situation.

Previously, Yang Shan could only stir up trouble and place his hopes for killing the Thousand Flame Ghost Tiger King on the Thousand Thunder Evil Wolf King and the Earth Demon Old Ghost.

But now that there is a possibility of killing, Yang Shan can formulate more plans to turn the "possibility" into a "real result"! Yang Shan was actually thinking that if he had been able to successfully obtain the "Tyrant Blade - Earth Chapter" in his previous life and then refine the Northern Falling Seven Star Thunder, even if he did not take the Overload route, he could have become Top Player in the world, and even surpass the Twelve Emperors.

This trip was definitely the right one!

Yang Shan descended to the first floor, before he could even say thank you, the remnant soul asked, "How was it? Did this Earth Chapter bring you many surprises, young friend?"

Yang Shan: "It has indeed given this junior a great surprise. The Earth Chapter of ' Tyrant Blade ' is already so powerful; I really can't imagine how domineering the Heaven Chapter must be. However..."

At this point, Yang Shan looked at the remnant soul and asked, "Senior, you are not the founder of ' Tyrant Blade ', are you?"

The remnant soul was taken aback. "Boy, you dare to question me?"

Yang Shan: "If this inheritance secret realm was set up by Dou Sheng Expert, it should be much larger than this. Senior's true form should only be at the Dou Zun Peak, or to put it even better, a Half-Saint. Can Half-Saint create Heaven Rank Dou Skills?"

Yang Shan did indeed have doubts about the identity of the remnant soul.

The remnant soul kept claiming that he was the founder of "Tyrant Blade".

However, the introduction to the Earth Chapter clearly states that the legend of the powerful figure who created the "Tyrant Blade" has disappeared in this world, and it points out that the founder was a peak powerhouse who dominated an era! If we look back from the era when Dou Di did not appear, there are actually similar beings described in the original work.

Take, for example, the "Pure Lotus Demon Saint" and the "Yellow Spring Demon Saint"! The former was the one who had refined the "Purifying Lotus Demon Flame," which ranked third on the Heavenly Flame Ranking, and was known as the strongest person in his generation who was closest to the Dou Di! Although he perished, he was able to suppress the "Purifying Lotus Demon Flame," which was fighting on its home turf, had developed its own intelligence, and whose strength was suspected to have reached the level of Seven Star Dou Sheng, simply by using the "Heaven Refining Ancient Formation" that he left behind.

The "Yellow Spring Demon Saint" possesses Soul Strength that has reached the "Emperor Realm," and is just a little short of breaking through to the Dou Di.

Its heritage is placed in the forbidden area of the "Nine Netherworld Python," one of the three top races in Warcraft.

Not only did it contain his essence and blood, but it also contained three Heaven Rank Dou Skills: the Yellow Spring Finger, the Yellow Spring Palm, and the Yellow Spring Heavenly Wrath!

Especially "The Yellow Spring Heavenly Wrath," which is Heaven Rank High Dou Skills. Without the methods of Dou Di, the Heaven Rank High Level is the pinnacle of Dou Technique! The ability of the founder of "Tyrant Blade" should be on the same level as the two mentioned above.

How could the legacy he laid out be so "petty"? Even a random One Star Dou Sheng would have a far more lavish legacy arrangement than this remnant soul's original body! "Insolence! Junior, don't use your shallow understanding to judge my methods!"

Yang Shan's questioning clearly enraged the remnant soul. "My true self will be remembered for eternity!"

Yang Shan: "What is your name, senior?"

The remnant soul stands proudly:

"My name is the Severing Heaven Blade Saint!"

Yang Shan: "Uh, I've never heard of it."

Remnant Soul: "."

Perhaps angered by Yang Shan's answer, the remnant soul suddenly stood up. "Have you heard of the Thousand Azure Saint?"

Yang Shan: "No, not either."

"Don't young people these days know how to read history books? Tell me about any powerful figures you know, and I'll see if I recognize any of them."

Yang Shan: "Yao Chen?"

The remnant soul frowned. "Yao Chen? Who is that?"

Yang Shan: "Yao Chen, the former number one Alchemist in Central Plains, the Venerable Yao."

The remnant soul looked at Yang Shan as if it wanted to skin him alive.

"Venerable One? You scoundrel, what Venerable One is worthy of my remembrance?"

Yang Shan: "Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord Lei Zhanghao?"

Remnant Soul: "I told you not to mention Dou Sheng! Dou Sheng! Don't mention any more of that Tom, Dick, or Harry to me!"

Yang Shan smiled wryly, "Senior Lei Zhanghao should have been Half-Saint a thousand years ago, only his title was not changed."

The remnant soul. "Half-Saint? Isn't that just a nobody?"

Yang Shan: "."

The remnant soul thought for a moment, then tentatively asked:

"You must have heard of the Ancient Twelve Clans, right? Wait, no, you're just a mere Dou Zong, how could you possibly know about ancient races?"

Yang Shan: "Senior, in our era, there are only eight ancient races."

"What? Eight?"

The remnant soul was momentarily dazed, then sneered, "Those arrogant guys who cling to the Dou Di Bloodline like a treasure all day long, they can't even become Dou Di, they can't even protect their clan, what a joke!"

The remnant soul sighed:

"So be it! After all, I have been missing for more than three thousand years. It is normal that people do not know my name now."

If the remnant soul says this, it means that this secret realm was left behind by the remnant soul's original self three thousand years ago!

Creating a small space that has remained stable for three thousand years—logically speaking, this is indeed not a skill that an ordinary Dou Sheng could possess! But this Severing Heaven Blade Saint is undoubtedly an original background character created for the game.

After all, the last Dou Di the Dou Qi Continent Tou She Ancient God, disappeared at least 10,000 years ago. Over the long years, countless talented people have emerged, so it's impossible that there were only a handful of powerful figures standing at the pinnacle of Dou Sheng as depicted in the original work.

Yang Shan wanted to get some information out of the Severing Heaven Blade Saint, but then he saw the Severing Heaven Blade Saint tap his brow with his finger.

"Youngster, today I'll show you the most powerful and domineering force in the world!"

Countless ripples appeared before Yang Shan's eyes, and in the next instant, he found himself atop an unknown mountain peak.

Dark clouds covered the sun on the horizon, and golden lightning, like a ten-thousand-foot-long dragon, weaved through the clouds!

According to Yang Shan's current understanding, the golden lightning includes the "Golden Qilin Mystic Lightning" mentioned by Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord, and the Nine Profound Golden Lightning that appeared when refining Ninth Grade Golden Pill and triggering a tribulation, as described in the original work!

Looking at this magnificent scene in the sky, this must be a tribulation of lightning similar to the Nine Profound Golden Lightning!

The Severing Heaven Blade Saint was right beside Yang Shan.

However, at this moment, the figure of the Severing Heaven Blade Saint was not illusory at all.

He looked up at the sky and raised his right hand.

"Here comes the knife!"

A nine-ringed broadsword appeared!

Generally speaking, the more powerful a weapon is, the more unique its design.

However, this Nine Ring Blade has no design whatsoever, whether it's the curvature of the blade, the nine rings on the back of the blade, or the handle that is most suitable for carving patterns to show its extraordinary nature.

If this knife weren't completely black, it would probably be no different from any other knife that an ordinary martial artist would buy at a blacksmith's shop.

But in the hands of the Severing Heaven Blade Saint, this very blade seemed to possess boundless power capable of directly confronting the heavens.

"My blade has slain Gu Zhen dragons and peak saints. Now, let me try to cleave the heavens!"

"The Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, I am the Overlord! This strike will Sever Heaven!"

Just as the Severing Heaven Blade Saint Severing Heaven Blade Saint speaking, Yang Shan could no longer sense any power emanating from him.

That knife, like a piece of scrap metal discarded in a corner, didn't even show a trace of cold light.

Yet this very man, gripping the hilt with both hands, drew his sword and pointed it towards the sky!

Yang Shan witnessed the golden lightning churning in the dark clouds in the sky seemingly freeze in place.

Yang Shan didn't blink, but his vision suddenly went into darkness, and it wasn't until a breath later that the light returned.

But it was just that one breath.

The golden thunder and dark clouds in the sky seemed as if they had never been there.

The sky was cloudless, and the azure sky seemed to have remained unchanged since time immemorial.

Only by raising one's head can one see that above, a deep abyss, whether thousands or tens of thousands of feet deep, has been opened up!

Like a blue scroll torn in two, the marks can never be erased no matter how it is pieced back together.

The greatsword in the hands of the Severing Heaven Blade Saint turned into dust, but the Severing Heaven Blade Saint's expression did not change in the slightest.

"From this day forward, my name shall be: Severing Heaven Blade Saint!"

The voice of the Severing Heaven Blade Saint seemed to resound throughout the four seas and eight wastelands.

[Ding! You have witnessed the astonishing scene of the Severing Heaven Blade Saint Sever Heaven with a single strike six thousand years ago, and have benefited greatly. Your Comprehension +10! Current Comprehension: 106!]

[Ding! Congratulations, player! Your Comprehension has surpassed 100 points! Your Comprehension aptitude has entered a whole new realm. You have gained a special hidden effect: Enlightenment Nearing Immortality.]

[Your Enlightenment Nearing Immortality: Your comprehension is so high that it transcends the ranks of mortals. When performing any actions related to the "comprehension" attribute, you will receive certain hidden bonuses.]

Yang Shan's gaze had returned to the tower, but he seemed still immersed in the previous images, murmuring softly:

"It really is a peak expert who swept through the world?"

The sky has been cleaved open, and this isn't even considered a peak expert. Could it really be "destroying the heavens and the earth" in the literal sense? If Soul Heavenly Emperor and Xiao Xuan had fought, the Dou Qi Continent would have been destroyed long ago!

The rewards given by the system are enough to prove the strength and status of the Severing Heaven Blade Saint.

The remnant soul of the Sword Saint was very satisfied with Yang Shan's current expression.

If we don't give Yang Shan a shocking performance, people will really think that his title of Sword Saint is just empty talk!

However, Yang Shan that earth-shattering strike seemed to have exhausted the power of the Sword Saint's remnant soul, making his figure increasingly illusory.

"Young friend, I am about to vanish into nothingness. Tell me your name!"

"My name is Yang Shan."

The remnant soul of the Sword Saint nodded, then pointed a Finger Strength, which landed on the back of Yang Shan's right hand, forming the pattern of Nine Ring Blade.

"Since you have passed the test, I will keep my promise and give you an opportunity!"

"However, opportunities depend on chance and fate. Whether you can seize this opportunity depends on your own destiny!"

The remnant soul of the Sword Saint gave Yang Shan one last, deep look and rebuked him. "Yang Shan!"

"Senior, is there anything else you need?"

The remnant soul of the Sword Saint solemnly said:

"If you don't become Dou Sheng, don't say you've seen me! And don't say I admire you, I can't bear to lose face like that!"

Yang Shan: "."
