Heaven-Defying Demon Slayer Art

"That's all we can do, but although the Nirvana Nine Swords are incredibly powerful, they are extremely difficult to master. An average genius might not even get started in six months. It's going to be quite a challenge for Xiao Chen."

Lin Jiansan glanced at Xiao Chen with some worry.

The Nirvana Nine Swords were the only Earth Rank sword manual in their Sword Immortal Academy. It was created by an unparalleled sword immortal of the Sword Immortal Academy in the past. Its power was astonishing, not much inferior to many Heaven Rank sword manuals. However, it was precisely because of its extreme difficulty that it was rated as an Earth Rank sword manual.

Even with Xiao Chen's terrifying talent, it was almost impossible to cultivate it to a small degree of mastery in a short period!

But now there was no choice. They could only hope that Xiao Chen could use these next three months to cultivate as quickly as possible!

"Boy, the academy competition is in three months. This battle concerns the life and death of the academy and cannot be lost. Do you have the confidence to master the Nirvana Nine Swords to the entry level within three months?"

A trace of hesitation flashed in Chou Wantian's eyes as he turned to look at Xiao Chen.

"No, and I have already prepared my own cultivation method!"

Xiao Chen shook his head directly.

He possessed the God Rank Heaven-Defying Demon Slayer Art, so it was impossible for him to cultivate that Nirvana Nine Swords.

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was stunned.

Sword cultivation methods were now almost extinct in Great Xia. Xiao Chen was actually able to obtain a sword cultivation method?

Even Chou Wantian, who knew Xiao Chen's background, was a little incredulous.

Although Xiao Chen was the eldest son of the Zhenbei King, according to outside rumors, he did not seem to be favored and his status was not much different from that of a servant. How could he obtain such a precious sword cultivation method?

Moreover, the Xiao family had practiced martial arts for generations, and he had never heard of anyone practicing swords!

Could it be that the Zhenbei King had obtained it by chance before and bestowed it upon Xiao Chen?

"What cultivation method?"

Lin Jiansan looked at Xiao Chen and asked.

"Heaven-Defying Demon Slayer Art!"

Xiao Chen said truthfully.

He learned from the system that the Heaven-Defying Demon Slayer Art had been lost for countless years, and few people should know about it, so he was not afraid of exposure.

"Are you talking about the Heaven-Defying Demon Slaying Sword Manual?"

After pondering for a moment, Lin Jiansan spoke.

He went through all the names of the sword manuals in his mind, and only this cultivation method matched what Xiao Chen said.

"Yes, that's it."

Xiao Chen went along with it.

"Nonsense, this is just a middle-grade Yellow Rank cultivation method. Although the name is impressive, it's actually weak and worthless. Are you trying to ruin your future by cultivating this?"

Lin Jiansan's face suddenly darkened.

"But cultivating this is fast! If I cultivate that Nirvana Nine Swords, I won't even be able to reach a small degree of mastery in three months. How can I win a place for my academy then?"

Xiao Chen casually made up an excuse.

"But…"

Lin Jiansan was immediately speechless and could not refute.

Although he was unwilling to admit it, what Xiao Chen said was indeed correct.

With the terrifying difficulty of cultivating the Nirvana Nine Swords, even if Xiao Chen, with his Heaven Rank sword cultivation talent, were to cultivate it, it would probably be difficult to even get started in three months. Naturally, he would not be able to achieve good results in the academy competition three months later.

Although Yellow Rank cultivation methods were weak, they had one advantage: they were quick to cultivate. With Xiao Chen's talent, he would definitely be able to get started in three months, or even achieve a small degree of mastery. At that time, with the sword cultivator's super-strong attack power and Xiao Chen's terrifying sword talent, he might be able to win a good place for the Sword Immortal Academy.

However, this would greatly affect Xiao Chen's path as a sword cultivator. After all, changing cultivation methods later would damage a certain foundation.

"Are you worried about delaying my future? It's okay. For the sake of the academy, I am willing to sacrifice. If there's nothing else, I'm going to cultivate!"

Xiao Chen smiled, then turned and left, choosing a room next to Lin Qingxian's, intending to start cultivating.

Lin Jiansan and the other two looked at Xiao Chen as he slowly left, and they only felt that his back instantly became taller.

Tears welled up in Lin Jiansan's turbid old eyes.

Chou Wantian did not say a word, picked up the gourd, and took a few big gulps of wine.

Even Lin Qingxian, who disliked Xiao Chen the most, had slightly red eyes at this moment!

Xiao Chen had only just joined the academy for less than half an hour, yet he was willing to give up his personal future for the sake of the academy, not cultivating an exceptionally powerful Earth Rank cultivation method, but instead cultivating a trashy Yellow Rank cultivation method. What kind of mind and spirit was this!

"This kid is actually not bad!"

Lin Jiansan wiped away his tears and said in a trembling voice.

"Indeed not bad! Has vision!"

Chou Wantian added.

"Perhaps the real him is not as superficial as he seems on the surface?"

Lin Qingxian also muttered to herself in her heart.

Another side.

Inside the room.

Xiao Chen sat cross-legged, directly entering a meditative state.

"System, activate the Heaven-Defying Demon Slayer Art."

Ding! Heaven-Defying Demon Slayer Art is now activating!

The next moment.

Xiao Chen entered an illusion. In the illusion, Xiao Chen became a thirteen-year-old boy.

His village was attacked by the Demon Clan, and his parents and relatives were all killed by the Demon Clan. Only he survived by hiding in the cellar.

After the Demon Clan left, Xiao Chen walked out of the cellar, looking at the corpses of his relatives all over the ground, and his mother, who was humiliated beyond recognition and on her last breath, he cried out, "Mother!"

"Chen'er, don't... don't be sad for mother, this is all fate! Find... find a place, and live well!"

His mother gently stroked his head, reluctantly enduring the pain of parting, leaving a last word before closing her eyes forever.

Suddenly, that enormous grief instantly filled Xiao Chen's heart, followed by a monstrous hatred surging into Xiao Chen's eyes. At this moment, he only wanted to kill all the Demon Clan in the world.

"System, what's going on with this illusion? Why do I feel like my heart is about to break!"

Everything the host sees is not an illusion, but the true experience of the Demon Quelling Sword God, the creator of the Heaven-Defying Demon Slayer Art. The system uses this to guide the host into the Dao. How much you comprehend depends entirely on the host's opportunity.

Hearing this, Xiao Chen was immediately shocked. This was actually not a fabricated illusion, but the Demon Quelling Sword God's real experience?

At just thirteen years old, his entire family was wiped out by the Demon Clan, and his mother was humiliated to death. No wonder he hated the Demon Clan so much. Later, he even created the Heaven-Defying Demon Slayer Art, determined to kill all the Demon Clan in the world.

However, today, thousands of years later, the Demon Clan's power is even stronger, and countless people die tragically at the hands of the Demon Clan every day. The Heaven-Defying Demon Slayer Art created by the Demon Quelling Sword God has been gathering dust for many years. If the Demon Quelling Sword God knew, how tragic would it be!

Cultivating the sword starts with cultivating the heart. Please carefully experience the will and state of mind of the Demon Quelling Sword God when he practiced the sword.

With the system's guidance, Xiao Chen immediately concentrated and calmed his mind, completely substituting himself into the perspective of the young Demon Quelling Sword God. Soon, he became that mountain village boy again.

The boy spent three days and three nights digging seven earthen pits on the nearby Barren Mountain to bury his relatives, and then began to practice the sword.

At that time, he was very poor, and his family only had a rusty iron sword, so he used it to practice.

Under a large locust tree in front of his house, the boy kept waving his sword, filled with hatred and killing intent, imagining himself cutting the Demon Clan into pieces.

Day after day, through heat and cold!

His control over the sword in his hand began to increase continuously.

Suddenly, one day, he shattered the boulder in front of his door with a single sword strike.

Ding! Congratulations, host, you have mastered the basics of the Heaven-Defying Demon Slayer Art.

If there were ancient sword cultivators here, they would definitely be extremely shocked. The higher the rank of the sword scripture, the more difficult it is to master. For example, a Earth Rank technique like the Nirvana Nine Swords is difficult for even a genius to master in three months.

However, Xiao Chen actually mastered the basics of this God Rank technique like the Heaven-Defying Demon Slayer Art in less than a moment. This is absolutely shocking.

"Mastered the basics?"

Xiao Chen woke up from the illusion, looking at the faint sword energy lingering on his fingertips, his expression somewhat surprised.

According to Lin Jiansan, it should be very difficult to cultivate a sword technique to the entry level. He only did it for a short while?

It has to be said that having a system is really good!

No wonder people always wrote in his previous life, the system is the invincible path, why bother with the suffering of cultivation!

Putting away the sword energy between his fingers, Xiao Chen got up and walked towards the outside of the house.

At the entrance of the Slaying Heaven Courtyard.

Lin Jiansan and the others were cleaning up the wreckage of the secret room when suddenly, a burst of hurried footsteps came from not far away.

"Dean Chou, help!"

The group immediately stopped what they were doing and turned to look. They saw a fifty-year-old man covered in blood running towards them in a panic.
