Five-Thousandfold Critical Strike

At this very moment.

Lu Yun, who had been cultivating in seclusion on the eighth floor of the Unfixed Pagoda, suddenly rose to his feet and slowly walked out of his room.

"This beast actually dares to dream of killing my senior brother. Its crime is unforgivable!"

At that moment, the Silver Eagle abruptly turned its head and glared furiously in Lu Yun's direction.

"Chirp~"

It let out another furious roar, and its aura instantly surged to its peak.

"Hmph! A mere human at the Void Transformation Realm Pinnacle dares to bark at me? You truly do not know whether you live or die!"

Having said that...

The Silver Eagle suddenly swung its enormous claw, savagely clawing at the eighth floor of the Unfixed Pagoda.

"Hmph, I'd like to see whether you're really that formidable."

The silver claw swelled against the wind, instantly expanding to a thousand zhang as it viciously clawed down at Lu Yun.

"Such paltry tricks—do not flaunt your ferocity here!"

Lu Yun shouted coldly, slightly raising the Falling Leaf Azure Edge Sword in his hand.

The next moment.

A dazzling sword gleam shot explosively from the sword tip like a comet.

Boom!

The sword gleam and the enormous silver claw slammed violently into each other.

At once, two incomparably powerful waves of energy surged wildly in every direction, and terrifying ripples of energy spread outward like madness.

The next instant!

The two powerful attacks both shattered and vanished without a trace.

"Th-This is impossible! How could this lowly human possess such terrifying power?!"

The Silver Eagle was filled with disbelief and could not help crying out in alarm. Then it frantically beat its wings again.

Rumble!

Violent energy fluctuations swept out in every direction, while rings of fierce wind ravaged everything around them.

Lu Yun's expression was exceedingly grave. While doing his utmost to withstand the Silver Eagle's attacks, he desperately drove the Falling Leaf Azure Edge Sword, sending streak after streak of sharp sword force hurtling madly toward the Silver Eagle.

He was only at the Void Transformation Realm Pinnacle. He was still far from the Late Dao-Seeking Realm.

However, relying on the exquisite Heavenly Sword Art, he would not be defeated immediately.

This beast! In another minute or two at most, I'll definitely break through the Void Transformation Realm Pinnacle and advance into the Dao-Seeking Realm!

As the system notifications continued to ring in his mind, Lu Yun felt increasingly confident.

He estimated that it would not be long before he could turn the tables and kill it instead!

During its clash with Lu Yun, the Silver Eagle also clearly sensed that Lu Yun's strength seemed to be continuously improving.

This made the Silver Eagle increasingly irritable.

"Damn it, despicable human! Today, I will tear you into ten thousand pieces!"

As it spoke.

A terrifying blaze suddenly erupted from the Silver Eagle's body.

Lu Yun's gaze narrowed, and he immediately circulated the spiritual power within him, forming a massive defensive barrier.

Very soon...

That mass of flame slammed into his defensive barrier.

Bang!

A muffled sound rang out, followed by a bone-piercing burning sensation that instantly surged across Lu Yun's skin.

Lu Yun gritted his teeth as sweat continuously rolled down his forehead.

"Hahaha, human brat, this is my innate divine ability—the Samadhi Heaven-Burning Flame. No matter how strong your defense is, you will never be able to withstand this move of mine.

"Just wait for death!!!"

The Silver Eagle laughed wildly.

"An innate divine ability?"

Hearing the Silver Eagle say this, Qing Yuanzi's words surfaced in Lu Yun's memories.

In the era before the previous spiritual energy revival, many high-level demonic beasts and powerful beings of other races possessed unimaginable innate divine abilities.

Once these innate divine abilities were unleashed, their power became exceptionally terrifying.

Take the Silver Eagle before him, for example. It already possessed Late Dao-Seeking Realm cultivation, and with its innate divine ability, it could easily gain the upper hand even when fighting a cultivator of the same level—let alone a human like Lu Yun at the Void Transformation Realm Pinnacle.

This move, the Samadhi Heaven-Burning Flame, was the Silver Eagle's trump card.

Having reached this point, the Silver Eagle had clearly been truly enraged and wanted to finish Lu Yun as quickly as possible.

Judging from the current situation, Lu Yun was likely the strongest human here. As long as the Silver Eagle won this battle, what followed would inevitably become a one-sided slaughter.

The Silver Eagle flapped its wings and once again spewed out scorching flames.

A fierce wind swept past, and the ground where Lu Feng stood instantly turned into ruins.

Whoosh!

The Silver Eagle flapped its wings again and flew into the sky, staring fixedly at Lu Yun with a gloomy look clouding its face.

In that brief instant just now, it had sensed that the other party's speed had improved yet again.

"Damn it! How can this hateful human be improving so quickly?"

A savage look appeared on the Silver Eagle's face as it violently flapped its wings again.

Boom! Boom!

Two terrifying hurricanes swept out violently from the Silver Eagle's wings, howling toward Lu Yun.

Buzz buzz buzz~

Seeing this, Lu Feng immediately swung the Falling Leaf Azure Edge Sword and charged toward the hurricanes.

At once...

The two hurricanes slammed fiercely into the Falling Leaf Azure Edge Sword.

In an instant, the terrifying gale completely destroyed all the surrounding bluestone tiles.

Meanwhile.

At some unknown point, the attribute panel had silently appeared in Lu Yun's mind.

System Stage Seven Unlocked: 5000x Critical Strike Amplification

Host: Lu Yun

Martial Skill: Heavenly Sword Art lv156

Strength Level: Early Dao-Seeking Realm

"Finally..."

Lu Yun let out a long breath. After several rounds of battle, he had finally advanced into the Early Dao-Seeking Realm.

What made him even more overjoyed was that the system had unexpectedly unlocked its seventh stage. From now on, every amplification could reach 5000 times.

Rumble!

With a flick of Lu Yun's wrist, a terrifying Sword Qi shot straight toward the Silver Eagle.

And this time...

The power of his attack had clearly increased by far too much compared to before.

At once.

Streams of Sword Qi, like sharp swords, wildly shredded the Silver Eagle's wings.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

As streak after streak of Sword Qi struck, bloody marks rapidly appeared across the Silver Eagle's wings.

Moreover, as the bloody marks on the Silver Eagle's wings grew more numerous, a terrifying fluctuation of power spread from its body.

"Awoo!"

The Silver Eagle threw back its head and roared furiously, its wings beating madly.

In the blink of an eye.

The crisp and pleasant system notification sounded again.

[ Ding! ]

[ Detected that the host is using the Heavenly Sword Art... ]

[ Swordsmanship experience +10. 5000x critical strike triggered. Swordsmanship experience +50000! ]

[ Ding! ]

[ Detected that the host is using the Heavenly Sword Art... ]

[ Swordsmanship experience +10. 5000x critical strike triggered. Swordsmanship experience +50000! ]

Hearing those heavenly notes, the corners of Lu Yun's lips could not help but curl upward.

If this continued stacking at such a rate, it would likely not be long before he possessed the strength to kill the Silver Eagle in an instant.
