Interface

Slaughter Value is displayed on a golden light screen alongside Sheng Huai'an's realm, cultivation methods, strength, talents, and later the shop and inventory. The screen resides in his sea of consciousness. Plus signs indicate that sufficient Value has been accumulated for an available enhancement. 16 55 309

The system's true nature remains uncertain. Sheng questions whether the golden screen is truly a beneficial system, fearing that pursuing Value through indiscriminate killing could reduce him to a puppet of slaughter. 317

Acquisition

Killing enemies

Slaughter Value is primarily earned by personally killing hostile combatants.

• Early-, mid-, and late-stage Martial Disciples yield one, two, and three points respectively. 8
• An early-stage Martial Practitioner yields five points; a Martial Practitioner at Great Perfection yields ten. 9 17
• A Martial Master at Great Perfection yields twenty-five points. 26
• Xiantian expert Xianyou yields seventy points, while the Great Demon wolf yields eighty. 53 85
• Daoist Tianxing, a mid-stage Yin God cultivator, yields 350 points. 109

The reward is not strictly tied to an enemy's realm. Sheng notes that abundant ordinary soldiers can produce Value more quickly than rare powerhouses, while some demon opponents provide more than equivalent human cultivators. 53 85 123

Restrictions and changing returns

• Killing a Wumu Tribe boy produces no Slaughter Value. Sheng cannot determine whether this is because the victim lacked cultivation or because indiscriminate killing is excluded from the system's rewards. 19 20
• At later stages, rewards from beings below the Longevity Realm decline sharply; targets that once yielded thousands or tens of thousands of points provide only hundreds or a thousand. 523
• Sheng can receive Value for delivering the final blow to an enemy weakened by another person. Killing Lin Qiuwan's dying Winged Dragon grants him 90,000 points. 339

Subordinate kills

After the system upgrade, kills by Sheng's soldiers begin granting him one Slaughter Value each. The effect allows large-scale battles to generate Value through his army as well as through his own attacks. 96 101

Uses

Cultivation advancement

Slaughter Value can directly elevate Sheng Huai'an's martial and Dao cultivation, strengthening his physique, blood energy, true essence, and spiritual power.

• Advancing from Martial Disciple Mid-stage to Late-stage costs 40 points. 5
• Advancing from Martial Practitioner Early-stage to Mid-stage costs 100 points; the following advancement costs 150. 16 18
• Reaching Martial Master Early-stage requires two successive expenditures of 150 points. 26
• Advancing from Xiantian Early-stage through Grand Completion costs 2,000, 3,000, and 4,000 points respectively. 59
• Reaching the Martial Immortal realm consumes five million points. 314
• Breaking into Martial Immortal Grand Perfection later requires 120 million points. 330

Skill enhancement

Value supplies complete experiential insight, allowing Sheng to raise combat skills and non-combat arts without conventional training.

• One point promotes his archery from Trash Rookie Archer to Novice Archer. 1
• The Blood Fiend Saber Technique reaches Minor Accomplishment for 20 points. 5
• The Overlord Spear Technique reaches Minor Accomplishment for 500 points, imparting what feels like decades of spear training. 36
• Heavenly Sword Art reaches Minor Accomplishment for 10,000 points, while the Blood Fiend Saber Technique evolves into the Blazing Heavenly Saber Art for 5,000. 134
• Alchemy Skill advances from Tier 1 to Tier 5 through successive expenditures of 100, 1,000, 10,000, 20,000, and 30,000 points. 151

Technique deduction

When a method reaches a sufficient level, Slaughter Value can deduce an advanced version or missing higher-realm verses.

• Ferocious Ox Strength is evolved into the Dragon Python Breath Absorption Technique for 2,000 points. 91
• The Dragon Python Breath Absorption Technique is further evolved into a Grandmaster-realm method for 10,000 points. 134
• Sheng spends one million points to derive Martial Immortal-realm cultivation for the Great Sun Heart Sutra, producing the Sun True Scripture. 317 319
• He later studies scripture repositories before using 20 million points to deduce Longevity Realm verses and advance his cultivation. 393

System functions

The system upgrade costs 10,000 Slaughter Value and unlocks:

• Shop — sells cultivation pills and manuals for Slaughter Value; Sheng considers its prices prohibitively high. 90
• Spatial storage — stores currency, medicinal herbs, treasures, corpses, and other materials. 90 351
• Inventory display — lists stored resources alongside the shop interface. 96
