Creation and Destruction of the Two Forms! Thunder Profound Mystery: Nine Heavens Execution Platform! (Part One)

The Wind Threads Turn to Dust on the blade had been compressed to its limit.

The blue-purple sword threads, once visible to the naked eye, were now so fine they had almost vanished. Only an occasional glimmer revealed that power capable of annihilating everything was coiled around the sword. The sword threads flowed slowly along the edge, like drifting silk ribbons, or the feelers of some living thing.

The mental strain was immense.

The movement of every wisp of sword energy, every change in its direction, every inch of the sword threads' positions-all required Loa to control them simultaneously with his Spiritual Force. Fine beads of sweat seeped from his forehead, his temples throbbed, and his eyes were bloodshot.

No blocking, no dodging-only the purest exchange of wound
