puff!
Another mouthful of blood, mixed with fragments of internal organs, drew a gruesome arc in mid-air.
A devastating gust of wind swept in from behind, and Su Yu felt as if his internal organs had been displaced, and his bones were groaning under the strain.
Just being swept by the aftershock of that dark yellow beam of light brought his proud Body-Tempering Mystic Realm Ninth Level body to the brink of collapse.
This is the Earth Realm.
A terrifying being that can truly mobilize the power of a region.
Deep in the Rotting Swamp.
"Awooo--!!!"
The thousand-year-old crocodile demon roared to the sky, its violent Yao Qi tearing apart the miasma within a radius of several miles, revealing the sky above, which had been dyed dark red.
The deep, bone-revealing wound on its neck was still gushing demonic blood.
The dark red Asura Sha Qi was frantically eroding the flesh and meridians of the wound, bringing waves of excruciating pain.
Its murky, vertical pupils burned with endless madness and resentment.
A mere human! A mere insect that it considers less than food, merely a snack, has managed to injure it to this extent!
Unforgivable!
It will chase after that tiny human, tear him to pieces, and devour him completely, soul and all!
Its massive body churned the mud, poised to give chase.
But at that moment, its massive head suddenly stopped, and its enormous vertical pupils turned toward the City of Calamity and Chaos.
Above that distant, black city, lingered an eerie aura that made even it feel uneasy.
It was Dead Land formed over hundreds of years by the intertwining and sedimentation of the resentment and blood of countless living beings.
Now, this deathly aura is being stirred by an even more powerful force, stirring restlessly, like an ancient ferocious beast about to awaken.
The thousand-year-old crocodile demon hesitated.
As a demon from the Earth Realm, its intelligence is already comparable to that of humans.
It could clearly sense that its current condition was extremely poor, and the injury to its neck, under the corrosive influence of the Sha Qi, would not heal in a short period of time.
To infiltrate that eerie city in my current state, to hunt down a human whose trump cards are constantly being revealed...
The risk is too great.
It was unsure whether other threats were lurking in that city.
His rage and murderous intent were ultimately suppressed by the caution that had allowed him to live for thousands of years.
The thousand-year-old crocodile demon let out a low, unwilling roar, its massive body slowly sinking into the dark red mud.
Heal the wounds first.
Once I'm back to peak condition, I'll slowly deal with that damned bug.
This swamp is its territory.
It didn't believe that the human could fly out of its territory.
A hundred miles away.
boom!
Su Yu's figure crashed heavily onto a barren, rocky beach, carving a terrifying trench tens of meters long into the hard, black rock.
He struggled to sit up from the rubble, spitting out another mouthful of blood.
This time, the blood had turned a dark gold color, mixed with the shattered Prison-Suppressing True Intent.
Ignoring his injuries, he immediately sat down cross-legged and forcefully circulated the " Myriad Manifestations Prison-Suppressing Intent " to suppress the chaotic qi and blood churning within his body.
After an incense stick has burned.
His face, which had been deathly pale, had just regained some color.
Opening my eyes, the terrifying image of the thousand-year-old crocodile demon shattering the void with a single, casual flick of its tail still echoed in my mind.
That wasn't magic, nor was it Yao Qi.
It is pure, absolute power that concentrates the "momentum" of the entire swamp into a single point.
His strongest strike, delivered with all his might, only managed to severely injure it.
The gap between the Earth Realm and the Mystic Realm is indeed an insurmountable chasm.
He examined his own body.
Multiple meridians were severed.
All five internal organs and six bowels are damaged.
If it were an ordinary Mystic Realm martial artist, they would already be a corpse.
However, under the powerful vitality tempered by the " Pagoda Demonic Baleful Intent Art," these injuries are healing themselves at a slow but steady pace.
The price is excruciating pain that gnaws at your nerves constantly.
Su Yu was already used to this.
He was not discouraged, nor was he afraid.
On the contrary, a chilling sense of excitement was slowly rising from the depths of his heart.
He personally measured the gap between himself and the Earth Realm.
One thing was also confirmed.
The Earth Realm is not invincible!
He had played almost all his cards this time, except for his final trump card— the Pagoda Demonic Manifestation.
That was the ultimate embodiment of his Body Refinement technique, his trump card for survival.
Once it's used, it means a fight to the death.
If you don't have absolute certainty of a decisive victory, keeping this trump card and choosing to retreat is the most sensible option.
This embarrassing situation is a prelude to the next... fatal blow.
The Blood Sacrifice Grand Formation will open in three days. Regardless of the level of the evil spirits summoned, Sun Yao of the City Lord's Mansion is a powerful expert at the Earth Realm First Level.
Not to mention the people sent by the Blood Baleful Intent Hall and the Demon God Cult.
He doesn't have much time left.
This gap must be closed in the shortest possible time!
With a thought, Su Yu activated the system panel, which appeared in his mind.
[ Slaughter Points: 312000]
The Mystic Realm and monsters he slaughtered in the Rotting Swamp provided him with a massive amount of resources.
His gaze fell on the two top-grade martial arts techniques at the Profound Mystic Realm level in the martial arts section.
" Prison-Burning Star-Shattering Seal ", minor completion.
" Asura Blood Sha Slash ", Minor Completion.
Extending these concepts from the smallest to the Subtlety, each skill requires 300,000 Slaughter Points.
He's only good enough to advance in one subject right now.
Which one should I choose?
The image of the slash he had delivered kept replaying in his mind.
The sensation of slicing into the flesh of the crocodile demon.
That feeling of resistance as if tearing through tough leather.
And that domineering, murderous Sha Qi.
It was this Sha Qi that truly harmed it!
In this impending bloody feast against the existence of the Earth Realm, what he needs most is extreme destructive power!
The moment he made the decision, Su Yu didn't hesitate for a second.
"System."
His divine sense roared within his sea of consciousness.
"Consume Slaughter Points to refine the ' Asura Blood Sha Slash ' to its Subtlety!"
[Ding! Consume 300,000 Slaughter Points to refine the Mystic Realm Supreme Martial Art " Asura Blood Sha Slash " to its Subtlety?]
"Confirm!"
boom!!!
His consciousness exploded.
There was no sea of blood, no stream of light.
Instead, it's an endless series of "slashes".
A single stroke severed the waterfall.
A single stroke cleaved the mountains in two.
A single slash cleaved the heavens.
The lifelong obsession of countless swordsmen, the despair of countless lives being slain, all transformed into the purest imprint of the way of the sword, frantically etched into his soul!
Above the system panel.
[ Slaughter Points: 12000]
Clear the numbers.
In the martial arts section, the words "Minor Success" following " Asura Blood Sha Slash " shattered completely amidst violent flashing.
A brand new word, exuding endless sharpness and a murderous aura, took its place.
[Ding! The Asura Blood Sha Slash has reached the Minute Subtlety Realm, and you have mastered the ultimate killing move, Asura One Slash ]
Buzz!
At the same time, the communication talisman on Su Yu's body began to vibrate violently.
