Slaying and Awakening
Seeing Lin Chen unleash such a technique, Jian Lingxu showed no surprise. After all, the opponent was Dao Integration Realm cultivator, and he would not be easily killed.
However, he had already figured out Lin Chen's strengths and weaknesses, and if the battle dragged on, the opponent would surely die.
But with wartime underway and numerous uncertainties, where is the time to wage a protracted war?
Only by acting swiftly and decisively can we prevent any unforeseen circumstances.
With his mind made up, he formed a sword incantation with both hands, and eight beams of spiritual light containing the Sword Principle shot out, landing precisely on the eight flying swords.
In an instant, the flying sword erupted with soaring sword intent, then transformed into eight heaven-reaching divine swords, carrying a world-destroying power, and slashed down furiously towards Lin Chen.
Upon seeing this attack, Lin Chen's face turned deathly pale, and a chilling sense of death instantly swept over his entire body.
He was completely locked onto by the sword's momentum, with no time to escape. He could only grit his teeth and unleash his Secret Method.
His aura surged, Purgatory Devil Fire engulfed him. He swung his spirit blade wildly, unleashing a sky full of sharp blade light, desperately trying to block this fatal blow.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The clash of blades and divine swords shook the heavens and earth, but the countless blades only slightly hindered the divine swords' attack, unable to completely block it.
Eight heaven-reaching divine swords pierced through the sky full of sword light, carrying the power to tear the heavens and split the earth, and slammed into Lin Chen's body in his terrified gaze.
"Ah!"
A piercing scream tore through the sky, and Lin Chen's body was instantly blasted into dust.
Only a final, unwilling roar echoed, "No! I am Dao Integration Realm, how could I die at the hands of the Void Return Realm? I am not reconciled!"
The eight flying swords that had killed Lin Chen immediately returned to their positions, circling around Jian Lingxu in mid-air, their swords chiming softly, like a sword king wielding ten thousand swords.
Jian Lingxu gazed at the spot where Lin Chen had perished, feeling extremely satisfied.
The fact that he swiftly killed Dao Integration Realm demonstrates that his strength in this life far surpasses that of his predecessor at the same level.
If he hadn't been bound to the Fairness System, he would never have had the chance to witness the formidable power of Chen Jie, Bai Qianqian, Ye Qingxue, and others.
They were unaware that a super monster like Liu Yi existed in the world, and would likely remain forever immersed in past glories, stagnant and unwilling to strive for further progress.
It was these experiences that jolted him out of his complacency, making him realize that he still had a lot of room for improvement.
That's how he came to be able to easily kill someone at the Dao Integration Realm.
But this joy was fleeting, Jian Lingxu's heart suddenly sank.
Even with his greatly improved strength, he is still worlds apart from Liu Yi, that monstrous talent.
The opponent's power was so outrageous that it was almost illogical. Even if he was a reincarnated Immortal King, he couldn't help but feel a sense of powerlessness, as if he could not catch up with him and that there was no hope of eternal life.
But with his inherent pride, how could he easily admit defeat?
Now that I'm bound to the Fairness System, my strength will increase rapidly with the help of the system.
With the foundation laid by his past life as a Immortal King, he might very well surpass Liu Yi in the future!
He glanced around, only to see the battlefield all around him.
All the cultivators who had been fighting were stunned by the earth-shattering battle just now. They stopped fighting and looked at him with undisguised shock and awe.
"Jian Lingxu actually did it! He killed Dao Integration Realm cultivator while only at the Void Return Realm! That's outrageous!"
"The number one on the Void Return Realm Combat Power Ranking is indeed well-deserved. The claim on social media that the top player has the strength to fight beyond realms is not bragging, but the absolute truth."
"Now Jian Lingxu has directly killed those at the Dao Integration Realm."
"The Combat Power Ranking has become even more prestigious. From now on, anyone who fails to make it onto the Combat Power Ranking and dares to call themselves a prodigy is simply humiliating themselves!"
"Just now I saw Jian Lingxu seem to be using the Sword Principle."
No wonder he's so powerful; it turns out he can also wield the power of the Great Dao Principle, just like Liu Yi, even before becoming an immortal.
"Another prodigy! If they were truly at the same cultivation level, who would be stronger, him or Liu Yi?"
"Although Jian Lingxu is strong, he is still far inferior to Liu Yi. I'm afraid that if they were at the same cultivation level, he wouldn't even be able to withstand a single move from Liu Yi."
Shi Zhuangmo stared blankly at the scene before him, his heart filled with shock. He could hardly believe that Jian Lingxu could kill Lin Chen, who was at the same level as him.
He initially thought that Jian Lingxu could only withstand a few moves from Lin Chen before reaching his limit.
This also allows the younger generation to see their own shortcomings, to avoid arrogance and complacency, and to calm down and hone their skills to improve their strength.
But to everyone's surprise, Jian Lingxu directly slew his opponent with his sword, a feat that shocked him deeply.
Especially since Jian Lingxu had just used the Sword Principle to enhance his flying sword, greatly increasing its attack power.
With eight sword strikes, he decisively defeated Lin Chen.
Just then, Jian Lingxu's voice reached my ears. "Xie Shi, Elder Shi, for supporting me. I am deeply grateful."
Shi Zhuangmo snapped back to reality, a smile spreading across his face, "You're too kind, Holy Son. With your strength, you weren't in any danger just now."
Suddenly, a loud shout exploded, shaking the entire battlefield:
"How dare you!"
You dared to kill the Supreme Elder of my Purgatory Demon Sect! Today is your death day!
What are you all standing there for?
"Why don't you hurry up and kill Jian Lingxu while his spiritual energy is severely depleted?"
As soon as the words were spoken, the Devil Cultivator present seemed to wake from a dream, their eyes revealing killing intent, and they all began to unleash their Law Treasure and Law Technique to attack.
The battle resumed, with a large number of Devil Cultivator charging straight towards Jian Lingxu.
He wanted to take advantage of the fact that his spiritual energy was severely depleted after the great battle.
This would be a good opportunity to nip this promising young talent in the bud, preventing him from growing stronger and becoming even more difficult to deal with later.
Shi Zhuangmo saw through the Devil Cultivator's scheme at a glance.
Jian Lingxu is a genius of unparalleled talent, the hope for the future restoration of glory of the Heavenly Sword Sect, and he must not die here.
He immediately raised his voice and shouted at Jian Lingxu, "Holy Son, you have just experienced a great battle and your spiritual power is greatly depleted. Retreat immediately and return to the sect! I will hold them off here!"
Upon hearing this, Jian Lingxu smiled faintly and gently shook his head.
"Xie Shi for your concern, Elder Shi. I have already recovered my peak spiritual energy from the Cloud Storage after the battle.
Today, let us meet these Devil Cultivator together!
Before he finished speaking, he formed a sword incantation with both hands, pointed his finger, and eight flying swords immediately transformed into streaks of light, carrying chilling Sword Qi, and launched a fierce attack on the approaching Devil Cultivator.
Seeing this, Shi Zhuangmo did not offer any further advice.
Prodigies should grow through blood and fire, not be raised in a greenhouse.
Moreover, for them, the sword cultivator lineage, only through more combat experience can they more quickly comprehend the Sword Dao True Intention and break through their cultivation level.
I only told him to retreat because I was worried that Jian Lingxu was not in good condition and might be in danger.
Now that we know his spiritual power has returned to its peak, there is no need to worry too much.
After all, Jian Lingxu's strength is now no less than his, and may even be greater.
Upon realizing this, Shi Zhuangmo's eyes flashed with a sharp light. He raised his hand and swung his sword, unleashing a fierce Sword Qi that slashed straight at the Devil Cultivator before him. Then, his figure transformed into a streak of sword light and charged into the battlefield.
The forces of good and evil once again engaged in a fierce battle, with deafening roars of clashing Law Treasure Law Technique booming spells.
The roar of explosions was mixed with screams and shouts, and the entire battlefield was instantly shrouded in blood.
