Void Sword Physique

"Geng Metal Sword Physique... no, there's also Xuanshui, Chihuo, and Houtu!" Lu Shuang became more and more surprised as she spoke, "Lu Feng, how many Sword Physique have you awakened?"

"Four types," Lu Feng replied. "Geng Metal, Xuan Water, Crimson Fire, and Thick Earth are all Ordinary Sword Physique."

"Four Ordinary Sword Physique?"

Lu Shuang stood there, stunned. She had never heard of anyone being able to awaken multiple Sword Physique at the same time, let alone four.

Suddenly, something occurred to her, and she blurted out, "Could it be the Five Elements Sword Physique?"

The Five Elements Sword Physique is also a Mutated Sword Physique, but it is the most advanced type among them. Of course, it is still far inferior to those legendary Peerless Sword Physique.

"Still a step short." Lu Feng shook his head. "I want to absorb some more wandering souls to see if I can advance my Sword Physique to another level."

"It's about two months until the Ten Thousand Swords Tomb Secret Realm opens." Lu Shuang didn't ask any further questions and nodded, "I'll go with you."

"Good."

The two immediately moved into the inner area.

With the aid of his divine sense, Lu Feng absorbed wandering souls several times faster than before. As for the Sword Spirit, they were still useless to him, so he simply left them all to Lu Shuang.

At first, Lu Shuang refused to take it all for herself, but when Lu Feng stopped and stared at her intently, she stopped refusing and focused on absorbing the Sword Spirit.

Half a month later, the wandering souls in the inner circle were wiped out again, leaving only a few hundred second-tier Sword Spirit for Lu Shuang to slowly refine.

Lu Feng glanced at her. She was absorbing the Sword Spirit and comprehending the Sword Intent, so he didn't disturb her and instead opened the panel.

[Demon Points: 3.26 billion]

That's enough.

Lu Feng sat down cross-legged and silently chanted, "System, upgrade the Shadow-Shattering Sword Art to perfection!"

[Upgrading the Shadow-Shattering Sword Art to its perfect state requires 1 billion Demon Points. Upgrade now?]

"Promote!"

A wealth of cultivation experience flooded into Lu Feng's mind instantly. Memories of decades of arduous training unfolded, with every change in technique and every sword movement clearly imprinted in his memory.

A moment later, the system notification appeared again.

[Shadow-Shattering Sword Art (Perfected)]

Within his dantian, the fifth azure sword pellet quietly condensed, echoing the other four sword pellets.

[Host's five Celestial Person Realm sword techniques have been detected as fully mastered. 1 billion Demon Points can be consumed to fuse them into the Celestial Person Realm sword technique. Fuse?]

Lu Feng did not hesitate for a moment.

"Merge!"

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained the peerless sword technique: The Return to the Void Sword Codex!]

"The Return to the Void Sword Codex?"

Lu Feng immediately checked the description of the cultivation technique.

The Return to the Void Sword Codex requires divine sense to cultivate, and he happens to meet the requirements. After mastering it, he can directly condense Sword Qi in the void, killing people invisibly. He can also awaken the Void Sword Physique, using his divine sense to control the spiritual sword, which can suddenly appear in the void to kill enemies.

The Return to the Void Sword Codex is divided into nine levels, with the first level alone requiring 1 billion Demon Points, and the ninth level requiring a staggering 9 billion.

After reading the introduction, Lu Feng's breathing became heavier. He glanced at the panel and saw that he still had 1.26 billion Demon Points left after the fusion, enough to advance to the next level.

"System, upgrade the Return to the Void Sword Codex to the first level!"

[Upgrading the Return to the Void Sword Codex to the first level requires 1 billion Demon Points. Upgrade now?]

"Promote!"

A vast amount of cultivation experience once again flooded his mind. In his sea of consciousness, a figure exactly like Lu Feng appeared, cultivating the Return to the Void Sword Codex day and night.

The figure channeled his True Essence, his hands forming a series of hand seals. Suddenly, a crack appeared in the void, revealing a three-foot-long, invisible sword. Guided by divine sense, the sword vanished instantly. The next moment, the sword's edge pierced through another part of the void, disappearing without a trace once more.

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained the Peerless Sword Physique: Void Sword Physique!]

[Return to the Void Sword Codex (Level 1);]

Lu Feng was stunned for a moment, then his face lit up with joy. He had thought he would need to continue cultivating, but he did not expect that he would awaken the Void Sword Physique directly after only advancing to the first level of the Return to the Void Sword Codex.

He immediately checked the panel.

[Main character: Lu Feng;]

[Cultivation Level: Celestial Person Realm First Layer]

[Cultivation Techniques: Return to the Void Sword Codex (Level 1); Nine Extremes Essence Condensation Art (Level 6) Progress: 100%; Six-Zhang Golden Body (Level 3); Spirit Condensation Art (Not yet mastered); Nine Extremes Heaven-Breaking Slash (Level 9);...]

[Perfected Martial Arts: Startling Thunder Flash; Hundred Beasts Body-Tempering Art; Walking on Air;...]

[Formation: Four Symbols Formation;]

[Talents: Clear and Pure Spirit Eyes; Void Sword Physique;]

[Demon Points: 260 million]

The Void Sword Physique is indeed there!

Lu Feng opened his eyes, a sharp glint flashing in them.

He was curious to see how fast this Void Sword Technique could be in actual combat, Return to the Void Sword Codex it had already undergone such changes at only the first level.

Lu Shuang remained seated cross-legged, her body radiating Sword Intent, clearly not yet awakened from her comprehension.

Without disturbing her, Lu Feng flashed and landed a hundred feet away.

He channeled his True Essence to activate the Void Sword Physique. Within his dantian, the colorless sword pellet trembled slightly. As he pointed a finger, the void in front of him rippled, and an invisible flying sword quietly condensed.

It was invisible to the naked eye, but a sharp Sword Shadow was clearly discernible in one's divine sense.

"Go."

"Call out--"

The Sword Qi did not cross the hundred-zhang space. One moment it was hovering in front of Lu Feng, the next moment it appeared out of thin air a hundred zhang away.

Lu Feng changed positions several more times, and his flying swords moved with his thoughts without the slightest hesitation.

"Excellent! Within a hundred feet, the sword moves with a thought. Once an enemy steps into this range, it's almost impossible for them to dodge using movement techniques!"

He was invigorated and continued practicing the condensation and release of void Sword Qi.

Not far away, Lu Shuang opened her eyes, her joy still lingering. She had just gained some new insights into swordsmanship, and as she looked up, she saw the Sword Shadow disappear in front of Lu Feng, while a sharp Sword Qi suddenly erupted a hundred feet away.

She stared for a moment, then placed her hand on the Frost Sword, suddenly feeling the urge to spar.

"Lu Feng, take this sword!"

Before she finished speaking, Lu Shuang had already activated her Ice Sword Physique. She swung out with her sword, thrusting straight at Lu Feng. The icy air swept across the ground, condensing into tiny ice crystals along the way. She had only covered a few dozen feet, but the frost marks behind her had not yet dissipated.

Lu Feng stood still, not in a hurry to draw his sword.

As soon as Lu Shuang entered the hundred-zhang range, her brows suddenly furrowed. The cold energy that had been flowing smoothly under her control suddenly became stagnant, and the power of the Ice Sword Physique weakened for no apparent reason.

She continued forward, and the pressure grew stronger and stronger, even causing the frost on the Frost Sword to fade slightly.

What happened?

Lu Shuang instinctively stopped her Sword Force. As her steps slowed, a chill settled three inches in front of her brow.

The invisible flying sword appeared before her eyes without her even noticing where it came from.

"When did this sword appear? Why didn't I notice it at all?" Lu Shuang stared at the sword tip so close to her, forgetting even to step back. "Lu Feng, what kind of Sword Physique have you awakened this time?"

She had thought that breaking through to the Celestial Person Realm and awakening the Ice Sword Physique would at least close the gap. But now it seems that the distance between them has actually widened.

"Void Sword Physique." Lu Feng dispersed his flying sword. "Currently, I only know that it can condense an invisible flying sword in the void and launch an attack instantly within a hundred-zhang range. I'm still exploring its other abilities."

"Void Sword Physique? That's Peerless Sword Physique!" Lu Shuang was stunned, her tense shoulders relaxing instead. "No wonder..."

It's better to lose to a force you can't understand than to become weak for no reason.
