Flying Flowers, Chasing Moon.
A Heavenly-level Sword Dao technique, inherited from Chen Wangchuan.
Because it was an ancient skill from the Chen family, connected with the Grand Unity Sword Qi lineage, it balanced speed and lethality, fully manifesting the power of the sword aura.
Su Shi held his chest high, his back straight, his shoulders and elbows heavy, like a crescent moon suspended in the air. Light converged on the blade of the sword, and the water-like sword aura instantly solidified the air.
The ferocious beast turned its head, its pupils shrinking to pinpricks.
Clearly, it sensed the terror of this move!
“Roar!”
The beast roared in anger, opening its bloodied jaws wide, billowing black energy surging out, attempting to submerge Su Shi completely.
And in the next second.
Silver light tore through the night, a large net woven from sword aura traversed through the beast’s body.
The air fell silent.
The beast stood rigidly in its original spot, bloodlines gradually emerging on its body.
“.....”
A breeze swept by, the enormous body collapsed like a building, shattered into irregular chunks of flesh.
Blood flowed between the cracks in the ground, staining it a dark red color.
“In this state, can you still recover?”
Su Shi’s figure slowly descended. He had entered the Spirit Severing Realm.
Although this Nascent Soul beast was somewhat eerie, it was like a chicken or a dog before him, without any ability to resist.
“Brother, take a look, something seems off.”
At this moment, Yu Ren’er’s voice sounded.
Su Shi looked over and his brow instantly furrowed.Geett the latest novels at novelhall.com
Blood on the ground seemed to possess some sort of sentience, flowing along a certain path, eventually forming an octagram-like pattern. But on closer inspection, it was found that this “octagram” had reversed Heaven and Earth, Yin and Yang, appearing extremely sinister.
“This is... a formation?”
All the fragments of flesh were enveloped by the formation.
Under the crimson light, the chunks of flesh floated into the air, as if blocks were being reconstructed. The beast’s body rapidly regenerated.
“......”
The gaze of the Lion Clan soul gradually regained a hint of clarity, uttering fragmented syllables that were difficult to understand.
Manipulated by the formation, within the Demon-Locking Tower, it had lost track of how many years had passed.
Its first thought upon regaining consciousness was the desire for death... which indicated the extent of the torture it had endured!
“To create ‘beasts’ using the souls of outsider races, and then to turn around and slaughter those races, using their grudges and hatred as nourishment, amplifying the power of the formation to the fullest extent... It’s truly malicious!” Su Shi’s eyes briefly flashed with lightning.
The Lion Clan soul was covered in a spider-web-like pattern of cracks, yet a relieved smile emerged from its eyes.
“Thank you,” she said.
Before the words even landed, they shattered into a burst of dust.
Yu Ren’er clenched her delicate hand tightly, her gaze cold as frost. Su Shi sighed, not knowing what to say.
As the soul disintegrated, the light on the walls faded, and the entire second floor finally returned to calm. Meanwhile, two gentle streams of energy entered their bodies.
Compared to the “reward” on the first level, the energy on this level became even purer, almost directly absorbable without the need for refinement.
After a moment, Su Shi opened his eyes. His pupils flickered with divine light, and his aura had become denser. Given his current state, a breakthrough in a short time was unlikely, but this pure energy still provided a considerable boost.
On the other hand, Yu Ren’er sat cross-legged, her eyes tightly shut, her body emitting fluctuating light. Her two fox tails swayed gently behind her.
The third fox tail seemed to be faintly condensing.
Evidently, this pure energy had yielded her significant gains.
Observing this, Su Shi didn’t disturb her, but rather set up a protective formation around her. Then, he turned and ascended the stairs alone. This level of the trial was already proving challenging for Yu Ren’er.
Su Shi didn’t want her to take any more risks entering the next level.
Moreover, the “reward” from this level should be enough for her to absorb for a while. He stepped onto the stairs and ascended.
Similar to before, the dark staircase spiraled upwards, lit only by dimly lit fire sconces, casting a dim glow on the path ahead.
The darkness around was as profound as the stillness of the deep sea.
He reached the final step of the staircase. A ripple of air behind him sealed the entrance completely.
Su Shi walked into the third floor with measured steps, raising his gaze to survey the surroundings. Similar to the previous two levels, the square was devoid of any objects, with continuous murals adorning the walls.
As he focused on them, his brows furrowed.
“Hmm?”
“What is this...”
