[One step, two steps, three steps, Little Peach walked steadily, seemingly unaffected by the killing intent.]
[Two days later, the two of you passed through the Forest of Ten Thousand Swords and exited the Southern Regions.]
[At this moment, you were drenched in sweat, your eyes occasionally flashing red.]
[Clearly, your previous self-assessment was off; you were somewhat overconfident.]
[Although you made it through the Forest of Ten Thousand Swords, you were still affected.]
[Fortunately, the impact wasn't too severe, and your self-awareness remained intact.]
[On the contrary, Little Peach, whom you had been worried about, seemed completely unaffected.]
[The killing intent didn't invade her at all.]
[But now, you had no time to ponder these things.]
[You were still desperately suppressing the killing intent within you.]
[Several months later.]
[You finally recovered.]
[You and Little Peach found a relatively safe place to continue your cultivation.]
[In the forty-fourth year, Little Peach crossed her tribulation and became an immortal.]
[During her tribulation, aside from some disturbances in the sea of killing intent, nothing unusual happened, and there were no accidents.]
[In the forty-fifth year, Little Peach continued her closed-door cultivation, while you continued to practice the Silent Destruction Fist.]
[In the fiftieth year, you encountered a killing intent hurricane.]
[However, with your current strength, it didn't pose any threat to you.]
[In the sixtieth year, your Silent Destruction Fist finally reached the peak of minor achievement.]
[You couldn't help but sigh; this fist technique was incredibly difficult!]
[It took you a full sixty years to make this small improvement.]
[But fortunately, you had now reached the peak of minor achievement and could see the threshold of major achievement.]
[You felt that perhaps it wouldn't be long before you achieved major success.]
[But how long is "not long"?]
[In the blink of an eye, twenty years passed.]
[In the eightieth year, you turned 100 years old and triggered the talent "Late Bloomer," gaining a buff to your cultivation speed.]
[This year, your Silent Destruction Fist finally reached the major achievement stage.]
[The power of the Silent Destruction Fist at major achievement was significantly different from before.]
[Now, every time you used the Silent Destruction Fist, its power increased by dozens of times.]
[Moreover, it seemed to contain a sense of universal annihilation.]
[This sense of annihilation not only increased damage but also affected a person's will.]
[You even felt a mysterious sensation within the Silent Destruction Fist.]
[That sensation was like... you couldn't find the right words to describe it for a moment.]
[After thinking for a long time, you decided that the word "time" was the most accurate description.]
[You felt that if you mastered the Silent Destruction Fist to the extreme, you might be able to cultivate the power of time from it.]
Jiang Yifeng seemed to hear an ancient war song.
He seemed to see countless White Tigers being slaughtered by powerful beings descending from the sky.
The White Tiger Clan was unwilling; they were angry. Even though they knew they were no match, they still pointed their swords at the sky, charging forward without hesitation!
But the absolute power disparity only led to the tragedy of the White Tigers.
Blood, the blood of countless White Tigers, kept falling.
Eventually, this blood transformed into pure killing intent, condensing into the shape of a tiger.
...
In the blink of an eye, twenty years passed.
Jiang Yifeng slowly woke up.
At this moment, he saw that there was no longer any killing intent in the Forest of Ten Thousand Swords.
The White Tiger corpses that had been in the forest had also turned into a mist of blood.
But Jiang Yifeng wasn't surprised.
Because during his enlightenment of the killing intent.
He had learned the truth.
The White Tigers were killing intent bodies formed from the blood of the White Tiger Clan.
They were the last hope and legacy of the White Tiger Clan.
They were the combination of the White Tiger Clan's obsession, killing intent, and flesh.
Jiang Yifeng thought that when he was trapped here and reincarnated as Wu Youdao, the White Tiger corpses should have disappeared.
After all, based on Jiang Yifeng's understanding, Wu Youdao might be the obsession of the White Tiger Clan.
With the reincarnation of their obsession, how could the condensed White Tiger bodies persist?
The only explanation might be that the White Tiger Clan's obsession was too strong; even reincarnation couldn't completely erase it.
And now that the killing intent in the Forest of Ten Thousand Swords had disappeared, the remaining obsession had also been exhausted.
So the White Tiger corpses had completely become a thing of the past!
Without further thought.
Jiang Yifeng sensed and used the killing intent he now controlled.
Soon after, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Perfected Killing Intent!"
Now he could control the killing intent as easily as moving his arm. This was a sign of perfect mastery of the True Meaning of the Killing Dao, and also the mark of a perfected realm.
The speed of this improvement surprised even Jiang Yifeng.
Twenty years, and he had improved so much?
He had directly jumped from major achievement in killing intent to the perfected realm, skipping the peak of major achievement.
However, he also knew that there were many reasons for this.
There was the buff from the "Late Bloomer" talent, the buff from "Inevitable Enlightenment," and the scenes of the White Tiger Clan in the Forest of Ten Thousand Swords.
All these factors contributed to his significant improvement.
