Two thousand years ago, a strand of sword light flashed across the nine heavens, tearing through the sky.
The world recovered, and martial arts began to revive.
Two thousand years later...
A flash of blade light, like a thunderclap across the sky.
Clang clang...
The sound of the blade clashing exploded.
The air itself was vibrating.
With a single slash, hundreds or even thousands of sword lights erupted, turning the area within hundreds of meters into a sea of swords.
Each blade of light contained terrifying thunder and lightning.
The air was cut apart.
The blade was sharp, and as it scraped the ground, it immediately created grooves that, like a spider web, covered an area of several hundred meters.
The fire demon roared and charged forward.
They didn't even have a chance to react before being overwhelmed by Lin Xuan's thousands of sword lights.
The endless sharpness tore through him, and the demonic aura around him, like flames, slashed at his massive body.
Each cut, though not fatal, severed a piece of his flesh.
It took away his last glimmer of hope.
Little by little, they add up.
In an instant, his massive body was reduced to a bare skeleton, his flesh and blood stripped away.
Demons have an extremely strong vitality.
Although only a skeleton remained, the fire demon showed no signs of dying and was still full of vitality.
On the skeleton, terrifying flames burned.
A massive heart pounded, like a thunderclap.
"You bastard, I'm going to devour you alive."
The fire demon roared.
Suddenly, the flames around him surged, and with a punch he threw, they transformed into a terrifying firestorm.
It swept straight toward Lin Xuan.
The surrounding sword light was actually burned and extinguished.
"Hmph, you beast, you think you can scare me?"
Lin Xuan was not afraid at all, and coldly rebuked, "One strike, and I'll send you to reincarnation!"
Clang...
With a flash of light, Lin Xuan drew his sword without hesitation.
Having comprehended 30% of the power of wind and thunder, he unleashed it in full force at this moment, forcibly drawing upon the power of wind and thunder within a radius of dozens of miles.
Like a whale swallowing its prey, it was absorbed into the battle blade in his hand.
This moment.
Lin Xuan seemed to transform into a thunderous storm that blotted out the sky, merging into a single blade with overwhelming power.
They met the attack head-on from the fire demon.
Thunderclap Blade Technique: A single strike strikes like thunder!
Sizzle!
A terrifying blade of light sliced through the sky, shattering the raging firestorm of the Flame Demon with overwhelming force.
"impossible……"
The fire demon roared in disbelief, "How could you do this..."
Before he could finish speaking, he abruptly stopped.
Lin Xuan's blade had already sliced through his body, splitting him in two.
boom!
The sword energy that had seeped into his heart erupted, and with a bang, his entire heart exploded, splattering demonic blood everywhere.
Dead beyond dead.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, for slaying a high-level Netherworld Flame Demon and gaining 1263 points of Luck and the Innate Spiritual Flame, Earth Spiritual Flame.]
The next moment.
As the system notification sounded, a surge of powerful energy flowed into Lin Xuan's body.
Rumble...
Suddenly, a sound like a morning bell and evening drum erupted from Lin Xuan's body. Lin Xuan, who had already reached the Spirit Realm level, finally broke through his limit at this moment.
He progressed from the late stage of the Bitter Sea Realm to the perfect stage of the Bitter Sea Realm.
In an instant, the sea of bitterness in his dantian surged at an alarming rate.
The golden sea of suffering surged with terrifying waves, expanding to nine zhang and nine chi in less than ten breaths.
This is the limit of human potential.
Since ancient times, the limit of a martial artist's suffering has been nine zhang and nine chi.
Those who can reach this level are all geniuses. As for breaking through the limits and stepping into the ultimate realm...
That's extremely rare.
"Beyond perfection lies the ultimate realm, but now is not the time. We'll discuss it when we return."
Lin Xuan muttered to himself, letting out a long breath.
Inside is the Dantian, a sea of suffering.
Although the Golden Sea of Bitterness is only nine feet nine inches long, within the dantian it is like a vast golden ocean.
In the very center of the ocean, a blue lotus blooms.
At this moment, a flame the size of a thumb was slowly burning on the lotus.
It contains terrifying power.
It was the Earth Spirit Fire that the system rewarded.
With this innate-level spiritual fire, his success rate in alchemy will be greatly increased in the future.
Moreover, this Earthly Spirit Fire is unparalleled in its power; it can be used not only for alchemy and weapon crafting but also for combat.
If one were to come into contact with even the slightest bit of the Bitter Sea Realm, death would be certain.
"You beast, you're asking for death..."
Just then, a roar pulled Lin Xuan back to reality.
It is Su Changfeng.
Relying on the power of the magic array, he unleashed a blade of energy several meters long, slashing towards a fire demon.
However, the situation of the people in Team Twenty-Three is not very good.
There were three Balrogs that launched this sneak attack.
Lin Xuan led one way, while the other two headed towards Su Changfeng and the others, putting everyone in grave danger.
In a short period of time, several people have been seriously injured and rendered unable to fight.
"court death!"
A murderous glint flashed in Lin Xuan's eyes. Without even having time to investigate the effects of the Earth Spirit Fire, he immediately drew his sword and slashed at one of the Flame Demons.
The blade flashed, its power unmatched.
The sword energy, infused with thirty percent of the power of wind and thunder, was practically indestructible.
Having the experience of slaying a Flame Demon, Lin Xuan naturally found it much easier to face this one.
The Nine Forms of Rending Wind and the Thunderclap Saber Technique erupted together, seamlessly connected.
He slashed out one after another.
They slaughtered the Flame Demon, who was forced to retreat in defeat, screaming in agony.
[Ding! Host, we have sensed that the Nine Forms of Rending Wind and the Thunderclap Blade Technique can be integrated. Do you wish to consume 10,000 Luck Points for integration?]
Sudden.
Just as Lin Xuan was gaining the upper hand and the Flame Demon was being forced into retreat.
