The man in black robes threw a punch, and the entire hall instantly turned to dust.
"Bang!"
Before the punch had stopped, the man in black robes swung his fist again, slamming it hard into Gu Yifeng's chest, causing Gu Yifeng's body to explode instantly, turning into flying bits of flesh and blood that stained the entire palace red.
"Whoosh~"
Gu Yifeng's remnant soul floated in the air, his eyes revealing a look of horror.
He never expected that the black-robed man in front of him was so powerful; with just one move, he almost annihilated him!
The man in black robes glanced coldly at Gu Yifeng, as if he were looking at a corpse, and then turned and left.
"Who exactly is this guy?" Gu Yifeng's remnant soul wandered in the void, staring dumbfounded at the black-robed man's receding figure.
"Could he... could he be the legendary saint-level master?" Gu Yifeng's heart raced with excitement.
The power of a sage is enough to destroy heaven and earth!
However, Gu Yifeng knew that this was just a rumor; such a thing could not possibly exist in the world.
Gu Yifeng had initially doubted the accuracy of the rumors, but what he saw today completely overturned his guesses.
A sage, to think he possesses such terrifying combat power!
That's a legendary realm. Even Gu Yifeng himself is only at the peak of the Spirit Emperor realm, a far cry from the legendary Saint!
This made Gu Yifeng even more eager for the Sage.
With a "whoosh," after the man in black robes left, the enormous sword slowly stopped trembling and returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.
However, the sword aura surrounding that sword was becoming increasingly sharp, even faintly revealing a hint of sharpness!
Moreover, Gu Yifeng could sense that the sword seemed to be undergoing a transformation!
"Could it be growing to the legendary level of an Emperor-grade weapon?" Gu Yifeng's heart trembled slightly. He could feel that the sword was undergoing a special transformation.
"Buzz!" Just then, the sword suddenly trembled and burst out with a dazzling purple light!
The purple light shot straight into the sky, dyeing the entire night sky a magnificent purple. An extremely powerful aura emanated from the sword, shaking the entire world!
A surprised smile appeared on Gu Yifeng's face.
"Congratulations, host, for obtaining the treasure 'Star Slayer'!" The system notification sounded.
The Star-Slaying Sword, as its name suggests, is an unparalleled and deadly weapon, said to be able to cleave the universe!
The value of this sword far exceeds its inheritance, and is even comparable to that of a sage's legacy.
Although Gu Yifeng really wanted to take the sword with him, he knew that with his cultivation level, he simply couldn't lift it, or he would surely die.
Moreover, he always felt that Zhanxing was a bit strange, so it was better to give up!
"Never mind, I'll keep it for now. When I'm stronger, I'll find an opportunity to seize this sword!" Gu Yifeng composed himself and prepared to leave.
However, he stopped in his tracks after taking just one step.
"Buzz!" Just then, the sword suddenly trembled slightly, and then it turned into a ray of light and entered Gu Yifeng's body.
Gu Yifeng was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed: "Haha, I actually succeeded!"
"Swish, swish, swish!" Just then, a series of paintings appeared on the walls of the entire hall.
Within the scroll are all sorts of ancient runes, and each painting records a secret text, which is none other than the inherited cultivation method and immortal technique!
"This is..." Gu Yifeng stared in surprise at the painting in front of him, completely captivated.
"No wonder, no wonder my nascent soul kept trembling, so the inheritance was right here!" Gu Yifeng exclaimed, then immediately sat down cross-legged and immersed himself in comprehending the painting.
This painting contains a wealth of information, encompassing almost the entire cultivation system of cultivators!
The most important of these are the three major systems: elemental laws, spiritual power application, and array formation techniques.
The Law of Elements is divided into three stages: initial understanding, minor achievements, mastery, and ultimate mastery.
Gu Yifeng is currently in the initial stage of learning the basics and is still quite far from achieving any significant success. However, this has provided him with the foundation for further understanding.
Moreover, besides these, there is something even more amazing!
Utilizing spiritual power!
"Buzz!" Gu Yifeng closed his eyes and carefully experienced this new way of using it.
Gu Yifeng had heard that some cultivators had mastered a unique method that allowed them to apply their spiritual power to swords, spears, clubs, or various weapons, increasing the power of the weapons several times or even dozens of times.
Moreover, this method of application is not limited to weapons; it can even be incorporated into elixirs to enhance their efficacy!
Of course, Gu Yifeng did not master this method of application. His nascent soul was just that of an ordinary Golden Core cultivator, and he was simply unable to do this.
"No matter what, with a way to use spiritual power, my combat strength will definitely increase hundreds of times." Gu Yifeng was extremely excited, but also full of worries.
The method of using spiritual power is indeed very powerful, but it also consumes a great deal of energy. With Gu Yifeng's current strength, he can only last for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. If he encounters an enemy, he will have absolutely no chance of winning.
"Let's cultivate first!" Gu Yifeng thought to himself.
"Whoosh!"
Then, he began to circulate the Soul Devouring Technique, frantically devouring spiritual energy from all directions!
Meanwhile, in another location, the man in black robes frowned suddenly as soon as he left the main hall.
"Um?"
"Is someone trying to steal that sword?"
The next moment, he raised his right arm, flicked his fingers, and instantly a streak of dark lightning ripped through the sky, shooting towards Gu Yifeng.
"Bang!"
With a muffled groan, Gu Yifeng was knocked to the ground, a drop of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.
"Damn it, it's that demon!" Gu Yifeng gritted his teeth. He could clearly feel his soul being attacked and he was on the verge of collapse.
"Pfft!"
Just then, another bolt of dark lightning streaked across the sky.
"Get out!" Gu Yifeng roared, raising his hand to strike out with a palm.
"Bang!"
Gu Yifeng was sent flying backward, spitting out blood.
"So powerful!" Gu Yifeng was deeply shaken.
He could sense that the black-robed man's power was absolutely no less than that of any saint-level expert.
Moreover, that's not the most crucial point. The crucial point is that the man in black robes was actually using the power of thunder!
The power of thunder is yin and has a suppressive effect on ghostly creatures.
Although Gu Yifeng has a skeleton clone, it is not his real body. It is fine for dealing with ghosts and demons, but if he encounters real lightning, he will definitely die nine times out of ten.
"Whoosh!" Gu Yifeng didn't dare to linger in the fight and hurriedly retreated, leaving the ancient tomb.
...
When Gu Yifeng left the ancient tomb, his face was pale and he was covered in sweat.
Inside the ancient tomb, a man in black robes stands next to a sculpture.
The sculpture is about 2.5 meters tall and is very lifelike. It is dressed in armor, holds a longbow, has eyes like lightning, and has an imposing presence.
She is a majestic female general riding a fiery unicorn!
The material of this sculpture is very special; it is neither stone nor jade, and it shimmers with a faint light.
