"Kill, kill, kill. Huh? Am I really out?" Ren Pingsheng opened his eyes in confusion, looking at the scene around him shrouded in Demonic Energy, unable to believe what he was seeing.
"Haha... I really made it out. After countless deaths, I've finally survived." After a moment of shock, confirming that he had indeed awakened from those nightmares, he burst into hearty laughter.
Over the years, he had been fighting for his life every moment in his dreams. It was a place filled with Slaughter, with no safe haven anywhere. He had gone from fleeing at the beginning to actively engaging in Slaughter by the end, a long journey during which he had died many times.
The feeling of death was something he experienced vividly each time. Just thinking back on it now sends chills down his spine. He had spent ten years in that place, experiencing thousands of such deaths.
Although he knew he would come back to life each time, fear still filled him. Because no one knew if this time would be the one where he truly died; that was the most terrifying part.
To avoid death, he engaged in Slaughter without restraint. Everything was just to survive. Fortunately, he had finally persevered. He didn't know what would have happened if he had given up there; would he have awakened again? His desire for life made him hesitant to take any chances.
"Oh, my cultivation level?" After waking up, Ren Pingsheng collected his thoughts and immediately noticed something unusual about himself. The surging Demonic Essence within him gave him the illusion that this body didn't belong to him.
"Could it be that my cultivation level broke through while I was unconscious?" he speculated in his mind.
"Well, whatever the case may be, this is a good thing. Now that my cultivation has broken through and combined with the Slaughter Sword Intent I fully comprehended in my dreams, I can prepare for another breakthrough."
The Slaughter Sword Intent was his greatest achievement after such a long time. In those ten years within the dream realm, he finally grasped the true essence of Slaughter, allowing Sword Momentum to undergo its final transformation from Sword Momentum to Sword Intent.
Now in his Sea of Consciousness, the shattered Sword Momentum had completely vanished. The Slaughter energy that once surged in was also gone. Only a gray small sword remained; it appeared merely as a faint illusion surrounded by grayish-white Killing Power, seeming so fragile that it could shatter with a gust of wind.
This was the Slaughter Sword Intent—Sword Momentum fused with a vast amount of Slaughter energy, combined with Ren Pingsheng's ultimate understanding, forming the key to breaking through to the King Level Boundary.
"I wonder how long I've been here. It seems once I break through my cultivation level, I need to find a way out." Ren Pingsheng stood up and moved his somewhat stiff body, speaking to himself.
Since leaving the Ancient Ruins and entering Spatial Turbulence until now, he had no idea how much time had passed. There was no concept of time in Spatial Turbulence, and after being unconscious here consecutively, how could he be clear about it?
"Then let's prepare for the breakthrough!" He glanced at the mountain of Demon Corpses surrounding him without much reaction. In his dreams, he had seen such scenes too many times; even more terrifying sights were witnessed before. To him, these were trivial matters that hardly stirred any emotions within him.
Ren Pingsheng sat among the Demon Corpses, focusing his mind and calming his spirit. The Demonic Energy around him began to stir and surged toward him. A Demonic Wind Dragon formed above his head as his consciousness expanded, sweeping through a hundred-mile radius of Demonic Energy and agitating the distant Demons into a frenzy with continuous roars.
His last breakthrough had been an unconscious one and could only be considered a half-step breakthrough; naturally, it did not produce such terrifying phenomena.
As Ren Pingsheng operated the Blood God Technique to absorb Demonic Energy while simultaneously using his consciousness to draw upon the Slaughter Sword Intent in his Sea of Consciousness, the two energies intertwined mysteriously and triggered the breakthrough phenomenon.
The Demonic Wind Dragon continued to spin, with the Demonic Energy being drawn in and merging into Ren Pingsheng's body, becoming Demonic Essence in the Magic Origin Pool. His cultivation level began to slowly increase in this invisible manner.
However, the sudden surge of Demonic Energy caused him to grunt softly, and it took a while for the slightly painful Meridian to recover. He was likely beginning to adapt to the impact of the Demonic Energy.
The Demons that had been attracted from afar also fell beneath the Gray Longsword. Even the Demon King's cultivation could not hold out for long here, and they all met their demise.
It was uncertain whether it was due to his previous breakthrough in cultivation, but this phenomenon was brief, lasting only half an hour. The slow increase of the Magic Origin Pool came to an unfortunate halt.
Although the increase in Demonic Essence during this short time was substantial, it was minor compared to the much larger Magic Origin Pool. To reach one-third of the capacity of the Magic Origin Pool, such a pace would require at least a month.
As the Demonic Wind Dragon gradually ceased its movement, the gray sword phantom in the Sea of Consciousness also slowly stopped absorbing the terrifying Killing Power from outside. When Ren Pingsheng broke through, it absorbed the Killing Power just like the Demonic Wind Dragon to enhance itself.
Fortunately, with the presence of Slaughter Sword Intent in the Sea of Consciousness, any incoming Killing Power was directly absorbed upon entry, causing no further impact on Ren Pingsheng.
In fact, there were many dangers associated with breakthroughs. For instance, the influx of massive amounts of Demonic Energy could place a significant burden on his body and Meridian. If his body’s Meridian were even slightly weaker, he might not only fail to break through but could also sustain serious injuries. It was not uncommon for such situations to result in death.
Previously, Ren Pingsheng's body had been severely damaged by an Emperor-Level Expert, but later, with the help of the magic god's Blood-red Radiance, he recovered. Moreover, what was more terrifying was that both his body and Meridian strength had increased several times over. This was why he could break through unconsciously and remain unharmed under the terrifying impact of the Demonic Energy.
The magic god's gifts were immense opportunities for someone like Ren Pingsheng. Thus, his breakthrough appeared effortless compared to others who had to proceed cautiously and fearfully.
While everything around him came to a halt, countless streams of Killing Power emanated from Ren Pingsheng. It was pure and danced within hundreds of feet around him, creating a chilling atmosphere.
The distant approaching Demons were suddenly halted by this stimulus, hesitating and daring not to come closer. Those who ran too fast or lacked sufficient cultivation were swept away by the Killing Power, instantly becoming corpses. This terrifying scene vanished in an instant.
"This Slaughter Sword Intent is indeed powerful," thought Ren Pingsheng, feeling delighted as he realized that his breakthrough in Slaughter Sword Intent had concluded. He reflected on how it could directly annihilate weaker cultivators from the Demon Sect. This was far superior to the power of Sword Momentum, completely on another level.
"Five points of Slaughter Sword Intent, this is my harvest from countless cycles of slaughter in dreams. Perhaps it can only be considered a beginning, but it has already far surpassed the power of Sword Momentum. Next, I will focus on comprehending it!" he murmured softly. Then he sensed familiar fluctuations—the feeling of the Unity of Heaven and Man.
Around him, green light flickered; it was the vibration of Wood's Profound Meaning. Ren Pingsheng chose to first comprehend this profound meaning because he had grasped twenty percent during his previous use of a Concentration Pill. Now that his cultivation had broken through, he could naturally comprehend it again.
During his last battle with his uncle, Ying Yitian, he had been unable to withstand due to insufficient understanding of profound meanings. He had only grasped thirty percent of the Golden Principle, which was not particularly distant for him; with effort, he could achieve it.
In this state of Unity of Heaven and Man, it felt as if he had entered an Essence Space, where insights surged forth, allowing him to gradually improve upon his previous understanding of twenty percent of Wood's Profound Meaning.
The swirling green light around him appeared denser than before. Countless flowers and trees emerged vibrantly alive amidst this abyss filled with Demonic Energy and slaughter—the scenery here was indeed unique.
Half an hour later, as the green light faded away, numerous streams of Azure Wind began to swirl around him; this stemmed from his comprehension of Wind's Essence. Since gaining insight into it in the Ascension Pool, he had not comprehended it further and remained at two points.
Now he is taking this opportunity to comprehend the Wind's Essence. The Wind Realm was also the first one he understood, and his application of it has become more instinctive. Moreover, the Wind's Essence is even more beneficial for the speed of the Movement Technique.
In the Wind's Essence Space, Ren Pingsheng closed his eyes and felt it; this time, his comprehension was faster. Perhaps it was due to his breakthrough in cultivation. It is said that the King Level Boundary allows for a quicker understanding of Profound Meaning, and there seems to be some truth to that. For the mere two points of Wind's Essence, comprehending it was several times faster than the previous Wood's Profound Meaning.
Finally, Azure Wind disappeared, and countless Killing Powers stirred restlessly, swirling and dancing continuously. Under the influence of Slaughter Sword Intent, they became even more active.
Slaughter Sword Intent was what he chose to comprehend last; after all, its understanding was closest to the present and also the most difficult. In the end, regardless of how much he comprehended, it was all just to familiarize himself with it.
The agitation of Killing Power in the Abyss of Demons did not last long before calming down. This state of Unity of Heaven and Man does not last long. Even with King Level Boundary cultivation, it would last at most two hours. After comprehending Wood's Profound Meaning and Wind's Essence, there wasn't much left.
"Slaughter Sword Intent!" Ren Pingsheng opened his eyes, and with a flicker of his consciousness, a Demon approaching from afar let out a shriek and fell silent. It appeared uninjured but had indeed lost its breath.
"It can directly extinguish internal vitality; however, this is only effective against those with lower cultivation levels. If both parties are at a similar level, its power may be somewhat diminished. However, since Slaughter Sword Intent is known as one of the three strongest Sword Intents, it still holds a significant advantage even against warriors of the same rank."
He stood up and moved his body around; then Demonic Essence surged forth, exuding an overwhelming aura that caused a nearby Demon to turn and flee in fear. However, some were still unwilling to give up and attempted to approach to devour the dead Demons' Corpses.
"Azure Wood Massacre, slash!" With a thought from Ren Pingsheng, the Changping Sword that had been in his Spatial Ring appeared directly in his hand. He glanced at the distant Demon; with a sweep of the Changping Sword, countless green Sword Qi flashed forth. Dozens of approaching Demons screamed as they were reduced to a pile of minced flesh, blood splattering everywhere.
"Is this what it means to be a King-Level Expert? The strength is indeed impressive; compared to before, it's like night and day."
From now on, he would fear nothing above or below!
(THE END)
