“Blood Slaughter Dance!” Ren Pingsheng whispered, having mastered the first move of the Blood Slaughter Sword Technique. He swung his azure sword fiercely, and a blood-red sword aura shot out. All the demons within the range of the sword aura swayed like drunken fools before the sword light even reached them.
Naturally, they could not escape the Blood Slaughter Sword Technique. Swept by the sword aura, they were all torn apart into a pile of flesh, but there was surprisingly little blood among the corpses of these slain demons.
“This Blood Slaughter Sword Technique is indeed powerful. It is said that when mastered to perfection, with just a slight movement, one can ignite the blood within a person's body, causing them to suffer unbearable pain. Unfortunately, comprehending Blood Realm is too ethereal,” he remarked with a sigh upon seeing such effects even at his current level.
“Blood Realm is indeed rare; even among our demon race, only those geniuses who are heavily inclined towards slaughter can comprehend it. As for you, it depends on fate,” the Demon Emperor said.
“That’s all for later; for now, let’s focus on getting out of here alive! By the way, I wonder if we can fly out? Since our entrance came from above, if we could fly, wouldn’t we be able to escape?” Ren Pingsheng asked suddenly.
“I don’t know, but I think it should be quite difficult. Many who fell into this Abyss of Demons are far more powerful than you; among them are many esteemed and sect-level experts, yet none have managed to escape. That says it all. Of course, if you can break through to become an esteemed expert, you might give it a try.”
“Esteemed expert? Only by becoming an esteemed expert can one fly, but that seems quite difficult,” Ren Pingsheng shook his head; he was currently only at the high-level Martial Master realm, and breaking through was not something that could be achieved overnight.
“Hehe, here you can be said to be like a fish in water; as long as you don’t encounter powerful enemies, you basically have no worries about your life. Next, you might have to stay here for a long time; what’s impossible about breaking through?” The Demon Emperor looked far ahead.
“Maybe! Uh… what’s happening?” Ren Pingsheng paused in his fighting and felt a sharp pain in his meridians. He immediately broke into a cold sweat; he couldn’t afford any issues with his body right now.
“This should be due to your continuous activation of the Killing Heart, which has now reached its limit!” The Demon Emperor quickly identified the problem after understanding the situation.
“Know that this Killing Heart is like a secret technique; there are definitely limitations when it is used and generally cannot be sustained for too long. You have been using it for half an hour now; experiencing side effects is quite normal. You should stop using it for now!”
After hearing this, Ren Pingsheng closed his eyes to feel it and then severed the inexplicable connection with the Killing Heart. Once the connection was cut off, his cultivation began to regress continuously until he slowly returned to his previous high-level Martial Master realm. The pain in his meridians quickly diminished and disappeared after being cleansed by demonic energy.
“This Killing Heart is indeed impressive; after stopping its use, all side effects vanished without any noticeable aftereffects.” He chuckled in amazement.
“Yes, this is where the Killing Heart differs from those secret techniques; those usually come with significant aftereffects and may even consume one’s vitality,” the Demon Emperor was also quite knowledgeable about the Killing Heart.
“True enough, but there is a small regret with this Killing Heart: after using it once, one must wait ten days before using it again.”
“Haha, that’s not bad at all. Did you expect to use it every day? Such good fortune doesn’t exist in this world!”
With his cultivation restored, Ren Pingsheng's speed in killing demons slowed significantly; he was more cautious than before. Now facing a demon at the level of a Demon Sovereign—even with continuous support from demonic energy—he would still suffer considerable injuries. Without the powerful effect of the Killing Heart, he had no choice but to restrain himself somewhat.
However, the number of Demons that died at his hands was increasing every moment. Each Corpse still contained wisps of Gray Mist, flowing into the gray Heart within his body. Once this Killing Heart was formed, it seemed to have infinite capacity, continuously absorbing malevolence and Killing Power.
A month passed in the blink of an eye, and Ren Pingsheng was constantly battling on the outskirts. Since he didn't have to worry about the consumption of Demonic Energy, he could deal with these Demons without putting in all his effort, and the consumption of his mental Soul was not significant either; he could basically recover what he used up today by the next day. This was also the reason he could keep battling; otherwise, even with sufficient Demonic Energy, his spirit would not be able to hold out.
After a month of continuous Battle, Ren Pingsheng had become more proficient in using the Killing Heart. He discovered that the effect of the Killing Heart lasted for an hour. During this time, it could be stopped at any moment and then activated again whenever needed. As long as the activation time did not exceed one hour, there would be no issues.
This was definitely good news for him; after all, when fighting against others, sometimes battles could be resolved quickly. If he activated the Killing Heart, wouldn't that waste the remaining time? If a formidable enemy appeared later, it would be dangerous, but now he no longer had such worries.
The ability to stop at any time and activate it whenever he wanted was far superior to those Secret Techniques. It was no wonder that the Demon Emperor had always spoken enviously.
In addition to this, Ren Pingsheng had also gained significantly in other areas; both the Soul Chasing Sword Technique and the Blood Slaughter Sword Technique were already perfected. Battle was always the best way to hone one's Sword Technique, especially after a month of relentless fighting.
At the same time, he had also perfected his learned Movement Technique, the True Demon Dance Steps. This was a top-tier Earth-Level Movement Technique, perfectly suited for Ren Pingsheng. Now, his achievements in the realm of the Demonic Path were no less than before.
“Phew... I don't know when this continuous Battle will come to an end. Demon Emperor, I want to venture deeper into the Abyss of Demons,” one day, Ren Pingsheng finally couldn't hold back any longer.
“Hmm, you've been on the outskirts for almost two months now. Since there's no way to leave, we might as well venture deeper. However, I don't know how vast this Abyss of Demons is; it's certainly fraught with danger inside. Your cultivation level makes it even more perilous, so you must be careful,” said the Demon Emperor, hesitating before speaking.
“But you're here, right? Just keep an eye on our surroundings. If we encounter a powerful foe, we can just flee.”
“It's not that simple. I'm afraid that danger lurks everywhere deeper inside. By then, escaping might not even be possible. Just look at how powerful these outer area Demons are; if we go deeper, there will surely be many with cultivation levels comparable to that of a Demon Lord. In fact, improving your cultivation should be your top priority.”
“I know that too, but I can't calm down and focus on breaking through if I don't take a look,” said Ren Pingsheng helplessly. In a situation where death could come at any moment, who could truly find peace?
“Alright then, let's go take a look. If we can find a way out, that would be best. If it's too dangerous, we'll retreat and wait until your cultivation has broken through,” said the Demon Emperor, pondering for a moment before agreeing.
“Haha! Let's set off! I want to see what lies deep within this Abyss of Demons!” He chuckled lightly and then surrounded himself with demonic shadows; with one step, he vanished into the distance, leaving those lower-level Demon Generals unable to stop him.
Soon after, Ren Pingsheng delved deeper for over ten miles. The cultivation level of the Demons here was considerably stronger; while the previous ones were at early to mid-levels of Demon General, those here were close to achieving perfection in their state.
Although Ren Pingsheng still felt relaxed, he became vigilant inside. It seemed that as they ventured deeper, the strength of the Demons increased significantly; this was likely not unfounded but rather entirely true.
“Kid, watch out! A Demon with Demon Lord-level cultivation is approaching! Be careful!” suddenly warned the Demon Emperor.
“A Demon Lord-level Demon? That’s within expectations,” replied Ren Pingsheng, nodding slightly without showing any fear. Even though his cultivation might not match that of a Demon Lord-level Demon, he could now activate his Killing Heart, so he felt no fear at all.
A tall Demon soon appeared before Ren Pingsheng. Upon seeing it, he immediately activated Killing Heart, and his entire demeanor changed. His eyes turned blood red, and even the color of his hair slightly altered; if one did not pay close attention, they would not notice.
At that moment, Ren Pingsheng seemed like a different person, his gaze icy and devoid of any emotional fluctuations. This was also what puzzled him; every time he activated Killing Heart, he felt an absolute calmness, unaffected by any external factors.
"Kill!" he whispered sharply. The Azure Wind Sword in his hand flashed with Sword Qi, and a blood-red Sword Qi surged toward the Demon, who had the cultivation of a Demon Lord. Just as it was about to make a move, it felt its blood boil as if it were on fire, the pain unbearable.
This moment of delay marked the difference between life and death; it was directly split in half by the Sword Qi. As the Corpse fell, it was devoured by nearby Demons.
"Kid, be careful!" The Demon Emperor's warning had just been uttered when a terrifying aura rushed toward Ren Pingsheng. He felt his whole body tense up, even experiencing slight tremors.
"This is a Demon with the cultivation of the Demon Sect; you are no match for it. Run!" Before Ren Pingsheng could react, the Demon Emperor shouted.
"A Demon with the cultivation of the Demon Sect? I'll test your power." His expression serious, Ren Pingsheng's Azure Wind Sword began to tremble violently as countless Black Magic Energies started to gather on the blade.
"One sword to chase the soul, kill!" Ren Pingsheng shouted loudly, his long hair billowing as a black Sword Qi over three yards long emerged, looking extremely terrifying as it slashed down.
"Roar..." The Demon with the cultivation of the Demon Sect let out a long howl and swiped down with its claw, causing the entire world to seem to collapse. Ren Pingsheng's Sword Qi trembled in mid-air before being shattered by the Demon’s claw in an instant. It then struck Ren Pingsheng directly.
"Ah..." Ren Pingsheng screamed in agony as he was sent flying far away. At that moment, he realized that the gap in cultivation was too great; even with the help of Killing Heart, he was completely outmatched.
At this point, he dared not hesitate any longer; only one thought filled his mind: 'escape.' His figure paused in mid-air and suddenly vanished. When he reappeared, he was already two hundred yards away, and after a few flickers, he disappeared without a trace.
