In "Killing Heart," the Sword Momentum of Ren Pingsheng completely vanished, merging into his body. Then, the Slaughter aura from the surroundings immediately surged in, including the previously encountered Demon of Nine Thousand Nine Hundred Ninety-Nine Zhang. Now he was left with only half of his body, but the Slaughter aura within was even more concentrated and pure. It slowly flew into Ren Pingsheng's surroundings, enveloping him.
"Slaughter?" Ren Pingsheng was initially startled but soon calmed down upon realizing there were no other changes. At that moment, he felt all the fragments of Sword Momentum merging into his Sea of Consciousness. Here, they began to collide continuously, ultimately becoming more thorough.
Once their movements ceased, countless Slaughter auras from the Killing Heart suddenly merged into the Sea of Consciousness. As those already turned into tiny fragments of Sword Momentum slowly rotated, they continuously integrated with them.
Ren Pingsheng felt a sudden pain in his Sea of Consciousness; before he could react, an even more intense pain struck him, and then he lost consciousness.
Countless Slaughter auras from the Killing Heart continued to pour into his Sea of Consciousness, seemingly refining those shattered Sword Momentum fragments, allowing for their final transformation. Not only that, but even outside his body, countless Slaughter auras surged in.
This was the Abyss of Demons, where Slaughter auras were everywhere. This time it also had an impact. The area surrounding the unconscious Ren Pingsheng was filled with them for hundreds of feet. The gray Slaughter aura danced around, continuously merging into his body, causing nearby observing Demons to retreat in fear.
The Gray Longsword that had been guarding the surroundings thrived in this Slaughter aura. It flew around continuously, with many Slaughter auras merging into its body, making its brilliance even more dazzling.
Gradually, the surroundings became a Vortex, sweeping everything within it. Along with the influx of Slaughter auras came countless Demonic Energies, which were also the most massive energy in the Abyss of Demons. After entering Ren Pingsheng's body, the Slaughter auras would converge in the Killing Heart and then flow into the Sea of Consciousness.
Demonic Energy circulated through the Meridian and entered the Dantian. After being refined by the Eight-Colored Cyclone, it condensed into drops of Demonic Essence flowing into the Magic Origin Pool below. Now, this pool was nearly full.
This meant that Ren Pingsheng's strength would soon reach the peak of this realm; at that time, he would be able to approach the King Level Boundary infinitely. As long as he evolved the Slaughter Sword Intent, he could break through the King Level Boundary. At that point, he could be considered a powerful figure and truly step into the path of martial arts.
However, Ren Pingsheng was unaware of all this. He had long lost consciousness under the impact of the Slaughter aura.
Due to the influx of Slaughter aura into his Sea of Consciousness this time, he not only fell unconscious but also sank into an endless dreamscape. Here, he experienced countless dreams, each one drowning him in boundless Slaughter. He constantly battled and fought until he ultimately perished.
Such dreams continued endlessly; whether he succumbed to despair or struggled hard, he could not escape the fate of annihilation. It felt like an infinite cycle from which there was no escape, testing his nerves and willpower.
"Slaughter? Even so, I will carve out a path; one day I will break free," murmured Ren Pingsheng in his dream before being drenched in blood and finally collapsing in a pool of it.
At Southern Domain Sword Hidden Villa, a figure stood against the wind, exuding a majestic aura that made many feel a chill in their hearts. This was the presence of a king; it belonged only to a King-Level Expert.
"Eighteen years have passed; I have finally broken through," this person murmured softly while gazing into the distance. "Ren Pingsheng, we agreed to meet in Central Domain after thirty years; I hope you do not break your promise!"
This person turned out to be Xiao Cangjian; unexpectedly, he had now broken through and become a King-Level Expert. Reflecting on their previous encounter with Ren Pingsheng made him realize how quickly time had passed. By calculation, Ren Pingsheng had been in the Abyss of Demons for nearly fifteen years now.
"This time, after obtaining the last piece of the Heritage from the Trial Sword Tower, I will leave the Southern Region. The geniuses of the Central Domain, just wait!" Xiao Cangjian muttered to himself with a calm expression, then turned and flew towards the distant Trial Sword Tower. In just a flash, he disappeared from sight.
On that very day, a sensational news spread throughout the Southern Region. The former Supreme Sword Master had become the Supreme Sword King and had passed the ninetieth level of the Trial Sword Tower.
This caused an uproar in the entire Southern Region. The ninetieth level of the Trial Sword Tower was the final level, which meant that Xiao Cangjian had actually conquered the Trial Sword Tower. They immediately recalled the legend that those who passed through the Trial Sword Tower could obtain the complete Sword God Heritage and had hopes of becoming a Divine-Level Expert.
"This is incredible! Xiao Cangjian is truly terrifying; it's hard to imagine anyone from our young generation in the Southern Region being able to compete with him," many geniuses outside the Trial Sword Tower remarked.
"Indeed, that's the legendary Sword God Heritage. The last Divine-Level Expert from Ancient Times defied heaven, and wasn't it because he passed through the Trial Sword Tower that he became a Divine-Level Expert? It's truly frightening; we may never reach that height in our lifetimes."
"Haha, although Xiao Cangjian is impressive, saying no one can compete with him is wrong. Have you forgotten about that battle eighteen years ago?" Some geniuses spoke with jealousy, seemingly trying to diminish Xiao Cangjian's prestige.
"Are you talking about the Wind and Cloud Sword Sovereign? You're right; at that time, Fengyun Sword Sect and Dominant Sword Sect fought to a standstill. Moreover, they both passed through the Thirty-Third Layer of the Trial Sword Tower together," some geniuses recalled, with some even having witnessed that battle firsthand.
"Haha, but Wind and Cloud Sword Sovereign is ultimately not from our Southern Region. Besides, nearly twenty years have passed; we don't even know what his current cultivation level is. Xiao Cangjian has now become a King-Level Expert."
"Supreme Sword King, Xiao Cangjian. Is this what Ren Pingsheng referred to as one of the monsters of the Southern Region? Truly impressive. I don't know about the thirty layers of the Trial Sword Tower, but reaching sixty layers is terrifying; even I barely made it to the end. But soon enough, once I break through my cultivation, I'll challenge you."
This person was Situ Kong, who had come to the Southern Region years ago. Over a decade later, his cultivation was unfathomable, exuding an air of mystery. From his tone, it seemed he was only one step away from reaching King Level Boundary.
"Has Xiao Cangjian already broken through? First Seven Clever Gates and Seven Cleverness, then Cangjian Villa's Xiao Cangjian. However, Seven Cleverness broke through early due to obtaining Imperial-Level Inheritance. But Xiao Cangjian relied on his own strength. It seems I need to hurry; I'm close to my final step as well."
This person was surrounded by Demonic Energy and drenched in blood as he battled countless Demon Beasts; he was from Demon Path Sect and was known as Demon Prince.
Aside from Xiao Cangjian, those geniuses from the Southern Region whom Ren Pingsheng knew were also striving for breakthroughs; they were only one step away from King Level Boundary. It wouldn't be long—perhaps in a year or two—they would break through. However, given his current situation, it was uncertain whether it was good or bad and when he would awaken.
In Ren Pingsheng's unconscious state, demons piled up like mountains around him; however, since being surrounded by Killing Power here, few demons dared to approach anymore. Those that did come were at least at Demon King level but never returned after arriving.
The vortex that had been slowly rotating suddenly halted and then began spinning rapidly as countless Demonic Energy was drawn in.
It turned out that Ren Pingsheng's unconscious body emitted a terrifying suction force. The Demonic Energy was forcefully absorbed into his body, transforming into drops of Demonic Essence.
Even though Ren Pingsheng was unconscious, over these ten years of gradual accumulation had pushed his Demonic Path cultivation to its limits; he was now on the verge of breaking through. This stirred up the surrounding Demonic Energy restlessly.
The Eight-Colored Cyclone in his Dantian began rotating automatically without Ren Pingsheng's command as it refined the final Demonic Essence. The Magic Origin Pool below had already filled up with these Demonic Essences after they merged into it.
The Cyclone, which was originally spinning slowly, suddenly accelerated countless times. Countless Demonic Energy was absorbed and surged into the already full Magic Origin Pool. This action appeared much more violent, likely due to the absence of Ren Pingsheng's control.
“Buzzing…” The Magic Origin Pool began to shake violently due to the influx of Demonic Essence. It was like a water tank that had been filled to the brim, and now more water was pouring in without any way to refuse it; the consequences were predictable.
“Boom…” After shaking for a long time, the Magic Origin Pool could no longer withstand the surging Demonic Essence and was shattered. The previously unconscious Ren Pingsheng spat out a mouthful of Blood. Although he was not conscious, he still reacted to the injury.
The Cyclone in his Dantian did not stop its movements; its terrifying suction immediately drew in the Demonic Essence that had nowhere else to go and was about to go berserk. As it spun menacingly, it continued to refine the essence.
The shattered Magic Origin Pool began to merge back together within the Dantian. After a moment, a new Magic Origin Pool formed, twice the size of the previous one.
At this time, the Demonic Essence being refined in the Cyclone gradually began to fall into this new Magic Origin Pool. These Demonic Essence were now twice as pure as when he was at the Half-Step Monarch level.
It seemed that the purity of the True Essence or Demonic Essence within a King-Level Expert was double that of the Perfect Sect Level, and their quantity was also doubled. Coupled with a deeper understanding of more powerful Profound Meaning, this might explain why King-Level Experts were so formidable.
Due to Ren Pingsheng's breakthrough, the surrounding Vortex expanded suddenly by half, drawing in even more distant Demonic Energy. With a larger capacity for the new Magic Origin Pool, naturally, more Demonic Energy was required. A massive Black Wind Dragon continuously spun around.
This situation persisted for three days and nights before gradually subsiding. At this point, there was already one-fourth of the Demonic Essence in the Magic Origin Pool within Ren Pingsheng's Dantian, and the upper Eight-Colored Cyclone also began to slow down, occasionally dropping a drop of Demonic Essence, marking an end to his breakthrough.
Unbeknownst to him, his cultivation had thus broken through. If others were to find out, they would surely be envious. Others took great care during their breakthroughs, fearing any issues; meanwhile, he simply broke through while asleep.
At this moment, in terms of both quality and quantity of Demonic Essence, he could truly be considered a genuine King-Level Expert, only lacking in his final step—the comprehension of Sword Intent. Once he comprehended it, he would break through instantly.
