NOVEL NEXT Chapter 158
Chapter 158: Tremendous Power Boost! The Might of a Single Sword, Terrifying Beyond Measure!
Whoosh!
Light flickered, and several people were transported out.
Among them was Lin Xiaotian, his eyes showing fear.
“The demons are insane, countless and overwhelming,” he swallowed hard.
If he hadn’t reacted quickly enough and used the Abyss Token, he wouldn’t have made it out.
More people appeared in rapid succession.
—
“Sword Two!”
“Sword Three!”
“Sword Four!”
…
“Sword Nineteen!”
Brilliant sword light crisscrossed the sky, and the terrifying sword energy swept across the universe!
It was an astonishing scene.
On the black and red ground, tens of thousands of demons surged forward, only to be instantly sliced to pieces.
The swordsman, bare-chested with wild black hair, had cold, frosty eyes.
Countless black chains surged around him, piercing and refining the demons.
“Demon Suppression Power!” the last Level 5 demon exclaimed in disbelief.
But in the next second, it burst into flames and turned into demonic energy.
This place wasn’t part of the Deception Sound Heavenly Demon clan but another, weaker demon clan.
The clan leader was the only Level 5 demon.
Meng Changqing seized the demonic energy and devoured it entirely, converting it into spiritual cultivation fuel.
Simultaneously, the sound of breaking came from within his body as his realm advanced again!
Divine Attainment Realm Fourth Level!
Such an astonishing cultivation speed — only five or six days had passed, and he had leapt from the first to the fourth Level!
“Not bad,” Meng Changqing finally allowed a smile on his cold face.
However, to advance further, he needed much more demonic energy, roughly eight wisps, equivalent to eight Level 5 demons!
Such a large quantity could only be found in the Deception Sound Heavenly Demon’s territory, a place beyond the map and highly dangerous.
“No rush. There’s no need to go to them. They will come to me,” Meng Changqing cracked his neck, the sound of bones echoing, his oppressive aura spreading.
Crimson Sky in his hand softened, almost in awe.
He turned around, and the chains retracted, revealing a dense cloud of demonic energy.
Most of it was Level 1 or 2, useless to him but beneficial for others in his sect.
Divine Attainment Realm warriors could use it to enhance their spiritual cultivation, and for Dao Creation Realm disciples, it could help them understand the path of the spirit, aiding their breakthrough to the Divine Attainment Realm.
Meng Changqing collected all the demonic energy in his storage ring, absorbing only the Level 3 and above.
He didn’t plan to hide the existence of the true demonic art.
His rapid cultivation progress couldn’t be explained otherwise.
He also intended to share the demonic art with his sect.
Although precious, not everyone could cultivate it since it required Demon Suppression artifacts, which were incredibly rare even in ancient times.
Only someone with extraordinary luck, like Bai Suxi, could master it.
For others, it would remain a collectible.
Additionally, he had another purpose.
This approach should improve the headmaster’s opinion of him.
“The Undying Truth King Art (Volume One),” Meng Changqing thought.
He hadn’t cultivated this art due to lack of time, so obtaining attributes from the headmaster was the best choice.
Clearing his mind, Meng Changqing sped off into the distance.
He remembered another Level 5 demon tribe hundreds of miles away — he couldn’t let it go.
—
“Sword Five!” Mo Xiaoyu stepped into the air, unleashing powerful sword energy, pushing her innate sword body to the limit.
Surrounding her were three Level 5 demons, two low-tier and one mid-tier, all possessing hosts. After possession, demons could not only use their innate talents but sometimes inherit the host’s skills, such as martial techniques.
“Wind-Breaking Blade: Frost Slash!” The mid-tier demon, resembling a human warrior with blood-red eyes, unleashed a torrent of blade energy, clashing continuously with Mo Xiaoyu.
If it were just the blade-wielding demon, she wouldn’t be afraid, but the other two used their talents to mentally interfere and attack her sea of consciousness, making her struggle.
“Despicable!” Mo Xiaoyu cursed, but the demons remained indifferent, wearing cruel smiles.
“An innate sword body! No wonder Dos was killed!”
They assumed the innate sword body was responsible for Dos’s death.
“I want this body!” the blade-wielding demon said greedily.
“Brother, don’t you prefer larger, more powerful bodies? Let me have this one!” another demon pleaded.
“Normally, I’d let you, but this is an innate sword body! Possessing it would let me cultivate swordsmanship like humans, greatly increasing my power!” The blade-wielding demon licked his lips, and the other two fell silent, realizing they had no choice but to defer to their stronger companion.
“Dammit! How dare you covet my body! Die!” Mo Xiaoyu’s cute face was filled with rage.
But anger didn’t change reality.
Against three demons, she was gradually losing ground.
“Looks like I’ll have to escape,” she sighed inwardly.
She wanted to stay and temper herself, especially to grow in spiritual cultivation and understanding of sword intent, but she was falling short.
“Sword Twenty-One!” Suddenly, a cold voice rang out.
Mo Xiaoyu witnessed a shocking scene — a terrifying sword light slashed from afar, arriving in an instant.
The demons’ faces changed drastically, sensing an overwhelming power in the sword, impossible to block.
The sword light was too fast to dodge, forcing them to defend.
Crack!
Yet, all efforts were in vain.
Their defenses shattered like paper, and their spiritual consciousness was also destroyed.
The might of a single sword was terrifying beyond measure!
The swordsman’s figure appeared the next moment.
The wind blew, his black hair danced wildly, and his cold, stern face resembled eternal ice.
