Apocalypse: Master of Soul Beasts

Chapter 437: Chapter 50: Profound Sword Technique (Extra Chapter in gratitude for Mahuateng’s generous support)_1

Another half hour passed, and all one hundred Sequence members had taken their turns. For roughly the next dozen minutes or so, the glow of a challenge teleportation did not appear.

This also meant that the general order of the Sequence in this Sequence Member-Ranking Battle had largely been determined!

Independents—62. Warriors affiliated with the military—38.

Originally, nearly 90 Sequence members had been affiliated with the military.

Meanwhile, among the top ten Sequence members, those affiliated with the military were reduced to only four: Sequence Number 1—Tang Haofei, Sequence Number 7—Qin Min, Sequence Number 9—Lan Bo, and Sequence Number 10—Vincent.

From this, one could clearly see just how many powerful experts were hidden in the world.

Most people were waiting for the final fight, and the youth in the leather jacket did not keep them waiting too long.

Another five minutes passed in the blink of an eye. With two streaks of white light flashing below Wen Yu, Walter and the youth in the leather jacket were teleported into the Challenge Space.

Everyone seated above fixed their eyes on the upcoming fight below, not blinking once!

Among powerful experts, there is always an inexplicable intuition, which can also be classified as a sixth sense. Just as Walter, with his unique constitution and special skills, could sense the threat radiating from Wen Yu, similarly, when facing the youth in the leather jacket before him, Walter’s skin even registered a prickling pain and an indescribable sensation.

Sharpness, along with a stronger and unknown force! And most of this force was concentrated in the spine of the youth in the leather jacket before him.

”My name is Walter.”

Walter did not hurry to attack; instead, he rather politely introduced himself to the youth in the leather jacket.

Caught off guard, the youth in the leather jacket relaxed the Energy Fluctuations he had gathered in his hand and gave Walter a slight nod. ”My name is Qin Tian. I am from Singapore.”

By rights, an expert of this caliber should not have gone undiscovered in Cathay under Lin Haifeng’s rule. Thus, Qin Tian, being a Singaporean Chinese, naturally explained his unknown status.

Seeing that the innocent Walter seemed to want to say more, Qin Tian was in no mood for idle chatter on the stage. He directly launched an attack on the completely unguarded Walter!

The next second, a pale Sword Light soared into the sky!

Sitting outside the arena, Wen Yu clearly saw Qin Tian’s attack method.

Qin Tian used a sword, but it was different from an ordinary longsword; Qin Tian’s sword was his own skeleton!

A sword, less than a meter long, instantly shot out from Qin Tian’s palm. Then, from dozens of meters away, it slashed directly at Walter!

Power that Breaks Space (SSS-Class, Passive Ability): Every attack of the host will be accompanied by the Power that Breaks Space. The host can directly attack any target within a one-hundred-meter diameter around him, regardless of the distance between both parties and his own attack range.

Note: Who says that close-combat weapons are short-ranged?

At the same time, another ability was attached to the bone sword blade.

Space Slice (SSS-Class, Passive Ability): When using bladed weapons, the power of Space Slice is automatically added to the host’s attack, directly cutting through space. This cannot be blocked by any items or skills below the Esoteric Level.

These two terrifying SSS-Class Passive Abilities had fueled Qin Tian’s meteoric rise, allowing him to cut down opponents with just two sword strikes and instantly ascend to the legendary status of Sequence Number 4!

The pale Sword Light traversed space and distance, appearing directly at Walter’s waist. Then, with a single stroke, the Sword Light sliced Walter in two!

Walter’s face showed a hint of surprise. He clearly hadn’t expected Qin Tian to be so devoid of knightly spirit, launching a fatal attack without even asking if he was ready.

Fortunately, this type of pure physical damage did not harm Walter in the slightest.

The Sword Light slashed across Walter’s waist, cleaving him in two. The next second, the wound on Walter’s waist flowed back together and healed instantly, as if it were made of water.

This was an ability similar to becoming an elemental type, not much different from Wen Yu’s Pitch-dark Sovereign ability. Such abilities were all categorized as bug-level abilities, granting complete physical immunity!

Having easily dodged the attack, Walter’s fingertips immediately condensed numerous water droplets, which he then flicked out with his finger.

The water droplets shot towards Qin Tian. Mid-air, they had already expanded, and by the time they reached Qin Tian, most of their mass had converted into energy, erupting in an incredibly violent explosion!

One wave followed another. The water droplets on Walter’s hand flashed frenetically as vast quantities of them, like a torrential downpour, swept towards Qin Tian. Then, violent explosions and billowing smoke instantly enveloped the entire arena!

Wen Yu stared intently at the battle below, but unfortunately, he couldn’t see anything clearly.

In the confined space, tens of thousands of miniature nuclear explosions were continuously generated. Fortunately, the Dominator’s protective barrier was exceptionally robust; otherwise, the entire arena might not have withstood such destruction.

Amidst the dust churned up by these explosions, trying to discern the situation inside the arena through a protective shield was undoubtedly an exercise in futility.

After the terrifying explosions, which lasted nearly five minutes, a pale Sword Light suddenly pierced through the dust stirred up by the blasts. Like a meteor streaking across the dark sky, it furiously slashed towards the spot where Walter had been.

The unknown yet powerful force contained within it even made Wen Yu’s skin tingle with a slight sting!

Profound Sword Technique (Esoteric Level, Active Ability): Transforms all the user’s bones into sword implements, with their spine serving as the main sword. The main sword can be nurtured within the body. If the nurturing time exceeds seven seconds, the intensity of the next attack made with the main sword doubles! If the nurturing time exceeds seven minutes, the attack intensity increases fivefold! If the nurturing time exceeds seven hours, the attack intensity increases tenfold! If the nurturing time exceeds seven days, the attack intensity increases one hundredfold! If the nurturing time exceeds seven months, the attack intensity increases one thousandfold! If the nurturing time exceeds seven years, the main sword will carry an Absolute Death Strike!

Note: Absolute Death Strike: Once launched, this attack will inevitably hit its target, and upon impact, will inevitably cause the target’s death! This effect cannot be blocked by any items, defensive measures, or evasion techniques, and the target cannot be resurrected by any means!

This terrifying strike was launched by Qin Tian wielding the main sword formed from his spine. It had been a full month since he last used this longsword. This meant that this attack was one hundred times stronger than Qin Tian’s normal attacks!

Moreover, it was augmented by another skill Qin Tian had learned specifically to deal with opponents immune to physical damage:

Elemental Weapon (A-Class, Active Ability): Imbues a weapon with elemental properties, enhancing its damage intensity and types of damage!

Combined with Qin Tian’s other defensive ability, which could withstand violent explosions, these skills forged him into an exceptionally powerful expert with devastating offensive capabilities!

Sensing the enormous Sword Light in the arena, Wen Yu frowned slightly.

Wen Yu himself didn’t know Qin Tian’s skills. However, just by witnessing that powerful Sword Light, he knew the only way he could personally handle such an attack would be to retreat into the Netherworld—he absolutely couldn’t withstand it head-on!

He just didn’t know if Walter could survive this strike...
