My Master Knows It All

664: Chapter 210_3 664: Chapter 210_3 The next moment, a beam of light shot from the top of the tombstone, and a golden sword light suddenly took flight.

Almost simultaneously, Xiang Ziyu swung his sword as well.

He had refrained from striking down those blood demons before this very moment for a reason.

Indeed, the formation had been laid by the Heaven Illusion Sword Monarch.

Under normal circumstances, with his current cultivation base, he naturally couldn’t contend with this formation.

But now the Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth had arrived, and the Heavenly Dao no longer permitted the existence of power beyond that of a Golden Core.

The masters of the Earth Immortal Realm, one after another, had to slumber.

Even if they hadn’t fallen into slumber now, the moment they exerted the power of the Earth Immortal Realm and were detected by the Heavenly Dao, they would immediately fall into a deep sleep.

The same went for formations; although a formation itself cannot sleep, it is no longer able to wield power beyond that of the Earth Immortal Realm.

If it was a force of the Golden Core Stage, could he still be unable to block this sword light?

Xiang Ziyu brandished his sword once more, and it seemed to be for the sake of proving himself.

For this strike, he still used what he called the Heavenly Illusion Sword Technique.

Compared to the previous two times, the technique appeared even more refined and powerful.

In the void, the golden sword light that shot from the tombstone collided with hundreds of sword lights unleashed by Xiang Ziyu, and for a moment, the sword lights he conjured shattered one after another.

Even if this sword bore only the power of a Golden Core Stage, it came from one who, during his era, might rank as the third most powerful existence.

The current Xiang Ziyu, not at the peak of his strength, could not compare, especially considering that the sword technique he used was one he had just learned.

In just the blink of an eye, the golden light had broken through the hundred sword lights and fell upon the scattered blood below.

Each trace of blood was instantly vaporized.

However, although the sword light Xiang Ziyu shot out was broken, it ultimately still affected the golden sword light.

This strike hadn’t evaporated all of the blood, and some still splattered onto the tombstone.

Yet the next moment, the tombstone itself began hissing, and the spilled blood vanished in an instant, leaving no trace on its surface.

“Alright, there’s no need to try any longer,” Li Ke said, shaking her head upon seeing this, “You can regard this entire world as a formation, after all, which was laid by an unparalleled master.

Its momentum isn’t so easily exploited by finding a flaw.

To leave this place, to completely drench this tombstone in red, we must use the essence blood of those blood demons.”

As Li Ke spoke, she gave Xiang Ziyu another look, her gaze filled with amazement.

Xiang Ziyu had just started learning the sword technique, and what he learned might even be a false version.

Yet every time Xiang Ziyu executed the technique, one could sense his immense progress.

She considered herself a genius; she was quick to learn divine skills and to master various sword and blade techniques, but she couldn’t keep pace with Xiang Ziyu, who made such vast improvements in such a short time.

She now somewhat understood why Cao Zhen had previously appointed Xiang Ziyu as the Elder of Transmissions.

If Xiang Ziyu’s cultivation of other divine skills was also this swift…

Impossible.

Sword techniques and divine skills are different, after all, and every divine skill is unique.

Some specialize in flame divine skills, others in the divine skills of water; it’s impossible for one person to excel at all divine skills.

Xiang Ziyu’s cultivation of divine skills may indeed be rapid, but it could not possibly be as freakish as this.

Cao Zhen, however, was once more inspecting his own status screen.

Heavenly Illusion Sword Technique (Modified): Level Eleven!

In just a short time, having executed the sword technique merely thrice, the modified technique had already reached level eleven!

This is the strength that comes from mastering one thing and thus understanding all!

Therefore, this youngster, Xiang Ziyu, had not put enough effort into his divine skill cultivation before.

Upon returning, he would surely have to ensure Xiang Ziyu earnestly cultivates divine skills.

No, making him cultivate might not ensure his diligent effort.

Now that he was Sect Leader, everyone in the Hundred Peaks Sect had to follow his arrangements, and he also had access to the sect’s many facilities.

As a Sect Leader, finding a small dark room wasn’t asking too much.

Then, he’d confine Xiang Ziyu there, forcing the lad to cultivate divine skills.

Until he brought each divine skill to the pinnacle of Great Perfection at the Golden Core Stage, he wouldn’t be allowed to leave.

That wasn’t too much to ask, was it?

As Cao Zhen pondered, the Blood River surged again, and several blood demons flew out from within, this time seven, but before the blood demons could launch an attack, everyone’s assault landed.

In a flash, all seven blood demons were slain.

On the two previous occasions when blood demons had appeared, it was Xiang Ziyu who directly struck them down or captured them.

But this time, as the blood demons emerged, everyone joined the fight, and Xiang Ziyu managed to slay just one.

“This, the blood demons are emerging too slowly,” Xiang Ziyu complained as he sent the essence blood of a blood demon onto the tombstone.

As expected, the tombstone showed no reaction to the blood demon’s essence blood – a fresh crimson mark was simply added on its surface.

“These blood demons, they’re nowhere near enough for us to kill.

Master, why don’t we just go down there, into the Boundless Bloody Hell?” Xiang Ziyu straightforwardly proposed to Cao Zhen, “After all, at this moment, no force greater than the Golden Core Stage is allowed to exist.

We are the strongest beings in the world.

With our strength, where couldn’t we effortlessly go?

We could just directly go in and kill until we’ve slain enough blood demons, then bring the essence blood back.”
