Chapter 488: Chapter 351: Don’t Reason With a Cheater

The Sui Xian Sword Spirit, for its part, now completely acknowledged Yu Changsheng. The more it looked at him, the more pleased it was. It subconsciously cast aside its initial thought that it was hard to say whether he would pass.

The Sui Xian Sword Spirit suddenly found itself having immense confidence in Yu Changsheng.

Naturally, Yu Changsheng was unaware of its thoughts. He was currently focused wholeheartedly on his grand undertaking.

’System, activate!’

Yu Changsheng was smiling inwardly. ’As long as I reach the Beginner level of comprehension, the rest will be much simpler.’

[Dark Annihilation Killing Evil Sword: Proficient (0/10,000)]

[Consumed 1,000 Essence Points. Dark Annihilation Killing Evil Sword has been upgraded to Mastery!]

[Dark Annihilation Killing Evil Sword: Mastery (0/50,000)]

In that instant, another three hundred of the sky-filling Sword Shadows froze, leaving their trajectories to hang suspended in the void, shimmering like starlight.

’Continue!’

Yu Changsheng merely glanced up before withdrawing his gaze. He took a moment to absorb the new insights and then continued to add points.

His Divine Sense had now reached the level of Golden Core Peak, and its capacity was far beyond what it once was. He naturally didn’t have to worry that upgrading too many Cultivation Techniques in a short time would cause his soul to explode from being unable to digest the influx of information.

This was all still well within his limits. It was nothing to him.

[Consumed 10,000 Essence Points! Successfully upgraded Dark Annihilation Killing Evil Sword to Minor Achievement!]

[Dark Annihilation Killing Evil Sword: Minor Achievement (100/100,000)]

...

BUZZ! BUZZ! BUZZ!

Another three hundred Sword Shadows left their orbits and hung suspended in the air.

The Sui Xian Sword Spirit was already growing numb to it, left staring dumbfounded.

’It’s happening again, it’s happening again... This terrifying Comprehension... It’s simply absurd! Even Master wasn’t this outrageous back then, was he!’

The Sui Xian Sword Spirit secretly gulped. For the first time in its existence, it felt a flicker of doubt when comparing someone to Cao Jinxian. ’It’s just... you can’t compete with a cheater!’

’He really is a genius of the Sword Dao!’

Ultimately, this one thought became more and more certain in the Sui Xian Sword Spirit’s mind.

...

[Consumed 100,000 Essence Points! Successfully upgraded Dark Annihilation Killing Evil Sword to Great Success!]

[Dark Annihilation Killing Evil Sword: Great Success (1,000/200,000!)]

A brilliant Sword Light, suffused with an intent of annihilation and evil-slaying, suddenly shot out from above Yu Changsheng’s head. Space trembled as his eyes snapped open, and an invisible Sword Intent erupted forth.

In a single instant, another one thousand Sword Shadows in the sky above broke free from their original control, freezing in the air to fall under Yu Changsheng’s command.

Added to the previous one thousand, he now controlled a total of two thousand Sword Shadows—two-tenths of the whole. They were like unbridled wild horses, completely out of sync with the rest and standing out like cranes among chickens.

"Still not enough..."

Yu Changsheng softly uttered these three words, sensing the increasingly sharp Sword Shadows around him. Without further delay, he swallowed an Elixir, suppressed his mental fatigue, and closed his eyes once more. His vast Divine Sense erupted.

Just as before, he had reached a limit after upgrading the Dark Annihilation Killing Evil Sword to Great Success. Controlling one thousand Sword Shadows was the absolute peak of this Swordsmanship; adding more points to increase its proficiency would be useless.

’A Tier Three Elixir... a Spiritual Supplement Pill...’

As the Tier Three Elixir dissolved in his mouth, the depleted Power of Divine Soul within his Sea of Consciousness was rapidly replenished. A cooling sensation rippled through his body, causing him to relax completely and making it easier to enter the required mental Status.

Repeatedly unleashing his Divine Sense Power placed an immense burden on Yu Changsheng’s Divine Soul. Imprinting the dense swarm of Sword Shadows onto his Divine Sense was already pushing him to his absolute limit.

Moreover, the need to constantly deconstruct, analyze, and reconstruct them was overdrawing his mental energy. He could only manage to hold on by relying on Elixirs.

’Good thing I have Master Yang providing for me...’

At times like this, Yu Changsheng couldn’t help but feel a wave of gratitude for Yang Tianyi—a mix of thankfulness and relief.

...

The Sword Shadows were ferocious. As the remaining eight thousand descended one by one, even with his peerless physique, Yu Changsheng felt intense pain.

The intense pain, in turn, made it even harder for Yu Changsheng to enter the required Status, and his brows furrowed tightly.

Sword Light filled the sky; the Sword Shadows seemed like a collapsing heaven. They churned within the sea of his Divine Soul, stirring up a storm and raising massive waves. At that moment, the piercing Sword Intent sent a stinging pain through his very Divine Sense.

The Sword Shadows descended, each carrying an unstoppable force that could clear all obstacles. Their power reached the level of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator. They rained down in a dense, continuous barrage. Even his mountain-like body was bombarded until it swayed on the verge of collapse, battered and full of craters.

A violent tearing sensation washed over him in waves, jarring his nerves. Every cell in his body screamed in protest.

’Almost there, almost there... If I just hold on a little longer, I’ll be able to see it clearly...’

Yu Changsheng’s eyebrows twitched. He fought the urge to open his eyes, suppressing the piercing pain in his Divine Soul and body. The movements of the Sword Shadows, every point and every stroke, were continuously being analyzed in his mind...

With a CRACK, the Thousand Mountain Armor crumbled into motes of dust and stone. Under the relentless bombardment of the Sword Shadows, the Divine Light Heaven-Piercing Cloak was covered in spreading cracks until, with a final RUMBLE, it dissolved into golden light and slowly dissipated.

PFFT...

A sweet taste rose in Yu Changsheng’s throat as his qi and blood surged. His chest heaved violently, and a trickle of fresh blood spilled from the corner of his mouth. Under the onslaught of the Sword Shadows, his formidable body was subjected to what felt like a thousand cuts. Gash after gash appeared on his skin until, in an instant, he was completely drenched in his own blood. He looked like a demon crawling out of hell, an indescribably terrifying sight.
