Dai Donglin covered the wound on his shoulder with his hand and ran for his life.
Chen Zong's speed of improvement was too terrifying. A few days ago, Chen Zong was suppressed by him, but a few days later, he completely surpassed him. Moreover, that kind of power seemed to be extraordinary.
Half-step Dao Intent!
Half-step Sword Intent!
An ordinary Half-Saint wouldn't know, but Dai Donglin knew a lot about it and had personally experienced it.
That was Half-step Sword Intent.
Even the top ten peerless geniuses didn't necessarily master Half-step Dao Intent.
No wonder his strength improved so much.
No, in the last battle, Chen Zong had already displayed Half-step Sword Intent. However, compared to now, there was a big difference.
Dai Donglin had used all his strength to launch that sword attack just now. That was why he hadn't been pierced through, but his shoulder had been cut open. If it had been pierced through, according to the thickness of the sword, it would have been enough to shatter his shoulder.
An extremely terrifying and sharp force was entrenched in it, like a maggot in a tarsal bone. It was extremely sharp, like an invisible sword Qi. It was extremely terrifying and painful.
Dai Donglin's speed was very fast, and he didn't care about the consumption of his strength. Because he could feel that Chen Zong really wanted to kill him.
Although he was angry, the most important thing now was to escape.
Chen Zong chased him closely.
Dai Donglin didn't show any mercy before because he wanted to kill Chen Zong. However, he couldn't beat Chen Zong now, so he turned around and ran.
Running away wasn't shameful, it was a very normal thing to do.
In a situation where he couldn't beat his opponent and could escape, he didn't run. Instead, he risked his life.
Of course, if he couldn't escape, he could only fight to the death.
Seeing Dai Donglin's figure getting farther and farther away, Chen Zong frowned slightly. In terms of speed, he was indeed faster than ordinary cultivators, but it was still not enough.
He only had the Thousand Shadows Thousand Illusions and Illusory Net Nine Changes. Neither of them were suitable for long-distance attacks, but were suitable for battle.
From the looks of it, it was necessary for him to find a movement technique that focused on speed and long-distance attacks to cultivate.
Holy Fiend Force!
In that instant, Chen Zong borrowed the power of the Asura doppelganger. The pure and tyrannical energy gave him even greater speed.
With the tyrannical Holy Fiendish Qi pouring into his body, he rushed forward like a gust of wind, quickly approaching Dai Donglin.
He swung his sword.
The murderous aura was like a dragon!
The evil dragon roared in the sky, causing Dai Donglin's expression to change greatly. He quickly dodged with all his might. As he dodged, the baleful flood dragon blasted open a gorge in the ground. The terrifying shockwave slowed down Dai Donglin's speed to a certain extent.
In that instant, Chen Zong swung his sword a second time.
That sword contained a shocking amount of Saint Ferocious Force, which transformed into a bolt of lightning. Its speed was shocking, and its destructive power was terrifying beyond compare.
Murderous Qi Thunder!
It was even more powerful than the first sword attack. With the support of the fifty percent half-step sword intent, its power was terrifying to the extreme. Compared to the Blood Splashing Sword, it was much faster and more powerful.
"You can't kill me." Dai Donglin quickly shouted, but his voice was penetrated by the sword light. His heart was also pierced in an instant, and all his defenses were ineffective.
A shocking amount of Murderous Qi poured into his body in an instant, wantonly destroying and crushing his heart.
"You …" Dai Donglin pointed at Chen Zong in disbelief and horror. He clutched his chest with one hand, but blood could not stop gushing out. His eyes gradually lost their light as he fell backward.
The dignified genius ranked 28th had a bright future and amazing potential. Now, he had died here. It was a great irony.
However, if he did not provoke Chen Zong and did not kill Chen Zong, he would not have died.
Most of the time, one's life or death was self-inflicted.
Regardless of whether one was a genius or not, as long as one had not truly grown up and possessed peerless strength, one would have to think about everything and deal with all dangers. Even after one had grown up, even a Great Saint Stage powerhouse was not truly invincible.
The founder of the Heart Sword Scripture, the Heart Sword Saint, had died.
As for how he died, it was still unclear at the moment. He would only know everything after his cultivation base reached the Saint Realm.
There was no doubt that the Heart Sword Saint was an ultimate Great Saint Stage powerhouse. Of course, Chen Zong was not sure if there were different levels among the ultimate Great Saint Stage powerhouses. However, since the Heart Sword Saint was an ultimate Great Saint Stage powerhouse, his strength must be very strong. Since he had died, it meant that there might be someone stronger than an ultimate Great Saint Stage powerhouse in this world.
Or perhaps there was danger.
This gave Chen Zong a warning. There was no such thing as absolute invincibility. Everything was relative.
Chen Zong moved quickly. He searched Dai Donglin's Storage Ring and took away the useful items. However, Chen Zong did not touch some of the items that he felt were more sensitive or could represent his identity.
In comparison, Dai Donglin was a disciple of the Dark Nether Palace, and this was the Dark Nether Small World that the Dark Nether Palace had always been in charge of.
If the Mysterious Nether Palace found out that he had killed a sky-pride of the Mysterious Nether Palace in the Mysterious Nether Small World, there would be no mercy.
He activated the Mysterious Ancient Fire Refining Technique and the Purple Cloud Black Star Flame shot out. It landed on Dai Donglin's corpse and burned it rapidly. Although the current Purple Cloud Black Star Flame could not keep up with his strength and could not increase his strength, its temperature was still very high. It was quite good to use it to destroy the corpse.
Seeing Dai Donglin's corpse turn into ashes under the high temperature of the Purple Cloud Black Star Flame, Chen Zong heaved a sigh of relief. With a wave of his hand, the layer of black ashes scattered and drifted with the wind to an unknown place.
Not even his bones were left!
It must be said that it was very sad. He was a genius when he was alive, and his talent was superb. Who knew how many people were envious of him? Now, not only did he die here, his bright future was gone, and not even his corpse was left.
In fact, Chen Zong was not willing to do this if he had a choice. However, in order to survive, he had to do this. Only then would he be able to avoid being discovered by the Mysterious Nether Palace.
Otherwise, it would not be a good thing for him.
As Chen Zong flew away, he checked the things he had obtained from Dai Donglin's Storage Ring.
Elixirs were indispensable, but they were mainly used to restore strength and heal injuries.
In addition, there were some personal collections that were worth a lot. There were also some Human Restoration Elixirs and Earth Restoration Elixirs that could increase Chen Zong's wealth.
Immediately, Chen Zong found three Mutant Fruits. They were the same Mutant Fruits that he had consumed previously to increase his cultivation.
"Not bad." Chen Zong was overjoyed. He immediately found a place to consume and refine the three Mutant Fruits.
The majestic energy contained in the three Mutant Fruits was instantly released. It was extremely pure and surged through every part of Chen Zong's body. It was extremely powerful.
Chen Zong activated the Taiyuan Cloud Scraping Skill and quickly refined and absorbed the energy of the Mutant Fruits. He converted it into Half-Saint Energy, causing his Half-Saint Energy to continuously increase and his cultivation to increase steadily.
Chen Zong was confident that with these three Mutant Fruits, his cultivation would be able to achieve a breakthrough and reach the high level of Half-Saint.
As long as his cultivation reached the high level of Half-Saint, his Half-Saint Energy would be purer and more powerful. His strength would also be enhanced as a result.
Breakthrough!
The Half-Saint Energy was like a surging tide that swept through everything. It was becoming more and more powerful.
Immediately, he broke through the shackles. Chen Zong immediately felt that the Half-Saint Energy was changing. It was becoming more vigorous and purer.
Strong!
After the breakthrough, Chen Zong did not stop immediately. Instead, he continued to activate the Cultivation Method to consolidate his cultivation.
A powerful aura pervaded his body, suppressing everything. It was as deep and unfathomable as an abyss.
After a while, Chen Zong stopped activating the Cultivation Method. His powerful aura was also restrained.
His cultivation had broken through to the high level of Half-Saint.
Immediately, Chen Zong's expression changed. He did not get up. Instead, he continued to sit and meditate.
Soon, a trace of lightning jumped around Chen Zong's body. It was very subtle. As time passed, it gradually grew stronger.
It was the Extraordinary Power: the Power of Thunder and Lightning.
The Power of Thunder and Lightning belonged to the same level as the Power of Flame.
Chen Zong guessed that the reason why he could comprehend and master the Power of Thunder and Lightning was most likely related to the fact that he had been using his Spiritual Will to transform the Power of Thunder and Lightning recently.
Meditate, meditate, meditate, and continuously improve.
Chen Zong's accumulation was very vigorous. At this moment, these accumulations were released, causing Chen Zong's Extraordinary Power, the Power of Thunder and Lightning, to rapidly improve.
Grade One!
Grade Two!
Grade Three!
Grade after grade was upgraded at an astonishing speed. After a while, it was upgraded to Grade Nine. It was on par with the Power of Flame and the Power of White Clouds.
As for the Heart Sword Force, it had transformed into the Half-step Heart Sword Dao Meaning at this moment. It was of a higher level and was much more powerful.
If he could upgrade the Power of Flame, the Power of White Clouds, and the Power of Thunder and Lightning to the Half-step Dao Meaning, their power would increase explosively and become even more powerful.
Otherwise, just at the Grade Nine level, it would be like the Purplish Cloud Black Star Flame. The increase in his current strength would be limited, but it was better than nothing.
Of course, the Grade Nine Extraordinary Power was still very useful for ordinary Half-step Saints. However, for a prodigy like Chen Zong, his Extraordinary Power alone was limited no matter what grade it was, unless he combined several Extraordinary Powers.
Now, Chen Zong had mastered three Extraordinary Powers. When combined, it was just like before.
He did not expect that the three Mutant Fruits he obtained from Dai Donglin would not only allow his cultivation to break through to the Advanced Half-step Saint Realm, but his strength had also improved significantly. Moreover, he could comprehend and master the Power of Thunder and Lightning.
Although the Power of Thunder and Lightning was of no help to him now, it was a kind of potential. It meant that he had a chance to comprehend and master the Power of Thunder and Lightning Dao Meaning in the future.
Of course, it was only a chance to master it, not a certainty.
Most Saint Realm powerhouses only mastered one Dao Meaning. There were very few who could master two Dao Meanings. It was even rarer to master three Dao Meanings.
Now that he had mastered the Half-step Heart Sword Dao Meaning, he was very confident that he could upgrade it to the true Heart Sword Dao Meaning.
However, Chen Zong did not have much confidence in mastering the other Dao Meanings.
"After I leave the Mysterious Nether Small World, I should cultivate the Three Tribulations Sharpening Secret Technique," Chen Zong thought to himself.
This was an inheritance from the third floor of the Eternal Ice Imperial Palace. It was an inheritance secret technique of an Eminent Saint Realm Sword Cultivator. It was a unique secret technique that was comprehended by the Sword Cultivator after he had advanced to the Eminent Saint Realm.
This secret technique could only be cultivated when one had attained the Half-step Sword Intent. It was used to sharpen one's own Sword Intent and cast a supreme Sword Intent.
In other words, the most fundamental reason for cultivating the Three Tribulations Sharpening Secret Technique was to cast a supreme and powerful Sword Intent.
