I became a god through frontier slaughter, and I crushed the academy's prodigies!

High in the sky.

The Garuda Wings on Shen Tian's back flapped gently, each flap leaving a long sonic boom cloud behind him.

The gray fog space beneath their feet had been completely left behind.

"call……"

Shen Tian stared at the system panel that kept flashing on his retina.

Previously, after single-handedly slaughtering a horde of beasts, my balance was just over 100,000.

One hundred thousand points.

This is a threshold.

Shen Tian's gaze swept over the rows of dazzling purple talents, finally settling on the one that had been with him the longest and was also the most lethal.

【Innate Blade Body (Purple)】

From the moment he first acquired it, this talent has always been the source of Shen Tian's confidence in defeating enemies of higher ranks.

Whether it's his mastery of sword techniques or his ability to slay all things, he is invincible among opponents of the same or even higher ranks.

Now that Shen Tian's kill count has exceeded 10, his most desired upgrade is naturally this talent.

"system."

Shen Tian took a deep breath, a resolute and fervent look flashing in his eyes.

"Consumes 100000 kill points."

"Upgrade the [Innate Blade Body]!"

boom--!!!

As 100,000 points of killing power were instantly deducted, it was as if a nuclear bomb had exploded in Shen Tian's mind.

This commotion is more terrifying than any before.

If the advancement of purple talent is like a trickle of water converging into a river.

So this time, it's like the Milky Way overflowing and stars falling!

There is no pain.

There is only one kind of ethereal feeling, so profound that it seems to elevate the very soul.

Shen Tian felt himself "melting".

His bones, his flesh, even every single cell of his body, were shattered and then reassembled by some supreme rule at this moment.

The sharp energy that had been circulating within him began to recede.

No longer showing off its sharpness.

No longer aggressive.

But this is not a weakening, but a qualitative change.

Like a piece of exceptional iron, after being forged countless times, it finally sheds all its fiery temper and transforms into a peerless divine weapon that has returned to its original simplicity.

Zheng—

He did not draw his sword.

But high above, the sea of ​​clouds covering a radius of hundreds of miles suddenly trembled.

Followed by.

A series of dazzling orange rays slowly condensed on Shen Tian's retina.

[Ding! Talent advancement successful!]

[Congratulations, host! You have obtained your first orange-tier talent!]

[Talent Name: Peerless Sword Saint]

[Rank: Orange]

[Entry Description: At the pinnacle of the sword's path, who reigns supreme? A single glance at Shen Tian makes all swords seem empty. You are no longer merely a wielder of the sword; you are the embodiment of the sword's way, the master of all weapons. From this moment on, there is no longer any swordsmanship to speak of, for your every action embodies the ultimate truth of the sword's way.]

[Divine Sword Intent: You have transcended the shackles of "momentum" and prematurely comprehended your unique power—"Intent." Your will is the direction of your blade. Even without a sword in hand, the intent in your heart can cleave mountains and rivers.]

[All armies submit: In this world, no blade dares to harm its ruler. The power of all bladed weapons (including swords, axes, and other sharp blades) swung at you is forcibly reduced by 90%.]

[The Blade Arrives: Your attacks are no longer confined to the physical realm; there is nothing in this world you cannot cut. I, Shen Tian, ​​possess only one blade, capable of moving mountains, overturning seas, subduing demons, suppressing monsters, commanding gods, plucking stars, severing rivers, destroying cities, and splitting the heavens!]

Shen Tian hovered quietly in the air, looking at the panel attributes.

orange color.

Is this the true value of an orange-tier talent?

If we say that the purple talent is still about achieving the ultimate in "skill".

So, the orange talent has already begun to touch upon the Dao.

The purple talent is still stacking up stats.

Orange-tier talents are already starting to touch on the conceptual level.

There is not a single numerical value in the entire document.

But it can completely crush any other stat!

[The intent of the sword reaches the divine].

Shen Tian's eyes.

Everything has texture.

Similarly, everything has its weaknesses.

If you cut along these lines, even a straw can cut through the hardest diamond.

This is the meaning.

The fifth level of "power" training involves using the power of heaven and earth to suppress others.

The sixth level of cultivating "intention" involves infusing one's own will into the world, where one's heart is the heart of heaven, and one's intention is the will of heaven!

This kind of power should be a threshold that only a sixth-level cultivator could possibly reach after decades of arduous training, even in the face of life and death.

And now.

Shen Tian was only at the early stage of the fifth rank, yet he had already completely mastered it.

Moreover, it's a divine connection!

"Is this... what it means?"

Shen Tian muttered to himself.

He slowly extended his right hand and made a grasping motion in the air.

He had no knife in his hand.

But as he moved, the air within a kilometer radius around him instantly froze.

In the blink of an eye.

An invisible longsword, formed from pure air currents and will, appeared in his hand.

But this is not over yet.

Shen Tian looked down at the vast and boundless sea of ​​clouds.

It was midday, the sun was shining brightly, and the sea of ​​clouds churned like a dragon.

"cut."

Shen Tian made no unnecessary movements.

With just a slight flick of his wrist, he casually swung the knife downwards.

There was no earth-shattering explosion.

There were no dazzling beams of sword energy.

This strike was eerily quiet.

however.

next second.

The sea of ​​clouds below, thousands of meters thick, looks like a piece of cheese that has been neatly sliced ​​with a knife.

A crack tens of thousands of meters long suddenly appeared!

The crack was as smooth as a mirror, its depth unfathomable, directly revealing the tiny mountains and rivers below.

Even more terrifying is...

After the crack was cut open, it was not quickly filled by the surrounding clouds as usual.

As the clouds surged toward the edge of the crack, they seemed to encounter something extremely terrifying, and retreated in fear.

The lingering intent of the sword lingered for a long time.

It carved an unhealable chasm in the sky!

It not only severed the clouds.

The fierce sword intent still suppressed the air ten thousand meters above the ground.

"So strong..."

Shen Tian looked at his masterpiece, a hint of shock flashing in his eyes.

This power has completely surpassed his previous understanding.

"These 100,000 kill points were well spent."

Shen Tian crushed the airflow longsword in his hand; this was only using the airflow longsword.

If it's the effect of [Heavenly Sin].

I can't even imagine it!

Although his cultivation level is still at the early stage of the fifth rank.

But in terms of combat effectiveness...

Even if Chi Xiao, a half-step sixth-level cultivator, were to personally intervene, he probably wouldn't be able to withstand that casual slash from him just now.

Even a true sixth-tier powerhouse has arrived...

A look of eager anticipation gleamed in Shen Tian's eyes.

It's not impossible to fight!

Shen Tian was in a great mood, and the blue wings on his back suddenly spread out.

boom!

His figure transformed into a streak of light, soaring straight into the sky and speeding towards Jiangcheng.

……

at the same time.

A valley several hundred kilometers away from the rocky forest.

roar--!!!

A ferocious roar shattered the tranquility of the valley.

Immediately following was a violent earthquake.

"Stay calm! Don't panic!"

"Push forward! Don't let it break through the defenses!"

Chaotic shouts echoed through the valley.

A small squad dressed in uniform silver-white combat gear was seen desperately dodging attacks.

This squad is well-equipped.

They were all wearing A-grade alloy armor, and their weapons were at least B-grade, with two of them even wielding near-S-grade weapons.

On their chest badges is engraved a soaring dragon, below which are the four gold-stamped characters "Tian Yun · Long Yuan".

If outsiders saw this, they would definitely be shocked.

Longyuan Martial Arts University!

Tianyun Prefecture ranked first.

One of the eight schools in the "Eight Schools and Two Colleges" of the Dragon Kingdom.

Those who can get into this place are all top-scoring geniuses from their respective cities.

This team is composed of the most elite senior students at Longyuan Martial Arts University, with an average age of only twenty-two.

The weakest among them are at the peak of the third tier, and the leaders have already stepped into the early stage of the fourth tier!

This kind of setup would be enough to make someone a VIP in any second-tier city, allowing them to walk around with impunity.

But at the moment.

These once-proud individuals, however, resembled chicks being chased by an eagle, their faces covered in dust and their eyes filled with terror.

And on the opposite side.

It is a giant beast that is fifteen meters tall.

It was a giant ape covered in blood-red rock armor, with scarlet eyes. Every time it swung its fist, it could smash a crater more than ten meters in diameter into the ground.

Fifth-tier early-stage Beast King - Mountain-Moving Demon Ape!

"puff!"

A burly young man wielding a giant shield was sent flying by a punch from the demonic ape. He coughed up blood in mid-air, and the A-grade alloy shield, which was strong enough to withstand rocket artillery fire, was now twisted and deformed like a piece of scrap metal.

"Third brother!"

At the back of the line, a tall, short-haired woman exclaimed in surprise.

She is the vice-captain of the team and one of the team's main attackers.

But at this moment, her hand holding the sword was trembling.

"The intelligence is incorrect!"

A young man nearby frantically unleashed ice walls to block the demonic ape, while desperately roaring:

"Who the hell said this demonic ape just gave birth and is in a weakened state? Its energy fluctuations are stronger than my mentor's! This is its peak!"
