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

Shen Tian suppressed his doubts.

For him now, the ancient gods are too far away; he needs to become stronger first.

He sat cross-legged on the charred rock.

Within his sea of ​​consciousness, the spiritual fire of a sixth-grade spiritual master roared into operation.

Golden spiritual fire spread from his sea of ​​consciousness, completely enveloping Yuan Sha's ten-meter-long Hellfire Trident.

"The physical density of the Abyss royal family is extremely terrifying, and the materials used in their weapons and armor far surpass those of Earth."

Shen Tian muttered to himself, his gaze sweeping over the dark gold armor fragments floating in mid-air and the jet-black Hellfire Trident.

"S-grade alloys, and even spiritual weapons, can no longer keep up with the rate at which my power is increasing."

Weapons and armor, having transcended the mundane S-grade alloys, have entered the realm of spiritual weapons.

Spirit weapons are divided into low-grade, medium-grade, high-grade, and top-grade.

They can perfectly transmit a martial artist's blood and qi, and even carry elemental attacks.

Generally speaking, one spirit weapon is enough for a sixth-level martial artist.

In fact, many sixth-tier martial artists don't even have a real spiritual weapon and can only make do with high-strength S-grade weapons.

The problem is that Shen Tian possesses too much true martial arts essence.

Even the Heavenly Punishment, a top-grade spiritual weapon, developed a chipped blade after being subjected to the pressure of various martial arts essences.

Ultimately, the problem is that spiritual weapons cannot bear the true essence of martial arts that carries the attribute of "law".

Above spiritual weapons, there exists a weapon capable of bearing the laws—the Dao weapon!

The so-called Dao weapon is an unparalleled divine weapon that can carry the "laws of the Great Dao" and the "true meaning of martial arts".

【Ding! 】

[Consume kill points to immediately upgrade weapon?]

[Consuming 100,000 kill points, upgraded to—Low-grade Dao Soldier!]

[Consuming 150,000 kill points, upgraded to—Mid-grade Dao Soldier!]

[Consuming 200,000 kill points, upgraded to—Superior Dao Soldier!]

[Consuming 250,000 kill points, upgraded to—Supreme Dao Soldier!]

Shen Tian looked at the remaining kill points on the panel.

Kill Points: 356,020

During this trip, we killed several high-level creatures and gained a total of 10 kill points.

They used up all their [Flame of Myriad Realms] while plundering it.

Therefore, this time, it can only be temporarily upgraded to a low-grade Dao weapon.

Wait until you have enough kill points before upgrading.

As for the materials, there's absolutely no need to worry.

The characteristics of the system are determined based on the maximum potential of the material.

The next upgrade will only require kill points, no materials are needed.

"System, consume 100,000 kill points to upgrade the Heavenly Punishment Battle Blade to a low-grade Dao weapon."

Shen Tian issued the command in his mind.

One hundred thousand kill points were deducted instantly.

As soon as he finished speaking, an immense power, invisible to the naked eye, descended from the void.

click-

The intricate, dark purple totems on the surface of the ten-meter-long Hellfire Trident shattered with a deafening roar.

Before the violent dark power of heaven and earth contained within could be unleashed, it was forcibly compressed into a fist-sized, dark purple sphere of light by an invisible barrier.

The Heavenly Punishment Blade was drawn by that great force and slowly flew into the very center of the dark gold mercury.

The originally dark purple blade emitted a high-pitched clang the moment it came into contact with the abyss material.

That was the resonance of the original material of divine punishment during its baptism.

The blade greedily devoured the surging dark gold liquid.

boom!

A visible ring of air erupted from the fusion center.

The dark red magma was forcibly pushed aside.

The form of the Heavenly Punishment Battle Blade began to undergo a qualitative change.

Originally 1.5 meters long, it extended inch by inch under the pouring of dark gold liquid, eventually settling at 1.8 meters.

The curve of the blade became sharper, and a row of fine dark gold patterns appeared on the back of the blade.

"Buzz—"

A heavy, oppressive feeling permeated the air.

As the last wisp of purplish light merged into the hilt, the entire reshaping process came to an end.

Above the sky, the gray mist that had already dissipated was torn apart once again by some force.

A bolt of purple lightning, as thick as a bucket, appeared out of thin air, carrying an aura of destructive calamity, and struck the Heavenly Punishment Battle Blade straight down.

This was not the lightning that Shen Tian had summoned, but rather the tribulation that Blue Star was facing in the birth of a Dao Soldier.

"Boom!"

The blinding lightning illuminated the entire bottom of the Black Abyss Rift in a ghastly white light.

The Heavenly Punishment Blade remained completely undamaged, instead engulfing the entire Purple Heaven Divine Lightning.

The deep dark purple on the blade intertwined perfectly with the newly added dark gold, forming natural lightning-like patterns.

"Congratulations, host! The Heavenly Punishment Battle Blade has successfully been upgraded to a low-grade Dao Weapon!"

The violent energy fluctuations in mid-air instantly subsided, and all the strange phenomena disappeared into the blade like a whale sucking in water.

A peerless battle sword, 1.8 meters long, floated silently in front of Shen Tian.

It didn't exude any imposing aura, but simply by staying there, it made the surrounding air feel incredibly heavy.

Shen Tian extended his right hand and grasped the hilt of the knife.

"I've gotten heavier."

A flicker of surprise crossed his eyes, but for him, it was just right.

He immediately summoned the system panel in his mind to check the new attributes of the Heavenly Punishment Battle Blade.

【Name: Divine Punishment】

[Rank: Low-grade Dao Soldier]

[True Meaning Bearing (Dao Soldier Level): Perfectly accommodates and amplifies all martial arts true meaning injected by the host, current amplification rate: 500%. Ignores the rejection reaction caused by the superposition of multiple true meanings.]

[Ruyi Dharma Form: The size and mass of the blade can freely change according to the user's will. It can expand to a hundred-meter-long Dharma Form giant blade, with its base mass increasing exponentially with its volume.]

[Blade Aura Amplification: The base strength of the unleashed blade aura is increased fivefold, and it automatically acquires the destructive attributes of spatial cutting and Purple Heaven Divine Lightning.]

[Abyssal Flame Soul Devourer: When the blade strikes a target, it inflicts a soul-devouring effect of abyssal dark gold material, disrupting the target's self-healing ability.]

Shen Tian's pupils contracted slightly as he looked at the data on the screen.

A fivefold increase in true meaning!

The Heavenly Punishment Battle Blade, when subjected to the dual pressure of [Ten Thousand Jun True Intent] and [Great Void True Intent], had a chip broken in its blade.

That's because the material structure of a sixth-tier spiritual weapon is simply unable to withstand the power at the level of laws.

Now, the appearance of Dao Bing has completely eliminated this weakness.

"The Wish-Fulfilling Dharma Image..."

Shen Tian softly uttered the affix.

He gripped the hilt of the knife tightly, and the blood and qi in his body surged into the blade like a flood bursting its banks.

The divine punishment erupted with blinding dark purple lightning.

The blade, originally 1.8 meters long, expanded rapidly.

meters!

A massive, dark purple blade, hundreds of meters long, lies across the bottom of the Black Abyss Rift.

On the surface of the blade, the dark golden demonic patterns moved like living things, and the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder transformed into an electric python as thick as a water bucket, frantically tearing at the air around the blade.

An indescribable heaviness.

This giant blade, which is 100 meters long, now weighs over 100,000 tons.

Shen Tian held the giant blade upside down with one hand.

The fifty-fold power amplification of the [Primordial Divine Elephant] suddenly activated, and the roar of an ancient giant elephant erupted from within his seemingly normal human-sized body.

Shen Tian flipped his wrist, and the huge blade was aimed at the dark red rock wall that stretched for tens of kilometers in front of him.

Within his sea of ​​consciousness, the [Ten Thousand Jun True Intent] and the [Great Void True Intent] erupted simultaneously.

Two completely different martial arts essences flowed into the divine punishment without any hindrance.

The internal structure of the Dao soldier is like a bottomless pit, perfectly absorbing these laws of power and amplifying them outward at a terrifying multiplier of five hundred times.

"cut."

Shen Tian did not use any internal energy; he simply relied on his physical strength and the true meaning of martial arts to swing his sword forward.

Only a single, dark purple blade of light, a thousand meters long, swept out like a falling crescent moon, skimming along the bottom of the Black Abyss Rift.

Wherever the blade's light passed, space was like a fragile curtain, easily sliced ​​open to create an absolute black zone tens of thousands of meters long.

The dark red rock wall, thousands of meters high and stretching for tens of kilometers, was effortlessly cleaved in two by this blade of light.

laugh--

The ear-piercing scraping sound finally arrived a few seconds later.

Immediately following was a deafening roar that shook the heavens and the earth.

The upper half of the massive mountain, reaching a height of two thousand meters, slowly slid down under the pull of gravity and crashed into the lava pool below.

Hundreds of millions of tons of rock fragments shot into the sky, creating a lava tsunami hundreds of meters high that instantly evaporated the remaining gray fog in the surrounding area.

The cut even reflected the lingering lightning from the sky.

The piercing alarm echoed wildly within the underground bunker. On the holographic projection screen, the red ripples representing energy fluctuations had completely transformed into a blinding crimson.

A rain of lava and fire fell from the sky.

Shen Tian stood still, looking at the thirty-kilometer-long canyon he had cleaved out with a single stroke, a strange light flashing in his eyes.

"The power of Dao weapons is indeed incomparable to that of spirit weapons."

With a thought, the 800-meter-long giant blade rapidly shrank in a burst of lightning, returning to its standard length of 1.8 meters.

The dark gold magic patterns on the surface of the blade slowly disappeared, and all its sharpness was concealed, making it look like an ordinary battle sword made of high-quality materials.

Shen Tian backswiped the Heavenly Punishment Thunder Blade back into its sheath on his back.

He raised his head and looked towards the horizon.

"To upgrade the Heavenly Punishment, we need more kill points."

"Not to mention the battle armor and the Boundless Scripture of the Underworld."

In short, the demand for kill points remains high.

Fortunately, Tianyun Prefecture has eight major defensive cities.

There are still six acropolis cities with strange beasts that have not been cleared.

That would be an astronomical figure.

Once we get back, it's time to get rid of these strange beasts.
