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

Golden clouds rolled slowly at an altitude of 10,000 meters, and the dazzling sunlight pierced through the thin air, coating the bodies of several Kunlun experts with a dark golden halo.

Ouyang Qianjue stood with his hands behind his back, his deep gaze like a sharp blade drawn from its sheath, piercing through the thick clouds.

He exhaled a long breath, and hundreds of tiny sword energies emanated from his body.

"One hundred years ago, I stepped onto the 398th step."

Ouyang Qianjue's voice sounded exceptionally ethereal in the howling wind.

"You should know that it has exhausted all my resources and efforts."

Cang Yunzi nodded slightly and replied:

"Of course I remember. Back then, the sect leader sat cross-legged there for three whole months, and his breath almost stopped several times. On the day you stepped down the Heavenly Stairs, the entire Kunlun sword formation resonated spontaneously, and the green peaks of the mountain seemed to have been shaved off three feet out of thin air."

Ouyang Qianjue raised his right hand, bringing his index and middle fingers together.

At the fingertips, a three-inch-long pure black crack was forcibly torn open in space.

"At that time, at level 398, I began to comprehend the Golden Statue."

Ouyang Qianjue stared at the crack in the void at his fingertips.

"In my consciousness space, I saw a sword aura, and within the sword aura was a chain of light."

"Light chain?"

The second elder asked in surprise.

Ouyang Qianjue closed his eyes, a strong sense of reminiscence appearing between his brows.

"Above the light chain, ancient runes of various shapes flashed alternately."

The wind on the sea of ​​clouds suddenly stopped.

"During those ninety days, my soul was on the verge of collapse."

Ouyang Qianjue reopened his eyes, his gaze filled with the shadows of swords.

"In the end, I comprehended the complete chain of light, and with it, I reshaped my own way of the sword."

Cang Yunzi gasped, his chest heaving violently.

"Sect Leader, with these..."

The Second Elder's voice had already changed somewhat.

Ouyang Qianjue turned to look at the two of them, his voice resounding:

"He became known as the number one killer in the Dragon Kingdom!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a deathly silence fell over the surroundings.

Cang Yunzi and the Second Elder's minds were racing.

The sword path he comprehended through 398 steps created a ninth-tier peak sword god who suppressed the Dragon Kingdom for 300 years!

The three of them simultaneously raised their gaze once again, shifting it to the young figure sitting cross-legged at the feet of the 10,000-meter-tall golden statue in the white marble square.

Cang Yunzi's beard flew wildly in the strong wind, and his eyes flashed with undisguised horror.

"Shen Tian is currently at level 999. What kind of astonishing sights will he witness at such close range?"

Ouyang Qianjue clenched his fists, and all the hundreds of miniature sword energies around him shattered.

"I suspect that what he saw was not just one chain of light."

Ouyang Qianjue's voice was filled with undisguised shock.

"He should be able to see all the chains!"

On the 360th white marble step.

Xiao Ting was facing a sea of ​​purple lightning.

The raging plasma created giant waves thousands of meters high on the sea surface.

A blinding purple light filled the entire field of vision.

"Boom—"

With a deafening roar that shattered eardrums, nine enormous lightning pillars, each over a hundred meters in diameter, shot up from the depths of the thunderstorm vortex without warning, piercing the endless, dark sky.

These nine lightning pillars resembled nine ancient, raging dragons.

Xiao Ting hovered alone in the very center of the nine lightning pillars, his figure like a small boat in a raging sea, at any moment likely to be torn to pieces by this vast power of heaven and earth.

He endured the excruciating pain of his soul being repeatedly torn apart.

When his mental energy penetrated the outer layer of violent plasma shield, Xiao Ting's vision suddenly cleared.

He was utterly shocked to discover that the seemingly violent and chaotic pillar of lightning was not a simple aggregate of energy at all, but rather composed of hundreds of millions of tiny particles.

These particles exhibit distinct colors and shapes.

These tiny particles are not a random pile, but rather they interlock and connect end to end according to some extremely complex rules.

They intertwine closely, forming a double-helix light chain with a diameter of over ten meters.

Each rotation of this chain of light releases tens of millions of ancient runes representing the laws of lightning.

"This is... the essence of thunder power!"

Xiao Ting's heart pounded violently in his chest, and his overwhelming joy surged like a flood bursting its banks.

Even though he grew up in the Kunlun Mountains, he still witnessed the infinite mysteries of the baptism when he received the Kunlun baptism for the first time.

"To actually confront the very essence of the power of heaven and earth..."

"If I could fully comprehend this chain of light..."

Xiao Ting's breathing became rapid.

"I can control this supreme lightning power, which surpasses all other lightning!"

He immediately focused his mind and unleashed all his mental power.

The moment his mental energy came into contact with the light chain, a massive flow of information struck his mind like ten thousand hammers.

Meanwhile, at the 363rd step, just three steps away from Xiao Ting.

Li Changge's consciousness space was a desolate plain filled with endless killing intent.

Above the plain, 100,000 giant lapis lazuli swords, each a hundred meters long, hang upside down.

Each giant sword was vibrating at high speed, cutting through the surrounding space.

Li Changge raised his head, his gaze fixed on the largest sword in the center of the 100,000 giant swords, the Tongtian Main Sword.

Through the blinding sword light, he clearly saw the underlying essence that constituted the sword energy.

Hundreds and thousands of extremely sharp silver particles are colliding with each other at an extremely high frequency.

The trajectories generated by each collision perfectly pieced together a spiral chain of light exuding an extremely sharp aura.

"It seems I need to decipher this chain of light."

Li Changge clenched his fists.

"My killing power will increase dramatically!"

Just as the other prodigies were gradually immersed in their own enlightenment, Shen Tian, ​​who was sitting next to the statue, suddenly opened his eyes.

Those eyes were now filled with crisscrossing red blood vessels.

too difficult.

Shen Tian rested his hands on his knees, swallowing hard, the lingering throbbing in his brain making him dizzy.

"This is fucking..."

Shen Tian was panting, his brows furrowed deeply.

If one were to perceive all 36,000 light chains, all of his mental energy would be completely drained.

Not to mention, we also have to meticulously analyze their operational trajectories and even grasp the patterns of how these massive nodes interlock.

This is a completely incomprehensible astronomical project.

An ordinary prodigy only needs to comprehend one chain of light to benefit from it for a lifetime.

And where he stands now, he faces the very origin of the laws of heaven and earth.

Without analyzing these 36,000 light chains, it would be like entering a treasure mountain and leaving empty-handed.

Kill Points: 356,020

Three hundred and sixty-eight thousand.

Seeing the huge numbers jumping in the last column, Shen Tian's tense shoulders suddenly relaxed.

Although he had come alone to the Kunlun Mountains, thousands of miles away, the war machine of Tianyun Prefecture was still running.

As long as the war continues and the beasts continue to bleed, Shen Tian's kill count will keep increasing.

However, the growth rate has slowed down recently.

"It seems the occupied territories are almost completely drained."

Shen Tian quickly analyzed the situation.

"system."

Shen Tian muttered to himself,

"Consume your kill points and push your mental power to the seventh rank!"

[Deducting 300,000 kill points...]
