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

Jiangcheng.

It is also a steel cliff stretching across the wilderness.

A hundred-meter-high alloy wall stretches along the mountain ridge, like a giant black blade lying across the earth, completely separating millions of civilians behind from the wilderness in front.

Thousands of heavily armored fortresses stretched along the cliff face, their black steel shields overlapping to form a sloping armored wall.

Tens of thousands of drones hovered at an altitude of six thousand meters, raining down a dense barrage of projectiles like a black downpour.

The Blood-Mechanical Symbiote pressed in from the edge of the wilderness.

The crimson energy beam tore through the smoke and dust, slamming into the energy shield outside the alloy city wall, exploding into clusters of blue and red light spheres hundreds of meters in diameter.

Inside the Jiangcheng Command Post.

Qin Zhenshan, who had already broken through to the early stage of the sixth rank, spoke with a booming voice.

"Two thousand one hundred and seventy heavy fortresses have been destroyed!"

"Enemy high-energy reaction is approaching!"

"It's Rank 8!"

With each flash, the distance to Jiangcheng decreased by more than three kilometers.

In less than ten seconds, a blood-red blade mark appeared in the middle of the wilderness, stretching across the sky and earth.

At the end of the knife marks, a blood demon over ten meters tall slowly emerged from the dust.

He did not have the grotesque, semi-mechanical structure of the Blood-Machine Symbiote.

His physical form is closer to that of a true Blood Demon noble.

The dark red armor seemed to grow out of the skin, covering the entire body, with six curved bone spikes extending from the shoulder armor, each of which was wrapped with blood-red runes.

He was dragging a twelve-meter-long, blood-red giant blade in his hand.

The giant blade is not made of metal.

That was a law compressed into a solid form.

Wherever the blade passed, the ground cracked open automatically, cutting a trench in the fissured ground, with red and black blood constantly seeping from the edges of the trench.

Kashu, a late-stage eighth-tier Blood Demon Commander.

He did not rush to attack.

He stood in the middle of the old riverbed, looking up at the energy shield above Jiangcheng.

"Human city walls are always very high."

The sound resonates with the blood and qi, forcefully shaking the blood within the body.

On the city wall, dozens of second-tier warriors groaned simultaneously, their blood gushing out as if it were about to detach from their blood vessels.

Kashu had already raised the blood-red giant blade.

The sky over Jiangcheng changed instantly.

The clouds, which had been stained red by the gunfire, seemed to have had their color drained by some force, turning into a dark blackish-red.

The remains of tens of thousands of blood-machine symbiotes that died on the riverbed melted at the same time, turning into streaks of blood that flowed upstream towards the sky.

These blood lines intertwined behind Kashu, forming a blood moon phantom with a diameter of over three thousand meters.

This is the power that comes after the origin of the eighth-order condensation law.

A sixth-tier martial artist can only alter a very small area around themselves when activating their true intent.

The eighth order is different.

Once the fundamental law manifests, the surrounding power of heaven and earth will automatically converge towards the law.

The land shrouded in blood moonlight.

"Blood Moon Judgment".

Kashu spoke calmly.

The giant blade slashed down.

The twelve-meter-long crimson blade only moved forward an inch.

However, thousands of blood-red blades appeared simultaneously within ten kilometers in front of Jiangcheng.

Each blade of light was a kilometer long, like a crimson divine punishment falling from the blood moon, covering the entire riverbed defense line.

The heavily armored fortress's shield was sliced ​​through like paper by the blade.

The black steel armor, half a meter thick, had a smooth, mirror-like fracture. Before its internal energy core could even explode, it was drained of energy by the Law of Blood, turning into a shriveled pile of scrap metal.

"retreat!"

The blade light had already reached within 300 meters of Jiang Cheng's main shield.

At that very moment, a sword cry resounded throughout the heavens and earth.

The sword's sound was very faint.

Yet it overwhelmed the artillery fire, alarms, the roar of the Blood Demon, and the myriad blades of light falling from the blood moon.

Above the wilderness, the temperature suddenly plummeted.

Before the water vapor in the air could condense into ice, the deeper chill robbed them of their movement.

The flying metal fragments stopped in mid-air.

The flames from the explosion solidified, retaining their blooming shape.

Even the sword light hanging from the blood moon stopped a hundred meters away from Jiangcheng's shield.

next moment.

All the blood-red blade surfaces were simultaneously covered with ice-blue patterns.

Click!

Thousands of sword beams, each a thousand meters long, shattered simultaneously, transforming into a sky full of blood-red ice crystals.

A man stands atop the city wall of Jiangcheng.

He held a long sword in his hand.

The sword is long and narrow, its entire body like cold jade, with a deep blue light of law flowing along its spine.

The swallow was startled by the cold.

The entire battlefield slowed down under his chilling aura.

Kashu raised his head, his blood-red pupils slightly contracting.

Yan Jinghan lowered his eyes and looked at the Blood Demon Commander in the center of the wilderness.

"You are not welcome in Tianyun Prefecture."

Kashu chuckled softly.

"Having just broken through to the eighth rank, you dare to stand before me, the commander? Your human race has grown bolder lately."

Yan Jinghan's fingers holding the sword did not tremble.

Within his body, the source of the Frost Law was suspended deep within his dantian.

Like a tiny, icy blue star shrunk a million times.

Inside the star, countless sword-shaped ice crystals move along fixed trajectories.

That's not just the law of frost.

Rather, it is the nascent form of origin formed by the combination of the Frost Law and Sword Intent.

Yan Jinghan's original sword intent leaned towards killing.

After breaking through to the eighth rank, he did not allow his sword intent to be swallowed by the frost, but instead forcibly pressed the two into the same source.

Where the sword is drawn, all things cease to move, only to be severed by the sharp edge of the law.

"A high level of skill doesn't guarantee victory."

Yan Jinghan's voice was calm.

Kashu's eyes flashed with intense bloodlust.

"Then let's give it a try."

boom!

The blood moon suddenly sank.

A crimson wheel, three kilometers in diameter, pressed down on the wilderness like a red star falling from the sky.

Before the blood moon even set, the ground had already collapsed.

The eight-kilometer-wide wilderness was pressed into a huge arc-shaped crater, with tens of thousands of tons of mud and rocks rolling to both sides, as if the entire land was being held down by an invisible giant hand.

Yan Jinghan raised his sword.

The sword tip points upwards.

"Hanxiao".

Two words were uttered.

The clouds above Jiangcheng were pierced by a cold blue-white light.

A sky sword formation composed of countless ice swords unfolds.

The sword formation has a diameter of five kilometers.

Each ice sword is not a physical object, but rather a sword-shaped ice crystal formed by the laws of frost.

They rotated in the air along a certain trajectory, connecting with each other through sword intent, forming an ice-blue sword array that covered the heavens and the earth.

The moment the blood moon pressed into the sword formation.

The two laws began to clash head-on.

From high above, half the sky is a dark red blood moon, and the other half is an ice-blue sword array.

Red and blue clashed against each other, causing black spatial cracks with a diameter of 100 meters to continuously explode at the boundary.

Beneath the Jiangcheng shield, all the soldiers looked up at this scene, their breaths catching in their throats.

Qin Zhenshan couldn't help but clench his fists.

"This is the eighth rank..."

Kashu clearly didn't intend to slowly wear down Yan Jinghan.

He gripped the crimson giant blade with both hands, and the blood moon behind him suddenly contracted.

The three-thousand-meter-long blood moon was compressed into a hundred-meter-long crimson celestial blade in less than half a second.

Compression increases energy density by hundreds of times.

The space around the blade continued to collapse, forming a dark edge.

"Blood Prison Heaven-Splitting Slash!"

Kashu took a step forward.

He merged with the hundred-meter-long Heavenly Blade, transforming into a dark red meteor that instantly broke through ten times the speed of sound.

The ground was plowed open by this blow.

A molten rift valley, 20 kilometers long and 300 meters deep, appeared on the ground.

Yan Jinghan's eyes darkened slightly.

This strike was unavoidable.

Jiangcheng is right behind us.

If he retreats, his main shield will be instantly destroyed.

Yan Jinghan slowly exhaled a puff of white mist.

He raised his hand, the sword blade held horizontally in front of him.

"A line of frost across the sky."

In an instant, the whole world seemed to be cut into two layers, top and bottom.

A straight, icy blue line appeared between heaven and earth.

The lines are very fine.

So fine that it is almost impossible to see with the naked eye.

However, its length exceeds thirty kilometers.

Smoke, gunfire, crimson energy, spatial rifts—everything that stood in the way of the lines was forcibly separated.

Kashu, transformed into a blood-red celestial blade, collided with the icy blue line.

boom--!!!

Heaven and earth fell silent.

The energy shield on the city wall of Jiangcheng rippled outwards.

At the same time, barren mountains dozens of kilometers away collapsed.

At the epicenter of the explosion, the crimson celestial blade was sliced ​​in half by icy blue lines, revealing Kashu's massive body.

A sword wound appeared on his chest, extending from his left shoulder to his right abdomen.

No blood spurted from the sword wound.

Because the wound has been frozen.

The icy blue laws spread inward along the wound, attempting to freeze his very essence.

Kashu retreated rapidly, his feet leaving two furrows more than ten meters long in the ground.

He glanced down at the sword wound on his chest, and the ferocity on his face lessened somewhat.

"A fine sword."

Yan Jinghan was not unharmed either.

His right arm, which was holding the sword, drooped slightly, and large patches of bloody corrosion marks appeared on the muscles of his arm.

The Law of Blood, following the collision, invaded his meridians and was attempting to ignite his vital energy.

He raised his left hand and pointed to his right shoulder.

Click.

The entire outer side of his right arm was immediately covered with a layer of ice crystals.

The contaminated flesh and blood were temporarily sealed by the Frost Law.

Yan Jinghan raised his sword again.

"Again."

Kashu bared his fangs, and slowly raised his crimson giant blade.

"That suits me perfectly."
