The undead have descended upon the world? I possess a sword that can cleave the heavens once more!

The less than two seconds of the fourteenth stage, gained by burning through ninety percent of one's lifespan, is like an excessively extravagant fireworks display.

The power surged so quickly that there was almost no process. From the eleventh to the twelfth step, from the twelfth to the thirteenth step, and from the thirteenth to the fourteenth step, it was as if someone had placed three levels of steps under his feet at the same time. The moment he stepped on them, his entire field of vision changed.

What's most unforgettable about that feeling isn't the power of growth itself, but the sense of certainty and composure that comes with having that power—a feeling that "everything is under control"!

Of course, Wu You knew very well that it was just an illusion caused by the rapid increase in power.

He stood there for a moment, reflecting on the moment, and a slight thought stirred within him.

"That feeling of almost omnipotence," he thought to himself, watching the grayish-white smoke and dust left by the dissipating Sin Dragon, "is really something to get addicted to."

Quickly regaining his senses, Wu You felt the aches and pains spreading throughout his body and let out a long sigh of relief.

At that moment, a hoarse voice suddenly rang out in my mind, carrying a long-suppressed sense of inquiry:

"How did you just kill that thirteenth-tier sin dragon?"

Wu You shook his head and did not answer.

It seems that He was indeed in very poor condition. Even though He witnessed the whole process, He couldn't figure out what method Wu You used to kill the Sin Dragon.

But then he paused, as if suddenly remembering something, and added in his mind: "Ten strands of divinity, and I'll tell you."

The God of Beasts remained silent for a moment, then typed a question mark: "?".

His tone carried a hint of resentment: "You could have just robbed them outright, why did you need to use the guise of a transaction?"

Then His tone became heavy again:

"snort!"

"I was afraid you were dead, so I risked being discovered to come to the deepest shadows to find you!"

Upon hearing the words of the God of Beasts, Wu You immediately smiled.

He could tell that He really wanted to know how He had instantly killed that 13th-tier sin dragon, but He just couldn't bring himself to do it.

"Eight strands of divinity."

I'll tell you.

A hoarse voice chuckled, "Never mind, I didn't really want to know."

Wu You waited for two more breaths.

"Five strands...?"

"make a deal!"

The hoarse voice answered quickly, as if it had been waiting for this number all along.

As soon as he finished speaking, Wu You could feel the fluffy little head in the inside pocket of his trench coat move slightly. Then, several strands of pure, translucent light flowed into his body through some unseen channel.

A notification also popped up on the Sword Manual panel: Divinity +5

Wu You chuckled softly: "Thanks."

He understood that these five strands of divinity were not solely used to exchange for information on how to instantly kill the sinful dragon.

This is just a disguised gesture of goodwill and compensation.

Previously, the God of Beasts inadvertently revealed that He had a way to avoid the shared death penalty in the bondage, but the cost was quite high.

This means that if Wu You dies, He doesn't have to die with him.

The so-called binding and dying together changed from two-way to one-way, which was beneficial to Him and detrimental to Wu You.

Of course, in reality, Wu You had the Sword Manual and was never truly bound by that binding from the very beginning.

But the God of Beasts was unaware of this.

Regardless of His previous intentions—whether He wanted to use this method to make Wu You give up threatening Him with His life to do certain things, or to warn Wu You—He was not so sure.

Or perhaps He had no way to avoid the shared death penalty of the bond, and was just using this method to bluff and seize control of the relationship between Him and Wu You.

That's not impossible, considering how bad His condition is.

Regardless, since He said so, Wu You took it as true.

However, since the God of Beasts has gained an advantage in this binding relationship, shouldn't he be compensated in other ways?

Wu You, as a crucial foundation for His cooperation with humanity, was already premeditated and bound to Him without any clear understanding of the situation.

Now that He's doing this again, he's going to be very unhappy.

These five strands of divinity were the answer the God of Beasts gave to Wu You.

As for why he thanked him, it was mainly because, based on his understanding of the God of Beasts, he originally thought that He would give him two or three strands of divinity, but this time He gave him five strands directly.

This was beyond Wu You's expectations.

Of course, this might be because the God of Beasts witnessed him instantly kill a thirteenth-tier sin dragon with a single sword strike and thus increased his investment in him.

Or perhaps it was because his lifespan was greatly reduced due to his use of the [Separation from Heaven] technique, and his body was once again filled with the aura of decline. These extra strands of divinity were used to help him recover.

Although Wu You still decided that the first guess was more likely, he still thanked him.

After all, no matter what, the divinity that is obtained will never be fake.

Then, he briefly told Him about the effects of the Balance Sword, and his hoarse voice only hummed in response, without saying anything more.

Then, opening the Sword Codex panel, Wu You began to take stock of the gains from this trip out of the city to provide support.

Allocable experience points: 7104.2w

[Seven Tribulations Sword Chapter] (Chapter Six: Sunfall) (0/6000w)

Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Hidden Realm: 30 (20%)

Divinity: 15 (Accumulated: 13.5)

The experience points gained from clearing the hordes of corpses outside the other two strongholds, plus the 20 million experience points generously given by the old buddy, Sin Dragon, have now reached over 70 million.

That's enough for the needs of Chapter 5, Yang Meteor Sword, of the Seven Tribulations Sword Chapter!

Without any hesitation, Wu You had an idea.

7104.2w→1104.2w

[Seven Tribulations Sword Chapter] (Chapter Six: Sunfall) (0/6000w) → [Seven Tribulations Sword Chapter] (Chapter Six: Sunfall) (Complete!)

Almost the instant the numbers on the Sword Manual panel started flashing, a scene simultaneously appeared in Wu You's mind.

It was a boundless world, and a figure with his back to the world was gazing at a bright red, unusually hot sun in the distance.

The figure stood there for a long time, like a silhouette illuminated by the light.

Then he slowly drew his long sword.

The next instant, the magnificent sky began to collapse from the very center, the blazing sun disintegrated from within, and golden-red flames fell like a torrential rain. The light faded inch by inch, and the remaining flames burned through the clouds, turning the once glorious sky into a dark red and charred ruin.

Wu You was immersed in the imagery of the setting sun, feeling the lingering heat still lingering on the edge of his heart.

Suddenly, a gentle, soothing voice rippled in his ear:

"A projection of lust will descend shortly."

"Cooperate with us to capture Him!"

Wu You abruptly snapped out of his reverie of the image of the sun collapsing.

He was naturally familiar with this voice, but how could he capture the projection of lust?

What does this mean?

Upon realizing this, he almost subconsciously raised his head and looked up at the dark vortex above him that was still slowly swirling and showed no signs of closing.
