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

With nearly four thousand experience points invested, Wu You could clearly feel a qualitative change in his swordsmanship foundation.

He has completely mastered the Tian Shu Po Jun Sword.

The sect leader's ruthless sword techniques are now unleashed with a majestic and imposing force. A single thrust is as powerful as a thousand troops being routed. Even before the sword arrives, its overwhelming and awe-inspiring presence is already overwhelming.

He was certain that if he were to face that black-clad royal corpse again now, this one sword strike alone would be enough to make it retreat.

As for the second sword, the Heavenly Pivot Star-Binding Sword, he can only barely grasp it now and is not proficient in it.

Although the sword light can create a dense net of star power when it is swung, the speed at which the star power is condensed is not fast enough, and the binding force is not strong enough.

Wu You opened his eyes and exhaled.

Reaching the 5,000 proficiency level is indeed not an easy hurdle to overcome.

Through this experience gain, he also understood the way to improve the Seven Luminaries Sword of the Star Pivot: at the beginner level, one can master the two moves of the Heavenly Pivot Breaking Army Sword and the Heavenly Xuan Binding Star Sword; at the minor mastery level, one can master the Heavenly Pivot Balance World Sword and the Heavenly Power Literary Song Sword; at the major mastery level, one can master the Jade Balance Integrity Sword and the Opening Yang Martial Song Sword; only at the perfection level can one master the sure-hit Yao Guang Dong Ming Sword.

Each step is a new level; the high threshold of this sword technique matches its power.

Wu You snapped out of his thoughts, turned around, looked in the direction of the second black pillar of light, and his figure instantly disappeared from the spot.

Meanwhile, because the location of the previous node was near a residential area, many Lanhe residents witnessed Wu You's battle.

Many people were pressed against the windowpane, their mouths agape enough to fit an egg.

"Black beams of light, humanoid monsters—what are those things?!"

"My God, is this still the world I know?!"

"Damn, who's that guy in the black trench coat?! I need all his information in five minutes!"

"Oh my god, he's holding a sword?! I want to practice swordsmanship too!"

"My goodness, is this even human?"

But Wu You was unaware of all this; he had already reached the second node.

The black pillar of light here is thicker than the first one, and the black mist churns more violently on its surface. The six-pointed star pattern on the ground is also larger, with dense lines extending from each corner, like blood vessels piercing into the ground.

Near the pillar of light stood two "people".

They have regular facial features and wear ordinary clothes. At first glance, they are no different from humans, but their eyes are closed, and they stand there like two statues, motionless.

As Wu You approached slightly, the cool energy within his body fluctuated a few times, and he roughly understood the opponent's strength.

At that moment, the people opposite them opened their eyes simultaneously, revealing two pairs of pure black eyes.

"Finally, humans have arrived." The one on the left smirked slightly, his voice hoarse. "It's time to finally have some meat."

"Absolutely, absolutely." The one on the right nodded in agreement, his tone tinged with obsequiousness. "Brother is right."

Without wasting words, Wu You drew his longsword from its sheath, the tip pointing diagonally at the ground, a grayish-white light flowing across the translucent blade.

The two zombies opposite him froze for a moment when they saw Wu You draw his sword.

The pupils of the one on the left contracted slightly, as if sensing something, and its body involuntarily shrank back.

"Brother, this momentum... it seems we can't beat them." The one on the right leaned close to the left ear, his voice very low, but with Wu You's hearing, he heard every single word clearly.

The one on the left swallowed hard, his eyes darting around: "Hiss—should we run?"

"No, brother! The high priest gave a death order: we must die here at the ritual site!"

"What do we do then?" The zombie on the left frowned. "We can't beat them, are we just going to wait to die?"

As Wu You listened to the conversation between the two corpses, he paused slightly in his forward steps.

He had always been quite curious about the world of the Corpse Species, their social structure, and their ways of interacting with each other.

And one word in their words caught his attention—Priest?

Just then, the two dark-eyed corpses suddenly turned around and knelt down in front of Wu You.

The corpse creature called the elder brother raised its head, and a few drops of black liquid squeezed out of its pure black eyes; it was unclear whether they could be considered tears.

It spoke to Wu You, its voice pleading, "Powerful human, you've disrupted the rituals at will, can you spare our lives?"

Wu You raised an eyebrow slightly.

Even zombies beg for mercy?

But then he thought again, any intelligent life form has the desire to live, so it wouldn't be surprising if an intelligent corpse begged for mercy. He pondered for a moment, then nodded: "Alright. Tell me about that priest first."

Upon hearing this, the two zombies exchanged a glance, their faces showing a troubled expression.

"Well... we told you the priest won't let us off the hook." The one on the right shrank his neck, his voice barely audible.

Wu You chuckled lightly, slightly raising the longsword in his hand. The grayish-white light on the tip of the sword flashed for a moment: "If you don't talk, then die now."

"No! We'll talk! We'll talk!" the two zombies shouted almost in unison, their bodies trembling like leaves.

They looked around, their eyes scanning the surroundings, as if they were afraid of something.

"Then come a little closer." The one on the left beckoned to Wu You, his voice extremely low, "We'll tell you in secret."

"You can't tell other humans," the one on the right added, with a mysterious expression.

Without hesitation, Wu You nodded: "Okay."

He stepped forward.

Just as he reached the two zombie species, a sudden change occurred.

The necks of the two zombies stretched out simultaneously, like two venomous snakes launched into the air, moving at a speed almost impossible to detect with the naked eye.

Their mouths were wide open, revealing a dense array of sharp, white, triangular teeth, each gleaming with a cold light.

Two heads, their jaws agape, attacked Wu You's vitals from the left and right, accompanied by a stench of blood.

At this moment, the auras of the two corpse species were fully revealed—both were at the fifth rank.

A fifth-tier corpse, coupled with a sneak attack, would have severely injured or killed an ordinary Silver-Badged Torchbearer.

But Wu You's lips curled up slightly, revealing a mocking smile.

"A corpse seed is a corpse seed." His voice was calm. "No matter how human-like it looks, it's still not a human."

He had anticipated this situation. The Corpse Species were invaders who had invaded the entire real world, and he had never believed a single word they said.

Wu You's previous playfulness with them was just a quirky quirk of his.

The next instant, the longsword struck first, even though it was launched later.

The grayish-white sword light exploded like a bolt of lightning.

Tian Shu Po Jun Sword!

A majestic and imposing sword thrust straight through an army!

The head of the corpse on the left was still in mid-air when the sword tip pierced its brow.

Pale silver starlight spread outwards from the wound, scorching its flesh like flames. Its mouth was still open, its sharp teeth still showing, but its pure black eyes had lost their luster.

The zombie on the right reacted faster, twisting its neck sharply in mid-air as it tried to shrink back, but Wu You's second sword had already arrived.

The two heads landed almost simultaneously.

The head of the corpse on the right was slightly more intact and still retained a trace of consciousness. It lay on the ground, its pure black eyes staring intently at Wu You, and a strange smile appeared on its lips.

"Just wait......" Its voice trailed off, like a candle flickering in the wind, "You... won't survive... today either..."

Wu You ignored him and raised his hand to deliver another blow. A flash of sword light, and the head vanished into black smoke.

Experience points +2000.

Experience points +2000.

Two fifth-tier corpse species, totaling four thousand experience points, were added to Wu You's account. At the same time, Wu You noticed that the energy level of Wan Jian Gui Cang jumped from 5% to 75%.

Then he raised his sword and swung it across the ground. The sword light struck the ground, and the complex six-pointed star immediately cracked in all directions. The black pillar of light shook violently for a moment, then collapsed into countless tiny black fragments that dissipated into the air.

The second node was destroyed.

Without any hesitation, Wu You opened the Sword Manual panel.

Allocable experience points: 4000. All of them will be injected into the Seven Luminaries Sword.

Seven Luminaries Sword of the Star Pivot (Beginner) (3811/5000) → (Beginner) (2811/10000)

A flood of swordplay insights surged in like a tidal wave. This time, it was no longer the gentle seepage of starlight, but rather like a galaxy pouring in from behind, vast and magnificent.

Wu You had also fully mastered the Tianxuan Binding Star Sword technique, and at the same time, the corresponding techniques of the Tianji Hengshi Sword also entered his mind.

However, in the end, Wu You only managed to learn the Tianji Hengshi Sword, and that was the limit of his four thousand experience points.

Unfortunately, that's a shame.

Rank: Land.

His level is still at the sixth level; the entry-level Star Pivot Seven Luminaries Sword is not enough to raise Wu You's level to the seventh level.

He took a deep breath, clearing his mind of all other thoughts: there was only one last step.

whoosh-

Wu You's figure disappeared from the spot.

Three minutes later, Wu You arrived at the location of the last black pillar of light.

The beam of light here is thicker than the previous two, with a diameter of almost twenty meters. Black mist churns and boils on the surface of the beam, emitting a low humming sound.

The six-pointed star pattern on the ground was astonishingly large, with countless fine lines extending from each point, covering a large area like a spider web.

Beside the pillar of light, a familiar, slender figure stood with her back to him.

She wore a long black dress, her long hair was loose, and her exposed skin was so white it was almost transparent.

She stood there quietly, like a statue, like an empty shell without a soul.

Even without seeing its face, Wu You could recognize it.

It was that royal corpse who first opened his heart to him, and then had half of his body blown apart by Hu Lie the second time!

As the saying goes, enemies are especially hostile when they meet.

Without hesitation, Wu You drew his longsword, a pale silver light spreading across its blade.

The next moment, the four-colored crystal sword sliced ​​through the air with a hissing sound, aiming straight for the black-dressed figure's back.

The first move is the Heavenly Pivot Breaking Army Sword!

Moreover, times have changed.

At this moment, he was also at the sixth level!
