Ke Xue: He mastered the steel-cutting divine skill at the start.

This might not have been intentional on their part, but rather a natural coincidence. Their overwhelming faith and obsession were the source of their fighting power. At the moment of their death, this spiritual energy would instantly explode and dissipate, just like water that has lost its hold in a bucket.

It gushed directly from the bucket, and even contaminated the blade that destroyed the bucket, leaving it with a water stain-like residue.

This presented Miyazaki Hayao with yet another dilemma.

Yokokudan is not only his sword, but also the vessel through which he cultivates his spirit and flies on his sword. Miyazaki Yu nurtured this sword and refined its blade countless times before finally fusing his spirit with the sword.

This sword is practically equivalent to Miyazaki Yu's spiritual clone!

If the mental clone is subjected to repeated and constant attacks, and the mental imprint on it dissipates, then one's methods will be greatly diminished!

He began to channel his sword energy, trying his best not to use the sword's edge to pierce through these guys' bodies, which greatly increased his energy consumption.

However, these are his current thoughts and concerns, while from the outside perspective, this battle has finally reached its climax.

Countless fanatics, like zombies, launched an attack on Miyazaki Yu. They were incredibly strong and ferocious, and because of the power of their faith, they could continue fighting even if their bodies were pierced, unless their heads were cut off.

Moreover, their physical bodies are extremely strong, making it almost impossible for their sword energy to sweep across a large area. However, the ferocity of the battle has not diminished in the slightest.

At the core, sword energy rained down like rain, and each sword beam pierced through the bodies of these fanatics, yet its momentum remained undiminished, spreading outwards.

The core of the battlefield blossomed like lotus flowers of sword energy, with crimson blood splattering everywhere!

Chapter 577 The Spiritual Realm Opens (3rd Update!)

Everyone who witnessed this scene was shocked by the horrific sight of flesh and blood flying everywhere.

These high-ranking figures had seen countless people killed by bullets, so they were not particularly shocked. War, like politics, is a twin brother, always appearing together or alternating.

Therefore, for most of the former leaders of the great powers who are watching the live broadcast today, war is something that is both familiar and unfamiliar.

The reason they are familiar is that, under their command, wars in this world have never ceased.

The unfamiliarity lies in the fact that they rarely witness the cruelty of war firsthand, and after launching a war, it has become an unspoken understanding to see as little as possible.

Just like what that eagle said, going to the confessional can no longer wash away his sins. In fact, if there really is a God, if there really is an all-knowing and all-powerful God watching over everything on earth from beyond the heavens, then the United States should have been completely wiped off the world long ago!

In the heart of the battlefield, the fanatics swarmed like bees and ants, and gathered like zombies, charging recklessly toward Miyazaki Yu. Miyazaki Yu was once overwhelmed by these fanatics!

However, at this moment, he finally revealed his terrifying swordsmanship, which was unparalleled in the world, to the entire world.

The sword in his hand transformed into countless afterimages, with countless sword energies blooming every instant. Although the fanatics were powerful, under this level of sword energy, they could only be easily cut down like weeds under a guillotine.

If it weren't for their inherent madness, which allows them to continue fighting even after their bodies have died and they've become walking corpses, the balance of power in the battle should have already tilted in Miyazaki Hayao's favor!

Miyazaki Yu's sword light was like a cold moon and stars, scattering wildly, like lightning and thunder. His figure turned into a phantom. Even when several satellites captured the image at the same time, the image became somewhat blurry. Wherever his figure passed, the fanatics were all blasted into the air like bowling balls that had been hit.

Sword light, sword energy, hand slashes, foot strikes, knee strikes, elbow strikes—every part of his body transformed into the most terrifying weapon. Anyone struck by him even once was practically declared dead. After the battle ended, once his mental energy dissipated, his life force would be completely extinguished and dissipated.

When autopsies are performed, it will be found that the meridians of these people who were hit have been almost completely shattered, and their life force has been completely cut off.

Many of these injuries are at the cellular level, meaning that even if you manage to withdraw from the fight immediately after being hit, you're likely to die.

These poor creatures, at this moment, are like candles that have been lit, with only a fleeting glow and a momentary light. Once the light fades, all that awaits them is utter destruction.

"That felt great! That felt great!"

This visceral feeling filled Miyazaki Yu with boundless pride, although the numerous restrictions he faced meant he could only rely on sword energy and fists to defeat his enemies, greatly increasing his physical and mental exhaustion.

But this exhilarating feeling is something you can never experience at any other time!

These crazy guys actually vary greatly in strength. The strong ones are comparable to the Earth Knights of the Royal Knights, while the weaker ones are far inferior to the Light Knights.

Unlike the Royal Knights, who mobilized all their forces, these guys used sheer numbers. They were tireless and oblivious to life and death, charging forward without regard for anything else.

Many of those who were knocked into the air and fell to the ground, already like dead dogs, still crawled and tried to attack, only stopping when their heads were completely severed.

If explained scientifically, these guys' brains are in a state of absolute excitement, with all their nerves overdrawn, reaching a level of absolute madness. This allows them to temporarily ignore all fatal wounds and become terrifying beings.

The sword light shifted, and a deafening explosion resounded in the air. The sword speed was several times the speed of sound. Miyazaki Yu could use his psychic power as a barrier to block the sound waves, or he could deliberately create them, but that would consume more of his physical strength.

The explosive sound waves swept around, and the eardrums of the closest fanatics burst instantly, causing these mad dogs to feel intense pain, which further stimulated them to become even more frenzied.

However, the excessively intense sonic boom not only damaged their ears but also severely impaired their eyesight. For a time, the closest fanatics, having lost sight of Miyazaki Yu, began to fight each other.

"Ok?"

This scene delighted Miyazaki Yu, who immediately thought of a way to defeat the enemy.

"By the way, the reason these guys are so hard to deal with is because their spirits are so concentrated, like stubborn rocks and steel, that my Spirit-Slaying Sword is ineffective. But if my spiritual power can reach a deeper level, my sword energy can touch deeper and more hidden emotions, turning these guys who have already gone mad into complete mad dogs!"

Every power needs balance. In many novels, the idea of ​​going into a state of demonic possession is extremely dreaded. The reason for this is that going into a state of demonic possession is an act that disrupts the balance. Even if one occasionally gains some benefits from this distortion, the end result will be extremely tragic.

To give an analogy, it's like trying to use the brain of a mouse to control a huge body; it would definitely result in an idiot.

In the world of wuxia novels, those prestigious sects generally level up slowly, but they also have no obvious weaknesses, and their ability to adapt to complex situations is often the strongest.

It's like those guys are all flawed wooden barrels. Disciples of prestigious sects may not be as good as each other in terms of their special skills, but they far surpass each other in terms of building a solid foundation and growth potential.

While it is true that elevating a particular aspect to its extreme can lead to greatness in a short period of time, the price to be paid is often extremely high.

Just like these fanatics, they stimulate their spirit through faith, merging their mind and body into one, reaching a level of madness. Once aroused, they are indeed extremely powerful.

However, the price is also heavy. This power can only be used a few times in a lifetime, or even only once, like a fleeting moment of fireworks, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

However, such recklessness and disregard for life can indeed cause enormous destruction.

"Although I have thought of a solution, with my current level of mental power, I am not yet able to reach deeper levels of emotion and turn the wheel of death around for them. Since that's the case, then I will go crazy once and explore the deeper spiritual realm!"

Since the start of the battle, he has collected a considerable amount of data. In the world of consciousness, he has completed several dissections, analyses, and investigations. He has discovered some of the secrets of the fanatics, namely the secrets of condensing the spirit, which is exactly what he needs now.

Now that we have a direction, why not give it a try!

"The spiritual realm, open!"

Chapter 578 The Sword of Mirror Lake

"boom--"

In Miyazaki Yu's mental world, at this moment, it was as if the world had been created, and boundless darkness surged into his mind.

Compared to pain, what is truly terrifying is darkness, because darkness is nothingness, the destination of everything, the ultimate end of everything, and the real terror.

Life is like rowing upstream. People strive to go upstream because there is a huge whirlpool and black hole behind them. Once they fall into it, it is the end of everything, the real end.

Everyone is striving to get as far away from this black hole as possible.

But the torrent of time keeps pushing people toward that dark realm; this is the process of life, and the ultimate end of life.

Mental power is the power generated by the brain, so if you want to obtain stronger mental power, make up for his only weakness, and achieve his strongest second sword after the Sword of Slaying Spirit, the second sword that points directly to the Great Dao, you need to go crazy!

The brain is so complex and mysterious. Throughout history, countless heroes and wise men have tried to explore its secrets, but without exception, they have all failed. The reasons for this are too complicated, and a single mistake can cause the entire brain to collapse.

Upon learning this, a metaphor came to Miyazaki Hayao's mind: it was like a giant holding up the sky, using his incredibly rough and huge hands to pluck a fine needle, and then using the needle to carve words on a piece of tender tofu.

If you're not careful with the force, your entire brain will immediately turn into a mess!

Therefore, he has never risked opening his brain and then condensing his own unique spiritual domain.

It's just too dangerous. His strength has been steadily increasing, so there's no need to take such a risk. He only needs to move forward steadily and he can go further than anyone else.

But things are different now. He needs a world-shaking victory, an overwhelming victory, and he faces countless enemies. In addition, his abilities have been unintentionally suppressed, so he needs to push himself!

Even so, in reality, all the previous preparations and battles had laid a solid foundation for this adventure, rather than being an impulsive and rash move.

The bodies of superhumans are materials, the structures of bio-soldiers are materials, and the corpse of Orenero is a rare gem among materials.

Add to that today's fanatics!

The accumulation of quantity finally led to the qualitative change at this moment, which led to this risky endeavor!

The entire spiritual realm was shrouded in darkness. He felt as if he were traversing an endless expanse of darkness, as if he were immersed in boundless desolation and deathly blackness, experiencing the purest darkness deep within his heart.

In this extreme darkness, he simply watched calmly, silently observing everything in the darkness. When a person can completely face their own heart and confront their own darkness, that is the moment when they truly mature.

All of this seems to happen very quickly, but in reality, time is meaningless in the mind. Impacting the mental realm can be compared to target practice.

A hit is a hit, a miss is a miss; there is no intermediate state, nor is there any transition.

The factors involved are far more numerous than one might imagine.

Just like an immortal undergoing tribulation, if you succeed, the road ahead is smooth; if you fail, you face eternal damnation. You can find countless reasons for failure, but if you succeed, then all those reasons cease to be reasons.

At this moment, Miyazaki Yu was just like that. After experiencing extreme pain and extreme darkness, his entire brain seemed to light up instantly.

In an instant, Miyazaki Yu, who was immersed in darkness, suddenly saw the light, and his entire spiritual world slowly brightened from darkness.

If you were to open his brain at this moment, you would see that his brain had actually lit up. The entire brain was like a finely sculpted work of art, with its textures suddenly appearing naturally. A breathtaking power also surged out from it!

This powerful spiritual force is now in no way inferior to that of Orenero in the past!

At the same time, all the fanatics who were fiercely attacking instantly felt a sense of fear, as if they would be crushed in an instant.

Or rather, it feels like facing God!

"call--"

Many of the fanatics who were charging forward instinctively backed away, if they even had any subconscious reflexes left.

"What happened?"

These were questions asked by high-ranking officials from various countries almost simultaneously.

Although the combination of gauntlet attacks and gang fights is a shameful thing, the effect is really good. Faced with the attacks of countless fanatics, this Miyazaki swordsman was clearly restrained. Although the specific reason is unknown, the computer analysis revealed many things that are invisible to the naked eye.

His combat strength has clearly declined, and his speed has also decreased significantly. More than half of the fanatics have died at his hands, but so what?

In the eyes of those powerful figures who have been high above the world, these fanatics are merely expendable commodities. People obsessed with religion will always exist, and there will never be a shortage of such people who are fanatical about doctrine.

Since they can be trained, even if the cost is high, it is still very valuable as long as the mission can be completed.

This is similar to how ancient nobles kept assassins. Although training them was extremely expensive, it was all worth it as long as they could continue to dominate the world!

From their perspective, they have indeed seen hope.

Miyazaki Yu was gradually engulfed by mountains of corpses and seas of blood. The distance and intensity of the sword energy, calculated by the computer, were accurately measured and were gradually weakening.

Indeed, he was powerful, but as long as one is human, physical and mental strength will eventually be depleted, and no one can fight forever.

Many people are already sighing; this powerful and terrifying person will eventually be eliminated.

However, after thinking about the impact he had caused, I felt relieved. He had been terrible enough and had caused enough trouble for America.

Dying now might be a good ending. To die at the height of one's glory would mean being remembered and praised forever, just like some heroic figures.
