Chapter 474: Chapter 355: Breaking the Martial Saint’s Blood, Subduing a Powerful Foe, Comprehending Sword Intent!

In a giant’s ballad, every word weeps blood as the silver chain pierces through.

This time, clarity dawned on Su Mu’s heart. Suddenly he understood something he had been puzzled by: how the Illusion Realm could directly replicate the life-and-death encounters of his past. He now realized it was related to the three secret techniques: Desolate Cage, Desolate Chain, Desolate Devouring.

The giant who created these three spiritual secret techniques might very well be the most profound existence on this planet regarding the understanding and study of the soul.

An endless black fog slowly crept in.

The strength within him lay dormant, as though falling into an abyss.

...

Inside the Eighth Floor of the Illusion Realm.

Lush greenery, towering ancient trees spanned across, with the surrounding air extremely humid. The gravity here was also different, nearly sevenfold that of the normal.

Su Mu slowly opened his eyes. The confusion in those eyes flashed and disappeared in an instant, instantly replaced by complete clarity. This time, once again, it was the Golden Fruit within the Sea of Consciousness that played a role.

This further solidified his conjecture that the memory world left by the Fall of Giants was indeed from the giant who created Desolate Devouring.

This time, his Qi and Blood remained at the level of a Fourth Level Martial Artist, with the Mind Divided into Three Thoughts. Just as Su Mu was about to observe his surroundings.

Buzz-----

Zheng!

Within the Sea of Consciousness, the Crystal Human Form and the already Peak Blade Momentum both warned.

After ascending the Seventh Floor ladder, under the infusion of that purest Silver Radiance, the Crystal Human Form solidified a third of its transformation.

Entering the Grandmaster Realm from the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pool brought unprecedented strength enhancement, but not much increase in Spiritual Power.

This time, the increase in Spiritual Power from the Seventh Floor ladder was only a pitiful twenty to thirty percent, but Su Mu was not surprised. He was well aware that the real surge in Spiritual Power would come only when the Crystal Human Form completely transformed into the Diamond Human Form!

Currently, in the perception of Spiritual Power, he could clearly sense a figure standing not far behind, but the figure was all distorted around him, making it impossible to see the face.

Compared to the perception of Spiritual Power, the Peak Blade Momentum was much simpler and more straightforward, like the perception of killing intent.

Under the perception of killing intent, he could clearly sense a crimson figure tailing him, the crimson on this figure gradually deepening, indicating that the person behind him was growing in killing intent towards him.

The Illusion Realm already warps reality, where even friends and family in reality would make an attempt on him in the Illusion Realm, so Su Mu paid no mind.

His eyes flickered slightly, instantly understanding the test of the Eighth Floor.

"Interesting, so the test of the Eighth Floor is this guy."

With anticipation, Su Mu then glanced at the fluffy Foodie beside him. Seeing that Foodie was still in the form of a ground-walking chicken, Su Mu was slightly dazed before recalling that he had forgotten about Foodie during the Seventh Floor of the Illusion Realm.

Whereupon, he smiled and patted Foodie on the head.

...

The figure in the shadows approached step by step, with neither the person nor the bird in front showing any reaction.

She was highly confident in her Stealth Technique, certain that even swaggering under the eyes of a Tier Eight Middle Level War God would not easily reveal her presence.

She thus strolled casually, approaching within a hundred meters.

At this distance, she observed with interest the magnificent bird-shaped Fierce Beast, its Feathers swirling like flames, and its abdomen cold as ice. This big bird was marvelous, the only flaw being its tail feathers were too short, appearing somewhat out of proportion.

"This Fierce Beast cub seems pretty nice... it’s mine!"

Confident that from this close of a surprise attack, not even an Eighth Level Grandmaster would have time to react, she believed the human suddenly appearing before her could not possibly respond in time and would be severely wounded in the most unexpected of attacks.

Moreover, she wore the Star Compass, ensuring that even if her opponent attempted a final counterattack, it would be impossible.

Furthermore, judging by the Qi and Blood fluctuations, the human was merely a Fourth Level Martial Artist, which could certainly not be faked, and she had repeatedly confirmed this over time.

With this thought, the figure’s eyes revealed killing intent.

As she was about to launch her attack.

The next moment.

The human she regarded as a fish on the chopping block suddenly moved. This human, possessing eyes deep as the stars, raised his right palm as if it were a blade and brought it down.

This slash was extremely slow.

It seemed as though randomly swung by a three-year-old child, and he held no actual sword, merely making a sweeping gesture through thin air, appearing somewhat comical.

But at the moment the human raised his palm, Yuliss’s eyelids suddenly twitched; she sensed an immeasurable life-and-death threat.

Was her perception mistaken?

A moment later, she realized her premonition was not wrong...

Zheng!

The Peak Blade Intent descended from the heavens, and the purely potent Blade Momentum instantly converged on this human’s right palm, transforming into a Blade of Sharpness upon descent.

In one slash, the space could no longer bear the weight, and the void resounded with shattered fragments, as if that slash had transcended time repeatedly, instantaneously traversing space and arriving before her.

"So fast, how could this possibly be a slash that a Fourth Level Martial Artist can wield?!"

The figure behind narrowed her pupils fiercely, but the slash was too fast, so incomprehensibly fast, that the human she deemed prey turned into an unspeakable formidable Fierce Beast.

Crack!

Something crisp shattered, promptly releasing a surge of Qi and Blood amidst the terrifying sharpness, forming a golden sphere.

The figure within the sphere appeared alarmed and unsettled, her clothing disintegrating under the sharpness, revealing a smooth alabaster-like body, unrestrained, a perfect vessel akin to a masterpiece of art.
