Chapter 491: Breaking Through! "Wither"
Liu Yu concentrated his thoughts, locking onto a pot of ornamental spiritual flowers within the cave dwelling, and instantly used his Life-Bound Divine Ability.
Nine faint dao marks glimmered briefly, and a trace of magical power was instantly consumed from within his body.
Under the transformation of the golden and silver dao marks, it transformed into an inexplicable and eerie power, and the trajectory locked onto by his spiritual consciousness instantly descended upon the spiritual plant in front of him.
To the naked eye, the originally lush green spiritual plant began to turn yellow and wither.
In just half a breath, it lost all vitality and turned into a pile of ash.
"This Life-Bound Divine Ability must primarily be wood attribute."
"The fire-attribute technique gave rise to a wood attribute divine ability, is it because of the Immortal Abode?"
"Or perhaps it's due to the wood spirit technique I practiced during qi refinement?"
Liu Yu stood from an objective perspective, trying to understand his own Life-Bound Divine Ability.
He subsequently cast the divine ability "Wither" repeatedly, and all the flowers and plants in the cave dwelling were reduced to ashes without exception.
"Did they all die directly because the gap is too great?"
"It seems that direct lethality is not absent; as long as the difference in the essence of life is too great, it can still kill in one strike."
"For qi refinement stage cultivators, a single use of this divine ability should be quite simple."
"For foundation establishment stage cultivators, suffering from a single 'Wither' would still result in serious injury."
After practicing several times, Liu Yu had a basic understanding of the power of his Life-Bound Divine Ability.
However, to confirm more details, it would still be better to experiment on cultivators.
"This control-type divine ability is very suitable for me."
"With the divine ability 'Wither', whether fighting across ranks or slaughtering downwards, it becomes much simpler."
"However, overall, it's still better to target those below my cultivation level, as it can amplify the existing gap."
"This divine ability... Could it be hinting to Liu that I should wield my blade more against the weaker?!"
Liu Yu smiled wryly as this thought flashed through his mind.
With his realm already consolidated and becoming slightly familiar with his Life-Bound Divine Ability, the next step was naturally to refine the magical artifact in his hand to ensure he possessed strength that matched his cultivation level.
He reached into his storage bag and took out the black banner magical treasure.
Liu Yu stirred his magical power and infused it into the strange black banner while simultaneously using one hand to slowly form the refining spell gesture.
In an instant, the cave dwelling glimmered with dark blue spiritual light.
This illuminated his expressionless face, giving him an otherworldly, almost divine appearance, yet also an icy and heartless demeanor.
Like a god, yet like a demon!
More than ten years had passed since the fall of the Black Bone True Man. Even though the black banner was his life-bound magical treasure, the imprint of his spiritual consciousness had long since loosened.
However, even so, Liu Yu still spent two full days to complete the initial refining.
"Two days, and I've only performed a preliminary ritual."
"This magical artifact is still filled with the magical power aura of the Black Bone True Man; I can't unleash its full potential."
"In the future, I need to use my own magical power more to refine and cleanse it."
"However, even so, it's sufficient for now."
"After all, the Black Bone True Man was a late golden core cultivator, and this magical artifact has been nurtured for several hundred years, its power surpassing that of ordinary magical artifacts."
"In the current golden core early stage, it is completely usable."
"Even if I'm not satisfied, this is the only magical artifact I have at hand; I can only make do."
After completing the initial ritual, Liu Yu carefully examined the magical artifact, then shook his head slightly.
