CHAPTER 896: Elysium Canon
Looking around, the yellow sand stretched endlessly.
Apart from the spiritual energy storm caused by the fall of the elysium old demon, this desert was filled with an eerie silence, quiet enough to be frightening.
The once numerous beings, including cultivators, mortals, and flying creatures, were reduced to just a few cultivators who were still struggling to hold on.
Liu Yu casually swept his gaze, only to see a scene of ruin and decay.
Life is sometimes just that fragile.
This spiritual treasure strike was mainly aimed at the elysium old demon, completely unintentionally targeting these lowly beings.
Yet even so, they could not withstand even the slightest aftermath.
Perhaps from the moment the two arrived, their fates had already been sealed.
Within the cone of light, it was all destiny!
"Whoosh~"
The nebula body exerted pressure in all directions as Liu Yu stood in the sky, sword in hand, his robes fluttering in the wind, making a rustling sound.
Using the Slaughtering Immortal Sword, he had struck down the elysium old demon with a single blow, yet he felt a strange sensation.
It seemed that this sword strike had further implications.
Previously, he could not perceive it due to his low cultivation, but now, having reached the fifth layer of nascent soul, he could clearly sense an insatiable feeling.
After the sword strike, it felt like a moment of enlightenment had been abruptly interrupted, or the exploration of the yin yang dao had been halted at a critical moment, giving rise to a strong sense of loss and regret.
"This sword leaves one wanting more."
After a moment of silence, Liu Yu flashed through this thought.
He looked down at the Slaughtering Immortal Sword, subtly communicating with the "sword spirit," and immediately sensed a joyful emotion.
However, "spirituality" was ultimately not "intelligence," and the sword spirit only had simple emotions and could not form logical thoughts, so it could not provide any useful information.
But as time went on, the spirituality of the Slaughtering Immortal Sword would grow stronger, eventually becoming like an ancient spiritual treasure with its own thoughts and personality.
"Perhaps in the end, I will create a complete sword technique specifically to wield the Slaughtering Immortal Sword."
"The first style—raise the gaze to ruin."
"The second style shall be named..."
As he hovered in the air, grasping that marvelous feeling, many insights began to arise in Liu Yu's heart.
"As my cultivation realm increases, the power I can exert also grows stronger, and the limitations will become fewer."
"It seems that the distance to simultaneously wield two swords is not far off."
"Perhaps it will be at the sixth layer of nascent soul, or perhaps in the late stage of nascent soul."
According to that marvelous feeling, various thoughts flashed through his mind.
Soon, through the connection of his spiritual sense, Liu Yu expressed praise and affirmation to the sword spirit, moving his right hand to sheathe it.
"Clang!"
With the ringing of a sword, the gray sword body of the Slaughtering Immortal Sword vanished into its sheath.
"Slaughtering Immortal Sword."
"Storage bracelet."
After sheathing the sword, Liu Yu's gaze shifted to the spoils left by the elysium old demon, and he cast out a magical power to draw them into his hand.
This was not the place to count gains, so he stored the Slaughtering Immortal Sword into his storage bracelet and pocketed the elysium old demon's storage bracelet.
"Yuan Ying refined corpse."
He then shifted his gaze to the fallen Yuan Ying refined corpse that had lost control.
Without the control of its master, the female corpse with twelve arms had already fallen to the ground and re-split into six fourth-stage mid-level refined corpses.
"Through the formation, the six corpses can combine to exert the power of the late stage of nascent soul, and if used properly, they will be quite a good aid."
Flashing this thought, Liu Yu operated his magical power, swiftly collecting the six refined corpses into his storage bracelet.
