âBlade techniques? I canât evade this strike.â
Qin Yu frowned, as if the blade techniques displayed within this Saint Kingdom were even more peculiar.
At this moment, the blade techniques resembled a storm devastating a city.
The red dot representing the Order of Reflection appeared before Qin Yuâs eyes, extending slowly towards Ju Wuwei.
âDrop the blade, or I canât guarantee that I can retract this strike,â Ju Wuwei laughed heartily.
âGeneral.â
Suddenly, a chilling sensation halted his laughter. His throat had been cut by a fine, blood-soaked line.
If the Vajra Long Saber had gone any deeper, his windpipe would have been completely severed.
âWhat a terrifying technique. We canât practice with this pair.â Ju Wuwei sighed, unaware of the origin of the unseen blade.
âIn fact, this is the peculiarity of this Saint Kingdom. The ways here are interdependent and counteractive. Even the most powerful individuals find it challenging to stand atop without facing death. Perhaps this is the balance of the Dao Mystical Saint Kingdom.â Qin Yu speculated.
âThatâs probably it. Each Saint Kingdom has its unique Order. However, with the Holy Lordâs demise, the power of this Order gradually weakens. The City Lord of Nine Tune City is a case in point,â Lu Yue analyzed.
âAccording to my speculation, the Dao Mystical Saint Kingdom classifies the heavenly realm into five levels, which are Confused Consciousness, Human Consciousness, True Consciousness, Dao Consciousness, and Holy
Consciousness. We should be situated between Confused Consciousness and Human Consciousness. Figures like City Lord Cang Zhi of Nine Tune City or Seifer have already reached the pinnacle of Human Consciousness. These living beings possess strong consciousness and may even form a formidable thought process,â Lu Yue explained.
âWhat kind of thoughts?â Shen Qian inquired curiously.
âExclusion. As long as outsiders exist, true freedom is unattainable. Once someone collects the Heart of the Saint Kingdom, they disintegrate with a single thought. Any living being born here cannot resist the Holy Lordâs will.
Thus, the longer we survive, the more troublesome encounters we may face.â Li Yue concluded with a wry smile.
Qin Yu nodded in agreement, refraining from elaborating further.
The City Lord of Nine Tune City represented an even more formidable existence.
He could conceal his cultivation, preventing Saint Chen Shuang from detecting it. This level of power is not something an ordinary Human Consciousness could attain.
Boom!
Just as they were conversing, an explosion erupted. It was Xiao Yunfeiâs skill core explosion and the formidable shockwave swept toward Qin Yu.
Even though she had witnessed it several times, the terrifying power still astonished Qin Yu.
âWhat an intimidating power. However, the activation requires too much time.
Without someone to cooperate, hitting the target becomes quite challenging.â
Qin Yuâs Nine Heavens Manifestations Gaze had been fixed on Xiao Yunfei, discerning his weaknesses with a single glance.
âImmortal Emperor Yao, Cang Zhi mentioned needing to harness the power of the Heart of Saint Kingdom. How do I activate this power?â
Qin Yu inquired tentatively in his sea of consciousness.
âThe power of the Heart of Saint Kingdom can only be utilized after youâve comprehended the order here. You can only tap into the power of the Saint Kingdom after reaching the True Consciousness level. This is the purest and most violent force of the Kingdom. Of course, this energy serves various purposes, such as cultivation, artifact crafting, combat, healing, and even breaking through certain restrictions, as the City Lord likely intends.â Immortal Emperor Yao answered Qin Yuâs query.
At that moment, within Nine Tune City, a destructive consciousness suddenly descended upon the city.
Seifer had fully recovered from the weakened state of his army.
A cold and eerie spiritual aura suddenly enshrouded the entire Nine Tune City.
Simultaneously, another consciousness burst out of the bunker, and maniacal laughter echoed throughout Nine Tune City.
âDo you think you can act so recklessly in my territory?
In an instant, the chilling spiritual qi dissipated.
The bone fire in Seiferâs eyes blazed. He pointed at the city with his pale finger.
âVery formidable, comparable to me.â
âItâs fine. He is also restricted to the outer region. As long as he canât attack outsiders, I can handle them alone. The Heart of the Saint Kingdom is too wasted on you.â
Looking at Nine Tune City, Ming Xie revealed a greedy expression.
âIf it werenât for the fact that I canât attack outsiders, I would want to kill you and see what secrets you have to be so powerful. Your power is even more terrifying than the most powerful black dragon under my command.â
Seifer laughed hoarsely.
âYou will know very soon.â
Ming Xie also revealed a strange smile.
A year passed quickly in the Time Rubikâs Cube. During this year, Qin Yu became more familiar with the Order of Reflection.
Including his close combat skills, Qin Yuâs progress had improved significantly after fighting Ju Wuwei for a year.
However, he still couldnât cultivate his own âforceâ like Ju Wuwei. This power was different from his Evil Eye sword move.
It completely abandoned the rules and was purely a force produced by combining the blade and oneâs strength, similar to Xi Mennâs One Sword One World.
Ju Wuweiâs blade techniques also advanced to another realm. Li Yue, Shen Qian, Xiao Yunfei, and the others also had made significant improvements.
When they came out, the necromancy army had also gathered.
The eight black dragons covered the sky and the sun as they circled Nine Tune City, sending shivers down oneâs spine.
âAlthough we have eliminated Seiferâs power in this battle, our situation is still not optimistic. We have to stop Seiferâs army from entering the deeper regions. This person can defeat Ju Wuwei with a single punch. Whether itâs his soul, Saint Power, or physical body, heâs at least in the black dragon realm. If we donât take care of him, we wonât be able to win.â
Lu Yue said solemnly.
âI have a question. Why is it that once the city falls, we are considered to have failed? What if we escape from Nine Tune City?â
Shen Qian still did not understand.
âJunior Sister Shen Qian, actually, from how you came to Nine Tune City, I can tell that I wanted to avoid this city at that time. However, no matter how I walked, I could only come here. Moreover, whether itâs the soldiers or General Li Liefei, apart from fighting and answering in a fixed pattern, they have almost no other emotions.â
Qin Yu said with a bitter smile.
âThis is just a random secret realm instance set up by Saint Chen Shuang to conduct the initial investigation of outsiders. If it fails, the power of the wipe will completely clear the person..â
