From Sword to Slaughter: Evolution

So exhilarating!

Liu Yi, submerged in the sacred spring, felt a tremendous amount of energy continuously pouring into his body, leaving him breathless with pleasure.

"These energies... it seems I can't absorb them."

Ye Fan sensed his sword deity soaked in the sacred spring. Even though there was a vast amount of energy around him, he couldn't absorb any of it.

It was indeed a frustrating situation.

"But this Liu Yi guy sure has some luck."

"He actually found a place like this."

Ye Fan sighed with a sense of wonder.

At that moment, Liu Yi was frantically absorbing the energy of the sacred spring.

At this rate, becoming a Martial God was only a matter of time.

"Keep getting stronger and slay even more powerful enemies."

"That way, I can evolve even faster."

Ye Fan thought of the Thunder God King and Qian Bai Lian, and a flash of killing intent surged in his heart.

They were both aiming for his life.

They wanted to destroy him!

No doubt they were still tirelessly hunting him down.

"The next time we meet, it'll be my turn to deal with you."

Ye Fan snorted coldly in his mind.

"Hahaha! I've finally made it up here!"

By now, more and more warriors had reached the sacred spring.

As soon as they arrived, they eagerly rushed toward the spring pool ahead.

Without hesitation, they dove into the water.

At this point, nothing else mattered to them. They just wanted to enter the spring and let its power cleanse their bodies.

The sacred spring pool was vast and could accommodate many warriors.

Liu Yi, who was still at the bottom of the pool, continued absorbing the surrounding energy.

This spring was truly miraculous.

Even when completely submerged, Liu Yi noticed that his breathing remained normal.

He could breathe freely even while immersed in the sacred spring!

...

Days passed, and Liu Yi remained in a state of cultivation.

He had no idea how long he had stayed in the sacred spring pool.

When he finally opened his eyes again, it was clear that his entire spirit had undergone a dramatic transformation.

Moving his body with the agility of a fish, Liu Yi swam to the surface.

Splash—

In the next moment, he broke through the water's surface.

"Exhilarating!"

Liu Yi laughed loudly as he emerged from the pool.

Martial Saint peak!

His strength had now risen to the peak of the Martial Saint realm!

All he needed was the right opportunity, and he could break through to the level of Martial God!

Thinking about this filled his eyes with excitement.

Hovering above the spring, Liu Yi glanced downward.

He saw that the once-energized sacred spring water had slowly turned back into ordinary water.

It seemed that, after being absorbed by so many warriors for an extended time, the energy had been completely depleted!

By now, many of the warriors had begun to awaken.

One by one, they climbed out of the sacred spring pool.

"Hahaha, I've broken through!"

"I've broken through too!"

"…"

Each warrior displayed expressions of joy and excitement.

Suspended in the air, Liu Yi gazed down at the warriors emerging from the pool, his eyes scanning the crowd intently.

Soon, he spotted a familiar face.

"You've finally come out."

Liu Yi's eyes narrowed.

In an instant, he drew his sword!

Whoosh—

As soon as the sword was unsheathed, a massive burst of sword energy shot forth, rushing toward the man who had just flown out of the pool!

What's happening!?

The middle-aged man seemed to sense something and his pupils contracted.

With a quick thought, his source energy exploded outwards.

This burst of energy quickly condensed into a shield, blocking the incoming sword energy.

Bang, bang, bang—

The sword energy slammed into the energy shield, causing a series of muffled explosions.

Though the sword energy was terrifying, it was completely blocked.

"Daring to sneak attack me, Zhang Sunbao!"

The middle-aged man roared.

He looked up and saw Liu Yi hovering in the air.

"So, it's you, boy."

Zhang Sunbao sneered coldly when he recognized Liu Yi.

"Anyone who tries to ambush me will pay the price."

Liu Yi's eyes narrowed.

His gaze locked onto the middle-aged man, and his face showed a clear intent to kill.

Without another word, he darted downward!

Whoosh—

Liu Yi moved with incredible speed, appearing in front of Zhang Sunbao in an instant.

Holding the Ye Fan Sword, he swung it down in a powerful slash!

Zhang Sunbao reacted quickly, pulling a battle saber from his storage space.

Clang—

The saber collided with the Ye Fan Sword, producing a massive sound.

Zhang Sunbao was forced back several paces by the impact.

He gritted his teeth and used all his strength to stabilize himself.

When he glanced at his saber, he was shocked to see a notch in the blade!

Impossible!

His eyes were filled with disbelief as he stared at the chipped saber.

This saber had been forged from the finest materials and was considered one of the best weapons below a divine artifact.

Yet, after just one clash with Liu Yi's sword, a notch had appeared on the blade!

Could this sword... be a divine weapon?

His mind raced, filled with dread.

Before he could think any further, Liu Yi was already charging toward him again, sword in hand!

Whoosh—

With Liu Yi now at the peak of the Martial Saint realm, holding the Ye Fan Sword amplified his strength to the level of a Martial God!

Zhang Sunbao had also just broken through to the Martial God level.

"Damn it!!!"

Seeing Liu Yi rushing at him again, Zhang Sunbao's expression grew grim.

Holding his saber with both hands, he swung it through the air.

Whoosh—

In that instant, a stream of blue flames erupted from his saber.

The terrifying blue flames surged toward Liu Yi!

"Heh."

Liu Yi sneered.

In the blink of an eye, he slashed downward with the Ye Fan Sword!

Whoosh—

With one strike, the blue flames were sliced in half!

The blue flames disintegrated almost immediately after being split.

Impossible!!!

Zhang Sunbao's face was filled with disbelief as he watched the scene unfold.
