Chapter 497
High-grade Immortal Artifact, Late Stage of Tribulation Transcending!
at last
His Righteous Qi Sword has finally been upgraded to a high-grade immortal artifact!
I'm really crying. It went from the Righteous Qi Sword to the Righteous Demon Slayer Sword, and then got stuck on the Righteous Demon Slayer Sword for three decimal places. Now it has finally become a top-grade immortal weapon.
Thank you for your mercy, planner. I genuinely thought you wanted to sell an upgrade package. Sorry, I misunderstood.
Jiang Liu forced back his tears and looked at the brand-new Haoran Demon-Slaying Sword.
【The Righteous Demon-Slaying Sword】
[Rank: High-grade Immortal Artifact]
[Attributes: +2000% damage, +2000% magic damage increase, +100% final damage]
[Entry 1: Breaking Boundaries - 75% chance to tear through the target's defensive barrier upon attack, ignoring the difference in realms at or below the Tribulation Transcending stage, ignoring 30% of the defense of Mahayana stage targets, and doubling the effect against demonic cultivators]
[Entry 2: True Meaning of Demon Slaying, deals 1000% extra damage to demonic beings, increases the efficiency of purifying demonic energy to an instant, and can devour demonic souls and convert them into one's own spiritual energy]
[Entry 1: Vast Domain, expands to a ten-mile radius domain, temporarily increasing the cultivation level of righteous cultivators by one minor realm within the domain, suppressing the cultivation level of demonic cultivators by 30%, and reducing the user's spiritual energy consumption by 50% during the domain's duration]
[Entry 4: Soul Lock-On. Once a target is locked on, attacks will always hit a vital point unless the target leaves the area of effect or escapes through a spatial rift.]
[Entry 5, Demon-Slaying Slash: Condensing righteous energy and the true meaning of slaying demons, it unleashes a golden sword aura a thousand miles long, capable of severely injuring a Mahayana demon cultivator.]
[Entry Six: Ten Thousand Swords Return to One - Summons three thousand illusory swords of righteous power, forming a sword rain that covers an area of one hundred miles, lasting for five breaths. The power of each sword is equivalent to thirty percent of the user's full-force attack.]
[Entry 7: Undying Sword Body, while wielding a celestial weapon, the user's physical strength is equivalent to that of a mid-grade defensive celestial weapon]
Holy crap, that's awesome!
If I had to use just two words to describe it, then only the word "awesome" could describe a top-grade immortal artifact.
With 2000% damage and an additional 2000% magic damage bonus, he's now the grandfather of magic units.
Not only that, the following entries also include 1000% extra damage against magic. Goodness, that's a bit too righteous.
Breaking boundaries, domains, locking, ultimate moves, area attacks, defense—it has it all!
This is a top-grade immortal artifact, the highest-level equipment in the cultivation era!
Invincible!
Jiang Liu, his face beaming with joy, took the Haoran Demon-Slaying Sword out of his backpack.
next second.
Golden rays of light burst forth from Jiang Liu's palm, and the Haoran Demon-Slaying Sword floated in mid-air. The sword was no longer a single gold color, but flowed with seven-colored light.
A lifelike white jade unicorn materialized at the hilt of the sword, and a faint aura of righteousness lingered around the tip of the sword. Wherever it passed, the remaining demonic energy in the air melted away like ice and snow meeting fire.
Jiang Liu reached out and grasped the sword hilt, feeling as if he were holding the whole world in his hands.
He gently swung his immortal sword, and a condensed golden sword aura shot out, instantly slashing towards the remaining remains of the demon statue not far away.
Without a deafening roar, the moment the sword energy touched the golem, the remains made of black magic crystal turned into dust, leaving not a trace.
With this power, he is now absolutely confident that he can directly confront a cultivator at the peak of the Mahayana stage with just this top-grade immortal sword.
Just as the evolution of the Legend of Sword and Fairy was completed, a system notification followed immediately.
He couldn't suppress the fact that he had been unable to break through his current realm, and he broke through on his own!
Previously, breaking through a realm required fulfilling many conditions, but this time, he didn't even need to lift a finger; his realm broke through on its own.
[System Notification: Player's accumulated realm has reached the limit; attempting to break through on their own]
[System Notification: Realm Breakthrough, Great Perfection of Body Integration → Early Stage of Tribulation Transcending]
[System Notification: Realm Breakthrough, Early Tribulation Transcending → Mid-Tribulation Transcending]
[System Notification: Realm Breakthrough, Mid-stage Tribulation Transcending → Late-stage Tribulation Transcending]
[System Notification: Current Realm: Late Tribulation Transcending Stage]
In one breath, he directly advanced from the Great Perfection of the Integration Realm to the Late Tribulation Transcending Realm, only one step away from the Great Ascension Realm!
"This cultivation method is way too easy."
Jiang Liu couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Less than two years to reach the late stage of the Tribulation Transcendence? In the cultivation world, who could accept that?"
"Fellow Daoist Jiang!" Just after Jiang Liu broke through, the figures of True Person Shenxuan and more than thirty Mahayana cultivators appeared at the entrance of the Divine Demon Cave. They walked through the broken passage and quickly approached Jiang Liu, their faces full of awe and gratitude.
Looking at the devastated Divine Demon Cave and the enormous rift that pierced through the heavens and earth, Shenxuan Zhenren was deeply shocked.
He could clearly feel the lingering righteous energy and faint pressure of the immortal sword in the air, knowing that Jiang Liu had not only resolved the Demon Lord's remnant soul, but had also obtained an immense opportunity.
"Fellow Daoist Jiang, congratulations on breaking through to the late stage of Tribulation Transcending!"
Shenxuan Zhenren bowed deeply to Jiang Liu, his tone extremely respectful: "You not only wiped out the Demon Cave and killed the remnant soul of the Demon Lord, but also saved the entire righteous path of Zhongzhou. We will never forget this great kindness and virtue!"
The other Mahayana cultivators also bowed and said in unison, "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Jiang, for saving our lives!"
Jiang Liu waved his hand, put away the Haoran Demon-Slaying Sword, and smiled slightly. He said casually, "You're too kind. It's just my duty. After all, I took your spirit stones, so I can't let you down."
Although he said it casually, he was still somewhat pleased inside.
When he first arrived in Tianjian City, these Mahayana cultivators were still suspicious of him, but now they treat him with great respect. This is the change brought about by strength.
"Fellow Daoist Jiang, now that the Demon Lord's remnant soul has been destroyed, the Divine Demon Cave has been breached, and the main force of the demonic path in Central Continent has been wiped out, it can no longer pose a threat to the righteous path!"
"This is all thanks to Fellow Daoist Jiang!" Shenxuan Zhenren said excitedly, his eyes shining with the light of relief after surviving a calamity.
That's not how you say it.
Jiang Liu shook his head and said in a calm tone, "Although the Demon Lord's remnant soul is dead, the foundation of the demonic path has not been completely destroyed. Who knows if there are any remnants of the demonic path remaining overseas?"
The Demon Lord's remnant soul is nothing; if the developers want, they can spawn a thousand Demon Lord remnant souls anytime, anywhere.
Shenxuan Zhenren's expression hardened, and he nodded: "What Fellow Daoist Jiang said is absolutely right. The demonic path has been operating for ten thousand years, and it is impossible that it only has the God-Demon Cave as its lair. However, with Fellow Daoist Jiang here, even if there are still remnants, they will not be able to cause any trouble!"
He paused, then took out a golden token from his storage ring and handed it to Jiang Liu: "Fellow Daoist Jiang, this is the Alliance Leader's Token of the Taiyi Immortal Alliance. Holding this token allows you to mobilize all the resources of the Immortal Alliance and command all righteous cultivators in the world. On behalf of the Taiyi Immortal Alliance, I earnestly request Fellow Daoist Jiang to serve as the Alliance Leader and lead the righteous path of Zhongzhou to completely eradicate the remnants of the demonic path and restore peace to Zhongzhou!"
The other Mahayana cultivators echoed, "We earnestly request Fellow Daoist Jiang to serve as the alliance leader!"
Jiang Liu: "??????"
Jiang Liu looked puzzled: "Alliance Leader? Doesn't the Taiyi Immortal Alliance have an Alliance Leader?"
"actually."
With a sorrowful expression, Master Shenxuan said, "The Alliance Leader was ambushed by a powerful demonic cultivator two days ago and died from his injuries. This news was not released in order to keep the morale of the army stable."
Other cultivators: "Waaaaah!"
Jiang Liu: "??????"
The leader of the Taiyi Immortal Alliance has been killed?!
Jiang Liu was stunned. He had never even met the alliance leader, and the alliance leader was already dead.
Isn't this a bit too frivolous?
Jiang Liu didn't know what to say, so he could only silently say, "Please accept my condolences."
He looked at the alliance leader's token in his hand, tossed it around in his hand, and then threw it back, saying, "I don't have the mind for this. You should choose your own alliance leader."
If it were six months ago, he would definitely have accepted the position of leader of the Taiyi Immortal Alliance and enjoyed the pleasure of being the overlord of Zhongzhou.
But now, the pursuits are different.
He's about to ascend to immortality, yet he's still playing these games in the mortal realm. He'll be laughed at by his fellow immortals when they find out.
Shenxuan Zhenren was taken aback, clearly not expecting Jiang Liu to refuse. However, he did not force him, since with Jiang Liu's strength, even if he did not become the alliance leader, no one would dare to disobey his will. He put away his token and said, "Since Fellow Daoist Jiang is unwilling, then I will not force him. However, if the righteous path is in trouble in the future, I hope Fellow Daoist Jiang can lend a helping hand."
"no problem."
Jiang Liu readily agreed: "As long as I have enough spirit stones, I'll kill as many of those remnants of the demonic path as they come."
He didn't care about the position of leader of the Taiyi Immortal Alliance, but spirit stones were a different story; he'd take as many as he could get. (End of Chapter)
