Seeing the end, especially those four characters, Meng Zhangqing's heart could not help but stir again.

There was no way.

This was something very hard to suppress.

After all, this was Sword Intent!

The true meaning of martial arts of legend!

The supreme realm pursued by countless martial artists throughout the ages!

Even as a prototype, it had already entered the threshold of true meaning!

"Once I fuse the Sword Intent prototype, to what exaggerated realm will my strength amplification rise?"

Meng Zhangqing thought in his heart.

The sword momentum had already boosted the sword technique by more than ten times.

Then wouldn't the Sword Intent be?

Moreover, the amplification of Sword Intent was not so simple and straightforward; there seemed to be something more profound within.

As for exactly what it was.

He was unclear.

The ancient books he had read before held no record of it either.

I suppose only those who truly possess and experience it can know.

He did not fuse the Sword Intent prototype immediately.

Perhaps it was due to old habits; good things should be saved for later.

"System, use one Attribute Selection Card."

"Fuse Elder Yun Bujue's martial technique attribute: 'Holy Spirit Slaughter Sword Art'!"

Meng Zhangqing said.

"Ding!"

"Consumed one Attribute Selection Card!"

"Obtained Attribute: 'Holy Spirit Slaughter Sword Art' (Great Perfection)"

"Fuse immediately?"

"Fuse!"

"Ding!"

"Fusion started!"

As the words fell.

An incredibly vast torrent of information surged in his mind.

Far exceeding any previous time!

Kill, kill, kill!

In every piece of information, in every wisp of realization, there seemed to be boundless killing nature!

Fortunately, the System came with purification, immune to all side effects.

Just like when fusing the bloodline back then.

Otherwise, without an absolutely strong mental will, one could not endure it.

This fusion lasted a full half an hour.

??????????? Begging for flowers 0???

Meng Zhangqing slowly opened his eyes!

Boom!

In an instant.

Meng Zhangqing's temperament seemed to have undergone a earth-shattering change.

As if the Lord of Slaughter had descended!

The might of a single glance, a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood!

The terrifying killing intent made the entire pavilion shake.

His right hand rose, two fingers forming a sword.

Gray light flickered at the fingertip.

It seemed to harbor terrifying power; once released, it would be enough to destroy everything!

Crack!

The ground was the first to give way, constantly shattering, stretching all the way to the doorway before barely stopping.

The buildings on Spirit Peak were made of special materials, incredibly hard.

And he merely raised his hand.

Merely leaking a trace of power caused these buildings to struggle to withstand it.

Imagine if he released it fully.

How powerful it would be.

"No wonder it's a High-grade Earth Rank sword art, second only to Heaven Rank."

"It's also among the top in its class!"

0.......

Meng Zhangqing lowered his hand.

He swiftly retracted all his aura.

He returned to a state of calm.

He dared not use it within the Zong Sect, or here—otherwise the commotion would attract unnecessary trouble.

He just received the Holy Spirit Slaughter Sword Art this morning, and by evening he had already perfected it?

Like the Great Freedom Mystic Gold Sword Art, the Holy Spirit Slaughter Sword Art is also a top-tier art in its class.

Its power is extremely strong.

But due to its extreme cultivation difficulty, many are deterred.

After all, it requires killing too many living beings.

And most critically, it is hard to bear the effects of immense slaughter.

If it were merely killing, many could manage it—just grow numb to it—but to channel the killing aura into one's body is an extremely dangerous act.

It is no different from daily roasting one's spirit and will over a furnace; if one slackens even slightly, the result is qi deviation.

Before entering the art, it is still manageable—the slaughter is not excessive.

But afterward, the number becomes truly horrifying.

Tens of thousands are merely the starting point!

To reach full completion, one may need a flood of murderous karma to forge it!

Meng Zhangqing felt that Yun Bujue had not reached full completion.

Aside from lack of insight, he probably dared not continue cultivating it.

Or perhaps he had no means to kill.

After all, as a righteous faction.

Aside from slaying demonic cultivators and beast monsters, he could not commit wanton slaughter.

"Among the disciples of Lingxiao Peak, I'm probably the only one practicing it."
