Chapter 873: Slaying Tian Jian! (1/2, Request Moon Tickets)

In stark contrast to Fang Yue's furious form, Jian Wufeng lay pinned to the ground as if bound by invisible iron chains, utterly immobilized.

His body was utterly weak, drained of all strength, exhausted beyond endurance.

Under this stark contrast of surge and erosion, Jian Wufeng faced a plight he had never known—the first true abyss of his life.

The sensation of death looming before his eyes, the suffocating dread, the feeling that in the next instant he would be obliterated, his body and soul erased without a trace—made his heart pound violently, his mind go utterly blank.

He, Jian Wufeng, the peerless sword cultivator who once ruled Jingcheng, towered above Qing Guo as Sect Master of Tian Jian Sect, a Yu-level powerhouse, was about to perish here!!

In this final moment, this ultimate moment of despair, only six words filled his mind!

"Save me, Lord Tian Jian!!"

And almost the instant the thought surfaced…

Crack!

A crisp sound suddenly rang out, piercingly clear even amid the chaos.

Then…

The sword split.

The Tian Jian, passed down through dozens of generations of Tian Jian Sect, the blade that had struck terror into countless souls of Qing Guo, hailed as Qing Guo's number one sword, split apart.

It cracked cleanly down the middle, dividing into upper and lower halves.

The Tian Jian split suddenly, strangely, despairingly.

Jian Wufeng's eyes widened in shock, his gaze hollow, his thoughts plunged into blankness.

Hum!!

When he dazedly looked up, fully armored Fang Yue had already plunged down before him, his black blade piercing straight through Jian Wufeng's chest.

In this helplessness, the furious force shattered his flesh outright, leaving only fragments of bone like bullet shrapnel flung deep into the earth.

The Yu-level expert, 【Tian Jian】 Jian Wufeng, was slain on the spot by this single strike!

The residual force slammed the ground downward with a violent heave, forming a massive circular crater!

The ground within a hundred meters split and heaved, the surface rupturing like peeling skin; all strange entities within range fled in terror like startled birds.

Shattered stones flew everywhere, dust thickened the air.

When the dust finally settled and all returned to stillness…

A hundred meters around had become ruins—trees shattered, ground cracked, everything in utter chaos.

Before Fang Yue, Jian Wufeng's corpse was gone.

Before such furious power, Jian Wufeng had no defense whatsoever—he was utterly obliterated, his body crushed to dust, not even a single intact fragment left behind.

The only proof that Jian Wufeng had ever existed was the broken sword on the ground.

The divine weapon known to the world as Tian Jian now lay severed in two, its halves fallen lifelessly, devoid of luster, no trace remaining of the terrifying sword intent that once radiated from Jian Wufeng's grip.

System Prompt: Congratulations, player 【Yese Liming】, 【Weird Realm】 has reached 100%. 【Weird Realm】 has advanced to 【Disaster High Tier】!

Fang Yue:!!!

Having just slain Tian Jian Jian Wufeng, Fang Yue was instantly exhilarated upon hearing the system prompt.

He quickly opened his attribute list.

Two base attributes had instantly reached their maximum values.

Control Power: 69980 【Base: 70000 / Reached Realm Limit】 【Status/Bonus: -20】.

Dissipate Power: 69980 【Base: 70000 / Reached Realm Limit】 【Status/Bonus: -20】.

Both base attributes had surged by twenty thousand points in an instant, reaching their peak.

The Weird Realm had also successfully advanced from 【Disaster Mid Tier】 to 【Disaster High Tier】.

Weird Realm: Disaster High Tier 【0%】.

With the realm breakthrough, Fang Yue clearly felt his use of 【Weird Spirit Root】 power had grown stronger.

The numbers may not have changed, only the realm had shifted—but in reality, a qualitative transformation had occurred: a single unit of Weird Value now produced roughly ten times the strength it had in 【Disaster Mid Tier】.

He turned to the other system prompts…

System Prompt: Congratulations, player 【Yese Liming】, Control Power has reached realm limit, converted to 【Realm Breakthrough Progress】.

System Prompt: Congratulations, player 【Yese Liming】, Dissipate Power has reached realm limit, converted to 【Realm Breakthrough Progress】.

System Prompt: Congratulations, player 【Yese Liming】, 【Realm Breakthrough Progress】 has reached 100%. Accumulated strength has erupted. Realm broken through. Reward: Special Attribute 【Comprehension】 +10.

System Prompt: Congratulations, player 【Yese Liming】, under 【Full Attribute】 conditions, accumulated strength has erupted. Realm broken through. Reward: Special Attribute 【Comprehension】 +10.

After slaying Tian Jian Jian Wufeng, Fang Yue's own strength surged dramatically.

He had expected to need years of arduous cultivation to achieve breakthrough—yet now, after killing Tian Jian, he had gained a qualitative leap.

This was the evil nature of the Weird Spirit Root.

Killing others could enhance one's power! And in some sense, killing human cultivators was far more efficient than killing Weird Entities—the conventional path.

【Kill kill kill kill! Let us hunt down those enemies lost in darkness! Huh huh huh!】

The parchment seemed exhilarated, its tone brimming with joy and heightened excitement.

But Fang Yue had no attention for the parchment now—he himself was caught in a surge of exhilaration.

Broken through! Broke through 【Human High Tier】, directly reaching 【Cloud Low Tier】!

From this moment forward, he was a Cloud-level powerhouse, truly the strongest existence beneath the Yu-level.

In an era when Rain-level warriors rarely appeared, Cloud-level warriors were the strongest warriors one could find in today's Qing Guo!

Fang Yue carefully felt every change in his body, and soon, he discovered that he seemed to have gained a new understanding of something like the Origin of life; the surrounding environment and everything around him became clearer, and his perception grew sharper.

If he wished, with his senses fully opened, he could even capture every frame of fast-moving objects in slow motion, comprehensively receive all information, and perform systematic analysis.

This feeling was like his brain suddenly upgrading—from an antique old machine, suddenly upgraded to the latest-configured supercomputer, processing speed off the charts, and things that previously couldn't run now became operable, and even things that previously couldn't be discovered were now discovered… such as the Origin of life.
