Chapter 402 - 384: Primordial Magnetic Power Reveals Its Might

It had to be said, Huyan Tuoba was terrifyingly powerful at this moment.

His speed and strength had both reached the peak of the Muscle Forging Realm. If this heavy hammer struck, no one in the Muscle Forging Realm could possibly block it.

Even with his Formless Flowing Gold, Su Yu would be shattered in an instant, unable to resist for even a moment. When that happened, the best he could hope for was torn tendons and broken bones.

Therefore, Su Yu had no intention of taking this attack head-on.

He had the advantage of his Divine Sense. The instant he detected the shift in the Great Tendons and Qi and Blood in his opponent’s legs, he sensed the danger and acted preemptively.

Qi and Blood erupted from the soles of his feet, his Great Tendons recoiled, and his body forcibly shifted a foot to the side.

The descending two-handed heavy hammer grazed past Su Yu’s right shoulder. The violent Gang Force produced an explosive sonic boom in the air.

BOOM!

The two-handed heavy hammer finally smashed viciously into the ground, letting out a massive crash that echoed throughout Qingxi Village. A huge crater was instantly blasted into the earth, sending soil flying.

’A perfect chance!’

Having dodged the fatal blow, Su Yu’s adrenaline surged to its peak, and his reflexes sharpened to their absolute limit.

In that instant, he spotted Huyan Tuoba’s opening!

’This guy might be incredibly strong, but his brain is clearly filled with nothing but rage and muscle.’

This move was completely committed and irreversible. This was the perfect opportunity—the moment when his old force was spent, and new force had yet to be generated!

’Taibai Primordial Magnetism’s golden qi!’

A murderous intent surged within Su Yu. A wisp of Taibai Primordial Magnetism’s golden qi shot out from his Dantian like a golden stream of light, instantly coiling around the edge of the Mo Yuan Saber.

HUMMM—

The moment the golden qi wrapped around it, the originally pitch-black, profound heavy saber suddenly lit up.

Bathed in the Taibai Primordial Magnetism, the blade took on a crystalline, dark-gold hue. It was as if the vast night sky had been studded with countless fine, dazzling golden stars, and it was unbelievably sharp.

"Demon Shadow Casts Its Shell!"

After dodging Huyan Tuoba’s attack, Su Yu didn’t turn his body, knowing his speed couldn’t match his opponent’s. If he turned, the fleeting opening would vanish in an instant.

His Great Tendons roared like furious dragons. He gripped the hilt of the Mo Yuan Saber tightly with both hands and, using the twisting power of his tendons, executed a reverse-grip upward slash from under his arm, striking behind him!

The Spiritual Ape looks back, not to see the moon, but to see a head fall to the blood-soaked earth.

In that instant, Huyan Tuoba, who was behind him, only saw a golden meteor flash in his vision. It was so blindingly bright and its sharpness so unconcealed that it threatened to pierce through his pupils and into his brain!

ROAR!

Though he had lost his reason to fury, his Martial Artist’s instinct for danger remained. He immediately forced his arms back, hastily crossing them in front of himself.

His movements were incredibly fast; in an instant, an arm covered in iron scales was blocking his face.

’It’s a good thing I didn’t turn to attack,’ Su Yu’s heart tightened. ’Otherwise, he really would have dodged it easily.’

But this momentary opening was more than enough!

"Break!"

Su Yu roared, and the golden edge of the Mo Yuan Saber, in a killing strike, stabbed directly into Huyan Tuoba’s thick, scale-covered forearm.

PFFT!

There was no resistance.

Su Yu felt as if he had stabbed into tofu. Empowered by the Taibai Primordial Magnetism’s golden qi, the Mo Yuan Saber was terrifyingly sharp!

Even the incredibly hard Scale Armor and bone were as fragile as rotten wood before this stab, pierced through in an instant!

With the piercing sound of tearing silk, the golden blade drove straight in, sinking deep into Huyan Tuoba’s hard, horned skull!

AWOOO—

Blood splattered as a shrill, off-key scream tore through the night sky.

His brain had suffered a devastating blow, yet this demonic body, fused with Divine Blood, was somehow still not dead. Its terrifying life force was simply astounding. Huyan Tuoba flailed his claws wildly, trying to attack Su Yu.

But Su Yu would not give him the chance to counterattack or recover.

His eyes were completely calm. The moment he pulled the blade free, the Great Tendons in his arms tensed violently. He put power into his waist and hips to rotate his body, and, gripping the saber with both hands under the bright moonlight, he brought it down in a powerful chop toward Huyan Tuoba’s neck!

SCHLICK...

The Mo Yuan Saber trailed a golden thread of light as it sliced as if through tofu, neatly cleaving off Huyan Tuoba’s black-horned head along with half his shoulder!

Huyan Tuoba’s body couldn’t resist in the slightest; just like cutting tofu, the blade cleanly lopped off his head and his entire shoulder.

THUD!

The once-invincible Huyan Tuoba’s broken body now pitched forward limply, crashing heavily to the ground.

Su Yu let out a long breath. With a flick of his wrist, he shook off the viscous, paste-like black Divine Blood clinging to the blade. The saber once again gleamed with its chilling, cold light.

At the same time, a wisp of Evil Qi drifted out from Huyan Tuoba’s body and drilled into Su Yu’s Dantian.

The sphere of Evil Qi floating above his Dantian was now noticeably denser. Perhaps just one more wisp of Evil Qi was all it needed to expand.

Su Yu retracted his Divine Sense, focusing back on the scene before him. A drop of Divine Blood had already materialized on the corpse, and his face lit up with joy.

’There really is Divine Blood!’

...

In the distance, Chen Fan had been ecstatic, thinking that if he just held on a little longer, Huyan Tuoba would kill Su Yu!

But he never expected the tables to turn so quickly. One moment, Huyan Tuoba was domineering and majestic; the next, Su Yu had run him through the head and sliced him in two with a single move.

’Flee!’

Having already fled once before, Chen Fan reacted even faster this time. The Cold Soul Spirit Fire inside him erupted, and he unleashed an Ape Arm Star-Picking strike!

His ice-blue saber carved a startling arc through the air, instantly forcing Lin Wanzhu back. He then turned and fled.

"Where do you think you’re going?!"

Lin Wanzhu shouted and activated her Wind of the Forest Stance again. Gang Wind erupted from her boots, and her body shot forward like a green shadow in pursuit.

After killing his enemy, Su Yu had been keeping an eye on his Senior Sister’s battle. Seeing that she had been suppressing Chen Fan the whole time, he felt relieved.

’After comprehending the Stance from that divine stone, Senior Sister’s strength has become extraordinary. That’s a pleasant surprise.’

Seeing Chen Fan flee now, he frowned. However, seeing his Senior Sister give chase, he relaxed slightly.

He continued to wait as the Divine Blood seeped out, draining the corpse of all its life force.

Before long, the Divine Blood fully materialized, and the familiar ink-wash characters lit up before his eyes.

[Divine Blood detected. Absorb?]

[Option 1: Absorb to continue increasing the unlock progress of the Divine Skill: Silent Extinction (Thunder) (Tier Two) (1% Unlocked).]

[Option 2: Absorb to continue increasing the unlock progress of the Divine Skill: Taibai Primordial Magnetism (Gold) (Tier One) (51% Unlocked).]

[Option 3: Absorb to unlock a new Divine Skill.]

Su Yu immediately touched the gleaming golden drop of Divine Blood with his index fingertip and mentally selected Option 2.

He wasn’t lacking in Divine Skills right now. Silent Extinction served as his trump card, a "nuclear bomb-level" Divine Skill, and was already powerful enough. Even if it grew stronger, with his current level of strength, he wouldn’t be able to unleash any greater power from it anyway.

After all, activating the Silent Extinction Divine Skill was based on his Qi and Blood Power. Wasting precious Divine Blood on increasing its tier now would be a bit of a waste.

The Taibai Primordial Magnetism Divine Skill, however, was different. It was more of a support-type skill, and the accumulated Taibai Primordial Magnetism’s golden qi was astonishingly powerful.

Just now, he had killed the mighty Huyan Tuoba with a single slash. If not for that terrifying strike, he would have had to resort to using Thunder Summoning or Silent Extinction.

Therefore, improving the Taibai Primordial Magnetism’s golden qi was the most suitable choice at this moment.

Soon, the ink-wash characters before his eyes swirled and reappeared.

[Divine Blood absorbed successfully. Breakthrough Point progress +100%.]

[Breakthrough Points]: 3 (Progress: 38%)

[Option 2 executed successfully. Unlock progress for Taibai Primordial Magnetism (Gold) (Tier One) (51% Unlocked) has been increased.]

[Taibai Primordial Magnetism (Gold) has advanced to (Tier Two) (2% Unlocked).]
