Chapter 1868: Chapter 601: Golden Body Expands Again, 1,000 Jun of Strength
Li Baobao’s shock and discomfort were not clear to Xia Hong.
At the moment of slashing out sword energy towards the Red Flame Demon General, he clearly perceived his current basic strength to be 298 jun, a full 128 jun increase compared to the Peak of Xianyang.
This was just basic strength, not the full combat power he was exerting!
The Holy Pattern’s forty-five percent boost was already 447 jun, and just as he decided to turn and face the Red Flame, he swallowed a Bone Burning Pill in a flash.
Therefore, the sword edge he launched with all his strength reached a force of 670 jun!
Crucially, he hadn’t used any martial arts techniques, merely slashed with the sword, so this 670 jun wasn’t his maximum possible power.
Moreover, it wasn’t just the strength; his physical body and the War Body Golden Body hadn’t fully fused, with the Golden Body still in an independent form. Considering that the Dark Realm limits physical strength, only the Spiritual Body could truly be used to kill enemies, he mobilized both the Golden Body and his strength.
Besides the Golden Body, there was also the Holy Tripod!
He was seeing the Red Flame for the first time, unsure of its strength, but just by the fact that it was a Demon General level and could easily summon flames, he knew it wouldn’t be simple.
The Ruins Fire from the Holy Tripod was an unrivaled weapon against soul bodies, so he was naturally going to use it.
Boom......
No matter how much you say, the Star River Sword Qi in the sea of fire eventually caught up to the Red Flame Demon General, the intense sword qi pierced through, directly slicing it into two halves.
"Ah......"
Being cut in half was just the beginning, the Ruins Fire from the Holy Tripod adhered to the break points of the Red Flame’s two halves, like a fierce fire meeting hot oil, with a few crackling strange noises, quickly spreading and instantly turning its body into a transparent state.
The Dark Realm consisted of soul bodies, and transparency was the original state, so the Ruins Fire had burned the Red Flame to its essence, and the intense wail from its mouth made it clear the terrifying pain it was enduring.
Boom......
The Red Flame did not sit and wait for death. Perhaps fueled by a survival instinct, seeing the Ruins Fire revealing his true form, its transparent body quickly expanded, growing to tens of meters in just a few breaths, then heroically severed the parts aflame with the Ruins Fire.
"Go, all of you stop him!"
Such an opportunity granted by heaven, how could Xia Hong let it slip by?
He had just casually slashed out a sword, and at the moment the Star River Sword Blade clashed with the fire dragon emitted by the Red Flame, he sensed that the opponent’s combat strength was just over 500 jun.
Lesser strength than himself, and so afraid of the Ruins Fire, it was the perfect opportunity to strike while the iron was hot, so without any hesitation, he attacked again.
Seeing Xia Hong’s sword edge stabbing straight towards him, with a momentum even more terrifying than the first sword, the Red Flame’s face was full of fear, retreating frantically while issuing a loud order to the large number of Demon Soldiers below.
It must be said, the Demon Soldiers of White Bone Mountain were still very loyal. Seeing Xia Hong’s formidable sword edge, upon hearing Red Flame’s command, none of them flinched, leaping high one after another, charging towards him.
Whoosh......
Xia Hong wasn’t lenient with these Demon Soldiers. The Holy Tripod could absorb Spiritual Bodies, and he managed to break through several realms in such a short time, due to the significant role played by those previous Scattered Spirits. The Demon Soldiers in front of him, armed and armored, were two levels higher than Scattered Spirits, numbering in the tens of thousands.
His pupils vibrated slightly, directly abandoning the kill on the Red Flame, his Shattered Star Sword suddenly swung in the air, bringing forth countless black Feather Light beams, each beam dotted with countless tiny stars, resembling a brilliant star river, a combination of the Shattered Star Sword’s appearance and the unique visual effect from the swiftness of the sword edge.
Feather Light Sword Technique!
Xia Hong was originally a Martial Arts Master, skilled with all weapons, and with his Martial Arts Talent enhanced on the Enlightenment Lotus Platform, acquiring the law-level martial arts mimicking and deconstructing skills, martial arts became effortless for him, allowing continuous optimization on the original martial arts basis.
Feather Light Sword Technique was derived from his wife’s Spiritual Sword Technique; unlike the latter’s thirteen striking shadows where each was a critical hit, this technique triumphed with quantity, using the number of Feather Light Sword Edges mobilized as the cultivation criterion, entering upon surpassing a hundred edges, small success over three hundred, great success over five hundred, and reaching the Transformation Realm over a thousand.
Back when journeying through the Four Vassals, Xia Hong could already mobilize over five thousand.
Now, the number of Feather Light Sword Edges he mobilized had exceeded ten thousand!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh......
What kind of scene was it for one person to unleash ten thousand Feather Light Sword Edges?
Like silver bottles shattering, akin to the Star River exploding instantly, or like an immense black celestial bird fully spreading its wings in the endless void, unveiling billions of light spots, swooping down from the starry sky towards the earth.
To be precise, it swooped towards the thousands of White Bone Mountain Demon Soldiers.
Sizzle......
As the first Demon Soldier contacted the Feather Light Sword Edge, the light spots on the edge suddenly ignited, albeit just a minor spark, but unable to resist the numerous light spots, connecting the second, the third... tiny sparks suddenly linked.
Boom......
"Ah!"
The first Demon Soldier was engulfed by flames ignited by the light spots, while emitting a loud scream, the billions of light spots on the ten thousand sword edges all simultaneously ignited explosively, transforming the original black celestial bird like a phoenix reborn from flames, instantly turning into a Fire Phoenix.
Screech......
With the descent of the Fire Phoenix, the front row of hundreds and thousands of Demon Soldiers was instantly engulfed, their bodies swiftly dissolved, along with their Netherworld Weapons and Nether Armors, all burned into thick smoke, reduced to ashes.
The first Demon Soldier at least managed to scream, but these thousand soldiers, from touching the Fire Phoenix’s wings to vanishing into smoke, did not make a single sound, their faces not even having time to show terror.
