Chapter 345: Blood Slaughtering Heart-Piercing Sword, Life-Bearing Blood Fruit
The moment he realized it, Wang Yu actively contacted this mood.
He silently recited the Prajna Heart Sutra in his heart.
His fierce and bloody aura surprisingly transformed into one of kindness and benevolence. He forgot his identity, power, and past, holding a broom and sweeping away dust with slow, firm movements.
As the Saying Goes.
"Not Complacent with Praise, Not Disturbed by Evil Words." Determining the distinction between internal and external, understanding the Realm of Honor and Dishonor, and accepting one's ordinary self, is to realize the True Self.
The hesitation, fear, confusion, and regret in his heart.
All vanished.
Seemingly searching for himself, comprehending himself… directly reaching the Emptiness of Self Realm!
The Heart Lake area rapidly increased, Mind Power surged, and Wang Yu gradually stepped into the Second Stage of Heart Realm—[Emptiness of Self Realm]!
However, while the path ahead was like a spring breeze caressing his face, following a path of gradual influence, a grand and Righteous Path, strange phenomena began to appear in the Heart Lake as he went further.
Blue smoke rose, transforming into materials and Spirit Stones.
Pink smoke gently swirled, transforming into charming beauties.
Black smoke surged, transforming into a gluttonous giant maw.
A streak of blood smoke transformed into a blood sword tearing through the Sky.
He wanted all Seven Emotions and Six Desires; happiness, anger, love, thought, desire, and sorrow—he desired them all!
What about "Not Pleased by External Gains, Not Saddened by Personal Losses"?
What about "Not Complacent with Praise, Not Disturbed by Evil Words"? Facing praise, he fully accepted it; facing evil words, he would counterattack one by one. If he couldn't beat them, he would endure; if he couldn't out-curse them, he would kill.
To be superior is me, and for everyone to be equal is also me.
This is the True Self, this is Wang Yu's Emptiness of Self Realm!
The Buddha is outdated; now is the age of the Crimson Kite People.
With such an understanding of self, the Eighth Trial of the Stone Stele was silently broken, and rewards followed. Wang Yu, with a strange expression, examined the information that entered his mind.
Rank 4 Divine Ability Technique of the Killing Dao—[Blood Slaughtering Heart-Piercing Sword]!
The mystery is solved… Indeed, it was you.
One of the intentionally leaked inheritances of the Ancient Demon, [Kill].
As for why it appeared in the Blood Abyss, appeared in the Shadow Devouring Hall, and even disrupted the original layout, that is Unknown.
It had little to do with Person Wang. This Divine Ability Technique was a relatively common sword move, but the power it contained was definitely not simple, especially in Wang Yu's current state.
It was simply the best method to control the Killing Intent Blood Sea!
"Nurture Killing Intent, transform it into the form of a sword."
"Shura wielding a sword, one sword to pierce the heart!"
This Divine Ability Technique, he could now attempt to cultivate. After all, he had already stepped into the [Emptiness of Self Realm] of the Mind. Further beyond was the Third Stage of the Mind—[Immaculate Realm].
Achieving this was definitely not a task for a single day.
In addition, with the support of the Asura Killing Heart, this Divine Ability Technique was very suitable for him. The prerequisites were already met; once obtained, he could begin practicing.
At the same time.
Along with Wang Yu passing the Eighth Trial of the Stone Stele, this giant stele, tens of meters tall, suddenly burst forth with a burst of red light. As long as one had passed the first three Trials.
and had made some achievement in their mental state, almost all received an Inheritance, whether Mystical Arts, Secret Techniques, or Mystical Powers, of uncertain rank.
Amidst everyone's surprise, they didn't know who had cleared the Eighth Trial, and unexpectedly, it had even given everyone a benefit.
Yan Ling also frowned, feeling a Secret Method called Killing Intent Perception suddenly appear in her mind, and subconsciously looked towards the place where Wang Yu was sitting cross-legged.
With this glance, she felt as if she saw a towering figure standing in a Blood Sea. She couldn't discern its face, but just sensing it made her feel ice-cold all over.
Like a sharp sword piercing her heart.
Extreme unease!
"Only the last Trial remains. We must seize the time. If the most precious Life-Bearing Blood Fruit is taken away…"
Jiang Mingxin turned his head and surveyed his surroundings.
Savage Ghost Direct Disciple Zhou Lingjun, Five Yin Direct Disciple Tong Du, Gu Poison Direct Disciple Lu Jue, Evil Sword Direct Disciple Yan Tianxing, Ferocious Underworld Direct Disciple Yin Jiuge, along with himself and Yan Ling.
Almost all of them had arrived. Though these Direct Disciples were uniformly at the Third Layer of Core Formation, their future prospects were bright, and their inherent foundations were far beyond comparison to ordinary Disciples.
Absolutely his biggest competitors.
Once the Blood Abyss Trial concluded, they could at least reach the Peak Mid Core Formation Stage. After exiting and undergoing the Blood Pool Baptism, purifying themselves and resolving the Side Effects brought on by the Myriad Spirit Blood Essence.
Then they could step into the Late Core Formation Stage and aspire to the Nascent Soul Stage!
This was the complete advancement path for True Inheritor Disciples of the Inverse Spirit Blood Sect. Regardless of whether they could ultimately break through to the Nascent Soul Stage, the Sect would at least grant them an opportunity.
He didn't know how many Disciples had traversed this path and ultimately become Ancestral Figures, but he, too, aspired to achieve it!
After this moment of self-encouragement in his heart.
Jiang Mingxin subconsciously looked towards Wang Yu. This person was too dazzling; it was impossible to ignore him.
He had the intention to hinder him, but seeing Yan Ling nearby, he still refrained from causing any extra trouble.
The Life-Bearing Blood Fruit was a physical object, regardless of who obtained it.
When the Blood Slaughter Stone Stele distributed it, there would always be a clear indication. At that time, it was likely to descend into a Great Battle Royale.
...
...
Ninth Trial of the Blood Slaughter Stone Stele!
When Wang Yu thought it was still a Mind Illusion type trial, he suddenly noticed that the surroundings had unknowingly become completely silent, and beneath his feet was a thin layer of water.
Clean enough to reflect the entire Sky.
"Realm of the Azure Sky?"
Wang Yu had heard of this type of trial, in the Ancient Texts. Legend had it that this was a type of fruit left behind by Immortals who had once descended to this realm to seal demons.
Immortal legends from ancient times mentioned two examples.
The first instance was in the Late Period of the Ancient Immortal Dynasty. An Immortal devoured the Essence of Spirit Veins, saving this realm from Dire Straits, but ultimately suffered Qi Reversal and perished. This Realm of the Azure Sky was left behind by one Known As the [Mirror Immortal].
The second instance was during the Upheaval of the Ancient Blood Demon. The situation was extremely similar to the first instance. An Immortal also devoured the Essence of Spirit Veins of the fire element, severely wounded the Blood Demon and sealed it, but likewise suffered Backlash and perished.
Both of these events proved that the Essence of Spirit Veins truly could not be devoured.
This thing was like Spiritual Qi Incarnate, a Child of Heaven and Earth, a naturally born Spirit Transformation Honored One, with unmatched power, yet possessing a Heart of Innocence, making it exceptionally easy to deceive.
Turning to the present.
Situated within the Realm of the Azure Sky, such a legendary Secret Land, Wang Yu watched with wide eyes as his reflection, composed of countless water droplets, formed an individual exactly identical to himself.
He instantly realized what he should do.
With a flick of the Yellow Springs Devil Sword, Sword Fiend Qi barriers swept across. The Mirror Image Wang Yu also manifested the same style of Magic Treasure, and the approaching Sword Sha Strike swept towards him.
Unexpectedly, it was slightly stronger than Wang Yu's True Body in terms of power.
In this way.
As a result, Wang Yu was facing Yellow Springs Path Methods for the first time. Knowing the unscrupulous nature of this path, he didn't even use Magic Treasures to block it.
He directly clasped his palms together, and above his head, the Underworld Murky Flow manifested. A giant hand protruded from within, shattering the Sword Sha Strike while continuing to pinch towards the Mirror Image.
"Boom——"
Water splashed in all directions as two Nether Spring giant hands collided, mutually wrestling for power. Upon detecting the power disparity, Wang Yu stepped forward.
In an instant, he closed the distance to the Mirror Image and launched a horizontal flying kick.
Demonic Dragon Roar!
Who knew that his opponent would react later but arrive first. But at least it didn't use the same move as him. Instead, with a flying kick, it launched the Yin Nether Demon Dragon, and at that moment, its eyes lit up with a crescent moon mark.
Moon Illusion Eye Technique!
Wang Yu's mind and spirit swayed, and he unexpectedly fell into the Illusionary Moon Realm. If the Realm of the Azure Sky outside was also considered, he had already fallen into a double predicament.
Divine Sense Power erupted, and with extremely rapid speed, he broke through it, but he was still a step too late.
When he reopened his eyes, the Blood Sea Shura's fist was already at the tip of his nose.
His mind trembled.
The Asura Killing Heart thumped wildly within his Heart Lake Space.
Killing Intent Substantialized, forming a semi-circular shield. It was precisely this moment of delay that allowed Wang Yu to unleash the Little Shura Killing Fist of the Perfection Realm.
They exchanged blows.
Above, Nether Spring giant hands clashed. In the center, Yin Nether Demon Dragons were locked in combat. Below, Blood Seas merged. Two Shura half-body forms exchanged punch after punch, causing the Blood Sea to surge violently.
From the very beginning of the battle, it had reached this level of intensity.
Wang Yu could finally understand what those who had faced him in the past had been fighting against.
Feeling the continuous trembling of his mind.
"So… this is what it feels like when the mind is attacked."
His thoughts turned.
It was better not to release the twin corpses. In case it also created a Mirror Image Body, he was uncertain he could withstand it.
If he were to engage in normal combat, what decision would he make?
Sneak attack! Sneak attack! Still, sneak attack!
If he could use underhanded tactics, he would definitely not engage in open combat. With this thought, Wang Yu's body swayed, and the Aurora Escape Technique transformed into hundreds of Phantom Bodies that scattered in all directions.
The opponent also made the same response.
However.
The Glazed Ice Heart Tower instantly enlarged, covering both Wang Yu's True Body and the Mirror Image beneath the pagoda's base. Unwilling to be outdone, the opponent also summoned the same style of Ice Heart Pagoda, attempting to shield itself.
Cherishing life was also one of his characteristics.
"Buzz——"
Since his Cultivation Level broke through to the Late Core Formation Stage, the Glazed Ice Heart Tower also advanced to the Level of High-Grade Magic Treasure. The third Divine Ability Wang Yu selected was the Ice Soul Divine Light.
At this moment, it was the Ice Soul Divine Light that completely illuminated the inside of the pagoda.
The Mirror Image transformed into an Ice Sculpture at a speed visible to the naked eye. In the instant it broke free, Wang Yu smashed a punch over, blasting the Mirror Image's upper body into smithereens.
It seemed like he had won, but in reality, not quite.
Whether it was the Mirror Image's inherent immortality, or the Recover Secret Method that Wang Yu possessed, both meant that his opponent would not die easily.
The Ice Heart Pagoda shrunk and hovered, rotating above his head.
