Chapter 476: Eradicator of Realms, Sharpen the Blade!
Earth's Judgment!
Heaven and earth, yin and yang, the five elements of the universe... The heavens were yang and the earth was yin!
The essence of the earth was soil. This move, Earth's Judgment, derived its profound meaning by harnessing the might of the earth to crush all enemies.
The earth crumbled, reaching the depths of the Nine Nether Hells, thus named Judgment!
As the third form of the Heaven-Slaying Sword Art merged into his mind, Ling Feng remained deeply immersed in its overwhelming description.
In reality, Ling Feng took just about half an hour to refine the Cold Spirit Bone. For the other half-hour, he pondered over Earth's Judgment in his sea of mind.
"What do you think you're doing, you brat?"
The despicable donkey saw Ling Feng rise and start wielding his sword, so he grumbled in discontent. This damned brat! Despite all the help from this divine beast, with me even guarding him, he didn't even say a word of thanks! Hmph, good deeds really go unrewarded!
No, rather, good deeds from a divine beast go unrewarded!
Ling Feng ignored the despicable donkey, instead focusing his mind and spirit on the Eradicator of Realms in his hand to go over his recent insights.
His sword moves were very slow, almost like a child taking its first steps.
In fact, every time he practiced a new form of the Heaven-Slaying Sword Art for the first time, his movements were extremely slow. Each swing of the sword seemed to resist the forces of heaven and earth. It was like he was using his sword to shake the power of the heavens, illustrating the difficulty involved.
Thus, after just a few swings, Ling Feng was drenched in sweat. Mastering a new form of the Heaven-Slaying Sword Art was definitely not an easy task.
"This is..."
The despicable donkey's eyes twitched violently. "Is this your most powerful set of sword moves? I don't recall seeing you use this move before!"
The despicable donkey muttered. Unable to resist, the donkey picked up a nearby twig, although it didn’t have fingers, and mimicked Ling Feng's sword moves, hoping to secretly learn a thing or two.
However, it only managed to follow Ling Feng's steps for a couple of moves before tripping over itself and falling hard, eating a mouthful of dirt and angrily yelling.
"Damn brat, this sword technique is all wrong! How is it possible to master this?"
The despicable donkey snorted, glaring at Ling Feng with resentment, but it sensibly refrained from interrupting Ling Feng's insights at this moment.
Finally, Ling Feng finished demonstrating the entire Earth's Judgment sword move, and then combined the moves seamlessly. As his sword blade swept out, a luminous barrier of silver light burst forth.
Next, the ground rumbled with a deep roar. Where Ling Feng's sword pointed, the earth split open, creating a massive fissure that rose and fell like the force of collapsing mountains. The despicable donkey, thinking it was a magnitude ten earthquake, leapt into the air in fright.
"Uh... Uh..."
The despicable donkey felt its mouth go dry. Splitting the ground with a sword was not a big deal, but making the earth shake and tremble like this—was this really something a Pulse Formation Realm martial artist could achieve?
"That sword technique, there's definitely something strange about it!"
The despicable donkey gasped as it watched Ling Feng sheath his sword and stand. It then immediately sidled up with a fawning expression.
"Kid, why don't you consider teaching me that sword technique? This divine beast will take a loss and call you master."
This despicable donkey had always been shameless. Not to mention calling someone master, it would call anyone its parent without hesitation.
"I'm afraid you won't have the chance to learn it," Ling Feng said, pursing his lips. "This sword technique can only be performed while wielding the Eradicator of Realms."
As he spoke, Ling Feng brought his two fingers together and lightly brushed them over the sword blade. The black iron filings on the sword fell off like sifted sand.
The Eradicator of Realms, which had originally looked like a piece of black scrap iron, now had a sharp edge and faintly revealed three colors—red, blue, and brown— that swirled around it like mist.
These colors represented the attributes of fire, water, and earth.
"It seems that when I master Earth's Judgment and obtain treasures infused with the attributes of wood or metal, I should be able to learn the next form of the Heaven-Slaying Sword Art," Ling Feng thought to himself. He then retracted the Heaven-Slaying Sword Art into his body and said casually, "Despicable donkey, I plan to search for treasures in the Sea-Blue Abyss for a few days. Are you coming with me, or will you return to the Five Elements Heavenly Palace?"
"Treasures?" The despicable donkey's eyes lit up at the mention of valuable items, immediately forgetting the previous conversation. "Kid, do you even need to ask? Of course, this divine beast is going treasure hunting!"
"I figured you'd say that." Ling Feng pursed his lips and thought for a moment before deciding to release Lin Xian'er and his roommate from the Five Elements Heavenly Palace after leaving the Sea-Blue Abyss.
Raising an eyebrow, Ling Feng looked at the despicable donkey and said calmly, "In that case, let's move together."
Ling Feng had his reasons for this. Firstly, the demonic aura of the despicable donkey could make other demonic beasts avoid them, saving them a lot of trouble. Secondly, the despicable donkey, being of the demon race, had an exceptionally keen sense for heavenly materials and earthly treasures. Although Ling Feng's Boundless Vision was nearly flawless, it consumed a lot of spiritual consciousness, and maintaining it for too long would lead to fatigue.
Thus, the man and donkey began their search for the Nine-Mystical Creation Fruit in the Sea-Blue Abyss.
The Sea-Blue Abyss was vast and fraught with dangers. Even with the despicable donkey, they couldn't afford to be careless.
About a day later, Ling Feng and the despicable donkey arrived at a dark gorge.
"This divine beast has a feeling that there's something unusual in that gorge!" The despicable donkey said with conviction.
"The ancient, primordial aura is getting stronger." Unlike the despicable donkey's relaxed demeanor, Ling Feng's expression was serious.
His intuition told him that something unknown was hidden within!
"Let's go. We're already here," Ling Feng said, taking a deep breath. "Since we're here, we might as well see it through!"
With that, Ling Feng stepped into the gorge.
The dark valley was eerily silent. As the man and donkey walked through it, they could only hear their own footsteps echoing.A chilling wind also whispered past their ears, giving them an unsettling feeling.
Thump!
At that moment, a heavy thud sounded in the distance, making Ling Feng's heart tighten. He looked down and saw he had stepped on a broken branch.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
Soon after, several more thuds echoed, this time much closer.
Ling Feng's expression turned serious. He immediately drew the Eradicator of Realms, vigilantly scanning the surroundings. The monsters in this place were bizarre and unpredictable; a single misstep could lead to disaster.
Boom!
A dark shadow leapt down and landed heavily from the air, causing the ground to shake violently. In the next moment, an enormous figure could be seen emerging from the thick fog, holding a thick stone pillar. Its entire body was made of giant rocks, with plants and ferns growing on it.
Its two huge eyes were bursting with an eerie, blood-red light as it coldly stared at the two intruders in the gorge!
