It is only today that I'm reminded of the reason humans rose to prominence,
Man is born weak and a simple flu could easily kill him even when man cultivates he is usually inferior in terms of physique and Constitution .yet man ranked close to the bottom of the myriad races possesses one of the best comprehension hence creating the miracle know as post archaic era dao and one the daos ,if not the strongest created. The sword dao and it's cousin, saber dao together forming the blade dao.
Whenever I heard this in the past, I thought it was just bladesmen hooting their own horns.that's until today as I witness a genius from the Asuran kingdom sever a corner of our continent in a single swing and watch Cain use a saber to destroy space for a thousand kilometers to contain and as for my opponent, the arrogant bastard isn't even looking at me, he's barely even touching his sword, fucking celestial.
However arrogant he looked, I know that I'm not a match for this guy , I can sense it , he's simply suppressing his cultivation level for fear of heavenly tribulation yet he seems non chalant about defeating me.I knew that this would end In a split second as I'd seen his swordsmanship at work on our followers, just as I was about to make my move," what did she see in you" at the young celestial's words I momentarily froze an image of an arrogant elf flashing through my mind and thoughts on how he found out. Even this conversation was taking place as he made a sword sign with his hand striking out at a speed that put lightning to shame,it felt as though a sword was clamsly stubbed out yet with in his an amalgamation of stubbing principles, nothing could stop the stab,it could not be avoided only taken head on. Yet just as it stubbed through my chest in the briefest of moments just as the high of success set in,I cast three runes simultaneously draining thirty percent of my soul in a single thought. The runes were the strike, death and curse rune forming the death curse , a self made spell that never misses ,absorbs death energy from the surroundings trapping it in the targets consciousness causing illusion of the targets victims and eating the Dao heart as fuel for the entire process.
The moment it hit him, the death energy from a thousand miles of dead bodies of my remaining surbodinates channeled into him as though water in a balloon had found an outlet.with one hand left, I used my soul power once more, expending forty percent of my soul power to form rune which when translated is called karma. By using my dead comrades corpses, I managed to form the complete death curse that uses ones sins as a flame, dao heart as firewood and qi as wind ,yet just as I'd just finished, my body was blown apart but not before seeing the celestial sporting a nasty grin with golden qi enveloping him .
All this didn't matter as my objective to buy time for the others to ascend yet this fight revealed a glaring weakness, my close combat truly sacks.
