As the Dragon City Lord observed Luli at this moment, initially thinking Luli was already outstanding, he now realized he had underestimated him. Such an individual was destined to be a dragon among men, and there was no way he would submit to being subordinate.
A person of this caliber could only be befriended. At this moment, the Dragon City Lord seemed to glimpse into Luli's future, foreseeing a soaring dragon dominating the heavens, invincible and unparalleled.
Regardless of the Dragon City Lord's thoughts, Luli was fully engrossed in a fierce battle with the transcendent realm bandit leader wielding a sword. The Red Sleeve Blade in Luli's hands became increasingly excited and fervent. As Luli held the Red Sleeve Blade, he keenly felt the emotions transmitted by the blade spirit.
The Red Sleeve Blade now thirsted for even more refined essence, and its desire to break free from its cocoon and transform into a butterfly grew more intense!
Luli could distinctly sense that once he killed this transcendent realm opponent, the Red Sleeve Blade would undergo a metamorphosis, signifying a significant transformation.
Having swallowed a Sandalwood Pill to mend the injuries sustained during the previous battle with the transcendent realm bandit leader, Luli felt a refreshing flow permeate his entire body as the pill dissolved, akin to a gentle spring rain nourishing all things. His previously injured meridians were healed in the blink of an eye. While a Sandalwood Pill might be considered precious, its efficacy made it unquestionably worthwhile.
"You may meet your demise now!"
Suddenly, Luli spoke, and the radiant glow on the Red Sleeve Blade intensified. A streak of blade radiance detached from the blade, catching the transcendent realm bandit leader off guard. The bandit leader, desperately evading the blade radiance, was unable to avoid a direct hit to his abdomen, resulting in a gory scene.
Amidst the cries of agony, Luli, with unwavering determination, pressed forward with the blade, piercing through the transcendent realm bandit leader's chest from behind.
"What cultivation level have you attained?"
"Guess!"
The head of the transcendent realm bandit leader had already fallen, another one meeting his end unblinkingly.
"Congratulations to the host for killing the deputy leader of the Heavenly Abyss Twelve Strongholds, Weihu Stronghold. Fierceness value +16!"
"Congratulations to the host for transcending levels and killing a transcendent realm first-stage expert. Fierceness value +20!"
At this moment, the Red Sleeve Blade suddenly erupted with a brilliant red glow, conveying an immensely excited emotion to Luli's mind.
Simultaneously, an extremely pure energy, held by the Red Sleeve Blade's hilt and transmitted to Luli, caused his cultivation, originally at the peak of the fifth stage of the Meridian Qi Realm, to instantly advance to the sixth stage. Not only did Luli feel that he had reached the peak of the sixth stage, but the energy was exceptionally pure, representing a substantial leap in his cultivation.
Terrifyingly, the Red Sleeve Blade, having broken out of its cocoon and transformed, provided feedback to Luli's energy, directly propelling him to the peak of the sixth stage, a complete small realm upgrade.
"Congratulations to the host for the successful awakening of the Red Sleeve Blade's blade spirit. The Divine Weapon System is now activated!"
Luli checked the system interface and indeed found a new section related to cultivating divine weapons.
Divine weapon, divine weapon – Luli glanced through it several times, confirming that it was indeed a divine weapon. Luli didn't have time to examine it closely at this moment, as the surrounding mountain bandits still posed a threat, and accumulating fierceness value was the top priority.
Observing Luli kill their transcendent realm leader, the mountain bandits were still in shock. Just then, Luli, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, swung the Red Sleeve Blade, unleashing crimson blade radiance that resembled a storm, reaping lives without restraint.
Each time Luli killed a person, he unexpectedly felt the Red Sleeve Blade provide him with a trace of refined energy.
Feedback – the Red Sleeve Blade was actually providing energy feedback to him. Could this be one of the abilities that a fully awakened blade spirit possessed?
What is a spiritual weapon? It is a weapon imbued with spirit. However, generally, newly forged spiritual weapons are in a chaotic state, lacking any spiritual intelligence and possessing only an instinctual desire for growth.
Spiritual weapons have a chance to awaken, and once awakened, their spiritual intelligence gains a special ability.
At this moment, the Red Sleeve Blade's blade spirit awakened, and unexpectedly, its special ability was feedback – killing a mountain bandit, extracting their essence, then absorbing the essence through the Red Sleeve Blade itself, providing Luli with a trace of the purest original energy.
Although the energy obtained from killing mountain bandits was extremely subtle, it was the accumulation of such subtleties that mattered.
On a distant hill, a pair of eyes gazed at Luli, brimming with resentment.
"Such an outstanding junior, it's satisfying to see him die!"
A spiritual palm formed in the sky and slapped directly towards Luli. Sensing the danger, Luli then felt an overwhelming weight, as if a mountain were pressing down on him.
A spiritual giant hand, akin to the hand of the heavens, descended, majestic like an abyss.
"Not good!"
Luli perceived an unprecedented danger, swiftly retreating. However, the giant hand approached with astonishing speed. At Luli's pace, there was no way to escape the enveloping range of the hand.
"The mighty Spiritual Realm actually attacked a Meridian Qi Realm martial artist. Are they trying to make people burst into laughter?"
Just then, a sword radiance, like a crescent moon, swept towards the spiritual giant hand.
The sword radiance arrived before the spiritual giant hand, creating a terrifying explosion. Ripples formed, shooting out in all directions. Where the ripples passed, ordinary mountain bandits seemed to be directly cut into pieces, their bodies severed, and blood sprayed out, instantly silenced.
Luli had already retreated to the edge of the impact zone. As the ripples approached, Luli defended with his blade, forced to take a few steps back, leaving two distinct footprints on the ground.
Fortunately, the Red Sleeve Blade was a spiritual weapon, finally managing to withstand the ripples. Even so, Luli was still severely shaken. He quickly swallowed a Sandalwood Pill to recover.
Beside Luli, someone holding a sword was already rushing towards the opposite hill.
With each step, a majestic sword radiance, resembling thunderbolts blooming in the night sky, swept towards the hill.
Luli watched attentively as the small hill was crushed by the awe-inspiring sword radiance, generating fragments that filled the air like a rain of dust.
Spiritual Realm – this was the Spiritual Realm. After the Meridian Qi Realm, there was the transcendent realm, followed by the Spiritual Realm.
The might of the Spiritual Realm was unexpectedly terrifying. With one person's power, they could effortlessly destroy a small hill.
"I didn't expect that the insignificant Eastwood City would also have experts in the Spiritual Realm. Haha, it seems that the eleven surrounding cities are the ones conspiring to kill our envoy!"
Two Spiritual Realm experts engaged
in a tumultuous battle from a distance, causing mountains to crumble and rivers to change course. Countless wild beasts in the mountains perished without even a cry, turning into a mass of flesh.
The earth-shattering sword radiance howled, and the giant spiritual hand descended like the hand of the heavens, smashing towards the earth.
Luli watched the intense battle between the two, his grip on the Red Sleeve Blade tightening.
This is how warriors should be – swords roaring in the sky, blades tearing through the firmament!
"I, Luli, will undoubtedly become an unparalleled martial artist!"
As he tightened his grip on the Red Sleeve Blade, Luli felt even the blade spirit of the Red Sleeve Blade trembling. His eyes showed unwavering determination.
"Hmph, I won't fight with you today. Eastwood City, get ready to face destruction!"
The voice disappeared, and a figure had already retreated hastily towards the distant hills.
At this moment, the deafening sound of battle cries erupted behind him. The defending troops of Eastwood City had already charged out of the city.
The enemy leader had escaped, leaving behind numerous bandits and minions scattered across the mountains – the perfect opportunity to harvest fierceness value.
