Chapter 179 - Slaughter Array (2/2)
Shin Xuanji didn't take this seriously. His origin core shined as his qi-essence infused with his origin swept out like a tide of black blood. Within a second, it swept his enemies and crushed them all under its immense weight.
For an Origin Core expert, a hundred Qi Unification warriors were nothing more than ants beneath a boot. The difference in realm alone constituted this fact, adding his foundation, concepts, and armaments, this was nothing more than a slight breeze.
After a minute passed, thirty-three more appeared. Their souls were stronger, their auras, both vital and qi, reached the late-Qi Unification Realm. ”I see…” With another wave of his sword, the enemies were easily demolished.
Third level, peak-Qi Unification Realm. Shin Xuanji could deduce the levels in the future. He faced them with ease. Fourth level introduced half-step Origin Core experts. Each armored individual started to radiate auras of laws, as if they had discovered and excavated their origin sources.
It's likely these levels were based on individual cultivation bases, likely relating to his qi cultivation base. This test specifically tested comprehensive combat strength.
The fifth level was harder than any other level thus far. Shin Xuanji struck with ferocity, fighting the experts with a black bloody storm filled with immense weight. It crushed those unable to defend themselves.
The sixth level had peak initial-Origin Core experts. Their great coordination was now capable of being properly exhibited. The difference in strength was slowly closing, forcing Shin Xuanji to expand more qi-essence to kill one.
The seventh level was tougher, dealing with thirty-three mid-Origin Core experts left him sweating. It wasn't to the point where he was in lethal danger, but it was exhausting. With a bodily strength, qi-essence, and soul tactics that rivaled mid-Origin Core experts, Shin Xuanji felt the pressure pile.
He suffered his first injury. A light laceration on his left arm caused by a thrown dagger. Their tactics were intermixed with short, mid, and long-range attacks. They would put unrelenting pressure in close combat and long-range soul strikes.
”Then...the ninth level is late or peak-Origin Core experts?” Shin Xuanji realized the danger in this trial. It didn't test understanding in laws but comprehension into arts! Martial arts, qi arts, and soul arts. If you lacked any of them and placed in a situation you couldn't adapt to, you'll lose your life.
To sharpen the blade by removing all impurities. To sharpen the person by removing all weaknesses.
”Is this what it means to be a powerful cultivator?” The eight-level emerged, revealing peak mid-Origin Core experts. With a thunderous roar, Shin Xuanji waved his sword to produce an oceanic wave of black blood.
It crushed towards the thirty-three, but besides a few, the others dodged. They proceeded to engage Shin Xuanju in all forms of combat. He suffered a large injury to the abdomen, a lance penetrated his stomach ruthlessly. If it wasn't for his control of blood laws and strong body, he could've died. His soul was also battered by the constant bombardment of soul arts.
Shin Xuanji now understood an indisputable fact - without profound arts trained to their peaks, you'll always be at a disadvantage. This very lesson was why Yan Zaizen dedicated himself to arts for so many years. They were the foundation of any and all paths.
His arts simply weren't trained enough. He had a profound law cultivation, but in terms of utilization of that law, he hasn't reached a high enough level. He simply was too young.
A foundation isn't just based on comprehension of the heavens or cultivation bases, but the application of those two things. This required time and effort, many geniuses may be able to have high realms or comprehension in laws, but they still lose to old monsters of equal cultivation. Why?
Arts and experience.
The ninth level started. Each armored expert radiated vast killing intent and cultivation prowess. They held their weapons with intense glares through their helmets. With a spark, they took action, not caring about Shin Xuanji exhaustion or precarious situation. They ferociously attacked, each aiming for a vital point or an area that would induce further weakness if struck.
Shin Xuanji raised his black blade, his hazy gaze looked at the incoming enemies, but all he could see was his wife and daughter. His cultivation base erupted and he took a step forward. With a single blade, he intended to carve out a better life for himself and his family.
He had to, he must.
