Xiang Shaoyun's long black hairs started whipping about as his eyes shone like a pair of bright suns. He had an unrivaled bearing about him, making him look like the son of a G.o.d. A faint aura rippled out of him, allowing him to completely ignore the gravity field.
He then vanished, as if he had transformed into a gust of wind, and instantly reappeared at the bewildering sh.e.l.l devil's flank. A radiant saber energy shot out of the Overlord Skyslaying Saber, accurately striking a tiny opening on the bewildering sh.e.l.l devil's sh.e.l.l, slicing it apart and killing it.
This was a Devil Emperor whose superiority was defense. Yet a seventh-stage Skysoar Realm cultivator had killed this very beast with one hit. n.o.body would believe this without personally witnessing it.
Of course, if Xiang Shaoyun had to fight the bewildering sh.e.l.l devil head on, he would have to spare no small amount of effort to kill it. But with his gift of instincts, he had long found the bewildering sh.e.l.l devil's weakness. The devil was protected by layers of sh.e.l.l, but there were tiny openings in the layers, and these were weak points as well.
That was how he had been able to accomplish an astonis.h.i.+ng feat of killing it with one hit. Killing this bewildering sh.e.l.l devil emperor had granted him 20,000 contribution points. That wasn't surprising, as the stronger the devil one killed, the more contribution points one could gain. Since Xiang Shaoyun was already a genuine War Emperor, it was possible he could really acc.u.mulate enough contribution points in half a year.
After killing the bewildering sh.e.l.l devil emperor, he dragged its corpse into the Nether Soul Domain to feed the ghostrunes. Currently, the ghostrune patriarch was already a third-stage Devil Emperor. He had grown rapidly after consuming the blood and devil core of the devil wind beast patriarch.
With the growth of the ghostrunes, Xiang Shaoyun was starting his plan to transform them into a powerful army. The large supply of devils here in the Devil Domain would serve as fodder for this army of ghostrunes.
Xiang Shaoyun was in no rush to go anywhere. Before this, he had only been rus.h.i.+ng so he could find a chance to expose and deal with Huo Xudong. Now that he was alone, he could focus on cultivating some battle techniques to further increase his combat prowess.
After all, as he grew in strength, some of his battle techniques were no longer suited for his current cultivation level, such as Star Destroying Finger, Gold Helix Fist, and the other low-level techniques. Using them would only greatly affect his offensive prowess.
After obtaining the yin devil wind, his power of wind had grown greatly. Thus, now would be the time to cultivate a wind elemental battle technique. He already had one newly created technique, Wind and Lightning. This was a battle technique utilizing both the powers of wind and lightning, something he created by accident in his thoughtless state. It possessed the strength to be his trump card.
However, that one technique was not enough for him. Trump cards would generally exhaust a large amount of energy upon usage. Furthermore, a trump card was definitely something extremely powerful and would be a great choice against an opponent one needed to kill, but it was too powerful to be used in a normal spar.
Xiang Shaoyun searched his brain for the numerous battle techniques he had memorized, and he soon stopped at a tier-5 technique called Hurricane Kick. This was an emperor-grade technique, and although it was cla.s.sified as a lower tier-5 technique, it was enough for now. After all, the Ziling Sect did not have too many of these unique battle techniques collected. Of the ones he knew, this one was most suitable for him currently.
After reaching a certain degree of mastery over the Hurricane Kick, one would be able to unleash a hurricane with each kick. The stronger one was, the stronger the hurricane would be. If an Emperor used this technique, the created hurricane would be powerful enough to easily destroy several mountains at once.
Of course, destructiveness was not the greatest advantage of Hurricane Kick. Its main advantage was its efficiency in group battles. By unleas.h.i.+ng hurricanes during a group battle, one could throw the battlefield into chaos and find an opening to kill one's enemies amid the chaos.
Having made up his mind, Xiang Shaoyun started studying the technique's essence and key points. He had always been one with great comprehension ability, and after his Nether Soul Domain turned corporeal, his soul power had also grown greatly, granting him comprehension comparable to a top-tier Emperor.
