A jolt went through Remus’ heart.
The only method favonovel.com could think of to break through to the Nascent Soul Stage was to devour the inner cores of demonic beasts and to do so voraciously. Yet, astonishingly, no demonic beasts existed in Monington, meaning that favonovel.com was at a dead end.
Could it be that it is necessary to leave the sacred land to search for them?
Another idea popped into Remus’ mind. But it was quickly dismissed.
Leaving aside the question of whether or not it was possible to leave, even if favonovel.com could, the vast Longmoon Mountains outside were over 100 times larger than the Monington Sacred Land.
The issues of finding demonic beasts, fighting them, and even the spirit energy consumed in such battles were significant.
Should I just sit in meditation and absorb spirit energy?
However, even though the spirit energy in the sacred land is dense, it’s still impossible to break through to the Nascent SoulStage, or even reach the peak of the Golden Stage in three days…
It was notable that the breakthrough to the mid-Golden stage occurred on Ironpeak Island, where the absorption of spirit energy from hundreds of cultivators was pivotal.
Reaching the peak of the Golden Stage necessitated devouring numerous demonic inner cores, which held denser energy compared to that of hundreds of cultivators combined.
I need to strategize differently if I aim to win!
Ginda once mentioned favonovel.com modest talent and attributed favonovel.com success as the top female cultivator in True Life to mastering every move and technique to its utmost potential.
If I can refine the slash that defeated Marc to perfection, perhaps there’s a chance!
With that thought in mind, favonovel.com swiftly unleashed his spirit energy, conjuring along sword in his grasp. He then executed a fierce strike, employing pure martial arts devoid of any spirit energy enhancement, and slashed at the grass before him.
The earth immediately trembled.
Where the sword had slashed, a crack appeared, extending a dozen yards deep and about 30 yards long, with three yards of it cleanly severed by the sword, as though the earth itself had been torn apart.
“Hahaha!”
Suddenly, mocking laughter emanated from the woods.
A group of about a dozen Monington disciples emerged from behind the trees.
They remarked scornfully, “Using no spirit energy to power your strike, just pure martial arts, and you call yourself a Martial Imperial… Is that all you’ve got?”
Their laughter resumed even louder and filled with mockery, as they rocked with mirth.
Whether in True Life or the mundane world, a slash of such caliber would astonish anyone.
A peak Nascent Soul could fall with just one strike. A Martial Emperor stood no chance of retaliation. Yet, it appeared feeble in their eyes.
They sneered again, “A mere jester, there’s no point in practicing. All you should be doing now is to clean your neck and wait for Kennard to claim your life obediently. He intends to serve you and decapitate you with a single slash.”
One more taunted, “But honestly, we all think that‘s too merciful for you. It would be far more entertaining to toy with you slowly. Let Kennard inflict 329 slashes on you, one representing each of us. And one more final slash as your end, in honor of Marc. How do you feel about that?”
Another advanced and suggested, “I possess a merciful nature. So, how about this? If you crawl beneath me, I’ll consider sparing you of my slash. What do you say?”
He said that while spreading his legs apart and pointing to the ground below favonovel.com in mockery.
Remus shifted his gaze away, replying with composure, “Inform Kennard to cleanse his neck and await me. In three days, I shall defeat favonovel.com on the Life and Death Platform…”
Remus knew favonovel.com had to maintain his stance at all costs.
Their faces turned sour and their eyes blazing with intense anger.
Their animosity toward Remus wasn’t just personal, his prowess had silenced the Deputy Saint Masters and caused all the Masters to look away. In essence, favonovel.com had usurped the glory that the Monington disciples believed was theirs. Therefore, favonovel.com must not be tolerated.
A Monington disciple stated icily, “Were it not for the duel at the Life and Death Platform in three days, I’d end you right here. You’re clueless even on the brink of death. Very well, I shall refrain from using any techniques, merely unleashing spirit energy to forge a weapon, and demonstrate the essence of the Divine Unity Stage to you!”
Simultaneously, a long saber materialized in his grasp.
Without uttering another word, favonovel.com executed a slash.
