Chapter 280: A New Skill
🕑 Added 2024-10-25 07:53:27 +0000 UTC"Why must we seal it...?"
One of the Eight-Star Martial Gods hesitated briefly, then turned to Qian Zhenmu, voicing his thoughts.
This sword's power was immense, and it even had a sword spirit within it.
As a Martial God who used swords, possessing such a powerful weapon would certainly be a great advantage for him.
A sense of urgency grew in his heart as he realized—he wanted this sword.
"This is a demonic sword!"
Qian Zhenmu snapped, his voice stern.
"Do you know why Zhang Yuanji suddenly began slaughtering our sect's people for no reason?"
"He must have been influenced by this sword!"
"And it's highly likely that an evil sword spirit is residing within this weapon!"
Hearing Qian Zhenmu’s words, the others felt a chill run through them.
Thinking back on the recent events, it made sense—Zhang Yuanji had acted extremely out of character, suddenly slaughtering their sect's Martial Gods.
And the sword itself absorbed blood!
It was clear that this sword had influenced Zhang Yuanji, driving him to kill other Martial Gods and nourish the demonic blade.
"Brother Qian, we’ll leave it to you then."
The other Martial Gods glanced at Qian Zhenmu, expressing their trust.
Qian Zhenmu was from a major sect, and they trusted his judgment.
"Rest assured, I will ensure this sword is sealed away,"
Qian Zhenmu nodded.
"Damn it!"
"Let me out!"
Ye Fan's voice roared within the sword.
As the sword continued to strike against the Primordial Shield, only minuscule cracks appeared on the barrier's surface.
At this rate, there was no telling when or how he could break free.
"Sigh..."
After some effort, Ye Fan became frustrated.
After all, he was a sword—he had plenty of time to eventually escape.
At that moment, the Primordial Shield began to shrink, along with Ye Fan trapped inside.
The shield floated into Qian Zhenmu’s palm.
After bidding farewell to the other Eight-Star Martial Gods, Qian Zhenmu departed, heading toward the so-called Demon-Sealing Tower.
"The Demon-Sealing Tower, huh..."
The Eight-Star Martial God who had coveted the sword earlier murmured as he watched Qian Zhenmu disappear from sight.
"Now that I have plenty of evolution points, I should be able to learn some new skills."
Inside the Primordial Shield, Ye Fan had a thought and immediately summoned the system panel.
Looking closely, he saw numerous skill icons appear on the panel.
The skills were arranged in three rows, with ten in each row.
Only by learning the first skill in a row could he unlock the remaining nine skills.
Additionally, the three rows of skills appeared to follow different paths.
The first skill in the first row was [Bloodthirsty Strike]: Increases the effect of Bloodthirsty Fury by 5%.
The first skill in the second row was [Amplify]: Increases all ability levels by 1.
The first skill in the third row was [Formation]: Increases the effect of Hell Cross Formation by 10%.
"I can only choose one of the first skills from these three rows."
After studying the system for a while, Ye Fan muttered to himself.
"Obviously, choosing the first skill in the second row is the most beneficial."
Without any hesitation, Ye Fan selected [Amplify] from the second row.
It cost 1 billion evolution points!
As soon as he learned the skill, the status panel immediately showed some changes:
[Host]: Ye Fan
[Sword Name]: Ye Fan (Dark & Light)
[Quality]: Divine (One-Star)
[Active Skills]:
[Phantom Dance] (Divine Two-Star): A dazzling sword dance that deals massive damage to enemies.
[Blood Explosion] (Divine Two-Star): Concentrates all blood energy to create an immensely powerful explosion. (Requires Bloodthirsty Fury to be active)
[Nether Flame Soul Slash] (Divine Two-Star): A powerful slash that releases Netherworld white flames, dealing devastating fire damage.
[Hell Cross Formation] (Divine Two-Star): Creates a powerful blood cross formation, greatly enhancing the sword master's attack and boosting the effects of Bloodthirsty Fury.
[Desolation Stance] (Divine Two-Star): Unleashes overwhelming power, killing all beings within a one-mile radius (only effective against those weaker than the user).
[True Eye] (Divine Two-Star): Reveals any living creature within a one-mile radius.
[Demon Claw] (Divine Two-Star): Summons a demonic claw from another dimension to deal significant damage to enemies.
[Martial Skill Amplification] (Divine Two-Star): Increases the power of the next martial skill by 100%.
[Life and Death Control] (Divine Two-Star): Enemies severely wounded by this sword will be killed instantly.
[Passive Skills]:
Vampiric (Divine Two-Star): Absorbs blood essence to increase sharpness and gain energy points.
Devour Master (Divine Two-Star): Upon the death of the sword master, the sword actively absorbs their blood essence and energy.
Attribute Energy (Divine Two-Star): When the sword master's energy is infused into the sword, it will carry attributes suited to the master. Current attributes: Dark and Light.
All-Attribute Amplification (Divine Two-Star): Enhances all aspects of the sword master's abilities according to their cultivation level.
Ominous Sword: Brings misfortune to the user.
Evil Aura (Divine Two-Star): The sword emits a sinister aura that suppresses nearby creatures. If the sword master's strength is too low, they will also be affected.
Soul Sever (Divine Two-Star): Attacks deal soul damage to the enemy.
Source Sever (Divine Two-Star): Attacks can sever energy flows.
Attribute Shift (Divine Two-Star): The sword will change based on the primary attributes of its master.
Shape-shifting: Transforms into a humanoid form, becoming a living weapon.
[Dark Attribute Mode]: Increases the host's attack power by 60%, with the attack strength increasing as the battle progresses.
"I’m still a One-Star Divine Sword, but now all these skills have become Two-Star Divine!"
"And both the Dark and Light attribute forms now offer a 10% greater increase in attack power or speed!"
Looking at the system panel, Ye Fan was thrilled.
The improvement was simply amazing!
"Since I’ve already learned the first skill, I can now either choose the second skill in the second row or branch out into the adjacent skills in the first or third row."
With this thought, Ye Fan instinctively clicked on the second skill icon in the row:
[Insufficient Evolution Points. 10 billion evolution points required.]
"Damn!"
Ye Fan was left speechless at the system's notification.
It required 10 billion evolution points!
"This is ridiculous!"
Ye Fan felt utterly exasperated.
"Now that I’ve learned the first skill, why am I still at Divine One-Star? How exactly do I advance to Two-Star Divine?"
Ye Fan pondered this new question.
