Immortal Starry Sky-Chapter 126 - 122 The Great Will
Chapter 126: Chapter 122 The Great Will
Wang Xu happily put away this Energy Core. An Energy Core is worth 3000 Cosmic Crystals. A few more kills, and he can continue progressing toward the Heaven-Reaching Pavilion.
"Wang... Brother Wang, you this..." Di Fu took a while to react.
He had already guessed that Wang Xu was extraordinary, possibly exceeding the Initial Void Level in strength, but he only guessed that Wang Xu could be comparable to the Upper Void Level. Who would have thought Wang Xu’s displayed power far exceeded his imagination, killing a Star Giant Beast with a single strike!
This was an Upper Star Giant Beast, even an Extreme Rank Void Level Cosmic Martial Artist couldn’t kill it in one hit, how did he do it?
"Sorry, I really need the Energy Core. You don’t mind, right?" Wang Xu smiled.
An Energy Core is worth 3000 Cosmic Crystals, and since he took down the Star Giant Beast himself, Wang Xu wouldn’t be generous enough to give it away when he was just short of money.
"Of course not." Di Fu quickly waved his hand, waking up from the shock. In his mind, Wang Xu’s image was only a hair’s breadth away from a Black Hole Level figure.
To kill an Upper Void Level in one strike, other than an Extreme Rank Void Level with powerful War Soldiers, only a Black Hole Level figure could do it!
"Let’s go back and kill those three Jade Scorching Red Hounds." Wang Xu said.
Originally, he planned to hide his strength and blend in with the team, to learn more about the cosmos, but when he found himself unnecessary in the team, he simply decided to reveal his strength. freeweɓnovel~cѳm
With his strength exposed, Wang Xu naturally became less restrained, waving his hand and deciding to return to kill those three Jade Scorching Red Hounds.
Of course, it was impossible for Wang Xu to absorb the corpse of the Star Giant Beast. With someone nearby, Wang Xu would never reveal the existence of the Mysterious Flame, which was his biggest trump card. Relying on it, Wang Xu had come this far. If someone found out, it would bring disaster upon him.
"Alright! We’ll go with Brother Wang’s plan." Di Fu was the first to respond, having witnessed Wang Xu’s strength. With his ability, dealing with three Jade Scorching Red Hounds was no problem.
The four did not say any more. They already understood that they were nothing but rookies in front of Wang Xu.
"No wonder he dared to be so arrogant, he was pretending to be weak!" Kuwen said in a low voice.
Soon after, they hurried back and encountered the three Jade Scorching Red Hounds head-on.
Roar!
The three Jade Scorching Red Hounds let out a deep roar at the same time, then started sprinting quickly, fire underneath their feet, from a distance appearing like three flames dancing on the ground.
"You guys hold one of them back, I’ll take care of the other two!" Wang Xu commanded, and his figure suddenly transformed into a stream of light and flew out.
The others didn’t blame him for overstepping his authority. The strong always have the right to speak. Wang Xu’s strength was worth obeying his commands!
Di Fu, with a body like an iron tower, faced head-on one of the Jade Scorching Red Hounds, his flesh and power strong enough to firmly hold the Jade Scorching Red Hound, making it unable to escape.
The four team members chose their attack positions in unison, and blades and sword shadows swept over the sky and earth.
Compared to the Red Flame Squad, Wang Xu was much more restrained. He didn’t immediately kill the Jade Scorching Red Hound. With his strength, he could settle the fight with one move, but Wang Xu didn’t want the victory to be too easy.
Therefore, Wang Xu abandoned his Formless Giant Power, discarded the White Jade Long Saber, and picked up the Star Spiritual Treasure Flaming Long Saber he used before, engaging with the Jade Scorching Red Hound.
"Life Slaughter!" Against the Jade Scorching Red Hound, Wang Xu only used the Will of Heaven and Earth, as he now needed to comprehend the Great Will, but he had no opportunity.
The Great Will isn’t something that can be grasped by immersing oneself every day in the Will Cultivation Field. It requires real combat, experiencing the extremities of battle to gain the insight of the Great Will.
Celestial Spirit once said that it was already incredible for Wang Xu to comprehend the Will of Heaven and Earth when he was a Star Level.
Even a Small Will requires a Void Level person to experience hundreds or even thousands of years of battles to truly comprehend it.
In other words, Wang Xu’s comprehension talent is very high, even higher than that of typical Cosmic Martial Artists.
This was something Wang Xu had already demonstrated back on Earth.
While others were still troubled by the First Layer of the "Basic Flesh Body," Wang Xu had already reached the Third Layer. When others struggled painfully at the Fourth Layer, Wang Xu had already condensed an Energy Core within him... Having just become Tier Four, Wang Xu had already comprehended the Spirit Level Body Technique, joined the Black Eye Battle Group’s entry trial, and successfully comprehended the Heart Level Body Technique. Now, his Body Technique was only one step away from the Will Level. Once he truly reached the Will Level, Wang Xu’s strength would surge to another level.
All of this proves the high level of Wang Xu’s comprehension talent, far above others.
But in terms of Heaven and Earth Will, Wang Xu was slightly lacking.
Sword Intent of Life Slaughter was something he comprehended from immersing daily in others’ Sword Intent at the Martial Stele in the Will Cultivation Field, even though it was his own comprehension, it always bore the shadows of others.
The Great Will is different, being the root of the world, the thought of the cosmos, and exploring the Great Will with dependence on anyone is useless; one can only walk their own path.
"What exactly is the Great Will?" Wang Xu skillfully evaded the attacks of the Jade Scorching Red Hound, pondering in his heart.
He had asked Celestial Spirit this question, and Celestial Spirit also said they didn’t know.
The Cosmic Martial Artists in the Red Flame Squad hadn’t grasped even Small Will, let alone the ethereal Great Will.
Wang Xu pondered for a long time, only snapping out of his contemplation when the Red Flame Squad had finished off the one Jade Scorching Red Hound and came to assist Wang Xu.
"Forget it... there’s no clue about the Great Will, let’s put it aside for now." Following this, Wang Xu showed no mercy anymore, the flaming long saber sweeping up, even though it was a Star Spiritual Treasure, in Wang Xu’s hands it exhibited extraordinary power.
"Hmm?" Wang Xu slashed open the body of the Jade Scorching Red Hound, a hideous wound spurting blood, and he seemed to perceive something.
Life Slaughter, is Sword Intent.
No matter the blade, Sword Intent can be applied.
He broke through the Jade Scorching Red Hound’s defense with Sword Intent, but what if there was no blade?
Celestial Spirit once said that Small Will focuses on a single War Soldier, but the Great Will has no limitations. Whether it be a sword, a staff, or even a blade of grass, the Great Will can be used.
With that thought, Wang Xu directly addressed Kuwen: "Lend me your longsword for a moment!"
Kuwen was taken aback, unsure of Wang Xu’s intention, but in his mind, Wang Xu is a true strong one. Since a strong one is asking to borrow a weapon, Kuwen had no objections and threw the longsword directly to Wang Xu.
"Life Slaughter!" With the longsword in hand, Wang Xu struck out, yet found no augmentation from the Will of Heaven and Earth.
With a twist of his wrist, Wang Xu charged again, fiercely engaging the two Jade Scorching Red Hounds.
Di Fu, seeing this, gestured to the others to halt.
"Captain, what’s going on with him?" Kuwen asked.
"I don’t know, but judging by his state, he seems to have gained some insight." Di Fu said, "If I’m not mistaken, he should be comprehending the Will of Heaven and Earth."
The four looked at each other, the Will of Heaven and Earth is something too ethereal and elusive, none of them have comprehended it to this day.
"Let Brother Wang fight here alone, we should temporarily leave and not disturb him." Di Fu said, leading the others away.
......
"Why is the Sword Intent so different from Sword Intent?" Wang Xu was exploring, questioning himself inwardly.
He utilized the Sword Intent of Life Slaughter to deduce the Sword Intent, but found that Sword could smoothly employ the Will of Heaven and Earth, while Sword could not.
"A sword, a stab, a flick, a sweep, a rise... ever-changing, more flexible and fierce than a sword." Wang Xu was immersed in the world of the sword, "A sword is not a blade, it cannot employ the Sword Intent... so what if I treat the sword as a blade?"
Boom!
The final sentence suddenly opened up Wang Xu’s mind.
Indeed, blades and swords are different, unable to harmonize, but tracing back to their source, they are ultimately all weapons, if the distinction between sword and blade is ignored, using the same intent, wouldn’t that be the Great Will?
With this in mind, Wang Xu immediately closed his eyes, his mind sinking down sharply. In his hand, "sword" became an absence, regardless of what he held, at this moment it was all a blade!
Whoosh!
A dark glow appeared at the tip of the sword, flickering uncertainly, but as Wang Xu continuously stabbed, swept, flicked, and hacked, the glow became brighter.
Finally, Wang Xu suddenly opened his eyes, the longsword in his hand stabbing out, a bright glow directly piercing the Jade Scorching Red Hound.
Puff! The Jade Scorching Red Hound was in a rampage, a stream of light pierced through its forehead, it stiffened, its gaze dimmed, and then its massive body collapsed with a crash.
"Xu Bi, lend me your whip!" Wang Xu shouted toward where the others were.
Immediately, a black whip landed in Wang Xu’s hand.
Wang Xu continued to wield it.
He held neither a sword nor a whip, only a blade!
