Otherworldly Desert Dust-Chapter 374 - 329: I am His Sword
Massive as a mountain rock, the skeleton moved swiftly through the air, each attack from the Demon God Remains stirring up a torrent of bone sand, which now enveloped the Martial God Statue, slowing its movement.
Seizing this opportunity, Wu Hen swung his blade in a horizontal slash, the edge landing on a prior crack of the Martial God Statue.
The already cracked section was more susceptible to splitting, and as the blade sank into the stone fissure, it cleaved a larger gap in the chest and abdomen area, nearly severing the massive Martial God Statue at the waist.
Seeing that the force was still insufficient, Wu Hen further stimulated the Holy Infant within him and infused all his Holy Breath into his weapon, layering the blade of the Demon Sword Concubine with a golden aura.
With the enhancement of the golden aura, the power of the Demon Blade grew more domineering, and the blade, formed from dazzling Star Light, finally cleaved the entire Martial God Statue in two, tipping it sideways.
Sword Trace overlapped with the blade’s trace, and the cracks spread to the chest and pelvis, the upper body of the Martial God Statue toppled backwards, while the lower body wobbled and detached.
"Boom!!!!"
The Martial God Statue collapsed, having been chopped into two pieces.
Such an unbelievable scene unfolded in Wudou, which to many commoners still on the lower levels seemed no different from the sky collapsing.
The warriors of the Wuting, the Martial Warriors, also widened their eyes, already lacking in fighting spirit, and upon seeing the statue cut down, they lost their will to fight entirely, like a cluster of wood ants nesting under a great tree.
"You dare to act so recklessly, thinking this continent is yours to do as you please!" Jiang Qi’s neck turned bright red with fury.
The fall of his statue also symbolized the overturning of his divine authority!
On this True Martial Super Continent, no one could challenge the dignity of the Martial God, and the only outcome was death without a burial place!
He swung his War Hammer, erupting with a turbulent expanse of Qi Ming, turning like a churning ocean.
Wu Hen, seeing his opponent had brought out his signature skill, decisively retreated behind the Demon God Relic.
The Demon God Relic raised its body, assaulting Jiang Qi with its giant claws, but Jiang Qi moved so swiftly that the movements of the Demon God Relic seemed utterly clumsy.
Jiang Qi quickly passed through the claws, landing on the back of a claw.
With one hand wielding the hammer, he struck out a flurry of Death Fireworks, a ring of Death Hammer Waves spreading in midair, like a scorching sun’s halo!
The massive claw bone shattered at the wrist, its claw fingers dropping to the ground, piercing the Wuting soil, and also crashing into the palace, shattering it to pieces.
After shattering one claw, Jiang Qi continued along the Demon God Remains’ claw arm, stepping swiftly toward its mountainous body. With each swing of his War Hammer, he unleashed countless Divine Powers, turning the solid Blood Jade Bone Arm into dust, section by section!
The might of the Martial God was fully displayed at this moment, as he dismantly the Demon God Remains.
He reached the spine of the Demon God Remains, raised his War Hammer above his head with both hands, and then unleashed the most terrifying wave of Martial God Qi Ming. Suddenly, above the Sky Dome, countless hammer-shaped bolts of thunder densely packed, striking in unison upon Jiang Qi’s mighty swing of the hammer, booming down on the mountainous spine of the Demon God Remains!
The grand back began to collapse, heavily pressing into the thousands of palaces of Wuting, turning the beautiful palaces into ruins and endless huge bones embedded into the earth...
Bones littered the ground, like a rugged stone forest. Although some parts of the Demon God were still active, it was impossible to reassemble them into the formidable presence of a Bone Emperor.
The remains of the Demon God were crushed, leaving only a skull intact.
That skull was built into a tall pavilion, still suspended in a higher location within Wuting. Atop this skull pavilion, Ruan Muhuan, draped in starlight, was enveloped in a layer of icy blue Qi Ming. This Qi Ming was different from before, swirling vortex-like into her meridian acupoints centered on Ruan Muhuan...
Ruan Muhuan had never opened her eyes.
She had to trust Wu Hen unconditionally, she blocked her Perception, indifferent to whether Martial God Jiang Qi was already suspending the War Hammer over her head. What she needed to do was complete this last consolidation in the Martial God Realm, allowing her Qi Ming to be released and retracted at will, refining her Qi Ming into an endless Ocean.
Time ticked away.
The last strands of Qi Ming flowed into her forehead’s Qi Acupoint, and in an instant, it seemed as if all the acupoints in her body were connected, numerous seas of True Qi, previously like lonely dead seas isolated by deserts, now all barriers of deserts disappeared, the Qi Seas connected, forming an even vaster boundless Ocean!
Initially, Martial Artists must open their Qi Acupoints, allowing Qi to flow like silk through every inch of the body.
Then, they must expand their True Qi, filling it in their bodies like rivers.
Once sufficient, they tried to externally release the True Qi, which would surpass armor and weapons in strength.
True Qi external release marked the realm of Martial Saint, but beyond Martial Saint was Martial Monarch.
Martial Monarch involves turning every Qi Acupoint into a Qi Sea within the body, and when all acupoints resembled a sea of True Qi, it reached the realm of Ninth Level Martial Monarch...
And to break through to Martial God, two transformations were necessary.
First, the True Qi must transform, turning into Qi Ming.
Second, all seas of Qi Acupoints must fuse and connect, forming a vast sea of Qi Ming.
Previously, when Ruan Muhuan fought against Jiang Qi, she indeed could also harm Martial God Jiang Qi with her own Qi Ming, but her body had not formed the Qi Ming Ocean, merely deploying two forces of Qi Ming, she could not replenish her True Qi.
And Jiang Qi’s Qi Ming was unending, probably capable of fighting for seven days and nights without depleting, she could never defeat him.
Now it was different.
Ruan Muhuan had also connected all the Qi Seas within the Qi Acupoints, forming the vast Ocean, completing the final step of ascending to Martial God.
It was like climbing a peak, no matter how many steps you were short of the summit, the towering peak in front of you would block your sight, obscuring the path ahead and leaving you unaware of how high the heavens were, even if only one step was left, without reaching the top, the full view was always unclear.
Now, she took the final step, standing atop Martial Artist Mountain, with the Sky Dome within reach, the earth fully visible, towering mountains beneath her feet, myriad rivers forming the most picturesque scenery, no more obstructions in sight, her chest feeling as if it broadened in an instant...
The path of Martial Arts often encounters stagnation in the flow of Qi, but once one reaches the pinnacle, all blockages clear, as if the body itself is an overlooking mountain and river, every aspect clear at heart.
Rain, wind!
They swirl around oneself, transforming into loyal spiritual factors, harvesting the Spirit of Heaven and Earth, continuously infusing it into one’s body.
Clouds, moon!
They crown oneself, and when all living beings and creatures look at oneself again, they must gaze up and hold reverence in their hearts!
Slowly, Ruan Muhuan opened her eyes.
Her gaze captured the entirety of Wudou, quickly focusing on two men, one wielding the Divine Hammer and the other holding the Demon Blade.
The man with the Divine Hammer dominated, his Martial God prowess fully unleashed, every attack causing the heavens and earth to tremble.
The man with the Demon Blade kept retreating, but every time he nearly reached her position, he would brandish the blade against the Martial God Jiang Qi, fighting back with blows and close combat to maintain a safe zone. Your next chapter is on novelbuddy
It was evident that even with the Demon Blade, his condition was waning in the face of Martial God Jiang Qi.
After blocking her Perception, Ruan Muhuan lost track of how much time had passed.
Nor did she know for how long the man with the blade fought desperately.
But as long as he was still alive, it was not too late!
Ruan Muhuan stood up, drawing the Jade Sword from her waist…
…
Wu Hen’s palm began to numb, his grip on Demon Sword Concubine was covered in blood.
Although Jiang Qi had a robust Cultivation, and Wu Hen had gained some advantages earlier, Jiang Qi’s strength became more apparent as the battle continued.
"This Holy Infant... why won’t it break through? If only the Holy Infant could ascend to Holy Child, combined with my Fifth Rank Physique and wielding Demon Sword Concubine, I could certainly suppress this cur Jiang Qi!" Wu Hen was infuriated.
Holy Cultivation has its closures, only accessible with a Spirit Key, unlike Martial Cultivation.
Wu Hen also felt his internal Qi was insufficient. Compared to the vast Qi Ming Sea of others, even a gigantic Holy Infant could suffocate.
"As you face death, are you still trying to hide?" Jiang Qi, holding the War Hammer, his bodily aura boiling, projecting a golden cast as if cast in gilt!
Wu Hen shook his numb arm.
This Jiang Qi was treacherously cunning but at least not brainless.
He knew Wu Hen had not been fighting at full strength.
"You, Jiang Qi, never caught my attention," Wu Hen pointed at him, a cold smile on his lips.

"Ha ha ha ha." Jiang Qi laughed loudly, his War Hammer sparking with myriad thunderbolts as he strided towards Wu Hen, "Where is your sword, why not use it?"
That night, Jiang Qi had activated the Martial God Statue to pursue the thief, clearly remembering that his opponent used a mysterious sword then!
The Demon Sword Concubine had just been stolen.
His real weapon was a sword.
Jiang Qi was now intent on forcing Wu Hen to draw his sword!
The Demon Sword Concubine in Wu Hen’s hand no longer glowed; not that the blade wasn’t strong, but it had just escaped from its Sealing, hadn’t absorbed any essence of Heaven and Earth, nor been honed, thus suppression was expected.
Wu Hen sheathed the Demon Sword Concubine.
He stood there, eyes fixed on Jiang Qi, motionless.
"Will you not draw your sword?"
"Then die!!"
Jiang Qi, feeling the contempt in Wu Hen’s eyes, now close, roared angrily, lifting his War Hammer to strike Wu Hen into a pulp.
The Death Hammer was inches away, and yet the opponent still had not drawn his sword, fueling Jiang Qi’s rage as he burst forth with absolute power towards this man.
Just as the heavy hammer aimed for Wu Hen’s head, a cold light flashed, striking at Jiang Qi’s wrist.
Jiang Qi, shocked, knew continuing would sever his wrist by the cold light.
He hurriedly retrieved his move, but it was slightly too slow; his arm was slashed by the cold light, and blood began to seep from the inside of his arm!
Jiang Qi quickly retreated, shielding his wound with True Qi to prevent the blood from spurting.
After stopping the blood flow, he raised his eyes again, just marveling at the possibility of another master behind his opponent when Jiang Qi witnessed a scene that made him tremble with rage!
Behind the man stood an icy jade-like woman, seemingly delicate yet behind her was a vast and majestic Sea of Qi, her powerful Qi making this already gorgeous woman appear transcendent, like a Heavenly Maiden descended to Earth!
"I am his sword!"
The Valkyrie stepped out from behind Wu Hen, brandishing her weapon towards Jiang Qi and uttered these words!
