A single sword thrust, akin to a rainbow piercing the sky or a divine thunderbolt descending—swift and magnificent.
The sky was filled with the shadows of swords, invisible sword energy shot out in all directions, elusive and pure, as if ethereal figures were flashing by.
Lu Yunxiao wielded the Rainbow Sword, thrusting it forth. The brilliance of the sword was radiant, akin to the descent of a fallen celestial.
It was a beautifully executed strike, yet it harbored a deadly intent within its beauty.
"Swish!" With a light sound, a sword energy pierced through the head of the Flame-Tailed Sand Snake, tearing its serpentine body into two halves.
Even though split into two, the snake's separated segments were still active, writhing on the sandy ground. Fresh red blood flowed from the severed parts.
Lu Yunxiao gently Landed, holding the Rainbow Sword, a faint excitement flickering in his eyes.
Using the "Heavenly Flying Immortal" technique for the first time, the power it displayed was truly eye-catching.
Being an advanced Xuan Stage skill, the might of the "Heavenly Flying Immortal" surpassed the "Profound Tidal Fist" by no small margin. No wonder the system claimed that mastering it to its peak could rival Di Stage skills.
Though somewhat exaggerated, the prowess of the "Heavenly Flying Immortal" was unquestionable. Even if it fell short of a DI Stage skill, it likely wouldn't be too far behind.
Taking out a piece of cloth from his storage ring, Lu Yunxiao meticulously wiped the Rainbow Sword.
Though generally, the Rainbow Sword wouldn't stain with blood, the Flame-Tailed Sand Snake's venom possessed strong corrosive properties. To protect the Rainbow Sword, a little extra care was necessary.
After wiping it clean, the Rainbow Sword returned to its sheath. Lu Yunxiao shifted his gaze, observing the remains of the Flame-Tailed Sand Snake, which were still twitching. Indeed, the vitality of serpentine beasts was remarkably resilient.
However, Lu Yunxiao wasn't in a hurry. With the snake's head split in two and its body torn apart, it couldn't get any deader.
After about two hours, the movements of the Flame-Tailed Sand Snake finally ceased. Lu Yunxiao retrieved a stainless-steel sword and began dissecting it.
Naturally, the Rainbow Sword couldn't be used for such tasks, but the presence of the stainless-steel sword was just right.
Cutting open the snake's body, searching meticulously, Lu Yunxiao finally found a magic core larger than a pigeon egg among the remains.
The core was yellow, tinged with a hint of fiery red, translucent, glossy, and smooth on the surface. Holding it, one could sense the vigorous energy contained within.
"Not bad. Much better quality than the cores I previously obtained."
Lu Yunxiao praised as he stowed away the magic core in his storage ring.
This battle with the Flame-Tailed Sand Snake had measured his strength. Excluding the ' One Sword Across Worlds', possessing the "Heavenly Flying Immortal" he was likely unbeatable within the realm of Dou Zhe.
Even an average Nine-Star Dou Zhe, he had the confidence to defeat them.
His cultivation as a Four-Star Dou Zhe, his exceptionally robust foundation, the exceptionally strong innate Gold Qi, outstanding combat skills, along with his sharp Rainbow Sword—these were enough to make him a dominant force among Dou Zhe's.
"Not bad. Still, not enough. What I seek is true peerlessness at the same level."
Lu Yunxiao's gaze flickered, murmuring lightly, retrieving the moonstone he had thrown earlier, and then, carrying the Rainbow Sword, he walked towards the previous campfire spot.
...
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, two months had passed. Lu Yunxiao's journey of experience was drawing to a close.
Standing atop a high sand dune, Lu Yunxiao stood tall, his eyes slightly open, observing a distant beast. His eyes flashed with determination.
In two months, Lu Yunxiao not only made great progress in combat techniques but also raised his cultivation by two stars. He was now a genuine Six-Star Dou Zhe.
Although generally speaking, the advancement in the Dou Zhe stage was much faster than in the Dou Qi Zhi Stage, raising two stars in two months was still remarkably swift.
Undoubtedly, compared to Lu Yunxiao two months ago, he had become much stronger now.
Today, his target was a Second-Level Beast, marking the end of his journey.
Now, Lu Yunxiao had set his sights on a Second-Level Sand Blight Spider.
The Sand Blight Spider, also a colony-based soul beast, hunting this kind of beast might attract attacks from other Sand Blight Spiders. However, Lu Yunxiao wasn't afraid. A few dozen First-Level Sand Blight Spiders wouldn't pose much trouble, and in his view, the Sand Blight Spider in front seemed to be alone.
"Now's the time!" Lu Yunxiao exclaimed lowly, darting forward, brandishing the Rainbow Sword, and unleashing sharp sword energies.
"Clang!" The sword energies struck the Second-Level Sand Blight Spider, emitting crisp sounds.
Reacting to the attack, the Sand Blight Spider's black eyes flared with anger. Its eight soil-colored legs lashed out toward Lu Yunxiao.
Lu Yunxiao dodged, swinging the Rainbow Sword, clashing with the spider's legs. Sparks flew.
A surge of force pushed Lu Yunxiao back a few steps, and the Second-Level Sand Blight Spider was also pushed back slightly.
This only fueled the Sand Blight Spider's fury. It opened its ferocious mouth, launching a brown spiderweb.
Lu Yunxiao swiftly maneuvered, using the Rainbow Sword to tear the spiderweb apart, infused with the sharp Qi of the innate Gold, finally shredding the web.
Relieved, Lu Yunxiao looked back at the Second-Level Sand Blight Spider, only to see it bending its eight long legs before suddenly springing into the air, soaring towards him. Its massive three-meter body swooped down, its long legs swinging ominously.
Lu Yunxiao evaded, but seeing the spider's aggressive stance, his expression turned serious. This skirmish made it clear that indeed, the strength of a Second-Level Beast was beyond comparison with a First-Level one.
However, it didn't surpass his expectations.
The Rainbow Sword swung, and Lu Yunxiao's wrist moved rapidly, unleashing a series of sharp sword energies.
The Sand Blight Spider parried with its legs, countering each strike.
Lu Yunxiao's figure shifted, charging straight toward the Sand Blight Spider. The Rainbow Sword glittered with dazzling cold light.
"Clang!"
"Clang!"
"Clang!"
The longsword and spider legs clashed repeatedly, scattering sparks.
Lu Yunxiao's gaze narrowed. The Rainbow Sword glowed with golden light as he fiercely swung it.
A single sword thrust, akin to a rainbow piercing the sky or a divine thunderbolt descending—swift and magnificent.
