In a simulated life scenario, how do you defy fate and change your destiny every time?

Chapter 118 Three Lifetimes: Self-created Martial Arts, One Blade Buries the Moon!

"You are……"

"The young master of Zhenyuan Escort Agency?"

The tiger demon stared intently at the figure at the door and recognized the person's identity at a glance.

Especially when it saw the ghost-headed knife in Lu Yuan's hand, its pupils constricted and a storm of shock surged in its heart.

Back then, that thousand-year-old demonic locust tree wreaked havoc, single-handedly slaughtering hundreds of thousands of people.

Qingyun County suffered heavy casualties and hurriedly sought help from the Demon Suppression Division, gathering a large number of experts to attempt to attack Black Wind Ridge.

In the end, however, they suffered heavy losses and returned defeated.

This ghost-headed knife belonged to a master of the Demon Suppression Division, and was later bestowed upon the pig demon by the ancestor.

The pig demon was so fond of this deadly weapon that he even took it with him to bed.

Now that this knife has fallen into Lu Yuan's hands, the fate of the pig demon is self-evident.

"You killed the pig demon."

Looking at Lu Yuan's excessively youthful face, the tiger demon was already certain.

The seemingly innocent two-year-old child in front of you is the culprit behind the disappearance of the pig demon and Wu Yong!

Lu Yuan has never had the habit of talking to dead people.

He gripped Blood Butcher and raised his hand to swing it.

A fierce, blood-red blade of light instantly slashed down towards the tiger demon!
this moment.

The tiger demon's fur stood on end, like tiny steel needles, and an unprecedented sense of life-or-death crisis arose in his heart.

Although it is naturally intelligent, its cultivation time is still short.

If we only consider cultivation level, it is at the bottom of the entire Black Wind Ridge.

Moreover, even before his breakthrough, Lu Yuan was able to kill a pig demon with hundreds of years of cultivation with a single strike using the second move of the Wind and Thunder Blade Technique: Exorcising Evil.

Now that he has entered the third-grade Qi Gathering Realm and wields the Blood Butcher, his strength is more than ten times greater than before!
Facing this knife.

Let alone tiger demons, even if a few more third-rank great demons came, they would only have to wait to die!
A matter of life and death.

The tiger demon's hair stood on end, and it immediately opened its blood-red maw, spitting out a gray bead.

The bead was only the size of a pigeon egg, crystal clear like jade, floating in the void, emitting a hazy, bewitching light, and eventually forming a bowl-shaped barrier that enveloped the tiger demon.

Upon seeing the gray bead, a hint of jealousy flashed in the eyes of the other powerful demons.

This treasure is called the Soul-Devouring Pearl. It was refined by our ancestor using his own life essence and the souls of hundreds of martial arts cultivators.

Once activated, it can attack the enemy's soul, and even devour the enemy's living soul for its own use.

When encountering a formidable enemy.

It can also form an indestructible barrier, enough to withstand the attacks of any Qi Gathering Realm martial artist, and even a fourth-grade Transcendent Realm expert cannot break through it for a while!

"boom!"

The crimson blade light, imbued with the power of wind and thunder, slammed heavily into the surface of the barrier.

The barrier was as thin as a cicada's wing, seemingly as fragile as paper, but in reality, it was unbreakable.

Even the invincible Blood Slaughter Slash could only leave a white mark on it.

Seeing that Lu Yuan's attack was thwarted, the tiger demon finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But the other powerful demons grumbled in dissatisfaction.

"Our ancestor was far too biased, bestowing such a precious treasure upon the tiger demon."

They have followed their ancestors through countless life-and-death struggles over the years, and have made countless contributions to Black Wind Ridge, which is why they have achieved their current strength and status.

But what merits does this tiger demon possess that it deserves such high regard from the ancestor?
Thinking about this.

These powerful demons felt increasingly resentful.

Seeing the tiger demon in danger, everyone stood by and watched coldly, without any intention of helping.

Seeing this, the tiger demon was even more furious, wishing he could tear these great demons apart alive.

These idiots have lived for hundreds of years and don't even understand the principle of "if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold"?

Once Lu Yuan breaks through the Soul Devouring Pearl's defenses, given his ruthless and merciless nature, how could he possibly let the other great demons go?

Lu Yuan was slightly surprised that his attack was thwarted.

Although he did not use his full strength just now, the sharpness of the Blood Slaughter Blade was enough to easily kill any third-grade great demon.

However, the fact that this gray bead could withstand Blood Butcher's attack clearly indicates that it is also a treasure.

Lu Yuan stared intently at the gray bead, and a wealth of detailed information immediately surfaced in his mind.

[Item: Soul Devouring Bead]

[Grade: Xuan Grade]

[Description: This bead is both offensive and defensive. Its greatest use lies in its ability to devour the souls of enemies, thereby enhancing one's own spiritual strength.]

However, this bead is of too low a grade to remove impurities from the enemy's soul. Prolonged use will leave one's own soul tainted and easily lead to demonic possession!

[Hint: Spend 50,000 Sky-Mending Points to upgrade it to a Soul-Purifying Pearl!]

See this tip.

Lu Yuan's gaze narrowed slightly, and he felt more and more that this Soul-Devouring Pearl was not simple.

Because whether one is an ordinary person or a martial arts practitioner, essence, energy, and spirit are all indispensable.

Qi can generate essence, essence can transform into qi, essence and qi nourish the spirit, and the spirit governs essence and qi.

As for martial arts practitioners...

The strength of one's spiritual soul is directly related to one's comprehension and aptitude, as well as the breakthroughs in subsequent realms.

Those exceptionally gifted geniuses are all individuals with powerful spiritual souls.

They are full of vitality and spirit, making it easier for them to cultivate martial arts skills or comprehend mental techniques than ordinary martial arts practitioners.

In contrast, some ordinary people who are born with weak souls are powerless to do anything, struggling even to read and write, let alone practice martial arts.

Therefore.

The spirit is also the most difficult to improve.

Elixirs or cultivation techniques that can enhance the soul are all priceless and rare items.

Once it occurs, it will inevitably unleash a bloodbath.

This Soul-Devouring Pearl is of too low a grade; long-term use will lead to demonic possession.

Otherwise, how could it have fallen into the hands of a mere tiger demon?
However, Lu Yuan possesses a cheat code.

If this Soul Purification Pearl can truly enhance the strength of one's soul, then these 50,000 Heaven-Mending Points are nothing at all.

As Lu Yuan thought of this, a fiery glint appeared in his eyes.

Rare and precious materials belong to those with the ability.

Today is the day I'm destined to make a fortune!

next second.

He wielded Blood Butcher once more, unleashing his full power.

Wind and Thunder Blade Technique, Second Form: Slaying Evil!

"Crack!"

A flash of lightning appeared.

Under the infusion of powerful and profound wind and thunder energy.

The Blood Slaughter Blade's aura surged, its crimson blade energy intertwining with purple lightning, emanating a terrifying wave that sent chills down the tiger demon's spine!
This attack has exceeded the limits of the Qi Gathering Realm, and it is definitely not something it can withstand!
"Are you bunch of idiots just going to stand there and wait to die? Why aren't you coming over to help?"

The tiger demon roared hoarsely.

"Tiger demon, your skills are lacking. It's time to teach you a lesson and make you remember it."

One of the wolf demons didn't take it seriously and instead made a sarcastic remark.

In its opinion.

Lu Yuan is just a two-year-old child. No matter how powerful he is, how strong can he be?

Even if he has some talent, he can only bully tiger demons who haven't been cultivating for very long.

Moreover, the fifteen great demons present were all renowned figures from Black Wind Ridge.

Back then, they followed their ancestor and killed many experts from the Demon Suppression Division, so how could they be afraid of a mere child?
"Forget it, the tiger demon is, after all, the ancestor's adopted son. If anything happens to it, we can't bear the consequences if the ancestor blames us."

A burly bear demon, clad in armor, shook his head and spoke in a deep, muffled voice.

While talking.

It crossed the barrier of the Soul-Devouring Pearl and stood in front of the tiger demon, intending to block Lu Yuan's attack. After all, the armor it wore was a Xuan-rank treasure with astonishing defensive power.

In the past, when it sparred with the pig demon, it could easily withstand the attacks of the demon head knife with just this armor.

But it never expected this.

After Lu Yuan enhanced it, the sharpness of this ghost-head saber increased more than tenfold!
"Shh!"

next second.

Blood Butcher cleaved down from the sky, slicing across the bear demon's body.

Its armor was as thin as paper, and it was instantly cleaved in two.

The bear demon stood there, stunned, a thin line of blood running from its brow down to its abdomen.

at the same time.

The Blood Slaughter Blade's surface shimmered with patterns, emanating an irresistible and terrifying suction force that devoured all flesh and essence.

The bear demon's originally massive body, which was as large as a mountain, was instantly reduced to a pile of bones!
[You have killed a Rank 3 Qi Gathering Realm bear demon and gained 4,000 Heaven-Mending Points!]

The bear demon's corpse fell to the ground.

The prompt from the will of the heavens also rang in Lu Yuan's mind.

As for all the demons present, they were all struck dumb, their eyes filled with disbelief.

All of this happened so fast that they didn't even have time to react.

It should be noted that the bear demon was a formidable warrior in Black Wind Ridge, and in terms of strength, he was even stronger than that pig demon.

In the blink of an eye, it turned into a skeleton?
"Why did the pig demon's ghost-headed blade become so sharp that it could actually break through the black gold armor's defense?"

"And what is this kid's background? He kills a third-rank demon as easily as slaughtering a chicken or a dog?!"

Looking at the bear demon's corpse.

The remaining powerful demons were terrified and finally realized the seriousness of the situation.

At first, when they saw Lu Yuan, they were somewhat dismissive.

However, this one blow made them realize the reality!

If we let Lu Yuan run rampant.

At that time, not only the tiger demon, but all of them will perish here!

All the powerful demons dared not stand idly by any longer and stepped forward to fight alongside the tiger demon.

They joined forces to pour all their true energy into the Soul Devouring Pearl, making the barrier, which was as thin as a cicada's wing, dozens of times thicker!
"boom!"

Lu Yuan slashed at the barrier again.

In an instant, sword energy surged and lightning flashed everywhere.

The two collided heavily, and an invisible, terrifying wave immediately spread in all directions.

The flowers, plants, and trees on the mansion were all uprooted and overturned, as if they had been ravaged by a storm.

But that barrier was as hard as a tortoise shell, and it was not shaken in the slightest!
On the contrary, the many powerful demons hiding inside the barrier were so shocked that they coughed up blood and staggered back several steps.

Lu Yuan was also not having a good time.

A powerful recoil force traveled through the Blood Butcher Blade, causing his blood and qi to surge and boil, and several faint wounds appeared on his tiger's mouth!
This was after he had practiced the Yi Jin Du Gu Gong (Muscle/Tendon Changing and Bone Strengthening Technique), and his physical body had already reached the point where he had skin of copper and bones of iron.

Otherwise, an ordinary martial artist would probably be severely injured by this backlash!
Lu Yuan remained unmoved and continued to unleash the Wind and Thunder Blade Technique relentlessly.

He refused to believe that with the sharpness of Blood Slaughter and his own boundless Wind and Thunder True Qi, he couldn't cleave through the turtle shell in front of him!
"Boom!"

The crimson blade light fell like raindrops on the surface of the Soul Devouring Pearl barrier.

Under Lu Yuan's relentless and fierce offensive.

Even the strongest barrier eventually developed several cracks.

Moreover, as Lu Yuan became more and more proficient in the Wind and Thunder Blade Technique, a new understanding gradually emerged in his mind.

The first move of the Wind and Thunder Blade Technique, Night Slash, emphasizes speed.

When the blade's edge reaches its maximum speed, it is enough to tear apart the long, dark night.

The second move of the Wind and Thunder Blade Technique, "Exterminate Evil," is to break through all techniques with sheer force.

With the purest and most powerful wind and thunder energy, it destroys all demons and evil spirits that stand in its way.

But if the speed of the first move, Night Slash, is combined with the power of the second move, Demon Slayer, could the power of this sword technique increase dramatically again?

Lu Yuan felt it was increasingly feasible, and he felt that he had vaguely grasped the essence of the third move.

If I could perfect this move on my own, wouldn't I be able to save a lot of Heaven-Mending Points?
Do it when you think of it.

With the combined power of the Yin Sha Spirit Body and the Severing of Emotions to Prove the Dao, Lu Yuan firmly grasped a sliver of inspiration in his mind and attempted to transform it into reality.

"boom!"

Lu Yuan tried it for the first time, but he used too much force and was instead thrown away by the impact.

But he did not lose heart and continued to try with his knife.

Second knife.

It's too fast, but lacks power.

Not a single white mark was left on the surface of the barrier.

The third knife, the fourth knife, the fifth knife...

Seeing Lu Yuan frantically wielding his sword as if possessed, all the demons were bewildered, not understanding what this human was doing.

"What's going on? This kid's swordsmanship is chaotic and disordered. Could he have fallen into demonic possession?"

"A wolf demon asked in confusion."

"Kids will be kids. When they can't get a good grip, they get impatient and make mistakes."

"For a martial arts practitioner to be unable to even hold a knife properly when facing an enemy is simply a huge joke."

"This man is not in good condition right now. Why don't we take this opportunity to kill him?"

A group of powerful demons were itching to make a move, but before they could finish speaking...

next second.

A dazzling purple blade of light suddenly appeared in front of us!
This sword was drawn.

The wind and clouds changed color, and the world lost its light.

This purple blade of light seemed to replace the sun, moon, and stars, becoming the only thing in the world!

All the great demons present were terrified, feeling the immense horror of life and death.

But the speed of this strike was too fast, even exceeding the limits of the body's reaction time.

They could only watch helplessly as that flash of light appeared, their pupils widening rapidly.

Followed by.

The impenetrable barrier and all the demons were engulfed by the dazzling blade light.

Wind and Thunder Blade Technique, Third Form: Burying the Moon!

When the overwhelming wind and thunderous energy dissipated, everything returned to calm.

The numerous demons vanished without a trace, as if they had evaporated into thin air.

The places where they once stood are now empty, without a trace.

Only a single, cracked, gray jade bead fell from the sky and landed on the ground.

[You have defeated a Qi Gathering Stage 1 tiger demon and gained 2,300 Heaven-Mending Points!]

[You have slain a Qi Gathering Ninth Level Wolf Demon, gaining 4,900 Heaven-Mending Points!]

……

The notification sounds kept coming incessantly.

Lu Yuan felt completely drained; his legs gave way, and he collapsed to the ground.

Just now, relying on a sliver of inspiration in his mind, he finally comprehended the third move of the Wind and Thunder Blade Technique: Burying the Moon.

This move combines the speed of the first move, "Night Slash," with the power of the second move, "Evil Slaying." Its power can be described as domineering and terrifying.

However, this move also consumes an enormous amount of energy.

According to Lu Yuan's guess.

This move involves a higher level of power application, and only those at the fourth-grade Transcendent Realm or those with even greater strength can execute it.

Even though Lu Yuan's true energy was as vast as the sea, he could only barely unleash half a move.

If forced to activate it, it will inevitably damage the foundation and cause unimaginable hidden dangers to the body.

Fortunately, all the great demons have been killed, otherwise, given Lu Yuan's current weakened state, any second-rank demon could easily kill him!
