"Alright, I'll leave it to you, Senior Brother." The others didn't think much of it, nodding in agreement before leaving.
As they departed, a subtle smile appeared on Zhang Yuanji's lips.
With a single thought, he vanished from where he stood and reappeared in a different, secluded location.
After glancing around to ensure no one was watching, he summoned Boundless into his hand with a simple thought.
"It really is a divine sword…"
Staring at the sword in his hand, his eyes were filled with greed.
Now that he held the sword, he could fully feel the immense boost it provided.
The enhancement was nothing short of extraordinary!
His cultivation technique allowed him to passively absorb energy from the surrounding environment at all times, but the speed of absorption had always been slow.
However, now he could clearly sense that the speed at which he absorbed energy from the air had significantly increased!
"So, this is the so-called Divine Realm," Ye Fan thought to himself as he observed his surroundings.
Everything here was distinctly different from the previous world. The plants, flowers, and trees all seemed to radiate a unique energy, and the density of energy in the air was incomparable to anywhere else.
"If killing a Martial God-level warrior grants 1 billion evolution points, that would be amazing!"
The mere thought made Ye Fan excited.
If killing a Martial God could truly earn 1 billion evolution points, then that would be beyond exhilarating!
"Let's check this guy's information first."
[Sword Owner: Zhang Yuanji]
[Good: 44.5%] [Evil: 55.5%]
It seemed that he could indeed tap into the dark sword's abilities.
Without further hesitation, Ye Fan activated his will, and in the next moment, all the information about the sword flowed into Zhang Yuanji's mind.
"What…?"
Zhang Yuanji was already surprised, but now his shock intensified.
He was receiving an enormous amount of information about various ways to wield the sword!
"This sword… it even contains martial techniques…" he muttered to himself.
Without wasting time, he raised Boundless.
With a single thought, he slashed the air in front of him.
Whoosh—
Instantly, a terrifying wave of white flames erupted from the sword, surging toward the area ahead.
Boom—
When the flames struck the ground, a deafening explosion echoed out.
The earth trembled violently as a result.
The spot hit by the flames was scorched black, and a massive crater formed as the fire even incinerated much of the soil.
"The power of this technique…"
Zhang Yuanji stared in wide-eyed disbelief at the scene, completely stunned by what he had just witnessed.
The power of the Netherflame Soul-Cutting Slash was far beyond what he had expected!
It was terrifyingly powerful.
"And this sword has more than just one ability," Zhang Yuanji said, gripping Boundless even more tightly, his excitement growing.
Boom, boom—
At that moment, the ground began to shake slightly.
It seemed that the powerful tremor from the previous attack had drawn the attention of some powerful creatures in the area.
Turning around with Boundless in hand, Zhang Yuanji saw a massive figure in the distance.
It was a gigantic ape-like beast with enormous blood-red eyes.
It was a Beast King-level creature, the Blood-Eyed Giant Ape!
Roar—
The beast let out a furious roar before charging at Zhang Yuanji.
"Hmph," Zhang Yuanji snorted coldly.
"This is the perfect opportunity to test my sword!"
As soon as he spoke, he slashed with Boundless once again.
The Blood-Eyed Giant Ape swung its massive hand to strike, but Zhang Yuanji's sword cleaved through the beast's arm, cutting it cleanly in half.
Bang—
The beast's thick arm was severed, and blue blood sprayed everywhere.
Roar—
The giant ape howled in pain.
"It's unbelievably sharp," Zhang Yuanji exclaimed, his eyes filled with joy.
He glanced at the wounded beast, his gaze growing colder.
"Time for you to die!"
In the next moment, Zhang Yuanji rushed forward with his sword.
Slash, slash, slash—
The Beast King-level creature had no chance to retaliate.
In just a few moments, Zhang Yuanji had killed it with Boundless.
Despite the creature's tough hide, muscles, and bones, the sword sliced through them like they were nothing.
"I really found a treasure," Zhang Yuanji murmured, gazing at the beast's corpse.
But just then, something even more shocking happened.
He watched as the beast's blood, along with some of its dissipating energy, began to rise and flow into the blade of Boundless.
He also sensed a portion of the powerful energy being absorbed into his own body!
[Killed Beast King-level Creature, gained 1,000,000 evolution points.]
[Absorbed Beast King-level creature's blood, gained 100 energy points.]
[Absorbed Beast King-level creature's blood, gained 100 energy points.]
...
"A Beast King-level creature is equivalent to a human Martial King," Ye Fan noted, reading the system's notifications.
"Killing a beast, this sword not only absorbs energy but also transfers some of that energy to the wielder…" Zhang Yuanji muttered in awe.
The power of this sword was beyond his expectations!
"I'm sorry, Master. I can't give you this sword," Zhang Yuanji said softly, his gaze growing firm as he looked at the sword in his hand.
This sword was far too valuable to part with.
It was his chance to ascend to the peak of power!
"Let's go!"
With a satisfied smile, he used his will to return to his cave dwelling.
His cave was situated in a place rich with spiritual energy.
Outside the cave, he had set up a special restriction barrier that only he could enter.
Once inside, he immediately began preparing to forge a scabbard for the sword.
He had noticed that Boundless emitted a terrifying killing aura and an incredibly sharp edge.
It definitely needed a good scabbard!
