80%.
For a moment, the Demon Path Elder thought he was seeing an illusion.
He was under an illusionary spell.
But after rubbing his eyes and carefully sensing the situation…
It was incredibly real!
Indeed, it was 80% of the sword intent!
But how could this be possible?!
Even the Demon Path's Elders at the Mystic Pill Realm level might not have such mastery!
Yet the person before him was only at the Fifth Layer of the True Aperture Realm!
Instinctively, the Demon Path Elder took a step back, and the confidence he once had vanished in an instant!
He was confident that he could easily suppress Luo Mu, who only had 10% of the sword intent.
But 80%? That was absolutely impossible!
The difference between the two was like the difference between heaven and earth!
In fact… he was most likely going to die!
Not far away, Luo Mu gripped the sword hilt in his right hand.
Two hundred strands of No-Life Sword Qi, all concealed within the scabbard, were suppressed to the limit.
The sword-drawing stance.
The most powerful move from the No-Life Sword Canon.
Though there were still very few strands of No-Life Sword Qi right now, nowhere near the thousand or even higher limit…
With the 80% sword intent boost, it was already terrifying!
"Slash!"
His tongue thundered like spring thunder, reverberating through the forest.
Luo Mu drew his sword.
It was difficult to describe what kind of sword strike this was.
It was like an endless river of sword energy, surging out of the scabbard, spanning across the void, pouring across thousands of miles, bringing with it a terrifying momentum that swept across the eight directions and the six realms.
It directly descended upon the Demon Path Elder's head!
"This!"
The Demon Path Elder's pupils suddenly contracted.
He had never expected that Luo Mu, aside from his terrifying mastery of sword intent, also possessed such a fearsome sword technique!
This was definitely not the power of a Mystic-tier middle-grade sword technique!
At least, it was at the upper-grade level!
"Red Moon Shines Bright, Illuminating the Silent Extinction!"
Without time to think further, the Demon Path Elder executed a defensive technique.
After all, he was at the Spirit Sea Realm, so he wasn't completely unable to react. However, being caught within the sword intent, it was like being stuck in a quagmire, unable to evade.
He could only choose to take it head-on!
The red moon tattoo on his face also began to glow.
It was obvious that the Demon Path Elder's strength had increased somewhat.
At the same time, a red semi-circular shield appeared around the Demon Path Elder, enveloping him.
Boom!
The sword light descended!
The shield shook violently!
Had it blocked it?
The Demon Path Elder felt a fleeting moment of joy, but his expression quickly changed.
He saw that the point of contact was covered in dense cracks, spreading like a spider's web!
Crack!
In just half a breath, the shield completely shattered!
The terrifying sword light came crashing down!
"No!"
The Demon Path Elder cried out in despair.
He had painstakingly cultivated to the Spirit Sea Realm, and in the future, he could even have reached the Mystic Pill Realm!
But now, he was about to be slain by a mere True Aperture Realm practitioner!
This was so incredibly unfair!!!
Boom!
The ground trembled wildly, dust and smoke billowing, stones and sand flying everywhere.
When the smoke cleared, all that remained was a massive and deep crack.
The Demon Path Elder was in the center of it.
But his body had been split in two, though he still hadn't died immediately.
The red moon tattoo on his face flickered.
It seemed to be channeling a strange and eerie power.
This power attempted to pull the Demon Path Elder's divided body back together.
But No-Life Sword Qi was forged from the deathly will of living beings after their death.
In addition to possessing the fierce and domineering power of a sword technique, it could also devour life force!
This meant that before the Demon Path Elder's body could fully rejoin, his life force was already completely consumed.
His unwilling gaze lost its shine, clearly visible to the eye.
"This is the Demon Path, truly strange."
Luo Mu looked at the Demon Path Elder in the crack, frowning slightly.
His body had been split in two.
Yet he still didn't die.
If it weren't for his No-Life Sword Qi, which could devour life force, if given this person a little more time, he might have been able to stand up again.
"It must be the tattoo or the Red Moon Demon Art causing this," Luo Mu pondered.
"The world is vast, with countless wonders, and heroes and experts are as numerous as fish in the sea. I must always remain vigilant and humble."
"If I become arrogant, I could easily fall from grace."
This scene made Luo Mu's slightly fluctuating state of mind completely settle.
Whoosh!
A thick gray mist flew out from the Demon Path Elder's corpse and merged into Luo Mu's body.
The Spirit Sea Realm strong Cultivator could provide an immense amount of deathly will, far surpassing that of a True Aperture Realm practitioner.
It directly gave Luo Mu forty more strands of No-Life Sword Qi.
"Ding!"
"You have used the [No-Life Sword Canon] to slay a Spirit Sea Realm strong Cultivator, triggering a Critical Hit and gaining 100 times the reward!"
In his mind, the system's prompt rang out.
A hundred times?
Luo Mu was overjoyed.
That was equivalent to killing one hundred Spirit Sea Realm martial artists!
Wouldn't that directly perfect the technique?
No, wait, it would reach the limit!
Boom!
In an instant, his body was flooded with the increased deathly will, which transformed into No-Life Sword Qi, causing the number of No-Life Sword Qi to surge to one thousand!
But once it reached one thousand, it stopped.
The deathly will hadn't fully transformed; in fact, there was still a vast amount remaining.
"It seems my body's ability to withstand is already at its limit."
Luo Mu raised his arm.
Under his skin, flashes of sword light occasionally flickered. These were the countless strands of No-Life Sword Qi!
No-Life Sword Qi was transformed within the body, nourished by the practitioner's qi and blood.
Therefore, the practitioner's body must be strong!
"It looks like I must hurry to perfect the [Xuan Yang Overlord Body Technique]. Only then can I withstand more No-Life Sword Qi, and at that point, I'll have three thousand strands of No-Life Sword Qi!"
Luo Mu's gaze was burning with passion.
Now, his deathly will was sufficient; he only lacked the strength of his physical body.
Thinking this, Luo Mu crouched down.
He severed the Demon Path Elder's head and also found a storage ring, but didn't open it immediately.
He planned to examine it later after returning.
He didn't spare the other two heads either.
When he struck, he made sure to precisely avoid the skulls, so they wouldn't be unrecognizable.
