Light!?
Why is there a light!?
Seeing this, Nalan Sheng's eyes widened in shock.
Wait, could this be... the legendary Yuan Shen!?
"Huh, how did a Three-Star Demon God manage to cultivate a Yuan Shen?"
Ye Fan, observing this scene, was equally surprised.
Typically, only those at the level of around Seven Stars could cultivate a Yuan Shen.
But to his astonishment, this Three-Star Demon God had one.
"No, it's not a Yuan Shen—it's some sort of special energy."
"And this energy isn't truly destroyed; it seems like the Demon God isn't completely dead yet."
"But compared to a Yuan Shen, this energy is immobile, meaning it's nothing more than a fish on a chopping block."
Seeing this, Ye Fan chuckled coldly.
Without hesitation, Nalan Sheng swung his Ye Fan Sword, slashing at the strange energy!
Whoosh—
With a single slash, the energy was cleaved in half!
He knew the Ye Fan Sword could cut through all energy forms, and this one was no exception.
As the energy dissipated, the surrounding black-gold demon blood began to swirl, flowing toward the blade of the Ye Fan Sword.
At the same time, the energy that had been seeping from the body of the Demon God was also absorbed by the sword.
[Killed Three-Star Demon God, gained 300,000,000 evolution points]
[Absorbed Three-Star Demon God's blood, gained 3,000 energy points]
[Absorbed Three-Star Demon God's blood, gained 3,000 energy points]
[Absorbed Three-Star Demon God's blood, gained 3,000 energy points]
...
"Finally, something worthwhile to kill."
Seeing the system prompts, Ye Fan couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction.
Killing one Demon God was worth so many warriors.
At that moment, an enormous amount of energy surged through the Ye Fan Sword and into Nalan Sheng's body!
This power...!?
Feeling the immense energy coursing through him, Nalan Sheng's eyes widened in shock.
The energy was so overwhelming, it felt like his body was on the verge of exploding!
Even though the cultivation technique he practiced could consume energy quickly, it wasn't fast enough to handle this level of intensity.
There was no other option!
With a single thought, Nalan Sheng raised the Ye Fan Sword high above his head.
Ahhh!!!
Once again, terrifying lightning energy erupted from the sword!
"Impossible!!!"
The lead Demon God hovering in the sky roared furiously.
A mere human had just killed one of his Three-Star Demon God subordinates!
This wasn't a Martial God—it was only a Martial Saint, a human from the mortal realm!
Everything had happened in the blink of an eye. The lead Demon God had initially been curious about how the Ye Fan Sword would perform in the hands of a human warrior.
But he had never imagined that a mere Martial Saint could slay a Three-Star Demon God.
Was this truly the power of the Demon Sword!?
As this thought crossed his mind, his breathing grew heavier with excitement.
"I'll kill you!!!"
The lead Demon God roared, summoning his strength and preparing to launch an attack on Nalan Sheng.
Boom—
But in that instant, a surge of lightning energy burst from the Ye Fan Sword, streaking toward the sky!
Boom, boom, boom—
The entire sky was soon engulfed in thunder and lightning, and the resulting booms shook the heavens as though the entire sky was about to shatter.
The ferocious lightning began raining down relentlessly!
"Dodge it!"
The lead Demon God shouted.
Boom, boom, boom—
Massive bolts of lightning crashed down with terrifying force.
The Demon Gods in the sky frantically dodged, trying to avoid the onslaught of electric destruction.
"By channeling the power of the slain Demon God into the sword and releasing an even stronger version of [Thousand Thunder], he's achieved a more powerful result," Ye Fan mused.
"Smart move."
Watching the scene unfold, Ye Fan couldn't help but comment aloud.
He had initially thought Nalan Sheng wouldn't survive much longer, but to his surprise, the man had managed to kill a Three-Star Demon God.
Not only that, but he had funneled the immense energy back into the sword, which in turn allowed him to unleash an even stronger version of Thousand Thunder.
This new Thousand Thunder was vastly more powerful than the previous one.
"How can a human unleash such terrifying power!?"
The lead Demon God dodged desperately in the sky.
The lightning was too fearsome—even he didn't dare to let it hit him directly. If it struck, he felt certain he would be severely injured.
The thought made his skin crawl.
Moreover, according to legend, the Demon Sword wasn't supposed to have the ability to release lightning.
Could this be the martial skill of that human?
Impossible!
How could a Martial Saint release power that only a god-tier warrior could summon!?
The lead Demon God was beginning to question everything.
Meanwhile, the devastating lightning continued to bombard the surrounding area, carving massive craters into the earth.
Boom, boom, boom—
The ground shook violently.
Countless large pits appeared as the relentless lightning hammered down.
"It's... so strong..."
Staring at the scorched earth, Nalan Sheng's eyes widened in awe.
He now realized that the sword in his hands was far from ordinary.
This sword must have fallen from the divine realm!
It was undoubtedly a terrifying Demon Sword!
As the dense energy within his body continued to be absorbed and dissipated, Nalan Sheng's eyes suddenly widened in realization.
At that moment, he felt himself enter a strange state of being.
It was as though his entire body had been emptied.
This sensation was truly bizarre.
Under normal circumstances, this would be extremely dangerous, but Nalan Sheng couldn't focus on that now.
The state he was in felt far too amazing!
His entire life seemed to flash before his eyes like a series of images playing in his mind.
Boom—
In the next moment, it was as if he had achieved enlightenment.
His body erupted with immense power, creating a powerful gust of energy that swept across the surrounding area.
Dust and pebbles were blown away, and Nalan Sheng's body began to emit a soft, golden glow.
"This is..."
