Chapter 268: The state of enlightenment, the ultimate imperial martial arts!

Li Xuanfeng left, traversing the Void Realm.

He didn't plan to continue drifting between the four major powers.

Over the past month and a half, he had eradicated numerous subordinates of the four major powers, devoured and refined many Domains, and plundered a large amount of resources. In the eyes of other Cultivators, he had earned a fortune.

But in Li Xuanfeng's own view, the harvest was only mediocre.

Especially in terms of strength improvement, in a month and a half, he had raised his Middle Stage Domain from 450,000 li to 510,000 li.

This speed was enough to shock any Imperial Realm Cultivator, yet it didn't particularly satisfy Li Xuanfeng.

The main reason was that he hadn't killed many Imperial Realm Cultivators.

For instance, the Lijiang Sub-Sect was considered a relatively powerful sub-sect, with an Early Stage Imperial Realm Cultivator, Emperor Chi Yang, overseeing it.

However, most places did not have Imperial Realm powerhouses; Imperial Realm Cultivators were generally found at the headquarters of super powers.

Without killing Imperial Realm Cultivators, the improvement for Li Xuanfeng wasn't particularly significant. The Lower Stage Domains of King Realm Cultivators were not even considered an appetizer for him now.

"To improve faster, perhaps the only option is to go to the Ancient Demon Palace."

Li Xuanfeng mused.

During this period, he had frequently performed Soul searches, and had long since learned a lot of information about the Ancient Demon Palace.

The memory of the Imperial Realm elder he had just killed also contained a lot of information related to the Ancient Demon Palace.

The elder's current emergence from seclusion was to seek an Opportunity to break through his Realm at the Ancient Demon Palace. However, after hearing about Li Xuanfeng's existence, he had the idea of taking a risk, but unexpectedly met with a demise.

When Li Xuanfeng decided to continue disrupting the four major powers, he checked the color of his destiny and found no change.

When he decided to go to the Ancient Demon Palace, the color of Chaos unusually turned into golden light, indicating that this decision would bring him immense benefits.

"The prophecy of the Ancient Demon Palace appearing has been circulating for many years, and countless Cultivators are coveting it. Most Imperial Realm Cultivators will probably flock there. It seems that is the fastest place for me to improve my strength."

Li Xuanfeng knew that the secrets he possessed held a fatal allure for many powerhouses. Once he arrived at the Ancient Demon Palace, even if he didn't contend or snatch anything, trouble would actively seek him out.

He understood the saying, "An innocent man is guilty only for the treasure he possesses." The reason he dared to act so high-profile and ostentatiously was entirely due to the System's ability to avert disaster. Otherwise, he would definitely choose to be more cautious.

"The Azure Nether Sword can no longer keep up with my current strength. It seems I need to find an Opportunity to trigger a wave of returns."

"Also, the Heaven-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique, I should also set aside some time to ponder it carefully and push it to a higher Realm."

"The Severing Sword Art is very powerful. I wonder if it's a Martial Skill created by Master. As my strength increases, the power of this Martial Skill will also increase, but I think similar Martial Skills can be extended from this foundation. Hmm… I actually have some ideas in this regard and need a catalyst for complete Epiphany."

"As for the Physical Body, the Chaos Golden Bones require better resources than the core source of the Earth Vein Profound Gold Ore to advance to the second stage."

"Improving each aspect a bit will cause my overall strength to skyrocket!"

Li Xuanfeng pondered the direction of his strength improvement while traveling.

"Ding! Lian Yuezhou drank the Enlightenment Tea, and her Comprehension Ability greatly increased for a short period. Fifty-fold return! Your Comprehension Ability greatly soared for a short period, approaching a state of Epiphany!"

The System's notification sound suddenly rang out without warning.

Li Xuanfeng immediately felt his mind clear, and countless flashes of inspiration burst forth.

"Good Opportunity!"

Li Xuanfeng was instantly overjoyed and stopped directly in the boundless Void Realm.

He checked the color of his destiny with the help of the System and found no danger in staying there.

So he summoned the Golden Imperial Bell, entered its internal space, and began to deduce Martial Skills, taking advantage of this rare state.

The Heaven-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique was a Martial Skill he created himself. As his strength increased, the power of this Martial Skill would also increase.

And as long as Li Xuanfeng could continuously perfect this Martial Skill, integrating more insights and power, its grade would also continuously improve.

The Azure Nether Sword appeared in his hand.

"Xiao Qing, help me deduce Martial Skills!"

Li Xuanfeng called out.

"Yes, Master!"

The sword spirit Xiao Qing, in a green robe, said excitedly.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Streaks of sword light flashed through the internal space of the Golden Imperial Bell. On the long sword in his hand, a phantom figure in green robes could faintly be seen, swinging the sword in accordance with Li Xuanfeng's movements.

The sword dance was like a Dragon soaring, the human figure like flowing clouds.

After falling into the state of enlightenment, Li Xuanfeng lost track of how much time had passed. He integrated everything he had comprehended into his sword strikes. Even the Severing Sword Art gradually merged into it in this state, and then underwent unexpected changes.

Finally, after continuously swinging millions of swords, various powers merged into a single Peak strike.

The Azure Nether Sword trembled, and Xiao Qing's illusory figure also trembled, but she was full of excitement, her state reaching its Peak.

Swish!

The sword light flashed, seemingly transcending time and space. As soon as the thought arose, the sword strike had already flown to the edge of the Golden Imperial Bell's internal space.

Clang!

A resounding shock was heard, and the entire bell body vibrated as if it was about to shatter.

Roar!

A phantom golden Dragon appeared, looking at Li Xuanfeng with a puzzled expression. Was Master trying to cut down his Imperial Dao weapon?

He was clearly holding a King Dao weapon, yet the power released made the Golden Imperial Bell's artifact spirit feel as if it could barely withstand such power.

"It's done!"

Li Xuanfeng ignored the golden Dragon and couldn't help but laugh.

He perfectly integrated all his powers, even incorporating the Severing Sword Art, directly elevating the grade of the Heaven-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique to Imperial Grade!

Before becoming a King Realm Cultivator, Martial Skills were divided into Human-Grade, Earth-Grade, and Heaven-Grade, with each grade further divided into four qualities: Lower, Middle, Upper, and Extreme.

Upon reaching the King Realm, the Martial Skills used by Cultivators also reached the King Grade, similarly divided into four qualities: Lower, Middle, Upper, and Extreme.

As for Imperial Realm powerhouses, they used Imperial Grade Martial Skills.

Li Xuanfeng's Comprehension Ability was already high, and after receiving a significant return from Lian Yuezhou, his state was practically indistinguishable from an Epiphany.

Therefore, by integrating various insights and powers into his sword strikes, and simultaneously incorporating the Severing Sword Art, he directly elevated the Heaven-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique to the Extreme Imperial Grade Realm!

"The Severing Sword Art is very strong!"

"From the King Realm and Imperial Realm Cultivators I've killed, none of them had heard of such a Move that could forcibly sever the connection between the Soul and the Domain!"

"Since its original grade was already extremely high, it's not surprising that its grade reached Extreme Imperial Grade after I integrated it into the Heaven-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique."

"It's a pity the Azure Nether Sword is only an Extreme King Dao weapon, and coupled with my insufficient strength, I can't unleash the full power of this Move, but it's still very good. It's now even easier for me to kill Middle Stage Imperial Realm Cultivators!"

Li Xuanfeng gripped his long sword tightly, feeling that even if Emperor Xuan Kui hadn't been slapped twice by Emperor Ling, he wouldn't be able to withstand a few of his sword strikes at full strength.

"The state of enlightenment hasn't disappeared yet. I can still try to create another Martial Skill, a Martial Skill I had an idea for before, extended from the Severing Sword Art."

"If I succeed, I won't have to wait for others to actively release their Domains, but can forcibly strip their Domains away, making it impossible for them to retract them!"

A thought flashed through his mind. Li Xuanfeng put away the Azure Nether Sword and, while the state of enlightenment had not yet disappeared, began to attempt to deduce Martial Skills.
