Others Level Up, but I Pursue Cultivation!

The strength of the heaven and earth varied from place to place; where it was strong, Su Xing naturally had an advantage, and his swordsmanship was even more formidable.

But in areas where the strength of heaven and earth was weaker, Su Xing's swordsmanship could hardly be brought to its ultimate potential.

To put it plainly, a lot depended on the environment he was in.

Yet now, if he could comprehend his own sword technique from the strength of heaven and earth, that would truly be forging his own path in the way of the sword...

"The ultimate speed, huh... My comprehension of the sword of speed has just begun, but it already possesses such power," he said.

"I'm afraid... the opportunity for the Earth Sword to reach perfection lies in this sword of speed!"

Su Xing slightly narrowed his eyes; after all, with the innate talent of the Sword Body, his sensitivity to the Sword Dao had far exceeded that of ordinary people.

With just the text before him, Su Xing already had some speculations.

"Next, I shall attempt to perfect the sword of speed!"

"The ultimate speed will leave the enemy unable to react... the sound hasn't arrived, but the sword has already struck!"

He paused, then continued,

"And my Body Refinement Cultivation Level, with plenty of Rebirth Pills available in this simulation and twenty years ahead, reaching the eighth level of the Broken Void Realm shouldn't be difficult..."

Su Xing had a plan for what came next, his gaze fixed on the simulation panel.

[In the ninth year, at Demon-Subduing Pass, no demonic beast is a match for you.]

[Even peak Legendary Demon Beasts are unable to see the sword in your hand; you need only a single stroke to decapitate them.]

[Thus, you prepare to travel to the Beast Taming Realm to continue honing your swordsmanship.]

[You find the Red Dragon's nest and enter the Beast Taming Realm.]

[You successfully head to the Slaughter Battlefield in the Beast Taming Realm.]

[You begin to wreak havoc on the Slaughter Battlefield...]

[In your first year in the Slaughter Battlefield, you slay no less than fifty Legendary Demon Beasts.]

[You establish a formidable reputation for yourself on the Slaughter Battlefield.]

[Many from the Demon Race begin plotting to surround and suppress you.]

[But with the experience from the last simulation, you are much more prudent this time around; with absolute power, you are not ready to take risks and instead aim to systematically enhance your strength.]

[You become a prominent figure on the battlefield, often beheading Legendary Demon Beasts with a single sword strike.]

[You refine the Flesh Essence of these Legendary Demon Beasts into Rebirth Pills, with your Body Refinement Cultivation Level making daily progress.]

[In this manner, through day-to-day slaughter, three years quickly pass by.]

[In the twelfth year, over these years, no less than one hundred and fifty Legendary Demon Beasts have perished by your hand.]

[You have refined over ten thousand Rebirth Pills, which you cannot consume entirely.]

[So you bring the bulk of the Rebirth Pills back to Blue Star, donating them to the Great Xia Military.]

[These Rebirth Pills can greatly enhance the strength of Martial Emperor Level warriors, and with continued use, perhaps a few more Legendary warriors could emerge in the next decade.]

[Thus, another three years pass.]

[In the fifteenth year, your cultivation progresses by leaps and bounds, and one day you feel an epiphany that advances your vitality and blood further.]

[You successfully advance to the late stages of the Broken Void Realm, becoming a seventh-layer Cultivator!]

[Upon reaching the late stages of the Broken Void Realm, your power soars to a new level; Legendary Demon Beasts become even less of a challenge.]

[No Legendary Demon Beast on the Slaughter Battlefield forces you to draw a second sword.]

[But at the same time, as you continually practice the Earth Sword, you slowly meld into the identity of Sword Cultivator, understanding the creed and the mysteries of Sword Cultivation... to regard life and death lightly and to fight against any dissent.]

[Whether it is the sword of man or the sword of earth, both require accumulating experience through constant actual combat, enhancing their swordsmanship.]

[After all, the ultimate goal of both the sword of man and the sword of earth... is to kill the enemy!]

[In the sixteenth year, having slain hundreds of Legendary Demon Beasts over the years, you have collected enough Legendary Level Rebirth Pills.]

[But in such continuous overpowering of lesser opponents, the improvement to your strength and swordsmanship becomes gradual.]

[So you turn your sights to those Emperor Level members of the Demon Race!]

[The first one to deal with is the silver-haired Demon Emperor!]

[But you know that battling the Demon Emperor is extraordinarily risky; you must look carefully for an opportunity and devise a plan.]

[In the seventeenth year, you finally seize such an opportunity.]

[The silver-haired Demon Emperor recently battled with the Beast Taming Realm's Great Emperor, and although he didn't die, both parties are seriously wounded.]

[You decide to take advantage of the silver-haired Demon Emperor's injury to use him as a whetstone to enhance your swordsmanship.]

[One day, you intentionally delve deep into the Demon Race's army and finally lure out the silver-haired Demon Emperor.]

[Enraged at your audacity, the silver-haired Demon Emperor becomes incensed.]

[He was already upset about not having killed the Great Beast Tamer last time; now, to him, your brazenness as a mere Legendary being has crossed a line.]

[As expected, even with his serious injuries, the silver-haired Demon Emperor decides to make a move and teach you a lesson.]

[The great battle is about to commence.]

[The silver-haired Demon Emperor appears before you like a ghost, his sharp nails reaching straight for your throat.]

[However, at the moment the silver-haired Demon Emperor reaches out, you make your move!]

[You strike first, invoking the power of speed on your Ink Ice Sword, leveraging the power of heaven and earth and the Origin Force coiled around the blade...]

[You swing your strongest sword strike yet!]

[The Ink Ice Sword hits the silver-haired Demon Emperor's wrist with exact precision; he doesn't see your sword move at all.]

[By the time he reacts, you have already severed two of his fingers; the ring and little fingers fall to the ground, and bright red blood drips down from the fingertips...]

[The silver-haired Demon Emperor reels back dozens of steps, stupefied as he looks at the two fingers he's lost.]

[When he looks at you again, his eyes are filled with rage and malevolence...]
