Chapter 1194 - Nine Heavenly Dragon Forms
The Heretic Blade's power compressed even further as Liu Wuxie's true essence poured from his desolate world like a tidal wave. He had focused every drop of his true essence into this strike, and the strike created a vacuum of spiritual energy around him.
He felt as though he had stepped into a strange world where time froze, leaving everything beyond a few meters utterly still. Even the laws of space and the inscriptions of heaven and earth recoiled from his strike, refusing to face the Heaven-Severing Strike head-on.
The lingering shadow of the immortal art within it was unfathomable, powerful enough to shake the heart and soul.
Just before the Heretic Blade touched the ground, Liu Wuxie drew back his true essence to avoid causing a commotion. Even so, when the blade fell, it unleashed a peerless impact that split the mountain path into two, carving a long gorge down its center.
The ground sank, stones crumbled into dust, and nearby trees disintegrated into powder.
"I caused this?" Liu Wuxie muttered in disbelief as he stared at the devastation. If he had not withdrawn his true essence at the last moment, the destruction would have been far worse.
"The Heaven-Severing Strike is no weaker than the attack of a cultivator at the fourth-level Origin Conversion Realm. I'll save it as a trump card," he murmured.
Even so, he had underestimated the strike's power. Once his cultivation had advanced enough, he would eventually be able to fuse the shadow of the immortal art deeper into the technique, unleashing even greater force.
The thought alone made him wary of it. The Heaven-Severing Strike was far too terrifying to practice repeatedly, not to mention the unimaginable drain it placed on his true essence.
Instead, Liu Wuxie shifted his focus to the Nine Heavenly Dragon Forms, which were better suited to the wide ground of the rear mountain. The courtyard back at his residence had been too small.
He moved like a soaring dragon; his steps coiled like a serpent; his fists roared like a tiger. Every form mirrored the majesty of a divine dragon. The first three forms flowed with growing smoothness, but he lacked an actual battle to temper them.
