Chapter 876: Nine Kills (2)
Death God's Eye, Delta. Third Form.
“What a nuisance,” Li Xiaofei muttered.
Once again, he let go of his efforts to calm the Blood-Drinking Sword.
Whoosh.
Sword light surged. The Blood-Drinking Sword, dragging Li Xiaofei with it, lunged straight toward Delta’s third form.
The battle resumed. This time, Delta’s rebirth brought another surge in strength. More crucially, the reinforcement of his physical body had clearly surpassed the limits of the Seven Transformation Realm. He now emanated a terrifying aura akin to that of a primordial beast.
His combat instincts had sharpened several times over. Li Xiaofei allowed the Blood-Drinking Sword to control the fight completely. Ironically, in this kind of battle that required no conscious thought from him, he found the rare opportunity to observe and think carefully.
Delta’s three resurrections all followed a distinct pattern. Every rebirth shifted him further from a humanoid form and deeper into a beast-like one. Every regeneration seemed to enhance the beast aspect within Delta. That transformation drastically amplified the physical strength of his body at a rate far beyond what his base energy level should have allowed.
Three minutes later, the battle ended once again. Delta, now in his deeply beastified form, was slain once more by the Blood-Drinking Sword. His essence, vital energy, spirit, and soul, was completely absorbed by the sword.
Li Xiaofei gripped the Blood-Drinking Sword with both hands, feeling the surging Immortal Force flooding into him from within. His whole body felt like an overinflated balloon, swelling uncontrollably as the energy poured in.
The sword, after devouring the enemy’s blood, essence, and soul, refined everything into the purest form of energy and returned it to its master. This was the most miraculous aspect of the Blood-Drinking Sword, proving its identity as an Emperor’s Weapon.
As expected, Delta resurrected once again, transforming to his fourth form. But this time, he had become fully beastified. His scales pulsed like flowing blood. There wasn’t the slightest trace of humanity left on his body. His physical strength had reached an indescribable level. He was utterly monstrous.
