I Can Extract Divine Power

This was the true Qingtian—a terrifying presence that made one’s whole body tremble.

The mere wisp of its aura was enough to chill one to the bone.

Moreover, Qingtian was clad in thick, bronze-like armor.

The patterns on the armor were clearly visible, exuding an ancient and terrifying aura.

And below Qingtian, the phantom figure was as minuscule as a sesame seed. One could barely see it without looking closely.

’What new trick is it going to pull this time?’

Shen Bai stroked his chin, looking at the scene below.

At that moment, the phantom, longsword in hand, was looking up at Qingtian in the sky.

A crescent of Sword Qi shot toward Qingtian.

This time, with no warning, a terrifying battle erupted between them.

Qingtian’s fists seemed capable of destroying the heavens and the earth. Each punch sent cracks spiderwebbing through the surrounding Space.

And though the phantom’s longsword was thin, the terrifying Sword Qi exploding from it was enough to match Qingtian blow for blow.

’Not enough. Far from enough.’ Shen Bai’s brows furrowed as he watched the world-shattering battle.

Qingtian’s terrifying armor possessed astonishing defensive power; the phantom’s Sword Qi couldn’t even penetrate it.

’If this goes on, the phantom will surely be defeated soon.’

But Shen Bai was not worried at all.

Because there was only one possible outcome here: the phantom would crush all its enemies and complete its show of power.

After all, this was a lesson to teach Shen Bai a Divine Power.

Sure enough, just as the thought crossed Shen Bai’s mind, the tide of battle turned.

Qingtian fell.

It fell so abruptly that Shen Bai almost suspected Qingtian was just putting on an act.

But in truth, Qingtian was really gone.

There wasn’t a single wound on its body, but it was gone all the same.

"Its Divine Soul... is gone?" Shen Bai said, astonished.

It wasn’t that Deceitful beings lacked a Divine Soul, just that theirs were chaotic and devoid of humanity.

To think the phantom’s Sword Qi could directly extinguish a Divine Soul... it was utterly terrifying.

Before him, the phantom stood with hands clasped behind its back, its longsword resting on the ground, emanating an aura of pure cool.

The whole scene began to blur.

Shen Bai knew what this meant. He had finished watching the phantom’s show of power; it was time to go back.

When the scene sharpened from a blur back into focus, Shen Bai found himself back in his room in the five-story building.

"One sword drawn, the Divine Soul is annihilated."

As the smoke vanished, a vast amount of Information flooded into Shen Bai’s mind and was absorbed.

When Shen Bai had absorbed all the Information, he opened his eyes.

’Powerful.’

Just that one simple word.

After reaching Level 7, the Anti-Demon Blood Sword Dance had evolved into the Soul-Annihilating Sword. In addition to doubling all its previous Attributes, it gained a new Attribute: Soul Cutting.

This Attribute was just as terrifying as its name suggested.

In this world, masters were as common as clouds in the sky, and professions were countless.

And among them, some specialized in extraordinary Defense Techniques.

One might find themselves facing an opponent who was like a turtle in its shell.

But this Divine Power, the Soul-Annihilating Sword, compensated for that weakness.

’So what if your defense is high? So what if you’re incredible and untouchable?’

’But if my sword attacks the Divine Soul directly, how will you defend against that?’

This sword strikes from within.

The Qingtian that Shen Bai had seen was clad in armor with astonishing defensive power, yet under the phantom’s repeated sword strikes, its Divine Soul had been gradually worn away.

Once its Divine Soul vanished completely, Qingtian became an empty shell—deader than dead.

’This is really good,’ Shen Bai thought, pleased.

The combat power boost from this new Divine Power was simply incredible.

Moreover, Shen Bai’s own strength had also been enhanced.

Shen Bai closed his eyes and carefully sensed the changes within himself.

Within his body, the first bridge was completely formed, successfully connecting two meridians. Shen Bai had taken another step toward the Void Realm.

’Next up is the next Deceitful Object,’ Shen Bai thought.

On this trip, besides the three sword-type Deceitful Objects he had processed, there were four more remaining.

He still had twenty-three wisps of Evil Qi, so of course he wasn’t going to stop now.

The sooner he finished the appraisals, the sooner he could call it a day.

With that thought, Shen Bai picked up the first item.

It was a flower vase, covered in fine, clear cracks.

A line of smoke materialized before his eyes, gradually forming words.

[Cyan Flower Bottle]

[Appraisal Progress: 0%]

[One wisp of Evil Qi required for rapid appraisal]

’A vase? What could I possibly get from appraising this thing?’ Shen Bai thought.

He didn’t dwell on it and began the appraisal.

A wisp of Evil Qi vanished before his eyes.

[Similar Divine Power detected. Can be converted to Skill Level for Life and Death Storage Skill.]

"Convert," Shen Bai chose without hesitation.

Even though this was the first time he had converted points for the Life and Death Storage Skill, Shen Bai didn’t mind.

’This kind of thing was meant to be accumulated anyway. The more, the better.’

A wisp of Evil Qi vanished before his eyes.

[Life and Death Storage Skill +1000]

Shen Bai then took out the second Deceitful Object.

This time, it was an ordinary piece of jade.

[Exquisitely Carved Jade]

[Appraisal Progress: 0%]

[One wisp of Evil Qi required for rapid appraisal]

"Appraise."

[Similar Divine Power detected. Convert to the Spirit Casting Technique Divine Power?]

This one was unexpected. It was for the Spirit Casting Technique.

Shen Bai had already converted points for this Divine Power twice, so it definitely wasn’t a loss.

More importantly, of all his Divine Powers, this was the one that required the most space, as it had to be leveled up by grinding out Casting.
