I will eventually become a divine being through accumulating constantly

Ye Honghui did not recognize this Divine Relic but, as a Martial Artist, his Eye Power and intuition made his eyes light up immediately when he saw the blade, sensing a hint of threat.

“Nice blade.”

Xue Jing stood still for a while, seeing that Xuanling did not say much, he roughly understood how tolerant this super AI was toward him. Explore more adventures at My Virtual Library Empire

Whether it was using the Nonexistent Beast to take things or using the slightly cheating ‘Blade That Never Dulls,’ in Xuanling’s view, both were permissible.

Of course, this should not be Xuanling’s favoritism, but because what Xue Jing had done was still within the rules.

In Xuanling’s view, the abilities of the Nonexistent Beast were inherent to Xue Jing, naturally owned, and The Blade That Never Dulls did not deviate from the definition of cold weapons; although it was a Divine Relic, its ability was just equivalent to an incredibly hard weapon.

‘If that’s the case…’

Xue Jing had a thought and already figured out how to break Ye Honghui’s Unyielding Jade Bones.

He whispered something that no one else could make out.

After that, a glimmer of True Red light flickered between his hair and in his pupils as Xue Jing re-entered the [True Red] state.

“Hm?”

Many experts with exceptional Eye Power looked at Xue Jing’s shoulder with some confusion.

“Did something just appear there… An illusion?”

On the stage, seeming to feel that Xue Jing was ready, the bony Ye Honghui took a step forward.

Immediately, he clenched his right hand, and from the tip of his finger to his forearm and upper arm, the skin and flesh atop it suddenly corroded away rapidly, shriveling, contracting, wrinkling…

Finally, all the skin and flesh disappeared, absorbed by his hand bones, with the remains scattering with the wind, the jade-like hand bones fully exposed.

“——Wither.”

The jade-like hand bone clenched into a fist, hammering toward Xue Jing.

Where the fist passed, the air was forcibly expelled, creating visible pressure waves that seemed slow but quickly pierced toward Xue Jing.

This was an unavoidable punch.

Not physically unavoidable, but the strong Spiritual Aura emanating from Ye Honghui enveloped Xue Jing, firmly binding him in place.

If he actually dodged out of fear at that moment, he would fall into a complete disadvantage on the spiritual level.

In combat above Limit-breaking Level, the clash of Spiritual Auras is also a crucial element; once suppressed by the opponent, one’s ‘Dynamic Qi’ will inevitably be significantly weakened, leading to a restricted ability to perform physically.

However, Xue Jing had no intention of dodging.

He held the handle of the blade with one hand, positioning the Zhao Ye Blade horizontally in front of him, blade facing forward, while his other hand pressed against the back of the blade.

Fist and blade, met together.

In an instant, a colossal force like none he had ever felt before transferred through the blade. Xue Jing’s gaze focused, and his entire body ran at high speed like an extremely precise machine.

“Return to Nothing.”

Corresponding to ‘Return to One,’ the offensive move that could not be stopped, was ‘Return to Nothing,’ the Defense that could not be broken.

At the moment the opponent’s attack came, it instantly analyzed the opponent’s move, counteracting and dissolving it with the opposite Channeling Energy. Unless faced with an absolutely overwhelming force, any attack would disintegrate before ‘Return to Nothing.’

Although a defensive move, in essence, it was the same as ‘Return to One,’ which instantaneously unleashed thousands of Qi Forces, both the ultimate application of Martial Arts Skills.

Together, they were considered the methods of ‘Unchanging amidst a Thousand Changes.’

“Zzzt—”

A punch that should have caused a great commotion surprisingly didn’t make much noise upon meeting the blade, emitting only a cringe-worthy screeching sound, like the noise of a circular saw cutting through stone.

Beneath the calm surface, Xue Jing’s body ran at an unprecedented high speed crazily, constantly dissolving the enormous power surging from Ye Honghui’s fist.

At that moment, he felt like a ship with a large hole, endlessly bailing out the water rushing in, but the tremendous amount of water continued unabated, and the speed of bailing could not keep up with the inflow.

If it had been any other Martial Artist, even with a physical strength equivalent to his, they would have been unable to last long under such a high load and frenzied Channeling Energy before their body utterly collapsed and blood burst forth. However, Xue Jing, who had a True Martial Body, had the world-leading compatibility with Channeling Energy, reaching a Transcendent Level, which allowed him to endure this destructive behavior towards the body.

After a standoff lasting nearly twenty seconds—

“Boom—!!”

With a booming sound, centered around Xue Jing and Ye Honghui, the air pressure spread, creating a brief vacuum zone, and both of them separated.

Ye Honghui took seven steps back. Although the ground was unscathed due to the protection of the SC force field, each heavy thud emphasized the intensity of each step.

Xue Jing was the same, retreating a full thirteen steps. The Zhao Ye Blade was unscathed in his hands, but the skin of his palms had already burst open, with blood thick like rubies flowing out, staining the Zhao Ye Blade.

“…Impressive.”

Ye Honghui gripped his hand bone, speaking.

At the parts where his fist and palm bones met, a shallow dent had appeared on the original smooth surface.

That was exactly where it had made contact with the Zhao Ye Blade.

Just as he was about to say something more, suddenly, a sharp gleam approached at great speed.

“Clang—”

Ye Honghui’s entire body instantly flew backward off the ground and crashed into the SC force field wall with a clang.

And there, stuck in his throat, was a long blade.

Zhao Ye.

Despite the sharp tip of the blade pressing against his throat, Ye Honghui, whose neck bones were essentially unscathed, furrowed his brow and said,

“This is…”

Before he could finish, the Zhao Ye Blade, unheld by anyone, moved on its own as if wielded by an invisible swordsman and made a diagonal slash toward Ye Honghui’s collarbone.

“Clang—”

The blade was deflected.

“A curious Flying Sword Technique, but completely meaningless.”

Ye Honghui shook his head, paying no attention to the Zhao Ye that started flying around ceaselessly, intermittently chopping and stabbing at him.

He felt that Xue Jing was probably testing for any ‘vulnerable points’ on his body.

But it was a futile effort.

Ordinary horizontal martial arts indeed have what are called vulnerable points, but the Jade Bone Skill had not a single flaw.

It was in seeking the path of Unyielding Jade Bones, almost to the brink of madness and at the cost of abandoning everything, that he had gained this indestructible skeleton.

A ruthless method of practice yielded a ruthless result.
