“I see…” Jared murmured to himself, a glimmer of understanding flashing in his eyes.
He no longer rushed to attack. Instead, began to carefully observe the man’s movements, attempting to comprehend the mystery hidden behind the power.
The man saw that Jared was no longer taking the initiative to attack. He scoffed, raised his giant axe high, and suddenly brought it down. Where the axe blade had passed, it seemed as if space itself had been torn apart, leaving behind a pitch-black fissure that bore down on Jared.
Jared’s expression tightened, his body flickered, narrowly avoiding the strike.
He felt the destructive power contained within the axe blade, which made even more cautious, yet at the same time, it also heightened his excitement. He knew this was a rare opportunity. If could grasp the understanding from it, his strength would surely reach new heights.
“Again!” Once again, Jared let out a low roar, swinging his Dragonslayer Sword along with Colossal Sword Energy, clashing against the man’s colossal axe.
This time, didn’t merely clash head-on as used to. Instead, attempted to merge his spiritual energy with his sword intent, seeking the subtleties hidden within the battle.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The battle intensified, with the space between heaven and earth filled with rampant energy fluctuations.
Jared’s figure was constantly flickering in mid-air, his Dragonslayer Sword clashing with the man’s massive axe, creating a dazzling display of light.
As the battle persisted, Jared’s movements became increasingly fluid, and his sword intent grew more refined.
He felt as though had brushed against the edge of a cultivation level, a mystical state that surpassed mere strength.
“So, it turns out that power is not just about brute force but about understanding and applying the laws of nature…” A sense of clarity washed over Jared, a spark of understanding flashing in his eyes.
He was no longer passively defending, but instead, took the initiative to attack. The aura of his Dragonslayer Sword became increasingly fierce, each strike carrying a kind of mysterious rhythm.
The man sensed Jared’s transformation, his face subtly shifting. He hadn’t expected that the seemingly feeble cultivator before would continually grow stronger in battle, even beginning to pose a threat to himself.
“Kid, you’re quite interesting…” The man let out a cold, mocking laugh.
He then swung his massive axe even more wildly, attempting to overpower Jared with sheer brute force.
However, at this point, Jared was no longer the same person was when first entered the battle.
His sword intent was becoming increasingly refined, each strike carrying a force as though governed by the laws of nature itself. When it clashed with the man’s massive axe, it even seemed to subtly gain the upper hand.
Boom!
Once again, a fierce clash erupted as Jared’s Dragonslayer Sword and the man’s massive axe were both repelled at the same time.
Jared took a step back, a glint of confidence flashing in his eyes. He knew had found a way to defeat the man.
“Next, it’s time to end this!” Jared let out a stern warning, his spiritual energy surging wildly. The aura of his Dragonslayer Sword surged instantly, transforming into a massive sword shadow, bearing down on the man.
The man felt the terrifying power held within the sword shadow, his face drained of color as quickly raised his large axe in defense. However, this time, his massive axe couldn’t completely block Jared’s sword energy.
Boom!
The sword shadow descended, causing the man’s massive axe to be sent flying, and his figure was also forced to retreat several hundred feet.
He glanced down at the faint scar on his chest, a trace of surprise flickering in his eyes.
“You’re not an Ultimate Realm Level Three. You’ve concealed your true level. Who would have thought you could actually hurt me?” The man looked at Jared in disbelief, a hint of apprehension lacing his tone.
“You just realized? However, you’re a bit late,” Jared said with a casual smile.
“You sneaky brat, hiding your true abilities and catching me off guard. You’re really crafty…” The man was extremely dissatisfied.
Jared gave a slight smile, his eyes filled with confidence. “Go on… We’re just getting started.”
Before his words fell, once again brandished his sword. The Colossal Sword Energy directly aimed at the man.
This time, his sword intent was even more refined, each strike carrying a force akin to the laws of nature, leaving the man struggling to defend.
The battle grew increasingly fierce, and Jared’s sword intent became ever more powerful.
He sensed that seemed to have touched the boundary of a cultivation level, a mystical state that transcended pure strength.
In the end, with a single swing of his sword, Jared sent the man’s massive axe flying. The man himself was forced to retreat thousands of feet. He glanced down at the deep sword scar on his chest, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes.
“Kid, you’ve won,” said.
The man sighed. “You can proceed to the next level now…”
