Chapter 411 - 341: Senior Sister Lv, Are You Ready to Face My Devilish Finger?
A flash of spiritual power shone, and a spirit pill as dazzling as a star appeared in Su Yuan’s hand.
[Star Shattering Calm Domain Pill: Contains the inheritance of the Star Shattering Demon Monarch—the spiritual pill of the Star Shattering Calm Domain. It can only be consumed after condensing the Star Shattering Sword Seed. After consumption, the Star Shattering Calm Domain can be obtained, lasting for 24 hours.]
[Star Shattering Calm Domain: After the Star Shattering Sword Seed advances, the spiritual power can be transformed into the Star Shattering Calm Domain. This divine technique can lay an unlimited number of invisible bubbles within a radius of 500 meters.]
[Each bubble can store a large amount of oscillating mana and explode upon touch. The specific storage of oscillating mana depends on the proficiency in the Celestial Shattering Star Sword.]
[Bubbles can merge with each other, and if time permits, they can form a bubble not exceeding a radius of 500 meters. However, during the explosion of large bubbles, the user will suffer enormous recoil.]
After reading the introduction of this Human Pill, Su Yuan nodded slightly.
The result was not beyond his expectations; the second stage of the Celestial Shattering Star Sword is also a range-based divine technique.
Perhaps there is a certain commonality between the three Divinity Transformation inheritances of Evil Extermination University?
The majority of the effects of the Star Shattering Calm Domain could be seen during the battle between Yue Lan and Qi Hanyan.
However, the power of merging bubbles to form a super-sized bubble with a radius of 500 meters is yet unknown.
But it is evident that this move is a double-edged sword, damaging the enemy a thousand while costing eight hundred, and Yue Lan, with her petite frame, dared not use it.
Even Su Yuan could only use it with the Sea of Blood activated.
In this light, the best person to fully unleash the Star Shattering Calm Domain would be Chen Nuoyi.
Her physical strength is too high to fear any backlash.
Su Yuan extracted a Star Shattering Calm Domain Pill from Yue Lan and distributed it to Chen Nuoyi, then took one himself.
Feeling the changes in the Star Shattering Sword Seed within him, Su Yuan nodded in satisfaction.
The next goal is the second stage of the Divine Body Sacrificial Artifact Technique.
However, the first stage of this Divine Body Sacrificial Artifact Technique is completely a divine technique to assist in artifact refining. Whether the second and third stages can be used in combat remains unknown.
Moreover, among the twenty team members of Evil Extermination University’s team, the number of people from the Artifact Refining Department is the fewest, making it difficult to find one in the vast Eighth Layer.
However, surprises always come unexpectedly.
Su Yuan was thinking about how to hunt down seniors from the Artifact Refining Department when Lv Tianqiao, the big boss of the Artifact Refining Department, suddenly met with Su Yuan’s team.
Perhaps it wasn’t entirely a coincidence.
"The blood-red light in this place made me think someone from the Evil Extermination Department had a breakthrough, but it turned out to be you guys."
Senior Sister Lv stood on a wooden flying sword, overlooking Su Yuan’s team and the large blood-stained area ravaged by Su Yuan, her delicate brows furrowed.
As Su Yuan’s power continued to extend, it would inevitably attract the attention of the experts on the Eighth Layer, and Lv Tianqiao was just the first.
"Moreover, you all have secretly enslaved senior students, committing such demonic acts. Don’t you feel ashamed?"
Lv Tianqiao quickly noticed the controlled Tu Kun and Yue Lan, her beautiful eyes filled with anger.
Chen Nuoyi and Qi Hanyan turned their heads away guiltily.
But Zhu Tianqing remained calm and said:
"Senior Sister Lv, during your exploration of the Eighth Layer, you must have also killed or enslaved many Spirit Beasts."
"Since Spirit Beasts can be treated this way, why can’t cultivators be treated similarly?"
"Moreover, I believe our actions are more humane. At the very least, after making use of the enslaved seniors, I will release them from control."
"But deceased Spirit Beasts truly die. In comparison, it seems you are the more cruel one."
Hearing this, even Su Yuan couldn’t help but turn his head.
Goodness, the Celestial Hunting Celestial King sticks to the principle of ’equality between humans and demons’ under any circumstances.
I was guilty while enslaving Tu Kun and Senior Sister Yue, but you really think there’s no issue with it.
And can even use it as a reason to argue?
You are the true Demon!
"Sophistry!"
Lv Tianqiao shouted in anger:
"If I hadn’t witnessed it, it would be one thing, but since it’s happening in front of me, let me eliminate you immediately!"
With that, the aloof senior sister made a sword gesture with her hands, and her tall, elegant figure ignited without fire.
In just a moment, the flames engulfed Lv Tianqiao, transforming into a golden spiritual spring that merged into the wooden sword at her feet.
Upon absorbing the golden spiritual spring, the wooden sword swiftly transformed into a golden giant sword three meters long.
And this sword immediately burst with a might comparable to the Golden Core.
"Is this the second stage of the Divine Body Sacrificial Artifact Technique? Capable of merging the body and magical treasure? Is this a form of Unity of Man and Sword?"
Such a thought immediately popped into Su Yuan’s mind.
But he had no time to think further as the golden giant sword fell heavily, directly targeting Su Yuan, the culprit.
In the same instant, Su Yuan suddenly felt a sense of being locked on, and any attempt to dodge seemed futile.
"Su Yuan!"
Chen Nuoyi instantly stepped forward to block in front of Su Yuan.
But just as she moved, a repulsive force struck, pushing the girl aside.
It was the power of Su Yuan’s Celestial Slayer Swordsmanship.
The girl was surprised.
Could Su Yuan have a way to resist this Golden Core Realm sword?
Or is it that he just doesn’t want to see me get hurt?
Amidst his confusion, the massive golden sword had already descended upon Su Yuan’s head, the distance between them less than a millimeter.
But Su Yuan didn’t show any intention of dodging, as if he truly intended to stubbornly face this sword head-on.
Yet, in the next moment, Su Yuan’s head inexplicably swayed, perfectly dodging the sword by a hair’s breadth and rolling his body to the side.
[Deceitful Sword Physique Level 1 Effect: Any targeted deadly attack aimed at the head (ranged/melee), the first strike will be instinctively 100% dodged.]
Boom——
The golden giant sword slammed into the ground, instantly carving out a deep fissure over ten meters long.
Surrounding masses of corrupted fungus died en masse, yet new masses of corrupted fungus rushed in to fill the gap.
Some flesh tendrils even clung onto the golden giant sword, greedily trying to burrow into the sword’s crevices.
Unfortunately, the latter reacted too quickly, withdrawing the sword immediately, only getting a palm-sized stain of blood, which was quickly purged by the golden light.
In conclusion, the swordsmanship Lv Tianqiao used from the Divinity Transformation Inheritance was so easily defused by Su Yuan.
This left the golden giant sword momentarily unsure, uncertain if it should strike again.
Su Yuan climbed up from the ground, unhurriedly saying:
"Senior Sister Lv, your sword isn’t fast enough, nor is it ruthless enough."
"Is this the highest level of the Artifact Refining Department? Doesn’t seem that great. No wonder I easily suppressed the freshmen and sophomores of the Artifact Refining Department."
"If you don’t have stronger means, I suggest you return to the laboratory and forge some iron."
Lv Tianqiao’s displeased huffing voice came from the sword:
"Su Yuan, don’t get too complacent. What I’ve used is only the second stage of the Divinity Transformation Inheritance from the Artifact Refining Department, the Divine Body Transformation Technique."
"The third stage of the Divinity Transformation Inheritance, as well as the complete divine ability of the third stage unification, haven’t even been used yet."
"I originally wanted to see you gracefully eliminated, but since you prefer utter defeat... I’ll grant your wish!"
Upon those words, the golden giant sword transformed once again.
The wooden sword body, as if regaining life, sprouted countless emerald green branches.
A sword-shaped towering tree quickly appeared before Su Yuan and the others.
Then, the tree’s branches came alive, like venomous snakes, stabbing toward Su Yuan from all directions.
With such an attack coming thousands of times per second, targeting almost all of Su Yuan’s vital points, even if Su Yuan hadn’t already used up the "Deceitful Sword Physique Level 1" effect, he couldn’t dodge.
"Is this the third stage of the Divine Body Sacrificial Artifact Technique?"
"Is it granting the magical treasure life? Or is it imbuing the magical treasure with the power of a certain path?"
Su Yuan pondered in his mind while his body retreated without hesitation.
Under his feet, a multitude of flesh tendrils emerged from the fungal mat, brandishing their claws and rushing toward the emerald branches.
The Chi Yuan Sword and the Profound Strange Sword, one on the left and one on the right, were firmly in Su Yuan’s grasp.
The Blood Corruption Sword Qi and the Power of Deformation from the Profound Strange Demon Sword swiftly slashed out, cutting down one branch after another.
But despite all of Su Yuan’s methods, the branches he blocked were not as many as those that regenerated.
Inevitably, Su Yuan’s arm was slightly grazed by a branch.
And just from that contact, Su Yuan’s entire arm noticeably shriveled.
In an instant, most of the life force in Su Yuan’s arm was drained by that branch.
If truly ensnared by multiple branches, it wouldn’t even take a second to drain Su Yuan into a dried corpse.
"Su Yuan, I know you well."
Lv Tianqiao’s pleased voice rang out, seemingly due to her deep integration with the flying sword, her voice turned stiff:
"You have a method to continuously draw upon the Blood Sea Power to restore yourself, and perhaps the surrounding corruption fungi will also become a source of strength for you."
"I’m not unfamiliar with such methods. Guo Zhengyi is very skilled in using them, so I’ve prepared targeted defenses against such methods."
"If you can’t hold out, go ahead and draw on the power of the Blood Sea to recover. The more you restore, the more I extract!"
"After all... the Divine Body Dao Formation Method does consume a lot of life force, so whenever I use it, I have to find ways to make up for it as much as possible."
Hearing these words, Su Yuan couldn’t help but snort:
"Think you can just exploit me? You’re touching my reversed scale, Senior Sister!"
"Unfortunately, your plan is doomed to fail because the Artifact Refining Department’s Divinity Transformation Inheritance is countered by me from the beginning."
"What do you mean?"
Lv Tianqiao’s tone faltered.
But Su Yuan had already acted!

Forcibly increase the magical treasure’s affinity!
What difference does it make if it’s comparable to Golden Core Combat Power? It’s not like it has reached the Golden Core Stage yet. The Ten Demon Fingers can still be used on this third-place student in the entire school.
"Hmm——"
The aloof senior sister let out a muffled groan, her normally cold tone becoming strange.
But it wasn’t over yet; Su Yuan pointed another finger at the sword-shaped giant tree.
