CHAPTER 411: CHAPTER 188 CONNECTION ADVANCEMENT_2

The Sword Light Slash’s blade light grew longer and longer, starting at only a few meters, then becoming over ten meters, and later the swung blade light directly became dozens of meters.

The Samurai Sword swept horizontally, and swaths of Frenzied Beasts were directly cut in half by the blade light like cutting through wheat, even those A-level Demon Spirits couldn’t withstand the might of a single slash from the Jedi Knight.

The ground was littered with corpses and dropped Demon Cores, with dirty blood and the shimmering of Demon Cores intermingling, creating a demonic spectacle.

Suddenly, the Jedi Knight’s gaze seemed drawn by something, looking towards the foot of the mountain.

In the forest, at some unknown time, coiled a giant serpent-like Demon Spirit over dozens of meters long.

That giant serpent Demon Spirit had a single crown on its head, its entire body covered in scales like fire-burnt crystal, spewing a red flame glow from its mouth.

Wherever it passed, the trees immediately turned charred black, as if being carbonized by high heat.

The Jedi Knight emanated a red glow all over, like a red lightning bolt, charging down from the mountainside. As he neared the foot, he leapt up, gripping with both hands, wielding a blade light as if the Heaven-Slaying Blade, striking the giant serpent Demon Spirit head-on.

The giant serpent Demon Spirit opened its mouth, spewing a torrent of red flame glow.

The Jedi Knight slashed against the red flame glow, showing no sign of retreat, splitting the massive torrent of flame with the blood-red blade light.

Boom!

At the instant the blade light collided with the giant serpent Demon Spirit, the terrifying red glow burst upwards like a volcanic eruption, forming a massive red pillar of light, enveloping both the Jedi Knight and the giant serpent Demon Spirit in its glow.

The red pillar of light lingered for a long time before finally dispersing, revealing the Jedi Knight standing atop the giant serpent Demon Spirit’s corpse, its head cleaved in two, with its Demon Core nowhere to be found.

The Jedi Knight’s entire body shone with such intense luminescence it seemed about to explode, looking like glowing glass filled with fluorescent lamps, appearing almost like a glowing entity, its form barely discernible.

"S-level now!" Li Xiu looked on with delight.

Jedi Knight: Evolving Demon Spirit.

Level: S.

Quality: None.

Talent Skills: Blood Light Slash, Desperate Realm, Martial Spirit, Unrivaled National Hero, Jedi Knight.

The name of the last skill was the same as the Jedi Knight’s name, described as surpassing oneself, presumably a skill to stimulate potential.

It’s just unclear how the Jedi Knight and Unrivaled National Hero differ in this potential-stimulating all-out attack, as they seem somewhat redundant.

The Jedi Knight, having ascended to S-level, was like a tiger among sheep, with blade lights reaping the Frenzied Beasts in swathes.

Hordes of Frenzied Beasts were slaughtered in the blink of an eye, leaving the mountain covered with lifeless bodies.

Soon, the Black Death Demon King and Demigod Shana on the mountaintop had little left to do. Demigod Shana began picking up Demon Cores, devouring those of quality and tossing ordinary cores up to the summit.

Before long, a small pile of Demon Cores had formed atop the mountain, with a blue glow gradually rising from Demigod Shana’s body, as if about to ascend another level after consuming many Demon Cores.

"This trip wasn’t wasted, with the Jedi Knight reaching S-level, it seems Demigod Shana is about to leap two levels consecutively." Li Xiu looked towards the Spirit-Eating Tree, feeling it was a real treasure trove.

By letting the Spirit-Eating Tree lure in Demon Spirits, he could quickly amass Demon Cores, and with a few more groups, perhaps Demigod Shana might also rise to S-level.

While Demigod Shana continued devouring Demon Cores, the Jedi Knight on the other side had already decimated the Frenzied Beast herd, with few survivors left.

It’s unclear how many high-quality Demon Cores Demigod Shana had consumed, as he ate almost all the relatively high-grade Demon Cores he collected.

The blue glow on his body burned brighter and brighter, finally bursting forth, commencing yet another ascension.

From C-level, Demigod Shana ascended to B-level, with little change in appearance but having gained an additional skill.

Demigod Shana: Evolving Demon Spirit.

Level: B.

Quality: Radiant.

Talent Skills: Devouring God, Half-Heaven Demon, Final Requiem.

Demigod Shana’s skills were all rather peculiar, none standard, and as a gun and sword butcher with no musical instruments, how he produced a Requiem skill left Li Xiu somewhat speechless.

However, having a skill is better than none, and Li Xiu felt that perhaps Demigod Shana’s skills might serve a special purpose after all.

As Li Xiu was admiring Demigod Shana’s skills, the Jedi Knight’s slaughter had already concluded.

He returned to Li Xiu, sword in hand, his gaze falling on the Spirit-Eating Tree.

"Try the sword," Li Xiu said with a smile.

The Jedi Knight swung his sword at the Spirit-Eating Tree, with the overblown fluorescent blade light cutting a large gash in its trunk, one-third deep of its diameter. A couple more strikes, and the Demon Spirit Tree might well be severed.

The tree’s face turned pale, never expecting that by using the Spirit-Eating Tree to lure in so many Frenzied Beasts, not only could he not kill Li Xiu, but instead let his Demon Spirits ascend in succession.

Generally speaking, feeding Demon Spirits requires meticulous selection, using Demon Cores or Gemstones of the same type to ensure awakening talent skills upon ascension.

Li Xiu’s two Demon Spirits were clearly not of the same type, yet they both consumed these Frenzied Beasts’ Demon Cores, each awakening talent skills upon ascension, something the tree face had never anticipated.
