Chapter 1133: Chapter 1135: Evolution_1 Chapter 1133: Chapter 1135: Evolution_1 Just as Song Jian was prepared to fight to the death, the stone tower fell, once again pressing down upon the multi-armed demon that had just struggled to its feet. This time, the tall stone tower completely crushed the multi-armed demon underneath it.
A critical hit worth millions in damage floated up from the top of the tower, this strike directly taking out more than a third of the demon's Vitality Points.
With all seven levels of the tower occupied, there was no way to keep it suppressed, and after only a few seconds of stalemate, the multi-armed demon managed to send the stone tower flying with just one arm.
The Sword Qi Stone Tower slammed hard against the cave's rocky walls, then slowly disintegrated.
“What a pity…”
At this moment, the multi-armed demon stood swaying on the spot, seeming to struggle just to remain upright, but the malevolent aura it emitted did not diminish in the slightest, instead, it burned furiously like flames.
Its blood-red eyes were fixed on Song Jian, murderous intent filling every corner of the cave, “Your sword moves are incomplete, otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to stand before you now…”
As the multi-armed demon spoke, it walked towards Song Jian, with each step its aura expanded a bit more. It had been utterly unable to withstand the previous Sword Qi Stone Tower, having nearly brushed the hem of the death goddess' skirt, but for some unknown reason, such a robust strike hadn't killed it.
It even felt that the move was unfinished, as if the sequence had been abruptly cut off, leaving the multi-armed demon immensely relieved, but this only strengthened its resolve to kill Song Jian.
In reality, the only reason it felt there were moves that hadn't been released was because all seven levels of the Sword Qi Stone Tower had already been filled; otherwise, it would not have escaped that final blow.
Song Jian took a deep breath and glanced at his skill bar, where there was an Eclipse Shattered Light Slash legendary skill that he had never used. This skill was incredibly powerful, but its side effects were equally severe. If it didn't kill the opponent, Song Jian would become extremely weak, and at that point, he wouldn't even need the multi-armed demon to act — the surrounding magma environment might be enough to kill him.
Hesitating for a moment, Song Jian still didn't dare to use the move. With a thought, he deployed the Sword Shadow Clone Skill, and as the clone appeared and rushed towards the multi-armed demon, suddenly countless Sword Qi materialized out of thin air above the demon's head, beginning to condense and swirl together.
“What, what's going on?” Song Jian looked up in surprise, and as more and more Sword Qi gathered above the multi-armed demon's head, it gradually formed into a spinning mass. The center of the mass crackled with lightning, exuding a terrifying might.
The multi-armed demon also stopped in its tracks and let the Sword Shadow Clone's longsword slash at its body, its face showing a shocked expression, “How, how is this possible…”
In just a few seconds, a giant eye emerged from the center of the mass, this cyclopean eye staring down at the multi-armed demon much like the eye of a deity. The multi-armed demon trembled all over, rigid, daring not to move an inch, feeling as though it had just been born, powerless, and was being regarded as food by a beast from the Abyss.
The multi-armed demon's mind went blank, every part of its energy being locked onto by the giant eye above it, leaving it no chance to dodge or escape.
A dazzling white light burst forth from the eye, like a laser beam shooting towards the multi-armed demon;
This brilliant white beam illuminated the entire cave, and Song Jian even had to close his eyes and use his arms to block it, to give his eyes some relief.
Several seconds later, Song Jian finally felt the white light disappear. He then lowered his arms and opened his eyes. Although that single eye had not looked directly at him, Song Jian still felt a shudder of dread in the face of that chilling, murderous white light.
“Is this the fifth stage of the Thousand Swords Art, the Sword Qi Heavenly Eye?” A sudden enlightenment surged in Song Jian's heart as he seemed to grasp the origin of that solitary eye.
“What Sword Qi Heavenly Eye? That's more like the eye of a deity. Who could withstand such a strike?” Song Jian gaped at the massive pit in front of him. The Abyss multi-armed demon was nowhere to be found, as if it had never appeared, and the magma on the ground was bubbling towards where the multi-armed demon had been. Soon enough, this place would turn back into a magma lake.
Scattered around the edge of this giant pit, with a diameter of over ten meters, lay a dozen items of different colors, one of which emitted a purplish-red quality glow that caught Song Jian's eye.
An epic item!
At this moment, Song Jian disregarded the epic item, still immersed in the terror of the strike that had just occurred.
“If it weren't for the fact that all seven levels of the Sword Qi Stone Tower were occupied, preventing a fatal strike on the multi-armed demon, the terrifying Sword Qi Heavenly Eye probably wouldn't even have evolved…” murmured Song Jian inwardly.
Originally believing that the Sword Qi Stone Tower was the final evolution stage of the Thousand Swords Art, Song Jian now felt that he knew nothing about this legendary skill.
However, it was then that Song Jian suddenly felt that the Sword Qi Stone Tower, which was absorbing the Shadow Demon to convert it into leveling Experience Points, had four of its levels extinguish abruptly, leaving only three levels where light still shone.
After pondering for a moment, Song Jian also came to understand that with his current level of the Thousand Swords Art, he was simply incapable of invoking the fifth evolutionary stage, the Sword Qi Heavenly Eye. This move had been evolved entirely by consuming the energy of four boss levels within the Sword Qi Stone Tower, barely executed.
If he wanted to freely execute the Sword Qi Heavenly Eye in the future, Song Jian would need to continuously improve the level of the Thousand Swords Art!
Feeling that the Sword Qi Stone Tower's absorption time was cut by more than half, Song Jian shook his head slightly. No matter what, this was a profitable encounter; it not only let Song Jian learn of the next evolution stage of the Thousand Swords Art ahead of time but also directly eliminated a level 120 dominion-class boss. Setting aside the epic item, the combat experience alone had significantly advanced Song Jian's progress.
At this moment, Song Jian's Experience Points had reached level 60, 97%, almost enough to level up right away–indicative of how substantial the combat experience provided by the Abyss multi-armed demon was.
“Can you release my companions now?” Song Jian called out loudly into the void.
A light laugh echoed in the cave, and suddenly, a two-meter-tall elliptical Teleportation Gate appeared not far away. A girl's voice sounded, “Come on out. I'm quite pleased with your performance. Heh, I'm looking forward to seeing how you'll do in the Imperial Sword Sect even more now…”
With a cold snort, Song Jian picked up all the spoils of battle and walked towards the Teleportation Gate.
