Chapter 113: Chapter 99: One Sword, Ten Thousand Bones Wither—Ascending to the Tower Ascension Realm! (3-in-1)

"Tick-tock! Tick-tock!"

Chen Kuang held the lute and ascended step by step, his entire body soaked in blood. His coarse white hemp clothing had been stained red and black by the blood, pooling at the hems under the force of gravity, dripping continuously.

On the steps, a long, winding trail was left behind. Along the journey, corpses lay scattered everywhere, piled up so high they were indistinguishable from each other.

Before him were the ruins of the Imperial Palace, the same Jinghe Hall where his original body had died, where Emperor Liang, Su Yu, was beheaded.

After Su Yu’s death, Li Hongling dismembered the body and threw it behind the hall, preparing to burn it along with the other deceased palace attendants, while the head was hung high before Jinghe Hall as a warning to the people of Liang Kingdom.

In this reincarnation, due to the deadly battle the body was experiencing outside, Chen Kuang had already explained his intentions to the Little Princess Su Huaiying.

He could only say he intended to use reincarnation to find a way to defeat the enemy, without mentioning his passive stacking.

Su Huaiying, while unable to comprehend what Chen Kuang gained from these seemingly meaningless cycles, still maintained her trust in him.

Memories from childhood were becoming clearer, deepening her trust in Chen Kuang’s abilities.

Moreover, she was trapped in an illusion, her body unconscious, leaving her and her mother’s lives entirely in Chen Kuang’s hands.

If she couldn’t trust him, who could she trust?

The Little Princess’s cooperation was like adding wings to a tiger for Chen Kuang.

Her clear understanding of the potential developments at the initial stage of the illusion and her significance to Zhang Zhizhou, a bizarre character, meant they could fully utilize the latter’s abilities to achieve things beyond the capabilities of either alone.

Of course, it was absolutely impossible to resist a Saint.

Some possibilities had already been practiced; now it was not difficult to replicate them.

For example, this time.

Chen Kuang intended to return to the battlefield, ensuring the Little Princess’s safety while truly unleashing the Grass Cutting Killing Sword.

This was his final card.

A swordsmanship that made Huo Hengxuan earn the name of "God of Slaughter."

The Grass Cutting Sword Song played a crucial role in killing Li Hongling. Had it not stockpiled tremendous killing intent by charging from inside to outside the Imperial City before breaking through, intensifying his will, perhaps "Two Dragons Bathe the Buddha" wouldn’t have been so domineering.

Yet even then, the sword suspended in his mind hadn’t descended.

After killing Li Hongling, due to the urgency to escape, Chen Kuang refrained from further slaughter, causing the killing intent accumulated in the sword to gradually dissipate.

Chen Kuang roughly estimated that he must have killed at least five thousand people charging from inside to outside the Imperial City, and that’s just on the conservative side.

Back then, he had practically turned a blind eye to killing.

However, the pressure from the ensuing battle with the Saint dominated his survival instinct; had it not, he probably would’ve continued the slaughter.

It became evident that the Grass Cutting Sword Song had negative effects, easily muddling one’s consciousness.

Mastery of the sword formula requires reaching the Sea Breaking Realm, establishing a Sea of Consciousness, and nurturing the Primordial Spirit to stabilize the mind, free from external disturbances.

Otherwise, one risks becoming a flesh puppet mindlessly driven to slaughter.

Yet, this Grass Cutting Sword Song is undeniably powerful...

Chen Kuang originally thought he might indeed need to reach the Sea Breaking Realm to attempt using the Grass Cutting Sword Song again.

But the "Dual Focus" passive offered him a different possibility.

If, within the illusion, he amassed enough killing intent to trigger the sword.

Then only that part of consciousness within the illusion would be affected, and with the "Stable Aura" passive, even after the "Dual Focus" ends and consciousness merges, he’d stabilize himself, not being controlled by the sword.

When Chen Kuang grasped "Vajra Bodhi," he opened his eyes in a new cycle and immediately began action.

The Vajra Seat is the flesh, the Bodhi Tree is the soul.

"Vajra Bodhi" means, in an instant, an indestructible flesh and an immortal soul.

In this brief instant, as long as Chen Kuang could bring that sword down, he was confident in severely injuring or even killing Bai Fen.

Because the sword was also a visual imagery within his soul.

The scope of "Vajra Bodhi" included the sword, rendering it invincible!

A sword that is both invincible and invisible, wanting to kill, even if the opponent is in the Moon Embrace Realm, cannot be stopped.

Originally, the amount of killing intent required to bring down this sword was extraordinarily immense.

At this moment in reality, it was entirely impossible.

It required not only strong enough strength but also a significant amount of time.

Fortunately, the time flow within the illusion and reality varies significantly; days in reality are hundreds of years in the illusion.

As long as Chen Kuang wished, in this instant, he could complete a reincarnation!

In this cycle, Chen Kuang decided to utilize Zhang Zhizhou.

Before leaving the prison cell, he released everyone but specifically singled out Zhang Zhizhou, revealing his identity face-to-face.

Zhang Zhizhou was startled but chose not to play dumb.

He looked at Chen Kuang, "How do you know?"

Chen Kuang responded, "I once met the scholar."

Since it’s within the illusion, he casually mentioned it, assuming that scholar from Freedom Mountain probably wouldn’t know...
