Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start Chapter 202 179: The Perfection of Vajra Divine Power2

At this mont, Gu Chen was seated cross-legged in a cavern, his exposed skin shimring with a brilliant luster, like the finest mutton-fat jade, flawless and pure with a hint of fragrance. Even his hair glead crystal-clear, twinkling with strands of light.

His physique was lean yet robust, harboring explosive power within. Gu Chen, as he was now, resembled a humanoid tyrannosaur, every movent brimming with boundless strength capable of toppling mountains and splitting the earth.

Such terrifying physical might alone ant that a slap from him would be more than enough to overpower the majority of warriors at the Gang Qi Stage.

If he were to confront soone like Zhao Xingxuan, a great master at the peak of the Gang Qi Stage, Gu Chen would not find himself in as awkward and passive a position as before. At this point, Gu Chen had indeed acquired the strength for battle!

His success in killing Zhao Xingxuan during the day had also been due in no small part to luck.

After all, Zhao Xingxuan had been unaware that he could activate the Divine Weapon Blood Shadow Sword, which was why Gu Chen had been able to slay him.

If Zhao Xingxuan had been prepared, even with the Divine Weapon in hand, it would have been far from easy for Gu Chen to kill him at his current level of cultivation.

Looking at the re twenty points of cultivation points left on the interface, Gu Chen added them to his cultivation base, and in an instant, his years of cultivation leaped from five hundred eighty to six hundred.

Twenty points were far too few to deduce martial skills, which was why Gu Chen chose to assign them to his cultivation instead.

After increasing his cultivation, Gu Chen picked up the Blood Shadow Sword lying beside him and began to examine it closely.

Divine weapons, like treasure weapons, are divided into three grades: upper, middle, and lower. The Blood Shadow Sword was a low-grade divine weapon.

However, one should not underestimate a low-grade divine weapon. Each one possesses trendous might, and the Blood Shadow Sword is no exception.

Only a martial arts grandmaster can fully unleash the power of a low-grade divine weapon. This is why, typically, only martial arts grandmasters possess divine weapons.

Other warriors below the rank of grandmaster, even if they have divine weapons, cannot fully utilize their power, as the expenditure to wield a divine weapon is terrifyingly vast. Even now, with six hundred years of cultivated strength, Gu Chen still found it extrely difficult to fully activate the Blood Shadow Sword, unable to unleash the weapon's power to its limit.

And every usage represented a significant drain for Gu Chen, aning he could only treat the Blood Shadow Sword as a trump card, to be utilized at critical monts.

The art of forging divine weapons, too, has been passed down from ancient tis. In the current land of Jiuzhou, the number of blacksmiths capable of crafting divine weapons is exceedingly rare and highly sought after, with only a handful in the entire world.

Consequently, most of the divine weapons in the world today are relics from ancient tis, with freshly forged divine weapons being exceedingly rare.

It is precisely for this reason that divine weapons are so precious and desired by countless warriors.

According to information Gu Chen accessed from the Jing Tian Departnt's archives, divine weapons are made of unique materials that can retain the martial intent of their previous wielders. It was for this very reason that Gu Chen carefully scrutinized the Blood Shadow Sword.

Especially given that the Blood Shadow Sword's previous owner was an ancestor of the Zhang family, a martial arts grandmaster. Gu Chen was indeed interested in the martial intent of such a grandmaster.

He had never encountered such a formidable individual before and was curious just how vast a gulf lay between him and such a mighty figure.

The Blood Shadow Sword was completely crimson, about three feet long, its material unknown, with a blade as crystalline as blood jade and exceedingly hard. Not even Gu Chen's current strength could leave so much as the slightest mark on it.

If it had been a treasure weapon, without the enhancent of a warrior's strength, Gu Chen would have been able to shatter it barehanded, easily breaking it into several pieces.

As Gu Chen exerted his strength, the Blood Shadow Sword vibrated faintly, as if expressing its dissatisfaction.

After all, it had not yet fully accepted Gu Chen as its master. To completely refine the divine weapon, given Gu Chen's level of power, was going to take so ti.

Once a divine weapon is refined, it forms a slight connection with the user's mind. At that point, one could wield the weapon with a re thought, the sword arriving with the will, no different from the legendary sword control skill.

Gu Chen lifted the Blood Shadow Sword, placing it horizontally before his brow, and then he calmly focused his mind, turning it into a touchstone that reached out to the blade.

Hum!

In that mont, the Blood Shadow Sword trembled. As Gu Chen connected with his spirit, he felt the incredibly sharp, overwhelmingly transcendent sword intent contained within.

This sword intent seed able to sever heaven and earth; suddenly, Gu Chen's spirit was deeply shaken. In the presence of this sword intent, he felt insignificant, like an ant facing a dragon—utterly fragile and unreachable, the two were incomparable.

Such was the strength of a martial arts grandmaster. rely a wisp of sword intent could convey the essence of their power, giving a glimpse into the grandmaster's true capability.

Originally, the Zhang family ancestor left this sword intent within the Blood Shadow Sword for his descendants, but since his passing, the Zhang family had declined, and not a single person was qualified to comprehend the intent he had left behind.

Therefore, after hundreds of years, this sword intent had fallen into Gu Chen's hands.

In its presence, Gu Chen concentrated all of his ntal faculties and slowly allowed his spirit to penetrate it.

Boom!

At once, the scene shifted, and Gu Chen "saw" a dignified middle-aged man wielding a red longsword, demonstrating a series of profound sword techniques.

Instantly, Gu Chen realized that this man had to be the Zhang family ancestor, the martial arts grandmaster from hundreds of years ago.

In this perspective, Gu Chen could clearly see every move of the grandmaster, including the thod he used to circulate energy within his body.

At that mont, it was as if he inhabited the body of the Zhang family ancestor, becoming a grandmaster himself, quietly comprehending every detail of the sword techniques being practiced.

As he vicariously practiced the sword techniques through the Zhang family ancestor, Gu Chen's mind was flooded with inspirations, gaining many new insights into the way of the sword.

Although he had only learned the middle-grade Astonishing Swan Swordsmanship Skills in swordplay, through the interface, Gu Chen had also mastered many martial skills, bringing them to perfection, including two Superior Martial Skills.

It is known that each improvent ca with relevant martial experience that infused Gu Chen's mind. Therefore, despite his youth, when it ca to martial knowledge, he could be considered highly seasoned. With the comprehensive understanding that ca from watching the Zhang family ancestor execute sword techniques before him, Gu Chen naturally ca upon many new understandings.

After an unknown amount of ti had passed, Gu Chen felt ntally exhausted. Knowing his limits, he withdrew.

But then, his attention shifted because he noticed an additional martial skill had surprisingly appeared on the interface.
