Nine Revolutions Star Transformation

Chapter 453: Chapter 467: Soul Slash

Chu Linfeng slowly put away the golden radiance, feeling for the first time the power of this attribute energy. This golden radiance seemed like countless sharp blades that could pierce through anything.

After calming his excitement, Chu Linfeng gradually settled down and conducted an introspection of his internal situation. He found that at this moment, his meridians indeed had an additional golden hue. The four elements did not display the restraining phenomenon that occurred when the water and fire elements first appeared, which made him very pleased. Now, only the wood element was missing.

The wood element symbolized vitality, the embodiment of life. Even without Sword Spirit telling him this, Chu Linfeng had a deep understanding. The source of energy within that Thousand-Year-Old Tree Demon in the Life and Death Forest was the best proof of this.

After another circulation, Chu Linfeng said, ”Sister Yue’Er, can I start practicing Wood Transformation now?”

”Yes, your practice speed is indeed very fast. Your comprehension of the Gold Element was a day quicker than I had imagined. Here’s the practice method for Wood Transformation, figure it out on your own!” Sword Spirit said.

Suddenly, the practice method of Wood Transformation appeared in Chu Linfeng’s mind again. It was similar to the content of the other transformations, with the only difference being one requirement for the successful practice of Wood Transformation: ’to be placed in a deadly situation before being reborn.’ This meant that only when truly facing death could one successfully practice it, making it quite unique among the Five Transformations.

”How do I practice this? Do I really have to face death?” Chu Linfeng said, frustrated.

”No martial skill is perfect, and the Nine Revolutions Star Transformation is no exception. ’Being placed in a deadly situation before being reborn’ doesn’t mean you need to truly die; you just need to suffer a serious injury before practicing it. This will require you to seize the opportunity,” Sword Spirit said.

Chu Linfeng fell into contemplation. He had never heard of needing to be seriously injured to practice a martial skill before, but the power of these Nine Transformations was indeed extraordinary. After a while, he said, ”I already have a method to practice this transformation, but it can’t be done here.”

”Oh? Tell me, let’s see if it’s feasible,” Sword Spirit said with a smile.

”The Carefree Palace Master’s strength is too formidable. If I fight her, she could likely take my life with just one move. I can only find someone at the First Layer of Saint Martial Realm to battle with, allowing them to seriously injure me while I also seriously injure them. This way, they won’t be able to pursue me, and I can hide underground to practice Wood Transformation.

The reason for doing this is that I don’t want anyone to know my secret; some incredible phenomena are likely to occur while practicing Wood Transformation,” Chu Linfeng said.

”Indeed, the Wood Spirit Pearl was acquired from within the Thousand-Year-Old Tree Demon. Wood represents vitality and all things, and during practice, you might turn into a tree or a shrub, which necessitates practicing somewhere completely undisturbed. Once you have succeeded and completely integrated all Five Elements Transformation, you will be able to return to normal, you must be mentally prepared,” Sword Spirit said.

”Are you saying I’ll turn into a tree after practicing Wood Transformation? How can a tree appear within the soil, and do I have to practice in another place?” Chu Linfeng asked in shock.

”Worthy of being Qingshuang’s reincarnation, you need to practice in an open place that is also undisturbed. Not underground or underwater. Such places are hard to find because it is not easy to find a powerful expert,” Sword Spirit said.

Chu Linfeng thought for a moment, then smiled and said, ”I already have someone in mind. I’ll look for her when the time comes.”

Immediately, Chu Linfeng took out the Cyan Frost Sword from his Storage Ring. Although he couldn’t practice Wood Transformation directly, he could practice the second move within the Cyan Frost Sword, so he immediately connected with the Demon Lord.

”Qingshuang, your rate of breakthrough is as terrifying as ever. In such a short time, you’ve reached the Fifth Layer of Divine Martial Realm. Here is the second move you need; it consumes a huge amount of Star Power. At your current level, you can probably only perform it once, and afterwards, you’ll collapse from exhaustion, so reserve it for desperate situations,” the Demon Lord’s voice immediately appeared in Chu Linfeng’s mind.

Then, some strange runes and unclear images appeared in his mind. Chu Linfeng wasn’t in a hurry to memorize these symbols and images because he knew the Sword Spirit could help him with it all.

”Demon Race, what strength is required to practice the third move?” Chu Linfeng asked.

”Wait until you break through to the Eighth Layer of Divine Martial Realm, then I’ll tell you, Qingshuang. Be careful; your current power is too weak. I’m afraid your brilliance might attract his attention, and then our entire plan would be ruined,” the Demon Lord said.

After obtaining the answers he wanted, Chu Linfeng withdrew his consciousness. The martial skills within the Cyan Frost Sword were indeed terrifying. Even with his current Chaotic Dragon Power, he could only execute the second move once, though even experts at the Seventh Level of Divine Martial Realm might not have as much power as he did.

He honestly didn’t know how Qingshuang managed to practice these before, but Chu Linfeng was unaware that even the past Qingshuang hadn’t finished practicing this ultimate martial skill. He couldn’t practice the last move either, due to lack of power. Had he practiced that move, perhaps he wouldn’t have needed to reincarnate.

After placing the Cyan Frost Sword back into the Storage Ring, Chu Linfeng asked Sword Spirit, ”Sister Yue’Er, have you figured out what these runes mean?”

”These runes might be complex for you, but they’re extremely simple for me. The martial skill within the Cyan Frost Sword should be a Saint Tier First Grade technique and may well be considered the most advanced martial skill in this world.

But to me, it’s really nothing special. I’ll tell you once you truly break through to that realm!” Sword Spirit said.

Chu Linfeng had become numb to Sword Spirit’s astonishments. Just considering the power of the Nine Revolutions Star Transformation was enough to understand, let alone the legendary martial skills like Ten Formulas Slash of Immortal Slaying she had used before. It’s tough to imagine how terrifying her true identity is.

Sword Spirit then explained to Chu Linfeng how to perform this move; the move was called Soul Slash. Even from the name, it’s clear what this sword targets.

”Lin Feng, this Soul Slash is an extremely rare martial skill. While its attack power isn’t particularly strong, it can gravely injure a person’s soul. That is much harder to heal than physical injuries, and you should grasp it well,” Sword Spirit said at this moment.

”Soul Slash? It only targets the soul, could this move turn someone into an idiot?” Chu Linfeng queried.

”Human souls are fragile, regardless of strength. When faced with an unbeatable opponent, performing Soul Slash when their soul is heavily wounded could be your chance for escape or reversal,” Sword Spirit said...

PS: Originally planned five updates for today, but plans can’t keep up with changes. Today is New Year’s Day, and now I need to go to the hospital because grandma fainted suddenly this evening. It’s tragic; the midnight update might be delayed. I’ll update when Xiao Xiao returns!
