Urban Cultivation with a Demonic System-Chapter 366 - 307: Blood Corruption Sword! Upgrade!
Su Yuan’s head... seems to be a bit too sharp.
Even a casual strike from Taibai Phecda has a guaranteed hit effect for cultivators below the Nascent Soul Stage.
Yet, Su Yuan, not even a Golden Core, could dodge his sword. That’s just too ridiculous.
With a try-it-and-see mindset, Taibai Phecda took another swing at Su Yuan’s head.
Bang——
Su Yuan flew backward, his head embedding into the wall.
That felt satisfying.
So the fact that Su Yuan dodged earlier must have been just a coincidence.
I got spooked, thinking I, as a teacher, couldn’t even discipline a student.
Seeing Su Yuan crawl out of the wall covered in dust, Taibai Phecda felt an indescribable satisfaction.
But in the next moment, Chi Yuan Sword, realizing belatedly, showed an angry expression on her delicate face:
"Taibai Phecda! You... you even hit your own disciple! I hate you!"
With that, she quickly stepped forward to help Su Yuan up.
Su Yuan rubbed his head where a big bump had formed and held Chi Yuan’s small hand, saying:
"Chi Yuan, after all, your master is your savior and treats you as if you were his own. What you said just now hurt him too much."
"And it’s perfectly natural for a master to discipline his disciple. Let’s just bear with it and it’ll pass."
"After he passes in a hundred years, we’ll inherit everything, his gold coins included, right?"
Hearing Su Yuan’s gentle comforting words, Chi Yuan’s teary eyes, which seemed ready to slice Taibai Phecda at any moment, finally softened.
Taibai Phecda: "..."
Don’t dare open my eyes, hoping it’s all an illusion.
I’m still here! And they’re already discussing my affairs after I die?
Perhaps I should just clean house right now!
...
In the end, Taibai Phecda suppressed the idea of cleaning house and took Su Yuan to the Land of Blood Corruption Sword Inheritance.
As for why Chi Yuan Sword could transform into a Nascent Soul Spirit Sword, he didn’t inquire.
Su Yuan had secrets for more than just a day or two; he always got by with a heap of flimsy excuses.
That kid has the patience to make up stories, but Taibai Phecda doesn’t have the patience to listen.
Deep underground of the Evil Extermination Academy, Su Yuan descended an elevator into a vast cavern exuding a sense of primal and natural wonder.
"Keep walking forward. The deepest part of the cave is where the first stage of Divinity Transformation Inheritance, the Blood Corruption Sword, is," Taibai Phecda said blandly.
Su Yuan took a deep breath and marched toward the cave’s depths.
After walking a bit, he gradually realized something was amiss.
Though the cave walked through earlier was rugged, it was still a normal natural landscape. But a bit further in, Su Yuan noticed the walls of the cave gradually covered with writhing flesh.
The scenery ahead was wrapped in a peculiar blood-red light.
This feeling was extremely sinister, almost like... he was home.
Su Yuan’s steps quickened involuntarily.
After reaching deep inside the cave, it was completely enveloped in flesh. If his steps were slow, his feet would get entangled by the writhing blood-flesh tendrils underground.
After about fifteen minutes, a bubbling Blood Lake appeared in front of Su Yuan.
Blooms resembling tentacles grew flourishingly on the lake’s shore.
Taibai Phecda stood on the shore, calmly explaining:
"The essence of the Blood Corruption Sword lies within the Blood Pool. Absorb its power to form the Corruption Dao Seed and complete the first stage of this inheritance."
"But be careful; the closer you get to the Blood Pool’s center, the stronger the Blood Corruption essence. Don’t venture too deep."
"For your initial practice, just experience it briefly on the outskirts and pull back within fifteen minutes..."
But before Taibai Phecda could finish, Su Yuan’s voice calmly interrupted:
"No need for that."
No sooner said than done, Su Yuan, gripping the Chi Yuan Sword, took a step forward, instantly standing at the Blood Lake’s center.
It seems the Blood Lake, sensing Su Yuan’s presence, started to boil. A large amount of blood rose and formed a lotus platform, enveloping Su Yuan within its petals.
A blood-colored bud hovered over the Blood Lake, breathtakingly beautiful.
This spontaneous offering of inheritance from the Blood Lake had never occurred before.
Seeing this, Taibai Phecda let out a dumbfounded laugh.
Seems I worried too much.
The Power of Blood Corruption has its own will, and given Su Yuan’s demonic talent, it would cherish him like a treasure.
Whether Su Yuan was by the lake’s edge or its center, the result would be the same.
Inside the blood-colored lotus platform, Su Yuan sat cross-legged.
Endless Power of Blood Corruption poured into Su Yuan’s body, then into his Lifebound Sword, Chi Yuan Sword.
Fortunately, Su Yuan had a Divine Spirit Root, quickly integrating and refining the power. Without it, he might risk bursting from being overwhelmed.
"Doesn’t the Divinity Transformation Inheritance have any restraint? Why is it so enthusiastic, like it hasn’t seen an heir in ten thousand years?"
Su Yuan found it odd.
No trials? No insights? What happened to the erosion by the Power of Blood Corruption?
Nothing at all, just freely given!
Though puzzled, Su Yuan practiced with great satisfaction. In less than three hours, a Dao Seed as radiant as a flower bud formed in Su Yuan’s Dantian.
Though it just formed, it meant Su Yuan achieved the first stage of the Divinity Transformation Inheritance.
Both Qiu Tianze and Pan Yunqing were at this stage.
And the Corruption Dao Seed they labored for months to complete might not be as strong as Su Yuan’s newly formed one.
It’s not about talent but the difference in compatibility.
For someone too righteous to cultivate Demonic Swordsmanship, it’s naturally an uphill task.
Conversely, someone too evil finds Demonic Swordsmanship a complementary fit.
"So, am I directly fast-tracked now?"
Su Yuan couldn’t help but think.
Unexpectedly, just after the first semester of his first year, he’s already at the candidate graduate level, with great potential in the Immortal Dao!
After suppressing his excitement a bit, Su Yuan quickly pulled up the system panel, checking his long-held ’Demon Technique Level Up (Selective)’ reward.
As expected, a new option ’Blood Corruption Sword’ appeared in the selection project.
Su Yuan eagerly anticipated what changes would occur after the first stage of the Divinity Transformation Inheritance upgrades.
As for whether upgrading this swordsmanship would prevent training the subsequent two stages of the inheritance?
Su Yuan had carefully considered this.
Checking all upgraded Demon Techniques, he found these upgraded techniques retain the effects of the previous level completely, unlike Digimon evolving into a new species per level.
Under this premise, even if Blood Corruption Sword upgrades, it won’t affect the subsequent inheritance training.
With this thought, Su Yuan willed it, "Demon Technique Upgrade!"
In the next moment, a vast ocean of knowledge flooded Su Yuan’s mind!
Simultaneously, the entire Blood Lake quivered, with greater and purer Power of Blood Corruption madly rushing into Su Yuan’s Dantian, speeding up the transformation of the Corruption Dao Seed.
After an unknown period, Su Yuan finally digested the knowledge in his mind realms and adapted to the swelling pain in his Dantian.
He eagerly turned to the system panel.
[Blood Corruption Sword: Possesses the power to corrupt everything. After a living being comes in contact with Blood Corruption Sword Qi, they will continuously bleed, serving as a prerequisite swordsmanship for the full inheritance of the Decaying Demon Monarch.]
[Upgrade Effect: Blood Transformation: Due to the transformation of the Corruption Dao Seed, the blood loss effect of the Blood Corruption Sword Qi on the target increases significantly, causing blood loss at a fixed rate of 3% per second.]
[Note: For a cultivator higher by one Great Realm, multiple consecutive hits are required for the blood transformation effect to take place.]
"Percentage bleed effect?"
Seeing the upgrade effect left Su Yuan shocked.
Damn system, you’ve really outdone yourself this time!
Although the upgrade didn’t add any extra new effects to the Blood Corruption Sword... just the percentage bleed effect alone surpasses any ability!
3% blood loss per second means that as long as the target doesn’t have a second health bar, they will inevitably die within thirty-four seconds of being hit!
What’s even more terrifying is that this ability can even affect Golden Core cultivators!
