Chapter 93: Heavenly Fall Three Forms!

Chapter 93: Chapter 93: Heavenly Fall Three Forms!

“It’s about time!”

After battling for so long, Luo Cheng felt his entire body aching. If this went on, it would be hard to avoid injury.

Seeing Gu Lingfeng and Yuan Zhilan successfully retrieve the Primordial Spirit Fruit and leave, Luo Cheng decided not to linger. He turned and departed immediately.

Roar!

The Black-scaled Python also noticed the Primordial Spirit Fruit was missing and instantly went berserk. Its roar was unusually sharp, and its fierce pupils locked onto Luo Cheng, radiating terrifying killing intent.

Rumble!

As soon as Luo Cheng entered the Pine Forest, he felt the ground begin to quake violently. He turned back for a glance and his heart skipped a beat.

The Black-scaled Python’s entire body was shrouded in a thin layer of gray mist as it surged forward. Along the path, pine trees requiring two people to embrace were severed on contact!

“Damn it!”

Luo Cheng cursed under his breath, turning and quickening his pace as he fled down the mountain.

Man and beast chased each other. Wherever they passed, trees were destroyed, and the ground was plowed into a fissure several meters wide!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Suddenly, enormous trees plummeted from above, crashing repeatedly around Luo Cheng.

While pursuing, the Black-scaled Python used its tail to hurl massive trees at Luo Cheng relentlessly.

Thanks to his sharp senses, Luo Cheng was not threatened by these enormous trees.

However, as he continuously dodged, his speed significantly decreased, and the distance between him and the Black-scaled Python grew smaller and smaller.

“It’s just a few Primordial Spirit Fruits. Is this worth risking your life for?”

Anger surged in Luo Cheng’s heart.

At that moment, the Black-scaled Python curled its body and hurled three colossal trees into the air, aiming directly for Luo Cheng’s position.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The massive trees smashed into the ground with unbelievable force, shattering into pieces immediately.

Although Luo Cheng wasn’t struck, the resulting shockwave threw him off balance.

Seizing the opportunity, the Black-scaled Python lunged forward ferociously.

“Let’s settle this once and for all!”

Knowing it was pointless to keep running, a cold gleam flashed in Luo Cheng’s eyes. He stomped hard against the ground, charging straight at the Black-scaled Python instead of retreating.

“Heavenly Fall First Form—Wind Stopping!”

Leaping into the air, Luo Cheng twisted his body. The Meteor Sword shone like a falling star in the night sky, flashing as it thrust fiercely toward the seven-inch vital spot of the Black-scaled Python.

The attack was so sudden that the Black-scaled Python couldn’t react in time. However, the gray mist around its seven-inch spot thickened sharply in defense.

Slash!

The Meteor Sword struggled to break through the gray mist, plunging half a foot deep but going no further!

“So strong!”

Luo Cheng hadn’t anticipated such a powerful defense from the gray mist. The attack had drained 60-70% of his strength!

Otherwise, with that unexpected strike, he could have floored the Black-scaled Python!

Roar!

The Black-scaled Python, now in pain, completely lost its sanity. Its eyes glowed with intense bloodlust as its massive body twisted, and its tail whipped fiercely toward Luo Cheng.

No longer daring to clash head-on, Luo Cheng quickly raised his sword to block.

Bam!

Just a glancing blow felt like being smashed with a giant hammer. Luo Cheng tasted a metallic tang in his mouth as he was sent flying.

Crash!

The residual force of the tail swipe didn’t diminish, slamming into the ground below. With a thunderous echo, half the mountainside shattered and caved in, accompanied by booming vibrations!

“Damn it!”

Luo Cheng’s brows furrowed as his retreat path was entirely cut off by the collapse!

Roar!

The Black-scaled Python opened its massive maw wide, aiming to swallow Luo Cheng whole!

“Beast! If you want to kill me, you won’t have it easy either!”

A fierce glint flashed in Luo Cheng’s eyes. He stopped fleeing, gripped the Meteor Sword tightly, and slashed toward the Black-scaled Python!

At this moment, Luo Cheng’s mind was utterly clear. Only one thought remained—his sword strike must be faster! Stronger! Swifter! More ferocious!

As he unleashed the sword skill, a sudden clarity washed over him. With a subtle wrist movement, the originally intended Heavenly Fall Second Form seamlessly transformed into another sword technique.

At the same time, the Essence Energy Vortex within Luo Cheng’s Dantian trembled slightly, releasing a wisp of Essence Energy that surged into the Meteor Sword.

In an instant, the Meteor Sword vanished. Only faint ripples of displaced air hinted at its existence.

“Heavenly Fall Third Form—Electric Passage!”

Luo Cheng’s eyes opened wide, his piercing gaze akin to thunder splitting the night. With a decisive swing, he delivered the strike.

Whiz!

A barely tangible streak of Sword Qi extended from the Meteor Sword, slashing fiercely at the Black-scaled Python’s head.

Thud!

The Black-scaled Python’s immense body was blasted away by the Sword Qi!

A deep, bone-revealing gash over a meter long appeared beneath its jaw, dripping with fresh blood.

At that moment, the frenzied Black-scaled Python finally snapped back to its senses. Casting a terrified glance at Luo Cheng, it turned and fled.

“It ran?”

Luo Cheng watched the Black-scaled Python vanish into the forest, momentarily stunned, before letting out a heavy exhale.

“So exhausting!”

As the tension drained from him, Luo Cheng felt as though all his strength had been sapped, barely able to hold onto the Meteor Sword.

The strike not only drained his body but seemed to exhaust even his spirit.

“Was that Sword Qi just now? The third form of the Heavenly Fall Sword Technique, isn’t it supposed to be unattainable before reaching the Tongxuan Realm?”

Heavenly Fall Third Form—Electric Passage. That move required mobilizing Essence Energy to condense Sword Qi, and only Martial Artists at the Third Stage of Tongxuan were supposed to be able to master it.

Although Luo Cheng had previously attempted to comprehend the third form, his cultivation level had always held him back from practicing it successfully.

Yet moments ago, facing the Black-scaled Python, Luo Cheng reached a state of mental clarity. Focused solely on slaying the beast, he inexplicably executed the Heavenly Fall Third Form—Electric Passage and even condensed Sword Qi, severely injuring the Black-scaled Python in a single blow!

All of this, however, happened unintentionally.

If asked to replicate it now, he’d find it nearly impossible.

“Being able to unleash Sword Qi… if I can fully master this move, I’d be nearly invincible beneath the Tongxuan Third Stage!”

“Still, the energy cost of this move is too steep. If that strike hadn’t driven off the Black-scaled Python, I’d be a sitting duck by now.”

Luo Cheng sighed, grateful for his luck.

The sword strike had nearly drained all his Essence Qi, vitality, and spirit.

If it hadn’t repelled the Black-scaled Python, the consequences would’ve been unimaginable!

“The Black-scaled Python might return. I should leave!”

Shaking his head, Luo Cheng brushed aside thoughts of the sword technique. Dragging his weary body, he prepared to depart, when a faint moan caught his attention.

Glancing up, Luo Cheng’s face showed surprise.

Amid fallen trees lay a bloodied figure—none other than Lin Jintai.

It appeared Lin Jintai had fallen here after the Black-scaled Python caused the mountain’s collapse.

As a Martial Artist in the Fifth Layer of the Transcendence Realm, with mercury-like blood and a body tempered to the extreme, Lin Jintai’s vitality was astonishing. Even with such severe injuries, he hadn’t yet perished.

“Let me end your suffering.”

Shaking his head, Luo Cheng stepped forward and ended Lin Jintai’s life with a single sword stroke before sitting down cross-legged to begin devouring the Martial Soul.

Buzz!

A Martial Soul in the form of a five-star luminous bird had barely formed before it vanished into Luo Cheng’s palm.

Recently, Luo Cheng had been experimenting with ways to minimize the commotion during his devouring.

Now, he could immediately absorb the Martial Soul upon its manifestation, making it hard to detect unless one closely observed.

After absorbing Lin Jintai’s Martial Soul, Luo Cheng felt his stamina recover by about 30%, with his spirit gradually refreshing as well.

“With my current strength, it’s still too difficult to deal with a Two-star Overlord Level Demon Beast…”

“But, once I master the Heavenly Fall Third Form or break through to the Sixth Layer of the Transcendence Realm, killing the Black-scaled Python will no longer be a challenge!”

Casting a glance at the Python’s retreat direction, Luo Cheng exhaled slowly.

“It’s time to head back! I hope Gu Lingfeng and the others are safe. With the Primordial Spirit Fruit in hand, it won’t be long before I can impact the Sixth Layer of the Transcendence Realm—or even the Third Stage of Tongxuan!”

Noticing the late hour, Luo Cheng sheathed the Meteor Sword and began descending along the shattered mountain path.
