On the battlefield, Li Xiaotian closed his eyes, his mind replaying the scene of the Gu family's ancestor, while he repeatedly practiced the Sky-Shattering Saber Technique in his heart.
One saber to split heaven and earth, created by the invincible, impossible for those below the invincible to comprehend, thus it was split into thirteen sabers.
Were the thirteen sabers truly just increasing in attack power with each strike?
Li Xiaotian pondered, recalling the question Gu Wentian had asked him that day.
If it were merely about attack power, why split it into thirteen sabers? And why combine them into one after the thirteen?
No! Attack power was only one part; there must be other layers.
Li Xiaotian's mind raced, envisioning countless possibilities.
Speed? Will? Or perhaps even laws?
Li Xiaotian's eyeballs darted continuously, imagining himself in a dead, silent space filled with despair, and his task was to unleash a saber strike to break through this dire situation.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Li Xiaotian's mind; he seemed to be overthinking.
The so-called Sky-Shattering Saber Technique was passed down by Gu to his descendants, and the strong of the Gu family were all skilled in the Great Dao of the Saber.
Therefore, cultivating the Sky-Shattering Saber Technique not only granted immense attack power but, more importantly, made it easier for the Gu family to comprehend the Great Dao of the Saber.
However, his was the Great Dao of Devouring, completely unrelated to the Great Dao of the Saber, which was why he had been at a loss.
Moreover, Li Xiaotian had another guess: that Gu had only passed down the Sky-Shattering Saber Technique to give his descendants a saber technique with formidable attack power?
Wasn't it meant to inspire descendants to comprehend their own saber techniques based on the Sky-Shattering Saber Technique? Or even stronger saber techniques!
Yes, that was it!
With this thought, Li Xiaotian felt a surge of excitement; he had a direction.
Even if he didn't know if it was correct, he could try it. If it worked, he would have suitable offensive moves in the future!
That was to fuse it with his Great Dao of Devouring and comprehend his own offense!
Shattering the sky! Shattering the sky! It was to break through the void, to slay powerful enemies!
And wasn't this precisely his current situation? Trapped in peril, yet still needing to find a way to defeat the formidable enemy, Pu Bucheng!
In a flash, Li Xiaotian confirmed his idea, and in the outside world, only an instant had passed.
The purpose of shattering the sky was to break through the void; why couldn't he devour this void himself?
Merging the attack power of Sky-Shattering with his Great Dao of Devouring, the combined power would definitely be greater than one plus one!
With this thought, Li Xiaotian's mind rapidly practiced, recalling the scene when he first comprehended the Great Dao of Devouring, and at the same time, remembering the scene of him diligently practicing the Sky-Shattering Saber Technique.
At this moment, Pu Bucheng's attack was drawing nearer to Li Xiaotian, the terrifying fluctuations blowing his clothes wildly.
Seeing Li Xiaotian standing there dumbfounded, Pu Bucheng's eyes were filled with disdain.
He thought Li Xiaotian was terrified by his attack and had given up resisting.
But then, Pu Bucheng immediately understood, his expression filled with surprise.
Just as Pu Bucheng's attack was about to land on Li Xiaotian, Li Xiaotian opened his eyes.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a dark glint flashed in the depths of Li Xiaotian's eyes, followed by a heart-palpitating aura emanating from his body.
"Kill!"
Li Xiaotian roared, holding his long saber, and slashed it out.
The moment he slashed, everyone felt as if Li Xiaotian were a black hole, devouring everything.
It was as if the entire world contained only Li Xiaotian; no, after he unleashed that saber strike, everyone's eyes saw only that single saber light.
The saber blade was metallic white, but its surroundings were dark light.
And the light seemed to distort space, making it appear extremely uncoordinated.
"Slash!"
The long saber was unleashed, and at this moment, the entire battlefield seemed to freeze, with only the saber moving.
"Hum!"
The long saber slashed towards the three beams of light unleashed by Pu Bucheng. Instantly, the three beams of light twisted; they had been parallel, but now, they intertwined.
Following this, the dark light around the saber surged, instantly devouring the three beams of light.
At this moment, not a trace of energy fluctuation occurred, as if both Pu Bucheng's and Li Xiaotian's attacks were very weak. They canceled each other out, but without any ripple, as if the explosive power had vanished into thin air.
"Power of Laws!!!"
On the battlefield, Zhan Tianxia's eyes flashed with a sharp light. Perhaps only a few people present could discern the trick behind Li Xiaotian's move.
Li Xiaotian's saber not only broke through Pu Bucheng's attack but also devoured all the energy at the moment of breaking through, hence the absence of any energy fluctuations.
Gu Qing and the people from Gu Village also felt a tremor, as they saw the shadow of the Sky-Shattering Saber Technique in Li Xiaotian's saber strike.
But unlike them, Li Xiaotian's saber had fused with the power of laws.
Concurrently, Pu Bucheng, high in the sky, had a hint of surprise flicker across his expression, along with an added degree of wariness.
His attack had been so easily broken by Li Xiaotian, and more importantly, Li Xiaotian couldn't break it before this. This meant the opponent had achieved a breakthrough on the spot in that moment!
"Hmph! So what if he broke through? If I want to kill you, you must die!"
Pu Bucheng snorted coldly and took the initiative to attack. The black shadow behind him let out roars, as if wanting to rush out of the darkness.
"Die!!!"
Pu Bucheng roared and in the blink of an eye, he was beside Li Xiaotian. Since his attacks could be devoured by the opponent, what about close combat?!
After all, his post-demonization body strength was incredibly terrifying.
"Boom!"
Pu Bucheng threw a punch fiercely, without any trace of energy, pure physical strength.
"Heh, good!"
Li Xiaotian was not surprised but delighted. He was confident in close combat, knowing his body was constantly tempered by demonic qi, making his physique terrifyingly strong.
