312: Chapter 312 Ordinary and Unremarkable, Ten Thousand Years of Cultivation Completely Wasted

"No—!"

Dao Monarch Yun Xing's roar pierced the stagnant air of the City Lord's Mansion, carrying extreme despair and terror.

Su Changge didn't hesitate; the white light at his fingertip suddenly surged. It wasn't ordinary light, but a sword light condensed to the extreme.

That was the "Taishang Wuji Sword Scripture" Legacy from Old Ancestor Xuan Tian in his mind. He hadn't had a chance to use it before, so today was the perfect time to test its effects on these two old demons.

The sword light appeared extremely plain, without any earth-shattering visual or sound effects, not even stirring a breeze. It silently sliced toward Dao Monarch Yun Xing and Blood Bone Old Demon.

[Oh, this sword light looks pretty unremarkable. I wonder how effective it is; I hope it doesn't let me down.]

Su Changge looked calm on the surface, but he was actually a bit panicky inside. After all, it was his first time using a Legacy of this level, and he didn't know if it would work. If it didn't, his secret would be out today.

Zhao Tian, standing nearby, looked at the sword light with confusion. He had been in the Shattered Star Ancient Ruins for many years and had seen countless star cultivators' sword arts, from the basic Starfire Sword to the top-tier Meteorite Sword Art. But he had never seen such a plain sword light; it looked like something an ordinary person would casually trace in the air, without any lethality at all.

But when Dao Monarch Yun Xing and Blood Bone Old Demon saw that sword light, they were so terrified they couldn't even Move. Their Souls were instinctively trembling. It was an absolute suppression from the level of the Great Dao. They couldn't even summon a thought of resistance; their bodies were as if nailed to the ground, unable to Move even a finger.

"W-what is that sword light? Why do I feel like the Star Power in my body is about to be severed by it?" Dao Monarch Yun Xing's voice shook uncontrollably. He tried to circulate his Star Power to escape, but the Star Power in his Dantian was like it had frozen, refusing to obey him.

Blood Bone Old Demon was even worse. He had already wet his pants earlier, and now, seeing the sword light getting closer, he fainted once from fear, only to be jolted awake by terror again. He was foaming at the mouth, unable to even cry out for mercy.

The sword light was slow, but with every inch it advanced, the surrounding space distorted.

The dense silver star runes carved on the ground and walls vanished the moment they touched the sword light. They weren't violently destroyed; they just disappeared, as if they had never existed.

The blood mist and corpse qi permeating the air also vanished instantly upon contact with the sword light. Not even a trace of the smell of blood remained, as if it had never been there.

Seeing this effect, Su Changge felt relieved, and his expression became even more indifferent.

[Oho, it's actually quite useful. This act was worth it.]

[I just don't know what effect it has when it hits a person. I hope it's not just for show.]

As Su Changge thought this, his fingertip moved slightly, and the sword light suddenly accelerated, reaching Dao Monarch Yun Xing and Blood Bone Old Demon in an instant.

The two of them squeezed their eyes shut in terror, waiting for death to arrive, even imagining themselves being split in half by the sword light.

But after waiting for a long time, they didn't feel any pain. Instead, they felt their bodies lighten, and the sensation of being bound by the Formation instantly vanished.

"Huh?" Dao Monarch Yun Xing opened his eyes in confusion and looked down at his body. He was perfectly intact, without a single wound. Even the wound pierced by the blood claw earlier no longer hurt.

Blood Bone Old Demon also opened his eyes and felt his neck; he was fine too. He was instantly overjoyed, thinking Su Changge was being magnanimous and had let them go.

"Thank you, Senior, for sparing our lives! Thank you, Senior! We will surely work like beasts of burden to repay your kindness!" The two of them kowtowed frantically to Su Changge, tears of excitement streaming down their faces. Their heads hit the ground with loud thuds, fearing Su Changge might change his mind.

Zhao Tian was also stunned. He thought Su Changge would directly kill these two traitors; he didn't expect him to actually let them go.

Su Changge stood there, a meaningful smile playing on his face, saying nothing.

[Spare you? In your dreams. You'll know how powerful it is in a moment.]

After kowtowing dozens of times, Dao Monarch Yun Xing suddenly felt something was wrong. He tried to circulate his Star Power to stand up and show his loyalty to Su Changge, only to find that more than half of the Star Power in his body was gone.

No, it wasn't just gone. It was as if the Meteorite Sword Art he had cultivated for a hundred thousand years had never existed.

All the cultivation memories, circulation routes, and Move techniques of the Meteorite Sword Art in his mind had completely vanished. He had no memory of them at all!

"What's happening? Where is my Cultivation Technique? Where is my Meteorite Sword Art?" Dao Monarch Yun Xing's face turned pale with terror as he frantically tried to stimulate his Dantian, only to find that there was nothing inside except for a tiny bit of the most basic Spiritual Qi. His Natal Star Core, which he had nurtured for a hundred thousand years, had also vanished without a trace, leaving no sign it ever existed.

Blood Bone Old Demon also noticed something was wrong. He tried to activate his Blood Bone Great Array, only to find that the layout methods, operational tricks, and the cultivation memories of his natal Divine Ability, the Shattered Star Blood Claw, had all vanished from his mind!

The Slaughter Dao Cultivation Technique he had practiced his entire life was just gone, as if he had never cultivated for those hundred thousand years!

"My Cultivation Technique! My cultivation! What did you do to us?!" Blood Bone Old Demon stared at Su Changge, his eyes filled with even more fear and despair than when he faced the sword light.

For old demons like them who had lived for a hundred thousand years, their cultivation and techniques were their lives. Crippling their cultivation was ten thousand times worse than killing them.

Su Changge glanced at them indifferently, his tone as calm as stagnant water.

"It's nothing. I merely severed the Karma between you and those evil techniques."

Su Changge's voice was soft, but in their ears, it sounded like successive claps of thunder, shattering their Divine Souls.

Severing Karma?

Wasn't that something only legendary powerhouses at the True Immortal level or above could do?

And even a True Immortal could only sever some ordinary karmic ties. To sever the Karma between a person and their Cultivation Technique, directly erasing their cultivation memories and power—at what Realm would one need to be to achieve that?

Could it be that Su Changge had already surpassed the True Immortal Realm and reached the legendary Emperor Realm, or even the Dao Enlightenment Realm?

The two of them looked at Su Changge, fear deep in their marrow. They finally understood that Su Changge didn't want to kill them; he wanted to make them wish they were dead.

[Hahaha, this effect is even better than I imagined. This was definitely worth it.]

Su Changge was overjoyed inside, but he remained expressionless on the outside, even letting out a slight yawn as if he had just done something insignificant.

Seeing Su Changge's indifferent attitude, Dao Monarch Yun Xing thought about how he had struggled to survive for a hundred thousand years, even betraying his Sect just to reach a higher Realm, only to have everything vanish overnight. He was suddenly overcome by a surge of anger and grief.

"Pfft—"

A mouthful of black blood mixed with fragments of internal organs sprayed from his mouth. Dao Monarch Yun Xing's eyes rolled back, and he collapsed straight onto the ground, unconscious.
