The fifth level of sword technique, the small success of cutting the universe

After killing the Young Scout, Xiao Ming plundered his belongings, then returned to the small mountain peak.

He then began to loot the corpse.

As the saying goes, 'murder and arson bring a golden belt'.

There are many ways to quickly accumulate wealth, and one of them is to acquire a large amount of property by eliminating powerful opponents.

After a thorough search of the corpses.

Xiao Ming obtained a large number of treasures, the most valuable of which were the Fourth Elder's Lightning Steel Whip, the Fifth Elder's Great Iron Spear, and the cultivation techniques and martial skill manuals they carried.

He opened the manuals and looked through them.

Xiao Ming was somewhat surprised to find that they all cultivated the same main cultivation technique, called the 'Furious Thunder Control Lightning Art'.

The rank of this technique was Earth-grade, top-tier, and it should be the Lei Family Fortress's most powerful core cultivation technique, which was quite good.

Bringing it back to the Spirit Sword Sect could earn a large amount of contribution points, and even if he sold it, he could get a good number of primal stones.

Besides the Furious Thunder Control Lightning Art, there were several other martial skill manuals.

Xiao Ming briefly looked through them, then put them all away.

After clearing up these minor matters, Xiao Ming looked up, his eyes narrowed, at the direction of the Lei Family Fortress.

He and the Lei Family Fortress were now in a life-and-death situation.

Only when one side was completely annihilated would the other cease!

"The most formidable person in the Lei Family Fortress is Lei Ao, but after the previous conflict, Lei Ao was severely injured by Master, and his Cultivation Level plummeted to the middle Danhu Realm," Xiao Ming mused, stroking his chin.

"This Cultivation Level no longer poses a threat to me."

"However, besides Lei Ao, the Lei Family Fortress also has other strong cultivators, such as the remaining Elders."

"Those Elders are probably at the middle or even late Danhu Realm, and if they unite, it might be a bit tricky."

Xiao Ming had also heard about the strength of the Lei Family Fortress.

It was said that besides the Fortress Lord Lei Ao, the Lei Family Fortress also had six Great Elders, all of whom were in the Danhu Realm.

And now, three of them had already died by his hand, so the Lei Family Fortress still had three of its most powerful Elder Council members remaining.

For Xiao Ming, eliminating the Lei Family Fortress to prevent future troubles was an inevitable task.

But he had to plan it carefully.

Thinking this, Xiao Ming pulled out a cultivation technique manual from his懷中.

Heaven-grade cultivation technique: Imperial Sky-Shocking Sword Art!

This was Xiao Ming's main cultivation technique, and as his Cultivation Level advanced to the Danhu Realm, he could cultivate the fifth stage of the Sword Art.

Once he successfully cultivated the fifth stage, Xiao Ming's strength would undoubtedly increase greatly, and he would have more confidence in dealing with the Lei Family Fortress.

No sooner said than done.

Xiao Ming sat down cross-legged on the spot, and then the true essence in his body surged out, pouring into the manual.

As the true essence flowed in, the fifth page of the manual gradually softened, and then Xiao Ming gently turned it open.

A brand new, more exquisite cultivation method immediately appeared before Xiao Ming's eyes.

About a quarter of an hour later.

Xiao Ming, who had been sitting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them.

As he opened his eyes, two five-colored sword qi immediately shot out from his pupils, hissing in the air.

He had completed the cultivation of the fifth stage of the Sword Art!

After cultivating the fifth stage of the Sword Art, Xiao Ming's Dan Lake within his body was more than twice as dense as before; the deep Dan Lake was like jelly, incredibly viscous, and the true essence energy it contained far surpassed that of cultivators at the same stage.

Even a cultivator at the middle Danhu Realm, their true essence in their Dan Lake would be far inferior to Xiao Ming's.

The true essence energy contained in the Dan Lake is the foundation for cultivators at this Cultivation Level; the more powerful the Dan Lake, the more terrifying the combat power unleashed!

In terms of Dan Lake energy alone, Xiao Ming could already contend with cultivators at the late Danhu Realm.

And the change in the Dan Lake was just one of the changes brought about by the Sword Art.

After cultivating the fifth stage of the Sword Art, Xiao Ming also mastered a new sword skill.

Severing Qiankun!

This was the sword skill attached to the fifth stage of the Sword Art, and once unleashed, its power was extremely formidable.

However.

Precisely because the power of Severing Qiankun was too terrifying, it was divided into three parts: minor accomplishment, major accomplishment, and perfect state.

Just like the Great River Sword Intent that Xiao Ming possessed.

The fifth stage of the Sword Art could cultivate Severing Qiankun to the minor accomplishment stage.

The sixth stage of the Sword Art could cultivate it to major accomplishment.

If one cultivated the seventh stage of the Sword Art, then Severing Qiankun could be cultivated to the perfect state.

Therefore, due to his own Cultivation Level and the number of Sword Art layers, Xiao Ming could currently only unleash Severing Qiankun with minor accomplishment power.

But!

Although Severing Qiankun only had minor accomplishment power, according to the manual's records, Severing Qiankun of this power was enough to severely injure or even kill cultivators below the Divine Sea Realm!

Moreover, it could almost achieve an instant kill!

And this was the power of Heaven-grade cultivation techniques, allowing cultivators of this technique to easily challenge those at higher Cultivation Levels!

Xiao Ming slowly stood up, lightly tapping his foot on the ground, and instantly soared into the air.

Looking at the small mountain peak below, and the Profound Ice Lake at the top of the peak, Xiao Ming slowly exhaled.

He planned to test the power of Severing Qiankun!

He stretched out his palm and gently clenched it in the air; the next moment, the Five Elements Power within a radius of dozens of miles swarmed towards Xiao Ming.

The five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth merged and condensed, forming a hundred-meter-long five-colored sword shadow in Xiao Ming's hand.

This hundred-meter-long sword shadow was Severing Qiankun!

As for why it appeared five-colored, it was because Xiao Ming controlled the power of the Five Elements.

Holding the hundred-meter-long five-colored sword shadow with one hand, Xiao Ming suddenly exerted force and slashed down towards the small mountain peak below!

Rumble!

The sword shadow tore through the void, and the powerful sword might caused the void to rumble.

And then.

"Boom!!!"

The five-colored sword shadow, like a heaven-splitting sword, with an invincible posture, directly split the small mountain peak into two halves!

The mountain peak exploded, and rocks flew everywhere!

The Profound Ice Lake at the top of the peak was directly blasted apart, turning into countless splashes of water.

Seeing the scene below, Xiao Ming was both surprised and delighted.

Was this the power of Severing Qiankun?

So abnormal, so violent!

Such a terrifying sword shadow, even a cultivator at the late Danhu Realm, if struck, would be severely injured if not killed!

However.

After his initial surprise, Xiao Ming's brows furrowed again.

Because he was astonished to find that after unleashing Severing Qiankun, a small half of his true essence had been consumed!

The power of Severing Qiankun was indeed terrifying, but the true essence it consumed was also truly astonishing.

"It seems that the unique skill of Severing Qiankun can only be used as a trump card," Xiao Ming mused, "Unless it's a critical moment, I shouldn't easily use it."

"With my current Cultivation Level, I can at most use Severing Qiankun twice, no more."

After pondering.

Xiao Ming turned his head, looking ambitiously in the direction of the Lei Family Fortress.

Now that his strength had surged, it was time to eliminate the Lei Family Fortress!

With a wave of his hand, Xiao Ming drew out the Nu Lei Sword, then used the Sword Flight technique, soaring into the sky with lightning speed, directly into the clouds.

A moment later, he disappeared between heaven and earth.
