488: Chapter 488 The Great Void Annihilation Blade

The next day.

Training room.

Nie Ning held the xueyan bladeless in his hand. As he slashed out, a blade aura a few centimeters long, resembling a tear in space, flew out.

But in an instant, the blade aura vanished without a trace.

'Pfft~'

Nie Ning suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and tiny, tearing wounds appeared all over his arm.

"What the hell is this thing? Is the recoil really that strong?!"

Looking at the long blade in his hand, Nie Ning was in disbelief.

He had only just tested the Taixu Annihilation Blade, and he hadn't expected it to injure himself directly.

Feeling the tearing pain in his internal organs, Nie Ning was left speechless by this single strike.

With a move that deals zero damage to the enemy but causes a thousand to oneself, Nie Ning couldn't understand what kind of genius designed it.

"Could it be that I'm using it wrong?"

Nie Ning sheathed the blade and fell into deep thought, rubbing his chin.

If the Taixu Annihilation Blade really injured the user before the enemy, it probably wouldn't appear in the Extreme Phase Demon Palace's exchange inventory at all.

After all, even in a large sect like this, there are many contrarians like him who think they are the unique, special ones.

Therefore, Nie Ning was certain that there must be quite a few people who had exchanged for the Taixu Annihilation Blade.

But even so, it was still available for exchange, so it must not be as simple as it appeared; at the very least, it couldn't be completely unusable.

Carefully pondering the spell formation that made up the Taixu Annihilation Blade, Nie Ning discovered that the runes on it were mostly destructive, with very few runes used to stabilize the spell structure.

However, looking at it as a whole, there wasn't a major problem with the spell.

Nie Ning tried a few more times.

After his proficiency increased, the impact on himself did indeed decrease, but it still affected the mana circulation within his body, causing the internal structure to collapse and injure him.

Because there were no good results for a long time, Nie Ning himself wanted to give up.

The main issue was that acquiring skills was not difficult for him, but practicing such skills was extremely time-consuming.

"Let's try one more time."

Nie Ning took a deep breath and directly activated Super-Limit Fusion.

In an instant, powerful energy surged into his body, and his mind became incredibly clear.

As the xueyan bladeless in his hand slashed out, a blade aura resembling a crack in space flew out.

This time, the blade aura did not vanish; the nearly two-meter-long blade aura directly destroyed the wall of the training room and then pierced through the island, leaving a penetrating hole.

Nie Ning raised an eyebrow, but before he could rejoice, the flesh on his right arm exploded, and the white bone was clearly visible.

His powerful self-healing ability began to take effect; with the support of the fusion energy, the arm quickly grew new flesh and healed, recovering to its original state in less than a minute.

Nie Ning deactivated Super-Limit Fusion, sheathed the xueyan bladeless, and turned his gaze back to the hole where light could be seen.

Very strong!

It could even break through the defensive restrictions of the training room and the island.

But the drawbacks were also very obvious; even with his formidable physique, he was still unable to withstand it.

If he wanted to fully unleash it, he would probably have to activate the Forbidden Domain of Living Beings, as its powerful recovery ability would be enough to offset the side effects to a certain extent.

"It seems that's the only way, to avoid damaging the crystal core structure from multiple uses."

Nie Ning had no intention of continuing to try.

The power of the Taixu Annihilation Blade was too violent; without sufficiently strong Spiritual Power, it would destroy the magic source.

"What a pity..."

Powerful strength is often accompanied by harsh conditions.

From Nie Ning's current perspective, to fully unleash the power of the Taixu Annihilation Blade, he would still need the aid of an Artistic Conception of space.

Fortunately, current elemental fusion could change the properties of spells, so even without comprehending an Artistic Conception of space, it would just mean a little less damage.

Just as Nie Ning was preparing to think about what to do next, he suddenly felt the island's restriction being triggered.

"Who would come here?"

Nie Ning was a bit puzzled.

Xiao Guang and the others wouldn't trigger the restriction, and he didn't know many people in the Extreme Phase Demon Palace.

Thinking of this, Nie Ning returned to the main entrance with curiosity.

As the castle gate opened, the person who arrived was actually the Tier 6 Transcendent who had handled the recruitment work yesterday.

"Little brother, what happened to you?"

Looking at the blood-covered Nie Ning, the Tier 6 Transcendent asked with a concerned expression.

Nie Ning wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth: "I've been busy with work lately. After all, I'm new here; if I don't work hard, I won't be able to support my wife and children."

"I have to talk to you about this, brother. Your body is your own. You don't need to push yourself too hard on some things. If you wear yourself out, it won't be good for anyone."

The Tier 6 Transcendent patted Nie Ning on the shoulder and said, winking at him.

"Yes, yes, you're right, brother."

Nie Ning nodded repeatedly.

But he was suspicious in his heart; this guy seemed a bit too enthusiastic, didn't he?

Even if it were for the sake of money, he was the one asking the other party to do something; this behavior didn't quite fit the style of a high-tier Transcendent.

The Tier 6 Transcendent glanced into the room and said with a smile: "Won't you invite your brother in to sit?"

"Look at my brain. Come in quickly. I happen to have some Ye Lu Rui tea here; let me have you taste it, brother."

Nie Ning invited the Tier 6 Transcendent inside and then brewed some tea leaves he had gotten from Amanra.

After both sat down, Nie Ning spoke with some trepidation: "Brother, I don't know how my matter is going?"

Money didn't really matter; with Amivika, would he be afraid of starving?

To prevent Amivika from abandoning her husband and child, he had even turned down a date with Amanra last night, just to properly compensate Amivika.

The Tier 6 Transcendent sighed: "Sigh, that quota has already been finalized, and it's really not easy to change it in public."

When Nie Ning heard this, his heart sank. This was bad.

There wasn't much time left, and if he wanted to find other connections, it would probably be too late.

Although he had a backup plan, which was to try to find Xiao Guang's teacher.

But the problem was that from the other party's actions last time, it was clear that they probably disliked him.

And even if the other party could squeeze him into the exploration team, that would be equivalent to owing a Ninth-Tier powerhouse a favor, which would have to be repaid in the future.

"It's okay, isn't there a next time?"

Nie Ning smiled and didn't show too much emotion.

Seeing that the atmosphere was just about right, the Tier 6 Transcendent suddenly smiled slightly and patted Nie Ning's shoulder.

"Don't be discouraged, brother. Although the exploration team is a no-go, we are still missing a logistics person in our group. I just happened to put your name forward, so we'll be colleagues from now on."

Hearing this, Nie Ning was pleasantly surprised and immediately grasped the Tier 6 Transcendent's hand.

"Then thank you so much, big brother."

"Small matter, small matter."

The Tier 6 Transcendent waved his hand with a humble expression.

If it weren't for the fact that Nie Ning gave too much, which made him interested and led him to investigate that Nie Ning's wife had opened a restaurant in the business center.

So, no need to think about it; this little brat is definitely playing the pig to eat the tiger!
