Ye Longcang charged forward with Boundless, cutting down the Ice Dragon Empire's warriors as they rushed at him.
After evolving into an SSS-class weapon, Boundless's sharpness had become even more terrifying.
The warriors' weapons and their hardened armor were utterly defenseless against Boundless, as if it were slicing through paper.
"Ahhh!!!"
Screams and cries of agony echoed across the battlefield.
The once-elite forces of the Ice Dragon Empire were now filled with fear and panic.
"How can this be?"
"This is impossible!"
A general, mounted on horseback, gazed in shock at the distant scene.
He witnessed Ye Longcang wielding a terrifying sword, slaughtering their elite soldiers without mercy.
With each swing of the sword, an overwhelming surge of sword energy followed, cutting down warrior after warrior.
What was even more bizarre was that the blood of those who fell would rise into the air and be absorbed into the sword in Ye Longcang's hand.
"Damn it!"
The general roared in fury, leaping off his warhorse and charging toward Ye Longcang.
Holding his battle blade, he flew through the air, aiming to cleave Ye Longcang in half from above.
Energy surged through his weapon, intending to cut Ye Longcang down.
"Foolish trick."
Ye Longcang scoffed, raising Boundless and swinging it.
Clang—
In an instant, the general's battle blade was split in two!
The general's eyes widened in shock.
His blade, reinforced with immense energy, should have been indestructible.
But Ye Longcang's sword had sliced through it like tofu!
Before he could recover, Ye Longcang's sword came slashing at him again.
The speed was too fast.
The Ice Dragon Empire's general desperately tried to evade, but it was futile.
Boundless pierced straight through his skull.
His eyes remained wide open, still filled with disbelief.
He had fought countless battles—how could he have died so easily?
[Killed Martial King-level warrior, gained 1,000,000 evolution points]
[Absorbed Martial King-level warrior's blood essence, gained 100 energy points]
[Absorbed Martial King-level warrior's blood essence, gained 100 energy points]
…
At that moment, Boundless was rapidly absorbing the blood and energy of the fallen warrior.
Some of that energy transferred into Ye Longcang.
"Ahhh!!!"
Ye Longcang roared, feeling a surge of power overwhelming his body.
The nearby Ice Dragon Empire warriors, who had been preparing to attack, were sent flying by the shockwave.
Ye Longcang could feel an enormous transformation in his body.
He had finally broken through the bottleneck that had held him back for so many years.
He had become a Martial Saint!
"Hahaha!"
Ye Longcang laughed loudly, his eyes gleaming as he gazed at the dense mass of warriors ahead.
He raised Boundless high into the air.
[Nether Flame Soul Slash]!!!
With Boundless now at SSS-class, the skill had become even more powerful!
Boom—
As he swung his sword, a massive surge of white flames burst forth.
The sheer size of the flame was immense, rushing toward the enemies ahead.
In an instant, the white flames consumed a large number of Ice Dragon Empire warriors.
They didn't even have time to scream.
Their bodies were charred black within moments.

…
Ye Fan saw a constant stream of notifications flooding in once again.
Kill! Kill! Kill!
Ye Longcang felt like his entire body was overflowing with energy.
He charged madly into the fray, slashing through enemies without hesitation.
By the time Ye Longcang finally stopped swinging his sword, time had become irrelevant.
All the Ice Dragon Empire warriors within Canglong City were dead.
Every single one had perished under the blade of Boundless.
"This... this power is terrifying."
Ye Longcang stared at Boundless in his hands, murmuring to himself.
His expression was filled with complexity.
Boundless was simply too powerful.
Not only did it kill, but it absorbed the strength of those it killed.
That energy had been transferred to Ye Longcang as well.
He had been stuck for years, unable to advance, but now—by slaying so many enemies—he had broken through effortlessly!
At this rate, the wielder of Boundless would easily fall into the path of darkness.
After all, killing brought power.
But even if it meant entering the demonic path, Ye Longcang would wield this sword!
Staring at the ruined city and the countless dead civilians, Ye Longcang clenched his teeth.
"Ice Dragon Empire... your end is near!"
…
"What did you just say?!"
"Xiao Ranbing is dead?!"
"And all the elite forces we sent to attack Canglong City are wiped out?!"
At the same time, in the Ice Dragon Empire's imperial hall, the emperor's face twisted with rage.
"Yes, Your Majesty. This is the latest information we've received," a minister reported, his forehead covered in sweat.
"However, we have captured all the other cities of the Canglong Empire," he added, trying to offer some consolation.
"Damn it!"
"We couldn't even conquer a mere Canglong Empire!"
The Ice Dragon Empire emperor slammed his fist onto the table, his voice filled with fury.
"Send more troops! I want Ye Longcang captured alive, or I want his head brought to me!"
Boom—
As soon as the emperor's words fell, a loud explosion echoed from the distance.
What's going on?!
Everyone in the hall was stunned.
They could even feel a faint tremor running through the palace.
"Report!!!"
"The Canglong Empire's warriors have breached the southern gate!"
Upon hearing the news, everyone's expressions changed drastically.
"What is going on?!!!"
