The "Yuchen Tribulation Opening Sword Scripture" is a Martial Arts that shortens one's lifespan the more it is practiced. If it weren't for Luo Fu Palace being truly pushed to the brink, Hua Yufei wouldn't have chosen to cultivate this technique.
To replenish the constantly draining Vitality, Hua Yufei chose to make contact with the Blood Demon Sect, using the Superior Absolute Skill of the Blood Path to supplement his Vitality, achieving a balance of output and input.
However, as his mastery of the Sword technique deepened, relying solely on Blood Path Martial Arts was no longer sufficient to aid Hua Yufei.
Thus, Hua Yufei found a new method.
By channeling Qi through his body, Chenyuan produced a surge of Death Qi, contending with Slaughter Sword Qi, preventing it from further depleting his Vitality.
Moreover, this Death Qi did not harm his body; rather, it nourished his form, turning his dry and withered skin smooth.
