It even gave off a sense of release.
"Boom—!"
The black dragon slash and the colorful dragon head clashed head-on!
In the eyes of all onlookers, the domineering Dragon Slaying Saber suddenly showed signs of collapse.
The blade light first retracted, then began to scatter on a massive scale. At the instant the colorful and black lights overlapped, the audience saw the tip of the Golden Dragon Spear striking the spine of the Dragon Slaying Saber.
With a clear ding, Sima Jinchi's entire body shuddered violently and was blasted away like a meteor by the terrifying power of the Golden Dragon Spear.
Waves of spear intent surged madly into his body—but just then, a ring of black light rippled out from the Dragon Slaying Saber, devouring all the invading spear intent.
Sima Jinchi's body ached all over, as though every inch of his flesh were being torn apart. Yet from the Dragon Slaying Saber, he sensed a jubilant excitement, as if it had gained something extraordinary. The mournful cries of the dragons had vanished, replaced by a series of cheerful hums.
What was going on...?
The next moment, Sima Jinchi felt a strange wave of energy flow from the Dragon Slaying Saber into his body. His soul power, which had not advanced in years, suddenly surged upward.
Even more astonishing was that his spiritual sea became clearer, and everything around him seemed more vivid. He had already reached the brink of the Spirit Domain Realm. Advancing even a little further had been extremely difficult. Yet now, just one strike from Gu You had elevated both his soul power and spiritual strength alongside the Dragon Slaying Saber's resonance.
How could this be possible? What kind of situation was this?
Compared to the blow that sent him flying, the shock in Sima Jinchi's heart was immeasurable. After all, they were inside the Star Battle Network—it was a simulated battle, not reality. Even if something improved during the fight, it should only be technique or experience. Spirit power should never increase. Spiritual power might rise slightly from external stimulation, but soul power? Absolutely not.
So why had it happened now? Why would someone's attack cause his cultivation to rise?
It was inconceivable!
Sima Jinchi had just bounced off the ground when Gu You's next attack came crashing in. Sima Jinchi's will plunged into the Dragon Slaying Saber, activating the saber soul. A savage aura erupted from his body like wildfire.
Gu You suddenly felt as though he were on a battlefield. Everything around him was consumed by deathly silence. An immense, upright force from the heavens descended like judgment.
A massive purple dragon appeared in the air, its scarlet eyes filled with malevolence. Grasped in a golden hand, a colossal saber cleaved down from the dragon's forehead to its tail, slicing its body in two.
Shrieks, resistance, and torrents of purple energy swept across the sky.
That was…
The Hell Evil Dragon!
The name surfaced inexplicably in Gu You's mind.
As the Dragon Slaying Saber sliced through the enormous body of the Hell Evil Dragon, it grew dozens of times larger. Purple patterns of condensed blood coated its blade as it descended from the heavens, instantly enveloping Gu You's spear aura.
In front of that gigantic saber, Gu You seemed utterly insignificant.
A God King-level strike!
Impossible!
Gu You was deeply shocked. The Golden Dragon Spear in his hand exploded with energy, and countless beams of colorful spear light erupted from it.
All spears converge—The King's Path opens!
"Buzz—!"
The world of the saber soul trembled violently, then shattered piece by piece. Countless colorful spear rays transformed into bolts of lightning that slashed through the purple saber intent, tearing it apart.
To the audience, what they saw was Sima Jinchi's sixth soul ring glowing before he swung a saber that instantly turned the entire arena purple.
The collision of purple and rainbow-colored lights made even the terrifying saber soul tremble and shatter. However, all the spear lightning emitted by the Golden Dragon Spear was also devoured by the purple saber soul.
And yet, Sima Jinchi's cultivation didn't weaken—instead, it continued to surge upward. He was rising into another realm.
Beneath the mask, a look of wild joy appeared on Sima Jinchi's face.
It was real!
The cultivation that had remained stagnant for years… could it really grow again? Was this the truth behind what he once saw in that mysterious world when he first awakened the saber soul?
If so, everything was real!
As that thought crossed his mind, he didn't stop moving. The seventh soul ring on his body lit up. The Dragon Slaying Saber paused slightly in mid-air, as golden dragon scales emerged along the hilt, forming a massive golden dragon claw that gripped the saber.
Sima Jinchi vanished.
All that remained was—the true body of the Dragon Slaying Saber!
Seventh Soul Skill: Martial Soul True Body—Dragon Slayer!
The massive saber rose once more. This time, it was the sixth soul ring that flared to life, appearing directly on the saber's blade. The surrounding space transformed completely, becoming a swirling, dark purple vortex.
In front of Gu You appeared not the same Hell Evil Dragon from before, but one that was far more terrifying—hundreds of meters long, like it filled the heavens itself. Its scales were dark purple with faint golden edges.
The Hell Evil Dragon Emperor!
Gu You didn't know why, but the moment it appeared, he felt a strange sense of familiarity. He seemed to have seen it somewhere, some time ago.
Its aura was completely different from his own Violet-Gold Dragon Emperor martial soul. But the scale colors matched. It felt like the same species, yet its nature was completely opposite.
This is bad!
Gu You's instincts screamed in alarm!
He lifted his head—his eyes had turned fully multicolored. The energy surging through his body grew exponentially, rising in insane geometric progression.
In an instant, the arena seemed to fracture. Cracks spread across every corner, rending the field apart. These splintered veins intertwined with the spiraling, descending purple saber aura.
There was no sound of collision—but the entire arena appeared to collapse at once. The original energy shield shattered instantly.
Among the spectators, cheers turned into screams. Those too close to the explosion were instantly reduced to dust in the air.
At the center of the arena, a massive ball of light emerged, unleashing a terrifying, continuous explosion.
