Zhao Fu was quite confused, as he had never heard of this before. Just as he was about to ask, the Elf once again attacked – his body blurred and suddenly appeared in front of Zhao Fu. He raised the blood-red sword and hacked down at Zhao Fu.

Zhao Fu immediately retreated, and as the sword hit the ground, a ma.s.sive force spread out, causing the ground to crack. Rocks flew everywhere as an enormous crater appeared.

After missing, the Elf kicked off the ground and turned into a black blur as he continued to attack Zhao Fu.

Zhao Fu coldly harrumphed and took out the Death Disaster Sword. He sent a ma.s.sive amount of Emperor"s Power into it, causing it to give off an intense light, and it gave off shocking deathly qi as it slashed out.

The Elf completely disregarded this and rushed over, slashing out a red sword light towards Zhao Fu.

Bang!

A m.u.f.fled explosion sounded out as the Elf was blasted backwards. Even though the b.l.o.o.d.y qi had increased his battle strength, Zhao Fu was much more powerful, so the Elf was not a match for him at all.

The Elf crashed onto the ground and coughed up a large mouthful of blood before standing back up.

Boom!

An even more powerful aura exploded out as a blood-red flame appeared around the Elf, and the b.l.o.o.d.y qi in the surroundings started to flow towards him.

The golden dragon hurriedly said, "Hurry up and kill him, or things will become problematic."

Zhao Fu nodded and stretched out a hand towards the Elf. His golden pupil in his left eye dilated and started to quickly spin.

Clang, clang, clang…

Chains containing immense power flew towards the Elf as the Elf continuously dodged and slashed out, sending out blood-red arcs of sword light that destroyed the incoming chains.

However, even more chains flew towards him, and the Elf roared as the blood-red flames around him became even stronger. He ferociously slashed out, causing over 1,000 sword lights to fly out and cut apart the countless chains.

Chi!

At that moment, Zhao Fu suddenly appeared behind him and pierced his heart with his sword. However, the Elf immediately slashed at Zhao Fu backhanded.

This made Zhao Fu feel quite shocked – he had clearly pierced the Elf"s heart, so how could he still move as if he was still fine? What was going on?

Facing this backhanded strike, Zhao Fu leapt backwards ten or so meters.

The golden dragon explained, "He"s in the First Transformation of the Sword Obsession state. Only by destroying his body will you be able to kill him; otherwise, you won"t be able to stop him."

Bang!

Just as the golden dragon finished speaking, the Elf once again attacked. Zhao Fu coldly harrumphed and raised the Death Disaster Sword, exploding out with all of his power. A gray light shot into the sky as Zhao Fu slashed down.

Boom!!

As the terrifying sword light flashed out, everything in his surroundings seemed to be slashed apart as the Elf"s body was devoured by the attack. After everything settled, there was a 1,000 meter long sword gash on the ground, and the Elf had been reduced to bits and pieces.

"What were you saying about the Killing Sword World?" Now that he had killed the Elf, Zhao Fu had the time to talk to the golden dragon.

The golden dragon replied, "This is a matter from a long time ago before even the Heaven Murder Empire was established.

"I said before, the Heaven Awaken World is the main world, with the G.o.dly spirit world above and the underworld below. There are also many smaller subsidiary worlds.

"Some of those subsidiary worlds are quite big, and some are quite small. However, they did not come from the outside and were instead worlds that split off from the Heaven Awaken World because of various sorts of powers, forming their own worlds.

"The Killing Sword World was originally called the Sword World, and legends say that it was formed by a celestial sword. It contains supreme sword intent and is a holy lands for the cultivation of the way of the sword.

"The ruler of the Sword World was called the Sword Master, and the Sword World chose its own ruler. After a Sword Master died, it would choose the next Sword Master.

"To become the Sword Master, one naturally had to have extreme talent in the way of the sword and had to be a peerless genius, someone ordinary people cannot surpa.s.s.

"The Sword World was one of the most powerful factions back then and had countless experts. All of them cultivated the way of the sword, but after the 137th Sword Master appeared, everything changed.

"The 137th Sword Master was called a renowned prodigy. Not only did he have a Supreme Sword Const.i.tution, but his comprehension towards the way of the sword was also beyond anything ordinary people could imagine. However, for some reason, the 137th Sword Master fell into the demon path and descended into madness.

"The Sword World changed because of him and also fell into the demon path, creating an Origin of Killing. This killing intent then fused with his sword intent, resulting in a killing sword intent. This sort of sword intent was primarily focused on killing, and the killing intent surpa.s.sed the sword intent. This resulted in the Sword World becoming the Killing Sword World.

"The Killing Sword World affected the rest of the Heaven Awaken World as well. The color of blood filled the surrounding hundreds of Domains, and a terrifying sword aura spread out in the sky, shocking the surrounding tens of thousands of worlds.

"Everyone in the Sword World were controlled by that killing sword intent and also fell into the demon path, just like that Elf you just saw.

"That state is called Sword Obsession, where the person and sword become one, and their body becomes controlled by the sword. They become a monster that only knows how to kill, and they are even more terrifying than ordinary sword demons.

"The more killing sword intent that they absorb, the more terrifying they become. This is split into a few levels, from the First Transformation to the Ninth Transformation.

"The First Transformation is just when the body is controlled by the killing sword intent, and this is the weakest state. However, just as you saw, that Elf was already quite difficult to kill. He did not die even when you attacked his vitals, and only by destroying his body were you able to truly kill him.

"In every Transformation, one"s power will become many times more powerful, and one"s body will go through changes as well. Both the person and sword will evolve. Those in the Second Transformation have to be killed in both body and spirit, and they can still heal over a long period of time.

"For those in the Third Transformation, even if their bodies are annihilated, they can still quickly recover. Their spirits also become extremely powerful and difficult to destroy.

"Those in the Fourth Transformation are almost unkillable and can only be sealed. Their bodies recover too quickly, and their souls have already become sword souls.

"Legends say that the 137th Sword Master has already entered the Ninth Transformation, and he has the terrifying power of a Celestial."

Hearing this, Zhao Fu could not help but gulp; the 137th Sword Master had the power of a Celestial. Celestials were the peak existences in this world, and they were above countless G.o.dly spirits. They could casually take the lives of billions of creatures.

That sort of power was simply unimaginable, and just trying to think about it, Zhao Fu felt quite excited. However, looking at the ruined world in front of him, the ending of the 137th Sword Master definitely wasn"t a happy one.
