Chapter Eighteen: Silent for Thousands of Years, Promoted to Golden Immortal

  Li Yi stayed at the bottom of the pit for a whole three months, and only after confirming that Jin Ying Wang and several others had indeed left did he jump out of the deep pit and turn into a flying sword to leave.

  After a battle with King Golden Eagle and others, Li Yi's name shook the world. Unlike before, when he was only known among the Tianxian, Xuanshen, and Jinxian levels, this time he attracted the attention of many Daluo Jinxians.

  Da Luo Golden Immortal is a top-notch figure in the vast wilderness, and with his Xuanxian realm, he can escape from Da Luo Golden Immortal's hands. This child has absolutely enormous potential, and if he doesn't die, he may grow into a giant like Lu Ye Old Ancestor, making it impossible for them to ignore him.

  Of course, it's just a slight attention, after all, it's really hard to get the position of Daluo, the cause and effect are entangled, the difficulties are heavy, and even among 10,000 Golden Immortals, it's hard to give birth to a Daluo Golden Immortal. Therefore, they don't care about a Xuan Immortal with potential either, heaven knows when he will fall. Although the current Honghuang is relatively calm, the struggle is everywhere.

  If there was still one person who didn't stop paying attention to Li Yi, it would be Jin Ying Wang. This time, it wasn't for revenge, but rather he wanted to understand that mysterious existence through Li Yi. It was too powerful, and those eyes still left an indelible impression on his heart. He had always suspected that the existence might have reached another level.

  Time is ruthless, and in the blink of an eye, another 1500 years have passed. The shocking deeds of Li Yi, which had once stunned people's hearts, have gradually been forgotten by the masses, only occasionally becoming a topic of conversation after drinking. Meanwhile, new heroes have emerged one after another, and people can't help but enthusiastically talk about those powerful beings who have attained the Great Dao.

  In a desolate mountain range, an ordinary small hill, a secret cave, 1,500 years have passed, Li Yi has been quietly waiting here.

  Last time when Li Yi fought against King Jinying and others, he almost died nine times. At the last moment, he even used the "Nine-Colored Pagoda" - a supreme spiritual technique that was supposed to be his trump card. However, due to the life-or-death situation at that time, Li Yi had no choice but to reveal this trump card, which momentarily stunned King Jinying and gave Li Yi an opportunity to escape.

  Between life and death, the remaining killing intent in Li Yi's body was almost exhausted. When faced with the powerful siege of the three green-eyed old men, under the tense situation, Li Yi suddenly enlightened, "Qing Lian Yī Shì Jiè" perfectly combined with the killing intent, and the killing intent also underwent a qualitative change.

  Li Yi felt that this adventure was worth it. This moment of enlightenment had saved him at least 10,000 years of effort.

  However, last time was indeed injured too heavily, especially the last palm of King Jinying. If it weren't for Li Yi's body being transformed by the twelve-product Qinglian, I'm afraid he would have been dismembered on the spot by King Jinying. Even so, Li Yi felt his five internal organs burning, his meridians rupturing, and his blood flowing backwards.

  So Li Yi has been staying here quietly for 1,500 years, nursing his wounds and contemplating the way of killing.

  Li Yi was immersed in his thoughts, and the experiences he had after crossing over into this world appeared one by one as pictures in his mind.

  A chaotic demon roared and tore apart another demon, blood flowing like a river...

  Pangu's axe flashed, space shattered, countless gods and demons' corpses fell like rain...

  Between his hands, divine blood dripped down drop by drop. At his feet, a dead god-monster stared up at him with unblinking eyes, its resentment filling the sky...

  Millions of monks slaughtered in mid-air, corpses scattered all over the ground, limbs broken and torn apart...

  ……

  Scene after scene of the slaughter he had witnessed and experienced kept flashing through his mind, Li Yi's understanding of slaughter deepened, and his views on it became clearer.

  Killing is just erasing...

  Slaughter is destruction...

  Slaughter is making what exists disappear...

  ……

  Li Yi sat cross-legged in the cave, his body began to emanate waves of black light, the surrounding space rippled and a faint sound of clashing swords echoed out.

  Killing is killing...

  Killing is born with existence and dies with existence. As long as there is existence, there is killing...

  Killing is a way and a reason, killing is everywhere...

  "Yin……" A sword hum filled Li Yi's body, the killing intent that existed in the void continuously surged into his body. At this moment, Li Yi was like a black sun radiating dark light, with an area of ten zhang filled with black killing intent.

  Li Yi was now fully immersed in the power of slaughter, the power of slaughter in his meridians and dantian constantly expanding and compressing, the power of slaughter also constantly flushing and transforming Li Yi's body, making Li Yi's body more stable and more suitable for the power of slaughter.

  Li Yi's brain domain had changed, expanding by a full double, and his willpower had also become more viscous.

  "Chanting......" Countless small swords composed of the power of slaughter, emitting black light, emerged from Li Yi's body, making the entire hillside full of holes, like a dense beehive.

  On a small hill, countless dark swords were swirling non-stop. "Boom", the small hill finally collapsed, and a figure with 4 wings on its back instantly drilled out.

  Innumerable dark gleaming small swords, as if receiving some kind of instruction, "hummed...", one by one the small swords flew along a specific trajectory. After an unknown period of time, all the dark gleaming small swords disappeared from the sky and earth, and a strange black lotus, thousands of meters tall, stood quietly in the sky.

  This black lotus has dozens of vines, and each vine is covered with countless black lotus flowers, mysterious and noble.

  "Finally achieved Golden Immortal", Li Yi stood on the Black Lotus and murmured: "The Sword Dao of Slaughter has also made some progress".

  Sighing with emotion, Li Yi gazed down at the vast and desolate land below, a smile spreading across his face. "This desolate land will be my stage from now on," he said, his eyes flashing with confidence.
