Chapter 454: Deadly Sword

"Under the celestial realm, facing my Death Extinction Blade, no one can survive!"

Duan Qinglan said in a cold voice, his eyes flashing with a bloodthirsty chill, making it impossible for anyone to meet his gaze.

As his words fell, three black blades above his head whistled through the air with a sharpness that tore through the space. The speed was extremely fast, as if a cold light flashed by. Just as Qin Jun reacted, the three black blades had already approached his chest.

"Oops!"

Qin Jun cursed inwardly and instinctively dodged. This kind of straight-line attack didn't even require him to activate his Future Insight.

But it was already too late!

The three black blades pierced into Qin Jun's chest. This scene shocked Qi Xie, and a smirk appeared at the corner of Duan Qinglan's mouth.

Thump! Thump...

Time seemed to stand still. Qin Jun's pupils contracted, his heartbeat accelerated. Just as he realized the danger, the Purple Star Emperor's Dao Fruit within his body suddenly erupted with a strange force, directly sucking the three black blades into his body, into the Purple Star Emperor's Dao Fruit, and they disappeared without a trace.

What's going on...

Qin Jun was dumbfounded. His body stiffened in mid-air, and he was surprised to find that he felt no pain.

Meanwhile, Qi Xie and Duan Qinglan thought he was seriously injured and unable to move.

The atmosphere suddenly became eerie. Qin Jun stood still in mid-air, while Duan Qinglan looked at him with a mocking expression, and Qi Xie trembled in fear.

After about five breaths, Qin Jun subconsciously reached for his chest and found no wounds, not even a tear in his clothes.

"Uh... Are you kidding me?" Qin Jun asked with a strange expression on his face, looking at Duan Qinglan on the ground.

"Hmph! Once my Death Extinction Blade enters the body, it will destroy the opponent's Golden Elixir or Dao Fruit. Soon, you will burst and die!" Duan Qinglan sneered, as if Qin Jun was already a dead man.

So frightening?

Qin Jun was also taken aback and quickly probed into his body with his divine sense.

However, his internal organs and the Purple Star Emperor's Dao Fruit were intact, and he couldn't detect any trace of the Death Extinction Blade, as if it had never appeared.

Is it really that terrifying?

The strange expression on Qin Jun's face became even more pronounced. Just then, a system prompt sounded:

"Ding! The Purple Star Emperor's Dao Fruit has absorbed the Death Extinction Blade's divine ability. The inheritance is now beginning!"

The system prompt suddenly sounded, followed by a surge of unfamiliar memories flooding into Qin Jun's mind, causing him to tremble all over.

Duan Qinglan's smile became even colder as he watched this scene. Among his peers, he had never been defeated!

"It seems that only Dongfang Ji and Little Demon Lord are my true opponents!" Duan Qinglan thought arrogantly, with a hint of loneliness and sighing like snow in his life.

He glanced at the bewildered Qin Jun with pity, then leaped into the air and flew directly towards a distant place. Once he hit his Death Extinction Blade, death was certain!

As for Qi Xie, he was completely disregarded by Duan Qinglan.

He had come to the Celestial Observation Conference not for luck, but to challenge strong opponents.

After he left, Qi Xie nervously called out, "Your Majesty, are you okay?"

Duan Qinglan had talked about the Death Extinction Blade so terrifyingly that he didn't dare to approach.

Qin Jun was in a state of comprehension and did not answer him.

Qi Xie didn't dare to leave him behind and could only stand there waiting, clenching his fists with a sense of unwillingness.

...

In the void, a mysterious palace floated quietly. There were no stars, no land, and the light was dim, as if shrouded in thick fog.

Eighteen people were sitting in the palace, wearing purple-gold robes, each in a different posture. In front of them, there were floating light spheres, showing scenes from the Celestial Observation Conference, including the scene of Qin Jun comprehending the Death Extinction Blade.

"These two little guys are quite good," said a mysterious woman wearing a black veil, smiling as she raised her delicate hand to draw out the two light spheres showing Qin Jun and Duan Qinglan. The others glanced over, their expressions indifferent.

"They're just average, not top-notch," an old man shook his head and laughed, and the others nodded in agreement.

The woman in the black veil narrowed her eyes, a hint of amusement hidden in them. She murmured, "I didn't expect it to be you."

The others began to discuss.

"This Celestial Observation Conference has quite a few good talents."

"Compared to the one three thousand years ago, it's still far from enough."

"Come on, do you think it's easy to encounter a genius like Zun Ru Dao?"

"Indeed, Zun Ru Dao is a rare talent that appears once in a thousand years. It's said that he has already begun to challenge the Taiyi Profound Immortal?"

"Hmph, don't mention Zun Ru Dao. This kid is not a good person, he's two-faced!"

When Zun Ru Dao's name was mentioned, the people started to argue. Hearing this, the woman in the black veil shook her head and smiled. Then she cast her gaze on Qin Jun, her eyes filled with a smile that was difficult for ordinary people to fathom, thinking to herself, "Zun Ru Dao can only show off in this era. Compared to you, he's far behind!"

...

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for comprehending the Death Extinction Blade's divine ability!"

The system prompt sounded, and Qin Jun's eyes regained clarity.

He showed a look of pleasant surprise, not because of the Death Extinction Blade's divine ability, but because of the Purple Star Emperor's Dao Fruit's ability to absorb divine abilities.

This was simply incredible!

Qin Jun was ecstatic. Did this mean that in the future, he wouldn't have to fear the divine abilities of his enemies? He might even be able to assimilate their divine abilities for his own use!

But he had to be careful. Perhaps it was because Duan Qinglan's cultivation was not strong enough. If it were a cultivator above the Celestial Realm, he would probably still have to kneel.

"System, is there any limitation to the ability of the Purple Star Emperor's Dao Fruit to absorb divine abilities?" Qin Jun quickly asked in his mind.

"I'm not sure. The origin of the Purple Star Emperor's Dao Fruit is unknown, and the system cannot thoroughly analyze it," the system replied helplessly, with a hint of surprise in its tone.

Even the system couldn't see through it?

Qin Jun's joy was evident on his face, as if he had unexpectedly found a fortune.

Perhaps this would be his opportunity to surpass the system.

For a moment, Qin Jun was in high spirits. The technique of the Death Blade had been completely imprinted in his mind, a demonic technique that coincided with the demonic energy within him.

After breaking through the Earthly Immortal realm, he could barely draw out the demonic energy within him.

With a thought, he waved his right hand, and strands of demonic energy overflowed from his body, converging above his head to form three black blades.

Watching this scene, Qi Xie below widened his eyes and exclaimed, "That is..."

Under his disbelieving gaze, Qin Jun waved his right hand, and the three Death Blades swiftly traversed the void, flying towards a mountain peak several miles away. With a loud bang, the mountain peak was directly shattered, and the fierce wind howled in all directions. The entire process took less than a breath's time, demonstrating the incredible speed of the Death Blades.

"This is the correct way to unleash the power of the Death Blades!"

Muttering to himself, Qin Jun was previously frightened by Duan Qinglan's exaggerated praise.

However, after comprehending the Death Blades, he truly understood their terror.

Once the Death Blades entered the body, the demonic energy transformed into death energy, corroding everything within the enemy's body. Even if they did not die on the spot, it would cause permanent damage. Those with a cultivation level lower than his by a major realm would basically find it difficult to escape death. The most crucial point was the unimaginable speed of the Death Blades, making it impossible to defend against.

I recommend a book by a friend called "Flower City: The Clairvoyant Immortal Doctor." You can tell the genre just from the title. If you're interested, you should check it out.
