From Sword to Slaughter: Evolution

As the energy light burst forth, the energy within Lin Luoluo had almost completely been absorbed and refined. She glanced down at Spettare, her eyes narrowing, a glint of killing intent flashing in them.

Spettare smirked coldly. Once they left the lotus platforms, he was determined to find a way to kill Lin Luoluo. The rewards from the first lotus platform would undoubtedly be enormous. Allowing Lin Luoluo to live would only be a future threat.

"Just wait. You won't leave this place alive," he sneered.

Lin Luoluo ignored his words and turned her gaze upward. Above her, the sky was now filled with a radiant white light. These beams of light, powerful energy forms, began to rain down upon the warriors like sunlight, covering their bodies.

"Such powerful energy!" Ye Fan exclaimed in surprise. "Too bad I can't absorb it."

Despite his amazement, Ye Fan was filled with regret. If he could absorb this energy and increase his energy points, that would be amazing.

"Hurry up and grow stronger. The Martial Master level is still too weak," Ye Fan muttered as he watched Lin Luoluo.

"So warm, such powerful energy," Lin Luoluo marveled as the white light enveloped her. The energy was similar to the white light from earlier, but this time, it was far more potent. Her position on the first lotus platform allowed her to absorb even more of this energy.

The Chaos Divine Art began to operate at full force, drawing the massive amounts of white energy into her body. Her figure seemed almost crystalline as she absorbed and refined the energy.

Every warrior seated on the lotus platforms began absorbing the energy, while those who couldn't secure a seat settled on the ground, meditating. Though they could only absorb a fraction of the energy, it was still a significant boost.

As Lin Luoluo absorbed the energy, she suddenly felt something strange. The lotus platform beneath her started glowing, becoming a radiant white lotus. It was stunning to behold.

"Hmm?"

In that moment, an odd vision appeared in Lin Luoluo's mind. She saw a young man, his face indistinct, practicing sword techniques. His swordsmanship was unparalleled, so refined that even Lin Luoluo felt inferior.

The scene shifted rapidly, showing the youth's growth and experiences. Lin Luoluo felt as if she were living through his life, witnessing his path as a Martial Saint, and ultimately, his ascension into the divine realm as a Martial God.

These were the memories of a Martial Saint, preserved in the form of a lingering image!

Though only moments passed, Lin Luoluo felt as if she had experienced an entire lifetime. The insights and experiences were priceless—this was the path of a Martial Saint who had ascended beyond mortality.

Slowly, Lin Luoluo opened her eyes. She had fully absorbed the energy, and as she did, her aura had transformed.

"Huh?" Ye Fan noticed the change. "Did she break through again!?"

Just recently, Lin Luoluo had broken through to the ninth rank, and now she had already ascended to the Martial Master level. Her growth was astonishing, as if she were progressing at the speed of light.

The white energy light began to dissipate, and warriors started waking from their cultivation, opening their eyes one by one.

Crack, crack—

The lotus platforms beneath them began to crack and splinter.

Boom!

The moment Lin Luoluo stood up, the lotus platform beneath her shattered completely. With a swift movement, she jumped away just as the second and third lotus platforms began to collapse one after another.

"It's over," many warriors muttered in disappointment. If they could continue absorbing the energy, it would have been incredible for their growth.

Spettare also leaped down from his platform, his eyes immediately locking onto Lin Luoluo.

"It's time to settle this," he growled menacingly.

Clang—

In the blink of an eye, Spettare drew a large battle saber. The hilt of the saber had a pair of eerie, glowing eyes.

An S-rank weapon?!

Lin Luoluo's expression changed slightly as she recognized the weapon's potency. It was clearly no ordinary blade.

"You think your sword is powerful? Well, I've just acquired an S-rank weapon too," Spettare said, laughing triumphantly. "This secret realm is truly a treasure trove."

He licked his lips, his eyes gleaming with excitement. "But not all S-rank weapons are created equal. Soon, you'll find out just how inferior yours is."

Ye Fan scoffed at Spettare's arrogance. "He has no idea. I am the king of S-rank weapons."

Lin Luoluo remained calm. "Is that so?" she said quietly.

Before Spettare could respond, he charged forward, brandishing his saber. The blade whistled through the air as he swung it at Lin Luoluo with immense force.

Boom!

A wave of terrifying energy surged toward Lin Luoluo, carving deep gashes into the ground.

Water Dragon Shield!

Lin Luoluo didn't flinch. With a swift motion, she drew her sword, unleashing a surge of water energy that coiled into the shape of a dragon, forming a shield.

Boom!

The violent energy clashed with the water dragon shield, but the shield held firm, blocking the attack.

"Die!" Spettare roared, leaping through the air with his saber poised to strike.

Clang!

Lin Luoluo met his attack head-on, her sword clashing with his saber. As their weapons collided, the eerie eyes on Spettare's saber glowed red, and the eyeballs seemed to swivel unnervingly.
