The Power To Erase It All 4

What was killing intent? Simply by its name, it is the intent to... well, kill. The stronger your desire to kill, the stronger and harder it is to hide your killing intent. This makes it easier for those without sharp senses to sense killing intent.

Killing Intent normally can be used to paralyze or stun targets. If your killing intent reaches a high enough level, it can fuse into your attack, boosting your ability to kill. This would give you the power to kill even the unkillable.

This is something Helian Xun came to realize as her attacks rained down upon me, she felt like the very laws in her way were dying before her attacks... but let's take a step back, just who was Helian Xun?

Helian Xun was the daughter of the now-dead Sea Emperor. She was the next in line to take the throne, at which point her father would have left to go seek a greater plane to grow stronger in. From birth, she was a genius. A talent with unmatched capability, and above everything else she loved learning.

The formations you see today were improved upon in some way shape or form by her. This Sea Dragon God avatar was something she created as she wanted to see if avatars could come together to create stronger avatars.

The day she would have taken the throne, she planned to set out and conquer this whole lower realm... but to think someone would attack her home, steal her family treasure, followed by her father's death and the whole sea race being slaughtered? But what enraged her the most was seeing an air breather with a capability above her own.

Her, a level 7 Soul transformation realm expert needed to use a formation to deal with a level 1 Qi Condensation. Her pride was hurt, it was even more hurt... no, it was destroyed by her getting mocked. Every word that came out was like daggers that stabbed in her ears, if she didn't kill the hateful bastard, she would not be able to live in peace.

"You're letting your killing intent control you, you birthed it, so you control it," I said while dodging the Sea Dragon God avatar attacks, leaving Helian Xun gritting her teeth. her enemy was teaching her mid-battle,

"I'm doing this so you don't go off thinking if I mastered this, I could have won, or some other nonsense," I said making veins cover her head.

"You're not going to regret this." She asked, her killing intent twisting her voice and turning it demonic. mortals who heard her voice would be swallowed by killing intent, wanting nothing more than to slaughter everyone around them.

"Haha, don't worry. everything will be fine. After all... you... are... weak." I said with a smile. At those words, Helian Xun went blank. it was like the world had just disappeared, and the killing intent she gave off just disappeared.

What would happen if someone is pushed to the extreme of something? Well, in Helian Xun's case, her extreme hunger to kill me led her brain to be swallowed with that intent. but it didn't send her into some mindless monster, but a killing machine. She was enraged to such a level, she went calm. These were the extremes,

"Hey, you didn't die or anything, right? did the air you were breathing kill you?" I asked in confusion as the air around her just changed. I blinked slightly, and as soon as my eyes were opened, I found the avatar's tail stabbing toward my forehead. I easily dodged, confusion on my face while dodging the follow-up attacks.

rains of attacks followed, but the more the avatar attacked, the more refined its skill grew as if growing and adapting to best kill me. I had a raised eyebrow at this, so I played defense, wanting to see how far this avatar could grow.

'Amazing, it's even learning to best control its power. this way it could show its full power without the heavens bitching about it... is bitching a word? Now that I think about it, is there a dictionary in this world? I should go out and see what other stories are on other continents, I wonder if I should try to write a book.' My mind began to wonder while my body continued to dodge. if Helien Xun could hear my thoughts.... who knows what would have happened?

Boom

After hours of fighting, I was soon forced to block a blow. But weirdly, the force from that blow traveled through my body, and into space, causing space to ripple like water. I coughed up some blood, frowning slightly while making some space between myself and her.

'it looks like killing intent ensures damage I take can't easily be healed from. interesting,' I thought while killing intent gathered into my fist. I looked at it for some time, before wondering if I could fuse this with other intents. 

There were many types of intents, bad and good. Killing intent was just one of the more popular ones. Sex Intent, ill intent, good intent, and the list went on. As I was thinking, I suddenly looked towards Helian Xun who was suddenly letting out a roar at the sky. the joy from hitting me hit her, but seeing as I ignored her... well, it enraged her.

Her killing intent fused into her body, down to her very blood. The avatar began to transform, taking on a demonic form that was swallowed with killing intent. At this, I frowned as the boost of power she had gotten was high.

'I guess i'm stupid. I have been infusing my willpower into my attacks but never myself. What would happen if I infuse my spirit armor into myself? I'm so embarrassed. this is so embarrassing.' I thought while covering my face, but I sighed while moving the blindfold as I needed to take this battle seriously with this new improvement in strength. 

"Be gentle. this is my first time facing something this huge... that sounded g..." I didn't get to finish my words as I suddenly moved, dodging an attack that reached point B from point A almost instantly. The laws that governed this lower plane couldn't hold this much power, and adding the fact it was controlled, you had a scene where she could ignore these laws. The speed limit? No, she might as well be teleporting.

"thats so cool!" I cried while I punched forward to clash with the Dragon claw. The avatar's power fell backward upon itself, and by adding my power, the dragon claw was destroyed... meanwhile, my fist shattered.

The speed at which she attacked made it feel like I was attacking an unstoppable object. this was mainly thanks to her being above the laws right now. So, when my fist clashed with the dragon claw moving at such speed, I of course shattered my fist. My martial arts capability head reached its limits as normally, I should have not been damaged as all of the force from the impact would have been controlled by me. but there were just too many things happening here.

'Wow... oh, this reminds me of something. something about how nothing could reach the speed of light because it would have infinite mass.' I thought while frowning. My shattered fist needed a lot of energy to recover thanks to the killing intent. adding how powerful this killing intent was... well, there was a chance I could die in this battle with my heart or brain hit.

"This is getting fun," I said while holding out my fists, I of course almost instantly recovered, I just had to use far more energy than normal to overwhelm the killing intent effect. Although there might be a more skillful way to do this, I didn't have the time for such things.

'Just when I was crying about how I couldn't lose in the lower realm, the heavens tried to humble me... for this, i'm grateful.' I thought while shooting forward, just as she was about to make her move. her attack instantly appeared where I was, hitting my afterimage. I shot toward the avatar, while Blue appeared, trying to suck the killing intent right out of her.

but to this, she shoots her killing intent into Blue, causing Blue to transform, overwhelmed by the killing intent. This led to Blue falling under her control, and it was aimed at me.

"I should update Blue so that doesn't happen again," I said with a frown, not liking what I was seeing. Was my attack being used against me? naw... I can't take this level of disrespect. I shot forward, taking control back of Blue... I had improved Blue on the spot. I can also use Killing Intent to do what she did after seeing her use it, so knowing how it works, I could create countermeasures around it.

Boom

We clashed, and again, the body part that clashed with the avatar shattered, but the avatar did suffer injuries. it was weird fighting someone whose movements were instant, this was even more so when the avatar stopped staying still and kept moving, taking full advantage of the fact its movements were instant.

I had to rely fully on my instincts to react and dodge her attacks since I couldn't keep up with any of her movements due to them being instant. I had to use Blue to try and hold her down so I could attack, or meet her attacks with my attacks. I was covered in injuries in a matter of minutes, each new injury taking longer to heal than the last.

"Your power to grow and adapt, it's not because of this weird state you are in. You're just that talented!" I said with a heated gaze. the flesh from my face had disappeared, revealing only bones and my beautiful eyes. All over my body were similar injuries, yet I wasn't bothered at all.

The avatar let out a roar while punching forward, it was running out of time so it began attacking quicker and faster to try and end the battle as soon as possible. I met her blow for blow, each blow damaging us, but I just used a lot of energy to quickly heal, while her avatar just regrew its missing limbs. I didn't heal my face and other such body parts as they were not needed in this battle.

'When was the last time I was using up so much energy.' I thought as my shattered arm grew, my energy was dropping. at this rate, it was a question of whether I would run out of energy before she ran out of time. I would of course win... why? Because I never lose.

Even against the Divine Phoenix Ancestor, I didn't lose, I heard how my body kept fighting even after I fainted... thats a win.

The avatar which was swallowed in killing intent suddenly had its killing intent gathered, taking the form of armor. My eyebrow raised, not seeing that coming. The Dragon claw shot forward, of course, it instantly appeared before me... and seeing as this was its final attack, I showed my respect by meeting the attack head-on.

Boom

The clash was heaven-shaking, the right side of my body turned to dust, while the avatar began to disappear, those within falling to the side. they had been swallowed by Helian Xun's killing intent, turning them into puppets that she could control.

"What a beautiful battle," I said while taking in the Qi from the air around me, using it to quickly recover. I was tired, I had to heal both body and mind. so for my spiritual energy to recover, I needed to go rest. but I couldn't help but just look at Helian Xun who floated on the water with a faint smile.

Because of her, I found ways to improve not just my martial arts, but my willpower and spirit armor and the new ways to use my intent...

at that moment, time came to a slow for me. My guard had just hit its lowest as I was going through the many possibilities for growth, adding how my mind was tired, and my instincts were not as sharp as if I was on guard... well, it gave the opening for someone to near me.

A red demonic sword pierced through Infinity, while I slowly turned to look at the sword in shock. I completely ignored the person holding the sword and paid full attention to the blade nearing my neck, which went on to pierce through me... but Fen Juechen wasn't happy. why? because that was an afterimage.

"I didn't see you as the type to flee." He said while looking at a few miles away, where I stood with a deep frown. the sudden teleportation, out of the blue without warning... well, let's say I had done some damage to myself while using far more energy than I would have normally.

"Flee? Was I supposed to take the sneak attack..." I wasn't allowed to talk, as with a flash, Fen Juechen exploded with unmatched speed, he shot toward me. but compared to the avatar I was fighting moments ago, this was light work... at least that was what I thought at first until Fen Juechen's strength reached greater heights.

At level 8 Soul transformation realm, he used the power of the sword to boost his power to a level rivaling that of the avatar. this left me speechless as I was forced to teleport once more, just in the nick of time to dodge his attack.

'I have to take this fight seriously. He should have been the one to drop the spear at my doorstep, he should also be the one to who Yun Che gave the news. this guy doesn't play fair, not even giving me a chance to speak.' I thought with a pout while healing my injuries from the sudden teleportation once more.

'He will start taking this battle seriously now...' Fen Juechen thought, he would have loved to be able to use this level of power to sneak attack me. but it gave off a strong aura which I would have sensed, 

he shot towards me, instantly appearing where I stood. this time I didn't teleport away, as Blue appeared, pulling him backward. He flashed, falling backward just in time to avoid me tapping him.

'Just the slightest touch from him might mean my downfall. I also have to keep strengthening my mind so my brain doesn't lag on his movement... how troublesome.' He thought while turning to face Blue, summoning a shield that held the power to seal away techniques that hit it. Blue was sucked into the shield, leaving me speechless as I couldn't use Blue all of the Sudden.

'This guy...' I thought while looking at his demonic power gathering to summon a bunch of insects. I couldn't help but feel like I had seen this somewhere. I frowned while trying to sense where he went, I even spread out my spirit sense, but he had disappeared.

I wanted to quickly teleport, just to find a formation had appeared, locking space down. My eyes twitched. the insects tried to reach me, but Infinity kept them far away... My eye twitched even more while I sensed something getting through Infinity. I turned, and watched as Fen Juechen's blade stabbed forward,

I sent a huge amount of energy into my body, boosting my speed to the limit, and allowing me to quickly dodge, while tapping forward, touching his neck. I wanted to tap him once more, just to pause. I slowly watched as the man I tapped disappeared, turning into a bunch of insects. I slowly looked down and saw the demonic sword had stabbed through my heart.

"This is revenge for my family. As you die, know your arrogance and stupidity is what killed you. To so easily give others so much information on yourself, if you're not a fool, I don't know what you are." Fen Juechen said softly into my ear from behind.

"What did you do?" I coughed with a frown,

"Wanting to die knowing how you couldn't sense me? Or how did the fake sword get through Infinity? But I'm not you, i'm not foolish enough to share my secrets." He said while sensing me send all of my energy into my heart.

"It's pointless, the quality of this sword's damages is above anything you can heal. You're dead." He said while pulling out his sword, and just watching me fall head first into the sea below, my body and soul crumbling away into dust... just for the dust to also disappear.

"Now... Mighty Heavenly Sword Region." He said while looking towards where Mighty Heavenly Sword Region should be. but all of a sudden, the sword was called by someone. he frowned while looking towards where the call came from, 

"I should have risked further injuries and killed you." While this was all going down, Xuanyuan Wentian had his palm stabbed through the old woman's chest.

"You should have, but you didn't see it worth it at the time. prideful immortal, what can a small mortal like myself do? right now, you don't even dare to show off your strength as you would die almost instantly, and this whole lower realm would be destroyed. All you can do is stand there, and allow me to take the bits of power you have left." He said with an evil smile while her body began to dry up.

"That may be... but no matter how strong you get, you will never be Wu Xian match." She said calmly, to which he sneered.

"Wu Xian should die any moment now. that fool who goes around telling people his secrets, he wouldn't get far in life." He said to which the old lady said nothing, simply buying as much time as was needed.

"Buying time for his so-called win... we will see." He said while closing his eyes, slowly sucking her dry while waiting for something. Soon, it was time, so he held out his palm, calling for his sword. it was out playing games long enough...
