Chapter 454: Chapter 454: Death Extinction Knife

"Below the Immortal Realm, facing my Death Extinction Blade, no one can survive!"

Duan Qinglan said coldly, his eyes flashing with a bloodthirsty chill, deterring anyone from meeting his gaze.

As his words fell, the three black blades above his head whistled out with the sharpness that seemed to tear through the air. They moved incredibly fast, like a glint of cold light, and by the time Qin Jun had reacted, the three black blades had already closed in on his chest.

"Damn it!"

Qin Jun cursed silently, instinctively dodging. He didn’t need to use "Reverse the Future" for such a straightforward attack.

But it was too late!

The three black blades pierced into Qin Jun’s chest. The sight horrified Qi Xie, and Duan Qinglan’s mouth curled up in a smirk.

Thump! Thump...

Time seemed to stand still, Qin Jun’s pupils shrank, his heartbeat quickened, and just as he feared the worst, the Ziwei Emperor Star within him suddenly stirred into action. The three black blades were sucked into his body by a strange power, entering the Heavenly Fruit of the Ziwei Emperor Star and disappearing without a trace.

What’s going on...

Qin Jun was stupefied, his body stiff in the air, and to his amazement, he felt no pain.

Qi Xie and Duan Qinglan, however, thought he was grievously injured and unable to move.

The atmosphere turned eerie in an instant. Qin Jun hovered, perplexed in the air, while Duan Qinglan’s face wore a mocking look, and Qi Xie shivered with fear.

About five breaths of time passed, Qin Jun subconsciously reached for his chest, only to find no wound, not even his clothes were torn.

"Er... are you joking with me?"

Qin Jun asked Duan Qinglan on the ground with a baffled look on his face.

"Hmph! Once my Death Extinction Blade enters the body, it will destroy the enemy’s Golden Elixir or Dao Fruit, and soon you will die from your body exploding!" Duan Qinglan sneered, as if Qin Jun was already a dead man.

That scary?

Qin Jun was taken aback and hurriedly sent his Divine Consciousness into his body.

However, his internal organs and the Heavenly Fruit of the Ziwei Emperor Star were all intact, with no trace of the Death Extinction Blade to be found, as if it had never existed.

Really that terrifying?

The perplexed look on Qin Jun’s face grew even denser, and just then, a system notification sounded:

"Ding! Ziwei Emperor Star has devoured Death Extinction Blade’s Divine Power; inheritance begins now!"

The sudden system notification followed by a surge of strange memories into Qin Jun’s mind shook his entire body.

Witnessing this, Duan Qinglan’s face grew colder, as he had never lost among his peers!

"It seems only Dongfang Ji and Lil’ Devil Monarch are my true opponents!"

Duan Qinglan thought arrogantly, with a lonely sentiment akin to the snow-like solitude of life.

He cast a pitying glance at the bewildered Qin Jun, leapt up, and flew off towards the distant horizon, convinced that a hit from his Death Extinction Blade meant certain death!

As for Qi Xie, he didn’t even register in his consideration.

He didn’t come to the Heavenly Convention for qi movement; he was there to challenge mighty foes.

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

Duan Qinglan had hyped up his Death Extinction Blade so much that Qi Xie truly didn’t dare to approach.

Qin Jun, caught in the throes of comprehension, didn’t reply.

Qi Xie didn’t feel right about just abandoning him and leaving, so he stood there waiting, his fists clenched tightly, full of indignation.

The talents at the Heavenly Convention were all too strong; perhaps he wasn’t the worst of them, but he wasn’t remarkable either, which was hard to bear.

...

In the midst of the void, a mysterious palace floated silently. There were no stars here, no land, only dim light that seemed to be permeated with fog.

Inside the palace, eighteen individuals were seated around. They wore purple-gold robes, sitting differently on stone chairs. In front of them floated several orbs showing various scenes of the Heavenly Convention, among them was the scene of Qin Jun comprehending the Death Extinction Blade.

"These two youngsters are not bad."

One of the mysterious women wearing a black veil said with a laugh, raising her hand and drawing out the two orbs with Qin Jun and Duan Qinglan in them, while the others looked over with indifferent expressions.

"They’re average, not top-notch." An old man shook his head and chuckled, and the others nodded in agreement.

The woman with the black veil narrowed her eyes slightly, hiding a smile in her gaze, murmuring to herself, "I didn’t expect it to be you."

The others stirred into a discussion.

"This Heavenly Convention does have quite a few promising seeds."

"Compared to the one three thousand years ago, it still falls short."

"Come on, do you think a genius like Zun Rudao is easy to come by?"

"Indeed, Zun Rudao is a once-in-ten-thousand-years prodigy. Rumor has it he’s begun to challenge the Mysterious Immortal of Taiyi?"

"Hmph, let’s not talk about Zun Rudao; that kid is no good, ingratiating and treacherous!"

Zun Rudao’s name sparked a heated debate among them, causing the woman in the black veil to shake her head and smile. Then she turned her gaze to Qin Jun, her eyes brimming with a curiosity incomprehensible to ordinary people: "Zun Rudao can only strut around in this era. Compared to you, he falls far short!"

...

"Ding! Congratulations, host, for comprehending Death Extinction Blade’s Divine Power!"

The system’s notification brought clarity back to Qin Jun’s eyes.

His face lit up with surprise, not because of the Death Extinction Blade’s Divine Power itself, but because of the Ziwei Emperor Star’s ability to absorb Divine Powers.

Simply awesome!

Qin Jun was thrilled. Wouldn’t that mean he no longer had to fear his enemies’ Divine Powers?

He could even turn his enemies’ Divine Powers to his advantage!

Yet caution is the parent of safety. Perhaps because Duan Qinglan’s cultivation was not strong, if an Immortal of a higher realm were to use a Divine Power against him, he would probably still be in trouble.

"System, does the Ziwei Emperor Star’s ability have any limits?" Qin Jun quickly inquired within his mind.

"Unclear. The origin of the Ziwei Emperor Star is a mystery, and even the system cannot fully analyze it," the system replied helplessly, its tone unable to conceal a hint of astonishment.

Even the system couldn’t see through it?

Qin Jun’s spirits rose, thrilled with the unexpected bonus.

This might be his opportunity to surpass the system.

For the moment, Qin Jun’s mood was jubilant. The Death Extinction Blade’s Divine Power had been completely imprinted in his mind; it was a Demonic Dao Divine Power that suited him perfectly as he harbored demonic qi within.

After breaking through to the Earth Immortal Realm, he could barely manage to draw out the demonic qi inside him.

Thinking this, he waved his right hand, and strands of demonic qi emerged from his body, converging above his head to form three black blades.

Qi Xie was dumbfounded by this scene below, exclaiming, "Is that..."

Under his incredulous gaze, Qin Jun swung his hand and the three Death Extinction Blades swept through the void at an astonishing speed, hurtling toward a towering mountain a few miles away. With a loud bang, they completely demolished the mountain, unleashing a fierce wind in all directions. The whole process took less than a breath’s time, demonstrating how swift the Death Extinction Blade was.

"That’s the proper way to unleash the Death Extinction Blade!"

Qin Jun muttered to himself, his previous fright at Duan Qinglan’s frightening portrayal dissipating.

Only after understanding the Death Extinction Blade did he realize its true horror.

Once the blade enters the body, the demonic qi transforms into death qi, eroding everything inside the enemy. Even if it doesn’t cause immediate death, it leads to permanent damage. Unless the opponent’s cultivation is a whole realm higher than his, they usually can’t avoid fatal catastrophe, and what’s most crucial is the blade’s incredible speed, which makes it nearly impossible to defend against.
