This was the first time he had used the Finishing Move ’Mountain Shattering Earth Splitting Slash’ since it had been upgraded!
Tang Yi still didn’t know just how much power Mountain Shattering Earth Splitting Slash could unleash after being upgraded and paired with his new weapon.
Facing an army of several thousand Demon Beasts—the weakest being Level 4 and the strongest Level 6—Tang Yi was absolutely thrilled, excited beyond belief.
Once the majority of the Demon Beasts entered his attack range, Tang Yi gripped his Ice Sword, leaped high into the air, raised the blade over his head, and then slammed it down with immense force.
"The leveling frenzy begins now!"
"Mountain Shattering Earth Splitting Slash!"
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Tang Yi shot forward three or four meters, landing with a single bound before the Demon Beast army and smashing his Ice Sword into the earth.
Instantly, a massive red zone materialized on the ground before Tang Yi. Within it, enormous fissures tore open with a deafening rumble. Scorching magma erupted from the cracks, and torrents of crimson flames swept across the area like a hurricane.
And yet!
When the magma sprayed onto the Demon Beasts, some of them were... actually frozen? They turned into solid blocks of ice right in the middle of the inferno?
The scene was bizarre beyond compare!
However, these instantly frozen Demon Beasts seemed even more fragile than the others. In the blink of an eye after being encased in ice, without even appearing to be burned by the magma or flames, they simply vanished into nothingness, disappearing from the face of the earth!
The full power of Mountain Shattering Earth Splitting Slash had barely begun to unfold, yet a large number of the frozen Demon Beasts had already perished and vanished, instantly clearing a massive swathe through the army’s ranks!
Even Tang Yi hadn’t anticipated this effect; he, too, was utterly shocked!
’I never thought that using the Ice Sword to cast Mountain Shattering Earth Splitting Slash would have such a miraculous effect!’
The Frozen effect of the Ice Sword had actually been applied to Mountain Shattering Earth Splitting Slash, a fire-based Skill! This changed the Skill’s effect from Flames Filling the Sky to Ice and Fire Two Realms, multiplying its power!!
This wasn’t as simple as one plus one; the devastation caused by the clash of ice and fire was far more powerful than damage from a single attribute!!
At this moment, the entire twenty-by-twenty-meter area covered by the Skill was not only furnace-hot but also radiated waves of chilling frost. Heat and cold alternated as chaotic streams of blue and red energy flew everywhere, subjecting thousands of Demon Beasts to unimaginable torture and damage!
The scene created by the current Mountain Shattering Earth Splitting Slash was more terrifying than ever before!
Have you ever seen a picture of erupting magma and sky-filling flames, all interspersed with solid ice billowing frigid air?
Have you ever seen the terrifying sight of Demon Beasts not being burned to death, nor frozen to death, but simply vanishing into nothingness?
If an ordinary person were to witness this, they would probably lose control of their bowels and bladder, scared half to death!
Even Tang Yi, the one who had caused it all, was shocked speechless. How could anyone else possibly withstand such a terrifying sight?
’The horrors of the Eighteen Layers of Hell are probably nothing more than this, right?’
RUMBLE!
The power of Mountain Shattering Earth Splitting Slash continued to rage!
Streams of magma continued to erupt from the fissures as torrents of flame swept back and forth. Thousands of Demon Beasts were blasted into the air by the magma and scorched relentlessly by the flames. Within a few breaths, they were reduced to floating ash, not even bones remaining.
Thousands more Demon Beasts were touched by the magma and licked by the flames, only to transform into beast-shaped blocks of ice. The next moment, under the alternating heat and cold, they vanished into nothingness, leaving not even a trace behind!
The entire field was a scene of flames filling the sky and billowing cold air. Everywhere... there was nothing but the miserable hows of Demon Beasts.
The air was filled with a smell that was both chilling and acridly burnt...
A moment later, the fissures in the ground sealed shut. The magma turned into pools of water that seeped into the earth, and the flames dwindled into wisps of smoke. Everything became calm and still once more.
But the alternating hot and cold temperatures lingered, and the acrid, burnt smell still hung in the air. The death wails of the Demon Beasts seemed to echo in one’s ears, as the surviving beasts, strong despite their grievous wounds, glared at Tang Yi with pure hatred.
Everything served as a testament to the unimaginably horrific slaughter that had just taken place.
"Heh!"
Seeing this, Tang Yi was incredibly excited.
The twenty-by-twenty-meter area before him, though it had seemingly returned to normal, had actually sunk by nearly half a meter. It was now covered in a thick layer of black ash and bone fragments, a truly disgusting and terrifying sight.
Only a few hundred Demon Beasts remained standing on the battlefield.
Some had not been caught in the Skill’s area of effect, while others had managed to escape before its full power erupted.
Among these several hundred Demon Beasts, a few powerful ones were particularly eye-catching.
These five were all Level 6 Demon Beasts, equivalent to the Battle Emperor Level!
Tang Yi clearly remembered luring a total of seven Level 6 Demon Beasts. Now, only five remained standing. This meant that two Level 6 Demon Beasts had been killed on the spot during that terrifying, annihilating strike, perishing alongside thousands of Level 4 and Level 5 Demon Beasts.
Before Tang Yi even had a moment to be surprised, his mind suddenly erupted with a series of dings. The sound was incessant, like a frantic string of musical notes ringing rapidly and endlessly in his head.
"Ding! Congratulations, Player Tang Yi, for killing the Level 5 Demon Beast, Golden Centipede Rat. You have obtained 421,541 Experience Value and 0 Battle God Value."
"Ding! Congratulations, Player Tang Yi, for killing the Level 5 Demon Beast, Purple Immortal Sparrow. You have obtained 474,123 Experience Value and 0 Battle God Value."
"Ding! Congratulations, Player Tang Yi, for killing the Level 4 Demon Beast, Giant Tan Goose. You have obtained 65,412 Experience Value and 0 Battle God Value."
"Ding! Congratulations, Player Tang Yi, for killing the Level 4 Demon Beast, Crimson Sand Beast. You have obtained 32,654 Experience Value and 0 Battle God Value."
"Ding! Congratulations, Player Tang Yi, for killing the Level 6 Demon Beast, Seven Ministers Dragon Luo Leopard. You have obtained 6,523,654 Experience Value and 10 Battle God Value."
"..."
"Ding! Congratulations, Player Tang Yi, for leveling up. Current Level: One-Star Battle Emperor."
The notifications in Tang Yi’s mind rang continuously for some time before finally stopping. The waves of pleasure from gaining so much Experience Value thrilled him, and he savored the feeling.
Now, after reaching the Battle Emperor Level, Tang Yi needed one hundred million points of Experience Value to advance a single level!
Only after killing several thousand Demon Beasts—most of them Level 4 and Level 5—did he finally obtain the one hundred million Experience Value needed to advance from the Battle Emperor Level to the One-star Battle Emperor Level!
His strength was now several times greater than before!
Furthermore, although the drop rate was extremely low, killing so many Demon Beasts had still netted Tang Yi a few pieces of Earth Tier equipment.
However, Earth Tier items were no longer enough to satisfy Tang Yi, so he didn’t even look at them. He stored them directly in his system inventory, planning to sell them to the System Store when he had a free moment.
Besides, even if he wanted to look, he didn’t have the time. After all, there were still a few surviving Level 6 Demon Beasts and several hundred remaining Level 4 and Level 5 Demon Beasts right in front of him, glaring menacingly as they waited for Tang Yi to come and slay them.
