Chapter 138: Chapter 133 Upgrade

The Godslaying Sword truly favors the life spirit, with flesh and blood coming second.

The Quick Blade Mantis has very low spirituality, yet its flesh and blood are of good quality.

The one truly spiritual is the Black Horned God. This guy is far from divine, yet his spiritual power is immensely strong, even stronger than Gao Xuan.

The Black Horned God divided his spirit into thousands of parts, leaving a piece in each mantis brain.

As long as one mantis remains alive, the Black Horned God can slowly restore his power.

Unfortunately, the Black Horned God was unlucky, encountering Gao Xuan and the Celestial Dragon Eye.

The thunder skill of the Celestial Dragon Eye is most effective against the divine soul. The Black Horned God, being a spirit race without a true body, is easily obliterated by thunder skill despite his strong spiritual power.

The scattered silver light in the air is the spirit core left behind after the Black Horned God’s death.

The Godslaying Sword turned, absorbing all the silver light into the sword.

The silver light was swiftly absorbed by the Godslaying Sword, the blood glow on the blade intensified by two degrees.

The Godslaying Sword last slew Cao Xiong and Qu Xing, shattering the carved silver jug and gaining much spirituality.

The spirituality of the Black Horned God is higher, a great benefit to the Godslaying Sword this time.

Yet the numerous mantis corpses did not suit the Godslaying Sword’s taste. Gao Xuan still used the Godslaying Sword to handle all the corpses.

Gao Xuan mainly wanted to clean up the scene, not wanting others to see the mantis bodies.

From the state of the bodies, one could easily deduce his abilities.

After dealing with the mantis corpses, the blood-colored flame light on the Godslaying Sword soared, just a hair away from the Silver Level.

The Godslaying Sword is originally a golden-level marvel; as long as it has enough spiritual energy, it can continuously elevate its energy level.

Gao Xuan felt that it was the environment of the Pegasus Star that restricted the Godslaying Sword from breaking through the Bronze Level limitation.

Gao Xuan’s gaze shifted to the black round mirror, a passage to Negative Space.

The black round mirror shimmered faintly, mysterious like a star river.

The powerful force of the spatial barrier completely blocked Gao Xuan’s spiritual sensing.

The Six-winged Celestial Cicada gently chirped, reminding Gao Xuan that it was not safe inside.

Gao Xuan probed the Godslaying Sword into the mirror, the blade slipped in like water, causing a faint ripple on the mirror.

The spatial barrier was thus breached, and Gao Xuan sensed the situation across.

Inside was an open plain, with various vegetation and some birds and beasts.

The environment of Negative Space is very much like a mirror of Positive Cosmos Space. However, there is no true substance there; everything is a composition of energy.

This is a very peculiar state, hard even for Gao Xuan to accurately describe.

Using terms like immortal realm or hell from Huaxia Civilization, in fact, gives a more vivid and accurate metaphor.

Negative Space is such a world beyond physical rules, solely following special energy rules.

From his previous life, Gao Xuan understood some of the energy rules of Negative Space.

After all, humans cannot survive in Negative Space long-term, and the main battleground is in Positive Space, so there wasn’t much need to study Negative Space.

Negative Space also contains various divinities; even strong humans are unwilling to venture deep into it.

Gao Xuan, upon being reborn, felt Negative Space was akin to a treasure trove. Just a suitable method of excavation was needed.

The entrance to Negative Space before him was clearly a good opportunity.

Not detecting any danger, Gao Xuan stepped into the mirror.

Space fluctuated, his spirit shook, and it felt as if he were thrown into a tumbling washing machine, with space spinning wildly.

After about two seconds, the turbulent space abruptly became still.

This shift from motion to stillness occurred without any transition or forewarning.

Although Gao Xuan’s body was not impacted, his spirit faced severe strain.

Fortunately, his spiritual strength was robust, allowing him to withstand it.

If it were Yun Qingshang in his place, just this spiritual shock might cause a loss of consciousness.

In Negative Space, even a brief loss of consciousness would result in the body being rapidly eroded and energy-saturated by Negative Space energy.

Once in such a state, recovery would be impossible.

With no reservations in Negative Space, Gao Xuan freely opened the Celestial Dragon Eye to survey the surroundings.

The main reason is that the Celestial Dragon Eye, a marvel, can channel source power to protect the body well.

The source power energy of Negative Space is akin to strong acid to humans. Just a few deep breaths here could be fatal.

The trait of marvels is that they are not eroded by Negative Space energy. Many marvels are found in Negative Space.

The Celestial Dragon Eye acts like a filter, removing harmful elements from the source power.

Negative Space has no source power level restrictions, which isn’t good for Gao Xuan. He can’t directly absorb the source power here; Negative Space lifeforms have no such limitation, and it’s no surprise if a Golden Level Negative Space lifeform suddenly appears.

However, Negative Space is still very rich in resources.

For example, the spirit race and various marvels.

Gao Xuan estimated that, based on his current state, he could at most stay in Negative Space for ten days. Any longer, and he would be overwhelmed.

Once the body is eroded by energy, reversal becomes impossible. This erosion occurs at the source power layer and cannot be resolved by replacing organs.

Ten days would be enough.

The black mountains, black trees, black grass, and various animals and birds are mostly black.

No wonder that guy called himself the Black Horned God. Maybe that guy was a sheep here.

Everything in Negative Space is not illusory. Whether it’s the land, mountains, or flora and fauna, all feel quite real, each with its habits and wisdom.

A beast as huge as a lion has already spotted Gao Xuan. Without hesitation, it lunged straight at him.
