Chapter 284 - Unleashing the Sword of Calmness

Dave came to a sudden realization that he could no longer send messages to Yudi, but he knew he could still access his own space world if something went wrong. With this in mind, he calmed himself and prepared to face the two demons standing before him.

"Hehehe, you've forced our hand," chuckled Renjel as his human form transformed into a massive 3-meter black wolf. His aura radiated a demonic presence. Similarly, Warcane abandoned his restraint, and Dave could feel the surge in their power as they embraced their true forms.

Swish! Their speed increased, catching Dave off guard. He was caught in their relentless assault and sent crashing to the ground.

Boom! The impact shook the earth as Dave struggled to endure the ferocious attacks of the two peak-tier Imperial Kings. Fortunately, his regenerative skills aided him in resisting most of the damage inflicted upon him.

"Die!" Warcane ascended into the air, gathering immense energy from the surroundings before hurling it towards Dave, who lay defenseless on the ground.

Closing his eyes, Dave composed himself. Gripping his sword tightly, he whispered, "To defeat an opponent, one must maintain a clear mind." As he faced his adversaries, Dave felt a surge of enlightenment wash over him, realizing that his Sword Heart Body was beginning to take effect.

[Ding! You have gained enlightenment.] [Sword Heart Body activated.] [Your sword strikes will now be five times more effective and stronger.] [Continue accumulating power; the more you accumulate, the better your new form will be unlocked.]

A smile graced Dave's face as he evaded Warcane's attack with his eyes still shut. Despite the devastation caused by Warcane's assault, Dave felt a sense of calmness envelop him.

Boom! Warcane's attack was powerful enough to decimate the surroundings. Yet, witnessing Dave's evasion with closed eyes, Warcane couldn't help but feel humiliated.

"Precision and swiftness need to be perfected," Dave continued to murmur, his body glowing as he accumulated greater comprehension.

Renjel sensed something amiss and roared, attempting to distract Dave's focus. However, a powerful force held Renjel back, while Dave's mind remained steady as a rock.

"Die!" Fueled by anger, Renjel lunged at Dave, but Dave swiftly repelled his attack with a single hand.

Boom! Dave coughed up blood, staggering five steps back, while Renjel was forced three steps away.

"What incredible resilience," Renjel looked at Dave with greed, captivated by the strength he possessed. It was rare for him to encounter a human with such a formidable body.

Dave remained unperturbed, continuing his murmurs. "Calmness can be attained through vanquishing your enemies."

Unexpectedly, Warcane materialized behind Dave, ready to unleash his full power in a lethal blow. "Die, human!" he bellowed, his anger surging as Dave continued to outwit him.

As the attack neared, Dave opened his eyes, perceiving time slowing down. His eyes exuded an aura of serenity and tranquility.

[Ding! You have comprehended a new form of the Sword of Calmness.]

Dave tightened his grip on his sword and declared, "Sword of Calmness, first form: Tranquil Whirlwind Slash!"

Tranquil Whirlwind Slash: This form emphasizes swift and graceful spinning movements while executing powerful slashes with the sword. The practitioner harnesses their inner calmness to create a whirlwind of harmonious energy around them. Each strike is executed with precise timing and controlled power, enabling the wielder to effortlessly slice through multiple opponents in a calm and focused manner.

With astonishing accuracy and swiftness, Dave slashed his sword while facing his back toward Warcane. Each strike carried an astounding amount of power, passing through Warcane's head and severing all his limbs. The entire event occurred in a split second, leaving Warcane unable to react, still believing he was about to strike Dave.

Dave smirked and sheathed his sword without giving Warcane another glance. Time seemed to return to its normal flow, and Warcane ceased all movement, his eyes filled with confusion.

"Why did you stop?" Renjel shouted, only to realize that Warcane's eyes had gone lifeless.

Clink! Suddenly, Warcane's body was severed at the neck, his arms, feet, and head disconnected from his torso.

Boom! Warcane's head landed on the ground, his expression frozen in a mix of confusion and horror.

"What a monumental gain!" Dave exclaimed, delighted to have unlocked one of the forms of the Sword Heart technique. The attack had made him as flexible as water, executing swift and decisive strikes without making a sound. Dave had slain Warcane, preventing him from regenerating by slashing all five of his hearts with ease. Now that they were separated from their domain, Warcane was permanently dead.

"What?" Horror washed over Renjel's face, realizing that his comrade had perished in such a manner.

"What technique is that?" Fear gripped him as he contemplated his own fate, realizing it would likely be no different from Warcane's.

Dave had the option to utilize his Law of Lightning, which was the bane of demons, against Renjel. However, he saw this as an opportunity to train himself and grow stronger without relying solely on his law. Having already gained a significant comprehension, it was time for him to get serious.

"Hehe, are you afraid?" Dave taunted. "Unfortunately, it's too late."

Once again, Dave wielded his sword and chanted, "Purple Lightning Sword Technique!"

Purple thunders enveloped his blade as he swiftly struck at Renjel.

"What?" Renjel stood stunned, not expecting Dave to possess such a fierce attack—one that exploited their weakness, lightning.

Boom!

Outside the arena, chaos ensued as Yudi mercilessly beat down the emperor, who lacked the strength to fight back. The emperor's back was against the wall, weakened by the backlash he had suffered. Yudi's force locked down the arena, leaving no escape for anyone.

"Fuck you! If anything happens to my master, I'll kill all of you!" Yudi roared with anger, longing to strike the emperor. But suddenly, the screen flickered, and the emperor gained access to his domain.

"Wait!" the emperor shouted, his face disheveled from Yudi's relentless assault. He hadn't anticipated Yudi's overwhelming strength, even in his prime, he was inferior.

Yudi halted, turning his attention to the screen, where he saw Dave standing firmly on the ground, holding Renjel, who lay unconscious. The terror in Renjel's expression was visible to everyone.

Renjel was no longer among the living, sending a chilling sensation through the crowd.

Yudi breathed a sigh of relief, while the emperor was shocked, realizing that one of his sons had met his demise.

He seethed with anger but restrained himself upon seeing Yudi's unwavering gaze. Before taking any further action, the emperor decided to inquire about what had transpired from Dave himself.
