<h2 ss="wp-block-heading">Chapter 5287</h2>


    Sometimes, his sword thrusts were simple, yet they contained a thousand twists and turns, capable of piercing the skulls of several skeletons simultaneously. Sometimes, his sword thrusts were suddenly powerful, like splitting mountains and severing peaks, shattering entire skeletons into dust.


    Tempered by ughter and murderous energy, his sword intent grew ever more concentrated and domineering, even showing signs of breaking through the sword intent barrier.


    Outside the barrier, Mo Chen and the others watched in astonishment.


    “He… he’s absorbing evil energy for cultivation?”


    Ling Xue covered her mouth in shock. “How is that possible? Evil energy is so sinister and pernicious that even the slightest carelessness could lead to insanity!” A sh of


    enlightenment shed in Mo Chen’s eyes, and he muttered, “Yes, his sword intent inherently carries the might of a dragon, its masculine masculinity perfectly suited to suppressing the evil of evil energy.


    Furthermore, he’sprehending the ‘Sword Saint Heart Sutra.’ Perhaps the evil energy of this sword tomb is the catalyst for a breakthrough!”


    At that moment, the earth shook even more violently, and a massive skeleton, three meters tall, rose from the deepest crevice.


    d in tattered armor and wielding a rusty, immense sword, the evil energy surrounding it condensed into substance, clearly the form of a cultivator of exceptional aplishment.


    It roared, and with immense force, the mighty sword shed down at David!


    David looked up, a cold glint in his eyes.


    He took a deep breath, and the refined evil spirit within him mergedpletely with his spiritual power. The golden light of the Dragon ying Sword was tinged with a faint ck pattern.


    “I will let you be the stepping stone for my breakthrough!”


    David leaped up, and sword and body merged into one, transforming into a stream of golden and ck light. He charged towards the giant skeleton’s sword!


    “BOOM!”


    The golden and ck light collided with the giant skeleton’s rusted sword, and a deafening roar echoed within the sword barrier. The golden light of the Dragon


    ying Sword and the ck energy of the rusted sword shed fiercely, sending sparks flying all over the sky.


    David felt a surge of force radiating from the sword, and his arm instantly went numb. If it weren’t for the surge of power from the fusion of evil spirit and spiritual power within him, the sword would have been knocked away.


    “Such a powerful force!” David was secretly shocked. Though


    merely a skeleton, the giant skeleton bore the marks of its former martial arts. Its every gesture carried the imposing aura of a peak Earthly Immortal.


    It roared, pressing its rusted sword downward. The ck energy from the de coiled around like a venomous snake, attempting to erode the golden glow of the Dragon ying Sword.


    David’s eyes red, and he crushed a skeleton’s skull with his foot. Using the momentum, he twisted his body, avoiding the weight of the rusted sword.


    With a sharp twist of his wrist, the Dragon ying Sword pierced the gap between the giant skeleton’s ribs in a sharp arc—the spot where the flow of evil energy was most vulnerable.


    “Swish!”


    The golden light pierced the skeleton, releasing a wisp of thick ck energy.


    The giant skeleton roared in pain, swung its rusted sword across. David tapped the ground with his toes, and his body drifted back like a willow catkin, avoiding the powerful blow.


    The rusted sword struck air, creating a trench several feet long in the ground, sending rubble flying.


    “We can’t fight head-on!” David instantly assessed the situation.


    This massive skeleton’s strength far surpassed that of an ordinary skeleton, and its body was thick with evil energy, like armor, rendering ordinary attacks ineffective.


    However, he also noticed that the skeleton’s movements were rtively slow, and each sword swing drew on the evil energy within it, causing the dim green will-o’-the-wisp fire in its eye sockets to flicker—a w in its power flow!


    With a quick thought, David abandoned the giant skeleton’s direct confrontation.


    His figure shed like a ghost moving through the sword tomb, dodging the rusted sword’s pursuit while wielding his sword to clear out the ordinary skeletons around him.


    The golden light of the Dragon ying Sword flickered continuously, and each strike sent a cloud of bone shards flying. As if finding a home, the scattered evil energy surged into David’s body.


    “Buzz…”


    As the evil energy continued to refine, David’s aura grew stronger.


    The barrier of the eighth level of the Scattered Immortal Realm was like a dam battered by a tidal wave, and more and more cracks appeared.
