Chapter 38 – Limit Break
The battlefield fell silent.
The moment the Demon Lord's aura spread, both human and demon cultivators froze in terror. His power pressed down like an endless mountain, suffocating every breath. Even the Tribulation Realm experts trembled; before the Mahalaya Realm, they were nothing more than ants.
Shin stood still, his Abyssal Void Sword humming violently in his hand as if warning him of the danger. His face was calm, but inside his blood boiled like fire.
The Demon Lord's gaze was locked on him.
"You… child. If I allow you to live, you will overturn this world. That is something I cannot permit."
With a single step, the Demon Lord appeared before Shin, his hand raised. A claw of black demonic energy, sharp enough to tear the heavens, came crashing down toward him.
⚡ BOOM!
The ground shattered, the sky split open.
Shin roared, his aura surging. His sword slashed upward, colliding with the demonic claw. The impact sent shockwaves across the battlefield, throwing cultivators from both sides hundreds of meters away.
Blood trickled from Shin's mouth. The gap in realms was too great. He knew it. Everyone knew it.
But the system's cold mechanical voice rang in his mind.
Ding!
⚡ Host is under extreme life threat. Activating Limit Break Mode.
⚡ Host's cultivation speed will increase by 5000%.
⚡ All restrictions removed.
Shin's eyes widened. His veins glowed with golden light, his body erupting with endless energy. His aura skyrocketed, surging wildly without restraint.
Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Golden Core, Nascent Soul… each realm shattered in an instant, collapsing before his monstrous breakthrough. His body roared like a dragon as his cultivation shot upward, defying heaven itself.
"LIMIT… BREAK!" Shin bellowed, his voice shaking the battlefield.
The Abyssal Void Sword screamed with joy, absorbing the endless bloodlust and demonic qi around it. Its blade turned pitch black, glowing with abyssal runes.
Ding!
⚡ Abyssal Void Sword has absorbed sufficient energy.
⚡ Upgraded → Soul Weapon Level 2.
⚡ Unlocked new ability: [Abyssal Devour] – Can consume enemies' life force and cultivation to strengthen both sword and wielder.
⚡ Unlocked new ability: [Abyssal Void Slash] – A sword strike infused with abyssal void energy capable of erasing everything in its path. Once released, even the heavens tremble.
The Demon Lord's attack pressed down again, but this time Shin raised his sword with unyielding defiance.
Dark energy gathered along the blade, condensing into a slash so sharp that space itself twisted. The void screamed as Shin swung down.
"Abyssal Void Slash!"
⚡ KRAAAAAAACK!
The slash split the battlefield into two, carving a bottomless ravine hundreds of miles long. Countless demons were reduced to ash in its wake, their bodies erased from existence.
The Demon Lord's eyes widened. "What… power is this?!"
Shin's chest heaved, but his grin only grew wilder. His killing intent spread like a storm.
"I am Luo Shin. The Absolute Anomaly. And today—your fate ends here!"
