Grinding EXP From a Demon Hunting Ship

Chapter 513: Chapter 463: Drawing the Dao Source, Soaring Comprehension

Su Ye didn’t have high expectations for his teammates’ abilities.

However.

The true disciples of the Nine Sects of the Inner Sea held prestigious positions.

Therefore, they were certain to possess life-saving measures bestowed upon them by their sect’s Nascent Soul elders!

Once activated, such a measure was bound to inflict decisive damage on the Undead Lord!

’It’s just... when facing one of the Fallen Deities, even a Nascent Soul-level technique might not be enough...’

’It might have ended in mutual destruction.’

’I wonder which unlucky soul it was... I hope it wasn’t anyone I know...’

Stray thoughts flickered through Su Ye’s mind.

But he stamped them out almost instantly.

No matter who it was, the Nascent Soul-level technique they carried had created the perfect opportunity for him!

An opportunity to kill the Undead Lord!

WHOOSH!

The shadows flickered, and Su Ye’s figure emerged!

Before him stood the Undead Lord. The distance between them was no more than ten feet!

"Hm?!"

Heavily wounded and now suddenly rushed, a glimmer of clarity finally returned to the Undead Lord’s murky eyes.

It was just that, at this moment, the distance between them was simply too short.

Even a mortal with no cultivation could cross ten feet with ease. For a high-level being, such a distance was practically nonexistent!

SWISH!

The Undead Lord had no time to react.

In a flash, Su Ye closed the distance and appeared right before the Undead Lord.

He shot his hand out and, quick as a flash, unhesitatingly gripped the hilt of the pitch-black broken sword embedded in the Undead Lord’s chest!

"Hm?"

For a moment, the Undead Lord froze.

An expression—something vivid—struggled to form on his withered, almost ghoulish face.

Confusion, astonishment, and disbelief.

Then.

That confusion twisted into a crazed laugh.

It was the look of someone who had just seen a foolish fish swim right into their net.

"Hahaha, you fool... You couldn’t possibly think this broken sword is my weakness, could you?"

It was true that the power of the laws he commanded originated from the pitch-black broken sword.

However, this power was by no means a generous gift.

On the contrary, it was the most profound of curses...

"Heh..."

The Undead Lord sneered, his eyes fixed on Su Ye.

He remained perfectly still.

He didn’t even bother to attack.

As both the sealer of the pitch-black broken sword and its prisoner.

He knew all too well just how terrifying the broken sword was.

Even in his prime as a deity, with the addition of a seal laid by the God-Lord, he had still been completely corrupted over the long eons, reduced to this pathetic state.

This Sea-spawn was merely at the fourth tier.

In ten breaths at most, he would be completely under the sword’s control.

’This isn’t so bad.’

’Saves me the trouble of having to refine him into the seal myself.’

The Undead Lord watched with cold detachment.

As he mused.

The frigid energy in the plaza began to churn and swirl violently.

It surged toward Su Ye like a cyclone. The sinister chill emanating from the pitch-black broken sword flared, coalescing into solid ice.

The ice crept up Su Ye’s hand.

A bloodthirsty light glinted in the Undead Lord’s eyes. He could already picture this arrogant Sea-spawn being corrupted by the sword, turning into a ghoul.

"I wonder, will a ghoul transformed from a Sea-spawn have any... special traits?" a hoarse, grating voice rasped by Su Ye’s ear, mocking him mercilessly.

But.

At that very moment, a cunning smile touched Su Ye’s lips.

Before his eyes, lines of text were appearing on a pale blue panel.

[Unclaimed Dao Source detected.]

[Eligible for absorption.]

[Yes/No]

The panel had reacted the very moment Su Ye entered the plaza and sensed the broken sword.

This reaction had intrigued Su Ye, and as he fought the Undead Lord, the panel’s feedback had grown more and more detailed.

Until it finally presented him with a choice.

However, every time Su Ye had tried to select ’Yes’ before now.

The panel in his mind would mercilessly reply with two words: ’Insufficient distance.’

But now.

Su Ye was grasping the hilt!

The distance was sufficient!

’Yes.’

Su Ye confirmed it in his mind.

VMMMM!

The panel lit up!

An inexplicable tremor rippled through the void!

Su Ye’s eyes widened. He saw... light!

Light bloomed from within him. Countless specks of incandescent white light, like fireflies, rose from his body, flowing through his meridians and bloodstream toward the right hand that gripped the sword.

CRACK.

The incandescent light passed over the ice, and it shattered.

With unstoppable force, it dispelled the frigid aura and poured into the pitch-black broken sword!

"You! You damned Sea-spawn bastard, what in the hell have you done?!"

At the same time, the Undead Lord’s sneer of assured victory vanished, replaced by sheer astonishment. He let out a piercing shriek, boiling with rage!

CHHH!

He immediately raised his ancient bronze halberd and swung it at Su Ye, the weapon whistling through the air.

A mocking glint flashed in Su Ye’s eyes. He didn’t dodge or flinch. While maintaining his grip on the broken sword, he raised his left hand and caught the bronze halberd, his well-defined fingers clamping down firmly!

"What?" The Undead Lord froze.

’My bronze halberd is a Divine Artifact!’

The Divine Artifact was genuine, of course, and Su Ye’s physical cultivation was nowhere near the level where he could simply ignore it.

In fact, there were probably few fifth-tier Body Cultivators who would dare to face a Dao Artifact’s attack head-on with their bare hands.

But the only reason a fifth-tier Body Cultivator wouldn’t dare test its edge was if the Dao Artifact were wielded by a fifth-tier being.

But now...

"Do you really think you’re still a deity?"
