From Sword to Slaughter: Evolution

Lin Luoluo sensed the unusual behavior of the Soul Severing Sword, and her expression shifted.

Boom—

A deafening thunderclap erupted from the sky. Dark clouds rapidly gathered overhead, and powerful winds began to roar across the land. The gusts were so fierce that even the trees around her swayed violently, with some being completely uprooted.

"What's happening...?" Lin Luoluo murmured in surprise.

The ground beneath her feet began to tremble violently.

"Could it be... the Soul Severing Sword...?"

In that instant, a terrifying bolt of lightning crashed down from the sky!

Sensing the incoming danger, Lin Luoluo instinctively tried to dodge, but the lightning seemed to home in on the sword itself, striking directly at the Soul Severing Sword in her hand.

Her eyes widened. The lightning wasn't aiming for her—it was targeting the sword. However, because she was holding it, the fierce current of electricity surged into her body.

The power was overwhelming. Lin Luoluo could feel her skin blackening from the electric shock.

She quickly planted the sword into the ground and leapt back. Just as she landed a safe distance away, another colossal bolt of lightning struck the sword.

Boom—

The immense force of the lightning strike blackened the earth around the Soul Severing Sword.

"That lightning... it's incredibly powerful," Lin Luoluo muttered to herself, watching the scene unfold from a safe distance.

Boom, boom, boom—

The relentless barrage of lightning continued to strike the sword, as though the heavens themselves were reshaping the weapon. Under this bombardment, the blade of the Soul Severing Sword began to change. It was as if the sword was shedding its old form and being reborn.

With each lightning strike, the sword's transformation became more apparent.

Eighty-one bolts of lightning hammered the sword, one after another.

Boom—

After the final strike, the Soul Severing Sword emitted a dazzling golden light. The light shot up into the sky, accompanied by a whirlwind of intense force.

Lin Luoluo instinctively shielded her face, bracing herself against the powerful winds.

"It's evolving... The Soul Severing Sword is evolving," Lin Luoluo whispered in awe.

As the golden light gradually faded, a new blade emerged where the Soul Severing Sword once stood. Its presence exuded an overwhelming aura of destruction.

No, this was no longer the Soul Severing Sword.

"Finally... I've evolved," Ye Fan said, his excitement palpable.

The name of the sword had changed to Extinction, and with it, several new abilities had appeared, including Extinction Strike and True Sight. Additionally, a passive skill called Source Severing had been added, making the sword even deadlier than before.

The durability and sharpness of the blade had also improved drastically, and the malevolent aura it emitted was even more intense than before.

"The Light Attribute form remains mostly unchanged," Ye Fan noted. The Extinction Strike had transformed into Healing Light in the Light form.

[Healing Light]: Heals all life forms within a mile radius, restoring them to full health (effective only on beings weaker than the user).

"All in all, this is a massive improvement."

But despite his excitement, Ye Fan couldn't help but feel a little disappointed that his evolution points had reset to zero. To reach SSS-rank, he would now need a staggering one billion points. The amount seemed impossibly vast.

At that moment, Lin Luoluo stepped forward, approaching the newly evolved sword. Her eyes fixed on its blade, noticing the subtle yet significant changes. Even standing near it, she could feel the terrifying sharpness and power radiating from the sword.

The faint, intricate pattern of the Other Shore Flowers was still etched on the blade. Though its appearance hadn't drastically changed, the sword's internal power had undergone a complete transformation.

Lin Luoluo grasped the hilt. The moment she did, an overwhelming surge of power coursed through her body.

Such immense power!

Thump, thump—

Her heartbeat quickened, and the surge of energy made her feel as if she had ascended to a higher level of strength.

"A Martial King," Lin Luoluo muttered, realizing that simply by wielding the sword, her power had temporarily reached the level of a Martial King!
