Sword God in a World of Magic

Shang slashed upward.

CRACK!

Sword easily cut through the thick armor of the centipede.

Obviously, Shang wouldn't attempt to kill a True Path Stage beast with a Commander Stage weapon.

In the last ten years, Shang had also gotten the Darkness Ore from Jerald, and Shang had openly bought the Fire and Ice Ore himself. He had basically gone public with a Temperature Affinity, making his purchases reasonable.

After that, Jerald had given Shang the ore he needed to upgrade Sword to the Early True Path Stage.

However, Shang's funds had essentially dried up.

These kinds of materials couldn't be bought with gold, but Jerald sold them for gold anyway.

Shang had paid over a billion gold for all the ore, which was an unreasonable amount for a Commander Stage warrior.

Decades of Shang gathering Foci, materials, and gold had vanished in just an instant.

However, it allowed him to upgrade Sword, and he wasn't worried about the future.

With such a weapon, he could now hunt True Path Stage beasts, which he could trade for even more ore.

As Shang's sword cut into the armor, it suddenly shone brightly.

It was the ranged attack Shang had introduced to the world, but it was slightly different this time.

There was no Element in the slash. Additionally, the power of the slash didn't exactly leave the domain of his sword.

How had the warriors of the past managed to fell such gigantic beasts with their comparatively tiny weapons?

This was the answer.

As long as there was living matter, the ranged attack could be used as an extension for the actual slash.

It was like Shang's sword had transformed to be over 20 meters long, but only while being inside an enemy's body.

Sadly, the actual power or weight of the strike didn't change. It simply extended the attack's reach.

After cutting through half the body, Shang felt his sword slow down. The centipede's body was thick and massive, making it very difficult for him to cut through the entire thing.

BANG!

A Fire Blast came out of Shang's left leg, shooting it upward.

BANG!

With a powerful kick, his left leg hit the back of his colossal sword, pushing it forward.

CRRRRK!

The sword continued going.

BANG! BANG!

Shang kept hold of his sword and released two more blasts, shooting himself past the centipede.
