Sword God in a World of Magic

For a while, Shang just kept experimenting with Death Mana, but at some point, he just kept lying on the ground as a half-dead husk.

Lucin became a bit concerned, but he could feel that Shang was still alive.

For several years, Shang just lay on the ground, half-dead.

Lucin felt more and more awkward and strange.

Eventually, he asked Shang if everything was okay, and Shang just answered that everything was fine.

Yet, Shang just kept lying there, doing nothing.

Naturally, Shang wasn't actually doing nothing.

In truth, Shang was fighting against beasts and Mages inside his inner world, and he kept his real body half-dead so that he could experiment with more Death Mana inside his inner world.

His real body had essentially transformed into a Death Mana generator.

Shang usually only needed a few years to create new techniques, but the potential and complexity of Death Mana made it quite difficult to create good techniques.

However, that just meant that Shang needed to spend more time.

After 30 years, Shang had completely solidified his new fighting style with his new techniques.

For the last 300 years, Shang had been busy comprehending Void Break, which meant that he hadn't truly had any time to refine his fighting style.

But now, with nearly 4,000 years of longevity left, Shang finally had enough time.

When Shang was around 1,050 years old, his real body recovered, and he stood up.

There was something he had to do.

In fact, there were two reasons why he wanted to do this something.

First, now that Shang was in a new Realm, he needed to advance again, and in order to advance properly within that Realm, he needed Abominations.
