What seemed to be a prolonged transformation occurred in the blink of an eye. His already perfected Blade Intent, under immense pressure, finally achieved a breakthrough in a way akin to a river channel forming!
Massive Martial Arts Intents surged into Su Changkong’s seemingly undefended Sea of Consciousness, but as they approached, an invisible fluctuation spread like an abyssal tide, sweeping across all directions!
"Hiss, hiss, hiss!"
Martial Arts Intents that came into contact with this fluctuation melted away as swiftly as ice and snow meeting raging flames.
No matter whether it was Martial Arts Intent in its initial formation or in its Great Achievement, under the sharp and invisible, enigmatic and unpredictable fluctuation, they dissolved into nothingness!
"Hum, hum, hum!"
The rest of the Martial Arts Intents, as if frightened, hastily retreated, scattering like birds and beasts, withdrawing back into the Crystal Stones.
The originally tumultuous and chaotic Ten Thousand Soul Warrior Tomb quieted down in an instant, eerily silent to the point where one could hear a pin drop.
"I’ve broken through." n𝚘𝚟pub.𝚌o𝚖
Su Changkong sat there quietly, a sincere smile on his face. In just over three months within the Ten Thousand Soul Warrior Tomb, his Blade Technique had ascended to a whole new level, stepping into an entirely new realm!
Iron Cutting Blade Technique (11th realm Shaking Ancestral Brilliance 1%)
The Iron Cutting Blade Technique had reached the 11th realm. Besides his Blade Technique becoming increasingly flawless, the biggest change was the integration of his Blade Intent into his soul, elevating and transforming his soul, and creating a Blade Soul!
Upon introspection, Su Changkong saw his soul origin taking the shape of a sword.
With a mere thought, his Blade Soul, once activated, could stir up a sky full of Blade Qi, tearing flesh, severing souls, penetrating from the Sea of Consciousness straight to the soul—terrifyingly powerful!
This was the Blade Soul!
When Martial Arts Intent reaches its pinnacle, and if one further progresses, they can touch upon the soul origin deep within the Sea of Consciousness from a spiritual level, inducing a metamorphosis in the soul origin, impervious to external influences!
Su Changkong’s Blade Technique could be described as transcendental, comparable to Divine Skills!
"My Blade Soul’s strength can exterminate any Martial Arts Intent in an instant, even those that have reached Great Achievement and completeness, are frail and brittle, not on the same level.
Even against someone like Tan You, who has merged with a superior Demon Monster Crystal Core and is himself a Five-Qi Grandmaster Monster Warrior, I can tear apart his Sea of Consciousness and extinguish his soul with one strike!"
A wave of confidence surged within Su Changkong.
Su Changkong’s pseudo Divine Skills were undoubtedly strong, but with a different emphasis. Against the likes of Tan You, he could overpower them, but it would be difficult to damage their Sea of Consciousness and soul. He could only gradually wear them down by continuously inflicting damage to exhaust their demonic power and ultimately kill them.
But possessing a Blade Soul, he could easily annihilate their Martial Arts Will, directly striking at their Sea of Consciousness and soul!
Those Elders of the Life Extinguishing Association who had merged with superior Demon Monster Crystal Cores were no different from ordinary Martial Artists in the face of him; their Immortal Bodies would prove ineffective!
"A chance to enter the Ten Thousand Soul Warrior Tomb, exchanged for a random find of Demon Monster King blood, was well worth it!"
Su Changkong was extremely content with his breakthrough this time.
Integrating Blade Intent into the soul origin, reshaping the soul, and forging a Blade Soul! This Blade Technique was on par with pseudo Divine Skills!
"Let’s go out."
Su Changkong stood up, no longer staying in the Ten Thousand Soul Warrior Tomb. These Martial Arts Wills posed no threat to Su Changkong at this time and didn’t dare to assault him again. This place was of no use to him any longer.
"One hundred days... How is Dao Wufeng doing right now?"
Outside the Ten Thousand Soul Warrior Tomb, an elder with white hair awaited anxiously. With his composure, he had not felt such an anxious wait in a long time. He was eager to know the result.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
At that moment, the massive stone doors of the Ten Thousand Soul Warrior Tomb, which had been tightly shut, were pushed open from the inside, making a thunderous sound.
"He’s come out?" The white-haired elder stood up, seeing Su Changkong stepping out from the opened stone door.
"I... can’t sense any Blade Intent in his Sea of Consciousness at all! Could it be... that he really stepped into the Soul Realm?"
The white-haired elder looked at Su Changkong, swallowing hard with a look of disbelief in his eyes.
The white-haired elder, with his own Martial Arts Intent cultivated to its peak, could faintly sense the Blade Intent in Su Changkong’s Sea of Consciousness.
But now... the white-haired elder could not feel anything, as if the other’s Blade Intent had vanished from the Sea of Consciousness, indescribable except as unfathomable and inscrutable!
The cultivation of skills, when reaching the pinnacle, can all lead to an understanding of Martial Arts Intent, reaching the level of a Five-Qi Grandmaster. To advance further would be the level of the Soul Realm! Spirit and will reshaping the soul!
Anyone who can practice Martial Arts Skills to this extent can be called a Martial Arts Grandmaster, far more powerful than what ordinary people can imagine!
"Three months... In just three months, from the initial formation of Blade Intent to the elevation and transformation, to forging a Blade Soul?"
The white-haired elder’s scalp tingled, his gaze towards Su Changkong was as if looking at a monster.
To reach the level of forging a Blade Soul was an immense achievement, and to do so within three months with the aid of Blade Intent, even with the help of the Ten Thousand Soul Warrior Tomb, was but squeezing out potential, which required innate talent to begin with.
Likewise, for Duanmu Tao and even the white-haired elder hims, who had entered the Ten Thousand Soul Warrior Tomb multiple times, it proved difficult to take that step, seemingly an insurmountable gap!
"Dao Wufeng...may very well be a ’Son of God,’ a reincarnation of a Martial Saint!"
The white-haired elder thought to himself.
Some Martial Saints leave behind descendants, and one day among those with Martial Saint bloodline, someone will experience Bloodline Regression, not only bearing an appearance almost identical to the Martial Saint ancestor but also possessing talents no less remarkable than those of the forebear.
