Swords
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
As Lu Yuan continued to pull the sword, the resistance he encountered grew stronger.
This heaviness made Lu Yuan realize that he had to use all his strength to extract the legendary immortal sword.
Even though he had only managed to extract one-third of the sword’s blade, Lu Yuan could already feel the intensifying sword intent around him.
These sword intents were completely different from the ones he had absorbed before. They had a unique and timeless aura.
Lu Yuan could sense the passage of time within these sword intents.
What astonished him even more was that the sword intents, which had been refined over time, hadn’t weakened over the years.
Instead, they seemed to have been finely polished, becoming even more sturdy and sharp.
Invisible sword intent radiated from the Formless Myriad Swords. Under the influence of this sword intent, countless smooth sword marks appeared on the ground of the mountain peak.
These sword intents were extremely perilous, each one as powerful as a full-strength attack from a cultivator at the Apotheosis Stage.
However, even such dangerous sword intents couldn’t pose any threat to Lu Yuan.
The Transcendent Dharma Idol behind him not only disregarded the violent ancient sword intent around him but also absorbed it into the Immortal Slaying Sword by his side.
The Immortal Slaying Sword, which had already transcended from illusory to real, seemed to have become even more tangible.
As Lu Yuan’s progress in extracting the Formless Myriad Swords increased, the surrounding sword intents also grew more turbulent.
Accompanied by the power of the sword intents, their strength also intensified. Gradually, relying solely on one Immortal Slaying Sword was no longer enough to contain the sword intents of the Formless Myriad Swords.
He had to summon more immortal swords Dharma Idols to counter the growing ancient sword intents.
At this point, Lu Yuan also noticed the presence of the Mountain Sea Immortal, Xiang Yang, not far away.
However, he didn’t have any spare attention to spare for him at the moment.
Because Lu Yuan could sense the pressure emanating from the Formless Myriad Swords.
To onlookers, it might seem that he was only facing the residual sword intents left on the Formless Myriad Swords.
But in reality, the challenges he faced were much greater.
The reason the Formless Myriad Swords were called “Formless” was because this sword possessed a unique quality of being intangible and formless.
They didn’t just affect the real realm, but also the cultivator’s divine soul and even their Dao.
This was due to the high level of the way of the sword mastery embodied within the Formless Myriad Swords.
It was so powerful that ordinary cultivators’ way of the sword was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot when they encountered it. They could easily be crushed.
in fact, to some extent, the four sword intents Lu Yuan had mastered were analogous to the Formless Sword Intents of the Myriad Formless Swords.
Lu Yuan’s ability to easily learn the thirty-six Big Dipper sword intents and the 72 Disha sword intents. On one hand, it was because they were very compatible with Lu Yuan’s own Celestial Eradication Sword Array.
Additionally, when these sword intents encountered the Immortal Slaying Sword Intents that Lu Yuan had already grasped, they behaved as if they were facing a king, not daring to act recklessly.
This was the fundamental reason why he could learn the complete thirty-six
Big Dipper sword intents.
However, this approach encountered difficulties when confronting the
Formless Sword Intents.
Because the Formless Sword Intents themselves were no weaker than any of the sword essences Lu Yuan had mastered.
But facing trouble didn’t mean that Lu Yuan couldn’t overcome the Formless Myriad Swords.
In the end, it was merely an ownerless weapon.
No matter how sharp the sword intent of the Formless Myriad Swords was, it was still a battle fought alone.
But he had countless trump cards to rely on!
Boom!
As Lu Yuan continued to pull out the Formless Myriad Swords, Myriad Sword Mountain underwent a complete transformation.
The lower part of the mountain split open with a smooth surface as if it had been cleaved by a sword.
The vortex in the sky grew even darker as if a black continent was pressing down on Lu Yuan’s head.
Behind Lu Yuan, he had already summoned all the Dharma Idols of the immortal swords.
The Immortal Slaying Sword, the Immortal Piercing Sword, the Immortal Trapping Sword, and the Immortal Vanquishing Sword.
The appearance of the four Dharma Idols formed a certain kind of sword array.
The terrifying sword intent contained within the sword array even shocked the Formless Myriad Swords, causing their blades to tremble continuously.
This trembling wasn’t out of fear, but excitement.
Even Xiang Yang, who was watching from the sidelines, could perceive the movement of the Formless Myriad Swords.
Looking at Lu Yuan, his eyes were filled with envy.
This was because he realized that although Lu Yuan’s Sword Dao might not be considered powerful at the moment, it had a sense of pointing directly toward the Great Dao.
Even someone as powerful as Xiang Yang, who had crossed the tribulation, seemed to have gained something from observing Lu Yuan.
It was as if he had discovered another path.
It was hard to imagine that a mere Apotheosis Stage cultivator could achieve such mastery in the way of the sword.
Given enough time, he could even surpass the Ethereal Stage above the Apotheosis Stage, let alone the Tribulation Crossing Stage. Xiang Yang believed that Lu Yuan wouldn’t encounter any issues even at the Tribulation Crossing Stage.
Xiang Yang even believed that with Lu Yuan’s aptitude for pulling out the Formless Myriad Swords, he wouldn’t have any problem becoming the first immortal in the post-immortal era.
As this idea arose, Xiang Yang’s gaze towards Lu Yuan became even more fervent.
Everyone said that Xiang Yang was a reincarnated immortal and that becoming an immortal in the future was a foregone conclusion.
However, only Xiang Yang himself knew that even in his previous life, he couldn’t be considered a true immortal.
Having been reborn, he had the experience of his past life to support him. However, it was also because of his past life experience that his future was greatly limited.
Forget about breaking through his past life’s cultivation, it was unknown whether he could even reach his past life’s level of cultivation.
However, Xiang Yang saw an unprecedented anticipation of Lu Yuan.
If it were him…perhaps he could truly take the step that he couldn’t in his previous life.
Just as Xiang Yang was feeling emotional, Lu Yuan was already about to pull out the complete Formless Myriad Swords.
Boom!
With a loud sound, the gray Myriad Swords Mountain completely shattered.
A massive black sword appeared in the hand of Lu Yuan’s Transcendent Dharma Idol.
The hilt of the sword was pitch-black, and the blade seemed to be completely forged from some unknown rock.
It was a bona fide stone sword.
On the blade of the stone sword, there were numerous patterns of ancient ferocious beasts.
These ferocious beasts were vividly lifelike as if they weren’t just drawn on but existed.
As Lu Yuan looked at the fully drawn Formless Myriad Swords, his gaze became profound.
This was because a special scene had already begun to appear in his mind.
This scene was the process of forging the Formless Myriad Swords back then. As it turned out, the original purpose of the Formless Myriad Swords wasn’t for killing enemies, but for suppression.
This sword itself was a cage that could imprison ancient ferocious beasts and immortals!
In order to completely grasp the Formless Myriad Swords, in addition to obtaining the recognition of the Formless Myriad Swords, he also had to suppress the ancient vicious beasts sealed within the Formless Myriad Swords. This….wasn’t an easy task!
