Divine Brilliance - Chapter 658
Chapter 658: Spiritual Sword ability
The Taoist in the green shirt slashed out first, his more than 10 swords made it such that Zong Shou couldn’t move and could only block.
However, at this moment anyone who was smart could see that he was the one who took the loss instead of Zong Shou.
The sword in his hand was slowly decomposing.
Death Energy didn’t only target living beings but all kinds of things.
Zong Shou looked impassively at Wuji and him, thinking that these two people couldn’t take it and finally appeared.
The sword intent suppression was like a wave, spreading 1,000 miles.
“Long time, no see Cultivator Wuji! Was the show nice to watch?”
The killing intent was like a blade, spreading out coldly and wrapping around Wuji’s neck.
The Nameless Sword in his hand buzzed like it was resonating with its master.
The Taoist in the green shirt seemed to be furious. However, he knew that he wasn’t Zong Shou’s opponent. Making any moves now would only give rise to indiscernible outcomes. As such he could only bear with it.
In terms of cultivation he was naturally much stronger. But in the sword, Zong Shou was much stronger than him.
The King Path Martial Arts also terrified him.
If he went all out, Zong Shou would most probably be able to kill him.
Wuji’s expression was one of slight awkwardness, “Wuji greets Ruler!”
Bowing from afar, Wuji said with disbelief, “Just a little over 10 days and Ruler’s cultivation has improved. In just a year you would probably be able to reach Spirit Realm. Wuji will congratulate you in advance…”
He recalled Zong Shou nearly dying from the assassination of a Spirit Realm expert in the underground lake.
However, at this moment he was handling it easily.
Zong Shou’s lips curled and then he gave out an evil smile, “Are you threatening me?”
Everyone in the Cloud World probably knew about his Barriers from Heaven.
Who knows how many people were waiting for the day he broke through.
Speaking of which, the Sky Demon Vast Habitat envoy said the same thing that day.
“How would I dare?”
Wuji’s heart jumped, at this moment he felt a little bitter.
If he was soft now he would lose face for Daoling Vast Habitat and he would be scolded.
But if he was too firm he would anger this Monster King.
To be able to boldly attack Handou, not bothering with Daoling Vast Habitat, he might even kill them on the spot. If he didn’t bear with the little things it would spoil the big plan…
Wuji took in a deep breath before he said, “How did my fellow cultivators offend Ruler? Was there a need to attack?”
“I found them annoying!”
One sentence caused the few of them to be startled. Zong Shou smiled, of course, it was just a joke.
“An enemy is ahead. I am not willing to be surrounded by enemies. Since I can’t use the three sects of Huizhou, then I will wash them with blood!”
Xuantong, Lingming and Luotian Sects were deeply rooted in Huizhou. They had many disciples and families here.
If they had other thoughts when they were at war, they would probably backstab him.
He needed to make use of all the strength of Huizhou to deal with the Night Demons which meant that those three sects were the biggest obstacle.
Since he couldn’t use them, then he could only wipe them out.
“So that is the case! Although our Dongling Sect is not willing to face the Night Demon alone, we aren’t willing to be enemies with Gantian Mountain.”
They didn’t plan on being enemies with this crazy kid before them and the Night Demon Race suffered heavy casualties.
One sentence showed the attitude of Daoling Vast Habitat. Wuji smiled, “How about this? The three sects will retreat out of Huizhou in seven days. Will Ruler be at ease like that?”
Seeing Zong Shou close his eyes slightly and not make a statement, Wuji knew that he wasn’t satisfied. He said, “For 10 years, My Daoling Vast Habitat and the three sects will not interfere in Huizhou! Wuji will ask the head of my Vast Habitat to send over a letter within three days!”
Only then did Zong Shou smile, he was waiting for those words.
With this promise he would be able to focus on fighting the Night Demons.
He looked at Handou who was only left with his soul. Zong Shou smiled and sucked out the Death Energy from him. He waved his sleeves to signal that the few of them could scram already.
At this moment, the situation on Lianyun Main Island had pretty much settled down.
The few large-sized arrow platforms were destroyed. The Blood Cloud Cavalry had already charged in. Lingxuan led 20 Towns to board the island. They focused their strength to force the enemy troops to surrender.
The soldiers from the Huizhou Cities were okay, all used to changing flags. Their few City Lords had already died and they had no heart to resist. Apart from those loyal elites who were fighting back, the others just placed down their weapons.
The 600,000 Great Shang infantry under Weihai were slightly problematic. It would take some effort to force them to surrender.
Luckily their victory was already decided and Zong Shou didn’t need to care much.
He looked around impassively before he scattered the Death Energy which wrapped around him.
Two million Yin Souls were still left. However, they didn’t leave far, wrapping around the sky above the main island.
A screaming sound broke out from behind him, like a door that was closing.
Zong Shou looked above in a distracted manner, sighing before he retracted his eyes.
It seemed like he had to invite a few more Buddhist Monks to do a ritual here to send these Yin Souls to the afterlife.
He sighed in his heart. This was the only thing he could do for these dead people.
Only then did he have the mood to check his own body. He probably used some of his lifespan to display the Styx River Death Sword.
There was also the green liquid that entered his Soul Ocean as well as the Green Flame burning within his soul which he was really curious about.
Looking in for a moment, he was startled. His consumption of lifeforce was surprisingly small.
He lost less than half a month of time. After using the sword technique his mind also didn’t slow down, his emotions didn’t dim down like before…
He looked into his Soul Ocean before he relaxed. Although the green fire looked like a flame, it had no signs of mixing with the Lu Family Bloodline. Following this, he was shocked as the fire was still burning and spreading around.
What was surprising was that his Soul Power seemed to become much purer.
These Green Flames were providing huge amounts of Soul Power for him.
His consumption of Soul Power today was negligible!
What was going on?
Zong Shou was instantly in deep thought and knew that he should go into secluded meditation to get to the bottom of this.
※※※※
Several days later, Zong Shou looked forward with a weird glow in his eyes.
The Nameless Sword was hanging straight down in front of him.
Zong Shou was in deep thought.
He had figured out the function of the Sword during these few days.
It could swallow souls to turn into Soul Liquid. However it wasn’t directly swallowing like his Heaven Swallowing Energy Conversion Technique.
It was used to wash the Sword to provide ‘fuel’ for its master.
The so-called fuel was the green liquid that entered his Soul Ocean.
That Green Flame was the fire burnt from the liquid. Not only did it help to purify the soul, it also provided a huge amount of Soul Power.
Zong Shou looked in front of him and could see an iron cage being carried in front of his tent.
Within it was a locked up Grade-7 Beast.
Zong Yuan personally captured it and sent it over. There were more than 10 cages outside. However, most of the beasts had already died.
“This is a Red Flame Rat?”
With a thought the Nameless Sword in front of him had flew within the iron cage and pinned onto the thin head of the rat. A spiritual light shone. A moment later it returned to Zong Shou’s arm.
Holding the sword handle, instantly an external force followed up his Chakra Meridians and into the center of his eyebrows.
Moments later a green liquid entered his soul.
It was much smaller and paler than what those millions of evil demons turned into.
The Green Flames that burnt were far from the strength of that day.
Zong Shou didn’t care, the moment that Green Flame spread around his soul and threads of pure Soul Power seeped out, he cast a spell and a Red Flame appeared in his hand.
This was the Sky Burning Flame. Only at this moment, the Flame was much hotter.
Even Zong Shou who was the one who cast the spell felt a burning pain in his palm.
However, he didn’t care about it. He sat cross-legged on the spot, slowly feeling the changes of the Flame. He didn’t feel any small minute changes.
Only when the Green Flame in his Soul Ocean extinguished did he come back to his senses and stop his meditation.
“As expected! Swallowing a soul of a certain element can strengthen the spell of that element. The Red Flame Rat was a fire element beast and was good at using fire so naturally, it strengthened by using Sky Burning Flame.”
“The thicker the green liquid, the stronger one will get! Where did the sword come from?”
Zong Shou was lost. Who gave him such a strong Treasure?
Normal Magical Treasures would have one or two laws and could only strengthen one element or have one special ability. Even the highest grade Artifacts couldn’t have conflicting laws.
However, his Nameless Sword had all kinds of spells!
It would strengthen the spell of whatever soul it swallowed. If it swallowed four to five elements at the same time he would be able to strengthen all of them.
Naturally, there was a restriction. The skill of the Nameless Sword could only come into play after one swallowed the soul. When the Green Flame was used up, it would turn back to normal.
However, it was shocking enough with just these abilities alone.
