Chapter 936: Sword Intent Perfection

The Heavenly Sword Crown Prince stood outside the Myriad Sword Mountain, his expression calm, showing no signs of emotion.

Meanwhile, at the mountain’s peak, over a thousand sword intents simultaneously slashed towards Su Han. These intents were invisible and intangible, yet they truly existed, and sword cultivators felt them most acutely.

Each sword intent was as vivid as if material, like an unparalleled sword cultivator wielding a sword, delivering an immense sense of oppression.

However, Su Han was more pleased than frightened, controlling the Sword of Slaughter as he faced the sword intents from all directions.

In an instant, a deafening roar erupted, the sharp, metallic clanging resonated continuously, as if swords and knives were clashing incessantly in a fierce showdown.

Though Su Han was not purely a sword cultivator, his accomplishments in the sword path were far superior to ordinary sword cultivators. These thousand sword intents couldn’t overpower him, and each was annihilated, transforming into pure sword intent energy that was absorbed by the Sword of Slaughter, turning it into a faint blood hue.

“Again!”

Su Han let out a low shout, battle intent surging from his heart, full of grandeur, eager to challenge the sword intents.

“This time it’s ten thousand sword intents, be careful!”

The Mountain Soul warned solemnly, and immediately, tens of thousands of sharp swords on the Myriad Sword Mountain simultaneously trembled, unleashing terrible sword intents, like a lethal rain of swords, whistling towards Su Han.

“Good!”

Su Han did not retreat or show fear; instead, he confronted the challenge head-on. The originally illusory Sword of Slaughter gradually solidified, its blade turning crimson as if forged from blood.

Sword Scripture of Ages

At this moment, Su Han activated the Number Secret, concurrently operating both the Myriad Swords Returning Origin Technique and the Sword Scripture of Ages.

Normally, a person can only cultivate one cultivation technique, because different techniques operate in different ways, affecting the methods of cultivation. Cultivating simultaneously can easily lead to demonic deviation.

However, Su Han’s true cultivation technique was the Devouring Heaven Demonic Art. Whether it was the Myriad Swords Returning Origin Technique or the Sword Scripture of Ages, he used them as auxiliary methods, akin to practicing ordinary martial techniques, so there wasn’t much of an issue.

Besides, he possessed the Number Secret, allowing him to operate two techniques at once, and now he wished to deploy both simultaneously to discover their commonalities, perhaps fusing these two top-level sword cultivation techniques to create a powerful swordsmanship.

The Myriad Swords Returning Origin Technique and the Sword Scripture of Ages were both creations of unparalleled sword cultivators. An ordinary person acquiring one would suffice to dominate the world, yet Su Han mastered both, and if others knew, they would be insanely jealous.

Unfortunately, even though Su Han possessed two sword intents, the Sword Intent of Ages and the Slaughter Sword Intent were different. The former was obtained from a sword intent seed, akin to an energy, similar to demonic qi and divine sense, so Su Han’s cultivation in the Sword Scripture of Ages was inferior to the Myriad Swords Returning Origin Technique.

“The Myriad Swords Sect emphasizes quantity, capable of continuously condensing sword qi, unleashing myriad swords that rend heaven and earth.”

“The Sword Scripture of Ages emphasizes the passage of time and the flow of eras. The two aren’t without common ground. From one to many is a process that requires time, but if time bolsters the sword qi, this process can be vastly accelerated.”

While combating the sword intents from all sides, Su Han concurrently operated the two techniques, gradually uncovering some insights through practice.

“If I merge the Slaughter Sword Intent with the Sword Intent of Ages, I might achieve a more powerful sword intent. But merging sword intents isn’t simple. I should first use the Sword Intent of Ages to temper my Slaughter Sword Intent!”

Su Han had a sudden inspiration to merge sword intents, but upon trying, he found it exceedingly difficult, beyond his current capability, and decided to set this idea aside for future opportunity.

At this time, using the Sword Intent of Ages as an aid to help the Sword of Slaughter destroy sword intents, he increased the efficiency of the sword intents’ baptism, proving a good strategy.

Soon, Su Han annihilated all ten thousand sword intents, and the Sword of Slaughter, initially in a phantom state, reached a semi-real state, as if about to transform from illusion to reality.

Once the Sword of Slaughter fully materialized, it would signify that Su Han’s Slaughter Sword Intent had reached the Perfection realm.

“Mountain Soul, bring on a hundred thousand sword intents!”

Su Han urgently needed more pressure, so he summoned the Mountain Soul.

A hundred thousand sword intents was no small number. The Mountain Soul was somewhat worried, but seeing Su Han’s resolute gaze, he hesitated for a moment before agreeing.

Nevertheless, he remained highly focused. If Su Han showed signs of being overwhelmed, he would swiftly intervene.

He hoped Su Han would take him out of the Myriad Virtual Realm, thus he naturally didn’t want Su Han meeting any misfortune here.

Whoosh!

The entire Myriad Sword Mountain violently shook, and all the sharp swords embedded in it emitted brilliant light.

In the next moment, a torrent of a hundred thousand sword intents soared into the sky, transformed into a massive wave of sword intent surging from all directions towards Su Han.

At that moment, Su Han, like a lone boat amidst a tsunami, faced imminent danger of capsizing and sinking.

Yet Su Han’s eyes shone brightly, pushing the two cultivation techniques to their extremes, leading with the Sword of Slaughter and supporting with the Sword Intent of Ages, confronting the hundred thousand sword intents.

Boom!

In the next moment, the hundred thousand sword intents engulfed Su Han’s figure, causing the entire world to boil, space twisting as if on the brink of being obliterated.

The Mountain Soul watched intently, his heart tense, focusing unblinkingly on Su Han’s position. Though Su Han’s aura was subdued, there were no signs of weakness, so he continued to wait.

“The baptism of a hundred thousand sword intents, not even Great Emperor realm experts dare attempt this lightly; you mustn’t have any accidents!”

The Mountain Soul was deeply worried, fearing that Su Han might perish under the baptism of the sword intents, but there was nothing he could do but wait.

An intense clash of sword intents unfolded on the Myriad Sword Mountain. Su Han demonstrated his full potential, battling the hundred thousand sword intents. Despite the difficulty, it brought about deeper insights into the Myriad Swords Returning Origin Technique and the Sword Scripture of Ages.

Long afterward, under the Mountain Soul’s tense and awe-struck gaze, the hundred thousand sword intents gradually dissipated and were ultimately annihilated, leaving behind only a figure covered in scars, yet standing tall as a spear.

“He actually succeeded!”

The Mountain Soul was overwhelmed with emotion, unable to believe it.

At that moment, Su Han appeared pale, his body battered, panting heavily, sweat pouring down as if he might collapse at any moment.

Yet his eyes were extraordinarily bright, his gaze like a sword, incisive and unyielding, making it hard for anyone to meet his eyes.

Above his head, a blade, crimson as blood and seemingly solid, emitted a brilliant sword light, as if a sea of blood and corpses manifested, intimidating the world.

The Slaughter Sword Intent, transformed from illusion to reality, had finally reached perfection!
