Supreme Dragon Martial Soul - Chapter 574 - 250: Quasi-Sword Intent Swordsman, Illusion and Reality!
Chapter 574: Chapter 250: Quasi-Sword Intent Swordsman, Illusion and Reality!
Crack!
As the imposing figure and Ji Yuanhao’s figure shattered, it was as if a small shackle in Luo Cheng’s heart had broken!
That day, when Sun Yingyang ignited the Soul Smoke and summoned the Ji Family Venerable, with those unparalleled means, it left a shadow in Luo Cheng’s heart, subtly affecting him.
At this moment, that shadow finally dispersed completely!
Luo Cheng felt an unprecedented sense of relaxation, clarity, and transparency!!
The next moment.
Boom!
A terrifying Sword Intent soared up from Luo Cheng’s body, transforming into a towering sword shadow!
The sword shadow seemed both real and illusory, its terrifying sharpness spread all around, causing the surrounding dark lake water to shake violently!
With the shadow in his mind exterminated, Luo Cheng’s Sword Intent took a huge leap, moving forward crucially!
The Sword Intent successfully advanced to Nine Percent Sword Intent Prototype!
Luo Cheng could clearly feel that the formerly elusive Sword Intent was becoming more tangible, transitioning from intangible to gradually real!
Of course, this was just an illusion. Even true Sword Intent is intangible, unless it reaches a profound Realm, progressing step by step, until it becomes tangible!
However, this was already sufficient.
The enhancement brought by the Nine Percent Sword Intent Prototype far exceeded Luo Cheng’s expectations, greatly increasing his attack power, and making his mind clearer.
Previously, many obscure and confusing aspects of Sword Dao suddenly became clear at the moment of the Sword Intent’s advancement!
For instance, the Fourth Form Thunder Sound of the Heavenly Fall Sword Technique, which he had been unable to integrate, now seemed to be within his understanding, and successful integration was just around the corner!
Moreover, the Fifth Form Star Sinking of the Heavenly Fall Sword Technique had broken through from the Great Success Realm to the Perfection Realm, making its power incomparable to before!
“Oh!”
Opening his eyes, Luo Cheng was surprised to find that the surrounding area, originally as dark as an abyss, had turned clear and transparent.
The eerie aura contained within the lake water had been completely obliterated!
“Good! Tempering my Sword Intent with the Sword King’s Will imbued it with the Power of Slaughter! Even though it’s just a trace now, it’s far beyond what other swordsmen of the same Realm can compare to.”
This was the Seventh Level of the Seven-Colored Spring, a place even Heavenly-level Great Powers dared not tread lightly. Only the Nine Percent Sword Intent Prototype couldn’t possibly achieve such a feat.
The ability to annihilate the eerie aura around, as vast as an abyss and ocean, was certainly related to the Sword King’s Will in his Sea of Consciousness!
At this moment, even Luo Cheng couldn’t grasp the extent of his own strength.
However, there was one thing he was absolutely confident about.
Now, he already has the qualification to compete for the top three on the Xuanhe List, standing on equal footing with the Eighth Prince Jin Min!!
As for whether he could defeat Jin Min, only an actual battle could tell.
Hundreds of meters away.
“Hmm? Over here!”
Yin Li, who was bitterly searching for Luo Cheng’s whereabouts, immediately looked in the direction where Luo Cheng was.
“This is… Nine Percent Sword Intent! His Sword Intent has advanced again! Quasi-Sword Intent Swordsman!”
Noticing the towering sword shadow and the overwhelming sharpness, Yin Li was momentarily stunned, a look of disbelief in her eyes, as her breathing quickened slightly.
From the examination at Mimeng Zang Mountain till now, she had witnessed step by step as Luo Cheng’s Sword Intent Realm advanced from a Seventy Percent Sword Intent Prototype to the present Nine Percent Sword Intent Prototype!
The Nine Percent Sword Intent Prototype signifies a profound foundation in Sword Dao, of significant importance, making one a Quasi-Sword Intent Swordsman admired by all!
Such huge progress in such a short time, even with the Seven-Colored Spring’s mystique, seemed unlikely!
“Looks like I underestimated his talent in Sword Dao…”
Yin Li couldn’t help but take a deep breath, thinking that merely calling Luo Cheng a once-in-a-century sword genius seemed inadequate.
“Oh no!”
Suddenly, Yin Li’s eyebrows furrowed.
One wave had not settled when another arose. After the burst of Sword Intent, the entire dark body of water suddenly began trembling fiercely, twisting and changing, becoming extremely unstable.
Yin Li sensed the eerie aura around her starting to gather in large quantities, the surrounding lake water becoming even darker, a dark vortex rapidly forming with Luo Cheng at its center, like a black hole emitting an inexplicable force.
“This is bad, the water of the Seventh Level of the Seven-Colored Spring already possesses true meaning, ever-changing. The more you resist, the more intense the backlash becomes! His recent Sword Intent advancement triggered the Seven-Colored Spring’s backlash!”
Though Yin Li, as a Heavenly-level Great Power, had a calm composure in the face of calamity, her face still turned extremely grim at this moment, her heart pounding uncontrollably, while fine sweat oozed from her smooth forehead.
She felt the dark vortex ahead was like the entrance to hell, with inscrutable terror, amplifying her negative emotions several times over.
“No! This place is too terrifying! If I stay any longer, I might not be able to escape, getting trapped inside!”
Yin Li tried to approach in Luo Cheng’s direction a few steps, but an invisible force immediately enveloped her, solidifying the lake water as if it were frozen, making her immobile.
No matter how much she focused, her mind began to brim with hallucinations, immediately deciding to retreat.
However, just as she hesitated, the dark vortex as vast as an abyss thoroughly formed, engulfing her figure.
In an instant, Yin Li’s body froze in place, her eyes turning vacant, her thoughts and consciousness sinking into the illusory spiritual world constructed by the Seven-Colored Spring exploiting the weaknesses of the human heart!
Buzz!
Luo Cheng was also engulfed simultaneously.
At the moment the dark vortex formed, the illusory sword shadow shattered immediately, and the transparent lake water around Luo Cheng turned pitch-black as ink, with endless darkness crashing towards him like towering waves!
Buzz!
In an instant, Luo Cheng found himself in a vibrant world.
The mountains were green, the water lustrous, flowers blossomed everywhere, and a faint fragrance filled the air. A pavilion stood among it, tranquil and natural, everything making one feel at ease.
In the pavilion right in front of Luo Cheng stood a graceful figure.
The breeze rustled, her attire floated, the white dress danced, outlining the alluring jade body vividly, her brows like crescent moons, lips like painted scarlet, just a side profile already giving a stunning impression, as if an unworldly fairy.
The woman turned, it was Yun Mengli, who walked gracefully towards Luo Cheng, her stunning, proud face remaining so dauntingly untouchable, yet her eyes looking at Luo Cheng held a different sparkle, grasping Luo Cheng’s hand:
“Luo Cheng, I know your feelings for me. I’ve been injured by the Extreme Dao Sect disciple Ying Tianxing and now need your body to heal. Can you do that for me?”
Yun Mengli’s breath was like orchids, gentle as water, her fingers gliding in Luo Cheng’s palm, the sensation warm and tender.
Everything felt so real, making Luo Cheng’s breath quicken for a moment, somewhat distracted, his heart shocked by the mystique of the Seven-Colored Spring.
The Seven-Colored Spring exploited human emotions and desires, aiming directly at the heart’s weaknesses. If not for his strong soul power and immensely tempered spirit and will, he would have instantly fallen into it, losing himself, unable to extricate.
Though, distinguishing between illusion and reality was one thing, whether willing to awaken was another.
Looking at Yun Mengli, although Luo Cheng knew it was all an illusion, his heart still struggled somewhat.
“Hope you are safe and sound!”
Taking a deep breath, a torrent surged in Luo Cheng’s Sea of Consciousness, his spirit highly concentrated, prepared to shatter all illusion before him.
But just then, an incredibly delightful soft touch swept over Luo Cheng, accompanied by a lingering fragrant aroma.
This sensation and fragrance, surprisingly, didn’t originate from the illusory world!
This jolted Luo Cheng’s spirit, his consciousness drifting between illusion and reality, immediately seeing an incredible scene.
Unbeknownst to him, Yin Li, one of the ten great True Disciples of the Luoxia Sect, had actually come beside him!
At this moment, Yin Li’s cheeks were flushed, eyes dreamy, her breathtaking figure clinging to him, surprisingly not a single thread draped, her flawless skin translucent snow-white, her delicate neck, full bosom, and slender waist, every secret laid bare before Luo Cheng without reservation!
