Vol 20 Chapter?30 (2/2)

“How odd,” Ning mused to himself

Soon, a black-robed youth appeared in the distance He was seated in the lotus position, and when Ning arrived he opened his eyes to look towards Ning

Those eyes…

They contained a deathly silence within them They seemed to have no life within theh to freeze one’s heart

“View the sword-art,” the black-robed youth said calmly

Ning turned his head to look at the sword-art which had appeared on the nearby giant sword As with before, the entire sword-art was displayed fro watched, he began to feel stunned Even after watching three ti didn’t recover from his dazed state

“Enough” The black-robed youth rose to his feet, a pair of swords appearing in his hands

Ning came back to his senses

“What is this sword-art?” Ning immediately asked

“The name of this sword-art is Seversoul!” The black-robed youth replied

“Seversoul? Seversoul…? The name is just like the sword-art itself…it really does sever the soul” Utter agony filled Ning’s heart when he just visualized that sword-art He kneever, that there was no way for him to truly master this sword-art, because the essence and intent of this sword-art was the ruination of the soul that would come when one experienced true, absolute, eternal despair

Ning, however, had no way of forcing himself to feel this sort of absolute despair! The techniques of this sword-art were also far superior to that of the [Mourning] sword-art; in fact, it was no weaker than Ning’s own [Brightmoon] sword-art It was only surpassed by the [Five Treasures] sword-art itself”

“Come,” the black-robed youth said calmly

Ning nodded, swords appearing in his hands as well

Swish!+ Swish!+

Their two figures becaht

Two , its sword-light flowing out in a consecutive strea the essence of [Five Treasures], [Mourning], and many other techniques

The other was filled with the essence of a ruined soul and utter despair Its profoundness and marvelousness came froh it was different fro and brilliant

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The two continuously battled, advancing and retreating

They actually fought to a coths; both could be described as having reached the apex of skill possible for the fourth stage of swordforce If their swords moved any faster, they would have surpassed the limits of the Heavenly Daos If the intent of their swords was any deeper and stronger, they would have reached the Sword God stage

“So the sword can actually be used in a way like this” Ning had viewed this sword-art three tiuardian actually wielded this sword-art, he instantly gained a hts regarding the [Seversoul] sword-art began to fill his mind

There was an intrinsic difference between Ning and the tenth guardian

The tenth guardian was only capable of unleashi+ng this single sword-art

Ning, however, was capable of learning fro what he learned into his own [Bright process resulted in hi’s overall level of poas slowly, steadily beginning to rise His sword-art became even more unpredictable and ephemeral, and it became faster and more powerful as well

The battle continued for a day…two days…three days…

Neither side used any divine abilities They were solely co in sword-arts

The insights Ning had gained into this sword-art werehi of of nonstop i…but he had still essentially reached the limit possible for him at his current level of sword-arts Any improvements he was now able to make would be uardian at a disadvantage, but the tenth guardian would still be able to launch occasional counterattacks as well

“Eh?”

Ning was suddenly stunned, and his sword-light turned sluggish for a moment

Boo hi

“Why did you stop?” The tenth guardian stood there, a frown on his face Ning’s sword-art was clearly on a slightly higher level than his If they continued to fight without Ningto go into the fifth island However, he could sense that Ning was still slowly i Thus, he didn’t stop the fight and instead continued to battle against Ning

This was because the purpose of Path of Blades was to te, then of course the guardian wasn’t going to halt

But Ning had suddenly couardian

Ning stood there atop the wooden bridge, a dazed look in his eyes In his u cleaving apart Heaven and Earth

BOOM!!!!

The [Seversoul] sword-art worked in a way that was co’s [Brightmoon] was derived froained an to fuse it with the essence of the [Five Treasures] within [Brighth the last bottleneck preventing hi the [Five Treasures]

Prior to this, it was as though a thin curtain ofthe final parts of it clearly But now…Ning broke straight through that final barrier

Boom…

“The [Five Treasures]…” Ning shut his eyes, theto join together All of the insights he had gained into the [Five Treasures] were h speed

He had mastered the entire [Five Treasures]!

There was no doubt about it, no questions left in his mind

“So this…this is what itopened his eyes to stare at the dark skies surrounding hier, and it see
