558 It is One and not Merging (1/2)

\”This is the scene of the absolute beginning that you saw, how many years of your lifespan did you use up?\”

Zong Shou calculated mentally before he smiled and replied, \”Around seven hundred to see this less than a breath scene of the absolute beginning. Unfortunately, my cultivation is limited and many places couldn't be fully shown.\”

\”Seven hundred years? That is a large portion of your lifespan. Speaking of which, where was the rest of your lifespan used at? Not bad, your comprehension of the World Viewing Platform has already exceeded what I expected. Even if you used a thousand years of lifespan, it is worth it.\”

As Dragon Shadow spoke, his face grew even darker and more sunken. \”Even I have gained a lot this time. Many of my doubts can be answered. Many laws and theories are understood. Unfortunately, it is still not enough to merge the Nine Swords.\”

That darkness disappeared right away, after which he smiled consolingly. \”You don't have to worry! Your master actually does have ability to try for the end realm. I dragged it only to perfect my path, and prevent me from being unable to reach the true realm due to weaknesses in foundations, because I was greedy and not satisfied. How many end realm experts in this world have truly perfect foundations?

\”End realm experts live forever in this world, that was actually not bad already, who knows how many people dream of that. I have made up my mind, twenty more years. No matter if I succeed or not, I will put down all my beliefs and try to break through…\”

He rambled on. Rather than saying he was explaining to Zong Shou, it was more like he was trying to convince himself.

Zong Shou didn't make a sound as he listened, it wasn't appropriate for him to comment. When Dragon Shadow finished he said flatly, \”I told Aokun before that although I remembered the scenes of the absolute beginning, I was unable to gain much comprehension. However, just now, during my battle with Shenxiao, I obtained some gains. Master, please give me some advice!\”

When Dragon Shadow heard that he broke into a laugh. To be able to fight a god realm expert at Grade Eight was a tough to find opportunity.

With Zong Shou's sword path talents, it was natural that he comprehended something within.

However, this kid was probably thinking about helping him. However, with his current cultivation, how could he be of much help?

Zong Shou didn't wait for him to agree, pulling out the broken Tan sword and stabbing out towards Dragon Shadow. That sword seemed ethereal and light at the start, without any strength at all.

However when that sword shot out, this world border spiritual river instantly collapsed. Just the ripples from within caused this space to shake.

\”Sword intent soul!\”

Pretty much right away Dragon Shadow could sense a faintly discernible sword intent stabbing towards his heart.

He knew that Zong Shou had reached the intermediate sword soul level already, so this wasn't really surprising.

Although he didn't have much hope, he was anticipating what Zong Shou had comprehended from this battle.

In the next instance, the hair all over his body stood up.

...This sword stabbing over, it was really similar in intent to the illusion from before.

A vast energy, seemingly able to suppress everything right from its source.

\”Absolute beginning! Absolute beginning sword intent!\”

Dragon Shadow's brows rose up, filled with unspeakable surprise. Zong Shou, this kid, was actually able to comprehend the absolute beginning intent to the soul realm?

The world had thousands of sword intents, thousands of paths, but even if one comprehended them all, it might not be as good as such a path that pointed right to the source!

Joy surged, and Dragon Shadow couldn't help but exclaim.

Eh? Why did this happen?

When that broken Tan sword was halfway through, a light ring sounded on the sword's body.

Zong Shou was really calm. In that instant he entered a perfect state with the heaven and earth.

Connected to the heaven and earth, energy and soul merging, gathering on the sword. The sword in his hand seemed like one dot, while also seeming like a new world was expanding!

It looked like it had broken through the restrictions of time. As the sword slashed out it charged towards Dragon Shadow's throat.

At this moment Zong Shou's face was covered in an unnatural red glow. However he didn't think much about it, just wanting to merge all his martial path attainments, all his comprehension, all his spell learnings into this sword.

Dragon Shadow's eyes shone brightly, pointing out with a finger in the air without hesitating right at the tip of Zong Shou's broken tan sword.

Keng! Hong!

There was first a sharp ringing as the sword body shook, followed by an explosion. The broken sword instantly shattered into millions of shards and scattered about.

Zong Shou spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, retreating dozens of feet. It wasn't that Dragon Shadow lacked control and injured him, but instead he suffered the recoil of the sword intent.

\”This is your sword path? Not bad, as expected from the disciple of mine. With just this sword alone, within a few hundred years you can reach the god realm the sword intent!\”

Whilst speaking, Dragon Shadow was distracted, like he was thinking back to something.

Just now he really felt that Zong Shou's sword had something within it. Something that was really important to him, or a real chance to break through.

However, when he thought carefully about it, he had totally no idea, unable to think about anything at all. Like he was just one small layer away and unable to break through it.
