16: Chapter 16 The Three Forms of Reincarnation

Xing Mu watched Ye Xiu, whose blood Qi soared into the heavens, her large eyes filled with anticipation.

The Legacy of the Blade Master, Sword Lord Li Si—a figure whose status in the Ancient Imperial Court was second only to the Human Emperor—was undoubtedly powerful.

Her memories were currently incomplete.

She could not guarantee whether she would be able to rebuild the prosperous Imperial Court from her memories.

If the Ye Xiu before her could obtain the Legacy within, then perhaps there would be a chance to succeed in rebuilding the order of the Imperial Court.

The [Heaven-Breaking Martial Body] was one of the most dazzling Physiques of the Primordial Era.

If combined with the Blade Master's Legacy, then in this era, the Human Race might be able to return to its Peak, and those myriad races that betrayed the Imperial Court would all be liquidated.

Watching Ye Xiu, whose blood Qi was like a Dragon, his aura gradually surging under the pressure of the Heavenly Saber Moon-Crescent, the anticipation in Xing Mu's eyes grew even stronger.

The [Heaven-Breaking Martial Body] truly lived up to its name as the Human Race's martial saint body that suppressed the Primordial Era; within the range of bearable pressure, it could rapidly achieve a Breakthrough even without a supply of Spiritual Qi.

Inside the Heavenly Saber space, the glorious battle record of the Blade Master's life played out rapidly, like a fast-forwarding movie.

The Martial Skills within were as numerous as the stars.

Demon Slayer, God Slaying, and Immortal Execution—these scenes shocked Ye Xiu.

When all the images vanished, the Blade Master's majestic voice once again resounded throughout the space.

"I was defeated in the end... They... are the true source of the turmoil..."

Following these words, tiny Heavenly Sabers rushed into Ye Xiu's Divine Soul within this space.

The Legacy had begun.

Those Saber Styles of Demon Slayer and God Slaying were quickly comprehended by Ye Xiu in this world, as if he had been enlightened by a master.

This state lasted for a long time.

When it all ended, Ye Xiu was immediately kicked out of the Heavenly Saber space.

Clang...

Ye Xiu opened his eyes, and a beam of saber light shot straight into the sky, disappearing into the Void Realm above the graveyard.

He felt the pressure that had now vanished and looked at the Heavenly Saber Moon-Crescent before him, feeling a tinge of regret in his heart.

This thing had not truly acknowledged him; other than passing down three Saber Styles, it had not been completely brought under his control.

However, this was enough.

Demon Slayer Saber Qi, God Slaying Saber Radiance, and Immortal Execution Saber Intent.

These three Saber Skills were considered the Blade Master's most powerful Legacy, though there were still many terrifying Martial Skills that made him envious that hadn't been passed down.

Still, it was fortunate that these three core Martial Skills had been fully inherited.

After all, in the Blade Master's most glorious battle record, the terrifying power of the Immortal Execution Saber Intent could even suppress and kill that hazy figure who appeared like an immortal.

"The [Demon Slayer] Saber Qi increases power by 3 times, and the [God Slaying] Saber Radiance increases it by 5 times. It is a pity that the [Immortal Execution] Saber Intent is not a strength-increasing type of Martial Skill; otherwise, given the intensity of the [Immortal Execution] Saber Intent, it would likely reach an increase of at least several dozen times."

Ye Xiu felt the three Martial Skills he now controlled, and his heart was greatly shaken.

After accepting the Blade Master's Legacy, his own Realm had also skyrocketed.

His original Physique Realm was merely the first grade of the Sky-Soaring Realm, but now it had reached an astonishing sixth grade, spanning a full five stages.

Was it the impact of the Heavenly Saber's Spiritual power that caused his Physique to advance?

Feeling the pressure around him that had now disappeared, he guessed that all these changes must have been caused by the Heavenly Saber Moon-Crescent.

Sky-Soaring Realm, sixth grade!

His strength had already reached an astonishing 240 Dragon strength.

If he used [Pride of the World] or [God Slaying], his maximum attack intensity could surpass 1,000 Dragon strength.

One Dragon strength was enough to split mountains and shatter rocks.

With 1,000 Dragon strength, he would likely be able to directly blast apart a mountain several hundred meters tall.

Besides this, after accepting the Legacy, many of his questions regarding Cultivation were also solved one by one.

Martial Skill amplification had Realm limitations.

For example, the [Overlord Fist Seal] cultivated to Perfection could have a 1-fold amplification intensity at the Transcendence Realm, but upon reaching the Sky-Soaring Realm, it would only have 0.5-fold amplification; as the Realm increased, the amplification intensity would become weaker and weaker.

However, Legacy Martial Skills were different.

For a Bloodline Martial Skill like [Pride of the World], the 5-fold amplification could extend to the limit of the Bloodline Realm; as long as Ye Xiu could reach that Realm, it would always have a 5-fold amplification.

As for the three Saber Styles inherited from the Blade Master, as long as he did not surpass the Blade Master's original Realm, he would always maintain this level of amplification.

Could the limit of the [Heaven-Breaking Martial Body] be cultivated to the level of the Blade Master?

The answer was unknown.

After all, the Blade Master's Peak combat power could kill even that hazy figure who appeared like an immortal with a single strike.

Even though Ye Xiu had awakened the [Heaven-Breaking Martial Body] and obtained the Blade Master's strongest Legacy, he did not dare to guarantee that he would definitely be able to reach that height.

The Imperial Court spanned one hundred thousand years!

The Blade Master had lived for at least one hundred thousand years; this had almost reached the level of immortality.

The personal panel in his Sea of Consciousness had changed significantly.

[Ye Xiu]

[Bloodline: Heaven-Breaking Martial Body]

[Realm: Sky-Soaring Realm, sixth grade]

[Legacy Cultivation Technique: Primordial Martial Arts General Outline]

[Legacy Martial Skills: Pride of the World, Three Reincarnation Styles]

It turned out that the three Saber Styles passed down by the Blade Master were called the [Three Reincarnation Styles]: Demon Slayer Saber Qi, God Slaying Saber Radiance, and Immortal Execution Saber Intent.

They were among the Blade Master's strongest Martial Skills.

Unfortunately, he had not obtained the Blade Master's Legacy Cultivation Technique from the Heavenly Saber Moon-Crescent.

Cultivation Techniques were different from Martial Skills.

The strength of a Cultivation Technique directly affected the absorption and conversion of Spiritual Qi, as well as the time required for a Breakthrough in Realm; some Cultivation Techniques were born with a predetermined limit.

Even if one cultivated until death, they would be unable to break through the limit of the Cultivation Technique's Realm.

Martial Skills, however, determined one's means of attack; powerful Martial Skills could easily allow a Cultivator to fight across Realms.

On the path of the strong, both Cultivation Techniques and Martial Skills were indispensable.

His own [Primordial Martial Arts General Outline] was extremely tyrannical, but this tyranny was only reflected in the absorption and conversion of Spiritual Qi.

When it came to breaking through Bloodline shackles, it wasn't particularly dazzling.

It seemed to be just a basic Bloodline Legacy; perhaps in the future, when his own Realm reached a certain height, he would be able to awaken other Cultivation Techniques.

Xing Mu had been waiting on the side for a long time.

Seeing Ye Xiu dazed, the towering blood Qi on his body having disappeared, she snorted with dissatisfaction and urged him, "Hey, stop spacing out. Quickly bring me that phoenix feather brush by the side of the graveyard."

The phoenix feather brush?

Ye Xiu turned his head to look at Xing Mu and frowned slightly, wondering whether he should keep his promise and give the item to Xing Mu.

He walked to the edge of the graveyard, knelt solemnly before the tombstone, performed a master-disciple greeting, and only then picked up the phoenix feather brush.

The golden handle was somewhat heavy, and the wolf-hair tip was very vibrant.

An object that looked like an ordinary brush but could be enshrined before the Blade Master's tomb was clearly extremely important.

Just as he was about to put it away, Xing Mu's slightly threatening voice came from afar.

"Kid, you've already obtained the Blade Master's Legacy, yet you're still eyeing the phoenix feather brush? Be careful—the Karma is too great, and you won't be able to bear it."

Karma?

Ye Xiu stopped the action of putting away the brush.

Previously, if someone had spoken to him about Karma, he wouldn't have bothered to pay attention.

But after accepting the three-style Saber Skill Legacy, the [Immortal Execution] Saber Intent within it involved the rules of Karma.

After a long silence, he finally threw the phoenix feather brush in his hand to Xing Mu on the perimeter.

"Got it."

Xing Mu took the phoenix feather brush, in an excellent mood; her gaze toward Ye Xiu was no longer so indifferent.

Subsequently, she drew in the Void Realm.

A force of unknown rules surged from the tip of the phoenix feather brush.

The Void Realm trembled slightly.

A starry gate slowly opened.

"Hey, kid, let's go."

Ye Xiu took a step and was already at Xing Mu's side.

He looked back deeply at the Heavenly Saber Moon-Crescent stuck in the ground, then followed behind Xing Mu and stepped through the starry gate.

Following a flash of brilliance, the two had already left the Small World of the graveyard and returned to the sky outside the stone array.
