293: Accepting the legacy

Yao Delong's heart beat violently at this moment!

This was the moment he had been waiting for!

He met Bi Yao's gaze, which seemed capable of seeing through one's Soul, and without the slightest hesitation,

His eyes were as firm as a rock, and word by word, he spoke with iron-clad determination:

"I, your Disciple Yao Delong, am willing to inherit this Dao! Even if the path ahead leads to ten thousand deaths, I shall have no regrets!"

His voice rang out, echoing through this strange space with a resolute determination that moved forward without looking back!

Bi Yao looked at the burning fire in Yao Delong's eyes and his fearless conviction.

Finally, a smile of relief and anticipation appeared on her small face.

"Good! Well said, 'even if the path ahead leads to ten thousand deaths, I shall have no regrets'!" Bi Yao waved her small hand suddenly!

Rumble—!

The entire strange space began to shake violently!

The ground cracked open, and a massive stone platform—ancient, weathered, and exuding an endless, sharp Sword Intent—slowly rose from beneath the earth!

Countless profound and mysterious sword runes were inscribed upon the stone platform, and in its center,

A hazy, rainbow-colored light cluster, seemingly condensed from billions of Sword Intents, floated in the air!

"This is the 'Heart Sword Legacy Platform' left behind by my Revered Master! The Legacy is within that light cluster!"

Bi Yao's voice carried excitement and a hint of trembling.

"Yao Delong, step onto the stone platform! Use your Heart Sword to communicate with it! To comprehend it! To... conquer it!"

"Remember! Within the Legacy, dangers abound! Guard your original heart, and only then will you have a slim chance of survival!"

Yao Delong looked at the Legacy Platform and the rainbow light cluster that exuded supreme Sword Intent.

Feeling the hum and yearning of the burning silence Heart Sword within his body, a brilliant light erupted in his eyes like never before!

He took a deep breath and stepped out, his body transforming into a streak of light.

Without hesitation, he shot toward that ancient and weathered stone platform!

The expected violent impact did not come.

As if passing through a layer of warm water, the scene before his eyes suddenly changed!

He found himself in an infinite Void Realm.

Beneath his feet was that ancient, weathered Legacy stone platform, inscribed with countless profound sword runes.

Above his head was a vast and deep starry sky, seemingly composed of pure Sword Intent.

And before him, from the core of that rainbow light cluster, a majestic torrent of information was continuously gushing out.

Ignoring his will, it forcibly poured into his Sea of Consciousness!

"It's coming!" Yao Delong's mind sharpened, and he immediately focused his spirit, making his mind clear and empty.

The expected Soul-tearing pain did not appear.

Instead, it was replaced by a sudden enlightenment, as if wisdom was being poured into his head!

Countless profound and mysterious pieces of information were like a trickling stream,

And then like a surging river, naturally imprinting themselves in the depths of his Soul!

Heart Sword Without Trace—the complete Legacy!

It was no longer a matter of groping and speculating over fragments, but a supreme method that pointed directly to the Great Dao!

How to use the Divine Soul as a furnace and the will as a hammer to truly condense, quench, and polish the Heart Sword,

Turning it from an illusory projection into a tangible weapon of slaughter!

How to perfectly fuse one's own understood Sword Domain with the Heart Sword, transforming the Domain into a sword and using the sword to govern the Domain!

The Soul-extinguishing tide in the Death Basin that made people tremble with fear,

Its essence was precisely the terrifying embryonic form of a Domain formed by the Heart Sword fusing with the Sword Domain and triggering the Nirvana Law of heaven and earth!

What shook Yao Delong's mind even more were the subsequent Realms! After Soul Transformation, the Primordial Spirit Transforming into Sword!

The Heart Sword and the Primordial Spirit would completely merge; with a single thought, the Heart Sword would be born—the Primordial Spirit is the sword, and the sword is the Primordial Spirit!

Slaying enemies invisibly, breaking techniques before they are even born!

That was a terrifying Divine Ability that truly touched the Origin of the Law and was enough to make the heavens and earth change color!

At the same time, a clear realization surfaced in his heart—Heaven Rank Peak!

"Hiss..." Even with Yao Delong's firm will, he couldn't help but gasp at this moment!

Heaven Rank Peak! In the entire Azure Cloud World, the number of Cultivation Techniques and secret manuals that could be called Heaven Rank was countable on one's fingers!

He had heard his Revered Master mention that the Yin Yang Sect's supreme art, the "Yin Yang Primordial Chaos Sutra,"

Was a supreme method of the Yin and Yang Dao, and it was only at the Heaven Rank Peak! Furthermore, only successive Sect Heads were qualified to comprehend it!

And this "Heart Sword Without Trace," although not a primary Cultivation Technique, was a supreme secret manual that pointed directly to the Divine Soul's Origin and the Peak of the Dao of the sword!

Its value, in some aspects, even surpassed the "Yin Yang Primordial Chaos Sutra"!

This was a Legacy sufficient to make the entire Azure Cloud World go mad!

As the massive amount of information poured in, the parts that far exceeded what the Nascent Soul Stage could understand were automatically sealed by an invisible force, as if covered by a layer of mist.

Clearly, the Legacy also followed the restrictions of Realms; forcibly peeking would only be counterproductive.

"The complete Heart Sword Without Trace... it truly is earth-shattering!"

Yao Delong's heart surged. The value of this Legacy far exceeded his imagination!

Just the content of the Nascent Soul chapter was enough to make his combat power take a qualitative leap!

However, the dangers of the Legacy had only just begun!

Buzz!

In the center of the Legacy platform, the rainbow light cluster fluctuated violently, and a blurry figure slowly condensed into shape.

It was the phantom of a man dressed in a simple green robe, his face blurred and unclear.

Only his eyes were like two unsheathed peerless divine swords—cold, pure, and containing a sharpness that could cut through everything!

He had no physical sword in his hand, but a condensed-to-the-limit Nirvana Sword Intent seemed to be a part of his body!

Sword Heart True Man—Nascent Soul Stage Incarnation!

An invisible pressure instantly enveloped Yao Delong.

This Incarnation had no thoughts or emotions; it only possessed the purest and most Peak comprehension and combat techniques of the Heart Sword Without Trace from when Sword Heart True Man was in the Nascent Soul Stage!

Only by defeating him could one obtain that sword dao insight that spanned across time and space!

Failure... at best, the Divine Soul would be damaged and the dao foundation shaken; at worst, one's consciousness would be slashed away by this pure Sword Intent, turning them into a walking corpse!

"Same Realm... a contest of pure sword dao techniques..."

Yao Delong's gaze was solemn. This was precisely his current greatest weakness!

His affinity had plummeted back to 3 points, which meant that the newly born Nascent Soul power in his body was not only small in total amount,

But its recovery speed was as slow as a crawling turtle, and its purity was also greatly compromised.

If it were a contest of consumption, he would undoubtedly lose!

He had to crush the opponent with an absolute advantage in technique!

"System!" Yao Delong called out in his heart without hesitation.

"Increase the proficiency of the 'Heart Sword Without Trace' Nascent Soul chapter!"

[Ding! Detected Heaven Rank Peak secret manual 'Heart Sword Without Trace' Nascent Soul chapter.]

[To increase to the Perfection Realm, 40 yin-yang value points are required. Do you confirm?]

"Confirm!" Yao Delong shouted inwardly.

He had plenty of yin yang points now; 1060 points were enough to squander!

[Ding! Consumed 40 yin-yang value points! 'Heart Sword Without Trace' Nascent Soul chapter proficiency successfully increased!]

[Current remaining yin-yang value: 1020 points!]

Boom—!!!

An indescribable enlightenment instantly exploded in Yao Delong's Sea of Consciousness!

It was like wisdom being poured into his head! Those profound methods regarding the condensation of the Heart Sword and its Fusion with the Sword Domain that had just been poured into his mind,

In an instant, they became incredibly clear and thorough!

It was as if he had already painstakingly cultivated this method for decades!

Within the Dantian Qi Sea, that pitch-black burning silence Heart Sword held by the Nascent Soul suddenly erupted with an unprecedented light!

The sword's body hummed and vibrated, and an even more pure, sharp, and deep Sword Intent of destruction and incineration burst forth!

At the same time, an invisible, strange fluctuation with the dual attributes of incineration and destruction,

With Yao Delong as the center, instantly spread out!

This fluctuation was invisible and intangible, yet it contained a terrifying power that pointed directly at the Divine Soul!

This was precisely the core killing move of the "Heart Sword Without Trace" Nascent Soul chapter—Nirvana Soul Domain!

It perfectly fused the power of the Heart Sword with one's own sword dao Domain, forming a destructive field targeted at the Divine Soul and Physical Body!
