538: The state of man and sword as one

Speed! A speed that exceeded the limit of what a Spirit Transformation Cultivator could comprehend!

That was a lethal "pierce" condensed from the Origin of the Primordial Spirit! It aimed straight for Yao Delong's Niwan Palace!

Danger!

Yao Delong's Primordial Spirit reacted even faster than his thoughts! Driven by the instinct of someone who had been through a hundred battles!

Boom—!

The Great Sun Divine Fire in his Dantian erupted! The extremely Yang and rigid, magnificently Divine Might Great Sun Divine Fire suddenly transformed into a wall of bronze and iron outside his Primordial Spirit!

That peerless speed was fast, but Yao Delong's pre-constructed Primordial Spirit defense did not need to "react" at all!

Pfft!

That "Primordial Spirit Heart Sword" slammed fiercely into the wall of divine fire!

The invisible sounds of friction, tearing, and burning Laws pierced into his Soul!

The divine fire barrier vibrated violently, yet it held firm, and like a giant magma shark, it "bit" onto that gray sword light, wrapping and entangling it tightly!

"Slash!"

Golden light flashed in the eyes of Yao Delong's Primordial Spirit!

He gripped the air with his right hand, and the phantom of the pitch-black Heart Sword tempered within his Sea of Consciousness was fiercely "drawn" out by his Primordial Spirit hand!

Ignoring spatial distance, a pure Sword Intent of mental power had already pierced through the air!

There was no loud noise, only the muffled groan of a trapped beast before its end!

Crack!

That gray "Primordial Spirit Heart Sword," which was being burned by divine flames and whose power was being crazily eroded and canceled out, shattered upon impact under this strike of the translucent Primordial Spirit! It was like a broken, withered bone!

Pfft!

Divine Soul backlash! In the distance, the phantom in green robes, which radiated the pressure of the Transcendent Realm, swayed violently and became translucent!

Those eternal "Sword Intent eyes" clearly dimmed by several degrees! For the first time, it displayed unmistakable signs of being "injured"!

The killing intent was fleeting! Yao Delong had no intention of fighting a war of attrition!

"Break!"

He simply pointed with his fingers together!

A Heart Sword phantom, condensed to the extreme, instantly left his body!

Although its speed did not match that stunning pierce of the opponent, it carried a grand, majestic, and supreme true intent that could shatter ten thousand swords, containing the backlash impact from just having crushed the opponent's Origin Divine Ability!

While you are ill... take your life!

The figure seemed to want to gather the remaining Sword Intent to counterattack, but under the onslaught of that domineering will, which was like a galaxy flowing backward, the unformed defense instantly disintegrated!

Sizzle!

There was no earth-shattering explosion. That green-robed figure, like water vapor evaporated by the scorching sun, silently shattered!

It turned into crystal-clear points of light that scattered across the sky, flickering like stardust!

"Experience pack... acquired!"

In the distance, Bi Yao clenched her small fist, almost crushing the fruit pit! Her small face was full of satisfaction with Yao Delong.

Yao Delong sank his mind into his Sea of Consciousness. As he released his will, the points of light across the sky, like tired birds returning to the forest, poured into his boundless, vast, brilliant golden Sea of Consciousness. This time, his Realm was profound, and his Primordial Spirit was as translucent as glazed glass!

The Sword Dao insights of Immortal Master Jianxin at the Soul Transformation Stage! Majestic, pure, and containing the Soul Transformation Stage realizations of a powerhouse who had truly stepped onto the Peak Realm of the sword! It was like a gluttonous feast prepared only for those who understood the sword!

Without hesitation, he used his Primordial Spirit as a cauldron and his Heart Sword as fire, beginning to crazily extract, absorb, and fuse!

Time flowed slowly in this Secret Realm space, and a month passed in the blink of an eye. At a certain moment.

Within Yao Delong's body, which sat cross-legged like a stone statue, a divine sound of creation seemed to ring out! Hum—!

A supreme Sword Intent... No! It was not just Sword Intent! His entire life form was elevating!

Behind him, a huge humanoid phantom that connected heaven and earth faintly emerged! That phantom was not a Dharma form with a clear face, but a pure aggregation of "Intent"!

He was the sword, the stars were the blade, and the mountains and rivers were the hilt!

His breath was like Sword Qi inhaling and exhaling heaven and earth!

His heartbeat was like a hammer forging a Hundred Refinements divine weapon!

His muscles and bones, Bloodline, flowing Yuan power, burning golden divine energy, and even every strand of Divine Thought... were all resonating and vibrating at this moment! They converged into a sharpness that made this Secret Realm space tremble!

Crack! Subtle but clear spatial cracks spread out with Yao Delong as the center!

The third Realm of Sword Dao—Unity of Man and Sword!

The sword is everywhere! Raising his head, taking a step, picking a flower, or plucking a leaf... his own body was the sword! The sharpness was everywhere!

He broke free from the limitations of "objects in hand" and stepped toward the Heaven-Defying Dao where "all things can be a sword, and one's own body is the Origin of the sword"!

In the distance, the half-eaten spiritual fruit in Bi Yao's hand fell to the ground. She tilted her small face, looking at the humanoid sword light phantom that soared into the sky and slashed through the Secret Realm light screen. Her large, gem-like eyes were full of astonishment, which then turned into great excitement as she clapped her small hands and jumped up!

"He succeeded! He actually... really broke through the barrier of Unity of Man and Sword! And he was forcefully pushed into the Peak of Late Stage Soul Transformation by these insights!"

She looked at Yao Delong, who was sitting in the center of the storm, her eyes complex: "What a monster... I really don't understand this kid. He didn't even need to use the ultimate Profound Truth of Primordial Spirit Transforming into Sword, and he actually took the backlash head-on? What kind of Heaven-Defying physique is this that carries such a Primordial Spirit..."

Just then—Yao Delong, having fused with the last bit of Immortal Master Jianxin's insight light dust, suddenly restrained the violent intent of Unity of Man and Sword around his body! It was like a peerless fierce weapon returning to its sheath!

He slowly opened his eyes. There was no longer intense sword light in his pupils. Instead, there was a deep tranquility like the void of the universe. In the depths of that tranquility, it seemed as if billions of tiny sharp sword lights were flickering in and out of existence in the dark starry sky!

"Hoo..." He exhaled a breath of turbid air, which turned into a few strands of invisible Sword Qi, cutting the flowers and plants in the corner of the stone platform, causing them to break off with eerie neatness.

He stood up, feeling the Yuan power and Sword Intent within his body that were full to the extreme and ready to break through a certain critical point at any time.

Within his Sea of Consciousness, his Primordial Spirit was shimmering with golden light, almost solidified into a real form! The Heart Sword phantom was even more realistic, and wherever his Divine Thought reached, he could feel the existence of countless "Qi mechanism gaps" in heaven and earth! His entire person had undergone a rebirth!

Bi Yao hopped and skipped to the edge of the dissipated light screen, beaming at Yao Delong on the stone platform: "Hey, hey! Kid! How does it feel? That old man's bottom-of-the-box treasures all ended up benefiting you, didn't they!"

Yao Delong solemnly cupped his hands and bowed to Bi Yao: "Thank you, Senior, for bestowing this Opportunity! Helping me reach this Realm directly, I have gained many insights!" This gratitude was sincere.

"Hey! Why be so polite!" Bi Yao waved her small hand indifferently, her rounded chin raised proudly, "The stronger you are, the closer the day will be when I can go out and roam with you... cough cough, I mean, repair the Master's relics!"

Her pair of emerald eyes, which seemed to be able to speak, rolled around, and a cunning light hid in her dimples. She suddenly leaned closer and lowered her voice mysteriously: "But honestly confess? That trick you used just now to block the Primordial Spirit Transforming into Sword... tsk tsk, no matter how I look at it, something is not right."

She paced back and forth in front of Yao Delong with her hands behind her back, putting on an appearance of seeing through everything: "Kid, don't try to fool me! Although your Primordial Spirit is quite strong, just having a strong Primordial Spirit wouldn't stop that 'Primordial Spirit Transforming into Sword' from piercing you! Your Heaven-Grade Weapon small plate might be able to take some Soul pressure, but blocking that kind of piercing true intent specifically? You're trying to fool ghosts!"

She suddenly stuck out a jade-white small finger, almost poking the tip of Yao Delong's nose: "Honestly confess! Is it because you're hiding that Dao Artifact embryo deep in your Sea of Consciousness that you can't use? No! That thing is more like a glowing safe! Speak quickly! What method is it? This old lady has roamed the Azure Cloud World, what secrets haven't I seen? You can't fool me!"
