775: Fourth Realm of Swordsmanship

"Good!" Yao Delong immediately sat cross-legged, focused his mind, and exerted his full effort to receive and digest this vast essence of the Sword Dao Legacy!

Meanwhile, outside the Secret Realm, at the Peach Blossom Abode.

Bi Yao, who had been watching the scenes inside the Legacy Space through a Water Mirror, had a nearly blank expression on her delicate, doll-like face for the first time!

Her small mouth was slightly agape, wide enough to fit an egg!

The jasper fishing rod in her hand fell into the stream with a "clack," yet she remained completely oblivious!

She slightly opened her small mouth, her eyes, which seemed to contain the stars and the sea, filled with ill-concealed shock!

"I... I'm not seeing things, am I?" She subconsciously rubbed her eyes and muttered to herself, "Withstanding the Void Sword Condensation head-on? Shattering the Legacy phantom with a single palm strike?!"

"This kid... what's going on with his Physical Body?!" Bi Yao stared intently toward the Legacy Stone Platform, as if trying to pierce through space to see through Yao Delong's secrets.

"That Blood-Qi Smoke... those three Divine Wheels... hiss... this Physical Body strength is simply more terrifying than those old monsters who have specialized in Body Refining Cultivation Techniques for ten thousand years! And that power to imprison the Heart Sword... it's overbearingly unreasonable!"

"And that Insight into Delusion... it seems even more acute than when Old Man Sword Heart was at the same Realm back then!"

"His use of the Heart Sword Incarnation is masterful, and his Physical Body is incredibly powerful... This kid..."

In Bi Yao's eyes, which seemed capable of piercing through eternity, her expression shifted constantly, finally turning into a whisper filled with profound wonder:

"Yao Delong... you little monster's Luck is simply too Heaven-Defying, isn't it?! Not only did you receive the true Legacy of Old Man Sword Heart, but you've also Cultivated such a horrifying Sacred Body Refining Method! I'm afraid the Azure Cloud World is about to change because of you!"

At this moment, inside the Legacy Space.

Yao Delong sat cross-legged in the air, his entire mind fully immersed in his Sea of Consciousness, like a gluttonous beast, crazily devouring and digesting the vast Sword Dao insights obtained from the green-robed phantom!

This insight belonged to Sword Heart True Man's ultimate understanding of the Sword Dao at the Void Refining Realm; it was massive, profound, and mysterious, like a boundless ocean of swords!

When he received the Legacy during the Soul Transformation Stage last time, Yao Delong had already relied on his amazing Comprehension Ability to push his Sword Dao Realm to the Peak of the third Realm, "Man-Sword Unity," in one go!

To this end, he had already prepared for a rainy day, Cultivating the top-tier Sword Dao secret technique he mastered, the Nine Transformations of the Vast Sun, to the state of Perfection, laying an incredibly solid Sword dao foundation!

Everything he did was for today—to attempt a breakthrough into the next supreme Realm of the Sword Dao: Sword Intent Soul Condensation!

The Void Refining Realm insights left by Sword Heart True Man were far more vast than imagined!

Even though Yao Delong's Spiritual Power Affinity had reached the maximum value of 10 and his Comprehension Ability was that of a Heaven-Defying Prodigy, it was absolutely impossible for him to succeed overnight when facing this torrent of knowledge condensed from pure Sword Intent!

He was like a greedy sponge, or a high-speed precision furnace, using his strongest mental will as a guide to decompose, absorb, and integrate this majestic Sword Dao Profound Truth bit by bit into his own Sword Dao Origin.

Time quietly passed within this chaotic Legacy Space.

Minute by minute, second by second... Outside the Secret Realm, at the Sword Heart Residence.

Bi Yao sat quietly on a bluestone by the stream, her jade fingers unconsciously tapping the smooth stone surface, her gaze distant as she looked toward the Legacy Stone Platform.

She had guarded this place for over ten thousand years.

In those ten thousand years, how many brilliant Prodigies had she seen?

Peerless geniuses from the Eastern Region, Demon Domain, Devil Domain, and even the Central Heaven Domain had all stepped onto that stone platform.

However, ninety-nine percent of these so-called Prodigies fell at the first chasm of the introductory chapter of Heart Sword Without Trace—condensing Heart Sword Power!

This was certainly not because their Aptitude was insufficient!

Condensing the Heart Sword was unpredictably dangerous! It required perfectly fusing the murderous, fierce, and domineering Sword Intent with the fragile and sensitive Divine Sense power that represents the Foundation of the Soul!

This was practically like throwing ten-thousand-year-old profound ice into the core's lava! If one were not careful, at best their Divine Soul would be wounded and their dao foundation destroyed, and at worst their Sea of Consciousness would explode, causing them to perish on the spot!

The threshold of the Legacy left by Sword Heart True Man was so high that it drove countless geniuses to despair!

Every once in a while, Bi Yao would spread the introductory chapter of Heart Sword Without Trace, like casting a net, hoping to catch a world-startling fish.

Over ten thousand years, there were indeed a handful of peerless Prodigies who, through great perseverance and Opportunity, successfully condensed Heart Sword Power.

But... "No one has ever... been like this kid..." A complex and inexplicable light flashed in Bi Yao's eyes.

Where others needed decades, centuries, or even a lifetime and still might not glimpse the entrance or touch the edge of "Perfection," for Yao Delong... it was as simple as eating or drinking water!

His speed of progress was practically challenging the common sense of cultivation!

"And that Body Refining method..."

Bi Yao's brow furrowed slightly; with her knowledge as a Grandmist Dao Artifact's spirit, having seen the entire history of Azure Cloud, she had never heard of such a domineering and shocking Sacred Body Refining Method! It was as if it were a creation descended from another world!

"Just how many secrets is this kid hiding?"

Just as Bi Yao's thoughts were racing and she was secretly speculating... Boom!!!

Inside the Legacy Space, Yao Delong, who had been silent for nearly half a month, suddenly erupted with an indescribable and terrifying Sword Intent fluctuation!

This Sword Intent was no longer merely sharp and murderous!

It contained an unyielding will! Majestic vitality! And absolute control over the ultimate principles of the Sword Dao!

Buzz—

A phenomenon manifested out of thin air!

The Chaos space trembled violently! The endless Chaos airflow was forcibly pushed aside!

A colossal phantom of a Divine Sword Weapon that reached the heavens was suddenly condensed and manifested!

This phantom was not physical, yet it radiated a terrifying pressure that could slash the heavens and shatter the stars! Its entire body flowed with brilliant Sword Dao runes, as if condensed from countless unyielding wills and life Origins!

At the core of this giant sword phantom, a Will Projection that looked similar to Yao Delong but was more refined and pure could be faintly seen!

Sword Intent Soul Condensation! The Soul is formed!

At this moment, Yao Delong snapped his eyes open! Within his eyes were no longer simple pupils, but two Heart Sword phantoms that constantly flickered as if they could pierce the Soul!

A brand-new, vast sense of power flooded his entire body!

"Now that the Sword Soul is formed..." Yao Delong slowly stood up, feeling the tiny "Sword Soul" in his Sea of Consciousness, which was condensed from his own will and Sword Intent Origin and emitted an immortal radiance; an unprecedentedly powerful self-confidence welled up!

"The Sword Intent finally has a true 'Soul'!"

His fingers gripped the air, and a Heart Sword condensed purely from will, existing between the virtual and the real, instantly appeared in his palm, its blade humming as if it were alive!

"It can exist outside the body for a long time, it can shake the mind, it can destroy Souls, and even... affect reality!"

This Realm is the complete materialization of will! It is the true transformation of the Sword Dao from technique into the Dao!

"The Sword Soul Realm, combined with the Void Sword Condensation ultimate move..." A cold light flashed in Yao Delong's eyes as an Aura that dominated the heavens and earth soared into the sky, "Even against an old monster of the Integration Realm, I would dare to strike them down if they were caught off guard!"
