62: Demonic thoughts surge, the land of sword intent

“What in the world is going on? Is my sword a Saint Sword? Have I been treating a treasure like scrap metal all this time?” A Sword Cultivator was confused, as typically only Saint Swords or higher would develop sentience and fly independently.

“What are you doing? Sword, come back! I can apologize if I did anything wrong, just don’t run away!”

“Ah! My sword.”

“Holy crap! So many swords.”

There were already a great many Sword Cultivators here, and at this moment, over ten thousand swords flew into the sky.

All the swords that flew into the sky tilted their hilts slightly towards Ji Yi, expressing their submission to the Sword Dao Supreme.

“Sword of Dawn.” Ji Yi thrust his sword forward, and a milky-white Sword Qi shot out. The sword shadows that had manifested in the Void Realm at this moment converged into this milky-white Sword Qi like Dragons returning to the sea.

The milky-white light grew brighter. In the land shrouded by Demon Intent, the sky was originally dim.

However, countless milky-white lights pierced through the sky, bringing light to this dim world.

When the milky-white light shone on the Cultivators, they felt a warm power; their bodies and minds seemed to have found salvation, and their hearts were filled with hope.

But when this light shone on the Demons, black mist continuously evaporated from their bodies, and their forms became increasingly faint.

The milky-white Sword Qi and the Claw of Rupture collided under the gaze of all, a war between light and darkness. Good triumphs over evil. Under the might of the milky-white Sword Qi, the Claw of Rupture melted inch by inch, turning into nothingness.

The milky-white Sword Qi advanced relentlessly. To the Demons, the light-emitting Sword Qi was a Sword of Demise.

He continuously clawed out with both hands, unleashing Profound Truth giant claws, attempting to halt the Sword Qi’s advance.

However, this sword strike by Ji Yi, which utilized the Sword Dao Supreme’s phenomenon, had a power comparable to a Profound Truth Divine Ability cast by a mid-level Half-Step Great Power.

The Demon was merely an ordinary Half-Step Great Power, and the gap between him and the current Ji Yi was simply too vast.

The milky-white Sword Qi rode the wind and shattered the claws. In the Demon’s disbelieving gaze, it pierced his glabella, causing him to vanish from the world.

“This... so strong, how could he be so strong?”

“Damn it, he must be cheating.”

“Motherfucker, he definitely concealed his Realm, otherwise I’ll pee upside down.”

The spectators were deeply shocked by Ji Yi’s strength. This level of power was undoubtedly that of a young Supreme.

“My sword!” Those Sword Cultivators immediately rushed into the sky to retrieve their swords.

“Damn it, these Demons are crazy, run!”

“So many Demons.”

From the land shrouded in Demon Intent, roars echoed, attracting everyone’s attention.

They saw dense crowds of Cultivators flying outwards, followed by groups of Demons.

Ji Yi also noticed that something was wrong. He grabbed Ji Ziyan and flew outwards. Walking in step by step was for safety, but escaping outwards meant flying as fast as possible.

All the Cultivators were fleeing. Waves of intense fluctuations came from behind, and the Qi of Saints pressed down on everyone; Saints were engaging in battle.

Fortunately, Ji Yi and his group were only on the periphery. At Ji Yi’s current speed, a distance of ten li could be covered in ten breaths. Ye Qingrou and Wang Fatty also escaped.

Looking back, many Cultivators were fighting the Demons. After all, Cultivators who had delved deeper into the area could not escape as quickly and were intercepted by the Demons.

However, the Cultivators who had gone deeper all had some tricks up their sleeves. With mutual support, everyone managed to escape. As long as they ran out of the area shrouded in Demon Intent, these Demons would not pursue them.

Everyone’s minds were a bit chaotic at the moment. They had never heard of Demons rioting on such a large scale in the Sword Graveyard. What was going on now? Was it that time of the month? But Demons had no gender!

Looking at the tens of thousands of Demons gathered densely at the border of the Demon Intent-shrouded area, everyone felt a chill in their hearts.

These Demons, if you killed one, another would be born, maintaining the overall number. So, it was pointless to contend with them.

“Given this unclear situation, let’s go to the Sword Intent Valley first,” Ji Yi suggested. The three nodded. Although Ji Ziyan did not primarily Cultivate the Sword Dao, she had some involvement in it.

Not only Ji Yi and his three companions, but other Cultivators who practiced the Sword Dao also headed towards the Sword Intent Valley.

The Sword Intent Valley was less dangerous than the Demon Intent Basin. There was only pure Sword Intent there. As long as one did not force their way in, there would be no problems.

Similarly, when they were still a hundred li from the valley, they began to sense the omnipresent Sword Intent.

Initially, the Sword Intent was not strong, and everyone’s Divine Soul only felt a slight sharpness, like being touched by countless toothpicks.

The deeper they went, the stronger the sharpness their Divine Soul felt. After walking one li, their Divine Soul felt like being pricked by countless toothpicks, and after three li, their Divine Soul felt a stinging sensation.

After all, the Sword Dao’s characteristics were sharpness, penetration, a single sword breaking all Laws, and a single sword piercing the Nine Heavens.

Before the Nascent Soul Realm, the unique aspects of each Dao were not yet obvious. At most, it was just that you used a sword and I used a saber; it just looked like different weapons.

But upon reaching the Nascent Soul Realm and condensing a Primordial Spirit, Cultivators would begin to comprehend Profound Truths. Sword Cultivators would comprehend Sword Dao Profound Truths, saber Cultivators would comprehend Saber Dao Profound Truths, and martial Cultivators would comprehend Martial Dao Profound Truths.

The Cultivation Realm of Divine Abilities is divided into four stages in the first Realm: Initial Glimpse, Entering the Hall, Reaching the Peak, and Masterful.

The second Realm consists of Awakening Spirit, Spirit Wisdom, and Lifelike.

The third Realm is the Profound Truth Realm. Lifelike is merely vivid; only by integrating Law Profound Truths can a Divine Ability transcend its own limitations and possess infinite possibilities.

Ji Yi felt the omnipresent Sword Intent, boundless and vast, like seeing a Universe of Swords.

Sharpness, penetration, extreme speed, Law-breaking... The Sword Dao of this Sword Dao expert encompassed myriad things, but these different Sword Dao paths were firmly coordinated by a force. Ji Yi wanted to sense that force, but he was too far from the Sword Intent Valley, and his perception was very blurry.

Continuing to advance, all four of them were Prodigies, so they naturally would not be stopped after three or four li.

At five, six, seven li, Wang Fatty’s steps had already become very slow. He felt his Divine Soul being subjected to a thousand cuts, and if his Divine Soul hadn’t been strong, he would have fainted long ago.

He gestured for Ji Yi and the other two to go first. Before they had even gone one li further, Ye Qingrou also began to slow down, a painful expression on her face.

At eight li, Ji Yi also felt his Divine Soul being cut by sharp swords.

Not having comprehended Profound Truths, they relied solely on their strong Divine Souls to withstand the erosion of this Sword Intent.

Experiencing the power of this Sword Intent with their Divine Soul was of great help to comprehending Sword Dao Profound Truths. The reason Ji Yi and the others all walked until their Divine Soul reached its limit before stopping was because the deeper the feeling, the easier it was to comprehend Profound Truths.
