71: Third Life: How Am I the Villain? (Chapter 35)

The power of the three blackwater spirit lotuses merged into one, instantly overpowering the destructive force brought by the violent Saber Evil Qi!

That gentle and life-filled power quickly soothed the stinging pain in the Meridians, repaired the tiny cracks on the prototype of the Dao Foundation, and firmly wrapped and saturated it, providing a vast amount of Spiritual Qi and life Origin far exceeding what was there before as support.

The balance between destruction and restoration was pulled back, and it reached a more stable and harmonious state.

The Saber Evil Qi continued to crazily temper and shape, bestowing the Dao Foundation with unparalleled sharpness and sturdy characteristics; while the power of the three blackwater spirit lotuses ensured that this process would not damage the Foundation, and infused it with enduring vitality and resilience, making the condensation of the Dao Foundation more perfect and flawless.

Inside Xu Yuan's Dantian, mysterious runes spontaneously condensed, and a blurry phantom of a Foundation platform slowly emerged.

Soon, that blurry Foundation platform phantom became clear and solid at a speed visible to the naked eye!

The form of the Foundation platform gradually fixed, and the whole body presented a dull black-gold luster.

The surface seemed to be composed of countless extremely fine, layered black saber scales, and every "scale" flashed with a sharp, cold light.

And between the gaps of the saber scales, deep azure water-like brilliance slowly flowed, endless and unceasing.

A wave of incomparably sharp, yet deeply heavy aura, slowly radiated from the formed Dao Foundation!

Ten Thousand Blades Facing the Origin Foundation, complete!

Just at the moment when the Dao Foundation was completely condensed and formed—

Boom!

The Innate Blade Bone inside Xu Yuan's body seemed to be completely ignited, erupting with unprecedented, brilliant divine light!

An ancient Saber Intent originating from the deepest part of his Bloodline, mixed with the newly generated power of the Dao Foundation, shot straight into the sky without reservation!

The layers of Restrictions of the Daozi Hall simply could not completely isolate this power.

"Clang!" "Clang!" "Clang—!"

In an instant, inside the entire Overlord Blade Sect, ten thousand sabers resonated again!

Its momentum was far more vast and majestic than the previous time!

Countless Saber Cultivators looked up at the sky in shock, only to see that above the Daozi Hall, Spiritual Qi and Saber Intent were crazily gathering, vaguely condensing into an incomparably huge vision of a dark gold saber-shaped Foundation base, surrounded and guarded by countless saber weapon phantoms!

An aura of Saber Dao that was awe-inspiring and inviolable, yet made all Saber Cultivators yearn for it, enveloped the entire Sect!

"A Dao Foundation vision! It is our Sect's Ten Thousand Blades Facing the Origin Foundation!!" An Elder said, his beard trembling with excitement.

"Ten Thousand Blades Facing the Origin! It really is Ten Thousand Blades Facing the Origin! Heaven blesses our Overlord Blade Sect!"

Sect Master Qin Zhantian stood outside the Daozi Hall, feeling the vast Saber Intent that only existed in the Sect's records, and a gratified smile appeared on his face.

And the smile on the face of Chen Ping, who was also standing outside the Daozi Hall, was much more unrestrained.

Is Ten Thousand Blades Facing the Origin strong?

That's my son!

In the quiet room, Xu Yuan seemed unaware of the shocking vision outside.

All his focus was immersed in the transformation within his body.

The Ten Thousand Blades Facing the Origin Foundation had already completely condensed and was incomparably stable.

And at this moment when the Dao Foundation was formed, deep within his Sea of Consciousness, the technique of the Legacy Cultivation Technique originating from the Innate Blade Bone—Heavenly Tribulation Blade, actually began to operate autonomously, and started to absorb and refine the pure Saber Evil Qi permeating around him!

The originally magnificent and righteous Concept of the Heavenly Tribulation Blade, which acted on behalf of Heaven to punish, quietly underwent a transformation after merging with this fierce and domineering Saber Evil Qi.

As the Cultivation Technique operated, it lost a bit of the ethereal majesty of the Heavenly Dao, but gained a bit of the cruelty and Evil Qi of warfare and slaughter!

It seemed as if it was no longer a tribulation punishment sent down by the Heavenly Dao, but had transformed into a blood-stained butcher's knife in the hands of the Heavenly Dao!

When the blade is drawn, it not only triggers the Heavenly Tribulation, but also brings its own supreme Evil Tribulation, destroying Divine Souls and slaughtering all living beings!

Xu Yuan had a realization in his heart.

"From now on, this Cultivation Technique shall be named—Heavenly Blade Calamity!"

He slowly opened his eyes, and deep within his pupils, it seemed as if endless blade light flickered, and the aura of the Tribulation Evil flashed and disappeared.

Foundation Establishment Stage, complete!

Xu Yuan carefully experienced the brand new power surging within his body, his fingertips moved slightly, and a wisp of dark gold Saber Qi, condensed like substance, spontaneously lingered, emitting a heart-palpitating sharpness.

He had a strong premonition that if he were to face the Foundation Establishment Stage Mystic Ice Evil Toad again now, he would not need to rely on the power of others to form an array; relying solely on his own newly stabilized Early Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation and the Ten Thousand Blades Facing the Origin Foundation, he had absolute confidence in killing it head-on!

"So this is the power of a High Grade flawless Dao Foundation... It is indeed far from comparable to that incomplete Dao Foundation of my past life."

Xu Yuan sighed in his heart, then restrained his aura and stood up.

The Restrictions of the quiet room opened layer by layer, he took a step out, and his figure had already appeared outside the Daozi Hall.

Outside the hall, Sect Master Qin Zhantian and his father Chen Ping had already been waiting there.

Seeing Xu Yuan come out and feeling the completely stable, deep, and sharp Foundation Establishment aura on his body, both of them wore gratified smiles on their faces.

"Good! Very good! Yuan'er, you really succeeded! Ten Thousand Blades Facing the Origin Foundation, our Overlord Blade Sect has not had a Disciple successfully condense it for nearly a hundred years!"

Qin Zhantian laughed and stepped forward, forcefully patting Xu Yuan on the shoulder, his eyes full of gratification.

Chen Ping just nodded heavily, everything unspoken: "Good lad!"

"Thank you, Revered Master, Father, for protecting me." Xu Yuan bowed and saluted, his tone respectful.

"This is my duty as your Revered Master." Qin Zhantian waved his hand, still looking at Xu Yuan, more and more satisfied the more he looked.

Xu Yuan straightened up, flipped his wrist, and the remaining three blackwater spirit lotuses, emitting a rich aura of water spirits, appeared in his hand.

"Revered Master, Disciple's Foundation Establishment consumed three blackwater spirit lotuses and those Saber Evil Qi crystals; now there are these three spirit lotuses remaining."

Xu Yuan handed over the spirit lotuses, his tone calm.

"These items are of no great use to Disciple anymore, and keeping them is a waste. Please, Revered Master, store them in the Sect treasury for Disciples with merit or outstanding talent to exchange and use; it can be considered making the best use of everything."

Hearing this, the look of appreciation in Qin Zhantian's eyes grew stronger.

The Black Water Spirit Lotus is a supreme treasure for Foundation Establishment and is worth a fortune, yet Xu Yuan was able to take it out without any attachment; his Heart-Nature can be seen from this.

He took the spirit lotuses and nodded: "Good! The Sect will not treat you unfairly and will grant you corresponding contribution points."

Xu Yuan smiled slightly and continued: "Additionally, Disciple promised the fellow Senior Brothers who went through life and death together in the Secret Realm that for all Disciples who participated in this Secret Realm trip and returned alive, if they need to exchange for this spirit lotus, they can enjoy an 80% discount and priority exchange rights. Please also arrange this matter, Revered Master."

Hearing these words, not only Qin Zhantian, but even Chen Ping, who was on the side, nodded secretly.

This action can fulfill the promise, win over hearts, and encourage Sect Disciples; it can be called killing two birds with one stone.

"Hahaha! Good! All as you say! Yuan'er, not only has your cultivation greatly advanced, but your handling of affairs is also comprehensive and mature; I am very gratified!"

Qin Zhantian stroked his beard and laughed, in an excellent mood.

However, just as his laughter had not yet faded, Qin Zhantian's expression suddenly sank, he turned his head sharply to look at a certain place, the majestic Foundation Establishment Perfection pressure around his body erupted instantly, like an unsheathed sharp blade, and he shouted sternly:

"Who?! Hiding your head and showing your tail, get out here!"
