Legend of Swordsman

These were actions he would only take under the condition of absolute certainty.

If it involved someone he cared about, he might take a risk, even to the point of risking his life to save them.

However, all of this had a prerequisite-his growth rate could not be compromised.

More importantly, this Realm Beast’s body was of immense help to his true self in the outside world. It could very well be the key step to passing his divine Tribulation.

Because he needed to walk a different path, he had to forget everything else.

The two intertwined wills seemed to be vying for control over this body.

At times, they attacked each other; at other times, they devoured one another.

Jian Wushuang’s soul power couldn’t suppress the other side, but his willpower remained dominant, continuously eroding the will of the Realm Beast.

He didn’t know how long it lasted, but after a prolonged struggle, he finally managed to completely suppress the other side.

The Realm Beast’s own will had been driven into a corner, shivering in fear.

”It worked!”

He felt a surge of joy in his heart.

His will had completely suppressed the will of the Realm Beast’s body, which meant he would no longer be disturbed.

The only downside was that he couldn’t fully control the body yet, which was part of the test he needed to pass.

The purpose of entering the Qishen Temple was to obtain the Divine Eye inheritance.

Yet, in this very first trial, he encountered the Realm Beast’s body.

What else awaited him afterward?

With this thought in mind, he didn’t rush to the second trial. Instead, he fully familiarized himself with this body.

Suppressing the will didn’t mean it was entirely eradicated.

If he encountered danger and his willpower waned, the other side might retaliate.

Jian Wushuang didn’t want to plant a hidden threat in his own mind.

So, after suppressing the other side, he began to fully engage, simultaneously comprehending the life structure of the body while also imprinting his soul.

He prepared to completely take over this body.

Originally, this was a treasure used to test the inheritor, but now he intended to forcibly take it away.

This was much easier than seizing it from the Realm Beast’s will.

Once the soul recognized him as its master and the body and soul merged perfectly, who could take this body away?

He was slightly concerned-would his body and willpower become those of the Realm Beast, and would he be surrounded by Star Spirits once he left?

But then he thought, his soul was still primarily human, and the Star Spirits were not fools; they would surely be able to tell.

He then devoted himself fully to controlling this body.

At the same time, he continued to eradicate the last vestiges of resistance in the body’s will.

As he devoured the other side’s willpower, the speed at which he took control also accelerated significantly.

The level of life he was comprehending brought him great joy.

Because the Realm Beast’s level of life was extremely high, it reached the upper limits of the Starry Sky.

After all, living in the limitless void, no one knew how much a Realm Beast could grow. Just the life level of this body alone, which Jian Wushuang maintained at about a million times, was enough for him to comprehend its life structure. He discovered that the Realm Beast’s body could become formless and colorless, allowing it to maintain the highest absorption state for any gathered power.

The most heaven-defying ability, however, was that this body could isolate Spacetime.

In other words, the Realm Beast could create its own Spacetime.

It could devour Spacetime, even the Starry Sky itself.

”Unfortunately, I was born in the Starry Sky!” Jian Wushuang lamented, shaking his head. He quickly dismissed the thought.

If he were to devour the Starry Sky, wouldn’t he be slapped to death?

The 12 Star Spirits were no joke.

There were many powerful Star Gods and Spacetime Gods within the Starry Sky.

Even at his peak, he was merely a Ninth Tribulation Universe God.

He dared not attempt to devour the Starry Sky.

Of course, besides this heaven-defying danger, there were benefits as well.

He discovered that the life level of the Realm Beast could only be suppressed to about a million-fold at the lowest.

Fortunately, the physical body of the Realm Beast wasn’t reliant on soul power, but the threshold to enter the body required soul power.

Controlling and manipulating it required immense willpower.

This was because the Realm Beast was a natural-born destroyer.

It could destroy everything in existence and was also capable of creating divine beings.

The lower limit was a million times that of the human race, while the upper limit was infinite. His thought power allowed him to control the body at will.

He punched!

The punch hit the air, and there was no fluctuation in the life level.

But when he used a technique and aimed at the void, the life level instantly soared to ten

million times.

This startled Jian Wushuang, who quickly steadied himself.

”That’s terrifying. I can’t probe any further. I must first completely take control of this body!”

That strike just now directly increased the willpower of the Realm Beast by tenfold, instantly overpowering his own willpower.

Willpower was something that increased with the level of the physical body.

However, from this, he also realized that the physical body of the Realm Beast could freely

exhibit levels beyond its limits.

This was the biggest surprise.

With such a high life level, once he returned, whether he pursued the path of divine power or swordsmanship, it would assist him in reaching the true pinnacle.

”Once I return and regain my original divine power, and merge it once again with this body, even if I haven’t crossed the Divine Tribulation, I won’t fear those Spacetime Gods!”

He felt an immense surge of confidence at this moment, never imagining that one day his physical body would advance so greatly.

Back when he tempered his body in the Magic Sound Mountain, he thought of his body as a

bottle.

Divine power was the water.

That was a self-imposed limitation; the bottle had its limits.

Perhaps his physical body could merge with the divine body to break through those limits, but

the body born within the Starry Sky was already restricted.

However, the physical body of the Realm Beast had no such limitations.

If expanded upon, the Realm Beast was a naturally born life form from the Void, while the

beings of the Starry Sky were all postnatal life forms.

”With this body, what I need to break through is not just the cultivation system!”

He clenched his fist slightly, feeling the power emanating from his body. This newfound confidence made him feel that transcending the Starry Sky would not be a problem in the

future.

Both his physical body and soul now had the foundation to transcend.

His soul had advanced because he devoured Morosa, and the gains from that were similar to

what he gained now.

Yet, in the Realm God Continent, he had a battle power surpassing even his peak.

And in this small world of the Crimson Eye Realm, he managed to obtain such heaven-defying opportunities. It was unbelievable, almost like a dream.

And this was just the first trial.

Once he fully mastered the Realm Beast’s physical body and merged his soul and life into one,

he would prepare to leave here and seek the second lamp.

But just as he was about to leave, a powerful force of restriction suddenly descended.

”Huh?” Jian Wushuang was momentarily stunned but then began to struggle free.

The corners of his mouth curled up in a cold smile as he thought, ”A small restriction left by a

mere Universe Master, and it wants to restrain me?”

Despite his current state being maintained at the peak of the Great Ascension, with his formidable willpower and physical strength, this restriction left by a Universe Master

couldn’t hold him.

With just a slight exertion, he easily broke through the restriction.

The first lamp instantly extinguished.

The entire hall began to tremble, as if the sky was about to collapse.
