Legend of Swordsman

Chapter 6354: Starting From This Moment

The Origin!

Let it begin now!

Jian Wushuang burned his soul to the fourth layer.

”Soul Annihilation, Silence!”

This was the peak level of burning Thought Power. Any higher, and it would reach the fifth layer of the burning secret technique.

Although he currently maintained his realm at the Great Perfection, burning the fifth layer of the soul secret technique could not be achieved with just the soul at the Immortal level.

Because the power of burning at the fifth layer was far beyond 100,000-fold or even a million-fold.

Even if he could burn at the Great Perfection level, he would need his original soul, and it would have to surpass his own realm by five levels.

Above Great Perfection, in terms of major realms, the levels were Immortal (Yan Immortal), Great Emperor (Emperor), Universe Master, Universe God, and Spacetime God.

This meant that to burn the fifth layer of the secret technique, he needed to use his original soul in the outside world, and it had to be before his soul was divided into thousands of fragments.

This was simply too defiant of the natural order, and he was currently incapable of doing so. Fortunately, this Special Life Form at the Starry Sky level did not require him to burn to the fifth layer; the fourth layer of Soul Annihilation would be sufficient.

This was also the first time he had burned the fourth layer of Soul Annihilation, as in the outside world, he had never needed to use this level of burning secret technique.

Burning the soul and divine power had their limits.

Previously, he had the power of life to replenish his divine power, allowing him to freely use the secret technique of burning divine power.

Now, with the supplementation of his original soul, he could freely use the secret technique of burning the soul.

These prerequisites all required sufficient strength.

”Burn!”

He gritted his teeth and roared angrily. The original soul within the Nine Prison Pagoda was instantly absorbed entirely, while his Great Perfection clone gained a soul power of up to 180,000-fold.

”This time, it should be enough!” He gazed intently at the Special Life Form of the Starry Sky level.

With a thought, his soul rushed once again into the flesh.

Buzz!

The immense resistance was still there, but it no longer forced him to retreat.

This time, he went all out, passed through layers of obstacles, and completely entered this body.

Power Lock, Soul Lock, Body Lock!

Great Perfection!

Whoosh!

”Transform!”

Jian Wushuang controlled the Starry Sky level body, and it immediately transformed into his own appearance.

However, while controlling the body, the immense pressure it brought made him very uncomfortable.

Moreover, in his mind, an endless stream of oppressive forces kept emerging, as if a Realm Beast was whispering in his ear.

This interference continuously assaulted his will.

Fortunately, his willpower naturally contained the power of the Realm Beast.

Only then could he control this body.

However, the interference and the pressure still prevented him from fully mastering this body.

The life level of this body had already surpassed a million-fold.

”How is this possible? This isnʼt a Starry Sky-level Special Life Form; this is practically comparable to the true form of a Realm Beast!” Jian Wushuang gritted his teeth, his very soul beginning to tremble at that moment.

The eerie thing was that the life level of this body continued to increase.

This brought him even greater pressure.

His true soul had already been completely consumed, turning what was once living water into dead water.

”This is bad!”

Jian Wushuangʼs expression changed. He clenched his fists, no longer burning his soul power, but instead used his willpower to suppress this body.

Even if this was flesh and blood condensed from a Realm Beast, he had to suppress the interference and rejection from it.

”This is definitely a Realm Beastʼs body. That infinitely growing power is terrifying, just like Morosaʼs true form back then!” He felt a wave of fear in his heart.

He vividly remembered the oppressive feeling that came from the Realm Beast.

This was a body that no cultivatorʼs soul power could withstand.

The ninth body was far more terrifying than the previous eight bodies combined.

Moreover, the life level grew with the soul.

This meant that even if Jian Wushuang burned his soul power a million-fold, he still couldnʼt

bear this oppressive force.

”How could something like this exist within the Divine Fire Palace?!”

Jian Wushuang gritted his teeth, deeply puzzled.

The body of a Realm Beast was not just precious; the key point was that in the few disciplined

times when Realm Beasts invaded, very few were actually slain.

He knew of only one instance, where a Realm Beast that could shatter the Realm God

Continent was slain.

And this world should have some connection with the Star Field of the Gods.

The Star Field of the Gods was formed because of the shattered Realm God Continent.

Thinking along these lines, there was some connection.

But that was all. This Realm Beastʼs body, even if it had been obtained by that Star Spirit who slew it back then, could not have ended up in this world, let alone fallen into the hands of a cultivator barely at the level of a Universe God!

Moreover, this body had been refined into a sphere, likely to suppress the uncontrollable

nature of the Realm Beastʼs body.

The being capable of refining such a body could not possibly be a Universe God; at the very least, it would need to be a Time-Space God, or even a Starry Sky God.

He would even believe it if someone said that the Star Spirit had refined it.

”No matter, since Iʼve encountered it, this is my destiny, and I must seize it!” A thought stirred in his heart, and his soul power began to gradually decrease.

After all, he had now entered the Realm Beastʼs body.

Continuously increasing soul power also raised the life level of the body.

It had just surpassed three million-fold.

So, he simply lowered his soul power directly, maintaining it at around 100,000-fold.

The life level of the Realm Beastʼs body also decreased slightly.

But then it rebounded. This time, instead of forcibly suppressing it with soul power, he used

his consciousness to wear it down.

”I refuse to believe I canʼt outlast a Realm Beastʼs body that has been dead for who knows

how many years!”

He immediately sat down cross-legged, putting everything else out of his mind, and began to

wear down the Realm Beast with his consciousness.

The wear and tear on his consciousness was the most painful.

But the ability to grow stronger meant nothing to Jian Wushuang.

”Letʼs see who can outlast the other!” He was extremely confident.

The two consciousnesses clashed continuously, even leading to mutual devouring.

Each side wanted to consume the other.

But within Jian Wushuangʼs willpower lay Morosaʼs willpower.

Morosaʼs strength was among the top in the entire Void Realm.

The original owner of this body might not have been weaker than Morosa, but ultimately,

they had already fallen.

Now, the only thing left in this body was some residual willpower of the Realm Beast.

This willpower had no consciousness, behaving like a mad demon.

Like an old hen protecting her chicks, it would let no one approach.

But Jian Wushuang, like a cunning weasel, used the same willpower to slowly devour the

opponent.

He sat cross-legged for who knows how long, forgetting everything that was happening in

the outside world.

Fortunately, the Divine Fire Palace and the Scarlet Eye Realm were not in the same dimensional plane, so he didnʼt know how the flow of time worked.

If the time flow was faster than outside, the outside world was basically doomed; if it was

slower, then there was still hope.

But none of this hindered his desire to grow stronger.

To protect Jiang Shang, to protect Xiang Yang, and even to save Chen Yuanʼs life.
