Chapter 408: Initial Completion of Natal Sword
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
BOOM!
Zhou Bao only felt like his divine thoughts ran into a solid wall. The purple spirit almost bounced off it. But at this exact moment, something strange happened. Glimmers of purple light shining in the divine thoughts turned into numerous purple thunder filaments and twined around the talisman formation.
The light on the formation flashed several times, but the lightning filament. At this point in time, Zhou Bao sensed the formation seem to have changed into a strange lid. By lifting up the lid gently, he could open the formation to find the real secrets of the red gourd. On the other hand, he felt a strong sense of threat, as if he would face a great danger once he lifts up the cover.Killing intent!
The killing intent was scary. It was faint but managed to penetrate into Zhou Bao’s bones marrow. It gushed from the talisman formation. In the beginning, it was light, but as time passed by, and as the time that the formation suppressed by Zhou Bao’s purple spirit increased, the killing intent gradually began to boil, as if it had already found an exit.
The talisman formation was still a lid, but the lid now seemed to be unable to suppress the boiling water below.
“Hiss!” Zhou Bao inhaled a cold breath and tint of cold, killing intent was mixed in it. The killing intent impaled his purple divine thoughts directly. The divine thoughts bounced suddenly and countless purple thunder filament vanished into thin air. Subsequently, the divine thoughts bounced back between Zhou Bao’s eyebrows.
Without the suppression by the purple divine thoughts, the talisman formation seemed to return to normal. Its pale light flashing again, concealing all the murderous intent.
“What horrible killing intent!” Zhou Bao shivered with his eyes closed. While the tinge of killing intent did not destroy Zhou Bao’s divine thoughts, it was brought back by his divine thoughts, and it triggered his spirit directly.
Zhou Bao hadn’t felt such strong killing intent before, not even in the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword. In that instant, he seemed to have entered a cold world of killing intent. There was no heat nor emotion. Nothing but the chilly killing intent.As if falling into a nightmare, Zhou Bao could not get away from this cold world. Though he was clear of what he wanted to do, he was unable to move at all, as if he was tied up by an impalpable rope.
He wanted to activate his Internal Qi and Real Essence but he could not feel anything. It was as if he returned to his previous life, to the body of the ordinary Wang Bo.
“Am I dead? Or alive!” Besides the initial bewilderment, Zhou Bao quickly calmed himself down and began to feel his killing intent.
An unknown amount of time passed before the shivering body moved violently. As his mouth opened, a black and red Sword Qi spurted out and floated in mid-air before him. Afterwards, the red light between his eyebrows suddenly flashed and a streak of black light was quickly discharged, aiming at the Sword Qi.
Slowly, Zhou Bao opened his eyes. His body was already soaked with sweat. It was not until he sensed his surroundings moving that he realized nine Fire Dragons were hovering around him. In his body, the extremely dense Real Essence was thumping around. The Nine Heaven Yuan Yang Technique was fully activated and the Nine Heavens Primordial Yang Instrument was condensed. Even the Jade Original Power Gang Spirit also appeared around him. How could his small secret room withstand such torment? If not for the surrounding formation, it would have already collapsed. The formation was now in peril and it might crash any time from the impact of his strong power.
“Hoo, why is this strange thing happening!” Zhou Bao let out a long breath to stabilize the disorganized and messy Real Essence in his body. Then he withdrew the disorderly Gang Qi into his body. That took him almost 2 hours. With everything arranged, he then paid his attention to the Sword Qi of the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword that was still suspending before him.
Just now, at the most dangerous time, he mobilized Sword Qi of Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword. It was the most appropriate thing that he had done. His Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword had already evolved into a tinge of killing intent in the Primordial Origin, exactly compatible with the killing intent that escaped from the gourd. The two encountered each other and rushed out of Zhou Bao’s body desperately to integrate.
Though the black and red Sword Qi that from Zhou Bao seemed to be faint, they were all the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword Qi he practiced for all these years.
After the body’s recuperation, Zhou Bao began to focus on evolving Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword Qi. Initially, his practice of the sword Qi was not up to standard. He also did not fully understand the true meaning of killing intent, homicidal intent, and murderous intent. Hence, he could only use a bit of the power of Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword. Later on, he figured out that the infusion of Sword Qi with his murderous intent and killing intent were very powerful, although not up to the invincible level.
But now, after stealing a tinge of congenital murderous intent from the red gourd to integrate with his sword Qi, Zhou Bao felt the wonderful power of the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword.
But now, the word ‘wonderful’ was not enough to describe its power. This unique oppressive killing intent exuded from the Sword Qi was the most important.
“It seems somewhat incomplete!” Looking at the faint integrated black and red Sword Qi, Zhou Bao felt its lack. Raising his hand, he summoned the wisp of Sword Qi into his palm. However, he saw that the black and red spirit surged and raged to engulf and melt all the murderous intent.
After a long time, the disorderly surge and rage of black and red sword Qi gradually became orderly. Small talismans gathered and condensed. Eventually, the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword Qi actually began to take shape.
The Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword was refined by two extreme Evil Qi — Ying and Yang. It then evolved into a unique sword Qi. However, the growth of the killing intent not only needed time, but also the savvy of practitioners. At the end of the day, Zhou Bao was not a homicidal maniac, so he did not have enough killing intent. In a sense, he was just a lucky ordinary person. Therefore, it was not advantageous for him to practice this special technique that focused on killing. Honestly speaking, it would be a complete waste of the sword. Though he comprehended something recently, it was still impossible for him to reach the Advanced Level.
Nevertheless, the conditions have changed. The wisp of congenital killing intent exuded from the gourd was exactly compatible with Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword. The integration and evolvement of the two, unexpectedly pushed the power of this special technique to its limit. This invisible and shapeless Sword Qi evolved accordingly into a visible and defined Natal Sword!
Natal Sword!
Unlike sword essence, the Internal Qi of sword practitioners in the medieval period could turn into Real Essence after their practice reached an advanced level. They were collectively called sword essence. Therefore, the so-called sword essence was actually the same concept as the Real Essence, but Natal Sword was totally different. Natal Sword was formed by condensing one’s sword essence and then accumulating it to a certain level so that it undergoes qualitative changes. From then it will evolve into a matter. It was similar to the qualitative change one undergoes after a breakthrough from Level Nine to Mysterious Realm. The power of Natal Sword was more than a hundred times stronger than the sword essence.
Among sword practitioners in the medieval period, there were few people who practiced a Natal Sword, all of whom were earthshaking outstanding experts.
Once the Natal Sword was made, the color of earth and heaven would change.
Only the one who had practiced the sword had the right to talk about the so-called Supreme Swordplay.
Natal Sword was just the beginning of the Supreme Swordplay.
Though the Natal Sword was powerful, there were various levels of strength. Different practice would incur different powers. The stronger the Sword Qi used for practice, the more difficult it would be to condense it into a Natal Sword. For example, Zhou Bao’s Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword itself was the most culminant special technique of swordsmanship with ghastly killing intent. It was about right for him to comprehend a tinge of killing intent. If he wanted to practice Natal Sword with his own power, he could forget about it.
But today, with the help of the congenital killing intent from the red gourd, the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword inexplicably evolved into a Natal Sword. Though it was only at the basic level, its potential threat was a little too overwhelming for Zhou Bao.
“Heh heh, Natal Sword, Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword’s Natal Sword. This is unexpected!” Zhou Bao looked at the transparent tiny sword suspended before him. It was cold and only 3.9 inches long, and shaped like an ordinary dagger. Wrapped by layers of murderous intent, the sword was like a fierce beast who would swallow people as it liked.
The corners of Zhou Bao’s eyes twitched, and so did the corners of his mouth.
This Natal Sword belonged to him. He knew, he understood, and was also aware, that he could control it with his mind as he liked. But the problem was that he dared not store it in his body.
“Can my body withstand it?” Though he had absorbed the remains of Innate Deity, Zhou Bao was still unsure of the abilities of his body. When the killing intent of the Natal Sword was hidden and not released, ordinary people would feel nothing. However, the hairs on Zhou Bao’s body were already standing, as if his body was resisting the sword.
The Sword Qi was ghastly and the killing intent was surging. Just when Zhou Bao was contemplating whether or not to store the Natal Sword in his body, there were some changes happening to the sword. It gradually became crystal-like, and a faint red light started flashed across the sword before it turned into a ruby masterpiece.
The killing intent surged for a while before it was completely hidden, leaving the pale ruby sword suspending in the air. There was no more killing intent. Zhou Bao felt relaxed all over his body and a tinge of tiny intimacy was released from the Natal Sword.
Intimacy?
Naturally, this sword belonged to him, but if you wanted him to store it in his body, that would be a different story.
“External Elixir of the Fiery Eyes, let me try to put it away with External Elixir of the Fiery Eyes!”
After thinking about it for quite a while, Zhou Bao made his decision. His Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword Qi was stored in External Elixir of Fiery Eyes. When the Natal Sword was formed, the intimacy was first produced by his External Elixir of Fiery Eyes. However, he was still hesitant because he was not sure whether it could bear the pneuma of Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword, even though the elixir was marvelous and Fiery Eyes was known as Eternal Eyes.
But now, it was not suitable to leave the Natal Sword outside!
“I can’t be carrying this with me wherever I go in the future right? Who am I trying to scare?”
“Now that the Fiery Eyes was known as Eternal Eyes, and the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword Qi has always been carefully nourished inside, maybe the Natal Sword will not hurt my External Elixir.” Zhou Bao thought. Red light flashed between his eyebrows and a wisp of thin red light was ejected, aiming at the transparent Natal Sword.
BOOM! Endless killing intent gushed out.
