The sword was one meter long, two fingers wide, and half a finger thick. It was completely silver-white, and there seemed to be a layer of illusory light on the sword. It flowed endlessly like autumn water.
The sword seemed to be solid, as if it was made of some strange divine metal. It radiated an extremely shocking sharpness.
Chen Zong reached out, and the sword flew into his hand as if it was weightless.
He swung the sword casually, and it silently left a faint mark in the void.
The strength of the void of the universe was many times stronger than that of the Tianyuan Sacred Realm. Even a full-power attack from a Supreme Saint would not be able to do anything to the void of the universe.
However, Chen Zong could feel that when he held the sword, the sharpness was extremely shocking.
This sword was condensed and forged from the Heart Sword Dao Intent.
This change was completely out of Chen Zong's expectations. He did not expect that after refining the Heart Sword Will to full power, the three inches of divine light would fuse and condense into a solid form.
He flicked his finger, and the sword trembled slightly. The sword hummed melodiously, and an invisible sound spread out like ripples, quietly spreading in the void.
"The hardness of this sword is not inferior to the Sunken Night Sword, or even better," Chen Zong thought to himself.
The Sunken Night Sword was a top ninth-grade saint weapon. The sword condensed from the Heart Sword Will was not inferior to the Sunken Night Sword, or even better. It was very shocking.
Chen Zong put his sword finger on the sword edge. With a light touch, he felt a shocking sharpness that seemed to be able to tear through everything.
This sharpness was already better than the Sunken Night Sword.
It just so happened that the Sunken Night Sword had been shattered by the Purgatory Ghost King, and he needed a new sword.
Compared to the Sunken Night Sword, this sword was something that he had comprehended and cultivated. It was a sword that truly belonged to him, and was closely related to him. It was not as simple as being connected by blood.
Instead, it was completely connected to his mind.
In the next moment, the Heart Sword Will in his hand turned into an illusory shadow. It entered between his eyebrows and appeared in his Spirit Sea. Traces of invisible power spread out, suppressing his Spirit Sea.
Chen Zong felt that his Spirit Ocean had become much more stable in an instant. It had more than doubled in strength.
Unfortunately, the fused Dao Insights of the Yin Yang Dao Insights and wind, fire, and lightning were still at the level of 70% and 40% strength. Without a secret technique like the sharpening of the three tribulations, it was utterly impossible for him to rely on external forces to improve it in a short period of time, and he could only slowly comprehend and cultivate it himself.
The Dao Will of the Heart Sword reaching 100% perfection was the limit. However, Chen Zong hadn't reached the limit of its potential and application of power. This required time and effort.
After Chen Xiu entered the space between his eyebrows, Chen Zong rapidly descended back to the Asura's Gate and went into seclusion.
During his closed door cultivation this time, he naturally intended to properly comprehend and improve the Heart Sword Dao Insight and utilize it as a breakthrough point to create the seventh level of the Taichu Sword Origin Technique.
His previous accumulation was already sufficient. Now, with 100% of the Dao Will of the Heart Sword, he was able to break through the final shackles.
The Taichu Sword Origin Technique surged, emanating a shocking sharpness. A sword shadow also appeared behind Chen Zong. The sword shadow was illusory at first, but as the Taichu Sword Origin Technique circulated, it quickly condensed and became more and more solid, radiating a shocking sharpness.
The seventh level of the Taichu Sword Origin Technique!
The seventh level's power was even stronger than the sixth level.
As a result, Chen Zong's battle prowess also increased significantly.
"I wonder what level my battle prowess has reached now?" Chen Zong thought to himself.
In an instant, the seventh level of the Taichu Sword Origin Technique circulated, and the Dao Will of the Heart Sword was activated. The battle stars instantly shone with golden light, extremely dazzling and radiating a shocking aura.
Strands of golden light spread out from the golden battle stars, quickly connecting with the other battle stars.
The nine battle stars drew close to each other, forming the shape of a circle as if they were about to merge into one.
Then, the golden light became even more intense. It looked as if the nine battle stars had disappeared, replaced by a golden sun.
The sun shone brightly, its light dazzling, and its aura extremely powerful.
This change made Chen Zong feel astonished.
The battle stars had disappeared, and they had merged into a golden sun. What level was this?
Nine stars?
It didn't seem like it.
Then what level had his current battle prowess reached?
How big was the gap between him and the Ghost King?
He didn't know. Without personally experiencing it, Chen Zong couldn't make an accurate estimate.
In the Eternal Battle Fort, there didn't seem to be any records of this in the records he'd read. Perhaps it did exist, but the records he'd read just so happened to not have it.
When he entered the Eternal Battle Fort next time, he could read more records and perhaps answer his questions.
"Condensing the Flower of Extremity requires one's Essence, Vitality, and Spirit to be truly excavated to the extreme. I haven't reached that limit yet," Chen Zong thought to himself.
Everyone's limit was different. The higher the limit, the more powerful the Flower of Extremity condensed in the end.
Therefore, there was a difference in strength between the peak of the Demigod level.
Condensing one Flower of Extremity was usually not as powerful as condensing two. Of course, this was also related to the size of the Flower of Extremity.
In short, the peak of the Demigod Realm was a very complicated level.
Although he hadn't condensed the Flower of Extremity yet, Chen Zong still wanted to fight the Ghost King if he encountered him again.
Compared to before, his current strength had increased by a lot.
"I can rely on the Ghost Clan's Origin Essence to improve my Body Refining Cultivation."
Chen Zong's heart stirred. He planned to leave and hunt the Ghost Clan to obtain the Origin Essence.
It was too difficult to improve one's Body Refining Cultivation. It would either take a long time or have sufficient resources.
Compared to the Ghost Clan's Origin Essence, the Bewildering Light Sea Beast's Origin Essence was slightly inferior.
Chen Zong immediately set out with a new Ninth Grade Saint Artifact longsword. As for Chen Xiu, he remained in the Shura Gate. Firstly, he cultivated, and secondly, he guarded the Shura Gate to prevent any accidents from happening.
The reason why he brought the longsword was because the Heart Sword Dao Intent could be condensed or turned into void.
When it was condensed, it could be used as a sword. When it turned into void, it could be integrated into the longsword to increase its hardness, toughness, and sharpness. In short, it could increase its power.
To a certain extent, it could be considered Chen Zong's trump card.
It was a pity that he couldn't find a Demigod longsword. Otherwise, if he could wield a Demigod longsword, the increase in his battle strength would be even more obvious.
Many inheritances in the Tianyuan Sacred Region had been cut off. As a result, Demigod Artifacts could no longer be forged. There were very few left.
Apart from Chen Xiu, no one else knew that Jiandi Chen Zong had disappeared.
This was because Chen Zong had directly returned to the Bewildering Light Island and entered the territory of Tai Luo City from there. Everyone else thought that Chen Zong was in seclusion.
The territory of Tai Luo City was very close to the Bewildering Light Island. If Chen Zong wanted to leave the territory of Tai Luo City, he could leave in an instant. Even the Ghost King wouldn't be able to stop him.
Since he had such a thing to rely on, he had nothing to fear.
Holding the sword in his left hand, Chen Zong used the Yin Yang Seamless Movement Technique and silently headed in the direction of the Ghost City.
After the nine battle stars had merged into a golden sun, Chen Zong didn't know how much his battle strength had increased.
However, breaking through from the sixth level to the seventh level of the Genesis Sword Technique had increased his battle strength by more than a few folds. His Heart Sword Dao Will had increased from seventy percent to one hundred percent. His battle strength had also increased greatly.
The improvement brought about by the dual breakthrough of the technique and Dao Will wasn't as simple as one plus one equals two.
Moreover, the power of the Sword Intent Current had also increased.
In short, the current him was definitely several times stronger than before.
He was eager to try!
That was what Chen Zong felt in his heart.
If it weren't for his strong will that allowed him to control the feeling brought about by the sudden increase in battle strength, he would have courted death long ago.
During this period of time, the Ghost Race didn't move again, but their patrols didn't stop.
Kill, kill, kill!
Chen Zong killed all the Ghost Race members he saw, turning them into origin essence that was absorbed by Chen Zong to increase his body-refining cultivation.
After a while, the fourth battle star finally turned golden. Chen Zong could feel his body becoming even stronger.
He continued to hunt.
The fifth body-refining battle star also appeared. It was a black iron color, and Chen Zongneng could hear the sounds of his bones and muscles becoming increasingly dense and tyrannical.
He'd reached the five-star level just by relying on his body-refining strength.
This time, Chen Zong had killed hundreds of Purgatory Ghosts, which attracted the attention of the Ghost Race.
"Human, how dare you enter the territory of the Ghost Race? You're courting death." This was a high-ranking ghost general. The first eight battle stars were silver, while the ninth was bronze.
"The light of fortune is as clear as water. If I kill you, I'll be blessed with great fortune." This was another high-ranking ghost general. His ninth battle star was silver and even stronger.
"Unfortunately, you don't have the ability." Chen Zong smiled faintly. He didn't want to waste time with them.
His sword slashed through the air.
He didn't use the Sword Intent Current, nor did he use any other ultimate moves. He simply slashed horizontally, his sword sweeping through the air.
Even then, the strength utilized in this strike was the seventh level of the Primeval Sword Origin Technique and the Heart Sword Dao Insight at full strength.
The sword tore through the air. There seemed to be no sound, but it left a pitch-black sword mark that emitted a heart-palpitating aura.
The two high-ranking ghost generals didn't react. It wasn't that they didn't want to, but that they couldn't react in time.
Chen Zong's sword was too fast, exceeding the limit of their perception.
When the sword returned to its sheath, a sword shadow swept past their bodies.
Kill!
They didn't even have the chance to use their Soul Battle Forms.
Two strands of essence appeared and entered Chen Zong's body, refining and absorbing them.
In an instant, the fifth battle star turned from black iron to bronze.
After making up for the innate deficiencies of body-refining, it was easier to improve than before. All he needed was enough resources.
The Purgatory Ghosts were resources.
Returning to his main body and returning to this world would be extremely dangerous. He'd already encountered it, but it was also accompanied by great opportunities that he was obtaining.
He'd improved by leaps and bounds.
