(Fourth Update)
The sword seemed to envelop the void of the universe with darkness, as if an eternal night had descended and devoured everything.
When the sword returned to its scabbard and the night faded away, the Sword Sharpening Mountain Lord stood in the air. The Saint-level expert of the Inferno Demon Sect was nowhere to be seen. It was as if he had been reduced to ashes by the sword.
However, the Sword Sharpening Mountain Master knew very well that although his sword strike was extremely powerful, it did not manage to kill the Saint-level expert of the Purgatory Demon Gate. After transforming into a Purgatory Demon, the Saint-level expert's body was extremely powerful and his vitality was extremely vigorous. That sword strike had only injured him, but not killed him.
It was a pity. If he had killed him, the Saint-level expert's spirit and extremely vigorous life force would have been enough to increase his cultivation further. He would have been close to the peak of the Emperor level. He would only be a step away from the true Saint-level expert.
However, he was still not powerful enough.
That sword was already the strongest sword he could unleash. Furthermore, he had paid a price to unleash a sure-kill attack. In the end, he still could not kill his opponent.
However, a Saint-level expert was a Saint-level expert. His methods were extraordinary and his strength was unfathomable. He would not be killed so easily. Even when he was at his peak, it would be difficult to kill a Saint-level expert.
If he could not defeat his opponent, he could escape. At most, he would have to use some life-saving methods and suffer some injuries. However, he would still be able to escape in the end. There were very few who were unlucky enough or had other reasons to be killed.
Immediately, the Sword Sharpening Mountain Lord's eyes flickered like ripples in water. His aura became chaotic as it surged wildly in all directions.
His expression was constantly changing as well. He seemed to be struggling and resisting something.
The pitch-black Will Heavenly Sword seemed to sense something as well. It immediately began to vibrate. The pitch-black color of the sword faded as it vibrated. It was like the tide was retreating. It could not be reversed and returned to its original color.
As the pitch-black color receded, the Will Heavenly Sword vibrated even more violently. It seemed to be resisting and trying to break free from the Sword Sharpening Mountain Lord's control.
"Even you want to rebel!" The Sword Sharpening Mountain Lord's gaze kept changing. At times, it was pitch-black and deep, like a black hole, and at other times, it returned to its original black and white. It was as if someone was fighting over something. As the Heavenly Will Sword vibrated, the Sword Sharpening Mountain Lord's tone turned cold. His killing intent was extremely shocking.
Previously, the Heavenly Will Sword had not reacted at all. But now, it was trembling violently, as if it was about to break free from the Sword Sharpening Mountain Master's control.
Why?
It was because it sensed that Chen Zong's consciousness was awakening.
This was also the aftereffect of the Sword Sharpening Mountain Lord unleashing the Demonic Sword Technique's killer move, Eternal Night. With the Sword Sharpening Mountain Lord's current cultivation base, unleashing this move was somewhat self-destructive. This self-destructive move caused Chen Zong's consciousness to tremble, causing him to awaken.
This body was Chen Zong's body. Chen Zong was the original owner of this body, while the Sword Sharpening Mountain Lord had taken over the body. Now that Chen Zong's consciousness had awakened, the Heavenly Will Sword recognized Chen Zong as its master, not the Sword Sharpening Mountain Lord.
Fight!
They worked together from the inside and outside, taking advantage of the Sword Sharpening Mountain Lord's self-destructive move to unleash their final attack.
"It's fine. The time for me to awaken has yet to truly arrive." The Sword Sharpening Mountain Lord let out a long sigh and no longer resisted. The pitch-black darkness in his eyes also retreated, eventually turning into a blank, unconscious blank. After a few breaths, his eyelids trembled and instantly closed. When he opened them again, they were clear and bright.
Chen Zong's consciousness had returned.
His consciousness had awakened and he had regained control of his body. Chen Zong could not help but feel a sense of unfamiliarity, as if he had been separated from his body for a long time. This feeling made Chen Zong very uncomfortable. He moved his limbs and waved the Heavenly Will Sword again, practicing his sword techniques to get used to his body again.
After a few rounds of practicing his sword techniques, Chen Zong also gradually got used to the strength of his body. The unfamiliarity disappeared, replaced by control. However, this made Chen Zong extremely shocked.
How could his cultivation base be so high?
How could his physique be so strong?
Emperor-level!
His current cultivation base had surpassed the Emperor-level and soared to the Emperor-level. Moreover, it was not just an ordinary Emperor-level, but a full-fledged Emperor-level one.
Full-fledged Seven-level!
Chen Zong had a blank look on his face. How long had he been asleep? How long had this body been occupied?
Could it be that decades or even centuries had passed?
According to the normal cultivation base advancement, it would be very difficult for him to advance from the peak of the Seven-level to the Full-fledged Seven-level in less than a hundred years, unless he had some great opportunity.
However, opportunities were not things that could be obtained just because one wanted to.
Therefore, when he felt that his cultivation base had soared to an unbelievable level, Chen Zong was very confused.
For a moment, he found it hard to believe.
The power of the Tao Calamity from the Seven-level to the Seven-level was definitely many times stronger than the Tao Calamity from the Seven-level to the Seven-level.
How did he get through it?
He did not know.
In short, Chen Zong's consciousness had now awakened and he had regained control of his body, but he felt very confused. In fact, Chen Zong had no idea who had taken over his body and caused his consciousness to fall into a deep slumber.
It was too sudden. When he used the Divine Advent Secret Technique for the second time to borrow more power from the black mark, the accident happened directly and his consciousness fell into a deep slumber.
Thinking of this, Chen Zong's expression became stern.
Sure enough, his intuition was not wrong. He could not be lucky. There was indeed a great hidden danger in the black mark.
Before this, the black mark had only provided him with help and had never brought him any disadvantages. However, this time, an accident had occurred because of the Godly Descent Secret Technique.
Perhaps, this was the true purpose of the black mark?
To take over his body?
Thinking of this, Chen Zong could not help but feel a chill run down his spine.
Sword Sharpening Mountain!
The black mark was obtained from Sword Sharpening Mountain. At that time, it carried the inheritance of the Fiendgod Sword Manual. Now, it seemed that it was not just an inheritance. Or rather, the real purpose was not the inheritance. The inheritance was just a means. The real purpose was to take over and be reborn.
Then, who would take over and be reborn?
In an instant, Chen Zong locked onto a person.
The Sword Sharpening Mountain Lord!
The most powerful person of Sword Sharpening Mountain was the Sword Sharpening Mountain Lord. The so-called inheritance of the black mark and so on was actually the Sword Sharpening Mountain Lord's plan. A plan that spanned a million years in order to return to the universe.
Thinking of this, Chen Zong felt even colder.
Was his conjecture true?
If it was, then it was too shocking. A million years of planning and planning. How shocking was that?
At this moment, Chen Zong's emotions were like a raging tide. He could not calm down at all. Anyone who knew that they were being targeted by a peerless expert from a million years ago and that their body might have been taken over would not be able to remain calm.
Then, the Heavenly Will Sword trembled slightly, as if it wanted to send a message to Chen Zong.
Chen Zong sensed it and immediately focused on the Heavenly Will Sword. The Heavenly Will Sword vibrated continuously. Then, the sword light shone brightly and directly enveloped Chen Zong.
Chen Zong only felt that his consciousness was in a trance. It was as if he had fallen into another space-time.
He saw it!
Chen Zong actually saw himself in this space-time.
No, the body was his, but the spirit was not. It was … the Sword Sharpening Mountain Lord.
From the moment he unleashed the Divine Descent Secret Technique for the second time, his consciousness had fallen into a deep slumber. It was unavoidable that he was taken over by the spirit that appeared in the black mark.
Everything that happened after that was recorded by the Heavenly Will Sword. Now, it was replaying it for Chen Zong.
It was a very strange feeling.
Watching himself do things was indeed strange to the extreme.
And when Chen Zong saw that the Sword Sharpening Mountain Lord had directly slaughtered all the cultivators and sea beasts on the entire planet just to devour their spirits and vitality, his expression was extremely ugly.
To a certain extent, although they were not killed by him, they were inextricably linked to him.
Of course, Chen Zong was not so pedantic as to take the blame for the crime. Because, although this was inextricably linked to him, in essence, it was not him who did it. It was the Sword Sharpening Mountain Lord who did it.
Chen Zong was shocked by the Sword Sharpening Mountain Lord's ruthlessness. He did not care about human lives at all. Such methods were clearly not orthodox, but demonic. He had no regard for human lives and treated living beings like ants.
Chen Zong could not understand or accept such a mentality.
One planet, two planets, and the bandits on the space-crossing divine ship, all became resources for the Sword Sharpening Mountain Lord to increase his cultivation level.
Chen Zong also finally understood how his cultivation level of Level-7 Upper Tier came about.
It was a devilish technique that was obtained by devouring the souls and life force of countless living beings.
In the end, it was the battle between the Sword Sharpening Mountain Lord and the Saint-level powerhouse of the Purgatory Demon Sect. This battle was extremely intense. From it, Chen Zong could clearly see the supreme level of Sword Principle that the Sword Sharpening Mountain Lord had mastered.
However, Chen Zong could not see through it. This was because Chen Zong's Sword Principle realm and the Sword Sharpening Mountain Lord's Sword Principle realm were on two completely different levels.
Although he could not see through it, it did not mean that Chen Zong could not forcibly memorize it. He could first memorize the feeling and then slowly comprehend it.
In the end, Chen Zong saw with his own eyes that the Sword Sharpening Mountain Lord used his own body and the Heavenly Will Sword to perform a terrifying sword technique.
Demon Sword Technique!
Yes, it was the Demon Sword Technique, not the Sword Sharpening Technique.
It looked simple, but it was an extremely overbearing demonic swordsmanship. This kind of overbearingness was different from the overbearingness of the Rising Dragon Swordsmanship. The overbearingness of the Rising Dragon Swordsmanship lay in its power, its invincible power. If Chen Zong focused on the Rising Dragon Swordsmanship, he would be able to reach the realm of invincible power one day.
However, Chen Zong only used the Tide Dragon Sword Technique as nourishment to improve his own sword technique.
The domineering Demon Sword Technique was different from the Tide Dragon Sword Technique. It was not absolute power, but willpower. It was a kind of domineering power that was like the descent of a true demon.
In particular, the Eternal Night that the Sword Sharpening Mountain Lord performed at the end was even more unimaginable.
Shocking!
After watching everything, Chen Zong's heart was filled with endless shock. It was indescribable.
The Sword Sharpening Mountain Lord!
No, Chen Zong even felt that he should not call him the Sword Sharpening Mountain Lord, but the Demon Sword Mountain Lord. The same pronunciation, but different words, represented completely different meanings.
