The sword radiance was bright, clear, and serene.
Within the sword radiance, sorrow flowed in reverse, traversing the universe. It was as if he had lost something extremely important in his heart and could not help but feel sad. Sorrow was about to spread, infecting the world and grieving the heavens and earth.
The Sword Sharpening Mountain Lord's soul body suddenly trembled. An indescribable sorrow immediately spread out, filling the surroundings. It was as if the saddest past in his heart had been drawn out, causing him to fall into a trance. The sword radiance had already arrived.
It was the ultimate move of the Demon Sword Technique, Eternal Night.
As the sword radiance slashed out, the pitch-black sword radiance seemed to have come from the abyss, bringing with it an abyss-like darkness. The two sword radiances instantly collided.
The sword radiance dissipated, but a terrifying force still shot towards the Sword Sharpening Mountain Lord, piercing through his soul body. The powerful force wantonly destroyed his soul body.
Horrified and shocked, the Sword Sharpening Mountain Lord did not know what had happened. His opponent's strength was inferior to his, and his sword technique was also inferior to his, yet he could unleash such a powerful and terrifying sword radiance. Its power was so strong that even the Sword Sharpening Mountain Lord could not block it.
Even though the Sword Sharpening Mountain Lord's power had been greatly reduced due to the damage to his soul, it was still the ultimate move of the Unparalleled Sword Technique.
Run!
The Sword Sharpening Mountain Lord was afraid. The power of his soul had been greatly depleted, and his soul body had also become faint. His aura had withered. Although he still had the power to fight, if he continued fighting, would something happen that would cause his soul to collapse?
He could not let his million-year plan die here.
Without any hesitation, with a thought, the Sword Sharpening mountain lord immediately fled into the black sword in his hand. In the next moment, the black sword erupted with a startling might. As black light permeated the surroundings, with a flash, it directly left Chen Zong's sea of consciousness and appeared outside. It directly turned into a streak of dark light and vanished into outer space.
He had left. The Sword Sharpening Mountain Lord had truly left Chen Zong's body and left. As Chen Zong had forcefully dispersed the power of the Canon of the Fiendgod Sword, his compatibility with the Sword Sharpening Mountain Lord's soul had greatly decreased. If the Sword Sharpening Mountain Lord wanted to possess and truly control Chen Zong's body, it would be many times more difficult.
Coupled with the fact that his soul was in danger of collapsing, even if there was only the slightest possibility, he was not willing to take this risk.
Only when the Sword Sharpening Mountain chief fled did Chen Zong let out a sigh of relief. His consciousness returned to his body, and he could not help but smile bitterly when he sensed the condition of his body.
Tragic!
Heavy losses!
First, it was the injuries on his body. Due to him forcefully dispersing his cultivation of the Celestial Demon Sword Codex, he had suffered heavy injuries all over his body. If an ordinary cultivator suffered such severe injuries, they would have died immediately. It was a miracle that Chen Zong was still alive.
After all, his cultivation came from the [Godly Demon Sword Codex], and the more he cultivated it to the third stage, the deeper the connection. To a certain extent, the [Godly Demon Sword Codex] cultivated Body Refinement and Qi Refinement, and the Body Refinement had the meaning of forging an extraordinary treasure body. It was comparable to King Bodies, Saint Bodies, and even Divine Bodies.
By forcefully dispersing his cultivation, he had injured himself. His powerful body had also weakened, and he had become extremely weak. Chen Zong felt as if he would collapse if a gust of wind blew.
How to describe it? It was like a tree growing. As it gradually grew, its roots would spread all over the land. If the tree was forcefully uprooted, the integrity of the land would be destroyed. Not only would the integrity of the exterior be destroyed, but the integrity of the interior would also be destroyed.
In short, Chen Zong's body was in a terrible state. The powerful strength brought about by the Heavenly Gold Sword Body had disappeared. In addition, his soul was in an intense battle with the Sword Sharpening Mountain chief's soul. His strength was constantly being depleted, and he was constantly being injured by the sword. Now, his soul was also in a very weak state.
Moreover, his essence, Qi, and spirit had been devoured. Although he could regenerate, it was not so easy.
This was an unprecedented weakness. Chen Zong had never experienced such weakness before.
Fortunately, the mysterious seed in his Sea of Qi still had an exuberant vitality. Chen Zong mobilized it, and it quickly filled his entire body. A clear stream flowed continuously, healing his injured body as he fell.
Could he no longer fly after losing his cultivation?
No, under the Quasi Supreme Sword Realm, Chen Zong was still able to fly in the sky. It was like a bird, and it had become a type of instinct that was ingrained in his bones. It didn't have any definite connection with the Fiendgod Sword Mantra.
Of course, losing his cultivation would directly cause Chen Zong's flying speed to decrease drastically. This was inevitable. Similarly, Chen Zong losing his cultivation did not mean that he no longer had any strength. Cultivation was a part of one's strength, but not everything. Losing his cultivation did not mean that he had completely lost his strength.
However, cultivation was a very important part of one's strength. It was the foundation. Without cultivation, many techniques would lack something, and it would directly cause one's strength to decrease drastically. It would weaken one's strength by at least ten times.
Less than one out of ten would survive!
What was worse was that Chen Zong realized that his perception of the five Great Daos was also fading. It became blurry and thin.
After landing safely, Chen Zong felt that his body was very weak. In fact, his current physique was still relatively strong compared to a Heaven Rank cultivator who had not refined his body. It was just that he was not as strong as when he had mastered the Heavenly Gold Sword Body.
This time, his injuries were too severe. Even if the mysterious seed's vitality kept surging and healing, it was unable to heal Chen Zong in a short time. However, it was able to heal his heavy injuries and reduce Chen Zong's pain.
Not daring to stay, Chen Zong quickly left while healing his injuries. He did not want other cultivators to be attracted by the fluctuations here. That would be very disadvantageous to him.
Moreover, Chen Zong did not forget that the Quasi-sage Lord Jinxuan who was killed by the Sword Sharpening Mountain Lord was an expert from the Heavenly Dragon Holy Land. His death would be known by the Heavenly Dragon Holy Land sooner or later. Perhaps they already knew.
Old and new grudges.
Although it was the Sword Sharpening Mountain Lord who killed him, he would eventually come for him.
For a time, Chen Zong's thoughts were in extreme disorder. He'd suffered heavy injuries, lost his formidable cultivation, and his senses towards the Sword Dao, Dao of the Heart, Dao of the World, Dao of Time, and Dao of Space had become weak. If this continued, it might be severed. That would be equivalent to him losing the ability to mobilize and utilize the quintessence energy of the five Grand Daos, and his strength would imperceptibly decline a step further.
Lost cultivation could be cultivated back. After all, it was not destroyed by others. It was dissipated by oneself. The meaning was different. However, the connection with the Great Daos of Heaven and Earth was cut off. Chen Zong did not know how to reconnect with them.
When cultivators comprehended the Great Daos, they used their own Great Daos to mobilize the corresponding Great Daos of Heaven and Earth in order to enhance their own strength.
This was the cultivation method of cultivators below the Saint Rank.
If one lost the connection with the Great Daos of Heaven and Earth, it meant that one's strength would be greatly reduced. Chen Zong was now facing such a dilemma.
As he ran, Chen Zong's speed also increased rapidly. The injuries on his body were gradually healing under the vigorous vitality of the mysterious seed. However, there was still a sense of weakness. As time passed, it gradually disappeared. Chen Zong had adapted to this body again.
Without the power of cultivation, the strength of his body was not as strong as before. Fortunately, his realm was not affected. Chen Zong was able to maintain a decent speed and leave the battlefield.
As for the weakening of his Divine Soul and the lost essence, Qi, and spirit, it would take more time to recover.
With his extraordinary perception, Chen Zong did not sense any danger. He gradually slowed down and thought carefully.
This time, he took the initiative to disperse the power of the Fiendgod Sword Codex. Other than severing his connection with the Sword Sharpening Mountain Lord, it was also because of some thoughts or inspiration that occasionally flashed through Chen Zong's mind when he was comprehending the Single Hearted Sword Technique.
However, that inspiration was fragmented and incomplete. As such, Chen Zong was not very certain. However, now that things had progressed to this stage, with the combination of various factors, he was destined to have to make a choice. If he was unwilling to give up on the cultivation brought by the Fiendgod Sword Mantra, he would definitely continue to be entangled with the Sword Sharpening Mountain Lord. He did not know when he would be possessed again.
He would not be so lucky every time.
Rather than that, he might as well give up the inheritance that did not belong to him. This was because the inheritance of the Fiendgod Sword Codex was part of the Sword Sharpening Mountain Lord's plan. He wanted to find a suitable vessel to carry his Divine Soul and return to the universe.
Obtaining the Sword Sharpening Technique and entering the Sword Sharpening Mountain to obtain various Great Dao Sword Techniques was a test to see if he was qualified to inherit the Fiendgod Sword Codex. In other words, it was a test to see if he was qualified to become the vessel of the Sword Sharpening Mountain Lord.
Now, the Sword Sharpening Mountain Lord had escaped. Chen Zong did not know where he went. With his injuries, it would not be easy for him to recover. However, Chen Zong was sure of one thing. If the Sword Sharpening Mountain Lord recovered, he might come to him for revenge.
Enemies at the level of the Heavenly Dragon Holy Land and the Sword Sharpening Mountain Lord gave him a headache just thinking about it.
Even so, Chen Zong didn't feel dejected or discouraged. He didn't give up hope because of this. He was still alive, and he still had some strength. He also had the quasi-supreme sword realm, so he still had some strength. That meant that there was still hope.
With the loss of his cultivation, Chen Zong was more prone to fatigue. Fortunately, he found a relatively remote place in the mountains as a temporary resting place to recover his physical strength. At the same time, he also allowed the power of his Spirit and essence to gradually recover.
Standing on a naturally formed obelisk, Chen Zong looked ahead. At this moment, it was evening and the sun was setting.
"I lost my cultivation and my Great Dao was severed." Chen Zong's eyes became more and more profound as he stared at the endless distance ahead. There, there was a dazzling red glow. It was as bright as a burning cloud, blooming with an indescribable brilliance that shone in all directions. It fell on Chen Zong's body and also on Chen Zong's face. It was reflected in Chen Zong's bright and clear eyes.
"It doesn't matter if I have no cultivation or my Great Dao is severed. After all, it belongs to others." Chen Zong's expression became more and more determined. "From now on, I will test my idea and walk a path that belongs to me alone. I will recover my strength and even break through my limits. The Heavenly Dragon Holy Land and the Sword Sharpening Mountain Lord. What is there to fear?"
