Chapter 935: A Different Sword Intent Baptism

For Su Han, agreeing to the Mountain Soul had more advantages than disadvantages.

This was the Mountain Soul of the Myriad Sword Mountain, nurtured by the Sword Intent of generations of powerful sword cultivators from the Myriad Swords Sect. It had vast knowledge of ancient and recent lore and many secrets of the Myriad Swords Sect. If it was willing to teach Li Qingyue, she would certainly be like a tiger with wings.

To be honest, although Li Qingyue progressed rapidly, Su Han’s improvement speed was even faster because Li Qingyue, as a follower, was mainly looked after by Su Han.

If the Mountain Soul sincerely wanted to teach Li Qingyue, it would be her great fortune. Perhaps she could forge a new path, and Su Han would be happy for her.

Of course, the Mountain Soul might harbor hidden motives, but Su Han would thoroughly test it before handing it over to Li Qingyue. If there were issues, he would eliminate the Mountain Soul.

Though there was risk, the benefits were greater. Therefore Su Han thought for a moment and agreed to the conditions of the Mountain Soul.

"Youngster, thank you!"

The Mountain Soul expressed gratitude, as this was its only chance to find a descendant of the Myriad Swords Sect. Otherwise, it would forever remain in the Myriad Virtual Realm without a chance to see a descendant again.

Su Han agreed to the Mountain Soul’s condition, and the Mountain Soul didn’t immediately enter Su Han’s mind, as it still had a fortune to bestow upon Su Han.

"On this Myriad Sword Mountain, there are over a hundred thousand sharp swords, each containing a Sword Intent. These were left by generations of strong figures from the Myriad Swords Sect. I will gather these Sword Intents together to form a baptism of Sword Intent, but it will increase gradually. If you can’t endure it, I will stop!"

The Mountain Soul spoke, reminding Su Han.

Gathering over a hundred thousand types of Sword Intent would be like an ocean of Sword Intent, not something the average person could endure. Though Su Han was strong, he was not purely a sword cultivator, and his strength had its limits.

"Alright!"

Su Han nodded, indicating his understanding. Immediately, brightness reappeared before his eyes, and he exited the dark space.

At this moment, Su Han found himself still standing in the same place. However, the previous dark space was neither an illusory realm nor a spiritual world—it was very mysterious.

"The baptism of Sword Intent, if it can make my Sword Intent reach the perfected realm, that would be great!"

Su Han had long since achieved Sword Intent Great Accomplishment, capable of manifesting it, and now he pursued Sword Intent Perfection.

Whoosh!

Leaving the mountain’s base, Su Han climbed up swiftly, reaching the summit and choosing the central position.

"I’m ready!"

Su Han spoke, informing the Mountain Soul, and suddenly the entire Myriad Sword Mountain began to tremble.

The frequency of this tremor was initially slight, but over time it grew stronger. Meanwhile, each sharp sword on the Myriad Sword Mountain was also trembling slightly, emitting countless sword hums.

Some of these sword hums were crisp, some muffled, some soaring, some reserved.

Swoosh!

Under the Mountain Soul’s control, ten sharp swords soon began to glow, with clear Sword Intents bursting forth toward Su Han.

"Slaughter Sword Intent!"

Su Han sensed the approach of the Sword Intent baptism and immediately invoked his Slaughter Sword Intent, which he had comprehended by himself, aligning more with his own desire than the inherited Sword Intent of Ages.

Challenge me, and I kill!

Defy me, and I kill!

Scheme against me, and I kill!

Kill, kill, kill!

Slay all enemies in the world!

An unnerving, terrifying killing intent burst forth from Su Han’s body, as if a God of Slaughter had descended to massacre the world and annihilate beings.

Gathered Slaughter Sword Intent formed around Su Han, creating a horrifying scene of mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Piles of white bones lay beneath his feet, and blood so thick it couldn’t be dispersed formed an ocean.

Magnificent Slaughter Sword Intent rose from within Su Han and condensed into an ethereal sword above his head. This sword wasn’t real, didn’t exist in the world, but it caused all who saw it to feel palpitation, as though their heart spirit were about to be severed.

This was the Sword of Slaughter, formed by the condensation of Slaughter Sword Intent. This sword did not harm the physical body; it targeted only the spirit, capable of slaying an enemy’s spiritual will, turning them into a walking corpse.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

At this moment, ten different Sword Intents approached from all directions, striking at Su Han’s Sword of Slaughter.

Although these Sword Intents appeared ethereal, they were incredibly clear, incredibly pure, as if ten sword cultivators, armed with sharp swords, were besieging Su Han.

This kind of Sword Intent baptism was more effective than ordinary, but also much more dangerous. One misstep, and Su Han’s Sword of Slaughter would be severed, causing extreme harm to his Sword Intent.

"Slash!"

Su Han willed his mind, controlling the Sword of Slaughter to meet the ten Sword Intents.

The Sword Intent comprehended by each sword cultivator was different. Even if two Sword Intents were the same, they would have subtle differences due to the different personalities, life experiences, and other factors of the sword cultivators.

For instance, Su Han’s Sword Intent of Ages, obtained through a Sword Intent seed, had slight differences from the Heavenly Sword Crown Prince’s comprehension of the same, and even greater differences from the Sword Intent of Ages of the Great Emperor Zhan Kong.

Thus, there are no identical Sword Intents in the world, and each one possesses considerable potential.

At this moment, the ten Sword Intents besieging Su Han were all different and approached simultaneously from all directions, extremely perilous.

"Myriad Swords Returning Origin Technique!"

Su Han, undistracted, continually comprehended the Myriad Swords Returning Origin Technique passed down by the Tai Cang Sword God, the Myriad Swords Sect’s inherited cultivation technique—immensely powerful and extraordinary.

Su Han used the Myriad Swords Returning Origin Technique to activate the Sword of Slaughter, as though he were wielding the sword, confronting sword cultivators from ten directions.

Clang!

Su Han’s Slaughter Sword Intent had long since achieved Great Accomplishment, not lacking in power. Now, augmented by the Myriad Swords Returning Origin Technique, he swiftly annihilated all ten Sword Intents.

These annihilated Sword Intents didn’t dissipate but instead merged into the Sword of Slaughter, slightly strengthening it.

Even minor, it was a fine beginning, and this risky Sword Intent baptism was quite satisfactory to Su Han.

Whoosh!

Seeing Su Han effortlessly eradicate the ten Sword Intents, the Mountain Soul then summoned more sharp swords, this time bringing over a hundred Sword Intents from all directions.

Let it be known that those able to place swords on the Myriad Sword Mountain were not weak. Among them were even Sword Intents left by successive leaders of the Myriad Swords Sect and Great Emperor Realm figures. The power and terror of these Sword Intents were self-evident.

Over a hundred Sword Intents simultaneously slashed toward Su Han, akin to a hundred peerless sword cultivators joining forces, their power not something an ordinary sword cultivator could withstand.

However, Su Han was unfazed, fully operating the Myriad Swords Returning Origin Technique while comprehending the inherited memories of the Tai Cang Sword God, integrating One Sword Breaks Myriad Spells to control the Sword of Slaughter, annihilating Sword Intents one by one.

Soon enough, the over a hundred Sword Intents were all annihilated by Su Han, transforming into pure Sword Intent that merged into the Sword of Slaughter, making it stronger.

This Sword Intent baptism might indeed have the chance to enable Su Han’s Slaughter Sword Intent to reach the perfected realm!
