The Birth of Sword God

Chapter 374 - 334: Chu Huaixu, Borrowed Sword!

The Ancestor Emperor rose into the air, positioned at a height, casting his gaze downward upon Chu Huaixu.

In his hand, he held his former lifebound object [Imperial Moon], his eyes stern, carrying a hint of a ghostly severity like that of the netherworld.

This old creature, who nearly succeeded in possessing Chu Huaixu, considered himself intimately acquainted with the fleshly body of Chu Huaixu; he was indeed familiar with every aspect of it.

But after merely a few days apart, the power of his flesh had grown so formidable!

Nearly doubled in strength!

This certainly made him increasingly longing, increasingly frustrated!

"Such a good [container], it ought to belong to me! It should belong to me!"

The duel officially began, and Chu Huaixu wasted no time in swinging the sword scabbard, unleashing the 21 stored Sword Qi within [Calming the Storm] all at once.

Twenty-one powerful Sword Qi surged skyward, and he hid behind the Sword Qi, leaping up, seeking an opportunity to strike.

Fingertip Sword Qi converged at the tips of his fingers, the Great Perfection level [Six Out of Seven] slashed upwards.

The power of the two Sword Hearts within his body was simultaneously activated, the might of the [Heart Sword] assaulting the Sea of Consciousness of "Qin Xuexiao"!

He had long contemplated; if he could find a chance to sever the Divine Soul of Qin Xuexiao himself, it might be a chance to win!

Comparatively, the soul of this world’s protagonist would certainly be easier to sever than the wisps of Divine Thought imbued with fortune!

The Qi Force generated from the collision of spear and Sword Qi spread around, causing the great cultivators among the spectators to feel a bit startled!

And among the great cultivators sitting on the high platforms, their sensitivity was heightened.

Someone couldn’t help but speak, their tone filled with endless astonishment.

"Two Sword Hearts!?"

"How does he have two Sword Hearts!"

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

Yet oddly, he indeed emitted two distinctly different powers of Sword Heart.

One of the Sword Hearts, its power incredibly pure, seemingly without any attribute, clean and pure, akin to the attributeless Spiritual Power within Lin Zixuan’s body.

Yet it had inexplicably reached the terrifying Realm of Sword Heart Clarity!

Throughout the Profound Yellow Realm, those who achieved Sword Heart Clarity were few.

And the man before him, merely at the cultivation of the Third Realm.

What kind of monstrous talent in Sword Dao was this?!

Regarding his other Sword Heart, it had currently reached the Realm of Minor Success.

This Sword Heart was more unique.

When it demonstrated its power, the lifebound swords of the low-tier sword cultivators below would involuntarily tremble!

The sword cultivator disciples of the Four Great Sects couldn’t help but recall the phenomena on the night they first arrived at the Imperial Capital.

That night, the Sword Spirit showed signs of agitation, generating a feeling of submission toward a certain presence, the trembling of the sword body as if in worship!

Now, undeniably, there was an answer.

The phenomena were all due to Chu Huaixu!

The sword he swung at this moment made everyone realize that when he confronted Leng Wukai and others from the Moon Country, he seemed to hold nothing back, yet in actuality, he had been lenient....

Today’s sword, far surpassed that day!

And at this moment, Chu Huaixu experienced for the first time the fearsome power of Celestial Level Technique.

[Imperial Moon] moved.

From the start, it was the Celestial Level spear technique—[Crescent Moon Reshaping River]!

Twenty-one Sword Qi were instantly destroyed, Chu Huaixu had leaped behind the Ancestor Emperor, executing his sword, yet the opponent blocked directly without even turning his head.

The old monster he faced was a veteran of numerous battles.

His combat experience was incredibly fearsome.

Now the only advantage was that he had been a "wandering soul" for far too long.

Thus, these so-called experiences belonged to hundreds of years ago.

But once he gradually adapted, everything would become increasingly challenging.

Chu Huaixu was struck down from the air by the spear.

Yet, "Qin Xuexiao," standing in midair, was also knocked flying.

The first round of clashes ended in a draw.

Steadying himself, the Ancestor Emperor looked down from the air, saying: "Such a sword, how many more times can you wield it?"

As soon as his words fell, the purple moon shadow behind him became increasingly solid!

The nation’s fortune converged from all directions, providing him with replenishment.

By this alone, he was already invincible.

"Today I shall kill you!"

"I want to see, you could escape death from Emperor’s Pool back then, what you rely on to survive now!" thought the Ancestor Emperor.

[Imperial Moon] began to emit bursts of purple brilliance, the purple moon behind him started to shed purple moonlight!

The heavens and earth seemed to change colors!

Snowflakes that had been falling from the sky constantly would melt as soon as they touched this area.

What boldness, to throw his spear directly!

A streak of purple light pierced through the sky, seemingly able to tear the heavens apart.

Purple currents began to swirl, their speed even faster than Chu Huaixu’s [Six Out of Seven] infused with [Fearless Sword Intent].

Chu Huaixu knew he couldn’t casually exhaust the Spiritual Power within him.

Once he’s out of energy, he’s truly out.

But the opponent could be replenished with the nation’s fortune.

So, now he needed to rely on other means to deplete him.

In fact, given the established battle to the death, the rules of the arena match no longer mattered.

Because a battle to the death supersedes such rules!

Chu Huaixu decided not to care about anymore.

He didn’t know how much fortune the opponent could draw.

But there must be a limit.

"Then let’s see if you can draw more fortune! Or if my Evil Pill can absorb more!"

Since the Bronze Sword has appeared, and Evil Qi has emerged, there’s nothing to hide about the Evil Pill.

The Evil Pill containing the Four Symbols Spirit Root was directly taken out.

Relying on the power of [Dao Generating One], Chu Huaixu guided it to precisely block in front of the spear!

The spear tip carrying rolling Thunder Power slammed fiercely onto the dragon-eye-sized translucent Elixir Pearl.

Strangely, the floating pearl wasn’t swayed at all!

Instead, all the power imbued in [Imperial Moon] was absorbed into this pearl.

The purple streams emitted by the purple moon mark behind the Ancestor Emperor continuously headed towards the spear, drifting downward.

Yet once these powers gathered at the spear tip, they were swallowed by the Evil Pill!

On the high platform, many people showed shocked expressions.

"What is this?"

"How come it contains Evil Qi power!"

"Even more solid than Evil Qi?"

Quite a few discerning folks instantly saw that what seemed to be inside the Evil Pill was... a Spirit Root!!!

This caused waves of shock in the hearts of the great cultivators from the Profound Yellow Realm.

How can there be spirit roots from the Kunlun Cave Heaven here!

Chu Huaixu can actually extract the spirit root from a cultivator’s body?

And it appears that the spirit root is still intact!

This is something none of them could do.

Even the Sword Venerable and other cultivators couldn’t help but use their Divine Sense to investigate the condition of the spirit root.

However, the moment their Divine Sense touched the Evil Pill, it was completely devoured, leaving them unable to detect anything!

This instead infuriated Chu Huaixu!

"Damn it! What are you doing!"

This is wasting the devouring capacity of my Evil Pill!

Fortunately, everyone saw that it shared the same nature as Evil Qi and stopped these futile efforts.

The Ancestor Emperor unconsciously retreated a few feet in the air, staying far away from the Evil Pill.

It was this object that had absorbed all four strands of his Divine Thought!

He held a certain fear for this object.

Besides, the Ancestor Emperor knew in his heart: "This Elixir Pearl, like Evil Qi, can devour all things in heaven and earth."

Before it is "sated," all means and powers are in vain.

Now, it’s just a matter of how much it can devour!

The Ancestor Emperor indeed had one more drop of Holy Water.

But he hadn’t found his four strands of Divine Thought in this Evil Pill.

Which means, Chu Huaixu likely has another Evil Pill!

The one taken out this time wasn’t the one from last time!

"If he takes out another Elixir Pearl, I might try to reclaim my Divine Thought. I’m just unsure if I can succeed."

Purple moonlight-like Power of Fortune continuously gets absorbed by the Evil Pill.

As for the spear [Imperial Moon], it was already taken back by the Ancestor Emperor.

Chu Huaixu seized the opportunity to leap again, his right arm instantly breaking open as he slashed out a sword [Six Out of Seven]!

Without the empowerment of Power of Fortune, it became a pure battle between the two.

Overall, the Ancestor Emperor still had the upper hand.

But fortunately, Chu Huaixu’s regenerative ability was quite terrifying, healing as he fought, unfazed.

He was continuously injured, yet continuously healed.

Pain for him seemed nonexistent.

This made the Ancestor Emperor realize the difficulty.

Holding the spear in his right hand, he formed a seal with his left: "Converge!"

A more majestic national fortune instantly surged in.

He seemed to try to saturate the Evil Pill quickly.

"How many of these Elixir Pearls can you have!" His voice boomed like thunder from above.

"Who told you I plan to rely entirely on the Evil Pill to solve the fortune issue?" Chu Huaixu said coldly.

This was merely an experiment he was conducting.

If the fortunes the Ancestor Emperor could currently manipulate could be entirely drained by the Evil Pill, all the better.

If not, he would have to risk it all.

"Dao Ancestor, please don’t betray me now," Chu Huaixu silently thought.

Soon, since the Power of Fortune was actively rushing into the Evil Pill, it immediately became saturated.

Chu Huaixu didn’t expect that it was Qin Xuexiao’s mere Third Realm cultivation that limited the performance of the Power of Fortune.

This terrifying power was enough to fill his Spiritual Power countless times!

The Ancestor Emperor let out a long laugh, awaiting Chu Huaixu to produce the Evil Pill containing four strands of Divine Thought and then act accordingly.

But in the end, the other party didn’t do so.

"What are you waiting for?"

"What are you expecting?" Chu Huaixu raised his head and gave him a mocking smile.

Then, he silently chanted in his heart——[Upgrade]!

More than eight million points of Free Experience Points were instantly consumed.

He directly upgraded his Minor Success Realm Sword Heart to the Great Success Realm!

But, can the [Ten Thousand Swords Unite] upgraded to Great Success kill the Ancestor Emperor?

In fact, no.

Not enough! Far from enough!

The power of fortune was too overpowering, this problem was unsolvable, today Chu Huaixu would surely die!

But what Chu Huaixu wanted wasn’t his own Power of Sword Heart.

What he needed was the Heaven and Earth Phenomena that were triggered every time the Sword Heart was broken through!

From all directions, began the sound of numerous swords.

All sword cultivators by the arena were aghast, looking at their Lifebound Swords with disbelief!

The swords were submitting!

Submitting to the young man in the black and gold robe on the arena!

This time, the breakthrough to the Great Success Realm, the range of phenomena covered far exceeded the last time.

And last time, upon breakthrough, Chu Huaixu sensed the presence of a special sword within the Imperial Capital.

A sword that served as the focal point of the Imperial Capital’s Grand Array!

A sword carrying the large fortune of the Moon Country!

In the Secret Realm left by the Dao Ancestor, Chu Huaixu walked the path of Borrowed Sword and concluded——any sword I can sense, I can borrow.

So, he prayed in his heart, hoping the Borrowed Sword path simulated by the Dao Ancestor wouldn’t betray him.

What he needed now was to use the [Power of Origin] within, causing a phenomenon through the interaction when the Sword Heart broke through, and then...to sense it!

——[National Guardian Sword]!!!

Chu Huaixu closed his eyes and quickly forged a faint bond with this sword.

"Is it enough?" He initially felt unsure.

But soon, a familiar feeling surged up.

"It’s enough!" He had found his answer within.

"Use their own method against them!"

"You want to use the Moon Country’s fortune to kill me; today, I’ll borrow that same fortune to kill you!" Chu Huaixu shouted high at the Ancestor Emperor in the sky.

"Dream on!" the Ancestor Emperor sneered.

But soon, he couldn’t help but frown.

Chu Huaixu opened his right hand.

The next moment, the entire Imperial Capital began to tremble.

——"Sword, come!"

From somewhere in the Imperial Capital, a long sword burst from the ground, soared into the sky, and roared towards the Martial Arts Arena.
