Chapter 143: Chapter 135: Golden Life [Star-cutting Demon Sword] _2

"Could it be... that demonic sword which just gave birth to the ’Silent World’ and started devouring the universe..."

The mere thought sent a chill creeping up his spine.

If this is the demonic sword that was born from comprehending the "Desperate Will" and slicing through the "Seven-Star Divine Throne", creating the "Silent World", based on its performance in the "Dark Star Realm" universe.

Then it’s another "Sword of Chaos".

No.

It’s far more terrifying than the "Sword of Chaos"; having achieved mastery in cultivating the "Cyan Heaven Great Sun Burning Qi Scripture" within the sword, he completely fell into the "Red Dust Qi", which already counted as—True Realm of Harmony.

That harbors the despair and suffering of an entire universe, with the "Absolute Will" of the Judgment Angel able to twist reality and reverse time, equivalent to a Daoist Sword Cultivator.

However.

The residual Power of Despair within Ning Xunqiu unmistakably told him he couldn’t control such a terrifying power.

Moreover, this sword is not as friendly as the "Sword of Chaos".

Ning Xunqiu didn’t dare to immediately draw the reward, pondering for a moment, he took out the "Immortal Slaying Sword Map" from his Primordial Spirit.

Boom!

An unknowably tall jet-black obelisk emerged, Ning Xunqiu exerting all his Magical Power to barely open a crack leading to the "Modo Realm Chaos Consciousness Sea".

Once he draws the "Demon Sword", if the "Silent World" within it begins to uncontrollably spread, he would instantly throw this "Demon Sword" into the "Sword of Chaos" for suppression.

"Draw Golden Life Achievement Reward," he said through gritted teeth.

[Drawing in progress...]

[Congratulations, you have received the Golden Life Achievement Reward — Judgment Angel · Wings of Freedom · Ethereum’s "Sword of Despair"!]

Swoosh!

An unremarkable black sword hovered in the void.

Ning Xunqiu’s Primordial Spirit observed it, unable to sense his own presence, yet the sword carried a section of information.

Cautiously grasping a wisp of "thought" from his Primordial Spirit to absorb the information, several hours passed, and no danger arose.

Reassured, Ning Xunqiu proceeded to absorb that wisp of "thought".

Immediately, vast information flooded into his mind.

He abruptly opened his eyes, finding himself within a dazzling and radiant core of multicolored beams, instinctively reaching out his hand.

Glimmering silver armor snugly fitted his body, with radiant silver-white wings behind him, brilliant and dazzling.

Silver-white armor? Wings? Am I now the Judgment Angel?

This thought flickered through his mind, stirring subtle waves of emotion within him.

Simultaneously, the surrounding multicolored beams began to violently tremble, on the brink of collapse.

"Er Tairong, focus on powering the Wings of Freedom! Otherwise, falling into other worlds would be quite troublesome!" A somewhat reproachful voice rang out from his shoulder, carrying a hint of urgency.

"Sorry, little one." He swiftly turned his head, his gaze landing on a small angel tightly clutching his shoulder, then concentrated on controlling the Wings of Freedom, stabilizing the multicolored beams.

A gentle voice emerged from within the silver-white armor, Tianshi Xue’s round eyes shivered, swiftly linking her consciousness to the Divine Body, asking in a soft voice: "You’re awake?"

Ning Xunqiu nodded and said, "Yes, where are we headed?"

Tianshi Xue sat firmly, crossed her legs, and pulled out a book from the Silent World: "We still have eleven Cancers of the Universe to eliminate..."

"They burrowed too deep, truly hard to chase." She sighed, rubbing her forehead in exasperation, "We’ll gather a few more wisps of Primordial Light and perfect the Wings of Freedom, then you can directly cut them down."

"Once completed, we can play to our heart’s content."

Ning Xunqiu laughed, "Sure, where would you like to play then?"

Tianshi Xue looked up, dazedly gazing at the figure within the armor, "How did you suddenly become so happy? Aren’t you going to leave this world to search for that person afterward?"

Ning Xunqiu replied warmly, "I just suddenly found that person, and she’s doing well. I can see her anytime."

"I see." Tianshi Xue murmured softly, she knew "Er Tailong" wasn’t a being of this world, then curiously asked, "What’s your true name?"

"Would you like to know?" Ning Xunqiu side-eyed her.

"Yes, yes." Tianshi Xue nodded eagerly, her big eyes filled with anticipation.

Ning Xunqiu pondered for a moment, then smiled, "That, I won’t tell you."

"Thud, thud, thud!"

The little angel was stunned for a moment, then angrily swung her tiny fists, pounding relentlessly on his armor.

"Hahaha," Ning Xunqiu remained unfazed.

The Desperate Will surged in his heart, and a black sword abruptly appeared in his hand, his fingertips brushing over the blade, imprinting the "Breathing Technique" he had comprehended from the "Cyan Heaven Great Sun Burning Qi Scripture" upon it.

He casually tossed the black sword.

Multicolored light burst forth, enveloping the black sword, which then vanished.

...

...

Ning Xunqiu opened his eyes.

[Sword of Despair · Legacy.]

Despair, pain, silence — it’s the end of a world.

Also, a rebirth.

Legacy One: Desperate Breathing Technique · Silent World.

The Judgment Angel absorbs "fear", "pain", "death", all negative desires, refining them into "Desperate Will". When this method is cultivated to break the limit, the ultimate power of the "Sword of Despair" — Silent World can be utilized.

Legacy Two: Silver White Breathing Technique · Primordial Light.

The Primordial Light of the Judgment Angel, cultivated to break the limit, can condense the world-traveling — Wings of Freedom.

Note:

Warning!

Warning!

Every time the "Sword of Despair" is used, the heart will be eroded by the Power of Despair; before the "Silver White Breathing Technique" is cultivated to break the limit, and before the "Immortal Slaying Sword Map" is complete, use the "Sword of Despair" with utmost caution.

Of course, you might not be able to cultivate it to break the limit.

...

Ning Xunqiu didn’t hesitate to grasp the black sword; cold but harmless to him.

This Sword of Despair and the Sword of Chaos are identical, merely a key to open the gate.

Beyond the gate lies the Judgment Angel’s Silent World.

And the essence of the Silent World is the Absolute Will of a Sword Cultivator.

He had glimpsed part of the power of "Absolute Will" within the memory fragments of "Loose Cultivator Qingyun".

It’s a rare force that stands alongside the "Heaven and Earth Tribulation Qi" and can inflict genuine harm upon holy entities, referred to by Qi Cultivators as—Dao Injury!

Great Power must endure long epochs to slowly erode the spirituality within.

Ning Xunqiu was thoroughly satisfied with this Golden Life Achievement Reward.

It even seemed flawless.

"I wonder what it would be like to wield the ’Sword of Despair’ against those who’ve attained the ’Great Dao’ of holy beings?"

"I didn’t obtain the ’Immortal Slaying Sword’ but surprisingly gained an even stronger sword."

Ning Xunqiu sat cross-legged, beginning to focus on restoring his Magical Power, while activating the "Immortal Slaying Sword Map" to initially refine this "Lifebound Sword".

Having already produced the "Immortal Slaying Sword Map", even if he doesn’t cultivate the "Desperate Breathing Technique" to break the limit, he can forcibly use the Silent World of the "Sword of Despair".

With the "Judgment Angel" sufficiently in Sword Dao, he’s set not to tread this path otherwise.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

"I still need to dissolve the Power of Despair deep within me."

Ning Xunqiu slowly opened his eyes, slightly furrowing his brows, the Power of Despair felt like a wild horse that couldn’t be reined in, oppressing him deeply.

He turned to the Celestial Derivation Volume, beginning to deduce the Qingxu Realm’s heavenly secrets.

[For four thousand years, I concentrated on cultivation on Jade Sky Immortal Island; after attaining the Dao, I will fully perfect the Immortal Slaying Sword Map, avoiding death and the disappearance of the Dao.]

[Use permanently one hundred and three thousand seven hundred fortunes to rewrite this segment of life.]

"The amount of fortune needed to alter this fatal misfortune suddenly dropped so much."

Ning Xunqiu’s heart rejoiced.

He grew ever closer to that perfect ending.

Ning Xunqiu slowly stood, the sword manifested by Dongfang Mingyue hovered closely, following him tightly.

He surveyed his surroundings, green mountains and clear waters, vast horizons, his gaze finally settling on the ’Martial Arts Golden Stele.’ A few days ago, Cyan Mountain Saints had returned here, all affairs were proceeding methodically, in an orderly manner.
