Invincible!
Ye Xuan’s expression turned odd.
What the hell was this?
He’d been to the Divine Battlefield, but he hadn’t noticed this guy.
In the distance, the man suddenly laughed, staring at Ye Xuan’s Qingxuan Sword. “When this sword appeared in the Divine Battlefield, the countless battle intents in me boiled! They crave a fight!”
Ye Xuan glanced at the man. “You are?”
The man grinned, “War God! A name I gave myself. Pretty badass, right? Haha…”
Ye Xuan: “…”
Little Tower suddenly chimed in, “Finally, someone even weirder than Tian Ye!”
Ye Xuan’s face darkened. “Leave the guy alone!”
Little Tower: “…”
Ye Xuan looked at the man, hesitated, then asked, “As far as I know, the Six Realms have plenty of strong fighters. Why not go there directly?”
“The Six Realms!”
A flicker of disdain crossed the man’s eyes. “Once I deal with the sword’s forger, I’ll sweep through the Six Realms, showing those ants what true power is!”
Ye Xuan felt a headache coming on. “Why not sweep the Six Realms first?”
The man looked at Ye Xuan. “What, the sword’s forger too scared to show?”
Ye Xuan thought for a moment, then said, “How about we spar?”
The man glanced at Ye Xuan, his eyes dripping with scorn. “You? Worthy?”
Ye Xuan: “…”
The man’s expression grew cold. “I’m done wasting time with you. Get the forger out here, now!”
Ye Xuan didn’t bother with more talk. He vanished from his spot, and a sword light slashed down from above the man’s head.
Call for Qing’er?
He wasn’t about to do that. Not just anyone could meet Qing’er!
Seeing Ye Xuan attack, the man frowned. “You dare strike me…”
His voice cut off as he clenched his right fist and swung upward!
The punch unleashed a terrifying force, laced with overwhelming battle intent!
Then, Ye Xuan’s sword descended!
He used the Qingxuan Sword!
Facing this mysterious figure, he didn’t dare underestimate him!
As Ye Xuan’s sword struck—
**Boom!**
A burst of sword light erupted, and the man was sent flying thousands of zhang. When he stopped, his right hand was split Ascended by a flash of lightning, blood spurting everywhere!
The man froze!
Ye Xuan froze too!
Did he just cripple this guy’s hand with one strike?
The man stared at Ye Xuan in disbelief. “You…”
Ye Xuan said gravely, “Are you too weak, or am I too strong?”
The man: “…”
Ye Xuan’s expression grew strange. He had to admit, he was a bit stunned.
He’d thought this guy was a master, but now, he didn’t seem like one at all!
In the distance, the man looked at Ye Xuan, still incredulous. “This… how… it’s impossible!”
His voice surged as he leapt forward, charging at Ye Xuan. Reaching him, his left fist clenched and swung at Ye Xuan’s face.
The punch unleashed countless battle intents, making the surrounding space boil!
Ye Xuan didn’t hesitate, flicking his thumb.
The Qingxuan Sword slashed out!
Boom!
Before the man could react, the sword sent him flying nearly ten thousand zhang. When he stopped, his left hand was shredded.
Now both hands were gone!
In the distance, Ye Xuan was a bit speechless.
Damn it!
He’d thought this was a master, but it turned out to be a poser!
And this guy wanted to challenge Qing’er?
The man, dazed in the distance, muttered, “This… how…?”
Ye Xuan glanced at the near-mad man. “Did you train wrong?”
The man looked up, roaring, “Shut up, ant!”
And he charged at Ye Xuan again!
Ye Xuan sighed, flicking his thumb once more. The Qingxuan Sword flew out, faster this time. The man’s pupils shrank—he tried to act but realized he had no hands!
Swoosh!
The Qingxuan Sword pierced his chest!
Boom!
In an instant, he was pinned to the fabric of space.
It was over!
The man stared ahead, muttering, “How… is this… possible…”
Ye Xuan frowned, sensing something off. He’d felt the man’s battle intent—it was terrifying, enough to unsettle him!
But his strength was abnormally weak!
What went wrong?
Suddenly, the man’s chest split open. A blood-red, pulsing heart floated out, brimming with endless battle intent!
Ye Xuan frowned. “A Heart of Battle Intent?”
The man stared at the heart, still dazed. “I’ve forged a Heart of Battle Intent… why… why is this happening…”
Little Tower spoke up, “Did you only absorb battle intent?”
The man looked at Ye Xuan. “Is there a problem with that?”
Little Tower paused, then said, “You absorbed battle intent but didn’t train your strength, right?”
The man grew more confused. “What’s wrong with that?”
Little Tower sighed softly, “You… you’re a real piece of work!”
The man: “…”
Ye Xuan, puzzled, asked, “Little Tower, what’s going on?”
Little Tower explained, “It’s simple! This guy absorbed battle intent for 120,000 years but didn’t train at all! He just soaked up battle intent… It’s like a martial artist who only practices forms without building inner strength. Sure, he’s not weak, but against a real master, he’s nothing.”
Ye Xuan frowned. “That analogy’s off. Try another.”
Little Tower, exasperated, thought for a moment, then continued, “Basically, he absorbed battle intent but didn’t cultivate power. His battle intent is strong, but what’s the use if there’s no strength to back it up? It’s like eating rice without any dishes!”
Ye Xuan frowned again. “What kind of analogy is that?”
Little Tower snapped, “I’m just a tower!”
Ye Xuan: “…”
In the distance, the man’s voice trembled, “I… did I train wrong?”
Ye Xuan looked at him, “You didn’t train wrong—you didn’t train at all!”
The man: “…”
Ye Xuan was a bit speechless too. Someone who only absorbed battle intent for ages without training? Sure, he had plenty of battle intent… but what good was it? He’d gotten it all backwards!
The man suddenly looked at Ye Xuan, “Then… what do I do?”
Ye Xuan thought for a moment, then said, “Easy! Your Heart of Battle Intent isn’t much use to you, but give it to me, and I’ll make it shine!”
The man raged, “You want to steal my Heart of Battle Intent? You dare, you—”
Ye Xuan’s Qingxuan Sword suddenly pierced the man’s brow.
**Swoosh!**
The man froze, unable to move. His soul began rapidly dissolving into the Qingxuan Sword!
He glared at Ye Xuan, “How could you do this!”
Ye Xuan said seriously, “You came for me first!”
The man: “…”
Seeing the man try to speak again, Ye Xuan waved his hand, and the Qingxuan Sword fully absorbed his soul!
After consuming the soul, Ye Xuan opened his palm, and the Qingxuan Sword returned to him. He looked at the Heart of Battle Intent and murmured, “How do I use this?”
Little Tower said, “Just absorb it!”
Absorb it directly!
Ye Xuan thought it over, then willed a strand of sword intent to envelop the Heart of Battle Intent. It sank into his chest.
**Boom!**
Instantly, boundless battle intent erupted from Ye Xuan’s body!
His eyes widened, his body trembling violently. Soon, he absorbed much of the battle intent. He’d once comprehended battle intent himself, but compared to this, his was pathetically weak!
No comparison at all!
Though he’d grasped battle intent before, he’d later focused on sword intent, so his battle intent was feeble.
Ye Xuan entered Little Tower, sat cross-legged, and activated his bloodline power. The battle intent was so overwhelming that his body struggled to contain it. He needed his bloodline to suppress it, absorbing it gradually.
Time ticked by. After an unknown stretch, the battle intent around Ye Xuan calmed. He’d absorbed most of it.
Three days later.
Ye Xuan, still seated, opened his eyes. The space before him boiled!
**Battle Intent!**
He’d fully absorbed the Heart of Battle Intent, and his own heart had become one.
He was thrilled!
The battle intent was incredibly strong. Absorbing it had boosted his overall strength by at least a full tier. In future fights, this battle intent would be one of his trump cards!
Battle intent amassed over 120,000 years!
Thinking of it, Ye Xuan couldn’t help but grin!
This was just too perfect!
As a thought struck, Ye Xuan opened his palm, and the Qingxuan Sword appeared. A terrifying wave of battle intent enveloped him, making the sword tremble slightly under its influence!
Fight!
His eyes tinged red—not from his bloodline, but from the battle intent’s activation, stirring an urge to battle!
At that moment, he even felt he could take on Qing’er!
Realizing this thought, Ye Xuan jolted, quickly retracting the battle intent!
Damn it!
This battle intent made him cocky!
Now he understood why that guy was so arrogant. The battle intent played a big part…
…
