“Boom!”
In the next moment, a surge of sword intent soared into the sky, piercing through the deep rock, almost splitting the entire ground apart, shocking the world.
If it weren't for Qin Chen cultivating underground, just the aura of sword intent released would be enough to break through the clouds, allowing people within a hundred miles to see it clearly.
The sword intent gradually converged, unexpectedly condensing into a long sword in front of Qin Chen. This was a long sword formed from the condensation of sword intent, exuding a terrifying aura, almost cutting the void apart.
“The sword intent has solidified. I didn’t expect to achieve this so quickly. The Seven Leaf Sword Grass is indeed an extraordinary treasure for swordsmen.”
Shaking off the dust from his body, Qin Chen stood tall, his eyes opened, the void trembling as if an ancient sword that had been dust-covered for a hundred years was unsheathed, shining brightly across the world.
He was emanating a terrifying sword intent from head to toe, his eyes sparkling like two sharp swords piercing through the void.
In his right hand, he grasped the long sword formed from the sword intent, and with a single stroke, Qin Chen slashed out.
“Crack!”
Sword light surged, and the rock was directly sliced open, creating a massive chasm dozens of yards long, almost cutting the entire underground cavern, its power terrifying.
“The solidification of sword intent, turning into substance. In my previous life, I only reached this realm at the peak of mid-seventh level, but unexpectedly in this life, I reached it as a late-sixth level Martial Venerable. The Seven Leaf Sword Grass is indeed formidable.”
The ability to solidify sword intent actually has two reasons. The first is that Qin Chen's comprehension of sword intent has reached an extremely deep level; calling it a complete mastery of sword intent would no longer suffice.
The second reason is the Seven Leaf Sword Grass, which contains an exceedingly profound aura of sword intent. Ordinary swordsmen need to rely on the grass to comprehend the essence of sword intent, but Qin Chen doesn’t need that; he only requires the absorption of the sword intent aura within the grass.
Three Seven Leaf Sword Grasses contain a powerful aura of Sword Dao, which allowed his sword intent to condense into substance.
The solidification of sword intent marks a brand new realm, significantly boosting Qin Chen's combat power beyond its previous levels, even without an increase in cultivation.
“Now, even if I encounter a seventh-level Martial King, I can face them head-on.”
If previously Qin Chen relied on the Demon Armor for strong defense and was not afraid of ordinary seventh-level Martial Kings, now Qin Chen's attack power has also reached the seventh-level Martial King realm, with the integration of solidified sword intent being enough to easily injure Martial King experts.
“The solidification of sword intent is a gradual process. Without these three sword grasses, it’s likely I wouldn’t be able to reach this realm without surpassing Martial King.”
“Unfortunately, while my sword intent has improved, I haven’t obtained any miraculous herbs that can elevate my Martial Venerable realm; otherwise, I would be able to challenge the seventh-level Martial King realm.”
Qin Chen sighed. The Nine Star Divine Emperor Art is too extraordinary, leading to his required true power far exceeding that of ordinary martial artists. Moreover, it’s not just the quantity of true power; even the quality of true power is on an entirely different level from ordinary martial artists.
The yin-yang red fruit and other spiritual herbs he previously obtained could allow You Qianxue and the others to reach half-step Martial King or even seventh-level Martial King realms, but they had no effect on him.
“There are three Seven Leaf Sword Grasses left; I can continue to refine them.”
Next, Qin Chen did not leave but spent a few more days to refine two of the remaining Seven Leaf Sword Grasses.
