Chapter 131: Soul Quenching Spring
“Ah~~” The incomplete sword soul let out a sorrowful and desperate roar, “It’s gone, it’s gone... my Soul Quenching Spring! My…” Suddenly, it transformed into countless sharp sword lights, charging towards Chu Yang.
The sword tips, edges, and blades all struck simultaneously!
With a loud boom, the incomplete sword soul was violently sent flying, while the Sword Spirit was already entangled with it like a shadow. The clash of the two souls resonated with loud thuds.
The incomplete sword soul cried out in despair, “Spare me! I surrender! I am willing to serve the sword master lord and do whatever I can…”
“Please spare me, don’t hit me, don’t devour me…” the incomplete sword soul exclaimed in panic, “I... I have been here alone for sixty thousand years... sixty thousand years…”
“I was once a loyal follower of the sword masters, achieving great feats!” The incomplete sword soul desperately dodged, in a pitiful state; the previous sharpness and arrogance had completely vanished.
If it had taken human form, one could surely see tears streaming down its face…
The Sword Spirit showed no signs of leniency, relentlessly pursuing.
“I gave you a chance! It was your wolfish ambition that led you to betray the sword master, betray the sword body, betray the main body!” The Sword Spirit roared, launching a tide-like assault, “I will not show mercy. Today, I will reclaim you forever!”
“Spare my life... Sword Master, please spare my life…” Seeing that the Sword Spirit showed no signs of letting up, the incomplete sword soul surprisingly began to plead to Chu Yang, “In light of my sixty thousand years of hard-earned intelligence…”
“Ah~~~” Suddenly, a piercing scream turned into a desperate sword cry.
The Sword Spirit had already entangled with the incomplete sword soul, visible as two beams of sword light fought fiercely; one wrapped around desperately to devour, while the other twisted in a desperate attempt to escape…
But how could the Sword Spirit relax?
The two beams of sword light intertwined, rolling from east to west, from south to north.
Finally, the sounds of struggle began to diminish. The Sword Spirit's triumphant voice emerged, “Sixty thousand years to cultivate intelligence, what’s there to boast about?”
The sword lights shifted, creating a dazzling display in the air.
With a swish, the Sword Spirit appeared before Chu Yang. In this space, it was able to manifest.
The incomplete sword soul had been completely devoured; the trace of intelligence that had taken sixty thousand years to emerge had thoroughly vanished, no longer existing.
Chu Yang looked at it and felt that it had changed even more; it was clearly much more solid than when it was in the consciousness space. If he didn’t already know this was a spiritual body, he might almost think that the being before him was a living person with flesh and blood.
“My soul is now completely whole.” The Sword Spirit revealed an extremely human-like smile and said to Chu Yang, “However, this guy, I still need to nurture for some time before I can fully absorb him.”
“Um.” Chu Yang asked, “What exactly is the Soul Quenching Spring?”
The Sword Spirit was silent for a moment before finally saying, “The Soul Quenching Spring is something that does not belong to this world.”
It thought for a moment, as if organizing its thoughts, and continued, “For a long time, there has been a legend in the Nine Heavens Continent that... after people die, their souls exist! And souls have another world! This world is commonly referred to as: the Underworld! Or, the Nether Realm!”
“The Underworld? Does the Underworld really exist?” Chu Yang asked, somewhat surprised.
“The Underworld does not exist,” the Sword Spirit replied, “but the Nether Realm does!”
“What does this mean?” Chu Yang was suddenly a bit confused; isn’t it one and the same?
“The Nether Realm is the Nether Realm, different from the legendary Underworld,” the Sword Spirit said calmly. “It is true that when a person dies, their soul exists, but the souls of ordinary people dissipate before they can even reach the Nether Realm. Therefore, only some stronger souls can get there… It is a strange place! No one can fully describe the specific things there.”
