Swordsman and Strength Level

"If you want to enter the level of Greatsword Cultivation, apart from comprehending the sword aura, you also need to forge a sword embryo. You need to condense the sword aura on the sword embryo and take it into your body to nurture it. Only then can you be considered a true Greatsword Cultivator."

In a secret room, Li Feng took out the Sword of Life. The blade of the sword shone with a faint green light, and a sharp edge appeared.

There was no hesitation.

He activated the Great Yan Sword Sutra and engraved the Immortal Sword Force on it. The body of the sword let out a light buzz, and mysterious runes appeared and disappeared on it. In the end, they turned into lines that outlined a beautiful scene. The sword force was automatically evolving. There were tall mountains that reached into the clouds, as well as long rivers that flowed endlessly. The sun, moon, and stars seemed indestructible as they lay across the land, emitting an ancient and desolate aura.

The originally very simple sword embryo now appeared ancient and extraordinary.

The engraving of the first immortal sword move was very smooth without any obstacles. This made Li Feng subconsciously smile.

"The second path should be engraved with the Devouring Sword Force!"

Right on the heels of that, Li Feng activated the Great Yan Sword Sutra again and engraved the Devouring Sword Formula on it.

Boom!

A black dot had appeared in the center of the Sword of Life. Then, it rapidly expanded. However, at this moment, a change happened.

The speed at which the black dot spread was extremely fast. Soon, it collided with the mountains. A terrifying aura erupted, and a ripple that was visible to the naked eye shot out in all directions.

"I knew it wasn't that simple." Li Feng muttered with a solemn expression.

Ordinary sword cultivators had only comprehended one sword move or two sword moves that complemented each other. Thus, it was very easy to engrave them. Even if there were some obstacles, it was also very easy to overcome.

However, the Devour Sword Move was very overbearing. It had a posture that could devour mountains and rivers. It wanted to devour the mountains, rivers, and sun to strengthen itself.

Now, the two sword moves were engaged in an intense battle on the body of the sword.

Sharp sword glows burst forth and spread in all directions, striking the sturdy wall and leaving extremely deep marks.

This secret room was specially built. Ordinary Awakened-Rank players would find it difficult to break through it. Now, just a few sword rays brushed past it, leaving small pits.

"Fortunately, this Life Sword of mine was completely made of divine-rank materials. Otherwise, I'm afraid it would have completely exploded by now." Li Feng was a little relieved.

Once the Sword Embryo was destroyed, he would have failed his advancement.

The two sword moves clashed for a long time before Li Feng could barely suppress it. His face was covered in sweat and he seemed a little pale.

Although the Immortal Sword Force and the Devour Sword Force were still resisting, the scene outlined by the Immortal Sword Force was already shrinking incessantly. In the end, the two sword forces were clearly separated and occupied half of the swords.

Li Feng was a little hesitant. He didn't know if he should draw a third sword move. This was because once he added in the demonic path's sword move, it would stir the water in the pool even more.

Now that the Devouring Sword Force and the Eternal Sword Force had been maintained at a balance point, if he were to draw the demonic path sword force, it would be like pouring water into boiling oil. It would probably immediately explode.

"This Life Sword should be able to withstand it." In the end, Li Feng still made up his mind to draw the third sword move.

This was because the Life Spirit Wood existed among the materials used to forge the Sword of Life. It had fallen from the tree of life.

Boom! An overbearing sword aura burst forth from Li Feng's body. In the void, a vague shadow appeared. It was a demon king that was extremely overbearing. It was several times more overbearing than the Devouring Sword Intent. It was as if he was the only one in the world.

This black sword force was like a real dragon as it collided with the Sword of Life. Then, the sword exploded on the spot, and the sword body emitted a sound similar to a star exploding.

The demonic path's sword force charged in. It was very bold. At the same time, it provoked the Immortal Sword Force and the Devouring Sword Force. This made Li Feng somewhat speechless.

The Eternal Sword Force and Devour Sword Force that had calmed down with great difficulty had surged once more at this moment, and they both emitted their own might. Multicolored light filled the sky of the chamber, and it was filled with a shocking divine light. Cracks appeared on the walls and ground, as if they were unable to withstand this terrifying might.

Rumble rumble…

Li Feng's ears rang. This was because the Sword of Life was right in front of him. Then, a violent explosion sounded from inside, making him somewhat stunned.

The three great sword auras were constantly clashing, causing him to be extremely worried. He said, "I was a little rash. I hope that the Sword of Life won't break apart because of this. Otherwise, I would have suffered a huge loss."

If such a thing really happened, he would probably regret it.

However, this was a must to become a Swordsman. If the Sword of Life could really contain the three major sword auras, its foundation would be even deeper. At that time, when he absorbed the swords into his body, the benefits to him would be greater. This would be a baptism from the inside out.

Buzz buzz…

The Sword of Life floated in the air as countless sword gleams shot out from it. They were like celestial swords that swept out in all directions, causing even Li Feng to suffer a calamity.

Without a choice, he took the initiative to take action and intercept some of the sword rays. Otherwise, this secret room might explode.

Bang bang. His large palm bloomed with a dazzling light that enveloped those sword rays and simply erased them.

After fighting for more than an hour, the runes on the Sword of Life were separated again. They split into three and occupied a territory.

Li Feng's eyes shone with joy, but at the same time, his heart ached. He could see that there were slight cracks on the Life Sword, and that it had suffered some damage. Furthermore, it had shrunk slightly.

"If it was a sword embryo made of ordinary materials, it would probably have been shattered by now." Li Feng was very glad. "However, even so, there are still cracks on it. As long as the sword is absorbed into the body, the cracks will automatically heal. There won't be any major problems."

As long as he completed the last step of the Greatsword Cultivation, the Sword Embryo would also become an alternate life form that could heal its own injuries and continue to grow.

This was also why the sword immortal system was terrifying. Legend had it that the sword qi stretched out for three thousand li, and the sword alone could wipe out the nineteen Prefectures. This was no longer a legend.

Li Feng formed hand seals with both hands. This was the technique of the Grand Yan Sword Sutra to absorb the swords into his body. Then, streams of light flew out from the tips of his fingers and formed a golden net in the void. It was extremely dazzling and enveloped the Sword of Life.

Pu…

An accident happened. Before the large net could get close, it was torn apart by the sword beam that flew out from the sword embryo. This change made Li Feng's expression change on the spot.

Storing the sword into his body was the last step to becoming a Swordsman. He did not expect to be stuck here.

Li Feng wasn't discouraged and tried again.

Very soon, half an hour passed. His face was even paler as large drops of sweat dripped from his forehead. After more than ten attempts, without any exception, the net had been pierced by the sword Qi. He was unable to complete the last step.

"Other people can easily reach this realm after they become Swordsman and cultivate their sword aura to create a sword embryo. Why is it so magnificent and difficult for me?"

Li Feng was a little tired.

This was already the last step, but he was stopped outside the door.

He stopped and seriously sized up the Sword of Life floating in the void. He did not continue trying but began to think deeply.

"If I don't complete the last step, I won't be able to transform. I'll even have to give up my Life Sword." He was very distressed now.

This was a surprise that had never happened before. Even if he returned to the Ten Thousand Swords Immortal Domain and captured those sword immortals to interrogate them, he would probably be dumbstruck by such a thing.

Li Feng stared straight at the Sword of Life and felt helpless. Anything that approached the Sword of Life would be shattered because there were two extremely domineering sword auras inside that didn't allow anything else to get close to it. He cursed in his heart, "If you're so domineering, why don't you beat yourself up?"

Upon thinking of this, he was stunned for a moment. "They share the same roots. How could I have forgotten about this?"

In the next moment, he made another hand seal and a large net that shone with dazzling light condensed. However, this time, the golden net did not immediately pounce on the Sword of Life.

A strange energy spread out from Li Feng's body and assimilated into the golden net. He activated his innate skill, "Transmutation". The process was very smooth, as if he was born with it and was extremely familiar with it.

The aura of the golden net gradually distorted, emitting an aura that was like a sword of life. Then, the golden net slowly approached the Sword of Life.

"There's a show…" Li Feng's eyes lit up.

This was because the golden net was already very close to the Life Sword. The Life Sword had yet to resist.

Swoosh!

The golden net completely enveloped the Sword of Life. The blade of the sword constantly emitted a light tremble, but there were no further abnormalities.

"Retract!" Li Feng formed a seal and completed the final round. Then, the large net dragged the Sword of Life and charged towards Li Feng's forehead.

There was a buzz.

Li Feng's sparkling forehead shone with a dazzling light. Golden light shone in all directions, illuminating the entire secret room. From afar, he looked like a living Buddha, extremely holy.

However, this holy situation did not last long.

Bang bang… Sounds of metal colliding rang out from Li Feng's body. In the next moment, he spat out a mouthful of black blood. His body gradually split open as blood seeped out.

Li Feng really wanted to curse out loud. The transformation this time was too intense. The three great sword auras on the Sword of Life erupted and penetrated his body from top to bottom. The three great sword auras were like three true dragons that rampaged about and underwent a complete baptism. Furthermore, the changes were very obvious.

He could sense that all his meridians had been broken, and countless pores in his body were spitting out blood. His organs were no exception. They had been torn open one after another, and he was severely injured. He coughed up blood consecutively, but all he spat out was black blood that emitted a foul smell and strong corrosive properties.

After a while, he turned into a bloody person, as if he had been fished out of a sea of blood.

This kind of violent baptism wasn't something that an ordinary person could withstand. It was only because Li Feng had formed the Immortal Sword Body and was constantly repairing it that his life was in danger.

This kind of baptism lasted for a long time before it ended. Li Feng's body bloomed with light again, and all the blood on his body dispersed. His sparkling and translucent body was revealed once more, and there was even a layer of light on it. It was gorgeous and low-key.

An unprecedentedly powerful aura erupted from Li Feng's body. Golden light flowed out of his eyes, and a seven-colored divine light extended from his sparkling forehead. The Sword of Life was growing on his forehead.

In fact, the seven-colored divine light was the radiance emitted by the Sword of Life itself.

The next moment, with a thought from Li Feng, the Sword of Life rushed out of his forehead. Like a bolt of lightning, it was extremely fast, and as if it had teleported, it pierced through the wall of the secret room. Without any hindrance, it broke through a hole, and light shone in.

"It's so sharp." Li Feng was shocked. This chamber was made of many rare materials and was extremely sturdy. However, in the face of the Sword of Life, it was as simple as cutting tofu.

This made him extremely happy. With just this move, he could kill most experts of the same level.

Right on the heels of that, he flipped through the Great Yan Sword Sutra. The sword scripture he had obtained was complete, and it contained the entire sword immortal system. In the past, his strength was insufficient, so he was unable to read the rest of the scriptures.

At this moment, he had already stepped into the level of Greatsword Cultivation. He could see the path ahead.

"Sword Immortal, Sword Soul?"

Very quickly, Li Feng understood the following realms. After Sword Cultivation, one would reach the Sword Immortal realm. Meanwhile, if he wanted to become a Sword Immortal, he needed to comprehend the Sword Soul.

Above the power of the sword was the sword soul. If he could comprehend the sword soul, the Sword of Life would have its own consciousness. When released, it could take the initiative to fight the enemy without Li Feng controlling it.

However, wanting to comprehend a Sword Soul was extremely difficult. Thus, after so many years, it was difficult for a Sword Immortal to appear in the Ten Thousand Swords Immortal Domain.

This was because this was a qualitative change. By comprehending a sword soul, one could bestow a divine sword's soul. It was a different way of creating life. It could be considered a great miracle. If not for the fact that the cultivation of the sword immortal lineage complemented the sword embryo and their minds were connected, it would have been difficult to realize such a method.

Then, Li Feng flipped through the book a few more times and tried to understand it with his heart. He realized that there wasn't a very detailed division of strength in the Sword Cultivation Realm.

He could be said to be at the Primary Stage of the Swordsman Realm, or the peak of the Swordsman Realm. As long as he comprehended the Sword Soul, he could cross another level.

"I wonder if I can extract the sword soul from the game?" Li Feng thought of his own uniqueness and thought silently.

He felt that although his strength had changed quite a bit after he had stepped into the Greatsword Cultivation Realm and could be called 'Supremacy' in the Awakened Rank, it was still much weaker than the Destruction Rank.

"Can I be said to be invincible among the Awakened-Rank players now?" Li Feng muttered to himself. He felt that his strength was enough to deal with Zhou Ping.

Of course, the premise was that the Lightning Gobzan had not reached the Destruction Rank.

Then, Li Feng looked at his attribute panel. There were new changes to the immortal system panel.
