Chapter 220 Sword Intent! Shocking the Ferocious Beasts!_1

Early in the morning, Xu Ran woke up feeling full of strength.

Indeed, women are a man's portable charger.

And Xiaowu was still in deep sleep.

Her eyes closed, cheeks flushed with a rosy hue, a few strands of hair gently brushing her face, adding an alluring charm.

Perhaps sensing Xu Ran's movements, Xiaowu also opened her sleepy eyes.

"Baby, sleep a bit longer," Xu Ran said tenderly as he stroked Xiaowu's hair.

Last night, to delve into philosophy, he and Xiaowu had stayed up late.

As an Auspicious Beast of immense strength, he felt no discomfort, but Xiaowu was now in a transformed state and quite frail.

"Mmm," Xiaowu murmured in response, gave Xu Ran a gentle kiss on his forehead, then pulled the quilt tighter around her and continued to sleep.

"Silly girl." Xu Ran smiled, dressed in his robe, opened the window to let the fresh air from the lakeside disperse the lingering smell in the room.

Then Xu Ran went outside the small island.

And started practicing swordsmanship.

As his strength continued to grow, he gained more from the "Fundamental Sword Technique: Hundred Interpretations." Although it was a basic sword technique, it was the source of all sword techniques in the world. From simple to complex and back to simple again…

For a strong fighter, sword techniques are only about the actions of stabbing, lifting, cutting, and so on.

Against an enemy, one strike can locate and exploit their weakness.

One sword to break all methods!

Xu Ran wielded his long sword, filling the sky with a myriad of sword shadows.

At this moment, even Xu Ran himself was unaware that he had entered a peculiar state.

This must be the so-called State of Enlightenment!

Previously, Xu Ran's buffs could be used by Zhu Qing and the others, but he couldn't enjoy the benefits of enlightenment himself.

However, being destined by the heavens, Xu Ran had a great chance of entering a State of Enlightenment. As long as he truly dedicated himself to cultivation, it wouldn't be a problem to enter this state every two to three months on average.

Especially after obtaining the Kirin Auspicious Beast Bloodline, Xu Ran faced virtually no bottlenecks in his training. As soon as enough Soul Power was accumulated, breakthroughs would naturally follow.

"Ding, congratulations, 'Host,' on comprehending Sword Intent from the 'Fundamental Sword Technique: Hundred Interpretations.' Beyond Sword Intent, there is also Sword Domain, Sword Origin, and Sword Principle. The latter two are something that divine beings might comprehend. Having a Sword Domain is a powerful realm, and not every Titled Douluo may have it. Those Titled Douluo with a Domain are extremely powerful," the System Miss explained to Xu Ran, surprised that he had so quickly grasped Sword Intent which was legendary! She then briefly explained it to Xu Ran.

Sword Intent is a realm below Sword Domain.

In the current world, only the Sword Douluo with the Killing Domain could be said to possess a Sword Domain.

And now that Xu Ran has realized Sword Intent, he is not far from possessing a Domain.

And even so, Xu Ran, with Sword Intent, could now be considered the second best among soul masters with the Sword Martial Spirit.

For his Sword Intent is extraordinary. In less than a year in Soul Land, Xu Ran had already reached such heights. Given more time, it would be an effortless matter for him to understand Domains.

Even, perhaps, Xu Ran might comprehend the Sword Origin before becoming a divine being. The power of the Origin is Divine Power, the Origin of Destruction, Source of Massacre… Many origins are controlled by various Divine Kings.

If Xu Ran could possess an Origin early on, he would have an extremely terrifying combat ability.

In Soul Land, only gods could control Origin, and only by becoming a god and receiving a God-gifted Spirit Ring could one control such power. But Xu Ran was an outsider, not bound by the laws of Soul Land, and with the System Miss by his side, achieving this step ahead of time wasn't impossible.

A clear and pleasant voice suddenly appeared in Xu Ran's mind.

However, Xu Ran was unaffected and remained in that state.

At this moment, Xu Ran released his Martial Soul, and four pitch-black Soul Rings rose in spirals from beneath his feet.

"Slaughter Sword Intent," Xu Ran murmured with a grim expression, dressed in a black robe, now seeming like a demonic figure executing slaughter. In his hands, the "Godslayer Sword" held a towering blood-red Sword Qi. Within that Sword Qi, it was as if countless people were crying, sending chills down one's spine!

This was something Xu Ran had suddenly come to understand.

Each of his soul rings represented an attribute. And Sword Intent could be combined with these attributes to produce a unique Sword Intent.

The first soul ring, Blood Kill, represented the Slaughter Sword Intent.

The second soul ring, Star Concealment, represented the Void Sword Intent.

The third soul ring, Sword Qi Across, represented the Myriad Sword Intent.

The fourth soul ring, Destruction God Sword, embodied the Destruction Sword Intent.

"Destruction Sword Intent," Xu Ran whispered, holding the "Godslayer Sword" in his hand, when suddenly his eyes turned a fierce red, and a swath of pitch-black Sword Qi slashed forward. That Sword Qi seemed to be able to destroy everything, giving the impression that one's very will was being obliterated.

The dark Sword Qi hit a large boulder in front of him, which instantaneously turned to dust.

"However, the other two Sword Intents are too ethereal and elusive. It's like I'm about to grasp them, but they remain slightly out of reach," Xu Ran muttered to himself, deep in thought, following the guidance of his own heart, seeking to comprehend those two Sword Intents.

He had heard System's Miss Sister mention that in the world, time was divine, space was sacred. Everything else was the powerful origins of slaughter, destruction, life, kindness, and evil. In the Divine Realm, there were the Destruction God King, the Evil God King, the Life Goddess, the Goddess of Kindness, and the Asura God that controlled the Source of Massacre.

But no divine beings existed that controlled the origins of time and space.

If Xu Ran could control these, becoming a god in the future, he could suppress all other gods. In the Divine Realm, the strength of the gods depended on the power of the origin attributes they inherited.

And the Myriad Sword Intent was likewise an incredibly powerful Sword Intent—holding one sword as if commanding ten thousand, akin to an upgraded version of the Sword Douluo's Returning Swords to Ancestry.

System's Miss Sister had anticipated this scene when selecting soul rings for Xu Ran, so the first three soul rings given to him were carefully chosen.

"What's happening? My Lord..." At that moment, numerous ferocious beasts, along with Auspicious Beasts, were drawn to Xu Ran's side, sensing the aura emanating from him.

Although the aura wasn't strong, the power of that attribute was exceedingly pure and condensed. The quantity might not be large, but the quality was extraordinarily high.

"Slaughter attribute."

"Destruction attribute."

Di Tian could only look on in shock at Xu Ran. He was well aware of how terrible these two attributes were.

These were the attributes controlled by the two great God Kings of the Divine Realm. Normally, a person would never possess both attributes at the same time—having just one was terrifying enough.

And he noticed that the purity of the attributes Xu Ran controlled was terrifying; it seemed devoid of any impurity.

Although limited by Xu Ran's current power, these attributes were far from posing a threat to them.

However, the purity of the attributes indicated how high Xu Ran could potentially rise in the future!

"Is this the power of an Auspicious Beast? Terrifying."

"Even though he is at the Cultivation Level of a Soul Ancestor, I feel as if his true combat power could almost match that of a human Soul Douluo."

The soul beasts were astonished and exclaimed as they looked at Xu Ran.

Even if they went through a transformation to become ferocious beasts, as Soul Ancestors, possessing the combat power of a Soul Emperor was their limit. The chasm between their cultivation levels couldn't be bridged by ordinary means.

Soul Ancestor, Soul King, Soul Emperor, Soul Sage, Soul Douluo!

How vast was the gap between them?

And Xu Ran, being an Auspicious Beast, probably commanded forbidden-level powers to have such terrifying combat strength across so many levels.

"So powerful, even I feel threatened," Wang Qiu'er blinked her bright eyes, staring blankly at the scene. An Auspicious Beast of five hundred years would definitely not have less combat power than a regular soul beast of fifty thousand years.

But in that moment, even she felt a hint of threat.
