ZING!
With a slight effort, Su Han pulled the Soul Severing Sword from the spring of blood.
Dark, slender, and ordinary—this was Su Han’s first impression of the Soul Severing Sword.
The Soul Severing Sword was pitch-black from end to end. Both the blade and hilt were incomparably dark, but this was not a pure black. Instead, it seemed to be a darkness born from the reflection of an overwhelming concentration of bloodstains.
The blade was exceptionally long and narrow—longer than an ordinary sword and as thin as a cicada’s wing. Yet, it was not flexible like a Soft Sword. On the contrary, it remained firm and unyielding.
As for ’ordinary,’ that referred to its design. The style was commonplace, the kind seen everywhere on the street, not some bizarre or flashy shape that would attract attention.
But this was merely his first impression; he soon perceived its other qualities: frigid, violent, and annihilating.
Having been nurtured here for many years, the Soul Severing Sword had absorbed a substantial amount of Yin Energy. This made its hilt scorching hot, yet the blade was as cold as ice—a chill that penetrated the marrow and froze the very soul.
Furthermore, this was the Yuelan Ancient Battlefield, a place teeming with Yin Souls and resentment. The sword had not only been nourished by Yin Energy but had also been tainted by this seething hatred, making it extremely violent. It thirsted for slaughter, longing to exterminate all life and destroy the world.
As for ’annihilating,’ the sword radiated an aura of death, as if it could sever a person’s soul and condemn them to Hell for all eternity, with no hope of reincarnation.
While it couldn’t be called a demon sword, it was certainly no treasured blade. It was a malevolent sword—an instrument of great calamity.
At this moment, holding the hilt, Su Han could feel the frenzied resentment continuously assaulting his sea of consciousness, trying to corrupt his mind and drag him into its thirst for slaughter.
Fortunately, Su Han’s will was firm and his Divine Sense was powerful. Moreover, his Slaughter Sword Intent was at the minor accomplishment stage, allowing him to suppress the resentment within the blade. Combined with the fact that the Soul Severing Sword had already accepted him, he could hold it without issue. Had it been anyone else, the sword’s will would have likely dominated them.
"What a fine sword!"
To others, it was a sword of great calamity, but to Su Han, it was a perfect fit. This sword could unleash the full potential of his Slaughter Sword Intent, drastically increasing the power of his Swordsmanship.
Moreover, having been nurtured here for many years, the Soul Severing Sword had successfully transformed into a Low Grade Holy Artifact, and an elite one at that.
This sword was more suitable for Su Han than the Seven Stars Holy Sword. With this weapon at the Sword Dao Conference, Su Han’s confidence grew even greater.
"One Sword Breaks Myriad Spells!"
His warrior’s heart stirred, and Su Han couldn’t restrain himself from using a Divine Method with the Soul Severing Sword.
Augmented by his Slaughter Sword Intent, infused with his Lifebound Sword Qi, and amplified by the inherent power of the blade itself, a five-meter-long beam of Slaughter Sword Qi slashed through the air.
This beam of Slaughter Sword Qi was deep, dark, and utterly frigid. It silently tore open the fabric of space, leaving behind a long, deep fissure that was as straight as a line and as smooth as a mirror.
If this struck an enemy, it would undoubtedly kill them in a single blow.
Truly a Sword of Slaughter!
BOOM!
Just as Su Han was rejoicing over the Soul Severing Sword, a powerful Demonic Might suddenly contracted before explosively expanding, like an erupting volcano or a detonating bomb.
The terrifying force instantly dispersed the surrounding dense fog, shattered the very space, and tore open the dark earth below. Had the million Yin Soldiers still been present, they too would have suffered devastating casualties.
"The seal is broken!"
Su Han suddenly looked up, his gaze fixed in the direction of the Black Blade. Such a commotion could only mean one thing: the Great Majestic Demon King had succeeded. The Second Layer of the seal was about to break. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
WHOOSH!
Upon the Black Blade’s surface, seven illusory chains appeared. These chains were formed from countless Divine Patterns, imbued with a profound spiritual charm and suffused with the aura of the Great Dao.
But at that moment, the luster on one of the Divine Pattern chains dimmed. It gradually turned pitch-black as if corroded, until finally, with a loud CRACK, it shattered into a myriad of light motes and vanished completely.
As the Divine Pattern chain dissipated, the light from the Black Blade surged explosively. It resembled a black sun, shining across eternity and radiating out to the eight corners of the desolate world.
WAIL!
At the same time, innumerable Evil Demons emerged from within the black light. They wailed and roared with fury, as if the very gates of the demon realm had been thrown open, unleashing all the fiends within.
However, these were no ordinary demons. They were Heart Demons, specters born from the depths of one’s own mind.
Countless Heart Demons swirled through the air. From a distance, it looked as if a corner of the demon realm itself had descended upon the world, striking fear into all who beheld it.
Soon, the Heart Demons returned to the Black Blade with great reluctance. All the demonic light vanished along with them, leaving only the weapon hovering in mid-air.
However, the Black Blade’s appearance had now changed slightly. Its hilt had transformed into the likeness of a green-faced, tusked demon. To grasp the hilt now was like taking hold of a demon itself.
At the same time, a Demonic Might as scorching as fire and as ferocious as a storm burst forth from the Black Blade, causing the surrounding space to warp as if unable to withstand its power.
"Supreme Grade Holy Artifact!"
Su Han’s eyes lit up, wild joy flashing across his face. His previous wish had actually come true! After breaking the Second Layer seal, the Black Blade had leaped directly from a Low Grade to a Supreme Grade Holy Artifact. The jump in power was simply immense!
"This feels incredible! I can finally stop hibernating!" Inside the Black Blade, the Great Majestic Demon King’s voice resonated with excitement. With the Second Layer seal broken, his power had also grown much more formidable.
"Great Majestic Demon King, what was all that about with the Heart Demons just now?" Su Han asked, eager to understand the Black Blade’s changes.
"That is the ability gained from breaking the Second Layer seal. It is called Demonification!
"With one swing of the blade, it can trigger the Heart Demons in others. This not only affects them but can also cause them to undergo Demonification and collapse on their own."
The Great Majestic Demon King was in high spirits and happily explained everything to Su Han. fгeewebnovёl.com
Heart Demons are the most difficult to defend against and eliminate. If the Black Blade could truly trigger the Heart Demons of others, then in future battles, Su Han would hold a tremendous advantage.
Moreover, now that the Black Blade had been upgraded to a Supreme Grade Holy Artifact, its Time Magic Pattern had also grown brighter, a clear sign that the temporal power within had become more concentrated.
In addition, the power of the Bloodthirsty Demonic Flame and the Soul Devouring Demon Mist had increased significantly, and the Black Blade’s edge was now even sharper.
SWOOSH!
The Black Blade descended into Su Han’s grasp, and he immediately felt the roiling, magma-like energy within it.
This was Su Han’s first Supreme Grade Holy Artifact. The only regret was that with his current strength, he could only unleash thirty percent of its power. However, this thirty percent was still stronger than what Su Han could previously exert with all his might.
"Break one more layer of the seal, and this blade will ascend to the rank of an Emperor’s Armament!" the Great Majestic Demon King’s voice echoed, igniting a new goal in Su Han’s heart. He hoped Su Han would continue to find him sources of energy to break the seals and achieve his freedom all the sooner.
However, breaking the Second Layer had already been incredibly difficult; breaking the Third Layer would be no simple task. Su Han did not let himself get carried away with ambition.
The Soul Severing Sword is in my hand, my Sword Intent has reached minor accomplishment, and now the Black Blade has broken its Second Layer seal to become a Supreme Grade Holy Artifact... this place truly is my Blessed Land!
With the sword in his left hand and the blade in his right, Su Han’s eyes glinted, his entire being radiating a razor-sharp presence.
His journey to the Yuelan Ancient Battlefield had yielded immense gains
