Chapter 445 First Enlightenment of the Way of the Sword
Without any fancy moves, just like chopping bamboo with a woodcutter's axe, Chu Yunfan transformed himself into a sword, cutting through the towering giant feet that seemed to support the sky, his sword light pointing directly at the Demon Saint's brow.
This was a very strange state, and even Chu Yunfan could not describe how he felt at this moment.
He is clearly a sword.
A sword that you can see and touch.
A sword that is moving through the enormous body of the Demon Saint.
However, it felt like an out-of-body experience.
With a thought, Chu Yunfan's soul detached from his physical body, forming another invisible sword that directly entered the opponent Demon Saint's sea of souls to annihilate his soul body.
The powerful Demon Saint realm expert who was Chu Yunfan's opponent was clearly not expected to see this happen.
This demon saint could clearly sense that Chu Yunfan had transformed into a sword and was passing through his body.
But at the same time, another identical sword appeared before his soul body without warning.
However, despite being surprised by what he saw, the powerful demon saint showed no fear; instead, a smile appeared in his eyes.
"At the mere Martial Emperor realm, relying on a little skill and talent, being able to rival a Saint realm expert is already the limit."
"How dare you be so arrogant, daring to challenge me, a Saint, with your Martial Emperor realm soul! I'll make sure your soul is annihilated!"
As his thoughts raced, a hand composed purely of soul power appeared within the sea of souls of this powerful demon saint.
The next instant, the palm of the soul struck the sword that Chu Yunfan had transformed into.
In an instant, Chu Yunfan was shaken to his core, his mind buzzing.
An unimaginable pressure appeared out of nowhere, almost rendering Chu Yunfan powerless to resist.
Chu Yunfan's soul, although it was already powerful enough to be just one step away from the Saint Realm.
But this step is an insurmountable barrier.
As mentioned before, a person has three souls: the human soul, the earth soul, and the heaven soul.
Among them, the human soul exists within the body from birth.
The Earth Soul lies hidden deep within the earth, merging with the Human Soul when a cultivator breaks through to the Martial Emperor Realm, thus strengthening the cultivator's soul.
As for the Heavenly Soul, it exists in the endless void.
The most important step for a cultivator to break through to the Saint Realm is to find their Heavenly Soul in the endless void and merge it with their Human Soul and Earthly Soul.
In this way, the human soul, the earth soul, and the heaven soul merge, and the cultivator will possess a truly complete soul, be qualified to enter the holy realm, and from then on, life and death will no longer be controlled by heaven and earth, and can live as long as heaven and earth.
Of course, this is only one aspect.
The Heavenly Soul itself is the most powerful of the three souls in the human body, even more powerful than the Human Soul and Earthly Soul combined.
Moreover, the reason why the Heavenly Soul is called the Heavenly Soul is because it, like the heavens, possesses the attribute of supreme majesty.
If we compare the human soul and the earth soul to ordinary people...
Therefore, the Heavenly Soul is like an emperor.
To be precise, it's the throne.
After a cultivator's soul merges with the Heavenly Soul, it's like a mortal ascending the throne and becoming an emperor.
When facing ordinary people, the emperor naturally possesses an inviolable aura of authority, looking down on them with an imposing presence.
Just like at this moment, the sword formed from Chu Yunfan's soul was being suppressed by the soul palm condensed from the power of the Demon Saint's soul.
In fact, in terms of strength, the sword formed from Chu Yunfan's soul is almost equal to this soul palm.
However, Chu Yunfan clearly felt a powerful pressure from the darkness suppressing him, making him unable to resist the Palm of the Soul.
Chu Yunfan even felt his fighting spirit inexplicably weakening, and the thought of giving up suddenly appeared in his mind.
Just like ordinary people facing an emperor, they are naturally suppressed and unconsciously feel fear.
This suppressive force is inexplicable and indescribable, yet it truly exists.
"Is this the wonder of the Heavenly Soul?"
Chu Yunfan thought to himself silently.
However, they showed no sign of backing down.
What is a sword?
The sword represents fearlessness and unwavering progress.
I don't care if you're an emperor or not, I'll kill you with my own sword.
Thus, under the horrified gaze of the powerful Demon Saint...
The sword formed from Chu Yunfan's soul suddenly surged in power, piercing through his soul palm.
Then it passed through his soul body.
"How can this be?"
At this moment, the same question arose in the mind of the previous Demon Saint.
He couldn't understand how Chu Yunfan could suddenly unleash such powerful strength.
In fact, this is the power of belief.
Or perhaps it is the power of the heart.
This sounds like a fantasy.
How can the heart possibly have power?
But that's the truth.
For those who cultivate swordsmanship, cultivating the mind is of paramount importance.
The stronger your will, the stronger your power.
As ordinary people, some people would bow and scrape before the emperor, trembling with fear.
But some people are fearless.
A common man, in a fit of rage, dares to behead the emperor.
This is the power of the heart.
Mysterious, and powerful.
Previously, Chu Yunfan was unfamiliar with this kind of power.
However, since he began to comprehend the way of the sword, Chu Yunfan has felt the power of this force more and more.
Especially at this moment, after twice transforming himself into a sword to slay the Martial Saint, Chu Yunfan had gained even more insights.
The Demon Saint is dead, but Chu Yunfan remains in the form of a sword, motionless, inside the Demon Saint's corpse.
Countless thoughts flashed through Chu Yunfan's mind.
The light of enlightenment began to shine.
Finally, at a certain moment, Chu Yunfan moved, as if he had realized something.
Immediately afterwards, a dazzling light burst forth from the sword.
A series of sword cries rang out, accompanied by ripples of chilling sword energy.
The sword energy transformed into musical notes, resounding throughout the void.
My heart is like a sword, as firm as diamond, and as solid as a rock.
With the Great Dao in one's heart, Heaven and Earth cannot be changed.
The way of the sword is the way of my heart!
The sound rang out, and the world trembled.
The rules of swordsmanship are faintly visible in the starry sky, and countless sword energies form out of thin air, crisscrossing in all directions.
This startled all the powerful demon saints and sword saints who were engaged in fierce combat.
All the powerful demon saints immediately abandoned their opponents, gathered together, and looked around warily.
The commotion just now led them to mistakenly believe that a powerful Sword Emperor had arrived.
As for the sword saints of the Qingyun Sword Sect, they looked around with great surprise.
Just a moment ago, they all sensed the aura of swordsmanship.
Swordsmanship is the symbol of a powerful sword emperor.
Only those at the Emperor Realm, the strongest in their class, can comprehend the existence of the Dao.
However, to the astonishment of all the powerful demon saints and sword saints,
The sword energy between heaven and earth appeared for only a moment before suddenly disappearing without a trace, as if it were an illusion.
However, how could a powerful being in the Holy Realm possibly experience hallucinations?
Especially with so many powerful beings at the Saint Realm, it's even less likely that they would all experience hallucinations at the same time.
For a moment, all the sword saints and demon saints looked at each other, at a loss for what to do.
However, it only lasted for a moment.
The figures of all the powerful figures at the Demon Saint Realm suddenly vanished without a trace.
