Chapter 387: Chapter 387: The 14th Sword Heart
As the powerful Tiger King lunged at him, Yang Xiaotian did not even look its way. Wielding the Eternal Night Sword in his hand, he swept it forth, and instantly, a beam of Eternal Night Sword Light flashed and disappeared.
A column of blood gushed forth, and the head of the Tiger King that had been pouncing his way had rolled onto the ground.
Even though Yang Xiaotian had not yet opened up a single acupoint, with the incredibly thick True Yuan from his two Divine Elixir Golden Cores, he could easily slaughter Martial Venerable fourth, fifth, and even sixth level Fierce Beasts.
When the head of the Tiger King hit the ground, a ray of light entered his Assessment Token.
Within the spatial confines of his Assessment Token, there was now an additional sphere of light.
As long as he hunted enough to total a thousand Fierce Beasts, his Assessment Token would then hold a thousand spheres of light, and he would pass the assessment.
Yang Xiaotian continued forward, not bothering to conceal his presence as he walked leisurely.
Although there were Fierce Beasts within the Secret Realm at the tenth level of the Venerable Realm, with his current combat strength and defenses, he feared not even those at the tenth level of the Venerable Realm.
Not long after, he encountered another Fierce Beast.
This one, a bit weaker than the Tiger King he had just faced, was only at the second level of the Venerable Realm, yet Yang Xiaotian dispatched it with a single sword stroke too.
He did not use the Heaven-Penetrating Sword Technique, nor the Thunderclap Nine Heavens, nor the Azure God Sword Technique, but instead wielded the Eternal Night Sword Technique.
In these days on the road, he had fully mastered the Eternal Night Sword Technique, and he was one step away from completely understanding the Eternal Night Sword Dao. Once done, he would be able to condense the fourteenth Sword Heart.
Therefore, Yang Xiaotian intended to use these Fierce Beasts to refine his Eternal Night Sword Technique.
To thoroughly comprehend the Eternal Night Sword Dao.
To condense the fourteenth Sword Heart within this Secret Realm.
“With a swing, Eternal Night is summoned.” Under Yang Xiaotian’s sword, the space around him instantly fell into eternal darkness, and Sword Qi burst forth from within the night, piercing through layers of space. A Fierce Beast four levels into the Venerable Realm, several miles away, was sent flying.
By the time it hit the ground, its life had ended.
A sword wound was evident through the beast’s forehead.
At its death, its eyes were wide open in shock and surprise.
But such one-on-one combat was dull and hardly refined his Eternal Night Sword Technique. Thus, Yang Xiaotian unleashed his Soul Power in search of packs of beasts.
He sought a particularly large group—at least several hundred strong.
Other disciples sought to avoid beast packs upon entering, but Yang Xiaotian aimed to find them.
Through perseverance and slaughter of dozens of Fierce Beasts, Yang Xiaotian finally found a massive beast pack.
This pack contained three to four hundred Fierce Beasts, all Silver Moon Wolves. Known for strong attacks and swift movements, these pack-hunting Fierce Beasts were dreaded by warriors who would normally steer clear.
The weakest in a pack of Silver Moon Wolves were at the fifth level of the Venerable Realm, but Yang Xiaotian was thrilled by the hunt and plunged directly into the midst of the pack.
Instantly, blood rained down.
With the full might of the Eternal Night Sword, its black luminescence surged like a sea, enveloping all the Silver Moon Wolves.
Beneath the cover of eternal night, one could not see their own hand, yet Yang Xiaotian could distinctly sense the location of each Silver Moon Wolf—and even see clearly each attack made by them.
Within this eternal night, he was the supreme Dominator.
And his presence, as if disappearing into the eternal darkness, could not be sensed by the Silver Moon Wolves at all.
Such was the terrifying might of the Eternal Night Sword.
“Darkness Dominates!”
“Traceless in the Void!”
“Sword Bursting Rivers and Mountains!”
…
“With a swing, Light Emerges!”
Yang Xiaotian relished in the performance of the Eternal Night Sword Technique, his Sword Qi continually flashing within the night.
With every stroke, a Silver Moon Wolf was slain.
Their agonizing cries rose and fell continuously.
Yang Xiaotian repeated the process over and over again.
With each repetition, he gained new insights into the Eternal Night Sword Dao.
Yang Xiaotian’s entire being merged with the aura of the Eternal Night Sword, becoming one with heaven and earth.
While Yang Xiaotian was slaughtering the Silver Moon Wolf pack, in another part of the secret realm, the Son of Fan from the Fan Family, Fan Wuyan, was also slaughtering one fierce beast after another.
He wielded the Fan Sword, and with each swing, his sword qi surged like an ocean, sending one fierce beast after another flying.
Within him, astonishing sword lights flashed incessantly.
There were nine Sword Hearts, and they were nine Demon God Sword Hearts.
The Demon God Sword Heart is also one of the strongest Sword Hearts in heaven and earth.
Forging nine Sword Hearts is the embodiment of a Sword God, peerless through the ages. Many sword dao geniuses spend their entire lives unable to forge them.
But now, inside Fan Wuyan, the tenth Sword Heart started to flicker with light again.
Yes, it was the tenth Demon God Sword Heart.
This time, Fan Wuyan entered the secret realm to harness the beasts’ power to hone his Sword Dao and forge the tenth Demon God Sword Heart.
“This time, I will surely forge the tenth Demon God Sword Heart,” declared Fan Wuyan with determination in his eyes.
If he could forge the tenth Demon God Sword Heart, he would certainly shake the higher-ups of the Azure God Academy and astonish all directions.
If he could forge the tenth Demon God Sword Heart, he might even sense the Divine Shadow Sword of the Azure God Academy and subdue it.
With the continuous strikes of his sword, the tenth Demon God Sword Heart within him became more solid.
The Demon God Sword Qi around his body grew stronger and stronger, disturbing many disciples in the secret realm.
“It’s the Son of Fan from the Fan Family, he’s about to forge the tenth Demon God Sword Heart!”
“What, forge the tenth Demon God Sword Heart!”
As the news spread, all disciples within the secret realm were shocked.
“Is Fan Wuyan seeking to surpass the gods?”
No disciple had managed to forge the tenth Sword Heart upon first entering the Azure God Academy.
If Fan Wuyan succeeded in forging the tenth Demon God Sword Heart, it would certainly break the records of Azure God Academy in everyone’s eyes.
After Yang Xiaotian slaughtered hundreds of Silver Moon Wolves, he began to search for the next pack of beasts.
Soon, he found a pack of Iron Ant Beasts.
Clad in iron armor, the Iron Ant Beasts weren’t as swift as the Silver Moon Wolves, but their defense was astonishing.
Yang Xiaotian once again activated the Eternal Night Sword.
He executed the Eternal Night Sword Technique to perfection.
After hunting the third pack of beasts, the fourteenth Sword Heart finally began to emerge.
After he hunted the fourth pack of beasts, the fourteenth Sword Heart grew more solid.
By the time he hunted the fifth pack of beasts, the fourteenth Sword Heart had finally solidified.
The moment the fourteen Sword Hearts solidified, the earth shook, mountains crumbled, and the entire space of the secret realm quaked. In the sky above the realm, gods bowed down, a river of swords appeared, and a myriad of sword lights surged, presenting various supernatural phenomena.
The power of the fourteen Sword Hearts even penetrated the space of the secret realm, for not even the supreme prohibitions of the secret realm could stop the power of the fourteen Sword Hearts.
Terrifying surges of Sword Qi appeared above the square of Azure God Academy.
At that moment, everyone saw that heaven-and-earth-shaking Sword Qi.
The light of the Sword Qi eclipsed all other lights in heaven and earth.
Powerful figures from all over the square of Azure God Academy watched the terrifying Sword Qi with disbelief.
“What’s happening? How can such terrifying Sword Qi leak out from the secret realm?”
“Who could it be? Which disciple possesses such terrifying Sword Qi power?”
At that moment, supreme beings within the deepest space of the Azure God Academy opened their eyes one by one.
Within the Myriad Gods Imperial City, one supreme overlord after another looked towards the direction of Azure God Academy in astonishment.
