Chapter 844: Such Good Luck
“Not good!” Ling Chuxi felt uneasy when she saw the murderous intent in the eyes of the sword heart. It looked like he was going to fight the sword spirit to the death. The sword spirit was still a remnant of Cang Yuan after all, and if his spirit body was destroyed, his divine consciousness would disappear too.
Ling Chuxi’s a.s.sumption, however, was not entirely correct. The sword heart did indeed have bad intentions, but he didn’t want to kill the sword spirit—he wanted to devour his divine consciousness.
At first, the sword heart just wanted to drive off the sword spirit, but after seeing his strength, he got another idea. Since the sword spirit had become stronger by integrating the sword soul and sword essence, just how powerful would the sword heart become if he devoured that combined divine consciousness?
The sword heart had already condensed into a spirit body and was beginning to have his own independent thoughts, so it was not surprising that he had come up with such an idea. He had no clue about the sword spirit absorbing the Ink Jade Crystals, and since those kind of precious natural resources couldn’t be found so easily, he just attributed everything to the sword soul and sword essence.
Under the sword heart’s increasingly powerful attacks, the sword spirit became more and more illusory. Suddenly, the sword heart aimed one strong strike at the sword spirit, and the sword spirit’s huge sword made of spiritual Qi shattered into pieces and disintegrated.
The sword heart’s figure grew in size as it went to envelope the sword spirit.
“What are you trying to do?” The sword spirit roared.
“You wanted to integrate my spiritual consciousness, didn’t you? Well, don’t blame me for wanting to devour yours then!” The sword heart laughed wildly.
Ling Chuxi’s mind suddenly experienced a wave of immense pain. A terrifying force was in the ocean of her mind, mercilessly devouring her mental strength, and her mind actually went blank for a moment.
‘No!’ Ling Chuxi felt panic overwhelm her. The sword spirit had mentioned integration. The other remnants of Cang Yuan were a part of Cang Yuan’s emotions, so even after integration, they still existed. The sword heart, however, was talking about devouring. Once devoured by him, it was only natural that the spiritual power would be absorbed by him, and then the divine consciousness would surely disappear along with it.
The Divine Sword Ancient Contract had been signed by her and the Cang Yuan sword spirit, and that kind of mental connection was inseparable. If the sword spirit was devoured, her own mind ocean would become seriously damaged.
The martial path of cultivation initially focused on the strength and application of Battle Qi. After reaching the realm of True Essence, the inner realm enlightenment was not that important, but later, when it reached a higher level, it became more important to cultivate the Core of Martial Path. Both the inner realm and the Core of Martial Path were closely related to mental strength. If the mind ocean was damaged, it definitely would have a very negative impact on cultivation in the future, so there was no way Ling Chuxi could just stand by and watch the sword spirit get devoured!
Right then, Ling Chuxi could not afford to think of anything else, and immediately took out the Luo Chen sword and attacked the sword heart.
As if he had eyes on the back of his head, the sword heart knew what Ling Chuxi’s actions were, but ultimately didn’t care. With a contemptuous smile, he waved his hand, and that huge sword appeared in it again. That seemingly casual wave of his hand actually shook Ling Chuxi into taking a few steps back. Qi and blood started to churn in her chest once more, and her breath was very uncomfortably stuck in her chest.
“Too strong!” Ling Chuxi secretly sucked in a breath, not daring to simply attack again.
“What should I do now?” Ling Chuxi was very anxious, but she also knew that if she continued on like this, she was just inviting death. She had to think of another way.
At that moment, in a hidden corner, four eyes were watching the scene unfolding before them.
Little Red’s eyes were full of surprise. ‘A sword spirit. It is actually the Cang Yuan sword spirit! So the last time wasn’t an illusion… everything was real.’
