Seven Kill Sword Characters

Tian Hao's guess had been right. After his son, Chen Xin, broke through to become a Titled Douluo, Chen Jianjun had already begun making preparations. In the end, he had come to Spirit City.

"The pinnacle of soul masters! Qian Daoliu! I'm here!"

"Father!"

Following behind him, Chen Xin was worried. His father's decision was far too dangerous. This time, he would probably have only the slimmest chance of survival.

"Level 98 at its peak is still within the realm of mortals. Only upon reaching Level 99 can one set foot in the realm of the gods. I will surely die this time, but I will fight with everything I have to clear the way for you. Watch closely. Carry your father's conviction and the convictions of the War Soul Hall's ancestors through the generations, and keep moving forward. You must reach that realm!"

Chen Jianjun's will was firmer than ever, and his Battle Intent soared higher than ever. Even his blood seemed to boil.

"Don't think about revenge, because there is no grudge. I am seeking the Dao—seeking it for myself, and even more so for you!

"Go. My mission is today; yours is in the future!

"Little Bone, I'll leave Xin'er to you. You must get him away safely."

After speaking, he waved his hand, signaling his son to retreat. This was his battle, and his son should not be dragged into it.

"I will protect Chen Xin. I will definitely get him away safely!"

Bone Douluo Gu Rong solemnly nodded in agreement, utterly confident in this.

His Bone Dragon Martial Soul possessed powerful Space Power. If anything went wrong, he could leave through space. He was confident that even the High Priest of Spirit Hall could not possibly do anything to him.

"Father!"

Chen Xin's tiger eyes brimmed with tears, but in the end, he could only retreat with his friend.

He could not stop his father, because this was his father's will. As a son, he could only respect that will and carry it with him as he continued onward.

After his son had retreated, Chen Jianjun manifested his Martial Soul, the Seven Kill Sword. However, no Spirit Rings appeared, because he had already refined his Spirit Rings into his Martial Soul, transforming them into nine Star Points. His strength had risen another level, bringing him infinitely close to the Demigod realm.

This was the inherited Secret Method of their War Soul Hall, much like the Clear Sky Sect's Clear Sky Nine Annihilations and Ring Detonation. Although it could not compare with a secret supreme art like the Great Sumeru Hammer, which was almost a Divine Skill, it was still extremely powerful.

Moreover, this Secret Method still had untapped potential. If he could completely refine all nine Spirit Rings and fuse them into his Martial Soul, he could make the Martial Soul evolve further, break through the boundary between man and god, and reach the pinnacle of a soul master.

Unfortunately, his talent was limited, and he could not cultivate to that level on his own. He could only attempt to break through with external assistance. Hopefully, he would succeed.

Suppressing his thoughts, the Seven Kill Sword Intent blossomed and transformed into the Seven Kill Domain.

There were no words, but this Sword Intent was the best battle challenge!

"You really came!"

Inside Douluo Hall, Qian Daoliu, who had been praying to the Angel Statue, opened his Eyes. Golden Sacred Light flickered within them.

Without hesitation, three pairs of Golden Wings unfurled behind him. He turned and walked out of the main hall, flying toward the city gates.

Many others were also rushing toward the city gates. One of them was even riding a dog—or rather, a wolf.

"He's here! He's here! He finally came to deliver his life and blood!"

Tian Hao was filled with excitement. He had finally waited for this day.

Although he had obtained quite a bit of blood by executing Evil Soul Masters, the Evil Soul Masters captured and judged alive by Spirit Hall were not very strong. Naturally, the quality of the blood he obtained was not high either.

It was not that Spirit Hall could not capture powerful Evil Soul Masters, but that it could not capture them alive. To preserve themselves in battle, Spirit Hall soul masters always placed killing first. The Bodies would also be destroyed on the spot.

Thus, so far, none of the Fallen Soul Masters he had executed had possessed a Soul Power Level higher than Soul Elder.

That was precisely why he had been waiting and preparing for this opportunity!

As a Hundred Years Soul Beast, Xiao Ha was naturally quite fast. Carrying Tian Hao, he sprinted rapidly toward the city gates.

They were fast, but Qian Daoliu was faster. He almost transformed into a Golden Light as he descended onto the city wall and looked down upon Chen Jianjun.

"Kill!"

Chen Jianjun did not waste even a Bit of words. The moment his opponent arrived, he burned everything and unleashed all his Soul Power. Even his soul began to burn away.

His body merged as one with the Seven Kill Sword manifested behind him. The Seven Kill Sword swung out six streams of Sword Qi, forming a Kill Character. Finally, it drew a circle of Sword Qi, further condensing that Kill Character.

But that was not all. The blade continued to slash again and again, forming nine Kill Characters in one breath!

"Kill!"

With a final roar, the last Kill Character shot toward Qian Daoliu, carrying the enormous Seven Kill Sword with it.

Qian Daoliu's Expressions turned solemn. That was Chen Jianjun's all-out eruption, with even his Life and soul infused into it. In terms of attack power alone, it had reached Qian Daoliu's level.

But it had only reached that level. It was not worth worrying about.

After all, Qian Daoliu had reached the peak of Level 99, infinitely close to the divine realm.

Not to mention that, during this period, with the help of the Angel Statue, he had fused the characteristics of his Soul Power into the stronger Holy Light Attribute, raising his strength by a large margin. He was confident that even if Tang Chen came, he could still pin him to the ground and grind him into the dirt.

Without using any Soul Skill, his body and Martial Soul fused perfectly. Soul Power imbued with Angel Divine Power erupted as Shockwave after Shockwave, blasting forward.

At his level, Spirit Rings and Soul Skills had long since ceased to be important. Even a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring's Soul Skill could hardly unleash his full strength.

Over the years, he had focused more on cultivating his Soul Power and Martial Soul. The Soul Skills he used were also self-created, infinitely close to the legendary Divine Skills.

Each Sacred Light Shockwave could shatter a Kill Character, while also heavily injuring Chen Jianjun, whose body had merged into the Seven Kill Sword.

Chen Jianjun, however, was using Qian Daoliu's attacks to further refine the nine Spirit Ring Star Points into the Seven Kill Sword, making the Martial Soul more Perfect and pushing himself toward that realm.

Each Sacred Light Shockwave helped him perfectly refine one Spirit Ring Star Point.

After nine consecutive Shockwaves, the nine Spirit Ring Star Points on the Seven Kill Sword had been completely refined by Chen Jianjun, driving him to complete his breakthrough in realm.

However, this method came at a price. His body was on the verge of collapse, and he was holding on entirely through his powerful will.

When the tenth wave of Golden Light Shockwave came crashing in, the Seven Kill Sword finally could not hold out. It was forcibly shattered, and the vitality within Chen Jianjun was shattered along with it.

"I saw it! I saw it!"

After landing and steadying his staggering body, Chen Jianjun's Eyes were brighter than ever.

He had seen the answer he had pursued all this time. This Time's inquiry into the Dao had been worthwhile!

Moreover, in the final moment, he had finally relied on an all-out eruption and the complete refinement of his Spirit Rings to break through his bottleneck, reaching Level 99 and experiencing the realm known as the Demigod realm.

It was truly powerful, truly wonderful!

"He was a worthy opponent."

Qian Daoliu sighed. Although he had won this battle, thirty percent of the Soul Power Within the Body had been consumed. This was despite his strength having risen after his transformation into the Holy Light Attribute. It showed just how terrifying Chen Jianjun's all-or-nothing eruption had been.

If they had been in the same realm, he would not have had much chance of victory against him. After all, Chen Jianjun had forgotten everything and fought desperately, gaining a boost to his Combat Power.

"Oh, I almost forgot about you, little fellow."

As if suddenly sensing something, Qian Daoliu lowered his head to Look Down Upon the city gates below and Smiled.

"Angel Domain!"

He raised his Eyes toward Chen Xin and Gu Rong in the distance and unleashed the Angel Domain, enveloping everything before the city gates. Intense Golden Light also interfered with everyone's vision.

"Father!"

Overcome by grief and fury, Chen Xin activated his Martial Soul Avatar and charged inside.
