Sword Divine Form

Sword Divine Form

"This is the Battle Law among the Nine Secrets!"

Zhou Tong closed his eyes and quietly contemplated it, comparing this method against the Ten Evils Treasure Art in his mind.

"Hm? The Nine Secrets can't transform the Ten Evils Treasure Art?" At that moment, Zhou Tong suddenly discovered that the Nine Secrets could not transform his Ten Evils Treasure Art at all. Whether it was the Thunder Emperor Treasure Technique or the Grass Character Sword Art, neither could be displayed through the Nine Secrets.

"Is it because the systems are different? Or are the Ten Evils Treasure Arts simply too advanced?" Zhou Tong was puzzled, but he leaned more toward the latter possibility.

The Ten Evils Treasure Arts were simply too high-level, undoubtedly secret arts of the Immortal King tier.

How could the Battle Secret, created by a human-path Supreme, transform such Immortal King secret arts?

"Though I can't transform the specific Ten Evils Treasure Arts, I can transform a little of their aura and profound meaning!" A bolt of lightning seemed to flash through Zhou Tong's mind. As if he had suddenly gained enlightenment, he grasped something. It was as though a lighthouse had lit up ahead of him, allowing him to see the road that lay before him.

Buzz!

Almost instinctively, Zhou Tong seemed to sense something. His entire being felt detached from the world, his heart utterly clear and empty. His hands slowly swayed like blades of grass, innate Dao patterns flickering around them, brimming with the aura of the Great Dao.

The terrifying sword intent of the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass instantly emerged.

His arms, his fingers, even his hair and body all seemed to transform into soft, fragile blades of grass, dancing in the wind.

Though they appeared delicate, they contained a terrifying aura capable of cleaving heaven and earth apart.

In that instant, Zhou Tong used the Battle Saint Method to evolve the sword intent of the Grass Character Sword Art. The void immediately hummed, his combat power surging to its peak as the purple blood throughout his body boiled completely!

That purple blood seemed to turn into flames, burning and rising.

Boom!

Heaven and earth erupted, the void shattered, and as his hands traced through the air, indestructible sword qi appeared, flowing with the aura of the Great Dao!

Then the sword qi transformed. The void became a sea, ascending to its utmost sublimation, mysterious and unfathomable.

Boom!

Waves surged through the sea of swords, smashing heaven and earth apart. Sword light arced like rainbows, streaming in sheets as it pierced through the void.

Since embarking upon the path of cultivation, Zhou Tong had naturally cultivated various "treasure arts" most deeply. He had already gained a profound understanding of the "treasure arts" that were so crucial to the Chaotic Ancient Method.

He had always been considering how to integrate the "treasure arts" of the Chaotic Ancient Method into the Sky Shrouding Method.

Yet only at this moment had he truly set foot upon that path.

Evolution would begin with the Grass Character Sword Art!

At the same time, this commotion immediately roused Jiang Taixu, who had originally dimmed.

"This is... enlightenment!? I never expected him to comprehend such sword intent at merely the Dao Palace Realm!" Jiang Taixu was somewhat astonished. "This sword intent uses softness to overcome hardness. Even an ordinary blade of grass can sever the Star River, cut off the void, and destroy all things."

"This sword intent is far too lofty. Logically speaking, someone of his age should not be able to comprehend it. Could it be a method passed down by some Great Emperor? But... I've never heard of any Great Emperor who attained the Dao through grass."

Still, Jiang Taixu was curious—curious to see just how far Zhou Tong could go.

He continued watching.

The sword intent of the Grass Character Sword Art took form. A silver-white blade of grass appeared behind him, and as Zhou Tong's hands moved, it continuously unleashed sword qi after sword qi, tracing the paths of the Dao.

Rumble!

Suddenly, the silver-white blade of grass behind him fiercely merged with Zhou Tong's body.

At that instant, Zhou Tong's arms seemed to have become the most ordinary, frail blades of grass, yet they also seemed like divine swords that could cut through anything, invincible and indestructible. This was a manifestation of transformation at the ultimate extremity of the Dao, evolving the beginning and destination of the Dao, representing an eternal and unchanging law.

The next moment, Jiang Taixu was shocked again. He discovered that Zhou Tong had changed. He seemed to have become a blade of grass, a sword—a divine sword like a blade of grass.

Though he was still human, what flowed through his body was no longer divine power, nor was it Life Essence. It was sword qi, sword astral energy. Terrifying, sharp sword astral energy coursed through every inch of his body, from within to without. He was entirely made of sword astral energy!

How had the most fundamental divine power within his body become sword qi, transformed into invincible sword astral energy?

Logically, even truly invincible sword qi should only be transformed when a secret art was activated. How could even a person's very origin transform into invincible sword astral energy?

Jiang Taixu was deeply shaken, but then a thought came to him. "Divine Form? Has he created a Divine Form?"

When the fleshly shell evolved to its limit and took on the shape of the Dao, it was a sign that one's cultivation had deepened and entered the halls of the Dao. It was also a direction for future Dao attainment. All such transformations were called Divine Forms.

Since ancient times, any cultivator capable of evolving a Divine Form could absolutely be called a heaven-favored prodigy. Even among the Ancient Sages, few had managed to comprehend a Divine Form unique to themselves. Yet this young man before him seemed to have... done it?

"No, it isn't yet a Divine Form. It is only a direction. If he continues evolving it, he will eventually evolve a Divine Form unique to himself..." Jiang Taixu finally concluded. "Remarkable. He is only in the Dao Palace Realm, yet he has already reached this stage..."

"Hmm, perhaps that is not quite right either... His constitution is extraordinary. This domineering purple blood and qi closely resembles the legendary constitution recorded by my ancestors—the Azure Heaven Hegemonic Blood!"

"If it truly is Azure Heaven Hegemonic Blood, then it would no longer be so inconceivable for him to comprehend the profound meaning of a Divine Form ahead of time when he reaches perfection in the Dao Palace," Jiang Taixu muttered inwardly, as though he had realized something.

Meanwhile, Zhou Tong, who was immersed in enlightenment, slowly awoke from that state.

A faint smile appeared on his face. That brief moment had benefited him immensely.

"That's it. Though I can't transform the Ten Evils Treasure Arts, I can integrate their profound meaning into the Sky Shrouding Method, into the profound meaning of a single move!!"

"Yes, this is how it should be!"

At that moment, Zhou Tong thought of the time when the Desolate Heaven Emperor created methods. For example, the Dragon Transformation Realm had been gradually evolved by the Desolate Heaven Emperor after he evolved the profound meaning of the True Dragon Treasure Art—the True Dragon Nine Transformations.

"Perhaps I can transform all the profound meanings of the Ten Evils Treasure Arts... I will create Ten Style Dharma Seals and completely contain the profound meanings of the Ten Fiends within them!" This thought could not help flashing through Zhou Tong's mind. "The Ten Style Dharma Seals will correspond to my Divine Forms... The Hegemon Body possesses nine great Divine Forms, but who says that is the limit?"

"I will surpass all previous Hegemon Bodies and cultivate ten kinds!!" Zhou Tong said softly.

At that instant, an incomparable conviction arose within Zhou Tong—a conviction of invincibility, a conviction that he could absolutely surpass every previous bearer of Azure Heaven Hegemonic Blood.

His eyes grew brighter and brighter, as though nothing in heaven and earth was worthy of his notice, as though everything awaited his transcendence.

His gaze also grew sharper and sharper, as though every hardship and obstacle in heaven and earth could be cleaved apart with a single sword!
