The moment the Seven Kill Avatar unfolded, the light across the entire Martial Arts Arena instantly dimmed.
The towering phantom, several zhang high, flowed with a dreamlike radiance from head to toe. Every line on the sword's body overlapped in layer after layer, as if they were the Sword Intent brands left by generations of Seven Kill Sword wielders, making it seem incomparably profound and heavy.
The phantom overlapped perfectly with Chen Xin's body, and in an instant, man and sword became one, no longer separate.
The stone pillars around the Martial Arts Arena let out a strained hum, and the light of the soul-guiding crystals flickered on and off, as if they had sensed that intense Sword Intent.
The light curtain originally used to isolate the aftershocks of battle actually caved inward by several inches, rippling with fine waves that spread outward in rings.
The reinforcement array patterns on the surface of the stone pillars activated. Hidden lines spread upward from the base like burning fuses; with every line that lit up, the light curtain grew a little steadier.
Even so, the light curtain still trembled faintly. It was, after all, a lifeless dead thing, and what it was bearing now were two living, breathing Sword Intents.
"Hahaha, come on!" Chen Xin cut off his laughter, both hands gripping the sword hilt tightly as the blade slowly rose upright.
As the sword rose, the layer of sword radiance around him grew increasingly solid, silently contracting and gathering around Chen Xin as its center, until it finally condensed on the sword edge into a deep-blue blade of light so dense it seemed about to drip like water.
The Seven Kill Avatar not only granted him a surge in attributes, it also made him resonate with the killing aura between heaven
