Merit Overwhelms Reason, Coveting the Sun's Radiance (Please Vote!)

What had impressed Liu Dongqing most when he first encountered the wondrous qualities of the Battle-Form Heart-Tempering Sword?

It was that those qualities could let a cultivator use combat to accelerate the refinement of the many external restrictions within his own body!

More than that.

Mei Qingyue's Primal Chaos Sword Diagram, Liu Dongqing's own Twelve Yuanchen Bone Swords, and even the Great One Diagram had drawn deeply on those qualities of the Battle-Form Heart-Tempering Sword. Only then had they reached the consummation of supernatural magical treasures so quickly during the Netherworld killing tribulation.

And now...

The fiercer Liu Dongqing's Pure Yang Heavenly Fire burned, the more it helped Dao Lord Ji Yun advance!

He really was using Liu Dongqing's furnace to forge his swords!

Within the surging, blazing True Yang Great Sun, every moment the Five-Color Ten-Light Sword Formation spent in the flames frantically compounded Ji Yun's state of "battle."

With the Great Sun Pure Origin Refining Diagram, the manifestation of Great Sun Pure Origin, and the combined blessing of the three strands of Dao Fruit Resonance—Burning Emotions, Bing Fire, and Pure Yang...

It refined that source power in an instant!

Hum—hum—hum—

Soon...
