Azure Lotus Immortal Sword

The bottom of the valley.

White and red spring waters converged.

The surface of the water was devoid of even the slightest ripple, quiet enough to make one's heart race with unease.

On the left, white mist rose, and even the air crystallized into ice shards. On the right, red light twisted, and heat waves scorched the vision.

Su Chen stopped at the edge of the spring.

His gaze crossed the water, locking onto two inconspicuous plants.

One was snow-white, octagonal at the top, with no stamen in the center, exuding a bone-chilling cold.

The other resembled a cabbage, its leaves fiery red, swaying gently with the heat waves.

Star Anise Mysterious Ice Grass.

Inferno Delicate Apricot.

The two immortal herbs grew quietly on the opposite bank where the spring waters converged.

Su Chen raised both hands.

A lustrous white light bloomed at his fingertips, his Myriad Poisons-Immune Immortal Body pushed to its peak.

He pressed his hands together, fingers forming a sword shape.

Two sword qi beams shot out, one to the left and one to the right, striking the roots of the Star Anise Mysterious Ice Grass and the Inferno Delicate Apricot respectively.

Click.

Both immortal herbs fell simultaneously.

With a wave of his hands, spiritual energy transformed into two invisible palms, plucking the herbs from thin air.

The red and white lights drew rapidly together in mid-air.

The moment they touched, the forces of absolute cold and absolute heat collided violently, and the surrounding air instantly exploded into a ring of shockwaves.

Su Chen did not hesitate; he opened his mouth.

With a push of spiritual energy, he swallowed both immortal herbs whole!

The cliff top.

Dugu Bo's legs went weak, and he nearly collapsed to the ground.

"Swallowed them raw?!"

"Those are immortal herbs capable of poisoning a Title Douluo to death! He just gulped them down without even chewing? It's over! Everything is over!"

The Old Poison grabbed his hair, his face full of despair.

Gui Mei, hidden in the shadows, also felt his breath hitch, the black mist around his body rolling uncontrollably.

That was a lethal poison that even the Poison Douluo feared.

How could a six-year-old's body withstand it?

A hand reached out from the black mist, fingertips trembling, ready to charge down to the valley floor to save him at any cost.

As long as he could preserve the Saint Son's soul, sacrificing his own old life would be worth it.

The immortal herbs entered his stomach.

Su Chen's complexion instantly turned a bizarre shade of red and white.

A thick layer of ice armor condensed on the left side of his body, while the clothes on his right side instantly turned to ash, his skin glowing red like a branding iron.

Two violent forces rampaged through his meridians.

Tearing pain flooded his mind.

His meridians snapped inch by inch, only to be rapidly regenerated by the power of his Myriad Poisons-Immune Immortal Body.

"The power is too fierce; my meridians can't contain it."

Su Chen gritted his teeth, not letting out a single cry of pain.

He kicked off the ground with all his might.

His entire body leaped into the air, diving straight into the center of the converging red and white spring water!

Splash!

Water sprayed everywhere.

His figure was instantly submerged by the spring.

"He jumped in!"

Dugu Bo's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

"That spring water can melt gold and dissolve bone! Swallowing the herbs wasn't enough, he had to commit suicide in the spring?!"

Gui Mei's black mist contracted, and he nearly revealed himself from the shadows.

But his gaze remained locked on the water surface, forcing himself to stop.

No blood surfaced.

Instead, a massive whirlpool formed where the spring waters converged.

At the center of the whirlpool.

Su Chen hovered cross-legged beneath the water.

The forces of absolute cold and absolute heat from the spring poured into his pores frantically.

The medicinal power of the immortal herbs inside his body converged with the power of the spring water from the outside.

The Supreme Guidance Art operated at an overload.

Suddenly, a thunderous roar echoed in his sea of consciousness.

[Observed the origin of the laws at the place where the Icefire Dragon King fell, and attained enlightenment!]

[Created the Icefire Chaos Sword Body!]

A brand-new cultivation path unfolded in his mind.

Su Chen formed seals with his hands.

He no longer resisted the tearing sensation.

He let go of all defenses.

He allowed the power of ice and fire to destroy his flesh and blood.

Cultivation was, after all, about breaking before building.

His flesh dissolved, and his bones were exposed to the spring water.

Immediately afterward, the technique of the Icefire Chaos Sword Body channeled the origin of the Icefire Dragon King, repairing his body strand by strand.

His newly formed bones were crystal clear, shimmering with light like mutton-fat jade.

His new meridians were ten times wider than before, as tough as dragon tendons.

The medicinal power was perfectly refined, merging into every inch of his skin.

His physical body had become sanctified!

A feeling of transcending the mortal world and being reborn filled his entire being.

The cliff top.

Dugu Bo waited for a long time, seeing no movement at all.

"No hope left, not even a corpse remains."

The Old Poison slumped to the ground, powerless.

Gui Mei's eyes were bloodshot, the black mist showing signs of losing control.

He refused to believe it!

The Saint Son, who had created countless miracles, could never die here!

Just then.

The spring water at the bottom of the valley shook.

The previously calm surface exploded, and a pillar of water shot into the sky.

Su Chen broke through the water and stood suspended in the air.

His skin was crystal clear like jade, without a single scar.

Not only was he alive, but the aura emanating from him was several times more powerful than before.

Dugu Bo sprang up from the ground, pointing at the valley floor, his lips trembling.

"Alive... he's alive? Without a single scratch?!"

Gui Mei let out a long breath of relief, his tightly clenched fists slowly relaxing, and the black mist returned to calm, though he still did not reveal himself.

In mid-air.

Su Chen felt his reborn body and nodded with satisfaction.

The physical reconstruction was complete.

Next, it was time for his old companion.

His martial soul had also undergone a qualitative change.

He raised his right hand and grasped the void.

The Purple Thunder Spirit Sword appeared out of thin air.

The purple thunder patterns on the blade pulsed frantically.

The ordinary iron sword, having endured the tempering of heavenly lightning and the scorching of earthly fire, could no longer bear the burden.

The edges of the blade were covered in tiny nicks.

"Ordinary iron is, after all, ordinary iron; it cannot carry a higher Dao."

"Today, I shall borrow this Icefire origin to recast your immortal body."

He flipped his wrist.

The Purple Thunder Spirit Sword turned into a stream of light, piercing straight into the depths of the spring eye where the ice and fire converged.

The origin power at the bottom of the spring eye instantly erupted.

Thunder and fire intertwined.

Violent thunder burst forth from the sword.

Lightning, ice, and fire.

Three world-destroying forces slaughtered each other frantically at the bottom of the spring.

The entire valley trembled violently.

Loose stones rolled down from the cliff walls.

Dugu Bo clung to a large tree, his face full of horror.

"What is he doing now? He's courting death! Throwing his martial soul into the spring eye—once the martial soul is destroyed, the person is finished!"

Deep within the spring eye.

The Purple Thunder Spirit Sword let out a mournful cry.

The impurities of the ordinary iron on the blade were stripped away layer by layer under the scouring of the Icefire Dragon King's origin.

The original purple thunder patterns were also forcibly erased by this power.

Only a wisp of the purest sword intent remained, struggling to hold on in the water.

"Condense!"

Su Chen pointed into the air.

The newly refined immortal herb essence shot out from his fingertips, sinking precisely into that wisp of sword intent.

The law origin of the Icefire Dragon King seemed to have found an outlet, pouring in frantically.

The sword body was recast!

Hum!

A sword hum resonated throughout the entire Sunset Forest.

The spring water stopped churning.

Amidst the sky-filling mist, a dazzling cyan light emerged from the bottom of the water.

The cyan light grew increasingly intense.

It dispersed the white mist and overwhelmed the red light.

Dugu Bo instinctively reached out to cover his eyes, not daring to look directly at the sharpness.

A sound of breaking water rang out.

A three-foot-long sword rose slowly from the spring eye.

The blade was slender and translucent cyan in color.

It had no ornate decorations.

Yet, it exuded a sharp immortal might capable of severing all things.

At the hilt, a phantom of a cyan lotus slowly bloomed.

The first evolution of his martial soul!

The Azure Lotus Immortal Sword was born!

Su Chen reached out and grasped the hilt.

The moment he touched it, a sense of blood-linked connection surged into his heart.

He swung it casually.

A cyan sword qi beam shot out from the blade.

He hadn't used a single bit of soul power.

The sword qi swept silently across the opposite cliff wall.

There was no explosion.

No flying debris.

On the cliff wall, a bottomless, mirror-smooth crack appeared.

The might of the Azure Lotus Immortal Sword was truly terrifying.

Dugu Bo swallowed hard, his legs going weak once again.

If that sword strike had been aimed at him, his protective soul power would have been sliced apart like paper.

Monster.

This kid was definitely a monster.

Su Chen flicked his sword in a flourish and drew the Azure Lotus Immortal Sword back into his body.

With a light tap of his feet on the water's surface, he drifted gracefully back to the shore.

The Icefire Chaos Sword Body had reached great completion.

The Azure Lotus Immortal Sword had been reforged.

Next, it was time to collect the remaining spoils.

His gaze swept across the garden of rare flowers and exotic herbs, and a satisfied smile curved his lips.
