Azure Lotus Immortal Sword

At the bottom of the valley.

White and red springs converged.

Not a ripple stirred the surface. It was so quiet it made one's heart uneasy.

White mist billowed on the left, and even the air froze into ice crystals. Red light warped on the right, the heat haze scorching the eye.

Su Chen stopped at the water's edge.

His gaze swept across the water and fixed on two unremarkable plants.

One was pure white, with an octagonal shape at its tip. It had no stamen at its center and radiated a bone-chilling cold.

The other resembled a cabbage, its leaves fiery red and swaying gently in the heat haze.

Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass.

Infernal Delicate Apricot.

The two Immortal Herbs grew quietly on the opposite bank, where the springs converged.

Su Chen raised both hands.

A luminous white glow shimmered at his fingertips as his Myriad Poisons-Immune Immortal Body surged to its peak.

He joined his fingers and formed sword signs.

Two sword auras shot from his hands, one to the left and one to the right, slicing toward the roots of the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot.

Plop.

Both Immortal Herbs fell at once.

He beckoned with both hands. Spiritual energy formed two invisible palms and plucked the herbs through the air.

Red and white light rapidly drew together in midair.

The moment they touched, the powers of extreme cold and extreme heat collided furiously, and a ring of air burst outward around them.

Without hesitation, Su Chen opened his mouth.

A push of spiritual energy sent both Immortal Herbs straight into his belly!

Atop the cliff.

Dugu Bo's legs went weak, and he nearly fell to his knees.

"He swallowed them whole?!"

"Those Immortal Herbs could poison a Titled Douluo to death! He swallowed them without even chewing? It's over! It's all over!"

Old Poison clutched his hair, his face filled with despair.

In the shadows, Gui Mei's breath caught as the black mist around him roiled violently beyond his control.

That was a deadly poison even Poison Douluo feared.

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

A hand reached out from the black mist, its fingertips trembling, ready to rush down into the valley and save him at any cost.

As long as he could protect the Holy Son's soul, even giving up his own life would be worth it.

The Immortal Herbs entered his belly.

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

A thick layer of ice armor formed over the left half of his body, while the clothes on his right side instantly burned to ash and his skin reddened like hot iron.

Two violent forces barreled through his meridians.

Pain like tearing flooded his mind.

His meridians snapped inch by inch, then swiftly regenerated under the effects of his Myriad Poisons-Immune Immortal Body.

The power's too fierce. My meridians can't contain it.

Su Chen clenched his teeth and didn't let out a single cry of pain.

He kicked off hard with both legs.

His whole body leaped into the air, plunging straight into the center where the red and white springs met!

Splash!

Water sprayed in every direction.

His figure was instantly swallowed by the spring.

"He jumped in!"

Dugu Bo's eyes nearly bulged out of his head.

"That spring can melt gold and dissolve bone! Swallowing the Immortal Herbs wasn't enough—now he's jumping in to kill himself?!"

The black mist around Gui Mei shrank, and he nearly revealed himself.

But his eyes remained locked on the water's surface, and he forced himself to stop.

Not a trace of blood appeared on the water.

Instead, a huge whirlpool formed where the springs met.

At the center of the whirlpool.

Su Chen floated cross-legged beneath the water.

The extreme cold and heat in the spring surged through his pores and poured into him.

The medicinal power of the Immortal Herbs inside him met the force of the spring outside.

The Supreme Guidance Art ran beyond its limits.

Suddenly, an explosion thundered through his sea of consciousness.

[After observing the source of the laws at the place where the Icefire Dragon Kings fell, you reached enlightenment!]

[You created the Icefire Chaos Sword Body!]

A brand-new cultivation method unfurled in his mind.

Su Chen formed a seal with both hands.

He stopped resisting the tearing sensation.

He dropped every defense.

He let the ice and fire destroy his flesh and blood.

Cultivation was all about breaking before rebuilding.

His flesh dissolved, leaving his bones exposed in the spring.

Then, the formula of the Icefire Chaos Sword Body drew upon the Icefire Dragon Kings' source, repairing his body bit by bit.

His newly formed bones were crystal clear, shimmering like fine white jade.

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

The medicinal power was perfectly refined and fused into every inch of his skin.

His body had reached sainthood!

A sensation of transcendence and rebirth filled his entire being.

Atop the cliff.

Dugu Bo waited a long time but saw no sign of movement.

"No saving him. Not a bone left."

Old Poison slumped to the ground, utterly limp.

Gui Mei's eyes were bloodshot, and the black mist showed signs of slipping out of control.

He refused to believe it!

The Holy Son, who had created countless miracles, couldn't possibly die here!

Just then.

The spring at the bottom of the valley trembled.

The formerly still surface exploded, and a column of water shot into the sky.

Su Chen burst out of the water and hovered in midair.

His skin was as lustrous as jade, without a single wound.

Not only had he survived, but the aura he gave off was several times stronger than before.

Dugu Bo sprang up from the ground and pointed toward the valley, his lips trembling.

"L-Lived? Without a scratch?!"

Gui Mei let out a long breath, slowly unclenched his fists, and watched as the black mist settled again. He still didn't reveal himself.

In midair.

Feeling his reborn body, Su Chen nodded in satisfaction.

His body had been reforged.

Next, it was his old partner's turn.

His Martial Soul was about to undergo a transformation as well.

He raised his right hand and grasped at empty air.

The Purple Thunder Spirit Sword appeared out of nowhere.

The purple thunder patterns along the blade leaped wildly.

After being tempered by heavenly lightning and scorched by earthly fire, the mortal iron sword had long since reached its limits.

Tiny chips lined its edge.

"Mortal iron is still mortal iron. It can't bear a greater Dao."

"Today, I'll borrow this icefire source to reforge your immortal body."

He turned his wrist.

The Purple Thunder Spirit Sword became a streak of light and plunged straight into the depths of the icefire spring below.

The source power at the bottom of the spring erupted at once.

Thunder and fire intertwined.

Violent lightning burst from the sword.

Lightning, ice, and flames.

Three forces capable of destroying heaven and earth tore through one another beneath the spring.

The entire valley shook violently.

Loose stones tumbled down the cliff face.

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

"What are you doing now? Do you have a death wish?! If you throw your Martial Soul into the spring and it gets destroyed, you're finished!"

Deep in the spring.

The Purple Thunder Spirit Sword let out a mournful cry.

Under the onslaught of the Icefire Dragon Kings' source, layer upon layer of impurities peeled away from its mortal iron blade.

Even the original purple thunder patterns were forcibly erased by that power.

Only one wisp of the purest Sword Intent remained, struggling to hold on in the water.

"Condense!"

Su Chen pointed through the air.

The essence of the Immortal Herbs he had just refined shot from his fingertip, entering that wisp of Sword Intent with pinpoint accuracy.

The Icefire Dragon Kings' source of law seemed to have found an outlet and surged into it wildly.

The sword was reforged!

Hum!

A sword cry rang throughout the entire Sunset Forest.

The spring stopped churning.

Amid the vast water mist, a dazzling flash of azure light emerged from beneath the water.

The azure light grew brighter and brighter.

It scattered the white mist and drowned out the red glow.

Dugu Bo instinctively raised a hand to shield his eyes, not daring to look directly at that sharp radiance.

The sound of breaking through the water rang out.

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

Its blade was long and slender, translucent azure from end to end.

It had no ornate decorations.

Yet it radiated an immortal might sharp enough to cleave through all things.

A faint shadow of an Azure Lotus slowly bloomed at its hilt.

The Martial Soul had evolved for the first time!

The Azure Lotus Immortal Sword was born!

Su Chen reached out and gripped the hilt.

The instant his hand touched it, a feeling of blood connection welled up inside him.

He gave it a casual swing.

An azure sword aura shot from the blade.

He hadn't used even a trace of Soul Power.

The sword aura silently swept across the cliff opposite.

There was no explosion.

No stones flew.

A deep, mirror-smooth fissure now split the cliff face.

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

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

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

A monster.

That kid was definitely a monster.

Su Chen twirled his sword, then drew the Azure Lotus Immortal Sword back into his body.

He lightly touched down on the water with both feet and drifted back to shore.

His Icefire Chaos Sword Body had reached great mastery.

The Azure Lotus Immortal Sword had been reforged.

Next, it was time to collect the remaining spoils.

His gaze swept over the garden's exotic flowers and plants, and a satisfied smile tugged at his lips.
