Heart Burning Sword Intent

The karma fire of the Heart Burning Sea of Fire strangely extinguished at Chu Mo's feet. The resonance between his Chaos Sword Qi and the Heart Burning Jade Pendant actually formed a cool domain ten feet in diameter beneath him. Yun Che's Eyes of Reversed Time shifted slightly. The flow of the karma fire before her eyes suddenly reversed, revealing the entrance to the Sword Tomb hidden within the flames. It was a pyramid built from tens of thousands of sword bones, each one burning with karma fire of a different color.

"Brother Chu Mo, the sword bones are inscribed with fragmented pages from the Heart Burning Sword Scripture," Yun Che said, pointing to the nearest sword bone. As the golden light of the Heaven Suppressing Seal swept over it, the charred patterns on the sword bone actually revealed three-dimensional sword moves. "It's the Tomb Keeper's inherited Sword Intent!"

Chu Mo nodded, his Broken Sword lightly touching the sword bone. The Chaos Sword Qi, like a living thing, drilled into the sword bone, absorbing the content of the fragmented pages of the Heart Burning Sword Scripture into his Sea of Consciousness. A sudden inspiration struck him. His Broken Sword spun rapidly in his palm, actually condensing the karma fire into small sword shapes. This was the first time the Chaos Sword Body had manifested Sword Intent Manifestation under non-Source of Chaos laws.

"Be careful! Karma Fire Puppets!" Yun Che's Eyes of Reversed Time captured a scene three breaths into the future. She quickly pulled Chu Mo away to dodge. Seven puppets made of sword bones surged out of the sea of fire. Each puppet's joints were inlaid with burning sword cores, which were precisely the Heart Burning Sword Puppets refined by the Tomb Keeper using their own bones.

"Heart Burning Sword Scripture, First Form - Soul Ignition!" Chu Mo low-growled. The moment his Broken Sword slashed out, the Heart Burning Jade Pendant on the sword body flared with light. Seven karma fire sword shadows flew out from within the puppets, actually integrating themselves into his Sword Domain, becoming a new aid for the Chaos Sword Body.

At the top of the Sword Tomb pyramid, the skeleton of the Tomb Keeper leader suddenly opened its eyes. It looked at the Broken Sword in Chu Mo's hand and let out a hoarse laugh from its throat: "Chaos Sword Body, I've finally waited for you..." It raised a hand, and all the sword bones within the pyramid flew up simultaneously, condensing into a massive Heart Burning Sword Wheel in mid-air. "Take this sword from me, the 'Heart Burning Nine Consecutive Slashes' that Chu Muxue failed to complete back then!"

Yun Che's Eyes of Reversed Time activated again. The trajectory of the sword wheel paused for 0.3 breaths. Chu Mo seized the opportunity. His Broken Sword resonated with the Heart Burning Jade Pendant, actually cutting a gap in the sword wheel. "Yun Che, use the Heaven Suppressing Seal to stabilize the core of the sword wheel!"

Golden light surged into the center of the sword wheel, and the Heart Burning Sword Wheel disintegrated in response. The skeleton of the Tomb Keeper leader revealed a relieved smile, turning into specks of fire that merged into Chu Mo's Sword Domain. "Back then, your mother took this move head-on to protect you, damaging her foundational Dao... Now, the Heart Burning Sword Intent has returned to its place."

As the leader's skeleton dissipated, the Heart Burning Jade Pendant at the top of the pyramid finally appeared. The moment Chu Mo reached out and grasped the jade pendant, the karma fire of the entire Heart Burning Sea of Fire suddenly rose a thousand feet, condensing into the phantom image of the Heart Burning Sword Master in the sky. This was the Heaven Suppressing Saintess who fought alongside the Chaos Sword Master in ancient times. The Heaven Suppressing Seal in her hand was actually identical to Yun Che's.

"Yun Che, look!" Chu Mo pointed to the phantom's waist. Hanging there was a World Suppressing Seal identical to Su Hanxue's. "So the World Suppressing Seal and the Heaven Suppressing Seal were originally one entity, only splitting into Yin and Yang parts later..."

His words were interrupted by a sudden spatial fluctuation. The massive ship of the Reincarnation Palace tore open a spatial rift, and hundreds of death beams enveloped the Sword Tomb. Chu Mo swung his Broken Sword horizontally. His Chaos Sword Domain merged with the Heart Burning Sword Intent, forming a Heart Burning Shield in front that reflected all the beams, blasting honeycomb-like holes in the massive ship.

"Chaos Sword Master, do you think collecting the keys can restart the Primordial Chaos?" The voice of the Reincarnation Palace Master came from the rift, ethereal yet carrying a chilling coldness. "Don't forget why the seven Divine Venerables split the Sword Domain back then - because the Source of Chaos should never exist!"

A giant hand covered in scales reached out from the rift, the claw of a Chaos Demon God. Yun Che's Eyes of Reversed Time activated again, but she was horrified to find that the time trajectory of this giant hand was abnormally stable, and the reversed time effect could only be maintained for half a breath.

"Brother Chu Mo, it has a Demon God aura!" Yun Che quickly reminded him. Her Heaven Suppressing Seal frantically circulated, forming a golden cage around the giant hand.

Chu Mo gritted his teeth. His Broken Sword resonated with the four key fragments, and the phantom image of the Primordial Sword Domain appeared in his Sword Domain. He unleashed the complete Primordial Sword Art - Nine Forms of World Destruction for the first time. Nine sword lights of different attributes simultaneously slashed out, leaving deep, bone-visible wounds on the giant hand.

"Roar—"

The giant hand let out an unwilling roar and retreated into the spatial rift. Chu Mo seized the opportunity to recall the Heart Burning Jade Pendant and rushed towards the edge of the sea of fire with Yun Che. But just as they were about to leave, ten thousand golden lights suddenly erupted from the center of the Heart Burning Sea of Fire. A stone tablet inscribed with Heaven Suppressing runes slowly rose, recording the true mission of the Heaven Suppressing Saintess and the Chaos Sword Master:

When Chaos first opened, Yin and Yang divided. Heaven Suppressing maintains order, Chaos breaks the situation. The day the nine keys return to their place is the time the Primordial Chaos restarts. However, the Twin Sword Masters must use their bodies as a guide to recast the Sword Domain...

Yun Che's voice suddenly choked: "Brother Chu Mo, it says that Heaven Suppressing and Chaos must... must merge to restart the Sword Domain..."

Chu Mo tightened his grip on her hand, his gaze firm: "No matter what the cost, I will face it with you. Just like how Mother and your mother fought for time for us with their lives back then, now it's our turn to fulfill their last wishes."

Three days later, the Chaos Sword Palace received a communication Jade Slip from the Immortal Realm. Su Hanxue's image flickered in the Jade Slip. The usually calm her now showed a rare urgency: "Chu Mo, Yun Che, come to the Grand Profound Sect immediately! The remnants of the Mysterious Yellow Divine Dynasty have allied with the Myriad Demon Palace and are attacking the Desolate Sword Domain! Even worse, they have..."

The image suddenly distorted, and the sound of intense fighting came through. Chu Mo and Yun Che exchanged glances and simultaneously summoned their flying spiritual artifacts. The fiery patterns of the Heart Burning Jade Pendant flowed on their bodies, interweaving with the lightning of the Primal Beginning Jade Pendant, forming a seven-colored stream of light that spanned the Immortal Realm and the Spirit Realm.

Above the Desolate Sword Domain, Sword Thirteen's iron sword was already chipped, and his body was covered in bloodstains. He looked at the dense enemy forces in the distance and suddenly heard a clear sword cry from the horizon. Looking up, he saw Chu Mo and Yun Che standing side by side. The spiritual artifact beneath their feet was wrapped in the karma fire of the Heart Burning and the lightning of the Primal Beginning. Wherever they passed, the clouds were dyed in seven colors.

"The Sword Master has returned!" Sword Thirteen's voice was choked with emotion. He slammed his iron sword heavily onto the ground. "Sword cultivators of the Desolate Sword Domain, follow me to welcome the Chaos Sword Master!"

The moment Chu Mo landed, his Broken Sword plunged into the Gobi Desert. The Heart Burning Sword Intent and Chaos Sword Qi erupted simultaneously. The remaining Immortal Emperors of the Mysterious Yellow Divine Dynasty were horrified to find that their Mysterious Yellow Law was rapidly evaporating in the Heart Burning karma fire. The demon cultivators of the Myriad Demon Palace were even ignited in their demon cores by the karma fire, letting out screams one after another.

"Xiao Yiyun, you still dare to come?" Yun Che's Eyes of Reversed Time locked onto the figure in the air, who was precisely the Mysterious Yellow Crown Prince who had escaped earlier.

Xiao Yiyun looked at the four keys in Chu Mo's hand, a hint of madness flashing in his eyes: "Even if you collect more keys, you can't stop the Demon God's resurrection! He's in the core of the Primordial Sword Domain, waiting to devour your Source..."

His words were interrupted by Chu Mo's Broken Sword. The Heart Burning Sword Intent transformed into chains, binding Xiao Yiyun to the stone tablet in front of the Sword Palace gate. Chu Mo looked at the four characters "Those who offend me shall be executed" freshly carved on the stone tablet, his voice cold: "Demon God? Good. I'll use his blood to pay tribute to my mother's spirit in heaven."

After the battle ended, Chu Mo and Yun Che stood at the top of the Sword Palace tower, looking at the four keys in their hands. For the first time, the light of the key fragments formed a complete nine-square grid. The position of the fifth key pointed directly to the most dangerous Extreme Cold Ice Abyss in the Immortal Realm.

"Brother Chu Mo, what kind of danger do you think Sister Su Hanxue encountered at the Grand Profound Sect?" Yun Che looked in the direction where the Jade Slip had shattered, a hint of worry in her eyes.

Chu Mo was silent for a moment, then took out the Jade Slip left by Su Hanxue. Deep within the Jade Slip, a wisp of her divine sense was hidden: When you see this message, I have already set off for the Extreme Cold Ice Abyss. The other half of the World Suppressing Seal's law might be found there... Also, I'm sorry, I concealed the true mission of the Heaven Suppressing Saintess...

He suddenly gripped Yun Che's hand, his gaze directed towards the Extreme Cold Ice Abyss. There, not only was the fifth Primordial Chaos Key, but also Su Hanxue's figure traveling alone, and even layers of ambushes from forces like the Reincarnation Palace and the Myriad Demon Palace.

"Yun Che, get ready, we're going to the Extreme Cold Ice Abyss," Chu Mo said softly. "This time, no matter what kind of icy world lies ahead, I won't let anyone sacrifice for us again."

Yun Che nodded, the light of the Heaven Suppressing Seal and the Heart Burning Jade Pendant interweaving in her palm. She knew that Chu Mo had already guessed the mission of the Heaven Suppressing Saintess - it was a destiny of coexisting and perishing with the Chaos Sword Master, a secret that Mother and Su Hanxue had protected with their lives.

The cold wind of the Extreme Cold Ice Abyss howled. On the distant glacier, Su Hanxue's white figure was surrounded by twelve ice swords. She looked at the half of the blood-stained World Suppressing Seal in her hand, a bitter smile on her lips: "Chu Mo, Yun Che, I'm sorry... Some paths must be walked by someone first..."

Before her words finished, the ice swords were already upon her. And at this moment, a seven-colored stream of light cut through the sky. Chu Mo and Yun Che's figures, carrying the karma fire of the Heart Burning and the lightning of the Primal Beginning, appeared in her line of sight.

"Su Hanxue, I told you," Chu Mo's Broken Sword slashed down the ice swords, and Chaos Sword Qi wrapped around her wound. "The companions of the Chaos Sword Master don't need to face the wind and snow alone."

Su Hanxue looked up, seeing the two figures standing side by side before her. She suddenly remembered the mural in the sect's forbidden area - the Chaos Sword Master and the Heaven Suppressing Saintess were originally the only two-colored figures in the painting, a bond destined when the Primordial Chaos first opened.

The glaciers of the Extreme Cold Ice Abyss began to crack. The light of the fifth key, at the moment the three touched, finally lit up. The legend of the Chaos Sword Master, in the inheritance of the Heart Burning Sword Intent and in the crisis of the Extreme Cold Ice Abyss, was taking a more determined step towards the ultimate goal of collecting the nine keys and restarting the Primordial Chaos.

And waiting for them, besides the remaining five keys, was the final awakening of the Chaos Demon God, and the ultimate choice regarding the myriad realms and themselves that the Twin Sword Masters had to face together.
