Chapter 275 – Sword of Dragon Slayer

　　Clang!

　　Regaining his grip on this sword, what Xu Yang felt was no longer the wanton and raging malice, but an incomparably penetrating coolness.

　　Vaguely, it was as if Xu Yang’s body and mind had merged into the interior of this sword, colliding with the seemingly unidentifiable soul in the world of the Sword Heart.

　　”After sleeping for hundreds of thousands of years, someone has finally come here.”

　　The shadow slowly turned around, a tall silhouette with a reddish body, unlike the shadowy skeleton just now, at this moment, this light shadow didn’t have half a bit of malice towards itself, instead, it was a feeling of attachment, just like the kind of attachment the Nine Petal Dynasty Plant had towards the White Mercy Snow.

　　”These white bones underneath me, were they all killed by you?”

　　Xu Yang couldn’t help but open his mouth to inquire.

　　For him, a weapon was like a cultivator’s second life, if they could not understand each other and trust each other, then the hidden dangers that would be brought about when they faced a strong enemy in the future would be fatal.

　　”Not bad.

　　To be precise, it was the fusion of my previous master’s power with mine that decimated them.

　　Including, just this true dragon that you stepped on.”

　　”It’s actually a dragon slaying sword!

　　No wonder it has such a strong hostile aura.”

　　”What, are you afraid?

　　Afraid of being revolted by the aura on me?

　　But I see that you just performed very well, easily obliterating the desire.”

　　Xu Yang laughed lightly, “You should be able to sense that I possess the Heart of the Near Dao, falsehood is not difficult for me to deal with, what is truly terrifying is my own heart.

　　If I had the heart to slaughter all beings, even without this sword, I would still bring disaster to the world.

　　Cultivation itself is the process of cultivating one’s heart, elevating one’s realm, rewarding with a more enlightened vision, irrigating, and guarding the world, that’s all.”

　　The Sword Spirit revealed a smile, “You are too much like my last master, no, I should say that he was only at the Divine Infant realm when he was your age, and in the future, your future will be much brighter than his.

　　As long as you can follow the rules of this Burial Cultivation Mound, and complete the appropriate experience tests with your chosen magic weapon, you will be able to truly own me and leave this place.”

　　Xu Yang nodded his head gently, “I’ve already prepared myself long ago, let the horses come!”

　　After the words were spoken, everything in front of him gradually disappeared, and Xu Yang regained his vision facing the lonesome distance.

　　At some point, the blood-colored ancient sword had already fallen into his hands.

　　”By the way, I haven’t had the time to ask your name yet.”

　　”Lin Huang.

　　No, that was just the last name.

　　You have to give me a new name first.”

　　Xu Yang was speechless, “Uh, that’s quite a difficult thing to do.

　　After all, I don’t have any knowledge of your power right now, we’re more like a cooperative relationship, and I haven’t even truly conquered you yet, not really being your master.”

　　The Sword Spirit glared, “You’re such a curmudgeon, haven’t you ever thought that after being named by you, wouldn’t I be bound to you in advance?”

　　Xu Yang laughed lightly, “The hardest thing in this world, and the most contradictory, is to force it.

　　I never force anyone to do anything, including myself.

　　If you and I are truly destined to have no destiny, leaving each in peace is also a choice ……” Soon, the sword soul released a powerful power to guide the sword, with the sword soul replacing Xu Yang as the dominant force moving forward in this moment.

　　When this yet unnamed sword detached from this thousand meter white bone mountain, the entire mountain collapsed, turning into scattered dust, all swallowed by the ancient sword into the sword body.

　　The entire process looked astonishing in Xu Yang’s eyes.

　　”You ……” The sword soul smiled blandly, “Otherwise you think, how did my soul power grow?

　　Every dead soul that falls under this sword in your hand, the broken soul source will be devoured by my soul power.

　　Of course, this will not have any effect on you, yet it will be able to bring about a boost for me as the sword soul, thus increasing the power of the weapon itself.”

　　Xu Yang marveled, “I never imagined that there are so many unknowns in the realm of weapons, wonderful.

　　If I’m not wrong, with the shelter of your sword, it should be very useful to fight against the mental power suppression from your opponent.”

　　”This was all seen through by you?”

　　……

　　The light of the path in front of him gradually brightened.

　　Uncountable gigantic beasts began to lay in Xu Yang’s field of vision, all of which were powerful ancient beasts bred within the Burial Cultivation Mound, and a considerable portion of which were soul beasts that only had soul bodies manifesting!

　　”I say, is this the test I have to go through?

　　Merely leading you to kill a few ancient beasts?”

　　The Sword Soul laughed coldly, “Do you think it’s simple?

　　With their strength, they naturally can’t stop you.

　　Not only do you have a deep cultivation base, but you also have a dragon slaying sword like me to draw upon, they are just illusions waiting to be obliterated.

　　But the important thing is that amongst your gongfu, you don’t have a sufficiently powerful and desperate killing move.

　　The Dao evolved by the Yin Yang Diagram was certainly strong, but it was a Dao that evolved the changing patterns of spiritual power in heaven and earth, and could only provide you with a constant supply of spiritual power to support you, and could not be used as a power of the Dao suitable for combat to obliterate your opponents.

　　If I guessed correctly, the opponents you encountered earlier, there are almost none that can surpass you in terms of strength, and even if there were, the gap between you would be negligible.

　　However, as your strength grows, you will face more and more experts in the future, not to mention the fact that once a divine realm like Qilin Mountain is unveiled, many of its powers are unimaginable.

　　At that time, your opponents are going to be much more terrifying than they are now, and without the power of the Way of Attacking and Killing strong enough by your side, it will be hard for you to take advantage.”

　　Xu Yang was very agreeable to the Sword Soul’s words, which in turn made him think of the mysterious old man’s mention on the way to time.

　　There were more than ten million ways of the heavens, and one must learn to physically perceive and sense more and deeper dao powers from between the heavens and the earth in order to make leaps and bounds in one’s strength.

　　”So, this test you’re offering me is to carve out a new and more powerful way of attacking and killing for myself?”

　　”Not bad, this is the only kind of test that the Burial Cultivation Mound leaves you with.

　　Of course, the price to pay is eternity.

　　If you don’t manage to come up with a brand new realization and creative outcome in this area, then you will be trapped here forever.”

　　Xu Yang: “…… “Roar!

　　! Just as he finished speaking, a purple and green colored fierce tiger demonic beast descended in front of him, and judging by its character, its strength should be at the peak Divine Infant realm of the human race.

　　What was even more terrifying was that a pair of feathered wings sprouted out of thin air behind this fierce tiger, sending its plump body into the void.

　　”Beware of its aerial aura blasts!”

　　Xu Yang did not have the appropriate sense of precaution at all, but the Sword Spirit was the first to sense his combat status and gave him the most appropriate advice.

　　Sure enough, the tiger suddenly opened its bloody mouth and blasted down a very powerful ball of spiritual energy at Xu Yang’s position on the ground.

　　Rumble!

　　Rumble! The original position where Xu Yang was standing created an extra large pit several meters deep, which looked quite terrifying.
