Chapter 623: The Change in the Sword Embryo

Translator: Cynthiia Editor: X, TYZ

Ai Hui was following the change of the sword embryo closely .

Within just a few days' time, the original sword embryo had first changed from a vapor to a foggy sword point, then to Yin Yang fish . Now that there was no more fog around it, the silky sword gradually became denser .

Small swords of different shapes compiled like a vast school of fish .

More interestingly, no matter what shapes the small swords were, they were all in pairs—one yin and one yang . The yin and yang swords were distinctly separate, but twined and rotated around each other constantly .

Small pieces of golden rays splashed and floated in the air like mayflies in the water .

The rotating Yin and Yang sword embryo was like a vortex, and the attraction created a long, thin golden fog belt that tied to the sword embryo like a transparent golden silk .

Ai Hui was shocked by the growth rate of the embryo . He realized how amazing the ancient demonic god had been . Even though it was only an unknown demonic god whose name couldn't be found in any records, the blood it left contained a spiritual imprint that was so strong that it was still indestructible after so many years .

If it were not for the support from Lou Lan and others, his sword embryo would not have gained such a surprising advantage . The sword aura kept flocking in, dividing the Yin and Yang, and making the sword fog denser . Cold lights flickered on the small swords . When they were circling, the impetus was far more colossal than before .

The sword embryo broke the golden light as well as the spiritual imprint of the God's blood into bits . The will of the demonic god was removed from the broken spiritual imprint and became the food for the sword embryo .

This was the golden silky fog .

After being absorbed into the sword embryo, the small swords kept absorbing the nutritious golden fog like greedy fish .

When the golden fog permeated into the small swords, the grey sword began to adopt a metallic luster .

A piercing aura spread out like ripples .

Even among the bloody light pillar, Ai Hui could still feel the apprehension, as if someone was holding a sword against between his eyebrows .

More and more golden light was broken by the sword embryo as its aura grew at an amazing speed .

Indulging in the pure and piercingly cold sword consciousness, Ai Hui's mind and spirit were very clear . The sword embryo seemed to be integrated with his heart, spirit, blood, and flesh . He could feel the pleasant growth of each small sword and the different auras they sent forth .

The aura of each sword was totally different from the others . Some were arbitrary, some pure, some gentle, and some tyrannical . Ai Hui had never thought that there were so many kinds of sword aura in this world . Each kind was so unique, but they were harmonious and blended into an integral whole without any conflicts .

Ai Hui was intoxicated with the various kinds of sword auras .

The root of the sword embryo was his essence, breath, and spirit . Now the growth of the embryo facilitated his accumulation of spirit . The remnant chapter on the sword embryo cultivation now flew in his mind smoothly . Ai Hui felt that he was enlightened, and mysterious content suddenly became understandable .

He didn't know how much time had passed when he woke up from the intoxication and was astonished .

All he could see was the golden fog . It had pervaded the whole place . In the thick fog, Ai Hui could not clearly see the golden light pillar .

He tried to calm himself down . After a while, he began to realize what had happened .

The sword embryo could only absorb the demonic god's spiritual imprint from the God's blood . The other ingredients were useless . However, in the God's blood, the spiritual imprint was only a small part . The ingredients of the God's blood that were related to blood and flesh permeated into Ai Hui's body, nourishing him .

Except for these two parts, the God's blood contained other mysterious powers, which were left behind . Ai Hui couldn't absorb them, so they compiled and flew freely in his body .

The power of the demonic god was beyond Ai Hui's knowledge . Therefore, he held it in awe and veneration .

His blood, flesh, and sword embryo only absorbed a small fraction of its power .

Ai Hui became alert when he saw the scope of the golden fog clearly . It was not easy for him to straighten out all the strong, weird powers within his body . Judging from the current situation, he just needed to wait until the God's blood was totally destroyed by the sword embryo .

Yet, the mysterious golden fog might become his new concern . The more the fog there was, the more dangerous it would be .

The lessons learned were profound . He would never allow unfamiliar powers into his body easily .

Having calmed down, Ai Hui didn't want to covet the power that might be contained in the golden fog . Instead, he began to consider how to get the fog out of his body . To him, the God's blood absorbed by the sword embryo as well as his flesh and blood was enough to enhance his strength .

At this moment, he had no time to explore these unknown components .

Just then, streaks of sword aura flocked into Ai Hui's body from outside . As Ai Hui's essence, breath, and spirit became stronger, he could clearly feel the continuous series of sword formations from the outside world .

Suddenly an idea occurred to him . Why not lead the unknown golden fog into the sword formation?

At the thought of this, the thousands of small swords in the sword embryo began to roar simultaneously .

… . .

On the ridge above the valley, the members of the Sword of Lightning Division lay down on the ground on all sides . Everyone was exhausted, and some members had fallen into sleep, snoring like thunder . They were too tired these past few days . All they had done those days was set up sword formations day and night . They even couldn't remember how many sword formations they had set up . Besides, they needed to offer the blood and flesh of blood fiends collected by front line soldiers as sacrifices to the sword formations .

The latest batch of long swords were not ready yet, and the battle at the front line wasn't over today . The rest time was very precious to them . Everyone was lying on the ground .

Gu Xuan was better off than the others . Although also exhausted, he managed to stand up and watch the thickly dotted sword formations in the valley in fascination .

Shi Zhiguang beside him murmured, "When will our boss wake up? Without him I'm feeling anxious…"

Gu Xuan came back to his senses and said, "Soon . "

Shi Zhiguang's eyes lit up . "Really?"

Gu Xuan said firmly, "Yes! Take a closer look . He is devouring the sword formations now much faster than before and is still accelerating . "

Shi Zhiguang was not a fool . He just hadn't paid attention before . Hearing Gu Xuan's words, his eyes lit up, "Yes, yes! Boss's eating speed has increased so quickly! We can hardly keep up with him now in setting sword formations . "

With one hand clenched, he hit his other hand palm with excitement, "When our boss wakes up, let's put up a thorough fight with them . I'll show them how powerful the Sword of Lightning is . "

He missed the thrill of the fight with the God Wolf Division from last time . That feeling was excellent .

Gu Xuan nodded as he had the same feeling .

Since he was older in age and more mature, he always thought more . He knew that the battle was fierce these days, and their enemies were changing tactics all the time . Everyone was highly focused . So far, their defense was relatively stable, but somehow Gu Xuan always felt uneasy .

Probably because their boss was absent .

Ai Hui was their backbone . When Ai Hui wasn't with them, they felt anxious no matter what they did .

On second thought, however, Gu Xuan felt this was natural because he noticed that not only the Sword of Lightning, but also Division Leader Shi, had the same feeling . Division Leader Shi was strong enough, but she was still willing to follow Boss's lead from the bottom of her heart . So, as a small fry, he took his dependence on Ai Hui for granted .

At this moment, he totally forgot he was the vice division leader of the Sword of Lightning .

What he said to Shi Zhiguang was no lie . It was the conclusion he reached after careful observation .

Boss was going to wake up soon!

Just at this moment, they heard a thundering roar in the valley .

Gu Xuan and Shi Zhiguang jumped up with a start .

The valley was quivering as tens of thousands of swords were chiming .

The sword chime converged into a torrent . The sound could shake one's heart as well as the ground .

At first, Gu Xuan and others were scared, but then on second thought, they were excited . This might be a sign that their boss was going to wake up?

Soon, they realized something was wrong .

"Look at the blood sacrifice sword formation!"

Hearing his words, the others all turned to look toward that sword formation . A blood sacrifice sword formation was a sword formation that was offered the blood and flesh of blood fiends as sacrifice . Lou Lan found that a blood sacrifice sword formation was more helpful for Ai Hui .

Actually, none of them knew how to offer the sacrifice, so they just scattered the blood fiends' blood and flesh into the sword formation . Then, they found that Ai Hui seemed to prefer blood sacrifice sword formations indeed because they would be devoured immediately after they were ready .

That blood sacrifice sword formation was just set with the blood fiends' blood and flesh delivered to them about two hours ago .

The blood sacrifice sword formation suddenly began to shine with a golden light, and the blood and flesh in the formation were soon absorbed like water in the desert . Meanwhile, each long sword in the sword formation had absorbed the blood on its blade .

In an instant, all the blood in the sword formation had completely disappeared .

Clank!

With a clear sword chime, a long sword in the sword formation projected a beam of golden light .

Clank, clank, clank!

Sword chimes could be heard without end . Each long sword in the sword formation projected a beam of golden light which was almost solid . Those beams of golden light were glittering, translucent, and as straight as swords . They crisscrossed in the sky above the sword formation .

Then, with a light cracking sound, a nail-sized piece peeled off the blade of a long sword and turned to ashes and dust before it fell on the ground .

Crack, crack, crack .

Large pieces began to peel off the blade of the sword like an eroded fresco .

All the pieces turned to ashes and disappeared in the air .

After the last cracking sound, all the pieces disappeared, and the scene in front of everyone was very weird .

The sword formation was shrouded by thick golden light . Many swords of light were inserted into the ground . They were bright and dazzling, as if had just been taken out from the smelter . A sword aura shot up into the sky and criss crossed above the sword formation .

the swords formed a ray of light, one by one pierce through the ground .
