Chapter 1157: Artifact Spirit Awakens

Apart from the heat, there was a beating feeling which was the exact same as his heartbeat.

In the past, it was a dead item. No matter what methods Zong Shou used, he wasn’t able to find out anything about it. It was sealed off from the inside.

At this moment, it seemed like it had come alive. Its entire body gave off a cold blue spiritual light.

Zong Shou’s spiritual sense could also reach in to check out the secrets within.

Shortly after, the illusion of Lu Wushuang hugging Diao Chan appeared in front of his eyes.

He could also sense the sadness that spread out from the artifact.

Lu Wushuang’s emotional state then was completely taken in by the artifact.

Despair, regret, sadness, rage, anger... all mixed together and they charged at Zong Shou’s heart.

He thought back to before when Su Xiaoxiao was forced to kill herself and he could only look on without being able to do anything.

Zong Shou hated himself. He also wanted to rip the world into pieces!

However, he was a top swordsman, and with just a deep breath, he was able to calm himself down once more.

He knew that no matter how much hate and rage he felt, it was useless. Not only would it not aid the situation, but it would also cause him to fall into an irreplaceable situation.

Even if he wanted to kill, to take revenge, to massacre people, he would need a clear mind to do so. Only then could one make the most accurate judgments.

“Is this God Artifact unsealed? My heart resonates with it which must be why I awakened the spirit?”

Just thinking about it, Zong Shou understood what was going on.

Just now when Su Xiaoxiao’s life force disappeared, his heart was similar to thousands of years ago before Lu Wushang had died in battle.

This was why the artifact spirit was awakened and had unsealed itself. Both man and artifact resonated with one another. It allowed him to see the situation thousands of years ago when Lu Wushang walked on the path of no return.

Path of no return?

Zong Shou gave a self-mocking laugh. Before Su Xiaoxiao killed himself, he was indeed in a desperate situation.

At this moment, although he was able to keep his life, he wasn’t able to feel happy at all.

Zong Shou’s expression became serious.

“Xiaoxiao said that this item is the Xuan Increasing Law Containing Wings! That year Lu Wushuang used an Initial Saint Realm Body to sweep the world. End Realm experts avoided him and he won all battles! Just as Jingyin said, it was an item that could allow one to charge up into the Heavens. When used on swords it can make them godlike. When used on spells, it can enter the Supreme Realm. If I want to become Buddha I can immediately ascend. If I want to be King I can rule many worlds. If I want to cultivate I will have immortal life. Since that is the case...”

With a thought, Zong Shou drew the item into his Soul Ocean and melted it into his True Image.

Then, his entire Soul Ocean, his whole body, and his spiritual sense were changing crazily.

The remnant True Qi and soul power within merged into one, turning into pure Celestial Power.

Zong Shou could also sense that his body was crazily changing. This strength was increasing at an unimaginable rate.

“This is the Indestructible Body...”

Spirit Realm cultivators could connect to the source of Heaven and Earth.

Celestial Realm could complete an internal world and not require outside help. They could revive from a drop of blood and form the Incorruptible Body.

God Realm cultivators could turn all their energy to Celestial Power. It was an existential change, 10 times stronger than Celestial Realm experts!

At Saint Realm, one could use the Dao, fully touching the foundations of the world, merging the power of the Dao into one’s Martial Path, spells, and abilities! One would also have an Indestructible Body. Unless the physical body collapsed and one suffered fatal injuries, the body would exist forever!

An End Realm Saint Venerable rests the soul of the Dao. He could project a world in his internal Heaven and Earth to form his own special region.

Any relevant Dao to his own body would be 100 times stronger!

His body could be seen as the Dao itself. As long as this Heaven and Earth still existed, his soul would never be destroyed and he would live forever.

“This is Saint Realm! Moreover, it is at least mid Saint Realm...”

Zong Shou’s eyes flashed in shock. He only felt a huge amount of Celestial Power flowing in his body.

The Imperial Calamity Facing Record’s 30-foot space formed a world of its own and was blocked off from the outside world.

It also cut off the route for Buddhist Power to be injected in.

However, he could feel that the amount of power he could use, be it quality or volume, was no weaker than the Unlimited Beginning and End Body!

Within the Dharma True Image core that Dao word was being slowly completed.

His current level was no weaker than those true Saint Realm experts!

The Xuan Increasing Law Containing Wings had already spread out and formed a pair of giant white wings that were attached to his back. They were very bright and scattered numerous white specks of light that shone into his soul.

Li Biexue’s remnant spiritual sense knew that it wasn’t good as it charged all around and struggled.

It tried to suppress Zong Shou’s soul once more. However, when Zong Shou’s True Image rose to Saint Realm, it was more and more powerless. It was being withered down bit by bit and chased out...

At this moment, Zong Shou didn’t have time to bother.

“So, that is the case! So, that is the case! If he obtains this he can become half a step True Realm. He might even be able to merge with the Dao and enter the True Realm. No wonder he didn’t fear Xiuguan and the Lu Family. Even if the entire Demon Path was wiped out he didn’t care. Holding a treasure really is a crime...”

Naturally, he was referring to Wushang Yuan Demon Li Biexue. As long as Li Biexue entered half a step True Realm, it was only a matter of time before he merged with the Dao and entered True Realm.

The wings could increase any half a step Heaven Opening Weapon to Heaven Opening End Treasure level.

So, what could Lu Family do? He could destroy them with a wave of his hand! So, what could Xiuguan do? He could kill him with a flick of a finger!

Zong Shou had an idea. Just now, he only buffed his own foundations. If he buffed his spells or his sword, then what would happen?

Zong Shou did it right away. The wings were easy to change. His body full of Celestial Power retreated and then he stabbed out in a weird and mysterious trajectory.

No ripples exploded out in this narrow space.

However, Zong Shou was totally stunned.

“It can make the sword godlike...”

The sword was at his dream level; the Ten Thousand Law merged into One Realm!

It was the final stroke of his One Origin Sword – One Origin Merge Sword!

Godlike! It could peak into the Dao and become a god!

The pinnacle of the Sword Path that he had dreamt of and had tried to enter was now easily displayed. Even he himself didn’t know how he did it.

At this moment, it was probably at the late God Realm of the Sword Path. If it improved and reached the peak, then his sword would create Dao Marks – Great Dao Heaven Marks!

So what if he used it on spells?

“When used on spells it will be Supreme Realm...”

Black and White Beginning and End was too powerful. He wasn’t able to use it here.

Zong Shou instantiated the close to 200 Star Dao Seeds in his Soul Ocean.

As expected, there were some changes but he couldn’t understand where the changes were.

He only knew that if he used this to smack people, the strength would only be weaker than when he used the Styx River Death Sword.

This wasn’t because the ability itself was weaker but because there were only 200 stars. The three enclosures and four palaces weren’t gathered and formed yet...

At this moment, the teleportation ability was more perfect!

He kept the Star Dao Seeds and took out a flying knife.

It was one of the Zimu Fallen Leaf Knives. A pale silver glow appeared on the tip.

It spun on his fingers. Zong Shou felt that the moment he struck out, its strength was only slightly weaker than the Celestial Slaying Knife from before!

There were no changes in the knife. What changed was the Six God Defensive Knife Technique. After being buffed, this flying knife technique had also risen by several grades.

Even the complete Six God Defensive Knife was probably weaker than this!

If he had the true Celestial Slaying Flying Knife, then it would be a true Supreme Technique.

Neglecting Realm and it could even disregard End Realm Saint Venerables.

“Speaking of which, to me, rather than buff my body why not use it to buff techniques...”

Since the Six God Defensive Knife Technique was already so strong, then what if it buffed the Unlimited Beginning and End Technique? Or, the Styx River Death Sword?

Those two abilities were close to Supreme abilities!

Coincidentally, at this moment, the 30-foot region started to shake.

Zong Shou’s eyes flashed sharply. The blade light spinning on his fingertips disappeared instantly.

The ripples meant that Chi Hongyi and the rest were trying to break in.

A few Saint Realm experts were working together, and they did have spells to actually shake the world barrier and charge into this 30-foot space.

However, how would the absolute defense of a True Realm technique be so easily broken? They were just wasting their energy.

Zong Shou’s eyes were filled with darkness as he caressed Su Xiaoxiao’s forehead.

The ice-cold temperature caused his heart to feel like it was stabbed with thousands of needles.

If she died just like this he wouldn’t be able to forgive himself.

“Rats!”

Zong Shou was really calm, seeing death as a release. He treated himself like that and treated others the same too.

“Xue’er, help me take care of her. Protect her...” action

Chuxue didn’t ask and just acknowledged.

Zong Shou once again used the wings to buff his True Image. He then directly sat still and entered meditation.

Considering the time, the records could last for four more hours. At that time, the True Qi in his body would dry up.

This was why this hour was the best. In this hour, he had to heal his injuries, clean his Soul Ocean, and force out the remaining spiritual sense left by Li Biexue.

Didn’t he want to take the wings from him? Then, if blood didn’t flow, he wouldn’t let the matter rest!

When he woke up, he would vent his hatred and his anger!

There was a buzz in his mind as the glowing wing shook.

Following behind it, even the One Origin Sword and God Refined Swords started to ring out.
