Chapter 731: 248 Chapter 731: 248 Even Su Changkong took a month to fully recover from his injuries; one can imagine how severely Qin Miesheng had wounded him.

“Qin Miesheng calls himself ‘The Undying’…

if you truly haven’t died, I will one day turn you to ash, scatter your soul to the winds!”
Su Changkong’s intent to kill Qin Miesheng, the one who nearly ended his life, was undoubtedly at its extreme.

It was very likely that Qin Miesheng had not died, the real him must be a monster terrifying enough to rival a Martial Saint!

But Su Changkong swore in secret that no matter what kind of monster Qin Miesheng was, no matter how terrifying or powerful, he would one day make him pay a terrible price!

“Speaking of which…

that Qin Miesheng should be just a soul, a soul capable of leaving the flesh to move freely, and yet able to unleash such fearsome lethality?

Can my Blade Soul reach this level too?”
At the same time, Su Changkong recalled the terrifying strike ignited by the burning of Qin Miesheng’s Monster Soul, and his thoughts became active.

A human soul is both powerful and fragile, so fragile that it cannot survive without a body; if the body dies, the soul perishes with it.

It is powerful because it is the essence of the body, the fundamental force that controls physical actions.

Without a soul, a person is just a lifeless husk!

Qin Miesheng himself is very special, perhaps not even human, but some kind of uniquely blessed race, or even…

a real demon monster!

That is why Qin Miesheng could move his soul freely even after leaving his body and could burn his soul to unleash a self-destructive attack of terrifying lethality.

If he could achieve this level, then surely I can study this aspect for myself.

In the Ten Thousand Soul Warrior Tomb, Su Changkong honed his Blade Intent to the limit, breaking his shackles, allowing Blade Intent to merge with his soul, reshaping his soul, and metamorphosing it into a Blade Soul!

A mere mortal weapon in Su Changkong’s hands seemed to possess a soul of its own, even more terrifying than a Divine Weapon.

But Su Changkong felt his use of the Blade Soul was still at a very preliminary stage; the potential of the Blade Soul might not be limited to this, and there was still room for improvement!

For example…

like Qin Miesheng, allowing the Blade Soul to leave the Sea of Consciousness and the flesh, to harm the enemy!

Without a doubt, this was a bold idea; letting the soul leave the body was truly playing with fire, as one mistake could mean eternal doom!

“Nevertheless…

let’s give it a try!”
Although Su Changkong was cautious, he was not a timid man.

He knew that as a Martial Artist, if one hesitates on the path of Martial Arts, lacking a fearless heart and a disregard for life and death, always looking before leaping, hoping for a significant breakthrough would be nothing but daydreaming!

In the Heaven Silkworm Cave, he sent Qian Rui away, and Su Changkong sat alone in silent meditation to begin a new period of secluded cultivation, translating understanding into practice.

Immersed in concentration, Su Changkong saw a sea of Nothingness; the sea appeared no bigger than a bullet, yet also infinite in scope.

This was Su Changkong’s Sea of Consciousness, and within it, a colorless long sword quietly hovered.

The sword was simple and unadorned, with only a blade and handle, seeming like the most primal form of a sword.

This was Su Changkong’s Blade Soul!

“Let the Blade Soul…

leave my Sea of Consciousness, my flesh…”
Taking a deep breath, Su Changkong focused his intent on the Blade Soul, urging it to exit his Sea of Consciousness.

Easy to say, but in practice quite difficult.

Although Su Changkong could utilize the power of the Blade Soul, controlling it to move was a challenge tantamount to an infant learning to ride a bicycle without first knowing how to walk, the difficulty immense.

But Su Changkong persevered.

His Heaven Silkworm Technique had broken through to the ninth tier, both life span and potential undergoing a qualitative change, monstrously beyond what common folk could imagine!

Gradually, the Blade Soul began to move, from the center of the Sea of Consciousness to its edge.

But upon reaching the edge, the Blade Soul transmitted a natural resistance, or more accurately, a fear!

It feared leaving the greenhouse of the Sea of Consciousness, to encounter the outside world.

Just like a fish living in water, fearing to leap onto the waterless land.

The soul is naturally within the body, growing protected by the body.

To ask it to leave the body and face the dangers and unknowns of the outside world provoked an instinctual resistance and fear.

“What’s there to fear?

Between the vast land and the sky, through mountains of swords and seas of fire, all are worth traversing!”
Su Changkong clenched his teeth, forcefully suppressed the fear from his soul, and thrust the Blade Soul out of the Sea of Consciousness.

Hisss!

With a faint piercing sound, Su Changkong’s consciousness briefly stalled.

He felt something rush out from his brow.

“Is this…

myself?”
Regaining clarity, Su Changkong witnessed a strange sight, his perspective changing, he saw his own meditating form!

A simple, unremarkable sword shining with a cold light hovered in the air.

This was Su Changkong’s Blade Soul!

It had left the Sea of Consciousness, casting off the shackles of the flesh, and his intent, focused on the Blade Soul, now saw his meditating self.

“This sensation…

it’s as if I myself have become a sword!”
Even Su Changkong marveled at the bizarre state he was in, with the Blade Soul having left the Sea of Consciousness, escaping the confines of the body.

“My Blade Soul, it’s weakening upon contact with air!”
But soon, Su Changkong realized the downside of this state.

Without the nourishment of the Sea of Consciousness and the protection of the body, Su Changkong felt his Blade Soul rapidly deteriorating.

It was like a non-swimmer leaping from a boat into the water; a soul that leaves the Sea of Consciousness and the body cannot last long in this state, weakening swiftly until it vanishes!
