Chapter 139: The Seven Thunder Sword

  Seven Thunder Sword

  Zhou Yuan also saw it, and estimated that these two had also tried it before, knowing that the two top-grade yuan stones might be the supporting eyes of the entire Dharma Array, and could not be moved lightly. Otherwise, this place would probably collapse immediately.

  He was never a greedy person to begin with. Upon learning the truth, Zhou Yuan no longer persisted and instead seized the opportunity to absorb the origin energy here.

  "Seven Flame Sword!!" Zhou Yuan's divine sense stirred, and the Seven Flame Sword that was floating in the sea of consciousness immediately flew out. Sensing the extremely dense origin energy here, the true body of the Seven Flame Sword began to tremble slowly, apparently abnormally excited.

  However, Zhou Yuan did not let it start absorbing the origin energy immediately, but instead shot out a series of lightning bolts from the Seven Flames Sword, pouring into the sword's body.

  The Seven Flame Sword is, after all, a treasure of the fire system, suitable for use by fire-system mages. If it were to return to its peak state, Zhou Yuan, a lightning-system mage, would be fundamentally unable to wield this treasure of the fire system. At that time, the two would inevitably be incompatible, and neither would be able to bring out their full strength.

  So, before the Seven Flame Sword recovers its power, Zhou Yuan's first priority is to change his attributes. Originally, if he were in the peak state of the Seven Flame Sword, wanting to change his attributes would be a pipe dream. It's not that he can't do it, even if the sect master Liu Taibai were to intervene, there would be no possibility, and he would still suffer backlash from the sword spirit and get hurt.

  Even if Liu Taibai had the power to suppress the Seven Flames Sword, at its peak state, he still couldn't arbitrarily change the sword's properties. The sword's origin is fire; if another property were forcibly input, it would inevitably lead to conflicts between elements, possibly triggering an elemental explosion and destroying both the sword and its wielder.

  But now it's different, the last time Qiyan Sword was outside Nanhuang, in order to protect Zhou Yuan, he used up his last strength to block Bingzhan once, and in that one move, he had exhausted all his Huo system origin, so now Qiyan Sword doesn't have any Huo system origin power inside, which means this is the best time to change its attribute.

  Zhou Yuan struck out a Thunder Source, which instantly merged into the body of the Seven Flames Sword. Suddenly, the sword began to tremble. The sword had automatically recognized Zhou Yuan as its master, so he could sense the sword's consciousness in a mysterious way. He felt that although the sword's spirit had been severely injured, its will was still there. It resisted the Thunderbolt power that Zhou Yuan inputted from the very beginning, after all, it had already adapted to the Fire Source power. At this time, it was reluctant to accept the Thunderbolt power entering the sword body.

  However, after all, Zhou Yuan was his master, and he had to obey Zhou Yuan's will.

  Gradually, the instrument spirit also began to calm down, trying hard to accept this thunder force. After a stalemate for a moment, the Seven Flame Sword started to absorb Zhou Yuan's thunder force, and the instrument spirit also tried to merge with the thunder force.

  At this point, basically, changing the properties of the Seven Flames Sword was almost a success, and Zhou Yuan also let go, allowing the Seven Flames Sword to start absorbing the elemental energy here.

  The instrument spirit of the Seven Flame Sword also sensed Zhou Yuan's will and immediately trembled with excitement, as it merged with the power of thunder and began to frantically absorb the dense origin energy here.

  Ah!!!

  In an instant, on the body of the Seven Flames Sword, a whirlpool-like phenomenon appeared, and a large amount of yuan force was emitted from the yuan stone in the observation, and then all flowed into the body of the Seven Flames Sword.

  The Seven Flame Sword, at this moment, was like a whale sucking in water, absorbing the yuan energy at an almost unbelievable speed. Zhou Yuan could see that many of the yuan stones were being consumed at an alarming rate. The originally radiant and shining yuan stones began to darken after just a short while, revealing their true nature as mid-grade yuan stones.

  Of course, the top-grade yuan stone needs to be a bit better, it takes an hour of absorption before the top-grade yuan stone starts to fade, and the Seven Flames Sword doesn't waste any time at all. As soon as the top-grade yuan stone here starts to show signs of fading, it stops absorbing these inferior yuan stones and instead goes after other intact top-grade yuan stones in the cave.

  Zhou Yuan couldn't help but bitterly smile in his heart. These seven Flame Swords were indeed extremely picky, and as long as they weren't top-grade Spirit Stones filled with spiritual energy, they wouldn't absorb them. Instead, they would go and absorb those intact top-grade Spirit Stones. As a result, the speed at which he absorbed them became shockingly fast, because only when the Spirit Stones were more perfect would the spiritual energy flowing out of them be more concentrated, but towards the later stages, it would become increasingly diluted.

  However, Zhou Yuan was not so picky about these things. After all, his boundary was only at the killing life tribulation boundary, and a middle-grade yuan stone was enough for him to absorb, let alone a high-grade yuan stone?

  These top-grade yuan stones, although they had been absorbed by the Seven Flames Sword, were still much better than mid-grade yuan stones for Zhou Yuan. They would be more than enough for his cultivation.

  Zhou Yuan was not to be outdone, and with a burst of encouragement from Feng Xiao Xue, he immediately activated the War God's Magic Classics, transforming himself into a terrifying vortex that began frantically absorbing yuan energy.

  He is now roughly in the middle of this killing life tribulation, and his internal yuan force would be enough for an ordinary cultivator to break through to the Lingkong Xuvu stage. However, for him, it's still far from sufficient. Firstly, his body is special, with a strong accumulation of energy, so he needs more yuan force than an ordinary cultivator to break through to the Lingkong Xuvu stage. Moreover, he also understands that the stronger the accumulation, the higher the achievement will be when breaking through to the Lingkong Xuvu stage.

  Zhou Yuan had plans, and when he returned to the True Martial Academy from the Yan Luo Ghost Territory, he should be able to break through to the Ling Kong Virtual Crossing realm. This realm was something Zhou Yuan had been yearning for a long time. Who wouldn't want to fly freely in the air?

  Feng Ao Xue watched as Zhou Yuan began to absorb, and she didn't waste any more time either. She found a place very close to Zhou Yuan and started cultivating as well. In a place with such dense yuan qi, the improvement in her realm was extremely fast. Feng Ao Xue had only cultivated for a short while when she could feel that her realm, which had been stagnant for days, was slowly advancing towards the Golden Dan realm.

  Dozens of feet away, the woman who had just spoken to Zhou Yuan looked at him and saw that his absorption speed of yuan qi had reached a terrifying level. Her eyes were filled with shock, and Zhou Yuan took out a strange artifact and began frantically absorbing yuan qi, which shocked her even more.

  It's worth noting that a magical artifact capable of absorbing yuanqi on its own is extremely powerful. Generally, only artifacts with an awakened artifact spirit possess self-awareness, and even heavenly artifacts can't achieve this. So, what kind of realm does Zhou Yuan's artifact belong to? It's enough to make him feel terrified.

  It can be imagined that Zhou Yuan's sword has surpassed the existence of a heavenly artifact, but she can also see that the sword in Zhou Yuan's hand seems to have suffered heavy damage. The body's strength is very weak, and the sword absorbs a large amount of yuan energy, apparently to recover its own strength.

  "This sword has gained sentience and has been refined into a spiritual artifact, an existence that surpasses even heavenly-grade artifacts. And yet, Zhou Yuan's body holds such a treasure, no wonder he's so renowned in the True Martial Academy! Indeed, his reputation is not undeserved!" The woman thought to herself with a complex expression as she gazed at Zhou Yuan.

  She stared intently at Zhou Yuan, discovering that his speed of absorbing the Origin Qi was also abnormally terrifying. Compared to her, a Void Spirit Stage cultivator, he was much faster, almost dozens of times faster. What kind of concept was this?

  She was one realm lower than him, but her speed of absorbing the heaven and earth's origin energy was dozens of times faster than his. What kind of reverse heavenly power was this? The female mage became even more interested in Zhou Yuan.

  She glanced at the masked man on one side, and found that he was just looking at Zhou Yuan's gaze, which was a bit complicated. However, towards Zhou Yuan's ability, he didn't show too much surprise. This point, instead, made her very suspicious, as if this masked man had known Zhou Yuan for a long time, and was very clear about all the means he showed, without any unexpected expression.

  Hmmm...

  At this moment, a purple glow burst out from the body of the Seven Flames Sword. Electric arcs continuously emerged from within the sword and surged on its surface.

  Zhou Yuan's heart was filled with great joy, he could feel that these seven Flame Swords had finally completed their transformation, the instrument spirit and the power of thunder and lightning perfectly merged together.

  From now on, this sword will no longer be the treasure of the fire system, but the treasure of the thunder system.

  From now on, he should no longer be called Seven Flame Sword, but rather Seven Thunder Sword.
