Supreme Emperor of Swords

Chapter 717 An Evil Weapon? A Holy Weapon?

Ever since he got the Devil Saber, Ding Hao only fully exerted its power a few times.

This time, however, because his Hell Ice Qi had been suppressed and the Rusted Sword could not exert its power, he used the Devil Saber instead. And this strange thing happened. The saber had revived on its own, devouring the essence and blood of the Black Wolf Demon’s body and recompensing them to Ding Hao. Ding Hao was pleasantly surprised, and could not help but ponder.

The origin of the Devil Saber was mysterious.

The Saber Master and the Sword Master had speculated that it might have been the weapon of a True Primordial Devil. It was abandoned in the primeval world of the Sage Battlefield, and comparable to the Rusted Sword. Both were forbidden-level weapons.

Even now, Ding Hao had not fully understood its power.

So he was feeling a little nervous.

Should he limit the number of times he used the Devil Saber? He would try not to use it as far as possible, since Ding Hao realized that the Devil Saber could trigger the murderous intent in his heart, like a tempting demon encouraging him to sin. If he wielded it too many times, the Devil Saber would end up controlling him. He would become a murderous psychopath enslaved to the saber!

“You don’t have to worry about that.” The voice of the Saber Master suddenly resounded in his mind.

Ding Hao’s eyes lit up and he quickly said, “Immortal of the Saber, please advise me.”

“Wow, hahaha, Little Chap Ding, you’re becoming a smooth talker.” The Saber Master was obviously very satisfied with Ding Hao calling him the Immortal of the Saber. She laughed and said, “I’ve lost count of how many divine sabers I have seen in my life. In my opinion, although this broken saber is evil and can trigger the murderous intent and evil nature in men’s hearts, it is not, I believe, an evil saber. The ability to devour the essence, blood, and flesh of martial experts does not mean that it is evil. It can remove impurities and refine its demonic power, turning it into the purest primeval energy to recompense you. This is a legendary magical power only the most sacred weapon can confer.”

Ding Hao was overjoyed. “So this saber isn’t an evil weapon, but a holy one?”

The Saber Master replied, “Well… I can’t be sure about this at the moment, but I’m certain you can use this saber without any worries. Even if it triggers the murderous intent in your heart, you can still use your Mind Essential of the Invincible Fighting Method to suppress it. After all, the Invincible Fighting Method is a wonderous ancient technique, and the Mind Essential the foremost method to cultivate your Divine Senses and mind. So you won’t find it too difficult to suppress your inner demons.”

The Saber Master’s words allayed Ding Hao’s fears somewhat.

Since the Hell Ice Qi in his Lower Dantian had been suppressed, the Rusted Sword was basically useless now. Hence, it was even more imperative that Ding Hao could unleash the Devil Saber’s power.

If he met a high-level Martial Emperor or Martial Sage that Ding Hao could not defeat with only his strength, the Devil Saber would be his final trump card.

The ability to fully activate the Devil Saber would enable Ding Hao to reach the final stage of this adventure.

He discussed the Devil Saber with the Saber Master for some time more. Only then did Ding Hao put the saber back into his Storage Ring.

Sitting cross-legged on the Saber Intent Rush Cushion, Ding Hao immersed himself in the starry world of Saber Intents.

He had cultivated many times in such a way.

Ding Hao had already comprehended the Four Saber Intents: Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter. Moreover, he had integrated and adapted them, and was fully adept at their execution. Although Ding Hao had always displayed his sword techniques and Sword Intents, rarely using his Saber Intents, he was in fact just as accomplished in his saber techniques and Saber Intents as in his sword.

The Saber Intents and Sword Intents were wonderful, their profundity resembling the Power of the Rules, with myriad variations. They were the supreme magical powers of the Devil Saber and the Rusted Sword. Most people could not ever grasp their profundity in their lifetime. Ding Hao had both the Saber Intent Rush Cushion and the Sword Intent Rush Cushion, and he had the constitution of the Saintly Being of Saber and Sword. Hence, he found it very easy to cultivate them.
