Deep within the secluded mountains, far from any human presence, Chen Xin and Chen Yuan hovered mid-air, their master-disciple battle on the verge of erupting.
With a wave of his hand, Chen Xin summoned his Seven Kill Sword. However, instead of the usual soul rings appearing, nine stars materialized on the blade, corresponding to the colors of his soul rings: two yellow, two purple, and five black. The nine stars aligned in a row, causing the Seven Kill Sword to radiate an overwhelming pressure.
Chen Xin spoke with pride, "Yuan'er, even with your Slaughter God Domain and your 100,000-year soul ring, don't think you can easily surpass me. Since breaking through to the 97th rank, my strength has soared to unprecedented heights."
Seeing this, Chen Yuan immediately understood that Chen Xin had successfully refined his soul rings, integrating all nine into his martial soul. He was eager to see just how much the Seven Kill Sword had improved after this refinement.
Without hesitation, Chen Yuan summoned his own martial soul, and the terrifying sight of his seven soul rings reappeared. With a serious expression, he declared, "Teacher, you'd better be careful. I'm much stronger now."
As soon as the words left his mouth, Chen Yuan launched his attack. With the aid of his Wind and Thunder Wings, he closed the distance in an instant, thrusting his Seven Kill Sword directly at Chen Xin.
Chen Xin's eyes narrowed. In terms of pure speed, he was already inferior to his disciple. However, his lifelong mastery of the sword allowed him to instinctively deflect the attack with a flick of his blade.
Chen Yuan quickly adjusted his stance, his strikes growing heavier with each blow. Chen Xin found it increasingly difficult to parry, feeling the pressure mounting.
Chen Xin was deeply shocked. Although Chen Yuan's swordsmanship still lagged behind his own, his superior speed and strength gave him the upper hand, almost overwhelming Chen Xin.
In a matter of moments, the two exchanged dozens of blows. The clash of their Seven Kill Swords created a flurry of sparks, their movements so rapid that the sound of their blades colliding resembled a downpour. The shockwaves from their strikes sent ripples of energy cascading through the air.
Despite being a Titled Douluo, Chen Xin was at a disadvantage. The immortal herbs, soul rings, and soul bones Chen Yuan had absorbed had enhanced his physical strength to a terrifying degree.
While Chen Xin felt a sense of pride in his disciple's growth, he couldn't help but feel a pang of frustration. As a teacher, he was being pushed to his limits by his own student. With a thought, Chen Xin's Seven Kill Sword seemed to awaken, radiating an unparalleled sharpness.
In their next clash, Chen Yuan's Seven Kill Sword trembled and let out a mournful hum, as if in pain.
Chen Yuan quickly retreated, frowning as he held his sword. With his left hand, he gently ran his fingers along the blade, calming its vibrations. He then looked at Chen Xin with a mix of surprise and admiration. It seemed that after multiple evolutions and the integration of nine soul rings, the Seven Kill Sword had been enhanced to an extraordinary degree, capable of inflicting significant damage even to his own weapon.
Chen Xin, feeling somewhat embarrassed, cleared his throat and said with pride, "Yuan'er, you've done well. If your Seven Kill Sword were just a bit sharper, it would have been me retreating this time."
Realizing the gap between their swords, Chen Yuan knew that even with his superior speed and strength, he couldn't overcome the difference in their martial souls. He then declared, "Teacher, what I'm about to show you is what I gained in the Slaughter City—the Slaughter God Domain!"
As he spoke, a blinding crimson light erupted from Chen Yuan's Seven Kill Sword, spreading rapidly and enveloping the surrounding 300 meters in a world filled with killing intent.
Within this domain, Chen Yuan's strength increased by 20%, while Chen Xin's strength was reduced by 20%. Although the Slaughter God Domain had regressed to its basic form, it had reached a perfected state due to the vast amount of killing intent Chen Yuan had absorbed after slaying the Crimson Nine-Headed Bat King. With just one more step, he would likely be able to unleash a domain skill.
Chen Xin's expression shifted to one of astonishment as he felt the effects of the domain. Despite his 97th rank, his strength had been reduced by 20%. The Slaughter God Domain was indeed fearsome.
However, Chen Xin smiled and said, "Yuan'er, there's something you don't know. After my Seven Kill Sword evolved, I gradually developed and mastered my own domain—the Seven Kill Domain!"
As he spoke, a black-and-white light erupted from his Seven Kill Sword, pushing back the crimson light of the Slaughter God Domain and creating a balance between the two domains.
At the center of the black-and-white light, Chen Xin explained, "The Seven Kill Domain I've mastered consists of two parts: the black represents killing intent, which can annihilate the soul, and the white represents sword energy, which can destroy the body. Within my domain, these two forces merge to create a power capable of obliterating both body and soul. This is the ultimate expression of the Seven Kill Sword's power."
"Yuan'er, you are stronger than me. Perhaps in the near future, you will comprehend the ultimate power of the Seven Kill Sword. When that happens, with both the Seven Kill Domain and the Slaughter God Domain, you will truly surpass me."
Chen Yuan stared in awe at the black-and-white Seven Kill Domain. It seemed that after breaking through to the 97th rank, Chen Xin had unlocked a new level of power, as if he had opened the floodgates of his potential.
With the Seven Kill Domain and his refined Seven Kill Sword, Chen Xin's current strength might even rival that of a 98th-rank Super Douluo.
Returning to the battle, Chen Yuan spoke again, "Congratulations, Teacher, on mastering the Seven Kill Domain. Now, please witness my strongest attack…"
Taking a deep breath, Chen Yuan shouted, "Seventh Soul Skill, Seven Kill Avatar!"
As he spoke, the red soul ring glowed brightly, its blood-red patterns appearing as if they could drip blood.
A surge of terrifying energy condensed and compressed within him before exploding outward. A fierce sword energy swept through the area, and a massive 300-meter-long Seven Kill Sword materialized in the sky, its cold light capable of tearing through heaven and earth.
This was the terrifying power of a 100,000-year soul ring—a 700% boost to all attributes and soul skills. With the activation of his martial soul avatar, Chen Yuan could now fully unleash the power of the Seven Kill Sword.
"Sixth Soul Skill, Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin!"
Chen Yuan's soul power drained rapidly as a thousand 300-meter-long Seven Kill Swords appeared in the sky. Even with his soul power nearly depleted, he could only summon a thousand swords.
Chen Yuan knew that using both his martial soul avatar and Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin placed an immense strain on his soul power. Only when he reached the Titled Douluo level would he be able to fully unleash the power of Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin while in his avatar state.
"Seven Kill Sword Formation!"
The sky filled with massive Seven Kill Swords, their energies interconnected, forming a unified force. The attack power increased by 400%, and the sheer magnitude of the sword formation far surpassed the power Chen Yuan had used to slay the Crimson Nine-Headed Bat King.
Chen Xin was left speechless. If he wasn't careful, this attack could very well end his life…
