Chapter 838 [Sword ???]
??Daniel went to his brother''s room in the wooden mansion while the forces of the Awakening Stone passed through him. He tried hard to ignore the painful stings the mythical forces inflicted. They felt like sword shes colliding with his raw flesh, cutting him easily. However, no blood spurted through the surroundings. The wounds were all inflicted inside him…or he wasn''t actually cut in the first ce.
Maybe it was all an illusion created by the mythical forces of the Awakening Stone.
Since Michael was not in the Origin Expanse, Daniel could use his brother''s room in the wooden mansion easily. He needed the silence to focus on the sensation caused by the Awakening Stone''s forces.
Daniel sat on the ground, his back tightly pressed against the bed. He took a few deep breaths and closed his eyes, focusing on the mythical forces coursing through his body.
''Forming Reinforced Sword Qi didn''t take that long. Something is different.''
Daniel frowned deeply but continued focusing on the mythical forces. Atst, he reached out to them with his mental power. However, instead of slowing the mythical forces and gaining control, Daniel found himself staring at a massive whirlpool of mythical forces. They assembled near the Energy Pir and showed signs of forming something.
That something was Danny''s Soultrait Symbol, but it was odd. The Soultrait Symbol didn''t form immediately.
Instead, Daniel found himself filled with vigor. His physique improved, and the mental power he could ess increased by more than ten times. Daniel Fang found his soul expanding and growing more prominent as well. That was, by far, the most shocking experience.
His Soul was already on par with a Higher Lifeform after it had been nourished in the Soul Grimoire and thousands of SoulStar Fragments. The Living Soul might have formed an Unawakened vessel, but that didn''t mean the Soul''s impact and refinement deteriorated in the process.
Daniel understood how strong his soul was at this point. That was also why it was even more shocking to find his forming Soultrait Symbol stimte his soul as well. In the first ce, being able to stimte the Awakened''s body and mind indicated that the Soultrait was, at least, a 6-Star Soultrait…but being able to refine a Soul, which was already on par with a Higher Lifeform''s Soul, while the War Rune was still Tierless…was shocking, to say the least.
As the Soultrait Symbol showed signs ofpleting, Daniel realized something odd. His entire being – the body, mind, and soul – felt like one. He recalled this sensation from Michael''s High Ascension and how Michael acted, moved, and fought after he advanced to a Higher Lifeform. Therefore, Daniel hadn''t thought much about it before. But upon recalling that he wasn''t in his brother''s body anymore, Daniel was bewildered.
''This is not normal. In the first ce, why do I feel like my entire existence has been cleansed?'' He asked himself, perceiving theck of impurities stronger than ever.
He was wless.
Daniel was merely given a second chance. He was just born not too long ago.
His Soultrait Symbol formed, the mythical forces inside him slowly devoured by the white wisps that spread through his mindscape until they reached his mind.
The Soultrait Symbol ispleted with a faint explosion, releasing much whitish-silver energy into the surroundings.
Michael''s bed crumbled instantaneously, and the furniture around him didn''t survive much longer either. Even the walls in Michael''s room were destroyed as the whitish-silver reached them.
Daniel gasped for air. His eyes shot open, revealing vibrant silver irises that reced his darkness-swallowing eyes.
A stream of information impacted Daniel''s mind. No, it wasn''t a stream of information. It was a tidal wave of information that swamped Danny, drowning his mind in its entirety.
He absorbed the information slowly. His greed urged him to devour everything instantaneously and organize the informationter, not to pay any attention to the aftermath and potential issues that may—or may not—arise with instantly digesting a tidal wave of information as a Tierless Awakened, but his rational mind came out victorious.
Daniel Fang absorbed the iing information slowly.
Unfortunately, that didn''t prepare him for what he was about to discover.
Daniel''s jaw hit the ground after his mind digested the first bits of the Soultrait Symbol''s information influx. Goosebumps covered his entire body, and he found himself trembling violently. He couldn''t believe the information. It…didn''t make any sense.
"How is that possible?" He asked into the shambles of a once beautiful room.
Daniel''s Soultrait formed, and he found out what it was.
It was a powerful Soutlrait, a Soultrait much stronger than Reinforced Sword Qi.
[Sword God], a 9-Star Soultrait had formed inside Daniel.
Daniel''s rational mind nked out for a moment. He called upon Zaer to summon the Sword Artifact into his right hand.
His eyes fell upon the beautiful sword that glimmered brightly even though Daniel had yet to use Sword God actively. He trembled in excitement as he swung the weapon in a familiar yet totally unfamiliar way. Daniel executed one sh after another, creating a beautiful sequence of highly lethal attacks using movements he''d never used before.
Yet, despite using movements he''d never used, Daniel discovered them suitable. His instincts told him that the moves were correct, and they felt correct as well. Thus, even though he hadn''t used them before, Daniel continued applying them. His movement sequences elerated, and Danile found himself sweating profusely not even a minute into his spontaneous training session. Nheless, he smiled brightly as his speed elerated.
His mastery of the sword had skyrocketed. Daniel remembered everything he''d gotten to know through Reinforced Sword Qi and learned a lot more.
The most confusing part about that was that Daniel was just getting started. He didn''t even digest 1/100th of Sword God''s information influx. Even 1/100th might be exaggerated. Daniel had merely begun absorbing Sword God''s information.
He smiled brightly but didn''t want to stop there. Daniel slowed the movement sequence until he froze, his eyes locked with the Sword Artifact.
Daniel utilized Sword God actively.
An enormous amount of energy left his physique instantly. Close to 90% of the energy within his Energy Pir evaporated to activate Sword God in its weakest form.
A pristine light coated the Sword Artifact. It was dazzling and of otherworldly beauty. Daniel couldn''t help but stare at the pristine light. He shed downward before realizing where he was…and severed through the wooden manor.
The pristine light left the Sword Artifact at a terrifying velocity. It burst out and transformed into a deadly crescent de beam that cut through the wooden manor, severing it with a single attack.
For a moment, Daniel felt his strength skyrocketing. However, when he released the de beam, the strength left his body. He copsed to the ground, his physique trembling involuntarily.
The whole origin energy permeating his physique and Energy Pir - and more - had been drained instantaneously. A good portion of his lifeforce had been transformed into origin energy to make up for theck of energy to do what he''d just done. Of course, his lifeforce wasn''t enough for that. The Soul Power that had umted in the Sword God Soultrait Symbol had also been drained.
It would take a while to replenish the used-up Soul Power.
As for his lifeforce, Daniel discovered his lifeforce regenerating rapidly. The same applied to his drained origin energy storage. The surrounding energy was pulled toward him. It entered his physique and filled the dried storages quickly.
Daniel was shocked at how much destructive power he had, even though he was still a Lowest Tierless Awakened, and he couldn''t hide his vibrant smile.
Still, it was confusing. Daniel discovered himself overflowing with confusion and excitement – of course.
"How did I manifest Sword God?!"
