Chapter 81: Ch 81- Blood Saber Intent
Thirty days later, inside the Cultivation Tower.
Mo Yuan was standing in the middle of his cultivation room with his saber in his hand. For the past month, he had followed the same routine every single day. Twelve hours were spent cultivating Primordial Qi Body Tempering Method, while the remaining twelve hours were used to practice the Boundless Saber Art.
Since he had already reached the Origin Sea Realm, going without sleep for a month wasn’t a problem for him. His body was already far beyond that of an ordinary human.
At this moment, Mo Yuan swung his saber again.
The movement was simple but there was a strange feeling accompanying it.
As the saber moved, Mo Yuan suddenly felt that something which had been blocking his understanding for a long time had disappeared.
His mind became completely clear.
The countless movements of the Boundless Saber Art that once seemed complicated suddenly connected together in his mind. Every movement, every change in angle and every way of using strength became much easier to understand.
It was as if he had been looking at a puzzle with countless pieces and suddenly someone had shown him how all those pieces fit together.
Mo Yuan’s eyes widened.
’So that’s how it works.’
He swung his saber again.
The movement became smoother.
Then another swing and another.
His saber seemed to naturally follow the flow of his body.
A few moments later, Mo Yuan stopped.
A smile slowly appeared on his face. He had finally reached the Minor Achievement realm of the Boundless Saber Art.
’Finally.’
Mo Yuan looked at the saber in his hand and couldn’t help but smile.
’Minor Achievement gives a 9x strength multiplier.’
’Then I have the 10x multiplier from my Peak Grade Strength Talent and another 2x from Primordial Qi.’
He was just about to calculate his current strength but suddenly, something strange happened.
Mo Yuan’s expression changed.
’Wait...’
He could clearly feel something happening inside his body.
The saber intent within him suddenly began to stir. It was as if it had been awakened by his breakthrough in the Boundless Saber Art.
’What the hell is happening?’
A terrifying blood-colored aura burst out from his body, spreading through the entire cultivation room.
The walls, floor and even the furniture were instantly covered with countless saber marks. Anything that came into contact with the Saber Intent was cut apart.
Mo Yuan’s expression changed.
"What the hell?"
He hurriedly tried to suppress his Saber Intent but instead of listening to him, it became even more violent.
The color of his Saber Intent slowly changed.
It started turning red.
At first, it was only a faint red but within a few seconds, the entire room was dyed blood-red.
Mo Yuan could feel an extremely dangerous aura coming from his own body.
Then he heard a voice inside his mind.
’Kill.’
’Kill.’
’Kill.’
Mo Yuan’s body trembled.
"What is happening?"
His breathing became heavier and his eyes slowly turned red.
"Shit! Why is this happening?"
He had not even tried to comprehend his Saber Intent.
He had only broken through in the Boundless Saber Art, yet his Saber Intent had suddenly started moving on its own.
"Could this be because of the Boundless Saber Art?"
Mo Yuan immediately realized the answer.
"No shit! That’s definitely the reason!"
Qin Qiong’s warning suddenly appeared in his mind.
Blood Saber Intent.
Once it reached the Manifestation Realm, it could erupt and attempt to take control of its owner.
At that time, the cultivator would become nothing more than a killing machine.
"I need to stop it!"
Mo Yuan desperately tried to control his Saber Intent but the voices inside his head only became louder.
’Kill!’
’Kill!’
’KILL!’
His eyes became completely blood-red.
His consciousness was slowly being swallowed by the violent killing intent and his saber slipped from his hand and fell to the ground but a few seconds later, Mo Yuan slowly bent down and picked it up again.
His expression had completely changed.
A strange and evil smile appeared on his face.
"Hehehe..."
His body moved as if he was about to attack but just before he could take another step, something suddenly happened inside his mind.
Mo Yuan’s consciousness was dragged into the strange talent tree he had encountered before.
The familiar golden Copy and Paste Talent at the very top suddenly started shining.
Then, without warning, it flashed brightly and the blood-red Saber Intent surrounding Mo Yuan instantly disappeared.
The room returned to normal.
The terrifying voices inside his mind vanished as if they had never existed.
Mo Yuan’s blood-red eyes slowly returned to normal.
His body swayed.
"Wh... what..."
Before he could finish speaking, his consciousness went dark.
Thud!
Mo Yuan’s body collapsed onto the floor, completely unconscious.
Half an hour later, Mo Yuan slowly opened his eyes.
"Agh..."
A sharp headache immediately hit him, causing him to groan in pain. He raised one hand and rubbed his forehead before slowly sitting up.
His vision was still a little blurry but after a few seconds, he looked around.
He was still inside the cultivation room.
’What happened?’
Mo Yuan frowned.
Then, like a flood, his memories suddenly came rushing back.
The breakthrough in the Boundless Saber Art and his Saber Intent suddenly going out of control. Then the entire room being covered in blood-red Saber Intent.
Those terrifying voices inside his head.
’Kill.’
’Kill.’
’Kill.’
Then he remembered his eyes turning completely red and the strange smile appearing on his face.
Finally, he remembered seeing the talent tree inside his mind.
The golden Copy and Paste Talent had suddenly flashed and everything had returned to normal before he lost consciousness.
Mo Yuan’s expression became serious.
’That was dangerous.’
He couldn’t help but feel a little scared when he thought about what could have happened if his Copy and Paste Talent hadn’t activated.
’Thank god the Copy and Paste Talent saved me.’
’Otherwise, I might have really lost control and died.’
Mo Yuan let out a sigh of relief.
He was about to check his condition when suddenly, a voice came from somewhere inside the room.
"Looks like you’re awake."
Mo Yuan’s body instantly became tense.
His eyes widened and he immediately turned toward the source of the voice.
"What the fuck?"
He hadn’t sensed anyone entering the room.
More importantly, he was certain that he had locked the room before beginning his cultivation.
So how could someone be here?
