Chapter 239: Myriad Sword Intent, The Power of that One Sword_1

"Xu Ran..." Xiaowu stood gracefully to the side, gazing at Xu Ran clad in his armor and feeling the dominating aura of someone who shuns all rivals, she couldn't help but be captivated.

The usual Xu Ran had a roguishly handsome look, always with a mischievous smile at the corners of his mouth that would involuntarily attract girls. But now, Xu Ran was extremely domineering, with an extraordinary valor.

Xu Ran was an Auspicious Beast, the Soul Beast Emperor, who also possessed a human form, with a talent that defied the heavens.

Under the heavens, no one could compare with Xu Ran.

Throughout the history of both humans and the Soul Beast Clan, apart from the Dragon God, Xu Ran was the most outstanding existence.

She even had a premonition that Xu Ran's future achievements might even surpass those of the legendary Dragon God.

"Is this the real him?" Zi Ji's heart fluttered secretly as she watched Xu Ran with such charisma. How could she not be moved? The Xu Ran before her eyes, who merged the blood essence of myriad beasts into his armor, donned in black armor and wearing a crown that symbolized kingship, looked like a true sovereign of the Soul Beasts.

Compared to the Dragon God, apart from strength, the Auspicious Beast was more of a monarch to the Soul Beasts.

As countless years passed, the Soul Beast Race developed over so many years, and apart from strength, how many Soul Beasts still knew of the Dragon God? But in the face of the Auspicious Beast, all Soul Beasts could feel the benefits the Auspicious Beast brought to them, and they willingly guarded it.

Bi Ji's heart also stirred secretly; now she finally understood why the proud Zi Ji, who always fought with her and was so arrogant, would be so enamored with Xu Ran and was even willing to be a demure woman by his side, despite her ferocious beast identity. Now, she understood.

"I have a premonition that the future of the Auspicious Beast will reach heights that we cannot aspire to," said the Bear Lord, unable to hide his words. This armor was inspired by Xu Ran and was also proposed by him, coupled with the considerations of ferocious beasts like Di Tian, this battle armor was born.

Xu Ran's boundless imagination made them all amazed.

Xu Ran's talent, bloodline, wisdom, status, and the natural demeanor that inspired trust in others were all necessary conditions for success. And Xu Ran had them all.

How could such a Xu Ran not succeed?

All the heritage of the Aquipeia Forest was handed over to Xu Ran, along with the value and protection given by Gu Yuena, Xu Ran was destined to ascend to divinity. Then, the entire Divine Realm would face a storm of blood and carnage, and their Soul Beast Clan would also seize the opportunity to rise.

At this moment, all ferocious beasts kindled a deep hope within their hearts.

It was precisely because they valued Xu Ran's monstrous talent that they were willing to willingly damage their own "Cultivation Level," going all out to help Xu Ran grow stronger.

This might be the last chance for rebellion by the Soul Beast Clan.

If they missed this opportunity, the Soul Beast Clan would never have the chance to rise again.

For Gu Yuena to become the Dragon God, she needed to obtain the power of the suppressed Golden Dragon King in the Divine Realm, but that was too difficult. Even at her peak, Gu Yuena wouldn't dare to go to the Divine Realm. Even if the Dragon God returned, the scene where the Five Great Supreme Gods slew the Dragon God might still be played out.

But with Xu Ran ascending to divinity, plus Gu Yuena.

The Auspicious Beast God, Dragon God, the two great Beast Gods versus the Five Great Supreme Gods, might not be impossible.

Di Tian's black eyes turned to Xu Ran, glimmering with a sharp light.

He knew far more clearly than the Bear Lord and the others just how frightening Xu Ran's talent was.

The Silver Dragon King had once told him: Xu Ran possessed limitless potential, and if Xu Ran could unleash all his innate potential, he would one day surpass the Dragon God, reaching an even more terrifying level.

It was also because of Gu Yuena's words that he felt so reassured in giving Xu Ran all the powerful soul bones he had collected over thousands of years in the Aquipeia Forest.

With Xu Ran's talent, he was destined to become a God. As long as he ascended, he would be an apex deity.

...

At this moment, Xu Ran calmed his mind to sense every breath of his battle armor. The heart-protecting mirror embedded in the breastplate, which contained the blood essence of myriad beasts, was the core of the entire armor, providing it with energy.

But for now, it didn't hold the blood of myriad beasts. After Xu Ran went to the far northern lands, he would have to drip the blood essence of the powerful soul beasts from that place into it. Then he would proceed to the Deep Sea, to acquire the blood essence of powerful soul beasts there.

Only then could it truly be called the realm of myriad beasts.

In the Aquipeia Forest, the far northern lands, and the Deep Sea, these three major soul beast habitats encompass nearly all of the powerful soul beasts of the Soul Land continent. Other smaller soul beast gathering areas basically lack any noteworthy soul beasts.

Even the future, not only the blood essence of soul beasts but also that of strong humans and those from the Divine Residence could be sealed into the heart-protecting mirror to aid its growth.

Xu Ran slowly sank into contemplation, and from the "Godslayer Sword" in his hand resonated a series of sword cries.

At this moment, the myriad sword intents that Xu Ran had yet to fully comprehend seemed to break through their shells.

Slaughter, void, myriad, destruction, evil... Each of Xu Ran's Soul Rings represented a certain attribute, a type of Sword Intent, a Domain, an origin, a set of laws... But for now, Xu Ran had only grasped the stage of Sword Intent.

Thinking of these, Xu Ran focused his thoughts and followed the ethereal mood in his heart to swing the longsword in his hand.

Holding the longsword and clad in battle armor, Xu Ran swung the "Godslayer Sword" in the void, filled with indescribable and mysterious meanings. Even Di Tian and the others felt something eerie; each of Xu Ran's sword strikes seemed simple yet appeared to embody the most fundamental Dao of the heavens and earth.

"Could this be what the master spoke of?" Di Tian murmured, recalling Gu Yuena's words, his eyes shining with a brilliant divine light, while the others also looked at Xu Ran with curiosity.

Xu Ran kept swinging his sword, leaving faintly visible sword shadows all over the void, each shadow seeming to have a life of its own, slowly dissipating but at an extremely slow pace.

As Xu Ran swung his sword faster and more gracefully, the entire sky filled with sword shadows that contained Sword Intent.

"Myriad Sword Intent."

"The path of myriad beasts."

"Returning Swords to Ancestry."

Xu Ran murmured, a terrifying fierce aura bursting from his heart-protecting mirror, as he mobilized the breath of countless powerful soul beasts from the strongest of the Soul Beast Race.

In this moment, all beasts roared in unison.

The sword shadows in the sky seemed to come to life.

Di Tian and the others saw that each sword shadow seemed to seal a soul beast within. Every single soul beast's breath was terrifying.

In the very front, the most frightening sword shadow contained the figures of these ferocious beasts.

With a single slash from Xu Ran, as if commanding all beasts, the sword fell, and all the soul beasts madly, recklessly charged toward Di Tian's direction.

This strike, even a level 95 Titled Douluo might not be able to withstand.

With Xu Ran's strength, he was far from having such formidable combat power.

But the blood essence of ferocious beasts sealed within the heart-protecting mirror possessed immense energy, which Xu Ran mobilized all at once, unleashing incredibly terrifying lethality.

Everyone noticed that after that slash, the heart-protecting mirror on Xu Ran's chest visibly dimmed, obviously due to the excessive consumption of blood essence. After such consumption, it would take at least one to two months to recover, with the nurturing of heaven earth origin energy, before the heart-protecting mirror could become lively again.

However, this one strike was strong enough. With this attack, Xu Ran had reason to be proud.

Xu Ran had not yet reached the status of a Soul King, but this strike could defeat the vast majority of Titled Douluos.

"Dragon God Claw." A faint, low growl came from Di Tian's throat as he approached, his palm transformed into a black dragon claw, shattering all the soul beast sword shadows in front of him in an instant.

However, caught off guard, his body also trembled slightly, and his right foot involuntarily moved backwards, but under Di Tian's control, he forcefully pulled it back.

This sword, imbued with myriad beasts and the aura of the Auspicious Beast, had an extra lethality against these ferocious beasts.
