Chapter 12 - Sword Intent

Song Yang, who was still a little dazed after what he had seen, couldn't help but regain his composure and think to himself: "Learning, of course, who would be foolish to refuse such a thing."

He was surprised that he could understand the Sacred Domain even without being a saint. After all, it is common knowledge that only saints can master the Sacred Domain. Not even those monstrous geniuses recorded in the Zhenfang Dynasty had managed to achieve such a feat in the royal realm.

And now, to achieve this with only a small Divine Transformation realm would be enough to enter the history books as an incomparable genius.

In the next moment, a flood of information appeared in Song Yang's mind. After absorbing and understanding most of it, he felt as if he could summon the elements with just one thought.

And this feeling was certainly no illusion for Song Yang; this is the power of the Sacred Realm, something that only saints can possess.

As soon as he had finally finished understanding, Song Yang thought lightly, and a crystal-clear halo like water appeared around him.

"So strong," Song Yang thought. The moment he summoned this halo, he felt as if he were a deity inside that space.

"I'm afraid that even if I were to meet Elder Ling right now, I would have the power to fight," Song Yang imagined.

How terrible is that? Song Yang is only at the apex of Divine Transformation, while Elder Ling was a powerful cultivator at the peak of the Royal Realm.

Another detail you need to remember is that Song Yang doesn't have any combat skills yet, and yet his combat power is already at the same level as Elder Ling.

If he practiced a few types of skills, wouldn't he be invincible in the Royal Kingdom, even if he was in a previous realm?

After adapting to the crystal blue halo, Song Yang smiled to himself. "And that's not my limit."

As soon as he said this, four more halos appeared around him: one halo was yellow in color, another was as transparent as the wind, one was as golden as gold, and the last was as dark as the earth.

Seeing the five halos around him, Song Yang felt more powerful than before, but he still smiled and muttered: "But that's not my limit yet."

The next second, he exhaled softly: "Fusion."

Then a miraculous scene took place: the five halos of different colors began to merge and turned into a five-colored halo.

Sacred Domain of the Five Elements!

"Haha, I'm afraid I can kill Elder Ling instantly with my current strength," laughed Song Yang ecstatically after observing his current state, and then pondered: "But I still don't know if it's enough to deal with a true saint."

"System, open four rare-level mystery boxes," said Song Yang, turning his attention to the remaining almost 50,000 reputation points.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully opening the mystery box and obtaining the basic rare reward, Yang's Vitality Pill].

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully opening the mystery box and obtaining the superior rare reward, Sea Destroyer Fist].

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully opening the mystery box and obtaining the top rare reward, First Layer of Sword Intent].

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully opening the mysterious box and obtaining an advanced rare level reward, Boundless Pill].

Seeing this, without hesitation, Song Yang said in his heart: "System, show the descriptions of each one."

[Yang Vitality Pill: A superior Earth grade healing pill]

[Sea Destroying Fist: An extremely overpowering fist technique that cultivated to the maximum has the power to open the oceans, medium Celestial rank]

[First Layer of Sword Intent: Can instantly grasp the first layer of sword intent]

[Boundless Pill: A perfectly refined celestial grade pill that can increase the chance of breaking through to the royal realm by 50%]

Looking at the rewards, it goes without saying that the best reward, in Song Yang's opinion, was clearly the First Layer of Sword Intent.

Seeing the celestial-level fist technique, Song Yang couldn't help but sigh: "If it were a sword technique, it would be so good."

After all, the combat power of a sword technique that incorporated a sword intent was completely different!

"As for these two pills, they're not useful for now, but let's keep them for now," thought Song Yang.

Just a few moments ago, he would have been happy to receive the Boundless Pill, which would be useful for advancing to the royal realm. However, since absorbing the Sacred Realm of the Five Elements, he felt that his cultivation no longer had any bottlenecks. Not to mention the royal level, as long as he refines enough energy, it's not impossible to advance directly to the saint level.

After storing the two pills in his spatial ring, he spoke in his heart: "System, absorb the fist technique and the sword intent."

As soon as he had finished speaking, another flood of information appeared in his mind and he felt that he had practiced fists and swords countless times in his mind.

Then he felt a sensation and entered a mysterious state where Song Yang seemed to have turned into a sword.

After remaining in this state for a while, Song Yang finally opened his eyes, and a sharp light burst from them. If a mortal were present, just the act of looking into his eyes at that moment would probably have left him blind.

"That's the sword's intention? Good," thought Song Yang. "Even without a sword technique, I can feel that my combat power has practically doubled."

"As for this Sea Destroying Fist, unfortunately the system only helped me to reach the initial stage," thought Song Yang.

"But I'm sure that if I achieve perfection in this technique, the power of the fist should really be enough to destroy the seas." After checking the two techniques, Song Yang spoke in his heart: "System, show my personal panel now."
