Chapter 69: Taming the Seven Star Sword

Unable to get close, how could she seal the Seven Star Sword? The three altars intended to activate the gems and seal the sword were destroyed by Li Yuan's powerful Conqueror's Haki combined with the sword's intent.

Now, her only option was to approach the Seven Star Sword and use sorcery to seal it.

But she could only watch helplessly as the sword lay before her, unreachable.

For a quarter of an hour, Adina struggled in vain, unable to inch closer to Li Yuan.

During this time, Li Yuan finally comprehended the sword's intent and successfully tamed the Seven Star Sword.

Li Yuan reined in his Conqueror's Haki and sword intent, and the sword's eerie green glow faded.

"Seven Star Sword, from now on, you are my sword. I will become the world's greatest swordsman, and you will be the greatest sword, with all other swords, including the supreme Great Blades, bowing before you!"

In response to Li Yuan's declaration, the Seven Star Sword trembled as if resonating with his ambition.

"You, you..."

Adina looked at the Seven Star Sword in Li Yuan's hand, then at him. There was no trace of the curse, yet he seemed to embody the sword itself.

This feeling left her speechless and unable to express herself.

"The Seven Star Sword is now mine. You cannot seal it unless you can defeat or kill me," Li Yuan said with a smile.

"Impossible, the Seven Star Sword cannot be tamed!" Adina shook her head, firm in her belief that the sword's power was insurmountable and could not be subdued.

"You think it's impossible because your perspective is limited. You believe the Seven Star Sword will bring disaster and death to countless people."

"But you don't realize that there are swords and people far stronger than the Seven Star Sword. With just a thought, they could cause the deaths of thousands, creating disasters far worse than the sword could!"

"So, if you encountered such beings, would you also try to seal them?"

Perhaps due to acquiring the Seven Star Sword, Li Yuan was in an exceptionally good mood and had more patience for the beautiful sorceress.

"Hand over the gems you carry," he said.

After taming the Seven Star Sword, Li Yuan sensed its fear of the gems Adina carried.

Perhaps due to the shadow of being sealed by them, the sword both feared and craved the gems.

So, Li Yuan took the gems from Adina.

"Those gems seal the Seven Star Sword, give them back!"

Seeing her gems taken, Adina anxiously tried to retrieve them.

"Crack!!!"

However, the gems shattered in Li Yuan's hand.

"No!!!!"

Watching the sealing gems break left Adina despairing. Her hope of sealing the Seven Star Sword was shattered right before her eyes!

"Buzz!!!"

In contrast to Adina's despair, the Seven Star Sword was exhilarated.

At the moment the gems shattered, they released a rich, pure aura of blood and slaughter, all of which the sword absorbed.

Li Yuan sensed the Seven Star Sword growing stronger.

The sword had originally become a demon sword due to absorbing blood and slaughter.

This meant it could grow stronger by absorbing more of these elements.

As the sword's power grew, so did its intent, enhancing Li Yuan's mastery over it.

However, influenced by the Seven Star Sword, Li Yuan's emotions turned violent.

Seeing the pitiful sorceress Adina, he forcefully and dominantly embraced her.

He needed to vent his violent emotions, and the sorceress was the perfect outlet.

"No!!!!"

With a scream, an intense battle unfolded.

In her first experience of such a war, Adina could only endure amidst cries of distress.

When the battle ended, both Li Yuan and Adina fell into a deep sleep.

Six hours later, Li Yuan awoke, feeling better than ever!

With Life Return at his disposal, he could sense his body was significantly stronger, by at least twenty percent.

However, this wasn't due to his own physical power but rather a strange surge of vitality that had entered his body, enhancing it.

"Hmm? Where is the Seven Star Sword?"

As he got up and instinctively reached for his waist, he realized a sword was missing.

"Is this... the Seven Star Sword?"

Looking around for the sword, he found a tattoo on his chest, the pattern matching the Seven Star Sword.

"Could it be that the Seven Star Sword merged with my body, enhancing my physique?"

Li Yuan speculated.

In the original story, the sword slave Saga, controlled by the Seven Star Sword, experienced significant physical enhancement when the sword merged with his body.

As the sword's master, the Seven Star Sword offered Li Yuan even greater enhancement, which seemed plausible.

Li Yuan felt he could summon the sword from within with just a thought.

"Seven Star Sword!"

With a mental command, the sword appeared in his right hand, its mysterious pattern glowing an eerie green, seemingly stronger than before.

"Though I don't know how powerful the supreme Great Blades are, at least my Seven Star Sword is much stronger than Shiki's Great Grade Swords."

"And the sword's inherent intent, which I've comprehended, makes me a great swordsman with two sword intents!"

Li Yuan admired the Seven Star Sword in his hand.

"What is this?"

When Li Yuan immersed his mind into the sword, he discovered seven star-like blood grooves within.

Of the seven, only one was filled with blood, while the other six were empty.

"This is the real reason it's called the Seven Star Sword?"

"The seven blood grooves represent its power. With one filled, it represents one-seventh of its strength."

"This means the Seven Star Sword can continually grow stronger by absorbing blood."

"No wonder the sword enslaved people to perform blood sacrifices, to absorb more blood and strengthen itself—a natural instinct for evolution."

"The Seven Star Demon Sword truly lives up to its name, having such a unique path to power!"

Fully understanding the Seven Star Sword, Li Yuan realized just how powerful this demon sword truly was.
