Transmigrating Into a Fantasy World: Signing in During Pregnancy, Reaching the Summit with My Childhood Sweetheart

154: Chapter 154: Sword Fiend Refining the Heart and Returning to the Void - Initial DevouringFacing the tide of Sword Evil swarming from all directions, enough to instantly throw ordinary Nascent Soul Cultivators into a panic, Nangong Xuan stood his ground, his eyes as calm as a deep pool in an ancient well.

He chose neither large-scale Spell bombardments nor exquisite movement techniques for evasion. At the very moment those countless sword beams of varying colors and distinct attributes were about to strike—

Buzz!

An invisible Domain, which seemed capable of ending all things and bringing silence to everything, suddenly expanded with him as the center!

Nirvana Nirvana Sword Domain!

Dark gold dao patterns flowed rapidly over his body, rippling out like physical waves. Within the Domain, light distorted, sound was annihilated, and even the thick Evil Mist seemed to have its pause button pressed, becoming sluggish and frozen.

As those shooting sword beams entered the range of the Sword Domain, their speed plummeted as if they had fallen into a boundless, viscous swamp! The spiritual light flickering on their surfaces dimmed at a visible rate, and the violent Sword Intent and negative emotions contained within were rapidly dismantled and purified by that pure, lofty Nirvana Concept, like snow exposed to a scorching sun!

However, these Sword Evil were formed from the Evil Qi and Lingering Thoughts accumulated over endless years in Jijian Valley; they possessed no true consciousness of fear, only the instinct to devour life and destroy intruders. Even though weakened by the Sword Domain, they continued to charge forward, undaunted by death.

”Disperse.”

Nangong Xuan uttered a single, cold word.

Pressing his fingers together like a sword, without any visible movement, several fine yet extremely condensed dark gold Sword Threads erupted from his fingertips. Like living fish, they shuttled and performed Cutting within the Sword Domain at a speed beyond visual capture!

Chi chi chi chi—!

Those sword beams at the very front—whether they were of the blazing fire attribute, the frigid water attribute, the heavy earth attribute, or the treacherous poison attribute—the moment they were touched by the dark gold Sword Threads, they collapsed like bubbles with their Cores punctured. They instantly disintegrated, reverting into the purest Evil Qi and a sliver of ownerless Sword Intent Fragments!

But the quantity of Sword Evil was simply too great, coming one after another in an endless stream. They constantly regenerated from the thick mist, as if the power of the entire valley was working against him.

”Father, these Sword Evil are inexhaustible!” Lin Mo’s thought came urgently. The chaos star core rotated slowly above Nangong Xuan’s head, emitting Chaos light to help him resist part of the mental impact. ”Their Core is the Evil Qi and Lingering Thoughts accumulated in the valley. As long as the Evil Qi is not exhausted, they can keep regenerating! We must find the source or use power far exceeding their recovery speed to clear an area instantly!”

Nangong Xuan naturally noticed this as well. Although his Nirvana Sword Intent could effectively suppress or even annihilate these Sword Evil, if the consumption continued like this, even with his nirvana golden core cultivation, it would be difficult to sustain. This Jijian Valley was indeed a place of extreme danger.

Just as he was pondering a way to break the situation, an unexpected change occurred!

Perhaps sensing the ”ending” and ”devouring” characteristics of the Nirvana Sword Intent, or perhaps stimulated by the energy dissipated after the collapse of a large number of Sword Evil, the ”gui xu base point” that had been quietly floating inside his Dantian—the pitch-black vortex obtained from the Tian Yuan City chaos star core and integrated into his Nirvana Dao Origin—actually rotated slightly on its own!

A weak yet incredibly profound suction force spread out from within Nangong Xuan’s Dantian.

This suction was not targeted at physical objects but precisely locked onto the pure Evil Qi and ownerless Sword Intent Fragments that had been defeated by the Nirvana Sword Intent and were about to merge back into the Evil Mist!

Xiu xiu xiu—!

Like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, those dissipated energies that should have returned to the valley’s cycle were forcibly pulled by this suction. They passed through Nangong Xuan’s body and were sucked into his Dantian without a drop left, vanishing into the slowly rotating gui xu base point!

The gui xu base point refused nothing. Like a bottomless abyss, it devoured, crushed, and converted all of this energy, which for other Cultivators would be considered lethal poison!

A strand of incredibly pure yet cold and deathly energy fed back from the gui xu base point, merging into Nangong Xuan’s nirvana golden core. The dark gold dao patterns on the Golden Core brightened slightly, seemingly growing a bit! The minor consumption from the continuous battles was instantly replenished, even exceeding what was lost!

A terrifying sharp light suddenly burst from Nangong Xuan’s eyes!

He had found the key to breaking the situation! Moreover, he had found the supreme method for the Cultivate of Nirvana Sword Dao in this Jijian Valley!

The Sword Evil, Evil Qi, and residual Sword Intent spread throughout the valley were deadly poison to others, but to him, they were great nourishment! The gui xu base point could actually devour and convert all of this to supplement himself!

”Hahaha! Excellent!” Nangong Xuan laughed heartily, a surge of heroic spirit rising in his heart.

Instead of restraining the Sword Domain, he actively expanded it! At the same time, he completely released his suppression of the gui xu base point!

Buzz—!!!

An even stronger devouring force erupted! With him as the center, an invisible energy vortex seemed to appear!

This time, it was no longer limited to the residual energy of defeated Sword Evil. Once the Sword Evil entities themselves, which were frantically charging at the Sword Domain, came within three zhang of him, the Evil Qi and Sword Intent that formed their bodies began to become unstable. Strands of energy were forcibly stripped away, uncontrollably plunging into Nangong Xuan’s Dantian to be greedily devoured by the gui xu base point!

The faster the Sword Evil charged and the greater their numbers, the faster they were devoured and stripped!

From a distance, Nangong Xuan seemed to have transformed into a walking black hole. Wherever he went, the colorful, fierce, and violent tide of Sword Evil crashed into an invisible wall, collapsing and disintegrating into a torrent of pure energy to be devoured and absorbed by him!

His aura did not diminish due to the battle; instead, it rose steadily at a terrifying speed! The nirvana golden core inside his body rotated frantically, becoming more solid. The dark gold dao patterns became increasingly complex and profound, and the Sword Intent it emitted grew more sharp and overbearing!

This was simply a one-sided slaughter and feast!

Lin Mo watched in stunned silence, then rejoiced: ”Father! The gui xu base point actually has such a wonderful use! Fantastic! Eat up all these small fry!”

Nangong Xuan did not stop his pace, actively walking toward the direction where the Sword Evil were most dense. He was invincible; within the range of the Sword Domain, ten thousand swords fell silent, and he alone reigned supreme!

More and more Sword Evil were disturbed, emerging from the depths of the valley, from the rock walls, and from the ground, throwing themselves forward one after another, only to be constantly devoured like moths to a flame.

As massive amounts of pure Evil Qi and Sword Intent Fragments were converted and absorbed by the gui xu base point, Nangong Xuan’s comprehension of the Nirvana Sword Dao also improved rapidly. Countless Broken Sword dao techniques and Concept fragments, though disorganized, were refined and integrated into his own system under the command of his high-level Nirvana Sword Intent.

His sword finger movements became increasingly simple and sharp, often pointing out the weakest point of a Sword Evil with ease and high efficiency. His resistance to various attributes of Sword Intent was also rapidly strengthening.

Just as he was devouring to his heart’s content and was about to sweep through the Sword Evil in this area—

Buzz!

A highly condensed, Deep Purple Sword Evil, emitting a sky-high aura of resentment and destruction, like a long-lurking venomous snake, silently penetrated layers of Sword Domain obstacles (though its power was significantly weakened) and stabbed straight toward Nangong Xuan’s back!

The power contained in this Sword Evil far exceeded all previous ones, almost comparable to the full-strength blow of a Late Golden Core Stage Cultivator! More terrifyingly, the resentful thought contained within was extremely condensed, even capable of resisting the disintegration of the Nirvana Concept to some extent, striking directly at the Divine Soul!

Nangong Xuan frowned slightly, about to turn around to deal with it.

”Father, let me!” Lin Mo’s thought rang out abruptly.

The chaos star core, which had been floating at his side, suddenly accelerated its rotation. The base point representing ”Gui Xu” on the star Core’s surface shone brightly, generating a powerful suction force targeting the Divine Soul level, precisely aiming at the resentful thought in the Core of that Deep Purple Sword Evil!

”Roar—!”

An unwilling roar actually erupted from that Deep Purple Sword Evil. The resentful thought within it, as if meeting its nemesis, was forcibly stripped from the Sword Evil energy and sucked into the star Core’s gui xu base point with a whoosh!

Having lost the drive of its Core thought, that Deep Purple Sword Evil of decent power instantly weakened significantly and was annihilated by a casual sword finger from Nangong Xuan.

”Burp...” A thought wave similar to a burp came from Lin Mo inside the star Core, carrying a hint of satisfaction and a bit of distaste. ”This guy’s resentment is really strong... but it’s great nourishment! The star Core’s analytical ability has strengthened a little bit more.”

With the father and son cooperating—one devouring energy and the other specializing in countering Lingering Thoughts—their efficiency soared once again!

Sweeping through like this and devouring an unknown number of Sword Evil, Nangong Xuan felt the rotation speed of the gui xu base point in his Dantian seemingly increase slightly, and the Nirvana energy it fed back became increasingly pure and majestic.

The surrounding Evil Mist seemed to have thinned quite a bit because of this, and the frequency of the Sword Evil’s appearance also began to drop.

Finally, after the last wave of over a hundred Sword Evil was completely devoured by Nangong Xuan, this area temporarily returned to silence. Only some newly added weapon fragments and withered bones on the ground proved the frantic battle that had just occurred.

Nangong Xuan stood with his hands behind his back, eyes closed in internal inspection. The nirvana golden core in his body was even more brilliant; his cultivation had made significant progress in a short time, seemingly only one step away from the Peak Late Golden Core Stage! His Sword Intent was more condensed, carrying a flavor of all laws being silent and all evils being unable to invade.

He slowly opened his eyes, his gaze like lightning as he scanned ahead. The Evil Mist had thinned slightly, and visibility had increased somewhat.

Not far ahead, a fork in the road appeared. One path continued toward the deeper main valley, where the Evil Qi was even denser, faintly transmitting a heart-palpitating sense of pressure.

At the end of another slightly narrower fork, a strange Sword Tomb dozens of zhang high, piled with countless Broken Swords, was vaguely visible! Atop the Sword Tomb stood a rusty Ancient Sword that still emitted a desolate Sword Intent that could not be ignored.

That pure, sharp Sword Intent flashed and vanished once again.

This time, its source seemed not to be from the depths of the main valley, but... from that Broken Sword Sword Tomb!
