Chapter 546: The Impact of Sword Patterns

Translator: jinzeffect

“It is a pity that you cannot even withstand a single move.”

Bai Qiuming shook his head and turned around before there was a flash and he vanished without a trace.

Pfff!

Yuan Long sat up and immediately vomited a mouthful of fresh blood while having a miserably pale complexion.

Nearly all of his ribs at the pit of the stomach had been broken, or should it be that he broke them himself.

“Am I still not good enough?” Yuan Long muttered.

He knew how horrific Bai Qiuming was and this time, he believed he would be able to resist Bai Qiuming’s illusion art. He didn’t expect to lose in such an utterly clear-cut manner.

“Spiritual awareness attacks and illusion art attacks are able to cause a disruption in the balance of combat strength.” Li Fuchen lamented.

To be honest, if Bai Qiuming didn’t execute any illusion arts, it was questionable if his overall strength would reach the great master level. But once he utilized illusion arts, he would probably reach the monarch-class master level.

It was the same for Li Fuchen. If he didn’t execute any spiritual awareness attack, he would only be at the pinnacle master level. But once he utilized spiritual awareness attacks, his strength would reach the great master level.

It had the same principle.

“If Senior Bai Qiuming is already so powerful, I wonder how much more formidable would the 2-star generals and 3-star generals of the Red Moon Empire be?”

Bai Qiuming might be formidable, but he was only a 1-star general. In the future, he might become a 2-star general but that was in the future.

The Red Rainbow Sect had two generals now. Bai Qiuming was a 1-star general and was at the 7th level of Battle Spirit Realm. The other was the emperor-class disciple, Chu Wu, who was a 2-star general at the 9th level of Battle Spirit Realm.

In fact, all emperor-class disciples from monarch-class factions were able to become generals. After all, emperor-class disciples had 8-star bone frames and the 8-star bone frames were also the highest grade of bone frame on the Emperor Sky Continent.

As for 9-star bone frames, not many of the emperor-class factions had such talents.

Emperor-class factions merely had more 8-star bone frames.

Of course, not every monarch-class faction had 8-star bone frames too. In fact, most of the monarch-class factions didn’t have any 8-star bone frame disciples.

It was up to a faction’s luck if they could recruit any 8-star bone frame disciples.

Throughout the countless years of Red Rainbow Sect’s history, there were less than five 8-star bone frame disciples. During the past few centuries, there were only two and they were Chu Wu and Bai Qiuming.

...

Half a month later, Li Fuchen’s blazing flame bone frame pattern was finally at the sixth segment.

For now on, there were no more blazing flame bone frame patterns for him to comprehend.

Unless Li Fuchen’s blazing flame bone frame was upgraded to the 7-star grade.

However, herbs that could upgrade a 6-star bone frame into a 7-star bone frame would need to be at least heaven class mid-tier.

Heaven class mid-tier herbs were already very rare, heaven class mid-tier bone frame herbs were probably ten times or dozens of times rarer.

Without any great fated opportunities or great qi luck, it was impossible to find them.

At least not in the Battle Spirit Realm.

Now that the blazing flame bone frame pattern was comprehended to the sixth segment, Li Fuchen’s Heart of Blazing Flame had a great increase in power. Once he burst out with his divine ability, his chest would have a dense blazing flame pattern that was just like a blazing flame tattoo. Li Fuchen reckoned that the completed Heart of Blazing Flame would probably cover the entire body with blazing flame patterns.

For the Heart of Blazing Flame to reach that state, Li Fuchen would probably need the 9-star bone frame.

“Now that my blazing flame divine ability has reached its limit, I can put my efforts into the sword dao now.”

There was a huge difference when multitasking and when fully concentrated.

No matter how exceptional the perception was, it wasn’t that easy to reach the extremity by multitasking as compared to full concentration.

Li Fuchen planned to choose one of the earth class peak-tier sword arts and upgrade the sword intent to the heaven class low-tier.

Li Fuchen had a total of six earth class peak-tier sword arts. They were the Cloud Flame Thousand Incineration, Flowing Flame Sword Art, Sky Ring Sword Art, Impermanence Sword Art, Grand Wind Sword Art, and Meteor Sword Art.

Among them, the Cloud Flame Thousand Incineration, Flowing Flame Sword Art, and Meteor Sword Art were fire dao sword art.

The Sky Ring Sword Art and the Impermanence Sword Art were neutral dao sword arts.

The Grand Wind Sword Art was a wind dao sword art.

There wasn’t a need to consider the neutral dao and wind dao sword arts. Li Fuchen was focusing on the three fire dao sword arts.

After all, he had already comprehended the blazing flame bone frame pattern to the sixth segment and he was rather proficient in the fire dao laws. It would make it much easier for him to upgrade a fire dao sword art.

After consideration, Li Fuchen chose the Flowing Flame Sword Art.

The Cloud Flame Thousand Incineration was too extreme and it was too difficult to upgrade the sword intent.

The Meteor Sword Art was even more extreme than the Cloud Flame Thousand Incineration, making it even harder to upgrade.

Only the Flowing Flame Sword Art was a little more balanced.

However, before trying to upgrade the Flowing Flame Sword Art, Li Fuchen had to comprehend the Joint-Heaven Sword patterns.

Li Fuchen had already fully comprehended the Joint-Heaven Sword’s first layer of sword patterns.

For the second layer of sword patterns, Li Fuchen had already comprehended it above the 90% mark and was roughly at the 93% mark.

It was similar to the sword patterns on the first layer of seal. At the later stages, the difficulty of the sword pattern comprehension would have a drastic increase. The difficulty was several times more difficult than the bone frame patterns.

Of course, once Li Fuchen comprehended all the sword patterns on the second layer of seal, he would be able to unlock the Joint-Heaven Sword’s second layer of seal and might obtain a heaven class low-tier sword art.

However, that was still rather far away.

Without another two or three years, Li Fuchen didn’t believe he would be able to unlock the second layer of seal on the Joint-Heaven Sword. Once he was able to unlock the second layer of seal, he would actually become a heaven class low-tier Sword Pattern Master and would be able to brand heaven class low-tier sword patterns on swords.

Li Fuchen had two points of consideration for wanting to comprehend the Joint-Heaven Sword patterns.

Firstly, he wanted to unlock the Joint-Heaven Sword’s second layer of seal as quickly as possible.

Secondly, it was to upgrade the Flowing Flame Sword Intent.

The Flowing Flame Sword Art was a fire dao sword art, it contained the fire dao laws and also the sword dao laws. He was already rather proficient in fire dao laws, but he definitely had to improve his sword dao laws. The Joint-Heaven Sword patterns contained extreme sword dao laws and after being proficient in the two laws of dao, there was a high chance of success for him to upgrade the sword intent.

After putting his full concentration on the Joint-Heaven Sword patterns, Li Fuchen realized that he had neglected the Joint-Heaven Sword patterns for the past months. If he had devoted his time to comprehending the sword patterns, he might have already unlocked the second layer of seal on the Joint-Heaven Sword.

However, it was hard to achieve success in everything. If he was fully devoted in the comprehension of sword patterns, then he wouldn’t have broken through to the Battle Spirit Realm now. Therefore, there was nothing to regret.

The Joint-Heaven Sword patterns was awe-inspiring like the heaven dao. Each time he was comprehending the Joint Heaven Sword patterns, Li Fuchen would sigh at how tiny he was.

The sword patterns in his eyes were like the heaven dao’s meridians. He might know the origin of the sword dao but he didn’t understand how it originated.

“The sword patterns are now 95% comprehended.”

Two months later...

Li Fuchen was now at the Purple Mist Mountain for half a year.

On this day, Li Fuchen’s body emitted an overwhelming sword dao presence.

After comprehending the Joint Heaven Sword patterns to 95%, Li Fuchen felt that the heaven and earth had changed in his eyes.

Everything was about the meridians.

These meridians were like the trajectory of the sword arts and if he slashed along with these meridians, he would be able to exhibit terrifying power.

It was the same as branding sword patterns on the swords to increase the power of the swords.

“Sword Pattern Masters aren’t as simple as I imagined!”

In the past, Li Fuchen always assumed that Sword Pattern Masters were only meant for supporting. Now, he no longer felt the same.”

Once the sword pattern proficiency reached a certain level, it was obviously able to increase a swordsman’s strength.

Li Fuchen picked up a withered branch on the ground. A winding sword pattern extended onto the withered branch. In the blink of the eye, the withered tree branch was emitting an extremely horrific sword dao presence. A seemingly simple thrust had also thrust through the void.

‘It is about time for me to upgrade the Flowing Flame Sword Intent.’ When the withered tree branch crumbled, Li Fuchen thought in his heart.

There will be one more chapter this evening!
