Chapter 1674: Practicing Saint Origin Sword Art

Max did not immediately use the enormous amount of resources he had just obtained to raise his cultivation to the tenth level of the Law Awakening Realm.

Neither did he rush to unlock the fourth Divine Vein, the Vein of Speed.

Although both breakthroughs were extremely tempting, Max still forcibly restrained himself.

Because at this moment, there was something he considered even more important.

The Saint Origin Sword Art.

After entering the Dimension of Time, Max devoted all of his focus entirely toward comprehending and practicing the sword art left behind by the Sword Saint.

The more he practiced it, the more Max realized how terrifying and profound this sword art truly was.

Every movement.

Every slash.

Every fluctuation of sword intent hidden within the technique seemed to contain layers upon layers of deeper mysteries.

At first glance, the Saint Origin Sword Art appeared straightforward and overbearing, yet the more Max tried to master it, the more he felt as though he had merely touched the surface of an endless ocean.

This realization only made Max even more serious.

After all, this was not some ordinary sword technique.

It was the personal sword art created by the Sword Saint himself.

A legendary existence whose name alone was enough to shake countless worlds.

Because of that, Max became completely immersed within the Saint Origin Sword Art.

Inside the endless flow of time within the Dimension of Time, Max continuously practiced the sword art again and again without pause.

At times, he practiced ordinary slashes.

At other times, he attempted to fuse the Emotion Severing Cosmic Path into the sword art once more.

Slowly, Max began noticing things he had previously overlooked.

The Saint Origin Sword Art was not simply about destructive power.

It carried a strange sense of purity and sharpness capable of severing everything in existence.

The deeper Max comprehended it, the more terrifying the sword art gradually became.

Because of this, Max spent the entire night after the Smelting Trial completely immersed within the Dimension of Time practicing continuously.

He ignored rest entirely.

He ignored cultivation advancement.

Even the temptation of unlocking the Vein of Speed was temporarily pushed aside.

Nothing mattered more to him right now than fully understanding the Saint Origin Sword Art.

It was not until the following morning that Max finally left the Dimension of Time.

And even then, it was not because he wanted to stop practicing.

In truth, Max still wished to continue comprehending the sword art further.

However, someone had arrived outside his room earlier and informed him that Jonathan wished to speak with him again.

Because of that, Max had no choice but to temporarily leave the Dimension of Time and leave the mansion as well.

Not long afterward, Max arrived at the same pavilion where Jonathan had brought him the previous day.

The quiet spirit lake still reflected the soft morning light while the surrounding breeze carried a calm and peaceful atmosphere.

However, the moment Max stepped into the pavilion, he immediately noticed something completely different about Jonathan and Julie.

Yesterday, both of them had been surrounded by gloom, tension, and helplessness.

But today—

Those emotions were completely gone.

Bright smiles could clearly be seen on both of their faces while even the atmosphere around them felt noticeably lighter than before.

Especially Julie.

The previous instability hidden within her aura had vanished almost entirely. Instead, faint crimson poison flames occasionally flickered subtly around her body before disappearing once again under her complete control.

Seeing this scene, Max instantly understood the outcome.

They had chosen to trust him.

A faint smile slowly appeared across Max’s face afterward.

"It seems the two of you are in quite a good mood today," Max said calmly as he walked into the pavilion.

The moment Jonathan saw him, the usually composed young man immediately stood up. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Then, to Max’s surprise, Jonathan directly looked at him with an expression filled with genuine gratitude.

"It worked," Jonathan said while smiling brightly. "The Chaos Fruit truly worked!"

Even now, traces of disbelief could still be seen within his eyes as though he still found the entire situation unreal.

Julie also looked toward Max with gratitude visible within her gaze.

Jonathan quickly continued speaking afterward.

"After Julie consumed the Chaos Fruit last night, the poison inside her body immediately began reacting violently with the flame energy contained within the fruit."

"At first, we thought something had gone wrong because the poison fluctuations became extremely unstable."

Jonathan let out a breath before continuing.

"But then her Ten Thousand Poison Body suddenly began mutating."

The excitement within his voice became increasingly obvious.

"The poison physique and the flame energy from the Chaos Fruit fused together completely and eventually created an entirely new Divine Body."

Jonathan’s eyes brightened noticeably afterward.

"The Ten Thousand Poison Flame Body."

The moment those words were spoken, even the surrounding energy inside the pavilion seemed to fluctuate faintly.

Meanwhile, Julie slowly raised her hand.

In the next instant, crimson poisonous flames silently appeared above her palm.

The flames looked extremely dangerous, yet they remained completely stable beneath her control.

Not even the slightest trace of poison leaked outward anymore.

Seeing this, Jonathan’s expression became even more emotional.

"You have no idea how unbelievable this is," he said while looking toward Max. "Before this, Julie constantly needed treasures to suppress the poison inside her body. Even then, controlling the poison was incredibly difficult."

"But now..."

Jonathan looked toward Julie again before smiling.

"She can control the poison as naturally as controlling her own energy."

"The poison no longer harms her body anymore. Instead, it has completely fused with her new Divine Body."

At that moment, even Julie herself looked slightly emotional.

For the first time in many years, she no longer needed to fear the poison inside her own body and just like Max had said yesterday, it had now become her strongest weapon.

"Good." Max was truly happy for them. He then asked about his deal. "What about my two conditions?"
