Su Han had faced sixteen gods and demons before, but this was the first time he had encountered one that actively allowed itself to be refined by him. He was unclear about what the Tai Cang Sword God was really thinking. It might have been because they were both from the Human Race, or perhaps because Tai Cang wanted to look after the Myriad Swords Sect. Maybe he had other intentions. Regardless, this outcome could be considered a stroke of luck. Had the Tai Cang Sword God truly intended to slay Su Han, Su Han likely would not have been able to withstand that single sword strike.

At this moment, he was inheriting the memories of the Tai Cang Sword God. According to these memories, Su Han learned that he was born into an ordinary family and was only taken in by the Myriad Swords Sect because of his Great Sun Sword Body. After that, he grew stronger and stronger only through relentless struggle. In the end, he reached the peak of Martial Arts, achieved Ascension, and left the Desolate Heavenly Ancient Realm.

The Tai Cang Sword God’s life was full of hardship, both on the path of Martial Arts and in his personal life; even the woman he loved most died because of him. It was precisely because of this that he forged an unbreakable will and devoted himself wholeheartedly to the path of the sword. In terms of insight into swordsmanship, it was probable that no one within the entire Desolate Heavenly Ancient Realm could compare to him. Even after ascending to godhood, he remained an undisputed leader among the many sword gods.

After learning about the Tai Cang Sword God’s life, Su Han focused on studying his swordsmanship and his understanding of the sword path. *One Sword Breaks Myriad Spells* was the sword technique the Tai Cang Sword God was most proud of, one he created through his own enlightenment. With one sword in hand, all techniques could be shattered! It was somewhat similar to the Heaven and Earth Slash that Su Han had practiced before, but it was far stronger and more ingenious.

The cultivation of *One Sword Breaks Myriad Spells* was also quite special. First, one had to cultivate Sword Qi by constantly compressing Sword Intent and Spiritual Energy to their absolute limit. The Sword Qi cultivated this way would be supremely condensed, like a blade of hundred-refined steel. Previously, Su Han’s Thunder Dragon Saber Aura had been cleaved apart by Tai Cang’s Sword Qi in this very manner.

Condensing Sword Qi was only the foundation of cultivating *One Sword Breaks Myriad Spells*. Once a single strand of Sword Qi was cultivated, one had to continue cultivating more: a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand—the more, the better. When unleashed, tens of thousands of supremely condensed strands of Sword Qi would annihilate everything in their path. This was extremely powerful, yet the cultivation was only halfway complete. The true essence of *One Sword Breaks Myriad Spells* lay in the word "one." The thousands of strands of Sword Qi needed to be condensed in pairs, compressed again and again, until all the Sword Qi was fused into a single strand. This was the true *One Sword Breaks Myriad Spells*. When that one sword was swung, it had the power to tear open the heavens and earth themselves, unstoppable by anyone.

The *One Sword Breaks Myriad Spells* that the Tai Cang Sword God cultivated was formed by condensing ten thousand strands of Sword Qi. With a single slash, not even the fabric of space and time could block it. It was said that if *One Sword Breaks Myriad Spells* was cultivated to perfection, it would merge with the path of the sword to become one’s own unique Supreme Sword Path. Of course, this remained theoretical; even the Tai Cang Sword God himself had never reached such a level.

Although I’ve always used a saber, my Sword Technique isn’t that refined. Focusing on swordsmanship now won’t affect me much. Besides, the saber and the sword are similar. Wielding the Black Blade with swordsmanship might just be feasible.

Su Han was weighing his options. The Black Blade was a weapon that suited him well. Furthermore, with the Great Majestic Demon King inside it, it could aid his demonization. If all eight layers of the seal were broken, it would be of immense help to him, so he had no intention of switching weapons. In the end, he decided to first cultivate Sword Qi and then integrate both saber and sword styles to find a path more suitable for himself.

With that thought, Su Han no longer hesitated and began to settle his mind to cultivate *One Sword Breaks Myriad Spells*.

Although both the sword and the saber are lethal weapons primarily used for killing, the saber is characterized by its overwhelming momentum and fierce power, while the sword is known for its lightness and elegance. Su Han had always been accustomed to the powerful momentum of Sword Technique, so suddenly practicing swordsmanship felt somewhat uncomfortable. However, having received the Tai Cang Sword God’s memory inheritance, he quickly grew proficient. He used the Sword Intent contained within his Great Sun Sword Body to begin condensing Sword Qi.

After a long time, a strand of Sword Qi as thin as a hair emerged from Su Han’s hand. This strand of Sword Qi, although far from matching a casual swing from the Tai Cang Sword God, was capable of splitting space and influencing time.

Once more!

Su Han continued to practice. Gradually, the strand of Sword Qi grew thicker, eventually reaching the size of a chopstick.

SWISH!

With one slash, space was cut as easily as paper, revealing a pitch-black and profound spatial rift. The power of this slash was already approaching that of his Thunderbolt Seven Absolute Slashes. If he continued to condense it, surpassing that technique would not be a problem. However, this strand of Sword Qi could only be considered a half-finished product. According to the Tai Cang Sword God’s memories, each strand had to be condensed to a size of one kilometer before compression began. His own ultimate limit had been compressing it down to a final size of one meter.

The task was arduous and the path was long, so Su Han did not rush. After he finished refining the memory inheritance of the Tai Cang Sword God, Su Han exited the Prison Divine Palace. As for the Myriad Swords Sect that the Tai Cang Sword God had mentioned, Su Han decided to inquire about it when he went to Zhongzhou in the future. He had made a promise to the Tai Cang Sword God and would not go back on his word.

BOOM!

Not long after Su Han had left the Prison Divine Palace, he sensed a disturbance within the Bronze Ring. He immediately reached in and took out the Black Blade. The blade was searing hot, like a branding iron. Thick Demonic Qi billowed from it like a volcanic eruption.

Soon, eight layers of seals emerged upon the blade, each condensed from mysterious and complex Divine Patterns that were far beyond Su Han’s comprehension. However, the other seven layers remained dim and indistinct. Only the outermost layer of the seal was trembling violently, as if it could no longer hold and was about to be broken.

"Open for me!" the familiar voice of the Great Majestic Demon King roared from within the Black Blade, like a roar from Hell opening the gates of death.

More and more Demonic Qi erupted, clashing fiercely with the first layer of the seal. It was a battle of life and death, with neither side relenting. After a full day and night, the first layer of the seal finally gave way. It was shattered into pieces by the violent Demonic Qi and eventually dissipated completely.

BOOM!

As the first layer of the seal was breached, ferocious Demonic Qi flooded the entire room, blasting everything inside to dust. The Black Blade’s appearance had changed; it had become more slender and was no longer as wide and thick as before. Most importantly, a Demonic Pattern appeared on the hilt. Su Han couldn’t understand the pattern, but he could sense a trace of the power of time within it.

Only a weapon imbued with the power of time could be called a Holy Artifact. Now that the Black Blade had broken through the first layer of its seal, it had been promoted from a Supreme Grade Dao Artifact to a Low Grade Holy Artifact, its power greatly increased. Holding the Black Blade, Su Han could feel its immense strength and terrifying potential. Unfortunately, he had no opponent to test the blade against. After toying with it for a long while, Su Han finally returned the Black Blade to the Bronze Ring. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

I’ve broken through to the Supreme Realm, the Black Blade has been upgraded, and I’ve acquired *One Sword Breaks Myriad Spells*. It’s time to go back and take my revenge!

Su Han’s eyes blazed as he gazed into the distance. That was the direction of the Seven Stars Sect.
