Meiko stood amid the sea of swords, her expression calm, but deep within, she couldn’t wrap her mind around the fact that the surrounding sea was someone’s Sword Realm.
’This is enough to kill even a True God,’ she thought inwardly, stunned.
Of course, she had no idea that Kent had already attained the Absolute Form of Divine Sword Energy—both Sword Intent and Sword Aura.
Kent’s Sword Energy had been so refined to the point that it would make it incredibly difficult for even someone who possessed Immortal Sword Energy to defend against him.
Considering he could be regarded as the greatest swordsman to have ever lived, his understanding of the sword, coupled with the vast knowledge he now possessed of countless other weapons, had elevated the power of his Sword Realm to an astonishing level.
Even so, it was still far from being capable of injuring someone like Meiko.
She erected a shield around herself, and despite the relentless barrage crashing against it, the barrier refused to break. Naturally, against Celestial Qi, Kent’s Sword Energy was far weaker.
Even so, the shockwaves produced by every collision were already enough to reveal the calibre of warrior Kent truly was.
But the dragon whose sword realm is proving ineffective knew he wasn’t done yet.
Perhaps realising that his Sword Realm alone was ineffective against her, Kent tapped into his Ice Element and unleashed a deadly wave of frost that flooded into the Sword Realm, beginning to transform it.
At first, it was merely a sea of swords.
However, once the ice was infused into it, the entire realm took on an icy aura. Meiko, who stood amid the storm of blades, immediately felt the Genesis Sword Realm’s danger increase severalfold.
’This is unbelievable,’ she thought inwardly, unsure what to say or even what she could do differently.
Although she wasn’t in any danger, the mere fact that Kent had successfully infused ice into his Sword Realm told her exactly what kind of swordsman he was and why underestimating him would be a grave mistake.
"Still not enough," Kent muttered.
Then he tapped into his Flame Cores, igniting the Genesis Sword Realm with two different flames.
The first was green flame, instantly flooding the Sword Realm with overwhelming heat. Despite retaining its freezing aura, the realm was now also engulfed in blazing flames, making the Genesis Sword Realm appear even more chaotic.
Soon afterwards, another section of the realm turned crimson as the second Flame Core awakened.
Kent smiled before channelling the Lightning Essence he could currently mand, fusing all three elements into the Genesis Sword Realm.
By the time he finished, if the Genesis Sword Realm alone had been capable of killing a True God, then after being augmented by the three elements, it had bee so deadly that even God Kings and God Emperors might perish within it.
Kent was no longer holding back.
He had gone all out, and the results were obvious.
His Genesis Sword Realm, now empowered by three elements, had bee something else entirely.
"You are not as simple as I expected, Fjorge," Meiko said, unleashing a devastating swing of the Nine Dragon Whip that instantly blasted the Genesis Sword Realm apart, revealing her flawless figure once more.
"If this is all you can do, then I’m sorry, but you would lose miserably against me."
Kent smiled and narrowed his eyes.
The next second, an even more concentrated and refined form of his Divine Sword Energy flooded the battlefield.
The instant Meiko sensed it, she reinforced the shield surrounding her.
It was as though instinct itself warned her that her current barrier would not withstand the power Kent was about to unleash.
With every passing moment, the terrifying aura surrounding Kent intensified.
It was as though an ancient Sword Energy, one that had never before existed in this universe, was slowly awakening within him.
’What is he up to now?’ Meiko wondered inwardly, a small part of her beginning to question whether allowing Kent to attack freely had been the right decision.
Just moments ago, Kent possessed enough power to kill a God King with ease.
Now, the aura radiating from him was increasing his level of danger several times beyond even that.
Meanwhile, Kent stood silently, staring at the messages before his eyes.
[You have fused 2% Blood Qi into your Absolute Divine Sword Energy.]
[You have fused 4% Blood Qi into your Absolute Divine Sword Energy.]
[You have fused 6% Blood Qi into your Absolute Divine Sword Energy.]
.
.
.
[You have fused 10% Blood Qi into your Absolute Divine Sword Energy.]
The notifications stopped there, indicating that he had reached his limit.
However, by then, the energy surrounding him had bee so concentrated that even Meiko could sense the deadly power hidden within it.
The next moment, the Genesis Sword Realm began to transform.
The sea of swords started merging together, forming much larger blades.
In the blink of an eye, the sky was filled with two-meter-long swords, each gleaming with a refined metallic lustre. Around them, waves of Sword Energy permeated the air, causing Meiko’s brows to furrow even further.
"You know what? I feel like trashing you today was worth it." She smiled. "I have a feeling that the moment your Sword Realm evolves into a Sword Domain, even I would fail to defend against you."
A faint smile appeared on Kent’s face.
"I can hurt you now if I want to. However, why don’t you test the integrity and danger level of my Genesis Sword Realm?"
Kent slashed his sword downward.
The countless swords moved as one.
’This madman...’
Meiko quickly formed a hand seal, and the shield around her became even sturdier.
However, unlike before, when she had stood there pletely unconcerned, this time she watched with genuine intrigue as the shield formed from Celestial Qi was gradually being chipped away.
Kent had already imbued Ice, Fire, and Lightning into his Sword Realm.
However, when he realised that still wasn’t enough, he fused ten percent of his Blood Qi with his Absolute Divine Sword Energy, using it to transform the Genesis Sword Realm into something even more terrifying.
At its current level, he could easily kill a Universal God, provided he was given the opportunity to unleash the full might of the Genesis Sword Realm.
This was the peak of power Kent could currently harness as a swordsman.
His body simply wasn’t strong enough to withstand infusing Chaos Qi and Evil Qi into the attack as well.
So, for now, if he were to go all out as a swordsman, this was his absolute limit.
He had unleashed everything he could.
Meanwhile, Meiko, standing at the very centre of the terrifying Sword Realm, was left too shocked to speak.
Twenty minutes later, she sighed and extended a hand, condensing a small sphere of Soul Essence.
"You know, growing up, I fought countless swordsmen—many with extraordinary talents and incredible mastery over their Sword Realms and Sword Domains." She smiled as she looked at Kent. "But after witnessing what you’re capable of today, I have only one thing to say, Fjorge."
She clenched the sphere of Soul Essence.
A wave of exquisitely refined Soul Power exploded outward, instantly erasing every sword in the sky.
"You are a monster among monsters."
Kent wasn’t surprised that someone else had forcefully dispersed his Sword Realm.
He knew exactly where his current limits lay.
Now that he had tested the full extent of his abilities as a swordsman, he also understood what he needed to do next to ensure the next time he went all out, he could injure even a Celestial.
’I need to finish things here quickly and head to the Flame Paradise. I have to find the Nirvana Flame there and begin cultivating the Fourteen-Fold Nirvana Body Tempering Art immediately. My body is still far too weak.’
