Swallowing the Stars: Level 1, One Talent, Invincible Chaos Origin

After the divine power, laws, and secret runes were stripped away, all that remained was the purest 'intention'.

His mind was no longer cluttered with complex thoughts, but rather flowed like a clear stream, carrying with it all the sword techniques he had learned in his life.

The unpredictable and mysterious Seven Shadow Blades, the ferocious and swift Nine Thunder Blades, the ancient battle tactics inherited from the Golden Horned Beast, and the practical combat essence gleaned from life-and-death battles in the outer battlefields and the Star Tower...

Everything was refined and distilled down to its most fundamental essence.

His carving knife is his battle sword.

Each stroke is no longer a simple carving, but a strike made with all one's might.

The 'shh' sound of the knife tip slicing across the stone surface was like thunder to him—a symphony of will and matter colliding.

Each engraving naturally contains a unique sense of knife work.

Some engravings are deep and sharp, with a cutting edge that can tear everything apart; some engravings are rounded and contain an indomitable resilience; some engravings are wild and unrestrained, as if they want to break through the sky; some engravings are restrained, like a deep abyss current...

Luo Feng was completely immersed in this state of 'using the knife as a pen to inscribe his own path'.

He forgot about time, forgot about the cold, forgot about hunger.

His mind, his will, and all his understanding of swordsmanship were poured into the stone statue with each and every strike.

He was not creating an inanimate object, but giving it 'life'—a 'living' life formed from the essence of countless sword techniques!
One day. Three days. Seven days. Thirteen days.
Luo Feng worked tirelessly, focusing all his attention on the bluestone before him. His hand, gripping the carving knife, was already covered in blood, not a single patch of healthy skin remaining, and the finger bones encased in flesh and blood were faintly visible.
His dry, blackened skin clung tightly to Luo Feng's bones, and the animal hide clothes that should have fit him perfectly now appeared incredibly 'oversized'.

But Luo Feng seemed completely unaware of all this.

The carving knife in his hand continued to fall.

Until the morning of the seventeenth day, when the dawn shone on Luo Feng.

When Luo Feng's carving knife touched the empty eye sockets of the stone statue...
"Buzz!"

The entire solitary peak, no, the rules of the entire Grandmaster Continent, seemed to tremble slightly.

The blue stone statue suddenly erupted with an invisible yet powerful sword intent!
It was no longer a cold stone, but seemed to have transformed into a vortex, frantically absorbing all of Luo Feng's insights into sword techniques that he had entrusted to it.

The statue has come to life!

Although it did not move, countless illusory sword lights flowed naturally around it, sometimes like a gentle spring rain, sometimes like thunder from the heavens, sometimes like a ghostly phantom, leaving no trace...

Countless distinct sword intents are now perfectly unified within this statue, forming a complex yet harmonious world of swordsmanship.

It was as if it were a living master of swordsmanship! A 'master of swordsmanship' who embodied Luo Feng's current understanding of the sword path!
At that moment, Luo Feng had a sudden inspiration.

He gazed at the statue that seemed to embody boundless sword intent, and all his past confusion and obstacles melted away like snow under the sun. A feeling of completeness and clarity welled up within him.

"I see... The ultimate swordsmanship is not about being confined to a particular move or style, but about mastering its 'spirit' and grasping its 'intention'."

All things return to one, but where does that one return to? It returns to the original mind, to the will!

"My blade is my way! Where my will leads, the blade will point!"

"boom!!!"

Luo Feng's mind seemed to have broken free of some invisible shackles; his will was boiling and sublimating!
A sharp edge, seemingly capable of severing all illusions and cutting through the fog ahead, burst forth from the depths of his soul.

A clear mind and a will as sharp as a blade!

Just as Luo Feng's will was undergoing a transformation, high above the Heartfire Game World...

Jiang Ming, who was surveying the entire world, looked toward one particular spot.

Jiang Ming's gaze seemed to pierce through the barriers of the virtual universe, landing on the Grandmaster Continent, on the summit of that solitary peak, on the swordsmanship statue that had just come to life, and on Luo Feng, who had completed his spiritual transformation.

In his perception, Luo Feng's pure and sharp will after his transformation was like a soaring blade of light.

"I must say, he truly lives up to his reputation as Luo Feng." "A master of swordsmanship, a spiritual transformation."

"Collecting the structure of the will of all beings to perfect my 'Heart Fire Realm'... Observing the path of spiritual transformation of all beings is also a confirmation and supplement to my own path."

Luo Feng's transformation will help Jiang Ming perfect his 'Heartfire Realm' and his path of perfecting his will.

"Congratulations, junior brother."

Jiang Ming stepped out from the high heavens, traversing countless distances to arrive in front of Luo Feng in a single step.

In this Heartfire game world, Jiang Ming has the highest authority and can do whatever he wants.

"Brother Jiang."

Luo Feng's eyes were bright and sparkling, like two pearls or two sharp blades.

Such a gaze, falling upon an ordinary person, requires absolutely no power to 'sever' them.

"Such a strong will. You can now distort other people's consciousness with just your thoughts, making them believe that they have been 'severed'."

Jiang Ming and Luo Feng exchanged a glance and immediately realized that Luo Feng's transformation this time was extraordinary.

Without using the slightest mental power, one can distort the will of living beings.

Such a state of mind was even more terrifying than he had imagined.

"My heart is like a knife, and I wield my knife with my heart."

The sharp, piercing intent in Luo Feng's eyes slowly subsided, becoming gentle again. But deep within his pupils, it seemed as if a peerless divine weapon capable of cleaving through the universe and the starry sea was hidden.

“Brother Jiang, I have to thank you. If it weren’t for this ‘Heart Fire Game World’ that stripped away all external power, I don’t know when I would have been able to comprehend the Blade Heart.”

"You were able to figure it out, that's your skill, I wouldn't dare take credit for it."

Jiang Ming smiled and glanced at the blue stone statue that was spontaneously expressing countless sword intents.

"This 'Sword Intent Avatar' already contains your complete understanding of the Way of the Sword, making it a truly special 'inherited treasure.' Leaving it here may benefit future generations and help them comprehend the true essence of swordsmanship."

"Alright."

Luo Feng nodded in agreement. After the statue helped him pave the way to becoming a master swordsman, it would be of no use to him. Leaving it here to benefit future generations was a good choice.

The Divine Kingdom of Calamity.

"Luo Feng has grown up too. Time really flies."

Jiang Ming said softly.

"Fortunately, I haven't neglected my cultivation."

As Jiang Ming thought about his progress over the years, his smile broadened.

Over the years, although Jiang Ming has stayed on Earth with his family and has not gone out on adventures, his own strength has not declined.

At that moment, the entire Abyss Divine Kingdom began to tremble violently.

The sudden upheaval caused the earth to crack and the sky to shatter.

But upon seeing this, Jiang Ming showed no anger whatsoever; instead, he was filled with joy.

"Has it finally begun? Bilong's divine kingdom has been thrown into the Abyss of Calamity. I wonder what kind of transformation the 'Abyss of Calamity Divine Kingdom' will undergo."

Jiang Ming looked up at the sky, where a huge shadow now enveloped the entire heavens. (End of Chapter)
