Chapitre 48: Crumbling The Nine Heavens.
After a flash of white light, Yao Jun found himself standing within a large hall. The floor of the hall was covered with a red carpet, large and unadorned pillars lining the walls, holding up the ceiling. The entire hall was empty except for a single coffin placed in the middle of the hall.
The coffin was made out of a type of black stone and had no decorations, only the words 'Nine Heavens Sword Empyrean' carved onto the lid. Yao Jun and Nine Heavens Sword Empyrean were standing in front of the coffin, but Nine Heavens Sword Empyrean's form had turned almost completely translucent.
"Senior, are you okay?"
Yao Jun hurriedly spoke out. He had never met the Nine Heavens Sword Empyrean before, but the Nine Heavens Sword Empyrean still helped Yao Jun condense his Sword Intent. He also told Yao Jun a lot of information and warned him about what he had to be careful about in the future. Yao Jun felt that he had to do something to repay such graciousness.
"It is nothing, I am but a trace of residual thought that was left behind before my master died. Activating the illusion array I used to show you what would happen if you gave in to anger drained too much of my energy, but even if I did not do it, I would still not manage to exist for longer than a few years anyway."
The Nine Heavens Sword Empyrean shook his head and gave Yao Jun a comforting smile. He had waited a long time for someone to meet the standards he had set before his death. While Yao Jun did not manage to meet every standard, he was still good enough. The fact that he had the Demon God's Gate was also a large part of the reason why he would spare no effort to help him.
"I cannot exist for much longer, but there are still two things I can do for you. While I was supposed to give away this entire tower to whoever managed to meet my standards, but since you have that gate, there is no point in giving you the tower."
After the Nine Heavens Sword Empyrean spoke, he raised his transparent hand and pointed at the spot next to Yao Jun's heart. Once his finger made contact with Yao Jun's chest, Yao Jun felt like all the blood in his body suddenly started flowing in the opposite direction, an extremely unpleasant and painful feeling.
"Endure it, this process is necessary."
The Nine Heavens Sword Empyrean spoke with a solemn voice, his eyes completely focused on the spot where his finger was touching Yao Jun. Yao Jun grit his teeth and endured the pain. He could feel that the blood in his body was gathering around the place where the Nine Heaven's Sword Empyrean was touching him, the place where his Demon God's Gate was located.
After gritting his teeth for a short while, the feeling of his blood running in reverse vanished. What replaced it was the feeling of a large clot of blood slowly moving out from his chest. Looking down, Yao Jun was shocked to see a ball of blood the size of two fists slowly moving out of his chest.
The blood was not purely red, it also had shades of black, purple, gray, and blue. It was clear that his blood had already been completely mixed with the Demon God's Gate, slowly changing his body. If his thoughts were correct, the other colors in his blood were the result of him absorbing Demonic beasts with his gate. He couldn't help but wonder if there would be a day where he no longer even had red blood in his body.
The Nine Heavens Sword Empyrean reached out with his other hand, placing both his palms on the ball of blood. A Surge of power burst out of his body, giving Yao Jun the feeling that he was just a tiny leaf in the face of a massive storm. The power gathered around the ball of blood and sank into it.
Once the power sank into the ball of blood, the blood started changing in shape and color. What was once a ball of blood quickly transformed into a simple and unadorned black sword.
The blade of the sword was pitch black, two fingers wide and about 80 centimeters in length. The handle was colored with a swirl of blue, purple, and gray, and was just large enough for Yao Jun to grasp it with one hand. Yao Jun only looked at the sword, but just looking at it was enough for him to know that this sword was of utmost quality. Maybe it was even sharp enough to slice armor like mud?
At the same time, he could also feel a sense of familiarity from the sword, like he was looking at a long lost friend. Without thinking about it, he reached out with his hand and grasped onto the hilt. The hilt fit perfectly into his palm, the sword immediately feeling like it was a part of his body.
While he looked at the sword, he got another strange feeling from it. He moved his mind a little, following that strange feeling, and the sword simply vanished from his hand. He didn't panic when the sword vanished, because he could still feel it. The sword was no longer in his hands, but it had moved into his body, placing itself next to the Demon God's Gate. With another move of his mind, the sword once more appeared in his hand.
"This is a technique I was taught by my friend who visited this planet, it is called the Blood Transforming Technique. Using this technique, one can transform their blood into the shape of their preferred weapon."
"I have slightly changed this technique to fit the people of this planet better. Using a person's blood as well as the energy from their inborn spell I can use the technique to craft a weapon that belongs to only that person. A perfect weapon that will grow alongside its wielder, following him down whatever path he chooses to advance on."
While the Nine Heavens Sword Empyrean spoke, despite his nearly transparent body, his eyes burned with a raging passion. This technique was clearly something that he was extremely proud of.
"That sword can be stored inside your body as you have just noticed, as you grow stronger and absorb more Demonic beasts, the blade will grow stronger alongside you. This is the first thing I can do for you. This is the second thing."
After the Nine Heavens Sword Empyrean finished speaking, he raised his hand once more, this time placing his finger at the spot between Yao Jun's eyebrows. Once the finger made contact with Yao Jun's forehead, a large amount of information flowed into his mind. As he was focusing on the information, the Nine Heavens Sword Empyrean spoke out again.
"This is my personal technique, a technique I spent my entire life to create. It embodies not just my life, but also my hopes and dreams. It is simply called Crumbling The Nine Heavens."
