章 48: Sword Energy Realm, Breakthrough, Star Force

"Sword in my heart, the body as a sword, I was born for the sword. Condense Sword Veins in your body, form a sword embryo into your body, and then bloom a sword heart. No longer need of Inner Space or Mana Space, all you need is a sword, and everything is a sword."

In his mind, Johnny began to recite the Sword Heart Technique. This technique was very strong, one needs to create sword veins in your body, use this method to absorb energy into your body, and turn other energy into sword energy inside your body.

The Sword Vein is the first stage of the Sword Heart Technique. Its second stage is Stage Embryo, and the third stage is Sword Heart. In the first stage, the user masters Sword Energy which is the first stage of Sword Realms. Sword Realms starts from Sword Energy Realm and ends with Sword God Realm. Sword Heart Technique is the same.

But the difference is only the sword path. Those who practice the Sword Heart Technique doesn't need to open Inner Space or Mana Space, but Martial Artist or Magician might become swordsman following Sword Realms.

The first stage; Sword Vein Stage is related to Sword Energy and is considered to be a shortcut for practicing a sword. The reason is simple; you just need to create more sword veins to enter a higher rank in the Sword Energy Realm.

Currently, Johnny has just started in Sword Vein Stage. His main goal was to open the first sword vein and practice sword energy. Johnny takes five awakening pills at once and started refining. The energy released by pills was accumulated near his right arm.

This was the place where the first vein was going to be formed. Normally, it takes two days to create a Sword Vein, but when all of that energy reached his arm, his blood began to tremble. Unexpectedly, the first sword vein began to form in his right arm.

This vein was one inch long, and it was condensed with energy. When he was forming these sword veins, his mind was working twice the more efficiently, as if he was a sword himself. His blood also released sacred energy which made his sword veins even stronger.

This vein was like the shape of a pipe, but if you look carefully it has the shape of katana. It only took half an hour to form his first sword vein. He was utterly surprised, but soon found it was because of his talent in sword and sword god bloodline.

Suddenly, his thought moved and a spiritual sword was formed above his arm. This sword was six inches long, completely formed out of sword energy, but Johnny could feel its power. His thoughts moved, and the sword disappeared.

He couldn't check its power here, so he could only continue practicing Sword Heart Technique. Although he has formed a sword vein, he still hasn't entered Sword Energy Realm. He didn't continue to form the second sword vein, instead, he started to strengthen his sword vein. He continued to strengthen this vein for the next half an hour.

Then, he stopped strengthening his vein and started forming a second sword vein. Unlike the previous sword vein, this sword vein took two hours to form, and it was much more powerful too. When he tried to form a spiritual sword, he found he could form six of them.

Although he can't be sure from the sword energy released by his sword vein, it could completely defeat the Fifth Stage of Junior Warrior. (Martial Artist + Magician= Warrior)

After that, he began to strengthen his second sword vein. Like this, within four days inside the space, he formed Nine Sword Veins and officially entered Sword Energy Grade One. Now, he could transform his spiritual energy or Mana into Sword Energy, and fill up his sword veins without using Sword Heart Method, though he won't be able to absorb energy into his body.

Unlike other paths, until you reach the sword embryo realm you need to replenish sword veins after you use them for once. Fortunately, he was only displaying it not consuming it. After this, he also finished his task and received rewards on the spot.

"Congratulation on receiving White Leaves Sword Art*1, Body Tempering Pill*50, 500 Sect Points"

"White Leaves Sword Art and Body Tempering Pills have been sent to Host's spatial ring, please check on your own."

"Good, but I don't need those now. Currently, I have to increase my cultivation realm." Johnny murmured after receiving his reward.

His mind sense sank upon Dark Energy Absorption Art, and he began to memorize all of the hidden meridians as well as normal meridians.

Quickly he took out some Awakening Pills and put them on his mouth. They slid down his neck to his third meridian. These pills began to release energy into his body, while Johnny was manipulating these energies into his sixth meridian.

Without any suspense, Johnny formed his sixth meridian in his leg. The same goes for the seventh meridian, which was also formed in his leg, except one was at the right, and another was at the left.

After he formed the seventh meridian, his elements erupt out to his body, and his bloodline trembles. A few moments, three different notification panels appeared in his head.

"Thunder Initiate Ability- One with Thunder- This is a passive ability, it increases the effects of thunder elements cultivation arts by three times."

"Dark Initiate Ability- Darkness Slash- It is an active ability, born out of the heart of Dark Element Swordsman. It has the ability to cut through time and space. (Affected by user's strength)"

"War God Bloodline Ability- Warrior Spear Three Strikes- An ancient martial art of a War God family. These strikes have the power to exterminate the earth and destroy the Heaven (Affected by user's strength)"

Johnny was not surprised for getting these abilities after his breakthrough but he was shocked because of how ridiculously overpowered these abilities are. But currently, he doesn't have time to check anything.

Since he had enough resources and lots of experience, he planned to reach the ninth stage of Junior Martial Magician. Then, he also planned to open a few small meridians for the upcoming fight. He knows he needs powerful strength if he wants to create a sect; at least he needs to be a Martial Artist or Magician.

So, he can't hesitate to cultivate. With that in mind, he took a few more Awakening Pill and started forming his eighth meridian. There is another reason for him to complete nine meridians, which was to practice Heaven Defying Stars Force Art.

This art is very powerful, at least making a Martial Artist a heaven deviant is not an easy task. This art allows a Martial Artist to form a Star in his Inner Space, and turn all of the spiritual energy into Star Force. Not only that, but it adds star force with other spiritual elemental energy.

Just by creating a single star, you can build massively destructive force inside your Inner Space, so one can imagine, how powerful will be the body will be when all thousand stars are created.

To do this, he first needed all nine great meridians. So, he didn't hesitate to cultivate more. Within two days, he completely opened all nine meridians as well as few small meridians in his body. Now, he can start that art.

In his mind, he began to memorize all the contents of the First Stage of Heaven Defying Stars Force Art. There were five stages, the next four stages were very hard to understand, and he could barely understand the first stage.

In a normal term, the first stage describes the method to create a star in his Inner Space. Here, a person needs an enormous amount of spiritual energy inside his Inner Space. This is very necessary because he needs to form a star core in a single go.

Only after that, he can continue to strengthen the star bit by bit. His Inner Space was half-filled and required a dense amount of energy to fill in. So he first began to absorb energy from those pills inside his Inner Space. Later this energy was transformed by his spiritual roots.

It took five hours to fill up his Inner Space, and even meridians. Then as the first stage suggested he bought Three Star Spirit Pills from the system. It cost him fifty sect points each. He knows these pills weren't ordinary ones, and he doesn't time to bicker around too much.

He took three-star spirit pills in a single short and absorbed them into his Inner Space. When they were inside the space,

Johnny runs the Heaven Defying Star Force technique attracting those pills together to form a triangle. Slowly these two pills began to evaporate into energy. This energy slowly began to condense into a solid pill, but suddenly the spiritual energy flooded into it like waves.

A large and large amount of spiritual energy began to merge with the star spirit pill energy. Afterward, it completely changed, and slowly the core part began to burn. It kept burning, and burning, and burning, but finally, a layer of the wall outside that burning energy was created.

Soon, a core component was formed with bright yellow flames around it. Inside the core, it was complete magma, while outside was burning fire. It was just the size of a football. According to the first stage, it will grow with the person's cultivation and how much he tempers this star.

Suddenly, a gust of energy flew out of the flames, it's not flame energy but a star force. This star force was yellow in color, and after it gushed out of the core, it completely integrates with his body. The next moment, his body began to change, and a solid amount of star force appeared in his arm.

Although it was without any target, he still wanted to check this. The star force made his fist surging with strength, and he slammed his fist in the air.

"Bang"
