Extra Chapter 190: Matchless Sword Dao

The Seventh Ancestor looked at Li He before him, whose aura was restrained as if he were a Mortal, yet waves of shock churned within his heart.

"Heer, you… you are at the Peak of the Third-Turn Yukong Realm?"

A hint of irrepressible trembling echoed in the Seventh Ancestor's voice.

As the strongest Sword Cultivator in the Lingxian Realm, his discernment was naturally extraordinary. Although Li He concealed his aura perfectly, the subtle sharpness he unintentionally leaked still made this old monster who had cultivated for hundreds of thousands of years feel a flutter of trepidation.

Li He scratched his head and smiled somewhat sheepishly, "It seems so. I accidentally achieved a Breakthrough over at the Myriad Sword Pool just now. I didn't expect it to cause such a commotion."

"Accidentally?"

The Seventh Ancestor's mouth twitched.

Having lived for hundreds of thousands of years, he had seen countless Geniuses and Prodigies, but someone who caused such huge commotion "accidentally" like Li He was truly a first.

"Forget it, forget it. Come over and let me have a look at you."

The Seventh Ancestor waved his hand, gesturing for Li He to step closer.

Li He complied and stepped forward. The Seventh Ancestor reached out a hand and placed it on his shoulder, sending a gentle stream of Sword Intent probing into Li He's body.

In an instant, the Seventh Ancestor's expression shifted.

"This… this is!"

The Seventh Ancestor's eyes widened as he looked at Li He in disbelief.

He discovered that not only did Li He possess blood and vital energy far exceeding that of ordinary people, but a Seed of Chaotic Sword Intent was also floating quietly inside his Dantian, emitting a grayish-white glow.

Although this seed of Sword Intent was still dormant, the aura it radiated made even a Sword Cultivator like him, who had cultivated for hundreds of thousands of years, feel a trace of pressure.

"A Seed of Chaotic Sword Intent!"

The Seventh Ancestor sucked in a breath of cold air and muttered, "This is a supreme treasure rare even in the Immortal Realm! Heer, when did you condense this?"

Li He thought for a moment and spoke truthfully, "On the way to the Endless Sword Sect, I spent fifty Spirit Stones to buy a sword manual. After learning it, it condensed automatically."

"A sword manual bought for fifty Spirit Stones?"

The Seventh Ancestor felt his worldview shattered once again.

He took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down, and then said slowly, "Heer, let me see that sword manual."

Li He casually pulled out the still-smudging Taichu Sword Technique from his storage ring and handed it over.

The Seventh Ancestor took the technique, flipped it open, and his expression instantly turned odd.

"Isn't… isn't this the most basic Introductory Sword Technique?"

The Seventh Ancestor did not know whether to laugh or cry as he looked at the manual in his hand, his gaze towards Li He growing even more complex.

"Heer, you used the most basic sword manual to condense a Seed of Chaotic Sword Intent?"

Li He nodded and took it for granted as he said, "This manual works pretty well. I think it's much better than those flashy ones."

The Seventh Ancestor fell silent.

He suddenly felt as if his hundreds of thousands of years of Sword Dao cultivation had all gone to waste.

"Forget it, forget it."

The Seventh Ancestor waved his hand, handed the technique back to Li He, and smiled bitterly. "It seems this old bone of mine has nothing left to teach you. But since you're here, let me see just how powerful your Sword Dao talent really is."

With that, the Seventh Ancestor casually waved his hand, and an ancient longsword appeared in his grasp.

"Come, attack me with your strongest sword move."

The Seventh Ancestor stood with his hands behind his back, holding the longsword horizontally in front of him, his expression calm.

Seeing this, Li He declined no further.

Taking a deep breath, he activated the Seed of Chaotic Sword Intent within him, and a surge of grayish-white Sword Intent erupted from his body.

Instantly, the heaven and earth changed color!

Innumerable streams of Sword Qi in the Myriad Sword Pool seemed summoned, gathering towards Li He to form a sky-blotting sword curtain behind him.

The surrounding Disciples gasped in horror upon feeling this aura and scattered in all directions.

A flash of shock glinted in the Seventh Ancestor's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.

"Not bad, quite interesting."

Li He gripped his longsword tightly, his figure blurring as he instantly appeared before the Seventh Ancestor.

He used no fancy sword moves, executing a simple and straightforward thrust.

Yet this plain and simple thrust seemed to embody the ultimate truths of heaven and earth, tearing through the surrounding air with an ear-splitting whistle.

Light flared in the Seventh Ancestor's eyes as he lightly raised his sword to block.

"Clang!"

A crisp metallic clash rang out, and the surrounding air instantly exploded into a violent gale.

The Seventh Ancestor stood firmly in place, unmoving, but the hand holding his longsword trembled slightly.

"Good! What a fine Chaos Sword Intent!"

The Seventh Ancestor laughed heartily, his eyes filled with gratification.

"Again!"

Li He wasted no words and swung his sword, attacking once more.

For a time, the two clashed fiercely above the Myriad Sword Pool, sword lights crisscrossing as Sword Qi soared into the sky.

The surrounding Disciples watched dumbfounded; they had never witnessed such a magnificent Sword Dao duel.

Although Li He was only in the Yukong Realm, empowered by his Chaos Sword Intent, every strike carried world-destroying power.

On the other hand, although the Seventh Ancestor suppressed his cultivation base, his hundreds of thousands of years of Sword Dao attainment were far from ordinary; every move was executed to subtle perfection, handling heavy force with utter ease.

After trading over a hundred moves, Li He finally exhausted his strength and pulled back his sword, retreating.

"Grandpa Seventh Ancestor, I lost."

Li He wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a smile.

The Seventh Ancestor shook his head and sighed, "It's not that you lost; I lost. If I fought you at the same Realm, I doubt I could even block ten of your strikes."

"Heer, your Sword Dao talent is unlike anything I've ever seen in my life."

Sheathing his longsword, the Seventh Ancestor patted Li He's shoulder and said earnestly, "From today onward, you no longer need to learn the sword from me. The path you must walk is no longer something I can teach."

"You only need to remember one thing: the Sword Dao is boundless. As grand as your heart is, so strong your sword shall be."

Li He nodded thoughtfully.

Just then, the System prompt suddenly resounded in Li He's mind.

"Ding-dong! Congratulations to the host for triggering a new choice!"

"Faced with the Seventh Ancestor's guidance, the host chooses:"

"Option 1: Humbly accept the Seventh Ancestor's guidance and Cultivate the Sword Dao step by step. Reward: Seventh-Tier Sword Intent."

"Option 2: Forge your own path of the Sword Dao, using Chaos Sword Intent as the foundation to create a Sword Dao uniquely your own. Reward: Chaos Sword Domain (Growable)."

Without a second thought, Li He directly chose Option 2.

What a joke. When had Li He ever followed the rules step by step?

"Ding-dong! Congratulations to the host for selecting Option 2!"

"Reward distributed: Chaos Sword Domain (Growable)."

"Chaos Sword Domain: A special Domain formed with Chaos Sword Intent as its foundation. Within the Domain, all things become swords and can be controlled at will."

Sensing the new power within his body, a flash of excitement gleamed in Li He's eyes.

He looked at the Seventh Ancestor and bowed respectfully, "Grandpa Seventh Ancestor, thank you for your guidance. I think I know which path to take now."

Seeing the fervent glow in Li He's eyes, the Seventh Ancestor nodded with gratification.

"Good! Go, walk your own path."
