Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy

Chapter 1840 Sword Intent

Alex knew that Sword Intent was all that mattered on one\'s journey with the Sword, but he had always been told this. He had yet to learn that it himself.

But he was on the verge of doing so.

The world seemed to grow still for Alex as he closed his eyes, focusing on his attack. He poured all of his remaining Qi, the tiny amount he had kept behind for this one attack, and prepared.

The attack alone would not be enough for him, so he pulled out a bit more from his body. As there was nothing else to draw the Qi from, Alex reached out to the Yang source to pull a little more out.

Using the Yang Source to give him aid left the Yin Bead to take advantage, but that mattered little for Alex at the moment. He had to use what he could to make sure that his one attack would work.

Midnight vibrated violently as it got the Qi, having never received something like this before.

There was no Blood Aura for Alex to use, but he did have Dao and Spiritual energy, which he poured in one after another.

Then, he poured in his Sword Intent.

Sword Intent flowed onto Midnight, covering it completely.

Sword Intent was simply Spiritual energy too, but it had changed to become something else, so it word alongside Spiritual energy too.

After being covered by Sword Intent, Midnight glowed softly with a white outline around it. As the Sword Intent further converged on the sword, it had nowhere else to go but stack onto itself, until it became thick enough to become Sword Qi.

At this point, there was enough Sword Intent on the sword, taking the form of Sword Qi, which could be used as an attack itself from far away.

Sword Qi glowed much brighter, covering Midnight in its glow now, becoming much brighter than before.

As the Sword Qi converged, Alex put in more Sword Intent without realizing it. This one was what he considered his sword\'s properties, which in actuality was just another form of his Intent.

The Intent to never give up, the Intent to keep moving forward. It created more Sword Qi, only this time there was no room for it in the sword.

So, the Sword Qi started jumping out of the Sword, moving around Alex as the glow covered him, ready for his action to follow where the rest of the attack went.

That was what Sword Aura was. It was Alex\'s Sword Aura.

But Alex was not done yet. There was yet one more Intent he had to pour into the sword, something that had not reached the level of either his regular Sword Intent or what he considered his sword\'s property.

This was the Intent born within him when he tried to embrace his technique as Godslayer had told him.

Alex did just that.

The sword skill Alex made was something unique to himself. It was a technique born out of a will to use a technique so strong, so concentrated, and yet so small that one couldn\'t see it.

Embracing that very technique had caused his technique\'s property to become a new Intent for him to use.

The new Sword Intent was strong enough that when used, it created Sword Qi. However, since Alex had nowhere to place it on Midnight, it appeared around him instead, appearing as thin, imperceptible little slices that glowed and dimmed rapidly.

Alex was still in the early stages and couldn\'t produce enough of the Sword Intent to have enough Sword Qi around him such that they didn\'t disappear as they arrived.

At his level, creating a constant flow of such Intent was asking for a bit too much.

Not only was he using the technique itself, and Daos, but he was using 3 different Intents at once, which due to his cultivation base was not something he could easily use.

But Alex persevered. He ignored all of the strain in his mind, focusing only on this one attack as the world around him crumbled.

The crumbling reached a crescendo, and in one fell sweep, the entire thing shattered, forcing everything out into the open.

Alex appeared in the outer world and saw the Dragon Emperor. Then, he charged for him.

* * * * *

The Dragon Emperor\'s spear was crackling with bright blue lightning, ready to strike, but the glowing ring caused him concern.

Without hesitation, he drew out the ring from his finger, reacting to volatility with quite a significant amount of precaution, and threw it far away from him.

Thanks to his reaction, the Dragon Emperor was protected from what fate he would\'ve had if he had kept it on him.

A sudden explosion came from the ring as the Space Stone inside of it shattered, releasing space all around them so fast that it left behind a spatial shockwave.

A Space Stone of the size of the ring the Dragon Emperor had held in a space of an amount that was far more than what he could use as storage due to refining issues.

The true size of the space inside that Space Stone was nearly as large, if not larger than the entire Dragon Capital.

And the appearance of such a large space into the outer world out of nowhere was bound to produce some visible effect.

The visible warping of space moved outward from where the space appeared, moving in all directions.

Hannah was slammed by the space, her body contorting in weird ways as the space moved past her. The space pushed and pulled and fractured around her body in many ways, which she barely survived thanks to using the last of her Immortal Qi to protect herself.

Had she not had Immortal Qi, or had the Dragon Emperor not thrown the ring far away, she would have absolutely died in this place.

The Dragon Emperor reacted faster than Hannah, sensing the Spatial ripple before even seeing it, and used the Ivory sword in his left hand.

He poured Qi into it, slashing at the incoming spatial blast, perfectly cutting it all such that none hurt him at all.

As the blast moved past him, he was about to sigh in relief when he saw something glow in the distance.

From the broken space of his destroyed storage ring, all sorts of treasures and objects he had stored over the years fell all around the city.

Some were destroyed in the sudden appearance, but the force there was not so much that everything died. In fact, the force there seemed much weaker than what the people far away had to deal with, and they had all survived.

However, there was one thing among everything else that the Dragon Emperor was surprised to see.

Glowing bright yellow, covered in a sword aura, Alex appeared where the new space had appeared and flew toward the Dragon Emperor.
