Chapter 342: Chapter 342 The Origin of the Dragon Soul

"Heavenly Divine Weapons can be divided into three parts. The first is the sword body, which is directly related to the materials, the sword casting level, and the quenching materials, among other factors. The quality of a sword is fundamentally based on its sword body."

"The second part consists of Runes or talisman arrays engraved within the sword body. Your Demon Slaying Sword is the pinnacle masterpiece of Ou Tiangong, and is truly unique. Therefore, the talisman array engraved inside is very advanced. It can automatically advance and continuously improve. In the future, it might even accompany you to the Divine Martial Continent."

This world is vast and boundless, and it possesses many landmasses of state-level size.

There are even two super continents.

They are the Divine Martial Continent and the Divine Demon Continent.

Compared to the Divine Martial Continent, Dan State is barely worth mentioning. It can only be considered an affiliated region of the Divine Martial Continent, possibly less than one percent of its area.

There are many continents like Dan State.

The Divine Martial Continent is home to countless Super Strong People, with countless Sects established. It is the sacred destination in the eyes of many formidable individuals.

A Sword Saint Level warrior, in Dan State, can act mightily and stand tall. They can call the wind and summon the rain, exuding awe from all directions.

But once on the Divine Martial Continent, they would have to walk with their tails tucked between their legs like dogs.

Even a Peak Sword Saint, if they dare to act arrogantly on the Divine Martial Continent, would meet their demise in the wilderness within minutes.

Chu Feng’s potential is so outstanding that he will definitely need to venture to the Divine Martial Continent in the future. According to Ge Qing, the Demon Slaying Sword has limitless potential for advancement, and it can accompany Chu Feng continuously.

Even if Chu Feng advances to a realm above Sword God in the future, it will still not be obsolete.

"Senior, besides the sword body and the engraved talisman array inside, what is the third part of a divine weapon?" Chu Feng couldn’t help but ask curiously.

"The third part is the Sword Spirit!"

Ge Qing’s expression was very serious as he stared at Chu Feng and said.

"If the sword body is the basis of a divine weapon and the talisman array is its core, then the Sword Spirit is the soul of the sword. Its importance goes without saying."

"The reason your Demon Slaying Sword could become the chief among swords, suppressing Ancient Demons, is not only because of its own divine qualities but also because the Sword Spirit sealed within it has quite the origin and is truly extraordinary."

Ge Qing’s age seems to be at most about a couple thousand years.

His knowledge about the Demon Slaying Sword is so precise that Chu Feng can’t help but feel puzzled.

However, if someone doesn’t volunteer such information, Chu Feng knows it’s not his place to pry further.

"Senior, isn’t the seal within it just a Dragon Soul?" Chu Feng had already refined the Demon Slaying Sword, so naturally, he knew what the Sword Spirit was.

He had already ascertained that it was a Dragon Soul.

If Chu Feng weren’t the reincarnation of Alchemy Venerate, just an ordinary youth, he would have certainly deemed the Dragon Soul as a Supreme Level Sword Spirit.

As far as he knew, there are various types of dragons.

During Ancient Times, the Five-clawed Golden Dragon, also known as the Divine Dragon, was naturally an unsurpassed being. To extinguish a bunch of Sword Gods, it would probably only need to flick its tail.

A Divine Dragon of that caliber wouldn’t exist in a small place like Dan State, let alone the Divine Martial Continent.

Besides the true Divine Dragons, the rest are subspecies of dragons.

As long as they possess a bit of dragon lineage, they can be called dragons. Their strength varies greatly as well.

The Earth Dragons crawling on the ground, the Jiao Dragons swimming in the water, the Kui Dragons cultivating in the caves... they come in all sorts and are too numerous to count.

Although these are also dragons, they are vastly inferior to the original Divine Dragons.

The Dragon Soul sealed within Chu Feng’s Demon Slaying Sword is definitely not the soul of an original Divine Dragon.

"Just a Dragon Soul?" Ge Qing’s eyebrows rose slightly, his long gray-white brows twitching. "Boy, don’t be so superficial. Even the soul of the lowest Earth Dragon is an extremely high-level existence. It’s like child’s play for it to slaughter a Sword God."

"Moreover, the Dragon Soul sealed in your sword is not an ordinary dragon. Although it cannot compare to the most primordial Divine Dragons of legend, it was nonetheless an incredibly remarkable being. It is the soul of an Azure Dragon."

The Azure Dragon is known as one of the Four Holy Beasts, alongside the Xuan Turtle, Vermilion Bird, and White Tiger.

It is considered a subspecies of the Divine Dragon, and moreover, it is one with an exceptionally high degree of blood purity.

Legend has it that during Ancient Times, an Azure Dragon burst forth from the Ancestral Demon Sea between the Divine Martial Continent and the Divine Demon Continent. It was like it had gone mad, charging into the Divine Martial Continent and killing one top-notch human expert after another.

Later, the strongest beings of the Divine Martial Continent joined forces to defeat it.

However, they were unable to kill it, and it managed to escape.

Since then, it has completely disappeared. Many speculate that it returned to the Ancestral Demon Sea. Others suspect that it fled to some other state outside of the Divine Martial Continent.

There were numerous conjectures, but no one knew the ultimate fate of that Azure Dragon.

However, the reason why that Azure Dragon suddenly charged into the Divine Martial Continent and wreaked havoc was eventually ascertained.

It turns out that someone had intruded into the Ancestral Demon Sea and killed one of its descendants, a Jiao Dragon.

That was what provoked its fury to burst out from the sea and invade the Divine Martial Continent, pursuing and killing human elites.

"The Dragon Soul sealed in my Demon Slaying Sword is actually the soul of an Azure Dragon, which is quite impressive indeed. No wonder the elder said it has an illustrious background," said Chu Feng with a smile on his face.

"Hmph, when I say it has quite the backstory, it’s not just simply a Dragon Soul of an Azure Dragon..."

Ge Qing snorted coldly; Chu Feng was too oblivious to appreciate what he had, which made Ge Qing itch to give Chu Feng a good thrashing. It was a case of not knowing one’s fortune while living in the lap of luxury, even he, the elder, lusted after the Demon Slaying Sword.

Chu Feng had obtained such a fantastic Heavenly Divine Weapon yet did not take it seriously.

Unknown to him, how many Sword God Level Strong People in their dreams longed to have this Heavenly Divine Weapon, which Ou Tiangong spent his life forging.

Chu Feng was all ears as Ge Qing recounted the history of the Azure Dragon Sword Spirit.

Well, this Azure Dragon Sword Spirit turned out to be the very same Azure Dragon that had barged into the Divine Martial Continent years ago, killing countless human experts. Back then, after it was surrounded and attacked by the top human forces, it barely escaped with severe injuries.

In the end, it fled to Dan State, where it was discovered by Ou Tiangong’s guard, the owner of the Shadowless Sword. Consequently, the owner of the Shadowless Sword killed the severely wounded Azure Dragon, confiscating its scales, tendons, and other parts.

As for the soul of the Azure Dragon, it was offered up to Ou Tiangong by the owner of the Shadowless Sword.

Latter on, to suppress an Ancient Demon wreaking havoc, Ou Tiangong utilized this exceedingly precious Azure Dragon Soul and sealed it within the Demon Slaying Sword.

"The Azure Dragon Soul inside your sword could contend with the top experts of the Divine Martial Continent back in the day, and after sustaining heavy injuries, it was even able to perform the Space Jumping Divine Ability. Many suspect it’s not just an ordinary Azure Dragon, but may possess the bloodline of a Dragon King."

This was getting even more extraordinary.

An Azure Dragon was already formidable enough; possessing the bloodline of a Dragon King was simply terrifying to think about.

Consider the East Sea Dragon King, an existence daring enough to upset the Jade Emperor’s table.
