Douluo: Spiritual Sword-Chapter 553 - 552: Seven Kill Becomes a Divine Weapon—Power of the Divine

"Seven Kill Lightning—One Sword Shatters the Heavens!"
Once Chen Xin's swordsmanship was unleashed, his attacks were like a raging river, endless, giving Qian Daoliu no time to react.
Fusing all seven forms of the Seven Kill Sword, Chen Xin swung his most powerful attack.
Sensing the terrifying power, Qian Daoliu dared not take it head-on.
"Angel's Shield!"
Holy light formed a shield around Qian Daoliu, an extremely powerful defensive soul skill.
Due to the vast difference in spirit quality, the Angel's holy light far surpassed the Seven Kill Sword's attack. In Qian Daoliu's judgment, Chen Xin could not break through his defense.
He was partly right. Chen Xin's single strike couldn't break it. But this new Seven Kill Sword style contained seven layers of force, each reinforcing the next. By the seventh, its might far surpassed the Seven Kill Sword's normal limits.
Boom!
The first force struck the golden shield—no effect. As Qian Daoliu prepared to counterattack, the second force hit, nearly catching him off guard. Fortunately, aside from skill, he surpassed Chen Xin in all other aspects and maintained the shield.
The third force was harder to block, the fourth made the shield thin, the fifth cracked it, the sixth widened the cracks, and the seventh shattered it completely. The remaining force sliced a deep, long wound across Qian Daoliu's chest.
If it were anyone else, they would have been reduced to dust by that strike. But Qian Daoliu's Angel Spirit's power dissolved the sword energy, leaving him only with a flesh wound.
But until now, Qian Daoliu had never suffered such humiliation. He had lost three times before: to Bo Saixi with the help of the Sea God; to Tang Chen, who used multiple soul rings explosively; and to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, where he was ganged up on.
But today, he was wounded almost helplessly, and by someone whose cultivation, rings, and bones were all inferior. It was a disgrace.
"Chen Xin!" Qian Daoliu roared with rage, his body shining with light. "Today, I will use your blood to honor my Angel Clan! Angel—Roar!"
Qian Daoliu wasn't stupid. If he couldn't win with skill, and direct attacks were countered, he'd attack the soul. Could Chen Xin fight back with his soul?
Unfortunately, he could. Shu Mountain's special technique, Sword Qi Manifestation, allowed one's soul to take the form of a sword and use sword skills.
He even had a matching sword technique—the Four Spirits, Four Images Sword. According to Shu Mountain records, the Four Spirits are eight mythical beasts. Originally, it was just the Four Spirits Sword, turning the soul's sword intent into Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, and Black Tortoise. Later, an elder added the four guardian beasts of the destroyed Qionghua Sect—Lu Wu, Li Zhu, Kai Ming, and Ying Zhao—after saving them.
In gratitude, the beasts bestowed part of their power to the elder, who returned and enhanced the technique, creating the Four Spirits, Four Images Sword.
Chen Xin, in three years of seclusion, mastered three sets of Shu Mountain sword arts, two of which were Myriad Dao One Heart and Four Spirits. This was thanks to Tianlin's early gift of Gang Slash, which gave Chen Xin a foundation—otherwise, he would've mastered only one in three years.
"Roar!"
When Qian Daoliu's Angel Spirit launched a soul roar, Chen Xin's soul-sword transformed into a White Tiger and roared back—one move of the Four Spirits.
The two soul roars were evenly matched. Next, Chen Xin's soul became an Azure Dragon, its roar doubling the power—the Angel Roar was instantly broken. Qian Daoliu clutched his head in agony; soul pain was far worse than physical pain.
The Four Spirits Sword still had six moves left. Chen Xin pressed the attack.
Chen Xin unleashed all eight moves. Qian Daoliu's soul was now on the brink of dissipation.
At this moment, Chen Xin's sword intent reached its peak. His next move would decide victory.
At that moment, from the God Realm to the Star Dou Great Forest, many god-level experts were alarmed.
…
"What's happening in the human world? First overwhelming evil, now sky-piercing sword energy," the God of Kindness said worriedly. "If the one wielding this sword energy is evil, it'll be worse than the Rakshasa God."
"Hey, that guy—he's the Sword God's successor!" The Asura God recognized Chen Xin at a glance.
The God of Destruction was surprised: "What? Your subordinate's successor? When Sword God ascended, his sword intent wasn't this terrifying. If he inherits the Sword God with this swordsmanship, the divine seat might even be promoted! Asura, you've struck gold this time."
The God of Destruction noticed that Chen Xin's sword intent contained immense destructive power—he might even inherit the Destruction God's seat. But the Destruction God didn't want to pass his seat yet—he wanted to lead the God Realm to greater strength himself.
…
"Qian Daoliu, this move is called Sword God!" Chen Xin was about to unleash Shu Mountain's strongest sword technique—Sword God. But rather than summoning the Sword God, he would become the Sword God himself. All Shu Mountain sword techniques in his hands were transformed into his own ultimate skills.
Chen Xin's nine soul rings fused into three halos behind him, glowing with light.
The Seven Kill Sword began to materialize independently, just like the future Sky Douluo Yun Ming's Sky God Spear, becoming a true divine weapon.
"Three halos—a sign of a level-three god!" Qian Daoliu was speechless. Chen Xin, as a Limit Douluo, could temporarily unleash the power of a level-three god.
And not just any level three—those related to swords are always the most terrifying attackers.
