Douluo Dalu: 9 Treasure Sword

After finishing the match, I left the Arena. Outside there were only 8 people, seeing me leaving the Arena, almost intact without any signal of fatigue, they decided not to attack me [Ha! Like I'll let them. With how much power I showed today, I doubt that there would be another time when someone tried to take advantage of me leaving the Arena after a match] I thought.

I activated my domain blocking the 8 people in their place, their legs trembling so much that didn't follow their commands. A raging black aura in my sword and 2 minutes after, they were nothing more than blood pools with bits of meat. I sliced them all in tiny cubs.

[It was more enjoyable fighting with Liena, what a pity!]

I returned to my room and threw Liena's head at the floor, I invoked my sword and started slicing her head little by little until the only thing left, was a little black ball, so hard that I couldn't cut it. This was the reason I took Hu Liena's head, this was a skull spirit bone, one of the most precious, specially gifted by Bibi Dong to Liena.

I took it on my hand and I started analyzing, putting spirit power in it. I discovered why Liena could face against my speed. This skull bone, it was a spirit bone from Three Eyes Tiger, about 60.000 years old. This skull bone had different effects, its main one was a passive increase of the owner wisdom, it also improved the eyesight. Then it had an active ability, it was a great improvement on the eyesight and reaction time of the body, speeding the neuronal activity. In simple terms, it was like in films where the bullets are seen slowly, the famous bullet-time. The problem is that it couldn't be used for a long time due to stress at the brain, so it was better using carefully.

Being a great spirit bone, I decided to absorb it. Taking it and approaching my forehead, it started dissolving and little by little was being absorbed. I sensed a cutting intense pain in my head that was increasing as I was absorbing the bone. Maybe it was for that day when my sword broke or simply my mental resistance increased a lot but it wasn't unbearable. After an hour I completely absorb.

Just as I absorbed it, I could sense the world around me different, it wasn't only my eyesight that had improved enough to see little dust spots. The world around me seemed to have changed, if I focused enough I could see multiple light particles everywhere, black and red being the predominant one. Sensing them I could sense Killing and Death from them, for a little blue one I could sense some water sensation. [Maybe this is the essence of the world. Now, I could differentiate, this will surely be helpful for my cultivation]

I sat cross-legged and started cultivating. As I was cultivating I could sense these particles moving around, the black one especially attracted to me, even more to my left hand. For some reason, I knew that my sword comprehension and when I would leave outside my spirit cultivation will increase by leaps and bounds.

While cultivating, thoughtful of the way of the sword, I entered in a trance, like a lightning crossing my body, an idea appeared, with a *click* I could sense a new broad world opening beside me.

Sword Intent was the manifestation of your own will to the world with the sword as intermediate.

Sword Domain was pushing your will to the world affecting its rules, changing them to your favor.

This showed that the world had its own will. What will happen if the will of the world alienates with yours? Of course, it will easier to use the Sword Intent and Domain as it will be similar to the world, without much rejection from it, consuming far less physical and mental energy. Slaughter City was the perfect example, helping strengthen my intent and domain as they were similar. But, what will happen if I used that will of the world, not helping my own, make it mine. I will obtain the strength of the world.

With this trance-like state, my sword appeared in my hands, my domain activating on its own, black particles in the room attracted to it "Condense!" the attraction increasing, now I even saw my own domain as light particles rather than an aura. All black particles started concentrating in my sword like mad, a very concentrated black aura forming around my sword, my own domain disappearing in it.

My sword started pulsating, it seemed like it was increasing in size, the black aura becoming the metal of the sword and expanding quickly [Too much power!]. It was too much, I was losing the control of it, I swung my sword trying to stop its power, shooting it away. Like thunder, black aura started discharging everywhere of the room, destroying all the furniture, even if most of it concentrated in the direction that I swung, I couldn't help to be injured by its recoil. I had some cuts around my body and my hands were trembling madly, my sword even withdrew itself.

Even in my injured state, I couldn't help for a smile to appear at my face "Sword Heart, this is Sword Heart! Even if not complete, I'm near it" I looked at the direction that I swung, I could see my neighbor room, completely destroyed with a corpse full of cuts on the destroyed bed.

This day in Slaughter City it was known as the first time in more than 10.000 years that the walls of a room were destroyed, at least without the use of spirit energy.

This destruction created a big problem for the brown-masked slaves, they were used to repair doors, all days have at least one repair, they had a storage full of doors, so there wasn't any problem. But this was their first time, seeing a wall destroyed. The walls were created by an ancient method and were incredible sturdy, these slaves didn't have the knowledge to repair it, anything done by them would be easily destroyed by others. After some struggle, a black-masked young woman came and announced that as a prize or reward of being able to destroy this ancient wall, I was gifted with both rooms. It wasn't really a reward, who will they dare to give someone the only room with two weak entrances. So it was the normal and easier thing to do. I was warned to don't destroy any other. Of course, I accepted, it wasn't on purpose and with that strength, there wasn't any need to break a wall I could easily enter from a door and kill anyone inside.

From this experience, I was the first competitor in the Arena, that even with less than 10 victories I had a double room. Good for me! Of course, they repaired the room changing its furniture.
