Chapter 620: 350 Qing Huo’s Selfish Desire (Please subscribe! Please vote monthly!)

At the foot of the mountain, Qing Huo, one of the Eight Great Battle Servants of the Divine Flame Clan, had just finished reporting information on Blue Star to Yan Tianyan.

He was about to start ascending the mountain when he suddenly sensed two auras descending from the peak.

Feeling several auras in succession, the first being that of a Dharma-Nascent Soul, brought only slight surprise to Qing Huo.

He had not expected that within Blue Star, there would be Nascent Soul practitioners capable of deploying the Nascent Soul Divine Powers of a Dharma Form.

After all, the divine power of a Dharma-Nascent Soul was considered an exceptional skill across countless star domains.

Ordinary Loose Nascent Soul Cultivators without heritage couldn’t use the ability of a Dharma-Nascent Soul.

Qing Huo had already thoroughly investigated Blue Star before infiltrating it.

Within this planet, there were indeed a few sects, especially one named Qingyun Mountain, which possessed the strongest overall strength.

There were a few Nascent Souls within Blue Star.

But he had originally thought that Blue Star, an End of Dharma Planet, might have had a glorious past, but after being abandoned by the Central Star Domain Holy Land for so many years, it had become a backwater area.

Not much different from the desolate planets on the edge of the universe where cultivators reside.

Qing Huo even thought that the Nascent Soul Cultivators on this planet were just a group of native cultivators, bottom-level Nascent Souls without much strength.

But now it seemed that was not the case.

Feeling that aura just now, it was the distinct breath of a Nascent Soul Divine Power. It seemed that he had underestimated the heritage of Blue Star.

Worthy indeed of being the suspected mother planet that even the Central Star Domain was searching for; there really was some depth to it.

If the first Dharma-Nascent Soul aura had only brought surprise to Qing Huo,

Then the next, the consecutive powerful auras, made Qing Huo furrow his brows tightly.

Because those auras were all created by Qin Hao making his move.

Several extremely sharp Sword Array auras bore down on him.

As one of the Eight Great Battle Servants who had followed Yan Tianyan for many years and had traveled across several Large Star Domains, Qing Huo, widely experienced, couldn’t help but have his hairs stand on end the moment he first came into contact with that Sword Array breath.

It was not something he could control; it was a subconscious reaction.

Because that Sword Qi just now was indeed too terrifying.

Just a whiff of the leaked Sword Qi had given Qing Huo a sense of impending crisis.

One could imagine, how powerful would the complete Sword Array be?

In casual conversation, it could annihilate planets, even directly level an entire star river.

Of course, if it were only the Sword Qi that was powerful, it would not be enough to make the widely experienced Qing Huo break out into a cold sweat.

Having traversed numerous Large Star Domains over the years, what kind of supreme practitioner hadn’t he seen?

He had killed powerful Sword Cultivators before.

Even Qing Huo had seen Sword Cultivators who, in desperate situations, had burned their life force to unleash one final strike.

That Sword Qi gathered lifespan, Divine Soul, and strength.

More terrifying than the Sword Qi he was facing now.

If it were purely about the horror of the Sword Qi, it would not be enough to make Qing Huo, one of the Eight Great Battle Servants of the Divine Flame Clan, lose his composure.

What truly made him lose his composure was that Qing Huo seemed to sense the existence of Sword Intent from that strand of Sword Qi.

A Sword Cultivator was like a car.

Sword Qi and Sword Moves are important, but at best, they just represent the car’s exterior.

No matter how cool the exterior is made, without a powerful engine as the core, in front of real experts, it’s still a pile of industrial waste, not worth mentioning.

Qing Huo had encountered countless formidable practitioners, with Sword Cultivators bringing their Sword Moves and Sword Qi to the ultimate level.

But among the circle of Cosmic Supreme Beings, to be honest, it was not very useful.

High-level Sword Moves might indeed amplify strength.

But at the later stages of cultivation, whose techniques haven’t been refined millions of times?

They couldn’t progress any further.

In terms of techniques, there was no longer a distinction of superiority.

What truly could make a distinction was ’Intent’!

Sword Cultivators consider Sword Intent, Sword Practitioners look at Blade Intent, and Fist Practitioners regard Fist Intent!

In the later stages of cultivation, what do strong practitioners meditate on in seclusion?

Nothing but Conception, Law, and Tao.

The rest are all dross.

Conception is a rarity across the entire universe.

Only a cultivator who has developed their own Tao Conception is qualified to enter the ranks of Cosmic Supreme Beings.

Conception is the stepping stone to opening the door to Cosmic Supreme Beings.

But across the entire universe, cultivators capable of comprehending conception are few and far between.

Only truly exceptional prodigies can grasp even a hint of it.

As powerful as Qing Huo is, second to none among billions in the Divine Flame Clan.

Having cultivated for a million years, traveling through countless star domains, killing innumerable cultivators, even defeating enemies above his own rank.

Yet, he had not contemplated conception.

Conception seems simple; it seems within reach, but actually trying to grasp it, can only be described as difficult as ascending to heaven.

Without top talent or great fortune, one shouldn’t even think of it.

Within the entire Divine Flame Clan, the only ones who had forged conception were the leaders of the Divine Flame Clan, Yan Tianyan.

Moreover, as far as Qing Huo knew, Lord Yan Tianyan’s progress in Blade Intent was still at an initial stage, and even before Lord Yan Tianyan contemplated conception, he had cultivated for several million years, with strength already above that of a Lord.

It was no surprise to Qing Huo that Lord Yan Tianyan could comprehend conception; if he couldn’t, he wouldn’t qualify to be their leader.

But what shocked Qing Huo was that today, on this small Blue Star, he actually sensed the presence of conception.

And it was the universally acknowledged Sword Dao Realm amongst the ten most difficult to comprehend conceptions in the entire universe.

The existence of someone who had perceived Sword Intent!

Such a being, in any major star domain across the universe, would be recognized as a top prodigy.

Even the Immortal Sect Holy Lands would break heads trying to fight for such an individual.

After all, a being that has grasped the conception of the Sword Dao, once grown, was undoubtedly a future Supreme Strong standing at the pinnacle of the universe.

The combat power and aggressiveness of Sword Cultivators were not a joke.

Even Qing Huo couldn’t help but draw in a deep breath at this moment.

"What freak is this?"

In this tiny edge of the universe, an abandoned waste planet, there exists such a Sword Dao prodigy?

Most crucially, the Sword Intent felt just now conveyed to Qing Huo a hint of a destructive nature.

It seemed to be an exceptionally battle-oriented and devastating Sword Cultivator Conception.

If they were to grow, it would be extraordinary.

A hint of jealousy ignited in Qing Huo’s eyes.

How could someone in such a small place comprehend conception when he had roamed the universe for so many years and yet failed?

Qing Huo’s heart was immeasurably unbalanced.

Over these tens of thousands of years, Qing Huo and the other seven of the Eight Great Battle Servants had followed Yan Tianyan, plundering star domains, and killed an untold number of species and beings.

Accustomed to life and death, having killed countless, his heart had long been twisted out of shape.

Currently, Qing Huo only wanted to kill this genius who had comprehended Sword Intent.

What he couldn’t obtain, others shouldn’t even dream of having either.

At the same time, Qing Huo did not inform Yan Tianyan of this matter.

He, too, had his own selfish reasons.

After all, it involved a human who had comprehended Sword Intent.

If unable to capture him alive, then at most merely kill him conveniently.

If possible to capture him alive, Qing Huo also wanted to try body possession.

After all, although he had not comprehended conception himself, what if after body possession, the conception also merged with him?

Compared to a powerful Sword Intent Realm, Qing Huo’s current body and cultivation were not worth mentioning.

If he truly merged with Sword Intent, he might be unbeatable in the future, possibly even surpassing Yan Tianyan.

In fact, Qing Huo somewhat harbored ambitions to turn from War Servant to Master.

And moreover, even if he reported this matter to Yan Tianyan, he wouldn’t gain any benefits, so why not take a gamble, if a bicycle might turn into a motorcycle!
