Chapter 1317: Change Within and Without (III)
“It depends on what kind of exalted emperor you’re talking about...” the sword tree replied with resignation. “Even the weakest exalted emperor in New Martial could fight three half step emperors without a problem! Therefore, the Red Moon exalted emperor is indeed invincible in this minor world. You think Li Daoheng is strong, but unless he has multiple half step emperor replicas, he is less than the exalted emperor as well!”
Li Hao nodded, that did indeed make exalted emperors very strong. He’d only just opened 108 dao meridians in his current body; there was a large gap between him and his enemy.
The young man gently rubbed his head and looked at the Eternal Sword intent still dissipating through the surroundings. “The Sword Sovereign’s sword intent is at a very high level! I want to break it down, but... it’s very hard to do so. I can only comprehend a tiny part if I personally experience it. Sword Tree, can you help me with something?”
“Help you with what?” A foreboding feeling began to brew in the tree.
“It’s better to teach someone how to fish than to give them fish!” Li Hao said softly. “Even if I absorb some Eternal Sword intent, I won’t understand it or comprehend it on a deeper level. I’d like to... die to it, again and again! But I’m also afraid of the previous situation happening as well...”
“Don’t even think about it!” snapped the sword tree. “That is absolutely courting death! A single misstep means eternal obliteration! Someone that the Sword Sovereign kills can’t even be resurrected!
“I already find it incredible that you could come back from it—but it also has to do with the sword intent being very weak. To attempt this again and again... you’re dead if a single mistake occurs along the way! I am just a broken husk, I can’t absorb that much sword intent at all!”
It snorted with immense dissatisfaction; it’d been saddled with a lunatic! There was no one who comprehended sword dao like this!
“One may yet survive if we force them to the brink of death!” Li Hao said sincerely. “I’ve also discovered that absorbing some sword intent helps the three of you with your own recovery. You were close with the Sword Sovereign—his sword intent is destructive to others, but healing to you!
“Stone was created to sharpen the sword and Sword Seal is tied to Sword City. You are rooted where the Sword Sovereign normally trained and are a natural sponge for the sword intent that he emanated...
“I have a chance to accomplish your goals only with your help. Anyone else would be hard pressed to erase the Eternal Sword intent!”
This was an opportunity that he wanted to take! Dying again and again to the sword intent would help him thoroughly comprehend it time and time again. The Sword Sovereign’s sword intent was so sophisticated that, at his current level of strength, Li Hao could only utilize this kind of extreme measure to reach enlightenment through destruction!
