Chapter 655: Myriad Conceptual Cave
Max’s eyes narrowed slightly, glinting with determination as an idea began to form in his mind. "If I can’t walk the path of the Invincible Sword..." he whispered, fingers tightening around the sword’s hilt, "...then I’ll make the Invincible Sword walk my path."
His sword concept was different. It wasn’t about being unbeatable. It wasn’t about supremacy or standing above others.
The Concept of Severing Sword was brutal, sharp, and absolute in its own right. It cut through everything—past, present, future—severing all that stood in its path. It had its own kind of invincibility. Not by being undefeated... but by cutting down whatever opposed it.
If the original art was made to crush enemies with unmatched might, then he would twist that intention. He would reconstruct the techniques—not replace them entirely, but slowly alter their core structure to align with his Severing Sword Concept.
It would be hard. Extremely hard. It was like carving an ancient monument anew without letting it crumble. But Max believed it was possible. With the perfect soul, comprehension talent, and Dimension of Time, he would take the Sky Shattering Invincible Sword Art and remake it into something else.
A blade that severed the sky. A slash that defied fate. A domain that cut down all truths. And a final move that severed everything.
Max smiled slightly, his gaze lingering on the broken sword that now hummed faintly with the echoes of the legacy sealed within it. "The Citadel was truly a great place to earn fortune," he muttered to himself, unable to deny the sheer value of what he had gained there.
Three powerful techniques—each enough to cause storms across the continent if word got out. The legendary Sky Shattering Invincible Sword Art, the weight-defying Star Flame Art, and the soul-bending Soul Sword Art—any one of these would’ve been a lifetime’s treasure for most experts. But now they were all his. He couldn’t ask for anything more.
He glanced at the sky beyond the window and took a deep breath. "There are still three days left before the assessment starts," he said, calculating the time calmly. "I’ll use that time to train in controlling the flying sword from the Soul Sword Art and refine my thoughts on how to reshape the Sky Shattering Invincible Sword Art to suit my Severing Sword path."
