Chapter 18 - The Twin Silver Blades

Xiao Lin looked at the two blades that had appeared and floated in the air before him.

He then tried to grab them.

Immediately he tried to do so, he suddenly had a brief vision where he saw the expert before him floating high in the sky in a certain world and had a violently surging, dark-silvery aura of tremendous sharpness boundlessly emanating from his lean and towering figure.

Then with a nonchalant horizontal swing of one of the blades that he held, a strongly dazzling, silver-colored beam of energy that totally outshone the sun and was as wide as the vast ocean, suddenly erupted from the blade that he swung and then shot out at the speed of light towards an immense group of people that floated within a glowing, sphere-shaped defensive artifact that was actually larger than a continent and hovered in the sky tens of thousands of feet away.

Then when the astonishingly huge, silvery beam of energy that actually hid the entire sky struck the artifact which casted it immense shadow over hundreds of large regions that were far below it, Xiao Lin who was expecting an ear-aching bang sound to loudly ring out from the tyrannically heavy collision of the silvery beam of energy that completely concealed the vast sky with the continent-sized, orb-shaped defensive artifact, surprisingly didn't hear anything. There was no sound or anything like that at all.

Then when he looked to see what had happened, he saw that the colossal silvery beam only continued onward at the speed of light into the far distance, giving the feeling that it didn't come across any form of obstacle in it path.

So, this meant that the enormous, orb-shaped defensive artifact and everything in it had literally vaporized away.

"Wow! Such insane annihilating power" Xiao Lin said with his mind reeling in intense awe.

He was then brought out of the vision.

Then when he turned his head to look at the expert before him, he saw that the expert had collapsed to the ground with his skin now looking extremely pale, and that his blood which was now jet-black in color, giving the feeling that it contained great amounts of dark black filth, could be seen continuously oozing out from numerous cracks that had surfaced all over his body's thick and tough flesh.

Xiao Lin then understood that the expert would die really soon, as his body was rapidly tearing apart while his soul was collapsing apart within.

He then wanted to move closer to the expert's side.

But the expert only gave him signal that he shouldn't come any close to him.

"Don't come close to me. My blood contains powerful toxins that will destroy you in an instant. In fact, stay farther than that away from me" The expert said while Xiao Lin nodded and then moved backwards by many feet.

The expert exhaled.

He then said "The dark silver and pure silver blades in your hand are the Awakening Doom Blade and Sorrowful Sea Blade respectively. That's what I like to call them."

He then said further "But at the moment, they are only ordinary blades as they can't unleash any power at all. And this is because they have been completely sealed off. However, to enable them unleash the vastly devastating powers that they inherently possess, you can try to open the Sealing Gates which I created and compressed into each of them to stop them from releasing the tremendously destructive powers that they possess"

"And to do that, you have to follow a particular technique written in the 'Way of the Demonic Blade' battle art that I transmitted to your memory."

"Now listen, if you are in an extremely dangerous situation and want an instant, near-boundless heaven-rending power to be produced from the fusion of the two blades, you can utilize the 'Doom and Sorrow birthing Ten Thousand Heavenly Calamity Wheels' method that I also sent to you."

"The method comprises of four easy to learn techniques which are the Entering the Earth Gate, Ascending into the Greater Starry Heavens, Becoming a Belligerent Chaos Sovereignty, Descending into the Lesser Mortal Realm."

"The first and second techniques will semi-partially or partially open that Sealing Gate to allow a smaller or larger stream of the endlessly surging uncanny powers that they have to flow without end. While the third technique which will fully open the Sealing Gate, will allow the absolutely infinite, cataclysmic-level powers that the two blades innately possesses to constantly flow out in tremendously huge amounts that it size could rival that of the vast sea and oceans. Then to cease the frenzied flow of the calamitous powers that the blades will produce, the fourth technique which is the Gate-Closing Technique would be utilized for that."

"However, you should understand that such phenomenal godly power comes at a great risk to you. You will either instantly die by exploding into a cloud of blood, or become really sick since your life span would be greatly cut off to the last. So, my really candid advice to you will be that, don't ever use any of the techniques that I mentioned, as they are all forbidden techniques. And if you may ask why I created them, I only created them for my legacy disciple as a means of protecting himself or herself, since I won't be around anymore to protect that disciple of mine which is you."

"However, only when you are in extremely dire situations that you can't come out of or settle with your own power, could you use the Gate-Opening techniques. Or when you are facing a more stronger opponent and you are absolutely sure that you have gotten really powerful and stronger and that you would be able to handle the destructive capabilities of the blades' world-shaking pulsing powers, can you unrestrainedly unleash them."

"Then apart from using the nascent fathomless powers possessed by the blades which have been completely sealed off, you can channel your own spiritual energy into it to unleash a focused devastating attack of energy at your opponent."

As the expert spoke with great fatigue in his tone since he was dying and would really die anytime soon, Xiao Lin listened attentively to all that he had to say.

When he was done, Xiao Lin bowed and said "Thank you for these amazing treasures and fearsome techniques, Master. I promise to carry on your legacy into the world and into the entire universe. The whole world will surely hear about your demonic blade art again. I assure you, Master. And I promise you that I won't fail in my quest to do so for you.."

The expert nodded his head.

Xiao Lin then asked with a solemn expression in his face "Master, what is your name? And who are the people that caused great injuries and wounds to both your body and soul?"

The expert shook his head with a melancholic expression written all over his face.

"Well, it's not like my name is that important since I am already a failure. But I will tell you since you asked for it. My name is Lin Shou Wen. And my moniker is the Demonic Blade King." He said.

He then spoke further by saying with wrath in his tone "Then the people that caused me these great injuries are the people from the Heavenly Condor clan, the Great Crane clan, the Floating Lotus sect, the Mystic Rainbow pavilion, the Great Beast sect, the Flaming Luan sect, the Sun and Star God Hall, the Shadow Elite pavilion, League of Dragons and Phoenixes, and then the Nine Heavens Annihilation Sect"

"Hmm." Xiao Lin uttered and nodded his head.

He then said with a sharp and cold glint appearing in his eyes "Master, be rest assured that I will avenge you. In the future, the sects, halls and clans that you mentioned to me will be totally torn apart and completely desolated by me, using the incomparable power of sharpness possessed by your glorious twin silver blades. This, I also promise you."

Xiao Lin then bowed once again.

Then when he straightened himself back, he unexpectedly turned around and began to walk away into the distance.

The expert smiled and nodded his head at the same time.

"What an immense fortune to come across this determined young boy." He said with happiness and pride in his tone.

As Xiao Lin walked away without looking back, the expert who was Lin Shou Wen by name, shouted "Boy, that isn't all my fortune that you have received. The entire wealth that I possess which I accumulated in a lifetime of more than eight hundred million years are in a massive vault extremely deep within the earth at the Blue Lake Mountain, Death Merchant continent."

He then shouted further "I believe you know what to do."

Xiao Lin only nodded his head with a smile in his face to what Lin Shou Wen said as he walked away and without looking back.

And as soon as Lin Shou Wen said that, raging dark black flames suddenly erupted from his entire body. The flame then totally engulfed his body and began to burn it to cinders.

And while all these happened, Xiao Lin didn't even turn to look back.

All that was in his heart at the moment was to go cultivate to become stronger so that he could go free his mother and then cultivate to become the Absolute Strongest in the world.
