The scarlet blood soaked into the sword, the blood light swiftly spreading along the blade's patterns. The sword turned completely crimson, pulsating with a bloody glow. The long-dormant sword spirit fully awakened, its cry shaking the heavens and earth!

A distant, domineering, transcendent sword howl exploded layer by layer, violently shaking the karmic fire that locked the world around them. The raging crimson flames surged and trembled, unable to come even a fraction closer!

"Selfless, heartless, slashing the Dao with a thought!"

Lin Jichen's eyes were clear and bright, shedding all distractions, fear, pain, and despair.
