— Chapter 319 —

“Dao of Bullshit is stronger this time, huh.”

Yunlong currently stood above a bastard sword, but not a typical one because the sheer size of this weapon is thrice his size. It released a black gleam but lost to the Bokken’s shone. After entering the Sword Realm nine times, his wooden sword has reached a new stage of awakening.

[Name: Fleeting Shadow]

[Type: Long Sword/Bokken]

[Grade: Unique]

[Description: An unique Bokken went tempered by an ancient sword realm’s aura, tuned to User’s Sword Soul. Even though it looks like an ordinary wooden sword, it has enough sharpness to cut higher dimensions]

‘Hmph, how can a mere wooden sword be better than me.’ Greed suddenly whined through the spiritual link. Yunlong hasn’t used her for a while, training solely with that piece of wood. How could she not be mad?

Greed’s Pride is being beaten by a wooden stick, literally.

A wry smile appeared on Yunlong’s face. He couldn’t refute the Greed protests against him because it was a fact that he didn’t use her in the past eight and half years. He doesn’t want to break an immersion, which could lead to negative results.

Yunlong sighed and naturally promised, “I’ll use you more after we escape this Desolate Ancient Battle Arena, Greed. You know well that even 999 stacks of your Hellbringer Halberd form couldn’t destroy the dimensional wall.”

Hellbringer Halberd is currently Greed’s “most powerful.” form, enabling Yunlong to pile the weapon’s attack power up to 999 stacks. It was possibly one the strongest he could be, but the dimensional wall in the Desolate Ancient Battle Arena is extremely tough.

It’s so tough that even Yunlong’s Heavenly Ruler can’t affect the natural order here. The Desolate Ancient Battle Arena appeared after the beginning of Douluo Dalu’s universe, which means the infamous Dragon God is younger than this prison-like site.

(An: This is not Canon)

“You promise?” Greed’s soft yet hopeful voice comes out from the purple ring on Yunlong’s ring. It was adorable to hear, and he chuckled when hearing it.

“Yeah,” Yunlong confirmed with a nod.

‘Hehe, you can’t take your words back, Boss! You have to do ME every day until you’re tired and can’t go on anymore!’ The Ego Weapon unleashed a cheeky laugh.

As amusing as it is, Yunlong could only shake his head in defeat because this was indeed his fault. He adjusted his breath and lifted his head to the gloomy sky.

[69420th Wave Incoming!]

“Nice, what a tempting stage to quit, but no. I refuse to bow down because of the funny number,” Yunlong declared while watching millions of ancient giant swords appear and rush toward him. They are like a swarm of hungry fish, wanting to devour this little human.

He clenched the Bokken tightly and released a faint sword intent on the wooden edge. His arms moved slightly and caused a white line to spread among the giant sword.

It was a subtle sword slash yet so effective as half of the giant sword vanished from the Sword Realm. There is no dust left behind from the attack because Yunlong cut the swarm into a fine dust.

Yunlong lowered the Bokken gently and whispered, “Simplicity is the best.”

After eight and a half years in the Desolate Ancient Battle Arena and an unknown amount of time in Sword Realm, he discovered the essence of Swords. Yes, he refused to call it Dao, fuck the universal law.

Even when System identified it as Dao, Yunlong still called it something else.

With the most basic movement, Yunlong entered the infamous enlightenment of the Cultivation World and increased his mastery over a sword. Asura God’s techniques look lousier for him now.

Asura God’s Sword Technique essence literally is based on “Absolute Power.” to cut through everything. The first style [First Verse: Kill] meant it very well. It was a move to kill everything before his Asura Sword.

Yunlong jumped off the bastard sword and commented, “Asura God’s technique is useless if I wasn’t Asura God’s Inheritor.”

His sword intent has gone through two evolutions so far. The first one was [Sword Heart], and the second transition was [Sword Soul]. These tremendous changes bring a lot to the game, making every attack more powerful and sharp.

“Sensitivity and Potency.” Yunlong dodged a wild giant sword that was coming to him.

[Sword Soul is evolving…]

As He slashed the giant sword, his lips curved into a grin when hearing the system notification.

“HAHAHAHA!”

“YES! MORE!”

[Mortal Sin: Gluttony is happy with your greediness!]

[Mortal Sin: Gluttony cheered you with Starvation Boost]

[All your stats have increased by 15%]

[Mortal Sin Gluttony devoured Sword Realm’s Intent…]

[Mortal Sin: Gluttony is evolving…]

Yunlong waved his Bokken casually and destroyed a million giant swords. However, he has yet to find the perfect form that the quest talks about for some reason.

“Perfect…”

“What’s the perfect form?” He wondered to himself.

[… Wave Incoming!]

[…]

[…]

…

Yunlong ignored System Notification instinctively and went through a few more thousand waves. The Bokken in his hands released a deep black color and shone with metallic luster unknowingly. It’s not an effect of Material Reinforcement or Aura Strengthening.

After 177013+ waves, his red eyes shone dimly with ancient light and entered such a vision. Everything is clear for him, from the ground to the sky, small to big.

“Perfect…” Yunlong stopped and looked back to his previous step, finding a mountain range of destroyed giant swords. He has experienced a lot in Sword Realm, but he never looks back for some reason.

He looked down at his Bokken and muttered, “What if there is no perfect form? If A single action could birth an infinite result in this universe. Then a single sword slash could lead to infinite cuts.”

“There is no perfect form.”

“Life Lesson…”

“Journey.”

“The Path I made along the way… Fucking Dao…” He cursed between his breaths. He searched for the answer all this time, but everything he needed was in front of him already.

Then, again. Yunlong was the one who made this complicated for himself. A sigh escaped his mouth as he walked back to his previous trial.

Even though another wave had started and approached him quickly, Yunlong only swung his Bokken back casually. Every step he took, the giant waves tried to stop him.

[Sword God’s Trial reacted to your achievement and increased the difficulty by ten times.]

[Good luck, Host]

“Come at me!” Yunlong shouted while running forward.

BAM! BAM! BAM!

[Final Wave Incoming!]

A wave of destruction is chasing Yunlong like no tomorrow and destroying the Sword Realm quickly. He didn’t care and kept running forward to the beginning step.

[Sword Soul is evolving…]

“To the beginning.” His eyes widened when feeling such freedom with each step. A liberating sensation washed over Yunlong’s body.

[Sword Soul is evolving…]

[…]

…

…

Yunlong arrived in the first place when he arrived at the Sword Realm. Yet, instead of a wasteland filled with swords, An enormous stone pillar stood before him with several names carved into it.

[Omniversal Sword Record]

[A Record that exists between past, present, and future. It records all of the greatest swordman’s achievements in this omniverse, carving only the most noteworthy individual]

[No.1 Batman]

[No.2 Primordial Sword Goddess]

[No.3 Handsome Sword Venerable]

[No.4 Shameless_Pervert]

[No.5 Sword Maniac]

[No.6 Too Long to carve]

[No.7 ….]

[…]

[…]

…

The list goes on to the hundred, but what makes Yunlong stare in disbelief is the person at number one. No, He was genuinely speechless.

“PFFT… WHAT THE FUCK?!!” He laughed and shouted while rubbing his eyes.

“HOW DID BATMAN OBTAIN NO.1? He’s not even a sword user?!?!”

“Am I under someone’s genjutsu?”

“Neo, Explain!”

[Error, Host]

[The System doesn’t have any speck of data about Batman. That individual seemed to exist before even the [System Type 69 Z] created by Unknown]

“…”

Yunlong learned that even Neo has a limit today. He sighed and walked toward the Omniversal Sword Record, feeling his Sword Soul shaken by its existence. Ironically, This exact shaking pushes his Sword Soul to the next stage.

[You have reached the pinnacle [Heavenly Dao of the Sword], evolving your [Sword Soul] into [Infinite Sword Ways] Unique Skill]

[Heavenly Killing Stars(Passive) become stronger]

[Omniversal Sword Record calculating your achievement so far in Sword Realm]

[Omniversal Sword Record, take a note of your greediness]

[Omniversal Sword Record, take a note of your rejection against Path(Dao)]

[Omniversal Sword…]

[Omniversal…]

[…]

[Omniversal Sword Record registered your achievement…]

[After all calculations, Omniversal Sword Record registered as No…]

Yunlong’s name appeared from the bottom to the top, reaching the top ten in seconds. His mouth was open for a moment when his name passed through the Primordial Sword Goddess. It stopped below Batman and blinked rapidly with a crimson glow.

Ting!

[No. 1 Yunlong]

Yunlong froze and felt something changing within his whole being. His soul shook violently as the golden light from Omniversal Sword Record penetrated his mortal body.

[You have unlocked new achievements and title]

[The Youngest Omniversal Sword Master]

[The First Sword of the Omniversal Sword Record]

…

[The Crimson Star of Omniversal Order]

“Wow.” Yunlong could only say that one word right now. He was still in disbelief at his achievement.

[The Great Omniversal Will rewards you with +10% Divine Energy and a Decent Amount of System Point]

[Primordial Sword Goddess took a glance at you…]

[An old enemy from a distant universe has finally found your location!]

[The Great Omniversal Will blessed you with [Omniversal Cover] to hide you from danger, hoping you will grow stronger quickly]

[Name: Omniversal Cover]

[Type: Blessing]

[Effect: 100 years]

[Description: A powerful blessing to cover your existence from the eyes of a dangerous being, giving you a durable shield against any ill intent directed at you]

“Another blessing and Old Enemy, who is it?” Yunlong frowned solemnly. Then he remembered one unknown strong being in Naruto’s Universe that tried to catch him. Even though he doesn’t know the exact identity of the person, he still remembers the suffocation.

“That guy, huh.” He clenched his fist quietly.

[…]

“Sure.” Yunlong shrugged and called the system panel.

Yunlong chuckled and said, “Damn… I haven’t noticed that I’ve reached Spirit Rank 90. Not to mention all these new skills…”

“Also, what’s wrong with these System points? I thought The Great Omniversal only gave me a decent amount?”

[This is a decent amount, Host] Neo answered monotonously.

[Your pitiful System Points meant nothing in front of those dangerous beings]

[Please take a note that being number one on the Omniversal Sword Record doesn’t mean your strength is at the same level as theirs]

“I know…”

Yunlong couldn’t even take a break because the Sword Realm began to crumble. He closed his eyes and suddenly was welcomed by a familiar-looking desert.

“MASTER/YUNLONG!!”

“Oh?” He noticed the shouts from all directions and smiled in relief because everything was over now.

“I’m back, everyone.”

“Let’s go home.”
