Chapter 104: The Unsolvable Killing Array: The True Sword Intent

【From the End Times, I Alone Broke Through All Ages】

Reincarnation!

This has always been Fang Shi’s secret, the reason for his current achievements.

All of it relies on reincarnation.

Aside from the advantage of foreknowledge.

His experiences before reincarnation forged his own abilities.

Fang Shi, who walked out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, possesses tenacity and resolve beyond ordinary people.

In the face of battle and crisis, he maintains calmness beyond ordinary reach.

Even now, hearing his inner demon expose his greatest secret, Fang Shi shows no change in expression.

“Is that so? Since you covet the mystery of reincarnation, can you tell me what reincarnation truly is?”

“This matter has troubled me for a long time.”

The inner demon sneered: “Do you think I’ll tell you?”

“This is the deepest secret of the multiverse.”

“A mystery that even ancient beings yearn for.”

“What right does a mere mortal like you have to listen?”

Fang Shi smiled: “You’re right—if it were a true secret, I truly have no right to hear it.”

“But have you ever considered that what you call a secret is merely a dream?”

“A dream of foreseeing the future—wouldn’t that disappoint you?”

“I believe that unless it involves time, you disdain all other rules.”

“If you pay a price and gain nothing you want, isn’t that just a wasted cost?”

Fang Shi understood: the inner demon’s meaning was clear—he intended to strike.

And he intended to strike on Blue Star, under the decree forbidding deities from harming mortals.

Though Fang Shi didn’t fully understand why the inner demon had to return to Blue Star before acting against him.

But he knew Blue Star must be key to his reincarnation.

Otherwise, why not strike directly in his previous world?

Why go through the trouble of traveling to Blue Star, enduring the decree’s punishment, just to act?

“Hah, you’re right—but I still won’t tell you.”

“Die with this regret.”

A surge of energy passed from the inner demon to Fang Shi.

“You gain pure soul energy… soul energy converting…”

“You gain 18,759 experience points, 1,875.9 survival points.”

“Do you wish to spend 55,000 experience points to advance to Level 11?”

Familiar data streams flashed through Fang Shi’s consciousness.

Before he could choose, the data stream began to change.

“Unknown error occurred…”

“Your selected profession: Qi Refiner.”

“Foundation Establishment begins!”

“Due to the excessive killings you’ve committed in a short time, your killing aura is overwhelming—your inner demon has entered your body. Only by defeating your inner demon can you succeed in Foundation Establishment!”

“Inner demon entered your body. Quickly expel it—or kill it—or face dire consequences!”

…

Fang Shi’s consciousness returned, and he found himself in a world of darkness.

Aside from his own soul-body emitting white light, nothing else existed around him.

No spiritual sense. No magic power.

This was certainly not his own spiritual sea!

Yet strangely, Fang Shi felt his current soul-body possessed magic power, spiritual sense, and physical strength.

As if it were a true, real body.

【From the End Times, I Alone Broke Through All Ages】

“How’s that, Fang Shi? Didn’t expect I could alter your stats panel?”

Before Fang Shi’s eyes, the inner demon’s soul-body reappeared.

Identical to his own face.

But pitch-black, profound.

So black it stood out even against the dark space.

“What’s so surprising? I knew you’d strike—I just didn’t know how.”

“And why must you take my form to fight me? Can’t you change your appearance?”

The inner demon laughed: “I don’t want to—but the rules demand it.”

“When I seize the Inner Demon Dao, I can take any form I desire.”

Fang Shi smiled: “More likely, my form is too valuable.”

“You paid an enormous price to alter the stats panel.”

“You have no energy left to change your appearance.”

The inner demon praised: “You’re right—to deal with you…”

“I endured the crushing force of two fundamental rules, losing ninety-nine percent of my essence.”

“Yet even so, I adapted to this world’s rules, taking the form of an inner demon to confront you.”

“Precisely because I possess the Inner Demon Dao, I barely found a loophole.”

“So, Fang Shi, why don’t you just die right now?”

“I swear, when I ascend to the pinnacle, I will resurrect you.”

“In your memories, I felt despair and revulsion toward the end times.”

“If you die, you won’t suffer these pains anymore.”

“Why cling to life on this world? Isn’t it better to just die peacefully?”

“If you worry about Blue Star, I’ll remake Shenzhou’s vast lands and resurrect every dead being.”

"Everything—including those who died before the law transformation."

The inner demon spoke with sincerity, earnestness, every gesture radiating trust.

“Inner demon, you never miss a chance to play these tricks.”

“Why not just speak plainly? You’ve studied my psychology to craft this exact posture.”

“Trying to lure my trust.”

Fang Shi spoke calmly—he never believed the inner demon would keep his word.

If the inner demon were truly good, why would the multiverse flee from it in terror?

Countless Daoist and Buddhist scriptures speak of the inner demon’s horror.

Especially in deceiving the heart—it reached perfection.

“By the way, where is this place? Why can’t I sense the outside world at all?”

Whoosh!

The inner demon vanished from the dark space.

“Fang Shi, I’ll tell you: this is the mind—your mind.”

“A place you cannot escape.”

“Stop trying. Fight me properly. Win, and you leave.”

When the inner demon vanished, Fang Shi vanished too.

He used Bai He Sword Art, merging with the wind, fleeing far away.

Only a fool fights the inner demon.

Fang Shi sensed the inner demon’s Wind Realm was nearly identical to his own.

The Wind Realm enhances all wind-based abilities.

For Bai He Sword Art, it extended duration and amplified its effects.

Movement speed increased by threefold.

【From the End Times, I Alone Broke Through All Ages】

Fang Shi still didn’t know what cards the inner demon held.

But they were certainly not simple—he’d flee first.

“Fang Shi, you’re foolish. Running will solve nothing?”

“Because of your greed, my power has grown again.”

“Under the Inner Demon Dao’s rules, the third inner demon’s power undergoes a qualitative change.”

The inner demon had vanished, but he did not pursue Fang Shi.

Instead, he let Fang Shi flee, watching like a cat playing with a mouse.

“Hehe, the more I think about it, the more I believe your second defeat was because you held back using the Dao.”

“I waited for this very moment—a moment I could not resist.”

“What a deep scheme!”

Fang Shi knew this was the most dangerous moment since his rebirth.

The inner demon’s abilities far surpassed his own, even possessing his memories and understanding his thoughts.

Any tactic, scheme, or deception was transparent to the inner demon.

Especially now, the inner demon still stood motionless.

Not a single movement—this deepened Fang Shi’s unease.

What ability had the inner demon enhanced to grant him such confidence?

Was it something like movement speed?

“Fang Shi, you’re right—it was my scheme.”

“But the root lies in your own greed; without greed, how could you have won the second inner demon battle?”

“Yet precisely because of your greed, I’ll give you a great surprise.”

“Let you truly witness what real Sword Intent truly is!”

Fang Shi’s heart jolted, disbelief rising within him.

He had clearly comprehended the Realm—how could he not yet mastered Sword Intent?

The inner demon seemed to know Fang Shi’s thoughts and continued: “Is what’s in your mind Sword Intent?”

“You’re merely wielding your sword chaotically, relying on the Realm’s enhancement.”

“Whoever gave you this inheritance is cruel—they misled you into misusing the Realm.”

“And you’re foolish and naive, truly believing this is Sword Intent.”

“This made my manipulation easier—don’t you think cultivating the Realm through my methods was easy?”

“Easy? That’s exactly right—I truly wanted you to comprehend the Realm.”

“Without the Realm, how could I show you true Sword Intent?”

“A Sword Intent you cannot resist!”

A green, sword-shaped energy began to appear where the inner demon had vanished.

It was so solid, like a real sword.

“Sword Intent is the fusion of your own Realm, your magic power, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth—then channeled through the sword to unleash it. That is Sword Intent.”

Fang Shi continued to flee; his voice echoed from deep within his mind.

“I’ve listened to you for a long time and watched your display—it seems much like what I thought.”

“You gather wind-affinity magic power and spiritual energy, amplify it through the Realm, then release it.”

“Even a Level One Realm provides a one-fold amplification.”

“This percentage boost grows terrifyingly stronger over time—it truly deserves the name Sword Intent.”

“If you don’t demonstrate something new, you’re just blowing wind.”

Fang Shi was happy to play along with the inner demon—he didn’t believe a Level Ten life rank could master any large-scale technique.

【From the Post-Apocalypse, Alone, I Severed Eternity】【】

As long as he ran far enough, the inner demon couldn’t catch him.

Even if it could catch up, the time wasted along the way.

Would give him more chances to think of ways to counter the inner demon.

“Wrong. Your so-called amplification is merely Realm amplification.”

“True Sword Intent is something else—a realm that enhances attack power.”

“Like firearms that appeared in later Shenzhou: the Realm is gunpowder, Sword Intent is the firearm’s structure.”

“The stronger the gunpowder, the fiercer the bullet’s impact—but the more refined the firearm’s structure, the greater the bullet’s power becomes too.”

Honestly, I’ve been using a reading app to follow updates, switch sources, and enjoy multiple voice options—available on Android and iOS.】

“Only when both work together can ultimate attack power be achieved.”

As the inner demon finished speaking, the green sword in the air began to change.

Hum!

A soft hum resonated throughout the mental space.

It was the sword’s vibration—no, it was the sword’s voice.

The green sword seemed alive, emitting its own sound.

Shhh!

Instantly, the sword shot toward Fang Shi like a streak of light.

Fang Shi’s heart leapt—he had already sensed it.

The sword moved at incredible speed—at least twice his own.

How could this be!

The black mental space offered no resistance; he had accelerated to ten times the speed of sound.

Yet the sword’s speed was still twice his.

And as time passed, the sword kept accelerating, closing the distance between them.

Most importantly, the sword was so solid.

Its energy showed zero decay during motion.

Fang Shi realized he could not dodge.

He no longer had a Immortal body—his agility had reverted to its original state.

The sword’s acceleration would grow ever faster; by the time it caught him, it would exceed thirty times the speed of sound.

He would be struck, no matter what.

What about blocking?

A thirty-times-speed-of-sound attack—Fang Shi had no chance of blocking it.

Moreover, the sword was made of energy—Bai He Sword Art’s damage immunity was useless against it.

“Wind has its howl, rain has its sound, thunder has its roar, lightning has its crackle.”

“Sword Intent must have its own voice—this is the first realm of Sword Intent: Sword Intent Speaks.”

“Farewell, Fang Shi!”
