Seven Emotions, Tenth Grade!

What was going on here!

Right, Ji Qianyu suddenly remembered something. In the Qian Shui Sect, there was a senior named Lin Xiaobai, who had once married a senior named Lang Qiufeng. Eventually, Senior Lin Xiaobai unfortunately perished due to certain circumstances, leaving Senior Lang Qiufeng to miss her for his entire life.

From that moment on, Senior Lang Qiufeng retired from the world, spending his days gazing at the lake, yearning for his deceased wife.

Under these circumstances, many people assumed Senior Lang Qiufeng had withered away.

Consequently, an enemy attacked the Wan Hu Sect where Senior Lang Qiufeng resided.

As a result, in that battle, Senior Lang Qiufeng unleashed formidable combat power. Within the Seven Emotions, he erupted with the Seven Emotions of Love, reaching the Tenth Grade, the pinnacle level.

Ultimately, all the adversaries besieging the Wan Hu Sect were routed and forced to retreat.

He had also achieved the miracle of the Seven Emotions reaching the Tenth Grade.

However, back then, even with the Seven Emotions at the Tenth Grade, Senior Lang Qiufeng had only achieved the Tenth Grade in two aspects: Love and Sorrow.

But now, Lu Yuan had achieved the Tenth Grade across the entirety of the Seven Emotions.

Tenth Grade!

A terrifying number.

Ji Qianyu, having a deep memory of the past love story between Seniors Lin Xiaobai and Lang Qiufeng, immediately recalled all of this.

The others also gradually remembered. In their recollections, there were occasional mentions of the Tenth Grade, as most of them, apart from Lu Yuan and Jian Ru Dun, had lived for a considerable time, accumulating vast experiences. The Tenth Grades they recalled were generally like Lang Qiufeng’s—achieving the peak in one or two aspects.

Where was anyone else like Lu Yuan, exploding with the Tenth Grade across the board?

In that instant, Lu Yuan’s spirit, essence, and demeanor had genuinely shifted. His usual indolence had become somewhat distant.

This was a gaze that was utterly inhuman.

Just a moment ago, Lu Yuan had conceived of a method, and this was that non-human method.

While comprehending the Seven Emotions of the sword, Lu Yuan discovered he could transition into a different state. Lu Yuan named this state the "My Sword" state. In this "My Sword" state, a great many of Lu Yuan's usual personality traits vanished. He became completely different from his everyday self; much of his human emotion disappeared, leaving behind primarily the emotions of the sword.

This was the "My Sword" state.

Upon entering this "My Sword" state, he found his Seven Emotions had ascended to the level of the Tenth Grade.

As for how this "My Sword" state manifested, Lu Yuan truly didn't know. He vaguely sensed it was connected to the Sword Realm; it felt as if, in that brief moment, he experienced a strange sensation.

Regardless, it didn't matter, and he didn't need to dwell on it.

The corner of Lu Yuan’s lips curved into an extremely detached smile: "Zhan Kuangtie, you just said that even if my Seven Emotions were Ninth Grade, it would be useless without resources or sufficient time to reach the Fifth Heaven of the World Realm. You were correct on that point, but you were completely wrong about the latter part—that I couldn't kill you." "Who says advancing to the Fifth Heaven of the World Realm absolutely requires resources?"

Zhan Kuangtie realized the entity facing him had completely transformed. When facing Lu Yuan before, it felt like confronting a person, but now, facing Lu Yuan, he didn't sense he was facing a person at all, but rather a sword—a sword meant to dominate the world, and a fiercely frenzied one at that.

Zhan Kuangtie slashed at Lu Yuan with his saber. Although this strike exerted ten-tenths of its potential, it absolutely had not reached its ultimate peak state.

Lu Yuan shifted slightly, evading the blow: "Now, I will show you how I become the Creation Realm, the Fifth Heaven of the World Realm."

Lu Yuan extended his hand into the void.

"I am the God of Gods, the Sword of Swords, the Extreme of the Seven Emotions—Extreme Joy, manifest for me!" Instantly, Lu Yuan's hand seemed to grasp something in the void. Those few present who had already comprehended the Extreme of Joy discovered that what Lu Yuan held and commanded in the void was none other than the Extreme of Joy itself.

That works!

Can that truly work?

This!

Every single person present found mastering the Extremes of the Seven Emotions, while not impossibly difficult, was certainly extraordinarily challenging, usually requiring the aid of various resources to achieve.

But now, what was Lu Yuan doing?

He declared himself the God of Gods, the Sword of Swords, and commanded the Extreme of Joy to manifest—and the Extreme of Joy just appeared!

What was this! After the initial shock, they considered the Seven Emotions at the Tenth Grade. If that was the case, achieving this might indeed be possible.

There was no alternative; this was the Tenth Grade, surpassing the limits of the Ninth Grade.

"I am the God of Gods, the Sword of Swords, the Extreme of the Seven Emotions—Extreme Rage, manifest for me!" Lu Yuan's hand grasped in the void, and immediately, the Extreme of Rage seemed to be accomplished.

Zhan Kuangtie felt he was going mad. Since Lu Yuan could achieve things this way, he launched another saber strike, but the blow only connected with an afterimage—it was Fleeting Dreams.

"Extreme of the Seven Emotions—Extreme Sorrow, manifest for me," Lu Yuan commanded.

While operating in the Fourth Heaven of the World Realm, Lu Yuan truly could not defeat Zhan Kuangtie, but he could wound him. In a few exchanges, it would not be easy for Zhan Kuangtie to defeat Lu Yuan. Under normal circumstances, Zhan Kuangtie certainly wasn't afraid of dragging out the fight, but now Lu Yuan was achieving one Extreme of the Seven Emotions with almost every word spoken.

"Extreme of the Seven Emotions—Extreme Fear, manifest for me!" Lu Yuan raised his hand like a god among gods, seemingly seizing the Extreme of Fear.

"Extreme of the Seven Emotions—Extreme Love, manifest for me!" While dodging Zhan Kuangtie's attacks, Lu Yuan raised his hand and grasped the Extreme of Love.

"Extreme of the Seven Emotions—Extreme Hatred, manifest for me!" Lu Yuan clawed into the void like a Azure Dragon reaching out, seizing the Extreme of Hatred pervading heaven and earth.

"The final Extreme of the Seven Emotions—Extreme Desire, manifest for me!" At this moment, Zhan Kuangtie's attack reached its peak ferocity. In order to achieve the final Extreme of Desire, a deep saber gash was carved across Lu Yuan's chest; he sustained significant injury. Facing Zhan Kuangtie, who was in the Sixth Heaven of the World Realm, it was indeed not easy.

"Fifth Heaven of the World Realm, Creation Realm, Manifest!" Lu Yuan roared.

At that instant, a radiance erupted from Lu Yuan's entire body—a light born from the convergence of the Seven Emotions, reminiscent of the glow that appeared in the first few days after the genesis of the Primordial Era. The Era was born, gaining sentience in the following days, after which various acquired life forms gradually gained intelligence.

In that moment, Lu Yuan's entire being underwent earth-shattering changes.

His magic power surged significantly higher than before. His physical body grew increasingly powerful. Moreover, it wasn't just that; Lu Yuan vaguely felt the sensation of being a creator. Yes, now he could truly create life with sentience, hence this feeling of being a Creator.

I am the Fifth Heaven of the World Realm, the Creation Realm. I am the Lord of Creation.

From being told by the Ancestor of Sword Annihilation that his Wounds of the Seven Emotions would make it difficult to break through to the Fifth Heaven of the World Realm, enduring countless failures, and being hunted by Zhan Kuangtie repeatedly—finally, at this most crucial juncture, he had successfully broken through to the Fifth Heaven of the World Realm. Endless emotion washed over his heart.

Hmph!

Blocking Zhan Kuangtie’s long saber again, Lu Yuan found his mind still spinning furiously.

That's right. In that instant, he vaguely sensed a sword technique brewing within his mind.

This was a sword technique created specifically targeting a person's Seven Emotions.

Humans possess Seven Emotions, and a sword technique created from the Seven Emotions would be an utterly terrifying art.

Yes, Lu Yuan was now forging this very sword technique.

Lu Yuan's experience concerning the Seven Emotions was truly unparalleled.

To be honest, Lu Yuan's Seven Emotions started at the Lower First Grade. Until recently, they suddenly leaped to the Upper Ninth Grade, and in that final instant, they reached the Upper Tenth Grade level. In all of creation, whose experience regarding the Seven Emotions could compare to Lu Yuan’s rich history?

And at this moment, existing within the "My Sword" state, where the sword was the man and the man was the sword, he simultaneously began to comprehend.

The sword he was about to create was named Sword Nine, the Sword of the Seven Emotions.

Yes, this sword was Sword Nine.

Sword Eight, Myriad Swords Return to One, had already concentrated countless ultimate moves into a single strike. This was an unparalleled ultimate move, nearly surpassing all who came before and after. Yet, Lu Yuan faintly felt that his Sword Nine, the Sword of the Seven Emotions, could completely surpass Sword Eight, rising above Myriad Swords Return to One.

Because Sword Nine, the Sword of the Seven Emotions! Attacks a person's Seven Emotions.

The human Seven Emotions: Joy, Rage, Sorrow, Fear, Love, Hatred, Desire.

No matter who it is, everyone has a weakness regarding their Seven Emotions.

And this move by Lu Yuan attacks through the Seven Emotions. Wherever there is a weakness, an attack can be delivered.

Furthermore, this move was not that simple; it incorporated the Seizure of Seven Emotions. Simply put, when this sword emerged, it would temporarily strip away a person's entire set of Seven Emotions. A master of techniques invariably embeds emotion into their moves; otherwise, they cannot unleash their strongest techniques. However, the Sword of the Seven Emotions could instantly strip away a person's emotions, and under such circumstances, any technique would develop a flaw.

It could be said that Sword Nine, the Sword of the Seven Emotions, was a sword technique targeting the Seven Emotions—seizing the Seven Emotions of others—making it the nemesis of almost every technique in the world!

That's right!

The nemesis of ALL! TECHNIQUES!

Unless your technique requires absolutely no Seven Emotions, but a technique requiring no emotion could never be too powerful.

For example, a sword move—could it truly be strong if you didn't pour emotion into it?

Thus, this strange situation arose.

Lu Yuan vaguely felt that his Ancient Sword Dao might not contain many sword moves. Sword Nine, the Sword of the Seven Emotions! was already nearing the limit of this entire sword art, because reaching Sword Eight and Sword Nine meant this technique was already almost invincible. Of course, he was still in the process of creating the Sword of the Seven Emotions.
