Chapter 207: The Outcome

[Host, it looks like there's been some change in your Sword Intent. System can't tell if it's a good thing or bad, because it is hard to judge.]

Ye Tian Yun subconsciously nodded his head as he took out another sword from his spatial ring.

'Alright then, I will form my Sword Domain once again, let's see what changes.'

Taking a deep breath, Ye Tian Yun swung his sword in the air. And with the swing came an intense wave of Sword Intent, spreading throughout the underground hall.

It hadn't even been an instant since the Sword Intent was released that Ye Tian Yun tried to change it to Sword Domain.

But as soon as Ye Tian Yun tried, he felt as if he hit a hard wall as the Sword Intent around him suddenly disappeared.

With the whole aura and momentum now lost, Ye Tian Yun shook his head with a frown and began to try this once more.

This time, Ye Tian Yun's expression turned even more serious as he took the fighting stance and began practicing.

The same thing happened as he hit this invisible wall once again. 

Confused, Ye Tian Yun asked, ' System, what's going on?'

[Host, from the looks of it, it seems there's a high chance you have failed to integrate the Sword Intents.]

'What!?' Ye Tian Yun was shocked to hear this response, 'What do you mean I have failed… how could… wait… you never said anything about this process failing?'

[Host, it would be conceited for you to assume you can't fail. To succeed or to fail are two sides of the same coin. You won't get the same result every time you toss it.]

Ye Tian Yun shook his head, 'No, I am not asking 'how can I fail?', rather, my question is, 'How did I fail?', I want to know what I did wrong.'

[Host, for this, System has no answer. After all, if System knew the outcome, it would have already stopped you long ago.]

Ye Tian Yun nodded, 'Fair enough, but is there anything we can do?'

Suddenly an idea dawned on Ye Tian Yun as his eyes opened wide, 'Maybe  this can work…'

'System, don't interfere unless you're sure that there's no other way.'

[Alright, Host]

Ye Tian Yun pursed his lips and tightened his grip over the sword.

What he was going to do was pretty simple - he was going to do the same thing once again, but just from the other side.

A few minutes ago, what he did was that he first focused on his Lightning Sword Domain. However, he felt like something was blocking it, as if he was hitting a wall whenever he tried to release his Sword Domain.

This time, however, he was first going to only focus on his Killing Nature Sword Intent, and just when he's about to lose control, he would release his Natureless Sword Intent.

The only thing he needed to be very careful about was to release his new Sword Intent at the right time, or it would be too late for him to do anything. If things spiraled out of control, someone like Sect Leader Su might even sense his Sword Domain. That would be like inviting big trouble for himself.

Removing useless thoughts,  Ye Tian Yun took a deep breath and focused his mind on the Sword Intent.

He tightened his grip around the sword even more, and in an instant, Ye Tian Yun's hair began to flow in the air!

As if there was a huge blast at the place where he was standing, all the dust around him was 'thrown' away due to 'aftereffects'.

Ye Tian Yun felt a strong power flowing through his body as he felt his sword slipping through his hand!

Tightening the grip more than ever, Ye Tian Yun held on to it very firmly and tried his best not to let it go.

The power inside him kept on increasing, and it soon reached a breaking point.

Ye Tian Yun gritted his teeth and thought, 'Now!'

Boom!

In the next instant, an intense amount of Sword Aura spread throughout the hall!

Ye Tian Yun felt his body getting heavier, and his eyes began to close.

He suddenly lost his grip over the sword, and it flew away from his hand!

Once again, Ye Tian Yun found himself on one knee, losing his strength with every passing moment.

'Not again, once more, I am so fucking close this time,' Ye Tian Yun fell on both knees with his hand supporting his body from falling flat on the ground.

Taking long breaths, Ye Tian Yun tightened his fists and pushed himself up. However, it just wasn't enough.

Nothing came into his mind as he once again felt himself getting weakened.

Just then - 

[Host, release your Natureless Sword Intent!]

As soon as he heard these words, Ye Tian Yun's eyes opened wide, and he took a deep breath and shouted, 'AAHHHHHHHHH!'

The shout was so intense as if it shook the whole hall. 

And in the next instant, Ye Tian Yun felt another power surging through his body, as he felt his strength return back to his body.

Panting, Ye Tian Yun slowly stood up on his feet.

Lighting flashed around him as a smile appeared in front of his face - he was able to release two Sword Intents and still withstand the impact on his body.

Ye Tian Yun continued to recover his strength as the lightning around him continued to flash non-stop.

After a few minutes, Ye Tian Yun spread his arms wide open, took a deep breath, and shouted, 'AA-AAAAAAH!'

Limitless power surged through his body as he felt his body almost explode from the intensity of his own strength.

Ye Tian Yun tightened his fists as the lightning around him increased so much intensity that everything turned white!

Unfortunately for Ye Tian Yun, his eyes were tightly shut as he gritted his teeth while releasing both of his Sword Intent.

Boom!

Bang!

Zip -

Boom!

Lighting struck every corner of the hall as Ye Tian Yun clenched his fists, standing straight.

Suddenly he raised his left arm straight in front of him, and in the next instant, another sword appeared in his hand!

Lightning wrapped the sword as soon as it appeared.

This time, however, Ye Tian Yun's grip over the sword was very light as he slowly waved his sword.

BOOM!

A single wave of the sword released a lightning attack so intense that it blackened a sidewall.

BOOM!

Ye Tian Yun waved his sword once again as it hit the same spot; this time too it had struck the wall very fiercely.

Just then, he heard another prompt from the System - 

[Host, this is the best chance to integrate your Sword Intent, release the full power of your Sword Intents!]

Ye Tian Yun nodded his head and moved his left leg behind.

Gripping his sword, Ye Tian Yun waved his with all his strength, putting all his Sword Intent in the strike; he hit the wall at his side!

BOOM!

This time the whole hall shook as soon as the strike landed on the wall.

Ye Tian Yun saw a huge crack forming on it as the dust around it settled after a few moments.

Taking a deep breath, Ye Tian Yun nodded his head and prepared for another strike.

However, this time he felt something strange!

As he prepared himself to strike, instead of feeling two separate powers, Ye Tian Yun felt a single unit, surging rapidly through his body and passing straight through the sword.

The Lightning covering his sword disappeared!

And in the next instant, it appeared once again; however, this time, there was a huge difference!

The lightning was black in colour!

And Ye Tian Yun could still feel the power of the lightning, even though it wasn't striking him!

Nodding his head, Ye Tian Yun moved his sword, and once again, the lightning flashed and struck the wall opposite to him like a whip.

BOOM!

The noise once again echoed through the hall as soon as the strike landed on the wall.

While the previous attack had only made a crack on the wall, this time, the hit was so strong that it destroyed it!

Debris flew in front of Ye Tian Yun as he witnessed the wall turning to dust!

'Oh shit, I got carried away.'

Instant regret flashed through Ye Tian Yun's expression as he put down his sword and scratched his head.

The Sword Intent around his disappeared as he asked, 'System, please tell me we can repair this wall.'

[Host, everything is possible as long as you put in enough Kill Point]

'Can't you do a goddamn favour?'

[Host, System is fair and impartial.]

'Never mind, at least tell me my situation, did I succeed?'

[Host, System would suggest that you don't keep it a surprise and tell what you're planning to do beforehand. Things could have gone wrong, and System wouldn't even know what was going on.]

Ye Tian Yun shrugged at this warning and asked once again, 'Was this experiment a success?'

[Host, it most probably was a success. Why don't you release the Sword Intent and see it for yourself?]

Ye Tian Yun nodded his head and without hesitation, released his Sword Intent!

To his surprise, this time there was no oppressive power surging through his body; rather everything felt very normal.

However, that was only on how Ye Tian Yun was feeling because everything else around him was far from normal!
