Sin took a couple minutes to rest up before continuing on his grinding spree. Sin had gathered a total of 700 swords this time. A wave of new and improved Mystic Blade Spirit Puppets hounded him.

Clashing with the first puppet, Sin was sent skidding backwards. His hands were numb and shaking violently. Sins eyes widened in shock thinking to himself. "These mother fuckers just cloned my technique and even upgraded it!! How fucking dare they!?"
Sins body slithered like a snake, gathering power from his entire being and channeling it into one focus point. Slashing downwards, Sin managed to make the Mystic Blade Puppet back off 4 steps. His entire body was devouring the dragons essence at a enriched speed now. The pressure was pushing his body to adapt faster.
Sin sheathed his weapon before quick-drawing it at insane speeds. The sound of a thunder clap was heard, a giant net of Sword Qi was formed. As if it had a mind of its own, the Sword Qi was like a school of fish, swimming around in their territory without restraint.
Sins eyes blazed in white and blue, the battle field in his mind reformed. His body was moving 750 times a second, as if he were a wandering specter appearing all over the place. Sins weapons were slashing out in intense speeds, thunder rumbled and the wind howled forming a cyclone with himself at the center.
Sin spent a whole 20 minutes wiping this crowd out, feeling the time about 15 hours passed since he had entered the Mystic Blade World. He had gained 11,200/100,000 fragments. Feeling pressured, especially at permanently losing levels and the Mystic Blade Disciple Class. Sins body worked into overdrive, flipping his switch back on Sin continued his rampage.
Three days past, Sin had gathered a total of 64,000/100,000 fragments, as well as completing three more challenges, earning another +45 all stats and +15 to Physique and Comprehension, Sins opponents were now overwhelmingly strong. Each and every wave was of Mystic Blade King Spirit Puppets.

Sin was currently drenched in his own blood, even with his body continuously absorbing the dragons essence. Sin felt like a mountain of lead, each movement he made was costing him all the energy in his very being. His arms were heavy like having a weighted mountain held up by them for 72 hours straight.
Sins consciousness was exhausted, and steam was literally billowing out of his ears. His brain was overworked, just the single thought of his next move shocked his mind with burning pain.
Sin just narrowly avoided a sword chopping his arm off, but failed to dodge the one that stabbed through his chest. The Spirit King Puppet brazillian kicked Sin, sending Sins exhausted and drained body backwards. Sin was like a rocket through the Mystic Blade World, two giant 200 meter dust waves were created by Sins rocketing body.
Sin finally stopped after slamming into a mountain, blood splattered all over the ground as Sin coughed up blood with chunks of organs mixed within.
The Spirit King Puppet had arrived in front of Sin. "Pitiful human, if you would just give up on this trial, you would be saving time for the both of us. If you self evict yourself, you can leave the trial with everything you have already earned. However, if you fail in the remaining 36 hours, you will lose it all and have many difficulties coming your way."
Sin had nearly fallen into a state of unconsciousness. Sin pulled his body out of the mountain nearly dropping to the ground, Sin stabbed his weapon into the ground beneath him. Blue-white aura began circulating around his body, Sins will would never allow himself to lose to anyone. Even if it was the inevitable destruction of the world, Sin is the cockroach that would survive it.
Sins body flashed in front of the Spirit King Puppet. His index finger was illuminated with a sparkling crystal clear aura, stabbing his finger through the Spirit King Puppets carapace. The aura shot out starting as a small arrow of light, before expanding turning into a cyan-white coloured ball of aura.
[Mystic Sorcery: White Nebula!]
"Nothing but utter bullshit. If you have time to speak, you have time to cut your enemy down!"
Sins body finally gave out when the threat of an enemy disappeared. Falling with his back on the ground, looking up at the sky in the Mystic Blade World. Sin was exhausted mentally, while his body was full of vigor and roaring to go.
"That makes 64,001 only 35,999 more to go." Sin closed his eyes for 30 minutes, allowing his mind to come back to peak condition. While his exhaustion was still there, at least he was now able to act and fight properly.
During the trial after he had gained more than 10,000 Sword Heart Fragments. A new path of development entered his mind sea, Mystic Sorcery. While the class Mystic Blade Disciple class wasn't like traditional mages, it did combine allowing one to be both a warrior, and slightly weaker mage at the same time. However, the Mystic Sorcery had many modes of operation. So far Sin had only taken the time to learn White Nebula, there were well over 10 attack, defensive, restraining, and formation spells to learn in each branch. After mastering all 10 of each branch, the Mystic Sorcery would reveal its second level, bringing in intermediate magic, then afterwards following into Advanced> Master> Grand Master> Saint> Divine> and ending at God rank spells.
The Mystic Blade Empress and her husband were sitting there stunned. Seeing her husband look at her, she took the initiative with her hands up in the air.
"I had no part in teaching him any techniques, or how to enter the Mystic Soul states. Let alone combining his consciousness and subconscious entering the Mystic Unity state, not even I have fully mastered that. This little monster can handle the first form for 20 minutes, and the second form for 4 minutes now. Maybe with him there is a possibility of that legend resurfacing?"
Her husbands eyes went wide. "Whoa honey you have got to be crazy. Sure he is very talented and monstrous being, but achieving the Mystic Transcendent Soul stage is beyond anyone in this era. Not even your father was able to step into that door!"
The Mystic Blade Empress frowned clearly not happy. But her hope was there, she picked Sin as her disciple because of his boundless potentials. But maybe she was being too hopeful.
Back in the Mystic Blade World, Sin had begun his slaughter all over again. Sin had been able to integrate the White Nebula with his sword techniques, bringing a further destructive and mind blowing effect.
Twelve hours has passed leaving him with 1 full day left. Sin had managed to gather 90,000/100,000 Sword Heart Fragments. Sin had emptied the majority of the Mystic Blade World, now there was 1 final clone left. Sin sat cross-legged for 1 full hour, bringing himself back to his very tip top peak condition.

Getting up and walking over picking up a random Sword, Sins new foe had entered the battlefield.
Name: Mystic Blade Spirit Emperor Puppet
Title: Blood Dragon Sword Methods Conqueror
Level: 55
Health: 1,250,000
Mana: 1,250,000
Strength: 400
Intelligence: 400
Dexterity: 500
Agility: 500
This Spirit Emperor Puppet truly frightened Sin, there were 23 hours left, and there were 14 clones left. Not only that, Sins very foundation felt challenged and threatened. His most prized techniques had one day come to bite himself in the ass. This was a Conqueror stage practitioner! Sin was sweating heavily, but beyond most of all. His fighting spirit had been ignited like none before. Not even fighting Alarune, or Glaze had brought him this much excitement!
The voice of a conqueror issued out. "Draw your weapon and fight me with all you got! Why are you looking at my stats you little punk!? Haven't you always been slaughtering enemies of higher rank with your abilities and combat sense!? Show me what you have got!"
Sin launched off the ground leaving a deep crater. Sin and the Spirit Emperor Puppet clashed weapons, Sins and the Spirit Emperor reacted at the same time. Both of their legs smashed into each other in the air forming a X with a loud "Thud!" Meeting fist with fist both man and puppet were raining blows into each others bodies. Sin twisted his body, wrapping his right arm around the puppets arm, Sin kneed upwards onto the arm issuing a loud "Snap!"
The puppets remaining fist launched itself into Sins gut, sending Sin over 1,500 meters into the air. Launching itself off the ground, Sin regained his balance. Bouncing off the air both clashed with their weapons, sending a massive shockwave throughout the entire Mystic Blade World. Even outside of the crystal ball, the tea set, table, and courtyard had been disarrayed from the ferocious shockwave.
Both man and puppet struck at each others sequence structures at the same time. Both looked at each other with insanity in their eyes. Both men roared into the sky.
"PULL THE TRIGGER MOTHER FUCKER!"
Blood guts and armour fell from the sky as both were left with gaping holes in their body. Flashing forward once again both man and puppet punched each other viciously into the face. The Spirit Emperor Puppet activated [Heart Severing Diagram] from the Heart path.
A giant diagram formed around Sins body trapping him. Sin felt like his heart was about to blow up within his body. His heartbeat increased to rapid speeds, nearly about to burst out from his chest. Sin heaved blood as he felt the threat of death approaching him.
Entering into the Mystic Unity state. Sin raised his weapon high up into the air, his weapon blazed with Phoenix Queen Sacred Flame, and the mystic energy in his body roared out enhancing the Sacred Flame further.
Slashing downwards imposing his weapon as if it were Mount Olympus crashing upon the mortal world. Sin yelled with all his might.
[Impose: World Rending Annihilation!]
Sin cut through the Heart Severing Diagram, a bright mystic beam of Phoenix Queen Sacred Flame was seen as the void of the Mystic Blade World was cut open. The strike was like tribulation thunder, merciless with the only goal to strike down who defies it!
The Spirit Emperor Puppet roared as it combined all 6 paths of the Blood Dragon Sword Method. Its body lit up with the elements taking shape into a rainbow coloured combat suit. The Spirit Emperor Puppet charged forward unleashing all the killing intent in its body.
[Tartarus Impalement!]
Both techniques boomed as the mountains in the Mystic Blade World were sliced in half from the shockwave. Both man and puppet were flung backwards like kites with their strings cut. Sins entire body from head to toe was covered in blood, there was now another massive gaping hole through his abdomen.
The Spirit Emperor Puppet wasn't doing any better, its entire armour and carapace had shattered into thousands of pieces. It was also weakly staring back at Sin.
"I will NOT be defeated!" The Spirit Emperor Puppet rushed at Sin once again.
"I will KILL you!" Sin bellowed once again igniting into a inferno. Sin threw his sword from his left hand to right hand. Sacrificing his left arm, Sins body spinned 360 degrees in a side flip. Sins entire body was downwards, his lower body was faced upwards and lower body downwards. With his face meeting the face of the Spirit Emperor Puppet he said two simple words.
"Fuck You!"
Sins right arm was imbued with his full 4,000 points of Mana. With his hand on the shaft of his weapon, the blade flew out of it with insane speed cleaving the entire sky open.
[Illusionary Sword Third Form: Lightning Column Devastation!]
A penta layered column of light blades formed surrounding Sin and the Spirit Emperor Puppet. The blades as if on a vibrating string all aimed downwards, Sin smashed his fist into the bare chest of the Spirit Emperor Puppet. With his right arm locking the Spirit Emperors Puppets neck, Sin used all his might to hold the opponent in position.
"Let's see which one of is tougher. Your carapace or my fleshly body!"
Hundreds of blades rained down piercing through both Sin and the Spirit Emperor Puppet. The final blade Sin left a trick, he imbued his Sky, Water, Fire, Soul path into it. When it formed it looked like a celestial blade descending from the immortals realm. The Spirit Emperor Puppet smashed its elbow repeatedly into the remaining of Sins abdomen.
But Sin was like a magnet attached to its body, the blade propelled itself downwards racing towards Sin and the Puppet. Sin yelled loudly before the blade tore through himself and the puppet.
[Four Paths Vanquishers Blade!]
As the blade descended Sin ruthlessly sacrificed his right leg. Locking the Spirit Emperor Puppet in place, Sin flashed up to the handle of the Four Paths Vanquishers Blade. With his remaining arm engulfed in Phoenix Queen, Sin punched down on the blade with all his body weight and power.
With his body weight added into the mix, Sins punch was like fiery lava. When it landed, it felt as if Sin had opened up a new gate. Quickly summoning his remaining Mana to protect his severed leg. Sin quickly unsheathed his Soul Weapon. Once again putting all his body weight, rotating his core and entire being. Sin slashed down, his ferocious strength formed a flood dragon as it clashed into the Four Paths Vanquishers Blade.
The Four Paths Vanquishers Blade was hit with 2 of Sins sudden insight. Smashing into the Spirit Emperor Puppet like a 20 tonne truck. The blade easily pierced the Spirit Emperor Puppets body. Shooting downwards towards the ground. A magnificent explosion was created.
The entire world rocked back and forth as if Armageddon was happening. The Mystic Blade Empresses crystal ball showed signs of cracks appearing on its surface. This relic of hers was a Divine ranked artifact, with a artificial world inside of it. The toughness of it you could imagine, thus Sins new insight and full powered last technique was truly monstrous!
It took over 10 minutes for the dust, and rubble to stop flying around like bats out of hell. Sin admired the aftermath of his new insight and last technique. The Mystic Emperor Puppet was blasted into thousands of pieces.
Sin had gained his reward.
[Congratulations! You have completed a task that was deemed unbelievable to achieve at your current strength.]
[Reward: 10,000 Sword Heart Fragments. +25 all stats, +10 Physique, +10 Comprehension.]
[Evaluation: SSS Rank. Rewards: 25,000,000 Experience Points, 450,000 Merit Points, +500 Phoenix, Vermilion Bird, Wolf Scales]
[Congratulations! You have leveled up through levels 11, 12, 13.]
[You have gained 60 Status Points]
[The Mystic Blade Spirit Emperor Puppet has senses the fledgling Spirit in your Soul Weapon. It would like to merge with your weapon, increasing the grade of you Soul Weapons Spirit. Do you accept?]
Sin unhesitatingly clicked on the "Yes"
The moment he did, the soul of the Mystic Blade Spirit Emperor Puppet appeared. It was a wandering spirit now. Despite being so, it bowed with respect in front of Sin before its voice transmitted to Sin.
"Thank you for the exhilarating fight. Now I will become a part of your power and serve you to the best of my capabilities."
Sins Soul Weapon floated up to the Mystic Blade Spirit Emperor Puppet. A blackhole formed as the weapon engulfed the soul.
Sins weapon began a earth shattering change, its blade had grown 5 inches in length, 3 inches in thickness and gained 35 kilograms in weight.
The Soul Weapon had a golden red sheath, with the word "Emperor" engraved in it and blue white mystic energy fluctuating. The blade itself turned to the colour of a pale blue sky, and flowing white clouds.
Sin unsheathed his Soul Weapon, giving it a casual swing a spatial tear appeared in the Mystic Blade World. Sin was exhilarated, this was a Big Fucking Sword! As if a kid in a candy shop, Sin kept slashing, stabbing, piercing, swiping and so on with his upgraded Soul Weapon.
The best had yet to come, when Sin made a connection with his Soul Weapon. He felt the existence of Weapon Spirit residing within.
The Weapon Spirit looked at Sin with eyes full of gratitude.
"Father thank you for giving birth to me through your Sword Qi. Even when you had gained better quality weapons, you never abandoned me."
The spirit was a little boy adorned in a white blue robe, there was a Emperor symbol on his forehead. Within the symbol, Sin could see a legendary weapon in the middle of a battlefield with numerous corpses.
Sin smiled "Would you like a name son?"
The spirit looked at Sin puzzled, but nodded its head with hard to conceal excitement.
Sin ruffled the spirits hair out of habit, but realized his hand went through the spirit. Covering up his embarrassment, Sin decided on a 'good' name that even he was proud of.
"From today your name will be Kaiser! You will be the emperor or blades, every blade will heed your beck and call. No blade, or sentient blade will dare disservice it's emperor!"
Kaiser floated up in excitement and jubilation. "Thank you for the name father."
Sin summoned his Weapon Spirit outside of his upgraded Soul Weapon.
Counting the time left, there were still 22 hours of time left.
"Kaiser, are you ready to consolidate some enlightenment during our previous fight?"
"Yes father!" Kaisers eyes were full of excitement.
Sin unsheathed his Soul Weapon. With the added weight of the weapon, Sins body weight and momentum. This new unnamed technique will be many times stronger than It was beforehand.
Sin slashed down, a pillar of Sword Light formed tearing open the Mystic Blade World. Before slashing again, the world healed itself within seconds.
Sin rinsed and repeated the same process. While it may be boring, Sin was grasping his enlightenment not letting it go to waste. If he spoiled his chance, who knew when it would come next?
