After storing his blade, Levi brought up the proficiency interface. On it, the symbols denoting the three pinnacle battle arts started to break apart and fuse together into a unified form.

Ultimate Sword Scripture: Level 10 (1/200,000), Special Effect: Sword Tao Divine Seed, Hundred Extreme Swordsmanship, Hundred Fierce Martial Arts...
[Sword Tao Divine Seed:
The pinnacle sword art enables connection with the True God. Implant the sword essence inside, surpassing mere soldier species, forming the sacred sword seed. Everything short of level-10 counts as basic sword arts. Mastering any sword technique becomes effortless at a single look.
Triggering the divine seed provides a lasting enhancement to attributes. Various seeds emphasize different aspects; they are forged from a swordsman's life lessons, wisdom, and insights, and can pass from one existence to another across reincarnations.
Seeds may also transfer to different individuals, alongside divine longsword weapons or ultimate treasure blades.
When transferred, the seed vanishes from the giver. The receiver acquires the full sword art understanding embedded in the seed.
To utilize the seed demands adequate power and bodily traits; the Art of War pairs with the Path of Body, neither able to stand alone.]
"As expected, battle arts can climb to level-10, yet until now, no prodigy has arisen to smash the chains of these arts... Though I'm no prodigy myself, the proficiency panel stands as my aid from outside, letting me surpass such limits."Levi exited the Darkness and made his way back to Red Emperor Heaven.
One month passed.
A wanderer across multiple dimensions arrived in Nora for shelter, crossing the Land of Darkness, where he spotted a Red Gold River stretching sixty thousand miles.
This river lacked shape and substance, endlessly shifting from destruction to renewal, appearing vital like a living entity, while serving as an immense barrier across the shadows.
Across from the Red Gold River lay Nora's opposing side, featuring a vibrant, brilliant, and unreachable million-mile Sun that poured out warmth and illumination.
Everyone recognized it as Edmund’s handiwork, [Nora’s Sun], the guiding beacon through the Darkness, a famous marvel and landmark.
However, nobody knew the source behind this fresh Red Gold River.
Astonished, the wanderers headed back to Nora.
Word of this amazing sight spread from mouth to mouth. Numerous powerful beings journeyed to the Land of Darkness to witness it. Not one among them could hide their wonder at such immense might, beyond all conception.
On that day.
The Thousand-Eyed Swordsman showed up along the river's border.
"Could this be... the Sword Qi River? Is it the Star Sky Sword Saint? No, impossible; it must be the Dusk Palace Master who shattered the bonds of battle arts?"
The Thousand-Eyed Swordsman rushed back to the Ancient Dragon Continent to confirm this with Levi. True enough, that Red Gold River stemmed from Levi’s sword training.
The Thousand-Eyed Swordsman felt his heart shake, and he quickly offered congratulations:
"Well done, my friend; you've stepped into an unmatched pinnacle of sword arts unseen before... Come on, share how you achieved it, hehe."
Levi shared freely, passing on the insights from "Ultimate Sword Scripture" to the Thousand-Eyed Swordsman. Staring at the Red Gold River, he murmured:
"This Sword Qi River holds countless of my realizations. Given your gift in sword arts, pondering it often will surely bring breakthroughs and snap those chains."
Soon after.
Rumors flooded the lands that the Dusk Palace Master had unleashed sixty thousand miles of everlasting, immortal Sword Qi into the Darkness, rousing every creature.
The sheer force, the vast reach, the endless persistence.
No one could grasp the power fueling that strike; it might even match Lord Emmon’s Eternal Blazing Sun... and the Dusk Palace Master sat only at level-10.
By the Sword Qi River.
The six Barbarian Lords along with Heavenly Will showed up, scrutinizing it intently.
Heavenly Will gave a wry smile and remarked:
"Impressive, what a splendid blade strike. I figured it resembled the Evolution Stone Plate that bound us body and battle art cultivators... Never imagined it boiled down to not grasping enough to reach level-10 arts."
Among the Six Barbarian Lords, the Dragon God Barbarian Lord also handled a sword and had formed several soldier species. It locked eyes on the river, deeply absorbing the insights.
"That strike, I'm afraid it'd demand ten thousand years for me to grasp."
The remaining Barbarian Lords looked stunned.
"Is the divide really that huge?"
The Dragon God Barbarian Lord affirmed with a nod, letting out a sigh:
"Even among level-10, a vast gulf exists."
Heavenly Will added:
"Don't lose heart; just give it your all. Though it's Sword Qi, the sword will and understandings inside aid other arms as well, so seize this moment to meditate deeply."
...
Void Holy Temple.
The Star Sky Sword Saint soaked in a tub filled with precious healing elixir, viewing the projected astonishing display with a face full of satisfaction.
"No point in a fight; he's already triumphed."
"Sword Qi that endures forever without fading—this is the ultimate sword way I've chased."
If distance and the pressing war hadn't intervened, it would rush to Nora right away to see firsthand those sixty thousand miles of Sword Qi, to marvel at the brand-new wonder of the cosmos.
On the throne.
Hera observed the Sword Qi, sensing her own sword arts fell short of the Star Sky Sword Saint's, yet having formed soldier species herself, she spotted the remarkable nature of that strike.
"With Emmon and Levi, Nora is truly fortunate."
...
Red Plane.
The Fire Sovereign cheered with claps, prancing about excitedly.
"Though I'm dubbed the First Sword God, my way relies on raw power smashing all arts; in pure sword mastery, you outshine me by far... So, you deserve the title of First Sword God; I'll settle as the Multidimensional Plane’s Second Sword God."
It relished the role of eternal runner-up.
...
Ten Thousand Mountain Range.
Fresh from a brutal clash with the Insect Queen, the gravely injured Amethyst Saint dragged itself to the Divine Kingdom and slumped on the throne, too drained to budge.
"Curse it, who'd have guessed the mighty astral realm would suffer so at the bugs' hands, failing to wipe them out for ages, only letting them swell in might. If I'd foreseen this, I would've backed them sooner... Alas."
Regret consumed the Amethyst Saint's thoughts, nothing but regret.
