Chapter 565: Chapter 565: The Final Battle (Part 2)
"Watch how I break you!"
Ling Chen sneered coldly as his left hand struck out towards the front as well.
Endless black Spiritual Power converged, together with the surging Spiritual Energy of nature around him, forming an even more terrifying Spiritual Power palm!
"Boom!"
The two Spiritual Power palms collided once more.
Space shook violently again.
"How is this possible?!"
Xia Biluo’s face showed utter disbelief.
He was at the third level of the Palace Mansion Realm, a full two levels higher than Ling Chen.
And yet, in a pure contest of Spiritual Power, Ling Chen was no weaker than him.
How could he not be shocked?
After all, Spiritual Power was what he relied upon.
It was precisely with Spiritual Power that he felt confident about killing Ling Chen!
Remember, Ling Chen had received the Emperor’s Inheritance; not to mention the Emperor Spiritual Weapon, it was very likely that he had refined a high-grade King Spiritual Weapon.
"Is Ling Chen truly a King at the first level of the Palace Mansion Realm?"
Many Cultivators at the ninth level of the Primordial Pill Realm were utterly shocked.
At their level, although they could not sense the true might of a King’s Spiritual Power in the Palace Mansion Realm,
whether Spirit Arts had been used was still something they could sense.
In these two exchanges, it was a clear competition of pure Spiritual Power!
Unbelievable that in the contest of Spiritual Power, Ling Chen was not to be outdone at all; how could they not feel their minds shaken?
Watching Xia Biluo’s incredulous expression, Ling Chen gave a cold laugh and said, "Xia Biluo, today you are bound to die without a doubt!"
"Is that so?"
Xia Biluo smiled ambiguously, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
In terms of Spiritual Power, he was almost on par with Ling Chen.
But daring to fight against Ling Chen naturally meant he had his trump cards!
Mere Spiritual Power was nothing to speak of!
What mattered were the other techniques.
Also, he had prepared his real trump card.
The news of their decisive battle had attracted millions of Cultivators to watch, it was not just about slaying Ling Chen in front of everyone!
He had other usages!
Once he used this actual trump card, he would definitely be able to kill Ling Chen!
"Your Spiritual Power isn’t bad, but how about your Sword Dao realm?"
Xia Biluo sneered coldly.
As his words fell, a stream of Sword Qi burst forth from the longsword in Xia Biluo’s right hand, furiously slicing towards Ling Chen.
Although it was just an ordinary Sword Qi launched with a lower-grade King Spiritual Weapon, without even using any Spirit Arts,
it was augmented with his comprehension of the Sword Dao.
"Lifting the light as though it’s heavy, huh?"
Ling Chen immediately sensed the terrifying nature of this Sword Qi.
It actually carried the second realm of the third level of sword intent!
His lips curled slightly as he channeled Spiritual Power into the black longsword in his right hand, releasing a terrifying Sword Qi as well.
"Lifting light as though it’s heavy!"
Ling Chen inwardly shouted, his comprehension of the Sword Dao realm also infused upon it.
Although he had only recently grasped the first level of sword intent, lifting the heavy as though it’s light,
during this period, he had been focusing solely on the Green Lotus Sword Manual.
As the cornerstone technique of one of the strongest forces in this world, the Green Lotus Ancient Clan, how could the Green Lotus Sword Manual be merely a Spirit Art?
It also contained supreme Secret Techniques that aided the Cultivation of the Sword Dao realm!
After over three months of Cultivation and his transcendent comprehension, Ling Chen had already made further progress in his realm of sword intent.
Reaching the state of lifting light as though it’s heavy, was not that shocking.
"Boom!"
The two Sword Qi clashed, once again ending in a stalemate.
"How is this possible?"
Xia Biluo’s expression turned ashen.
It was bad enough not having the advantage in Spiritual Power.
But not having the advantage in the Sword Dao realm was even harder for him to accept!
Since Ling Chen first demonstrated the Stellar Blade Realm, not much time had passed, yet Ling Chen had already reached a level comparable to his!
Anyone would find this hard to accept!
"This guy’s talent is truly monstrous! No wonder he could obtain the Emperor’s Inheritance!"
Ye Fentian stared at Ling Chen with eyes full of excitement.
Although he was older and had a higher level of cultivation than Ling Chen, his Sword Dao realm was only slightly higher.
And the more monstrous Ling Chen performed, it indicated the stronger the Emperor’s Inheritance the former had obtained.
This was exactly what he had hoped for!
"Has his Sword Dao realm actually reached such a level?"
Ji Wuya and Liu Qingcang exchanged glances, their eyes filled with intense shock.
Ling Chen had just advanced to the Palace Mansion Realm, yet his accomplishment in Sword Dao was already comparable to theirs!
This was simply inconceivable!
However, in the eyes of the crowd, this exchange was somewhat incomprehensible.
To them, it seemed to be just a measure of the power of both sides’ Spiritual Weapons.
As for the realm of Sword Dao, it was far too profound.
Even ninth-level Cultivators could not understand it.
Of course, this didn’t stop everyone from being fervently excited!
"What a terrifyingly perceptive fellow. If I let you grow any further, even I, the King, might not be able to handle you!"
A cold voice emanated from Xia Jiu You: "Then let me witness your King Spirit Technique!"
With that, his right hand held the Longsword horizontally in front of him.
Spiritual Power poured into it, and brilliant light burst forth!
"Nether Flame Diancang Slash!"
Xia Jiu You shouted, and a hundred-zhang long Sword Qi of Black Spiritual Power emerged.
The moment the Sword Qi appeared, the entire world suddenly became scorching hot.
Where the Sword Qi passed, space seemed to be burnt and started to distort.
"Die!"
With a flourish of the Longsword, the terrifying black Sword Qi blasted towards Ling Chen!
Watching this even more horrific attack, countless faces drastically changed color.
This Sword Qi was tens of times more terrifying than the previous ones!
Because what Xia Jiu You had cast was a lower-grade King Spirit Technique!
"With such power, you also fancy killing me?"
Ling Chen scoffed.
With a thought, a beam of Green Lotus Sword Qi howled out from the Sword Qi River in his Dantian.
Then it drilled into the black greatsword.
Subsequently, a Sword Qi only a few zhang long slammed towards the hundred-zhang Sword Qi!
The two Sword Qis were drastically different in size.
It seemed that Ling Chen was no match at all.
"Ling Chen, you haven’t used your King Spirit Technique, have you?"
"Not using King Spirit Technique and still daring to contend with King You?"
"Could it be that Ling Chen is seeking his own death?"
...
Everyone completely failed to understand Ling Chen’s thinking.
Logically, since the opponent had used King Spirit Technique, if Ling Chen didn’t do the same, wasn’t that courting death?
However, as the Green Lotus Sword Qi blasted forth, Xia Jiu You’s complexion became extremely grave.
In the Desolate Land, when Ling Chen fought with his son Xia Biluo, it seemed he had used this method.
At that time, being ten miles away, his perception wasn’t very clear.
But now, he perceived it with stark clarity.
Ling Chen’s Sword Qi was definitely of a King Spirit Technique level!
However, this kind of technique was unheard of to him.
"What kind of King Spirit Technique is this?"
Ye Fentian looked slightly stunned.
Clearly, Ling Chen’s method also exceeded his understanding.
Li Xuan stared intently at Ling Chen’s Sword Qi.
As a high-ranking King in the Palace Mansion Realm, his experience was even more extensive than Ye Fentian.
Yet, even he had never seen such a technique before.
Ling Chen’s Sword Qi was undoubtedly a King Spirit Technique.
However, forming King Spirit Technique within the body was completely unheard of.
After all, if such Sword Qi were stored within the body, not to mention the need for an adequately strong physical body.
The mere threat it posed to oneself was enough to deter anyone from trying.
If there truly existed a Spirit Art that allowed one to hide Sword Qi within their body, how mad would the creator of such an art be?
