Martial Saint through Reading

Xing Man felt that her master’s displayed strength surpassed even Han Court, the strongest in the Seven-Star Kingdom, who is at the Middle Stage of the Returning to the Origin Realm.

Han Court could break through the seventh Sword Tomb, and for her master, the first six Sword Tombs would probably pose no difficulty.

Rumble rumble rumble—

Several waves of Cyan Fire Sword Qi appeared in succession, and without exception, all became materials for Chu Ming’s Seven-Star Divine Sword.

Until he stepped out of the area filled with fiery red Sword Qi, where the entrance to the Fifth Sword Tomb appeared ahead.

Xing Man gazed at the Sword Tomb, a solemn expression on her face.

The Fifth Sword Tomb, she could only venture to its outskirts.

However, the solemn expression quickly faded, and she followed the young man in black into it.

The Fifth Sword Tomb of the Seven-Star Tombs, the Phecda Sword Tomb, appeared as a world of azure ocean, without the terrifying Sword Qi of the previous tomb, nor the Sword Cliff of the third tomb, and no Sword Puppet or Sword Wood.

The light blue seawater gently rippled with waves, calm and serene, even more peaceful than a real ocean.

But Xing Man was well aware that the seemingly calm surface was actually tumultuous, and as soon as one entered the azure area, the previously peaceful seawater would envelop the intruder, forming a Sword Intent Space filled with Sword Qi, sufficient to severely injure someone at her level in the Returning to the Origin Realm!

Xing Man looked at the young man in black, her eyes complex, yet she said nothing more.

Chu Ming had long understood the unique nature of this Sword Tomb and was standing on the Elemental Shield Shuttle, flying upwards.

Whoosh!

A silver stream of light plunged into the ocean of swords.

Then.

Rumble rumble rumble—

One by one, the Sword Spaces formed by condensed seawater gathered and shattered instantly.

It seemed that they were not intimidating Sword Spaces but merely bubbles that collapsed upon touch.

”Don’t stand there dazed.”

An icy voice pierced through the ocean of swords, and Xing Man’s eyes suddenly reflected light, yet she did not follow.

”Master, for every additional person in the ocean of swords, those Sword Qi...”

”Follow!”

Before Xing Man could finish speaking, Chu Ming directly issued the order.

Xing Man hesitated internally, but a deep-seated obedience compelled her to take a step forward.

And at the moment she stepped into the ocean of swords, a gigantic wave surged from the ocean, hidden within it countless Sword Qi.

In the Fifth Sword Tomb, the ocean of swords, with each additional person, the number and power of Sword Qi increase by five to six times.

The terror of the ocean of swords, with both entering, extended to the Sixth Sword Tomb.

This is why the strongest in the Seven-Star Kingdom, Han Court, managed to break through to the seventh Sword Tomb while Xing Man still remained at the fifth.

Moreover, the main reason for challenging the Sword Tombs was for Sword Intent and Sword Fragments; apart from the Sword Spirit in the Sword Abyss at the heart of the tomb, the Fifth Sword Tomb was sufficient for Xing Man to enhance her Seven-Star Divine Sword, with no need to risk going deeper.

But the two of them were different; Chu Ming had brought Xing Man for a reason.

That Han Court was already a strong figure at the Middle Stage of the Seventh Realm Returning to the Origin Realm, possessing a Seven-Star Divine Sword that barely reached the level of a second-class Innate Spiritual Treasure. If he were to obtain the Sword Spirit from the Sword Abyss, how strong would he become?

To be on the safe side, he planned for Xing Man to get close to Han Court and look for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

The terrifying wave of swords swept in, and Xing Man’s heart trembled, fully activating the Seven-Star Sword Technique to block it.

Compared to Xing Man’s panic, Chu Ming merely glanced at the wave of swords as the Seven-Star Divine Sword pointed, and in Xing Man’s fearful eyes, it countered toward the wave.

In an instant, the two were like small fishermen raising harpoons, resisting the stormy sea, at least that’s how Xing Man saw it.

Yet the next moment, she saw the Seven-Star Divine Sword in the dark figure’s hand suddenly swell to a size of dozens of meters, engulfing endless power, seemingly splitting the wave of swords as it descended.

Boom—

Accompanied by a deafening roar, the wave of swords collapsed, the water cascading down like a torrential downpour.

For the first time, Xing Man truly felt that the azure seawater of the Fifth Sword Tomb was indeed water, not Sword Intent.

And as she looked at the dark figure... her heart, which had yet to calm, raced once more.

After one wave, an even more terrifying wave of swords stirred with the might of heaven and earth, crashing towards the young man in black.

At this moment, Chu Ming’s eyes flickered, a faint smile tugged at his lips.

The sword pointed, slashing out, enveloping two great True Intents of Destruction and Silent Extinction!

He intended to use the wave of swords from this Sword Tomb to refine the fusion of true intent into the Seven-Star Sword Technique Divine Techniques.

Executing the Sword Technique with true intent versus integrating true intent into the Sword Technique are two levels of power.

Just like in Sword Technique, true intent could be added to a blade artifact, but it is only the most basic application of true intent.

Hence, he created the True Intent Divine Technique; Space Splitting Annihilation!

Similarly, Swordsmanship should not just apply true intent to the Seven-Star Divine Sword.

Based on the Seven-Star Sword Technique, integrating the two great true intents of Destruction and Silent Extinction could further enhance the Seven-Star Sword Technique.

Boom—

One sword wave collapsed, two sword waves toppled, three sword waves crumbled...

Chu Ming did not pause, striking repeatedly, each wave more terrifying than the last.

Until the sixteenth sword, the Sword Tomb seems to have gathered the entirety of the ocean’s water to form the wave of swords, and only then did Chu Ming show a hint of gravity.

This sword, if it fails to integrate true intent into the Sword Technique, he could only resort to using a Defensive Treasure for escape; merely relying on the Seven-Star Divine Sword would not withstand the hundred-meter-high wave of swords.

He summoned the Mutated Black Flame-level Celestial Cyan Lock Chain that had already recovered, and instantly activated the [Book and Painting Realm], then pointed his sword forward.

Behind him, Xing Man’s face was pale, staring at the wave of swords that covered the sky of the Sword Tomb, her soul trembling.

The terror of this wave exceeded even the Evil Waves of places in the Ghostly Sea’s deadly realms.

Is the master mad?
