Ling Tian Sword God

”He actually accepted it,” Liu Feiyue murmured, finding it somewhat incredulous. Is this the same Ling Chen I knew?

Fang Baiyu shook his head. This title... I’m afraid he won’t be able to hold onto it. When I was titled the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, many people came to cause me trouble, challenging me. It’s even more so now that Ling Chen has openly proclaimed himself the Unbeatable Sword Sect; this is likely to attract the dissatisfaction of many long-standing masters. Although those people weren’t solely interested in fame and fortune, they also didn’t want to be overshadowed by a mere youngster.

The ”World Masters List” rankings weren’t entirely unrestricted; the age limit was sixty. Anyone over sixty was considered by Myriad Dao Sect to have exhausted their potential and was no longer eligible for the list. After all, they would likely be buried soon, with little hope of entering the Sky Apex Realm in their lifetime, let alone reaching a higher level.

All eyes were on Ling Chen, who was seated on the ground, recuperating. An intangible yet formidable power seemed to gather within him, exceptionally profound and mysterious.

”Dustless, you should retract the title of Unbeatable Sword Sect! You currently lack the strength to bear it.”

As Ling Chen finished recuperating, three figures darted out.

All three were elders.

The first, clad in a blue robe, exuded an icy aura and was known as the ”Ice Extermination Sect.”

The second, a Black-robed Swordsman with nimble footsteps and emanating Sword Intent, was known as the ”Phantom Sword Sect.”

The third, a saber user in a red robe, possessed a volatile, fiery aura like a volcano and was known as the ”Thunder Fire Blade Sect.”

Huyan Xiong’s expression turned grave. These three are not to be trifled with. They were top figures among the older generation of masters, and even he would hesitate to confront them directly.

Ling Chen, however, remained entirely unperturbed, calmly asking, ”And why shouldn’t I bear it?”

The Phantom Sword Sect drew his Long Sword and said, ”In that case, do you dare to exchange ten moves with each of us three old men? If you can hold your ground for ten moves against each of us, we will acknowledge you as the Unbeatable Sword Sect.”

With a ten-move limit for each, no one present would object. This wasn’t a friendly match but a test to verify if Ling Chen possessed the strength to bear the title of Sword Sect. If he truly possessed unbeatable strength, holding his own for ten moves would be perfectly normal.

”That won’t be necessary,” Ling Chen stated. ”All three of you can attack me at once. If I cannot defeat you within ten moves, I will relinquish the title of Unbeatable Sword Sect.”

His words instantly caused an uproar around Nine Dragons Lake.

Taking on all three at once? The crowd couldn’t believe what they were hearing.

However, from another perspective, this was indeed the demeanor befitting the Unbeatable Sword Sect—unrivaled in the world. In his eyes, any other master was but a fleeting cloud, mere dust.

”Arrogant!” the Thunder Fire Blade Sect roared, unleashing a blazing saber gleam that slashed towards Ling Chen.

”Thunder Fire Twenty-Eight Methods!”

”Phantom Sword Technique—Empty Slaughter!”

”Ice Termination Palm!”

The Phantom Sword Sect and Ice Extermination Sect simultaneously launched their ultimate techniques.

Ling Chen moved like a streak of sword light, weaving through the crisscrossing torrents of Air Energy. With a flash of his sword, all attacks missed, failing even to touch his Protective True Qi.

”First move!” Ling Chen declared. His initial target was the nearest Thunder Fire Blade Sect. With a flick of his wrist, a gentle sword wind was about to envelop his opponent.

”Get back!” the Ice Extermination Sect shouted, rushing forward. He struck out with a palm, immense Palm Power transforming into ice pillars that surged forth. If Ling Chen didn’t retreat, even if he defeated the Thunder Fire Blade Sect, he would have to endure this palm strike, inevitably putting him at a disadvantage.

Facing three opponents at once was no easy feat, and maintaining the upper hand was even harder. Three attackers meant three simultaneous assaults. If he were hit even once, he would be at a disadvantage. This was unlike a Life and Death duel; fairness didn’t enter into it.

However, the Ice Extermination Sect had clearly underestimated Ling Chen.

Retracting his Long Sword, Ling Chen leaped backward. In mid-air, his sword blazed with scorching Flames, coalescing into a fireball that shot out like a meteor.

”Damn it!” Both the Thunder Fire Blade Sect and the Ice Extermination Sect hastily retreated, unleashing their own killing techniques against the flaming fireball.

BOOM!

A massive shockwave of flame radiated outward, sending both the Thunder Fire Blade Sect and the Ice Extermination Sect flying backward, vomiting mouthfuls of blood.

”Phantom Unmatched Sword!”

At that moment, the Phantom Sword Sect, moving like a silent shadow, suddenly attacked. A dozen intangible sword qi lances shot towards Ling Chen.

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!

Ling Chen had already anticipated the Phantom Sword Sect’s attack. In an instant, he swung his sword over a dozen times. Streaks of Dragon Shadow sword qi fanned out, annihilating the Phantom Sword Sect’s sword qi and enveloping him.

THWACK!

The Phantom Sword Sect was also sent flying.

Three sword moves—one feint and two real—and three veteran masters were successively defeated.

The Phantom Sword Sect roared, ”Damn it! Let’s use our ultimate techniques together!”

”Phantom Unmatched Sword!” He charged forward once more, channeling his remaining power into a terrifying killing technique. He seemed to Transform into a shadowy Assassin, creating three phantoms to assassinate Ling Chen.

”Blade Breaks Rivers and Mountains!”

”Ice Dome Finger!”

The Thunder Fire Blade Sect and the Ice Extermination Sect bellowed in unison, one unleashing fire, the other ice, blanketing Ling Chen in a maelstrom of elemental power.

The three deadly techniques arrived simultaneously.

The watching younger generation had already turned pale.

Yun Qinghong’s face was somewhat pale. He can’t block that! The combined assault of the three veteran masters seemed to push the very limits of a Grand Master. Even a First Heaven Sky Apex Strong would be instantly killed by it.

Huyan Xiong narrowed his eyes. It’s over! He conceded that Ling Chen was doomed. It seemed, after all, that no one could truly claim the title of Unbeatable Sword Sect.

Yet, facing this onslaught, Ling Chen’s expression remained serene. He seemed immersed in a wondrous state of insight, only opening his eyes the moment the attacks bore down on him.

Instantly, an invincible aura erupted from within him.

”I am the Sword Sect, invincible under the heavens!” Ling Chen roared, plunging his Red Sky Sword into the water beneath his feet. An overwhelmingly terrifying, invincible aura erupted, instantly stirring monstrous waves in the center of Nine Dragons Lake.

A massive vortex suddenly formed at the heart of the lake.

CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!

All three attacks were utterly pulverized, and the three veteran masters were sent flying backward one after another.

Retreating several hundred meters, his face pale with disbelief, the Thunder Fire Blade Sect exclaimed, ”It’s the dominant aura! He has already manifested the dominant aura of the world’s number one master! The three of us combined couldn’t block a single move from him. He moved as if unopposed! If it were one-on-one, even if our individual strengths were doubled, we would only be instantly killed, with no other hope!”

The Phantom Sword Sect said with a bitter expression, ”It’s not just the dominant aura, but the true essence of invincibility. From him, I genuinely sense an invincible aura.”

Declaring oneself ’Invincible’ isn’t difficult; the true challenge lies in genuinely making others feel that sense of invincibility.

Ling Chen had long comprehended the concept of invincibility, imparted to him by the Invincible Demon Lord. However, only after receiving the title of Unbeatable Sword Sect, and being catalyzed by that intangible, dominant aura, did he truly master its essence.
