Ling Tian Sword God

Just one move, and Shentu Yan was sent flying in defeat!

”How is that possible?”

Not far away, Yun Tianhe looked on in disbelief, hardly able to trust his eyes. Shentu Yan, who had reached the Eighth Layer of the Sky Apex Realm, had been defeated by Ling Chen. Ling Chen had just broken through to the Sky Apex Realm, yet Shentu Yan appeared completely outmatched.

”The situation is now settled!”

Seeing Shentu Yan defeated by Ling Chen’s single sword strike, experts from the Righteous and Devil Alliance such as Long Zaitian, Duan Qingxu, and Liu Xin finally relaxed. Their expressions showed they believed the situation was now under control.

At this moment, Ling Chen cut a solitary figure with his sword, exhibiting an unparalleled air. In comparison, Shentu Yan seemed completely vulnerable, barely worth mentioning.

”This is the power of the Four Saints Enlightenment. After this battle, Sect Leader Ling Chen’s name is bound to go down in history.”

The heads of powerful families such as the Ye Family and the Ye Family all brightened up, smiling.

Of course, Ling Chen did not hear their conversation. Instead, he continued his relentless attack on Shentu Yan, seeking to end the battle quickly.

”Exotic Demon Beast!”

Shentu Yan felt a tremor in his heart. He issued an explosive command to the Exotic Demon Beast behind him. With a thunderous roar, the beast launched towards Ling Chen, spewing out continuous black light pillars, trying to stop Ling Chen’s advance.

With the Red Sky Sword in his hand, Ling Chen didn’t slow down, rushing onward. Every time his sword was swung, the surrounding black light pillars shattered and disintegrated, utterly failing to hinder Ling Chen in the slightest.

WHOOSH!

With a flash, Ling Chen appeared before the Exotic Demon Beast, then fiercely swung out his sword, sending the beast’s massive body flying!

Now that Ling Chen’s Cultivation had advanced into the Sky Apex Realm, he could mobilize the Heavenly Earth Energy. This vast energy surrounded his body like a halo, fusing both offense and defense.

Furthermore, after advancing into the Sky Apex Realm, the True Qi Essence Pill in Ling Chen’s Dantian had shattered and transformed into a Spirit Sea. The continuous True Qi generated from this sea gave him inexhaustible strength.

Although Ling Chen was only at the Sky Apex Realm First Layer, his strength was not comparable to that of an ordinary Sky Apex Realm First Layer expert. The amount of True Qi his Dantian could hold was ten times that of a normal Sky Apex Realm First Layer expert, rendering them incomparable.

Therefore, although Ling Chen’s breakthrough took a long time, it was a tremendous growth, a qualitative change. The prolonged accumulation led to an explosive transformation. Now that he had succeeded, he was truly unbridled and unrivaled.

”Damn kid, today either you die or I perish!”

Shentu Yan’s expression was gloomy. He promptly manipulated True Qi, condensing hand signs. Vast black lightning rapidly condensed within his hand signs, quickly forming a peculiar Lightning Talisman. An extremely ruthless wave of Destruction spread out from the talisman.

With the transformation of Shentu Yan’s obscure hand signs, the dark clouds in the Sky suddenly started moving rapidly, gradually taking the shape of a funnel. At the narrow end of the funnel, countless streaks of lightning intertwined, their light exceptionally dazzling.

After executing this move, Shentu Yan’s body had noticeably shrunk, as if this move had consumed most of his strength, even leaving him overdrawn.

Upon witnessing this, the crowd’s expressions changed. A martial arts technique capable of invoking such a cosmic phenomenon was at least Holy Grade. Shentu Yan’s current move, in particular, gave everyone a dreadful feeling of impending Destruction, as if the apocalypse was at hand.

”Condense!”

With a stern shout, Shentu Yan clapped his hands together. The Lightning Talisman was filled with arcs of lightning, their shocking destructive power causing even the surrounding space to distort.

”Such a violent fluctuation.”

Lin Ya, Liu Feiyue, and the others looked intently at the Lightning Talisman forming in the Sky, their faces grave and their eyes filled with apprehension.

Xu Ruoyan’s pale blue eyes also subtly tightened at this moment. She lightly bit her lip; a hint of icy blue light seemed to flicker deep within her eyes.

This Shentu Yan, he was hiding such a trump card. Xia Yunxin focused on the scene in the sky, then hesitated. Should she lend a hand? Her injuries had recovered considerably. No doubt, Ling Chen was unstoppable with the advantage from the Four Saints Enlightenment. However, Shentu Yan was shrewd and cunning; he had an endless repertoire of techniques. Furthermore, Shentu Yan was now clearly resorting to his trump cards, putting Ling Chen in a precarious position.

”There’s no need, Sister Xia.”

However, just as Xia Yunxin was hesitating whether to help, Ling Yin, who was beside her, pulled at her sleeve. Ling Yin shook her head and smiled softly. She looked up, her incredibly beautiful face catching the reflected glow of the lightning. Within her eyes, a hint of a fervent color stirred.

”Brother Ling Chen could never lose.” The young girl shook her head, apparently unworried, and smiled brightly.

Hearing this, Xia Yunxin blinked, then slowly nodded. Looking at Ling Chen’s imperturbable face, she suddenly felt a sense of security.

Let’s leave everything else to Ling Chen.

「In mid-air.」

Shentu Yan, is this your final trump card...?

Under the many watchful gazes, Ling Chen’s figure seemed like a tiny boat in a violent storm, ready to capsize at any moment. His gaze was fixed on Shentu Yan, who held up his palm, grinning maliciously. Ling Chen sensed an extreme threat emanating from the Lightning Talisman.

”What’s the matter, Ling Chen? Are you scared?”

Shentu Yan grinned, a trace of mockery and madness flashing across his face.

”Scared? You’re giving yourself too much credit.”

Ling Chen scoffed and slowly raised his Red Sky Sword. Then, a complex, obscure flame light pattern started to snake around him.

The flame pattern moved incessantly, dividing and multiplying until it split into four. As the Red Sky Sword’s radiance bloomed, the phantoms of four Fire Dragons solidified. An indescribable wave stealthily dispersed from them.

As the Fire Dragons appeared, the Eight Wastes trembled.

”Only trifling tricks.”

Shentu Yan clenched his hand. The Lightning Talisman suddenly condensed, and waves of stunning fluctuations swept out. His gaze locked onto Ling Chen.

”Demon Emperor’s Thunder Seal, annihilate everything!”

A low roar came from Shentu Yan’s throat. His veins pulsated like a Curled Dragon, and in the next moment, with a whip of his arm and his body leaning forward, he thrust out violently.

The black Lightning Talisman shot out like a meteor, aiming straight for Ling Chen. The entire world seemed to shudder at this instance.

A terrifying pressure enveloped the hundred-meter radius around Ling Chen almost instantaneously. He heaved a deep breath, his eyes fiercely gleaming, and thrust forward with the Red Sky Sword in a flash.

”Red Sky Sword Technique, Eight Wastes Fire Dragon!”

A deep voice emitted from Ling Chen’s mouth. The next moment, the four Fire Dragons started to spin wildly in the opposite direction and, from four different sides, surged forward, rushing towards that volatile black Lightning Talisman.
