Ling Tian Sword God

The difference between a Half-Saint and a strong realm in the Sky Apex Realm lies in that the former has already condensed a half-step Saint Body, and once the Saint Body achieves Great Accomplishment, they can become a true Saint, transcending the ordinary and becoming invincible.

However, even if it’s just a half-step Saint Body, it is still a Saint Body, while the strong in the Sky Apex Realm are ultimately just mortal bodies, a tier lower. Hence, the gap between a Half-Saint and a Nine-fold Strong in the Sky Apex Realm is significant; a Junior semi-saint can easily overpower two Nine-fold Strong in the Sky Apex Realm.

Of course, this is under normal circumstances, excluding exceptional talents.

The Heaven Cloud Half-Saint looked at Ling Chen across from him, without a hint of carelessness. From Ling Hai and Ling Feng’s accounts, he already knew Ling Chen’s achievements over the past half month. If he underestimated Ling Chen because of his age and cultivation, he would undoubtedly suffer greatly.

Swoosh!

Sword Momentum merged into the Meteor Sword in his hand, the Heaven Cloud Half-Saint figured—a flash, choosing to engage Ling Chen in close combat, the ferocious Sword Light, incomparably powerful.

Clang!

Ling Chen turned his sword, countered with the Red Sky Sword.

”Speed Sword Domain!”

As Ling Chen struck, he left a heavy trail of sword shadows. The Speed Sword Domain, now revealed, produced four more sword shadows than before, all thanks to the Sword Spirit Qi within Ling Chen. Several sword shadows appeared, flickered through the Void, slicing space.

Clang!

Though the Heaven Cloud Half-Saint was as fast as lightning, he was ultimately not faster than Ling Chen’s reflexes. Before approaching within three feet, he was forced to clash with the Speed Sword Domain, the Heaven Cloud Half-Saint’s Palm Power instantly shattered, but his Sword Energy flowed continuously. Even if the Sword Light shattered, subsequent Sword Energy replenished, colliding with Ling Chen’s multitude of sword shadows, erupting in thousands of energy sparks, the dazzling shockwave resembling a Star River across the Sky, brilliantly luminous.

”Sword Explosion Star River!”

Retreating three steps, the Heaven Cloud Half-Saint drew his sword again. Under his full exertion, the Meteor Sword shone with extremely radiant starlight, a stream of light like a living entity flashed, and the next moment, he slashed out a Star River, surging forth.

”Go back!”

Ling Chen took a deep breath, expertly pushing Sword Intent to its peak. At the same time, the Red Sky Sword ejected light, unleashing continuous power, causing his position to suddenly darken. He seemed transformed into a Divine Sword, embedded in the sea, leaving a rapidly spinning vortex around, like a black hole.

Sizz!

An electric flash cut through, a sudden red Sword Light slashed against the Heaven Cloud Half-Saint’s Sword Light, the sharp air eddy cutting off a strand of hair from his forehead.

Neither retreated half a step, pressed against each other, creating purple-black lightning in the Void, a powerful electromagnetic current from concentrated Energy friction.

”Envoy Ling Yu can actually fight the Heaven Cloud Half-Saint so evenly.” Not far away, a beautiful woman and Kong Xuan voiced in surprise.

They didn’t anticipate Ling Chen’s power had reached this level. No wonder he was always calm along the way, without any tension—it’s known that the Heaven Cloud Half-Saint is one of the top experts among the Allied Forces on Qinglong Island, a typical Junior semi-saint, but impossible to challenge the Heaven Cloud Half-Saint.

Yet unexpectedly, Ling Chen could battle the Heaven Cloud Half-Saint to such an extent.

”This kid, was he hiding his strength when fighting me?”

Ling Hai’s face also showed unease. With his strength, facing a strong figure like the Heaven Cloud Half-Saint, he had no chance of victory. He always believed Ling Chen’s power was just a bit stronger than his, with an insignificant gap. But now it seemed otherwise. The Treasure Sword in Ling Chen’s hand was previously unseen; could it be bestowed by the Family Head?

”If this kid doesn’t die soon, it might be us facing death later.”

Ling Feng also spoke coldly.

”No need to worry, if the Heaven Cloud Half-Saint truly uses all his strength, Ling Yu is certainly doomed!”

Ling Hai squinted his eyes, a flash of cold light emanating, said.

”Boy, die!”

The Meteor Sword and the Red Sky Sword locked together, the Heaven Cloud Half-Saint’s muscles bulged, his left fist carrying tremendous force, pounding on the blade of Ling Chen’s Red Sky Sword, Air Energy bursting forth.

Bam!

With a violent sound, Ling Chen’s body suddenly recoiled a hundred meters, marking a sixty-meter-high wave beneath him.

”Ling Yu, you performed well, blocking so many of my moves.”

The Heaven Cloud Half-Saint didn’t pause, immediately infused vast True Qi into the Meteor Sword. He appeared akin to a dormant volcano about to erupt, ready to spew accumulated energy from millennia, destroying and rending everything obstructing him.

”But next, you won’t have such luck.”

His eyes sharply focused into actuality, the Heaven Cloud Half-Saint suddenly swung the Treasure Sword. In that instant, the sea surface before him crazily diverted, cracked open, materializing a huge meteor phantom, which violently shot forth, leaving a broad trajectory in the Void, forcefully blasting at Ling Chen.

Within the meteor, it clearly absorbed the Meteor Sword’s Sword Spirit Power, granting such astonishing power.

Facing such an onslaught, Ling Chen remained composed, until the meteor phantom fiercely strafed before him, whereupon he raised the Red Sky Sword. A fiery pattern shot from the sword at a speed beyond the naked eye, finally transforming into a dozens-of-yards-long Fire Dragon at the sword tip, fiercely sweeping out!

”What a powerful sword!”

Ling Xue on the deck, witnessing the surging Fire Dragon, showed shock on her face. As soon as the Fire Dragon Sword Qi appeared, her Snow Spirit Sword trembled slightly—a wave from its Sword Spirit reverberated.

The Fire Dragon before her might just be the Sword Spirit of the Treasure Sword in Ling Chen’s hand.

Boom!

Both attacks collided, the entire sea area overturned, water raging madly, forming a huge crater.

Crack, crack, crack...

The attack exploded, the crater extending to several miles in radius, furiously shooting outward, like an unavoidable apocalypse.

As energy burst forth, both figures shot back several hundred meters, finally stopping.

Bang bang bang!

But in merely an instant, the Heaven Cloud Half-Saint tread on the sea again charging towards Ling Chen, his body infinitely enlarging, behind him momentum forming into a giant, the giant wielding a Giant Sword aimed at Ling Chen, such unmatched ferocity seemingly about to slash Ling Chen into pulp.

Observing this, Ling Chen remained in place, showing no intent to dodge, merely watching the Red Sky Sword flash lightning, a sword containing endless sharpness, immediately cut out.

In this moment, the Sword Spirit Power from the Red Sky Sword fully integrated into the Sword Light, rapidly expanding, slicing the Void.
