Immortal Sword Master

Chapter 396: Chapter 392: Extreme Heaven Monarch’s Trump Card, Magical Power

A brilliant light filled the entire sky. The splendor of that sword strike was beyond words. The sun and moon paled in its presence. It was as if this one strike was all that existed in the world.

It was an unavoidable strike.

”Block it.”

Extreme Heaven Monarch’s expression changed drastically. For the first time, he felt a genuine threat.

BOOM.

A powerful aura erupted from his body as he unleashed terrifying power. A tide of energy seemed to sweep through the void.

SLICE.

However, his attack was sliced clean in two by the sword.

The Sword Aura’s momentum was unabated. It pressed down, engulfing his body.

Before the stunned gazes of countless onlookers, Extreme Heaven Monarch’s body plummeted like a meteorite, smashed into the earth by the sword’s power.

BOOM.

A massive crater thousands of feet deep was smashed into the ground.

”My heavens, is Extreme Heaven Monarch actually being suppressed?”

No one could believe it. A moment ago, Extreme Heaven Monarch had stomped Ning Jiang into the ground, and everyone had assumed Ning Jiang was defeated, with no hope of victory.

But now, the tables had turned completely. Ning Jiang had unleashed three consecutive strikes, each more ferocious than the last, and the power of the third had blasted Extreme Heaven Monarch into the earth instead.

”What a powerful Sword Technique.”

Some of the more skilled Sword Cultivators in the crowd exclaimed in shock. They could see that the Sword Technique Ning Jiang was using now was on a completely different level from what he had used before. The disparity was simply too vast.

”Ning Jiang, you deserve to die!”

A world-shaking roar suddenly erupted from the earth, a sound filled with incomparable fury.

Extreme Heaven Monarch shot into the sky. On his Profound Gold Battle Armor, a deep gash had appeared on the chest plate. If not for this Battle Armor, even with his power, he would have been injured by that strike.

This filled him with a mixture of shock and rage.

’How many years has it been since I’ve been at such a disadvantage?’

He had always been known as the strongest person below the Celestial Martial Realm. Across the Six Eastern Provinces, aside from the lofty figures of the Celestial Martial Realm, there was no one he considered worthy of his attention.

But now, he was being suppressed by a mere youth. How could he not be furious?

”Second strike!”

Ning Jiang’s expression was devoid of joy or sorrow. He took a step forward and slashed out once more.

A sword strike that could suppress the sun and moon—the might of this attack was simply too terrifying.

The sky was filled with brilliant sword light. When the strike descended, despite Extreme Heaven Monarch’s all-out attempt to block it, he was still blasted into the earth by the immense power of the sword.

BOOM.

Once again, a deep crater was smashed into the ground.

”I’ll kill you.”

Extreme Heaven Monarch roared, but just as he shot into the sky, he was met by another of Ning Jiang’s sword strikes.

He had ascended quickly, but he descended even faster, driven back into the ground by Ning Jiang’s sword.

The ground quaked violently, fissures spreading in all directions as dust and smoke billowed into the air.

”How many of my strikes can you take?”

Ning Jiang’s gaze was indifferent, like that of an ancient deity, as heaven-piercing sword might emanated from his Demon Slaying Sword.

The Divine Sword Technique was, after all, an Earth Level Top Grade Martial Technique. In terms of power, it far surpassed the Myriad Swords Technique. Of course, with every strike he unleashed, the power accumulated within the Demon Slaying Sword diminished.

”Is Extreme Heaven Monarch going to be defeated?”

At this moment, a deathly silence fell over the Extreme Heaven Sect.

In the sky, Ning Jiang stood with white clothes and white hair, sword in hand. He was like an invincible Sword God; every time his sword fell, he would smash Extreme Heaven Monarch into the ground.

Extreme Heaven Monarch roared, continuously surging up only to be beaten back into the earth again and again.

The ground was now pockmarked with enormous craters. The Extreme Heaven Sect was in ruins, a scene of devastation and rubble. Whenever he fell, some disciples were not fast enough to escape and were caught in the shockwave, instantly vaporized into a mist of blood.

After more than ten strikes, cracks began to spiderweb across his Profound Gold Battle Armor.

The Battle Armor had withstood numerous attacks and was reaching its limit.

”I can’t believe it. Extreme Heaven Monarch is actually at a disadvantage.”

This scene made countless people feel as if they were dreaming. How strong was Extreme Heaven Monarch? He was the strongest person below the rank of King. If they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, who would have believed that someone as powerful as him could be getting beaten down by a young man?

”How could this be happening?”

Feng Sisi and the others turned pale.

As for the numerous disciples of the Extreme Heaven Sect, they found the situation even harder to accept.

After being smashed into the ground yet again, Extreme Heaven Monarch’s fury reached its peak.

ROAR!

Enraged, Extreme Heaven Monarch let out a long cry, ”Ning Jiang, you have successfully angered me! I will show you my true power.”

His Profound Gold Battle Armor suddenly erupted with an incomparably brilliant divine radiance.

Plumes of Blood Qi shot toward the heavens like smoke signals.

An even more terrifying power than before instantly burst forth from his body.

A boundless pressure descended from above.

This time, even the three True Monarchs of the Heaven-Reaching Realm felt their hearts pound in fear.

With every step Extreme Heaven Monarch took, his aura surged exponentially.

THUD, THUD, THUD...

After nine consecutive steps, it was as if Extreme Heaven Monarch had broken some invisible shackles. His aura soared endlessly, seeming to reach the very heavens. Throughout the sky, countless streams of Spiritual Qi began to churn, converging around him to form a heaven-piercing tornado.

His great sleeves billowed in the howling wind, and his eyes were like those of a god looking down upon the world.

As Extreme Heaven Monarch stood there, it seemed as if the world itself was beneath his feet. All the Martial Artists present felt a sense of rejection, as if they were being expelled from the world itself. The sensation was so unbearable it made them want to vomit blood.

At that moment, everyone had the illusion that Extreme Heaven Monarch *was* the heavens!

He was the lord of this world. His every movement, his every breath, carried the rolling might of the heavens.

”What is this?”

The three True Monarchs and the others stared wide-eyed, as if witnessing something unbelievable.

”Magical Power? This is Magical Power! Has the Sect Leader finally taken that step?”

The three exclaimed, their minds reeling in shock.

At this moment, the power emanating from Extreme Heaven Monarch was completely different from before. His previous power, while strong, was ultimately still within the confines of the Heaven-Reaching Realm.

Now, however, the fluctuations of energy from his body had clearly far surpassed the Heaven-Reaching Realm!

”Ning Jiang, you shouldn’t have forced my hand. Now, only your blood can wash away my fury.”

Extreme Heaven Monarch’s voice seemed to drift down from the clouds, devoid of all emotion.

With every word he spoke, his aura continued to skyrocket. A gigantic funnel of Spiritual Qi formed above his head, drawing in an endless, surging tide of Spiritual Qi from all directions. He seemed like a Divine Spirit in command of the world.

The Extreme Heaven Monarch of this moment was more than ten times stronger than before.

”To think you’ve already condensed some Magical Power within your body.” Ning Jiang’s brow furrowed slightly.

What was Magical Power?

In the Realms below the Celestial Martial Realm, all power was Spiritual Power, absorbed from the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

But the Celestial Martial Realm was different. Cultivators of this realm grasped the Power of Laws, and the power within their bodies was Magical Power.

Magical Power was far stronger than Spiritual Power. This was why those in the Celestial Martial Realm could be called Kings, reigning from on high with a lifespan of ten thousand years.

However, Magical Power was not easily obtained. For Extreme Heaven Monarch to have condensed this amount of Magical Power, it must have taken him at least several decades, if not a century, of arduous cultivation. It was clear that Ning Jiang had pushed him to a point where he had no choice but to use it.

”So what if it’s Magical Power? I will still defeat you.”

Ning Jiang was completely unafraid, the will to fight in his eyes as vast as the sea.
