Immortal Sword Master

Chapter 395: Chapter 391: Earth Level Martial Technique, Divine Sword Technique

As this sword strike erupted, everyone’s perception twisted, as if heaven and earth had been inverted. The attack warped their very senses; it was utterly terrifying.

”Good. Very good. This strike is actually worthy of my full power.”

The Extreme Heaven Monarch’s eyes grew cold. Up to this point, he had only been using seventy percent of his strength.

His words sent a shockwave through the crowd. The vast, terrifying might he had displayed with every move—that *still* wasn’t the Extreme Heaven Monarch’s full power?

”Heaven-Shattering Fist!”

He roared, his aura surging. A power far more terrifying than before erupted from within him, completely unrestrained.

As he threw the punch, crackling lightning materialized from the void. It was as if this single strike made heaven and earth themselves recoil in terror.

BOOM.

The fist and the sword clashed violently.

Instantly, a blinding light flared, and terrifying shockwaves rippled out in every direction.

The few palaces closest to them—the three belonging to the other True Monarchs—crumbled bit by bit into dust under the force of the blast.

The Extreme Heaven Monarch’s own palace was also struck by the impact, shaking violently as numerous cracks spread across its structure.

The very earth trembled and tore open under the terrifying collision, forming deep fissures. If the three at the Heaven-Reaching Realm and the many at the Earth Martial Realm hadn’t worked together to block the aftershocks, countless people would have died.

*Gasp...*

When the chaos subsided, all eyes stared in absolute horror at the two figures in the sky.

”Ning Jiang, is that all you have? Now, you can try taking one of my attacks.”

With a grim expression, the Extreme Heaven Monarch took a single step, appearing directly above Ning Jiang before stomping down forcefully.

His foot, encased in the Profound Iron Armor, descended like a god’s. An immense amount of Spiritual Qi condensed in the void, forming a massive, intangible Divine Foot.

BANG!

Before the Divine Foot even landed,

the ground in a hundred-yard radius caved in on its own, forming a massive footprint.

”Slash!”

Ning Jiang’s long hair whipped about as he gripped the Demon Slaying Sword firmly with both hands and slashed out once more.

Sword Reversing Heaven and Earth! The brilliant Sword Aura looked as if it could invert the very world.

”Insignificant tricks.”

The Extreme Heaven Monarch sneered in disdain as the Divine Foot grew even more brilliant, its profound light intensifying.

DONG!

The golden Divine Foot stomped upon the Sword Aura, producing a sharp cracking sound. Faced with this irresistible power, the Sword Aura shattered piece by piece.

Under the immense pressure, Ning Jiang himself was sent plummeting downward.

BANG.

A crater several hundred yards wide was blasted into the ground.

*Gasp.*

Countless people in the crowd drew a sharp breath.

Ning Jiang was using a King’s Weapon, and his attacks were incredibly fierce, but he was still at a disadvantage against the Extreme Heaven Monarch. Seeing this, even Liu Xianyu’s expression turned grave.

”The Extreme Heaven Monarch is too powerful. He truly deserves his reputation as the strongest man beneath the King Realm.”

”I’d say the Extreme Heaven Monarch’s Cultivation is not far from that of a true King.”

”Perhaps in a few decades, the Extreme Heaven Monarch will take that all-important step into the King’s Domain. After that, the Six Eastern Provinces will have another Super Sect.”

SWOOSH.

A streak of light shot up from the ground, rising into the sky and revealing Ning Jiang’s figure once more.

Despite being blasted into the ground, he appeared to have no injuries.

’He’s much stronger than an ordinary Supreme Celestial Rank powerhouse. With this level of strength, he could already be called a Quasi-King,’ Ning Jiang murmured softly.

The Supreme Celestial Powerhouses he had encountered, such as Vice Palace Master Su Yuying of the Moon God Palace, were far inferior in comparison to the Extreme Heaven Monarch.

Although the Extreme Heaven Monarch’s power couldn’t yet match that of the Celestial Martial Realm Kings who had mastered the Power of Laws, he was more than worthy of being called a Quasi-King.

Furthermore, his Demon Slaying Sword had been damaged in the past and was no match for a true King’s Weapon.

All these factors combined were why he had fallen into a disadvantage.

”Do you still want to fight? You should have realized by now that your Sword Techniques are useless against me.”

The Extreme Heaven Monarch’s gaze was impassive, as if he were looking down upon an ant.

”The Myriad Swords Technique is indeed not enough to defeat you.”

Ning Jiang admitted it freely. At the end of the day, the Myriad Swords Technique was only a Spirit Level Sword Skill, meant for those cultivating at the Primordial Spirit Fourth Tribulation Realm.

Martial Techniques are divided into Mortal, Profound, Spirit, Earth, Celestial, and Divine Levels.

Earth Level Martial Techniques can only be cultivated by those at the Earth Martial Realm and Heaven-Reaching Realm, while Celestial Level Martial Techniques can only be accessed by those at the Celestial Martial Realm.

The various techniques the Extreme Heaven Monarch had just displayed were all Earth Level Martial Techniques—and Top Grade ones at that.

”Since you understand, why not bow your head and accept your fate? If you do, I might grant you an intact corpse,” the Extreme Heaven Monarch said coldly.

The many disciples of the Extreme Heaven Sect were ecstatic, letting out wild cheers. No matter how strong Ning Jiang was, he was ultimately no match for their Sect Leader.

Meanwhile, the expressions on Lan Nongyu’s and Liu Xianyu’s faces grew increasingly grave.

’The odds are too slim. The Extreme Heaven Monarch is simply too powerful. No one beneath the King Realm can defeat him!’

Lü Xingfan secretly shook his head.

Standing beside him, Lü Qinghe was silent, her expression complex as she gazed at the proud, peerless figure in white standing tall in the sky.

”Ning Jiang, Master of the Myriad Swords Sect. After today, your name will indeed shake the Six Eastern Provinces once again. But so what? Death will be your ultimate fate.”

Hua Hailan shook her head indifferently, while Feng Sisi shot a sneer at Lan Nongyu and Liu Xianyu. ”After he’s dead, don’t think you two will have an easy time of it.”

Almost everyone believed the outcome was settled and that Ning Jiang’s defeat was certain.

However, Ning Jiang stood proudly in the vast sky, his expression impassive.

’How could these mortals possibly comprehend the nature of his existence?’

”Do you really think this is all I have? Extreme Heaven Monarch, you have sorely underestimated me.”

Ning Jiang’s gaze was calm. Deep within his eyes, how could he possibly regard the Extreme Heaven Monarch as a true threat?

He raised the sword in his hand, his eyes shining, and enunciated each word clearly, ”Divine Sword Technique, First Form: Sword Shocking Nine Heavens!”

VMMMM!

As he finished speaking, the Demon Slaying Sword began to tremble violently. The next moment, a Heaven-Reaching Sword Light shot into the Nine Heavens, dazzling the world.

The sword light was the only thing anyone could see; it filled their entire field of vision.

As the sword strike descended, the Extreme Heaven Monarch’s expression suddenly changed. This attack was at least ten times more powerful than the previous ones!

”Break!”

He threw a vicious punch, and a surging Fist Force filled the space between heaven and earth as it swept forward.

BANG.

After a brief stalemate, his Fist Force was unexpectedly sliced apart by the sword strike. He was forced to throw a second punch to finally dispel the attack.

”Second Sword: Sword Breaks the Sky!”

An even more terrifying Sword Aura erupted, slashing straight down toward the Extreme Heaven Monarch. The might of this strike sent a thrill of horror through the countless Sword Cultivators present.

BANG.

A violent collision erupted. Even more cracks appeared on the palace in the sky, and pieces began to break off and fall, only to be pulverized into nothingness by the Sword Qi that saturated the air.

The Extreme Heaven Monarch was actually forced back three steps by this sword strike. It was the first time he had retreated!

”Third Form, Sword Suppressing Sun and Moon.”

As this final sword strike descended, the Extreme Heaven Monarch’s expression changed drastically for the very first time.
