Ling Tian Sword God

Chapter 1217: Chapter 1216: Shockwaves

Upon hearing this, everyone couldn’t help but be astonished, casting some incredulous glances toward Ling Chen.

Just now, his senior brother, the Free and Unrestrained Marquis, had just lost a battle to the King of Snowy Night, and yet Ling Chen was saying he wanted to challenge the King of Snowy Night. Could it be that he acts without thinking?

Does Ling Chen believe his strength surpasses that of his senior brother, the Free and Unrestrained Marquis?

Even if Ling Chen defeated the Star Sword Marquis, comparing the Star Sword Marquis to the King of Snowy Night is like comparing a candle to the light of a full moon—completely incomparable.

Ling Chen’s desire to challenge the King of Snowy Night is likely far from adequate.

Faced with Ling Chen’s sudden challenge, the King of Snowy Night was slightly surprised, then sized up Ling Chen, shaking his head, ”Young one, I admire your courage, but you cannot be my opponent. In my opinion, this battle need not proceed.”

”Can one determine an opponent merely by the naked eye?”

The corners of Ling Chen’s mouth lifted into a slight arc, but the next moment, his smile vanished abruptly, replaced by an extremely sharp expression. Unparalleled and majestic Sword Intent suddenly erupted from the center of Ling Chen’s brow!

The fluctuation of Saint Sword Intent instantly enveloped the entire Summit of the Spiritual Mountain!

”Saint Sword Intent?!”

As soon as Ling Chen’s Sword Intent was released, the expressions of King of Taisu and Holy Heart Queen slightly changed. Their gaze upon Ling Chen immediately became different.

To cultivate Sword Intent to a Saint-level at this age is extremely rare, perhaps even unique across the Nine Provinces Land.

No wonder this youth, aware of the challenges, heads fearlessly into the mountains, possessing the courage to challenge his opponent despite the defeat of the King of Snowy Night.

Although Saint Sword Intent is rare, due to the earlier appearance of the Sword Demon’s Descendant, when compared at this moment, it is actually overshadowed.

”Saint Sword Intent; this is what you rely on?”

The eyes of the King of Snowy Night wavered slightly, but then quickly calmed back to their usual cold indifference. Though powerful, Saint Sword Intent alone cannot overturn the absolute strength disparity.

”Defeating the King of Snowy Night with Saint Sword Intent alone is too difficult.”

Not far away, the Free and Unrestrained Marquis shook his head. Having personally experienced the strength of the King of Snowy Night, he knew clearly the gap between a Divine Marquis Level and the King of Snowy Night.

A mere Saint Sword Intent is not enough to bridge such a gap.

Remember, even Wei Wuxian, the Sword Demon’s Descendant, had to fully unleash his own potential, reaching a dangerously exhausted state, to break the defense of the King of Golden Buddha and fight to a draw with him.

”In my presence, relying only on this, is far from sufficient.”

The King of Snowy Night swung his frost-white Long Knife, and in the sky, snowflakes descended anew, filled with strong knife intent and momentum, as if lying dormant, ready to burst forth at any moment.

Snow danced wildly, striking Ling Chen with a rustling sound. Even so, the Sword Momentum around Ling Chen did not diminish, and at this moment, the Thunder Sound Sword flew out on its own, hovering high above his head.

”If you add this, I wonder if that’s enough?”

Ling Chen suddenly revealed a smile. Instantly, an unprecedentedly powerful aura erupted from him, as his cultivation, boosted by the Ancient Saint King Battle Technique, soared to the level of an Intermediate Semi-Saint!

Simultaneously, the Thunder Sound Sword above his head suddenly split, transforming into over a hundred flying swords at an astonishing speed!

”This is... the Third Level of Sword Control Technique... Controlling Gift of Hundred Swords?”

Seeing the hundreds of flying swords in the air, the Free and Unrestrained Marquis couldn’t help but exclaim.

This junior brother of his had surprisingly cultivated the Sword Controlling Technique to such a degree, reaching the supreme level of Controlling Gift of Hundred Swords?

”Controlling Gift of Hundred Swords, it’s actually Controlling Gift of Hundred Swords.”

Upon the high platform, the White Robed Swordsman also wore an expression of disbelief, utterly shocked.

Previously, Ling Chen had merely displayed the realm of Following your Heart with Sword, a realm profound but insufficient to cause such a great commotion, as it was fairly elusive.

But now things were different. Ling Chen demonstrated the Controlling Gift of Hundred Swords, the highest level of Sword Controlling Technique.

Remember, those capable of Controlling Gift of Hundred Swords in the Nine Provinces Land are exceedingly rare, and each is a well-established Sword Saint. Even he, White Robed Swordsman, hasn’t mastered the Second level of Sword Controlling Technique, let alone Controlling Gift of Hundred Swords.

”Incredible, is this youth really just a part of the young generation?”

The Dominator Gun Saint was also astounded beyond measure, unable to believe.

”Controlling Gift of Hundred Swords along with Saint Sword Intent; is this youth the Sword Unrivaled of our era?”

Another Sword Saint shouted fiercely.

Throughout history, those whose swordsmanship was exquisite and mastered to the pinnacle were called Sword Unrivaled. Such a title was no lesser than the Sword Devil. Now that the Sword Devil has burst forth into the world, represented by Wei Wuxian among the current young generation, isn’t it very likely that Sword Unrivaled is also among this group, namely Ling Chen?

”Sword Unrivaled?”

The eyes of the White Robed Swordsman narrowed suddenly but then shook his head, ”He’s not Sword Unrivaled. Though Sword Unrivaled’s swordsmanship is unparalleled and perfected, its bias and flaws are very apparent, yet from Ling Chen, I do not see the presence of such flaws.”

”What, no flaws of Sword Unrivaled, yet with the characteristics of Sword Unrivaled?”

The panel of judges were all jaw-droppingly stunned, frowning deeply. Ling Chen truly was an anomaly, and an extremely formidable one at that.

At this moment, far away in the Divine Palace.

Through the Heaven-stealing Mirror, Empress Yunyao saw everything happening at the Spirit Mountain Peak clearly.

”Hehe, Ling Chen, you indeed did not disappoint me.”

Empress Yunyao’s face bore a smile of appreciation, and suddenly, a trace of brilliance appeared in her gem-like beautiful eyes, ”Ling Chen, unleash your full potential; let the world truly see your powers, and let me also witness it.”

While the King of Snowy Night is a Youth King, there are four Youth Kings, whereas only one like Ling Chen exists, unique and unmatched.

”Controlling Gift of Hundred Swords? No wonder...”

The King of Snowy Night was equally astonished, his expression becoming serious. Saint Sword Intent combined with Controlling Gift of Hundred Swords; even he, a Youth King, must approach carefully, with genuine effort.

”For a prodigy like Wei Wuxian to emerge is already world-shocking, a product of thriving eras. Unexpectedly, this Ling Chen is in no way inferior to Wei Wuxian.”

The King of Taisu, Holy Heart Queen, and King of Golden Buddha all felt a sense of awe. This is indeed a great era; two unrivaled prodigies have emerged, something not seen before, not for nearly a thousand years.
