Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Xiong Quan led the way while Duan Ling Tian and Feng Tian Wu followed him like his shadow.

The rugged terrain in the mountain range was difficult for ordinary people to walk, and the wild beasts that would suddenly appear was a nightmare for ordinary people.

However, Duan Ling Tian and the other two were not ordinary people.

It did not pose a problem for Duan Ling Tian and Feng Tian Wu since they had the ability to fly.

Although Xiong Quan was running, it felt more like a leisurely walk on flat ground to him.

His body emanated a ferocious Sword Energy that scared away wild beasts, they did not dare to attack him at all.

Led by Xiong Quan, Duan Ling Tian and Feng Tian Wu finally arrived outside a canyon deep in the mountain range.

The canyon’s entrance was in the form of a single-line sky. If Xiong Quan did not lead the way, it would have been impossible for Duan Ling Tian and Feng Tian Wu to find this place.

“Young Master, Miss Tian Wu… It’s in there.” Xiong Quan’s breath quickened when he stood outside the canyon’s entrance. It was as though something in there excited him.

Duan Ling Tian had introduced Feng Tian Wu to Xiong Quan during their journey.

Xiong Quan was an observant person. He could tell Feng Tian Wu was interested in his Young Master.

When he saw the way his Young Master treated her, he knew Miss Tian Wu would most likely be Duan Ling Tian’s third wife in the future.

Therefore, he was polite to Feng Tian Wu and acted accordingly.

“Hmm.” Duan Ling Tian nodded. Xiong Quan’s excitement piqued his curiosity

‘What’s in the canyon? It even caused Xiong Quan to lose his composure.’

From what he remembered, Xiong Quan was a steady person.

“Let’s go!” Duan Ling Tian said and took the lead to fly through the single-line sky. He had finally entered the canyon.

Meanwhile, Feng Tian Wu and Xiong Quan followed closely behind.

‘Fwah!’

‘Fwah! Fwah! Fwah!’

…

When they entered the canyon, the sound of rapid water flowing caught Duan Ling Tian’s attention, and he immediately turned to look at the source of the sound.

With just a glance, he saw a big waterfall deep in the canyon. The waterfall was akin to the galaxy falling from the sky. It was impressive to look at from afar.

“Young Master, it’s here.” Xiong Quan finally managed to tamp down his excitement. He took the lead again and brought them across the big waterfall. He stared fixedly at the wall next to the waterfall.

It was as though there was something fascinating on the wall that had attracted his attention.

Meanwhile, Origin Energy ran rampant on Xiong Quan’s body when his attention was focused on the wall. It gave him a fierce and imposing aura.

Xiong Quan’s odd behavior immediately caught Duan Ling Tian and Feng Tian Wu’s attention.

Duan Ling Tian and Feng Tian Wu finally arrived next to Xiong Quan. They looked curiously at the object of Xiong Quan’s attention. It was a wall next to the waterfall.

With just a glance, their interest was immediately piqued.

‘Sword!’

A gigantic word that read ‘Sword’ on the wall appeared before Duan Ling Tian’s eyes. In the beginning, nothing was out of the ordinary. However, Duan Ling Tian soon realized his mind turned empty when he focused on the word.

It was apparent someone had carved the word on the wall using sword glow in just a stroke. It emitted a fierce sword intent.

Soon after, Duan Ling Tian’s empty mind was only left with the word ‘Sword’. Duan Ling Tian felt as though he was beguiled by the word that released a fierce sword intent.

‘Whoosh!’

Duan Ling Tian did not know when Sword Energy began to rise from his body. It was the Ninth Level Intermediate Sword Concept he had comprehended.

Almost at the same time when the Sword Concept appeared, the Heaven and Earth Energy above Duan Ling Tian’s head whirred and eventually formed a hundred ancient horned dragons’ silhouettes.

The canyon was completely silent.

Duan Ling Tian and Xiong Quan were not the only ones staring blankly at the word ‘Sword’ on the wall, even Feng Tian Wu’s eyes were focused on the word.

Initially, she thought the word ‘Sword’ was beautiful. However, she could not tear her eyes away from it after a few more looks. She had completely immersed herself in the word. It was as though the word contained some kind of enchantment.

She did not know when, but she could sense some sort of force as she comprehended it.

The force’s characteristic was obvious – It was ferocious and sharp.

“Sword Force!” Feng Tian Wu’s heart jolted, and the expression on her beautiful face changed slightly.

She did not think just the word ‘Sword’ on the wall would allow her to comprehend the Sword Force she did not have any contact with prior to this.

Although she was shocked, she still could not look away from the word on the wall. The word ‘Sword’ seemed to have captivated her, it made her unwilling to look away.

‘Fwah!’

Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian, who was standing next to Feng Tian Wu, had Sword Energy on his body. It released a wave of overbearing aura that shot up to the sky.

At the same time, the Heaven and Earth Phenomenon above Duan Ling Tian’s head began to change. Initially, there were a hundred ancient horned dragons’ silhouettes, but there were currently two hundred ancient horned dragons’ silhouettes.

First Level Advanced Sword Concept!

Duan Ling Tian, who was completely immersed in the word ‘Sword’ on the wall, had yet to realize he had a breakthrough in his Sword Concept.

He had broken through to the Void Transformation Stage.

…

“Sword, the king of soldiers!”

“Sword, it rescues, and kills at the same time!”

“Sword brings justice to the world and destroy all the injustice in the world!”

…

Duan Ling Tian did not know when but a calm voice entered his ears when he was completely immersed in the word ‘Sword’ on the wall. There was no trace of emotion in the voice.

It seemed as though Duan Ling Tian gained a new understanding of the word ‘Sword’ when he heard the voice.

He could not help but sweat when he thought of the person who left the sword intent behind.

All of a sudden, he thought his sword attainment was like comparing fluorescent light to the sun and moon when he compared himself with the voice.

Duan Ling Tian felt as though he had been bewitched.

His mind was clear of everything except for the word ‘Sword’ on the wall. However, things began to change.

The word rotated a few times before a shadow suddenly appeared The shadow stood with the support of a sword.

Duan Ling Tian could not see how the shadow’s appearance, but he could sense the ferocious sword intent the shadow was releasing. It seemed as though the sword intent could destroy everything.

The sword intent was smothering him.

‘It seems like being in the presence of the sword intent released by the shadow is more beneficial than an Emperor Stage Profundity Fragment!’ A thought suddenly appeared in Duan Ling Tian’s mind.

It was difficult for him to get rid of the thought.

Duan Ling Tian’s mind was in chaos when the shadow suddenly moved.

‘Oh, my god!’

‘How’s this possible?!’

He discovered the shadow in his mind was performing a sword skill. Its movement was as smooth as floating clouds and flowing water.

It would not have mattered so much if it was performing some other sword skill, but it was performing the Nine Dragons’ Radiant Flash!

The Nine Dragons’ Radiant Flash was the heaven rank advanced sword skill from the Nine Dragons War Sovereign Technique.

Theoretically, apart from him and the Rebirth Martial Emperor whose soul was completely destroyed, it was impossible a third person would know about this sword skill.

“What…” Duan Ling Tian’s mind erupted in chaos again before he had time to ponder deeply about the matter.

He realized all nine dragons with an imposing and majestic manner were released when the mysterious shadow was performing the Nine Dragons’ Radiant Flash in his head.

The nine divine dragons’ eyes gleamed as eighteen ultimate radiant flashes shot out.

‘Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!’

…

Eighteen ultimate radiant flashes shout out destructively as though they were going to pierce through everything.

It was the Perfection Stage Nine Dragons’ Radiant Flash!

Duan Ling Tian was stunned.

Subsequently, he saw the mysterious shadow tirelessly performed Nine Dragons’ Radiant Flash one after another.

It was as though it had transformed into a tireless teacher.

Duan Ling Tian who was initially shocked finally regained his composure. He learned a lot from watching the mysterious shadow performing the Nine Dragons’ Radiant Flash.

Time passed by silently.

Duan Ling Tian had no idea how long had passed. The shadow stopped moving when he discovered he had a brand new understanding of the Nine Dragons’ Radiant Flash.

‘Whoosh!’

He was about to demonstrate the Nine Dragons’ Radiant Flash so he could take a good look at what he had learned when the mysterious shadow began to move and demonstrate another sword skill.

The sword skill shocked Duan Ling Tian again.

It was the Nine-Tribulation Sword Control Technique!

The mysterious shadow hovered in the air as nine swords appeared around his body. The nine swords continuously moved around his body.

‘Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!’

…

Suddenly, the mysterious shadow moved again. It released all nine swords that exuded a fierce aura.

That was not the only thing that shocked Duan Ling Tian.

He saw nine divine dragons appeared out of the nine swords one after another. There was a total of 81 divine dragons, and their eyes gleamed in unison.

In the next second, 162 ultimate radiant flashes shot out and encompassed the entire area. It was terrifyingly overbearing.

“How’s this possible?” Duan Ling Tian was a little lost, but he regained his senses when the mysterious shadow vanished. He realized that he was still standing across the big waterfall in the canyon.

“Tian Wu…” Duan Ling Tian discovered Feng Tian Wu was also staring at the word on the wall. He took a deep breath. ‘Who exactly left the word ‘Sword’ behind?’

When the question appeared in Duan Ling Tian’s mind, he seemed to have noticed something, and he immediately looked up.

The Heaven and Earth Phenomenon was fading away above his head, and he was just about to withdraw the Sword Concept that rose from his body.

“What…” Duan Ling Tian’s eyes widened in shock when he saw the ancient horned dragons’ silhouettes above his head.
