At this moment, Duan Ling Tian saw six hundred ancient horned dragons’ silhouettes shadow above his head!

“The Heaven and Earth Energy drove six hundred ancient horned dragons’ silhouettes from the Sword Concept alone… Fifth Level Advanced Sword Concept?!” Duan Ling Tian mumbled to himself, but his voice gradually turned louder. His eyes narrowed, and his expression was one of shock.

Duan Ling Tian did not expect the word ‘Sword’ on the wall would change his body so much.

Not only did he comprehend the two new heaven rank advanced sword skills, the Ninth Level Intermediate Sword Concept he had comprehended had risen up to the Fifth Level Advanced Sword Concept.

It was elevated by five levels!

“I think even the Profound Assimilation Formation isn’t as crazy as this?” Duan Ling Tian mumbled, the corner of his lips twitching. He instinctively looked at the word ‘Sword’ on the wall again.

Just a glance caused Duan Ling Tian’s head to feel heavy and vision to blur.

“Hmph!” Duan Ling Tian was prepared for this, and he pinched his thigh with his hand that was already in position. His vision focused again when he felt the pinch, and he regained his senses.

Duan Ling Tian did not dare to look at the word ‘Sword’ anymore after he regained his senses.

“I wonder who carved the word on the wall? Even a Martial Emperor powerhouse wouldn’t possess such a technique.” Duan Ling Tian inhaled deeply, he felt a hint of fear.

He discovered his vision would immediately blur as soon as he looked at the gigantic word ‘Sword’ on the wall as though there was an enchantment on the word.

“I’ve browsed through the two reincarnations of the Rebirth Martial Emperor’s memory… He had never even heard of this strange occurrence, let alone encountering it!” Duan Ling Tian mumbled as his eyes gleamed.

“According to the Rebirth Martial Emperor’s memory, many powerhouses who were above the Martial Emperor Stage appeared on Cloud Continent during the ancient age in his first life… Although he knew of the existence of the powerhouses, he had never heard of anyone who possessed such a technique!”

‘The word ‘Sword’ carved on the wall allowed me to break through the Ninth Level Intermediate Sword Concept that I’ve comprehended to the Fifth Level Advanced Sword Concept! Moreover, it even demonstrated sword skills for me,’ Duan Ling Tian thought about this as he took a deep breath.

In the meantime, he shook his arm to gather the Sword Concept that was dispersing to merge them with the Origin Energy that had risen on his arm.

All of a sudden, the Origin Energy formed a three-foot-long blade surrounded by sparkling Sword Energy. It emitted a fierce aura.

Another eight hundred ancient horned dragons’ silhouettes formed next to the six hundred ancient horned dragons’ silhouettes above Duan Ling Tian’s head.

It was the Heaven and Earth Phenomenon that was formed by Heaven and Earth Energy with the aid of Duan Ling Tian’s Sixth Level Void Transformation’s Origin Energy.

Nine Dragons’ Radiant Flash!

Duan Ling Tian had an indifferent expression on his face as he swung the three-foot-long blade in his arm as if he was merely swinging his arm.

“What a magical sensation!” Just a swing of the sword gave Duan Ling Tian a sensation as though God was working his magic. It felt as though Duan Ling Tian had mastered the Nine Dragons’ Radiant Flash to the highest degree.

Everything felt natural to him.

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

…

When Duan Ling Tian swung the sword, the Origin Energy that was merged with the Sword Energy suddenly transformed into nine divine dragons. They pounced ferociously toward the other side of a wall nearby.

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

…

The nine divine dragons’ eyes gleamed as eighteen ultimate radiant flashes shot out and collided destructively with the wall. Eighteen bottomless little holes were left on the wall.

Duan Ling Tian was stunned when he witnessed that.

He did not seem to notice the three-foot-long blade that sparkled with Sword Energy in his hand had disappeared.

“I… I’ve already cultivated my Nine Dragons’ Radiant Flash to the Perfection Stage?” Duan Ling Tian only reacted after a while. His breath instantly quickened.

There were four stages to the Nine Dragons’ Radiant Flash, the Seventh Form of the Nine Dragons War Sovereign Technique.

They were the Rudiments Stage, Initial Stage, Mastery Stage, and Perfection Stage.

A person who had cultivated to the Perfection Stage would have nine divine dragons shooting out eighteen ultimate radiant flashes with just a single swing of the sword. It was destructive enough to pierce through anything!

“It’s that word ‘Sword’ again?” Duan Ling Tian took a deep breath to calm his emotion. “I’ve only cultivated the Nine Dragons’ Radiant Flash to the Initial Stage previously… With a swing of the sword, three dragons would appear.”

“Due to the influence of the word and the sword skills demonstrated by the shadow that appeared in my head, my Nine Dragons’ Radiant Flash instantly rose to the Perfection Stage.” Duan Ling Tian was incredibly amazed by this.

If someone had told him that, he would have thought that person was lying.

However, he had to believe even if he did not want to since he experienced it himself.

“The Nine-Tribulation Sword Control Technique…” Soon after, Duan Ling Tian recalled the mysterious shadow’s movement in his head again.

After he demonstrated the Perfection Stage Nine Dragons’ Radiant Flash, the mysterious shadow ingeniously integrated the Nine Dragons’ Radiant Flash with the Nine-Tribulation Sword Control Technique.

When the nine swords were released, 81 dragons appeared and shot out 162 ultimate radiant flashes. They swept through and encompassed the entire area, no one would have been able to escape that!

Without further delay, Duan Ling Tian lifted his arm and took out the Quasi Royal Grade Spirit Sword.

He activated the Split-Unite Formation to transform one sword into nine. He controlled the nine swords with his Spiritual Energy, and they surrounded his body and rotated continuously.

Suddenly, Duan Ling Tian’s eyes gleamed coldly.

Nine-Tribulation Sword Control Technique!

At this moment, Duan Ling Tian was trying his best to control the nine swords in an attempt to shoot out all nine swords so he could perform the Nine-Tribulation Sword Control Technique to perfection.

‘Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!’

…

However, dreams were beautiful, and reality was cruel.

In the end, only five out of the nine Quasi Royal Grade Spirit Swords that surrounded Duan Ling Tian shot out. It was majestic as though there were five Duan Ling Tians dashing out at the same time.

Although Duan Ling Tian was a little disappointed, it did not affect his mood. He accepted the outcome and began to control the five swords to perform the Nine Dragons’ Radiant Flash.

He was a little anxious initially since it was his first time trying to merge the Nine Dragons’ Radiant Flash and the Nine-Tribulation Sword Control Technique after he watched the mysterious shadow demonstrate it.

However, he revealed an expression of joy on his face when he saw nine dragons coming out of each of the five swords he released with the Nine-Tribulation Sword Control Technique. There was a total of 45 divine dragons.

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

…

It looked like it was raining when the 48 divine dragons shot 90 ultimate radiant flashes out of 45 pairs of eyes. 90 tiny holes appeared on the left side of the wall.

Each of the holes seemed bottomless, one could imagine how lethal the ultimate radiant flashes were.

“Who exactly left the word ‘Sword?” Duan Ling Tian withdrew and merged the nine Quasi Royal Grade Spirit Swords into one. He lowered his guard and instinctively looked at the word ‘Sword’ on the wall again.

His vision immediately blurred as his gaze landed on the word ‘Sword’ on the wall again.

The word continued to enlarge before his eyes.

Subsequently, he heard the voice he heard previously. The voice was calm, and it expounded on the theory of swords.

Naturally, there were many things he did not understand since it was unfamiliar to him and difficult to understand.

Duan Ling Tian did not how much time had passed when he finally regained his senses.

“Nothing has changed… Seems like a breakthrough isn’t guaranteed each time I immerse myself in the word.” Duan Ling Tian shook his head as he established a connection and cast his Sword Concept again. He saw nothing had changed in the Heaven and Earth Phenomenon above his head, and he did not find it surprising.

His Sword Concept remained at the Fifth Level Advanced Sword Concept.

This time when he immersed himself in the word ‘Sword’, it did not give him any significant improvement.

“Hmm?” Duan Ling Tian suddenly raised an eyebrow as his focus shifted to Feng Tian Wu who was nearby.

‘Rumble!’

A strong flame was blazing rampantly on Feng Tian Wu’s body.

The Heaven and Earth Energy was rumbling above her head, and soon after, the Heaven and Earth Phenomenon was formed. There was a total of one thousand ancient horned dragons’ silhouettes.

Ninth Level Advanced Fire Concept!

In the beginning, Duan Ling Tian was a little anxious.

He was worried about Feng Tian Wu who had completely immersed herself in the word ‘Sword’ would forcefully connect and cast the Fire Profundity from her Fire Spirit Body’s energy.

However, he was relieved when he realized the Fire Concept on Feng Tian Wu’s body had stabilized at the Ninth Advanced Level.

Soon after, Duan Ling Tian noticed the flame that rose from Feng Tian Wu’s body began to press down from top to bottom.

Eventually, it was compressed into the shape of a sword and transformed into a sword-shaped flame.

Feng Tian Wu was completely shrouded in the sword-shaped flame as though she had turned into a gigantic burning red sword. Meanwhile, a scorching and ferocious aura gradually increased.

“Sword… Sword Concept?” Soon after, Duan Ling Tian sensed a familiar aura from the sword-shaped flame that shrouded Feng Tian Wu’s body. It was the Sword Concept’s aura.

Although it was just an Elementary Sword Concept, Duan Ling Tian was still extremely shocked by it.

“Prior to this, Tian Wu did not comprehend the Sword Force at all…” Duan Ling Tian’s heart jolted when he realized Feng Tian Wu’s drastic change was also caused by the gigantic word ‘Sword’ on the wall.

“Who left this word behind?” Duan Ling Tian took a deep breath and shifted his focus to the wall again. However, he did not look at the word this time. Instead, he was looking around as though he was searching for something.

Finally, he found some smaller words at the corner of the word ‘Sword’. The words were carved on the wall.

‘Whirlwind!’

Without further delay, Duan Ling Tian flew out and arrived before the wall with tiny words. He carefully observed them.

Duan Ling Tian noticed an inscription at the bottom right with just a glance.

‘Sword Saint, Feng Qing Yang!’
