Chapter 597: Sword Prowess, Sword Force and Sword Realm
Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations
The myriad malevolent ghosts and demons roared furiously, about to launch their attacks.
Fang Xingjian slashed out with his sword finger again, and a stream of sword Qi several tens of li long seemed to cut across the sky as it came slashing down. The dark clouds exploded and dissipated because of the slash and the myriad demons cried out agonizingly as they were blasted into smithereens by the endless sword Qis.
While the series of attacks seemed to be very simple, Rona was easily defeated by them.
"Ahhh!!!" When the young lady saw this scene, she cried out in astonishment. She retreated back and exerted force with her physical body. Her specialty seeds and physical particles exploded and a tremendous amount of power struck into the void space as she brought about waves of air currents in order to make her escape.
Her unleashing of the series of explosive power could be considered extremely masterful and proficient. This entire series of explosions would probably be able to crush almost all Conferred Knights. It revealed the young lady's strong foundations and even Fang Xingjian could not help but approve when he saw it.
However, it was still meaningless. The young lady had not even moved for 0.1 seconds when Fang Xingjian lifted up his sword finger and several hundred millions streams of sword forces flashed, appearing out of void space, mixed in with the sword intents and sword forces of the Infiltrating Void, Lightless Sword, and All-Conquering. Streams of sword force penetrated through void space, from hundred millions and upward in number. They destroyed everything in their paths and the young lady was disintegrated at the physical particles level.
Her body started to shatter and turn into powder starting from her two legs. In an instant, her entire person was dust and even her martial will was slashed into smithereens by the sword forces. Her physical body had been broken down and there was not even a single hint of her martial will left behind.
"No!"
Bathed in blood, Rona, who had sustained serious injuries, dashed out from the ruins and saw her being crushed with a single sword attack. He let out a world-shaking cry, looking just like a wild beast that had sunk into a desperate situation. His eyes were bloodshot and he looked at Fang Xingjian with an extremely vengeful gaze, as if they had a great enmity between them.
"Ahhh!!!"
1,500 specialty seeds were all detonated and all of Rona's flesh and bones were burning up. Concurrently, chunks and chunks of his martial will also started to shatter.
Even the heavenly thunders and terrestrial magnetism forces between physical particles, the powers that sustained his physical structures, were being drawn out.
He was detonating his specialty seeds, burning up his vital energy and blood, shattering his martial will and even drawing out the heavenly thunders and terrestrial magnetism forces that were sustaining his body's structure... At this moment, Rona had really gone all out.
"Fang! Xing! Jian! I want you to die!!!"
All the powers were mixed into this single attack and a long pitch-black river was unleashed from Rona's body. He turned all these powers into a great river akin to the legendary River Styx and charged at Fang Xingjian.
This attack was the Netherworld Waves' ultimate move, just like the ultimate move of Fang Xingjian's Prodigious Astral Divine Powers Waves, the Terra Ingurgitation.
According to the legends, the River Styx was the path which humans took to enter the netherworld after their deaths. Once this Netherworld River was brought out, the intention was to send the opponent to the netherworld, absorbing the opponent's martial will and mixing it into the Netherworld River, wiping out all their memories and consciousness. It was an unrivalled martial art that attacked one's will.
However, right now, Fang Xingjian had already become an existence that surpassed Rona's understanding.
After his job transition into the Eternal Sword Seigneur, just the increment to his attributes brought by the increase to his level was 500 points. It means that with each additional increment in level as an Eternal Sword Seigneur, each of his five main attributes had increased by 100 points.
It meant that Fang Xingjian's current attributes had become:
-----
Name: Fang Xingjian
Age: 19
Occupation: Eternal Sword Seigneur
Level: 30
Strength: 426
Agility: 424
Reaction: 329
Endurance: 310
Flexibility: 309
-----
These attributes were truly terrifying. However, when compared to the other changes due to his attainment of the Divine level, this was not even worth mentioning.
Having succeeded in attaining the Divine level, Fang Xingjian's martial will had materialized in its entirety. This meant that his martial will could affect the physical world directly and that the power of his physical body could be completely turned into the power of his martial will. All of his attacks could be sent out directly through his martial will.
Considering the explosive force of Fang Xingjian's 10,000 specialties and 1.08 billion physical particles, how powerful and fierce was his physical strength? Right now, all of that had turned into his martial will, capable of penetrating through all gaps, of scanning at a range as far as 100 li, and of being as detailed as to enter the microscopic world. When Fang Xingjian performed sword moves in his current state, his prowess was truly terrifying.
And above all, other than the increment to his attributes and the materialization of his martial will which the Divine level had brought him—which were the basics of basics, the Eternal Sword Seigneur still brought along three new abilities. They were the Sword Prowess, Sword Force, and Sword Realm.
Sword Prowess: Ability to comprehend any sword techniques just by listening to them once, and to learn them with a single look. Once the sword techniques are acquired, they are automatically brought to level 50, and all the already acquired sword techniques also automatically rise to level 50.
Sword Force: All attacks automatically trigger astronomical phenomena, stimulating the energy from ether particles. The effects of all attacks are doubled. This means that with each sword attack, the energy of ether particles is instantly stimulated to attack as well, bringing about the effect of doubling the impacts of all attacks.
And the Sword Realm contained and even deeper level of profoundness.
A total of 500 points of increment to his attributes, the transformation of his martial will, in addition to having his sword techniques brought up to level 50 due to Sword Prowess and having the impact of his attacks doubled due to Sword Force... Fang Xingjian's battle prowess could now be said to have reached a whole new dimension.
Faced with the seething Netherworld River, Fang Xingjian transmitted information through his martial will, and his voice rang out directly in Rona's mind. He nonchalantly said, "This is meaningless."
The next instant, sword light flashed in void space, shattering the seething long river and turning it into a rainstorm.
Having the attack which he had put his life on the line for be so easily broken with a single attack, disbelief flashed in Rona's eyes. It then all turned into waves of deep desperation. Just as he was about to fall, he was pulled by an invisible force and brought before Fang Xingjian.
Concurrently, Fang Xingjian pulled casually with one hand, and it was as if he had gathered the sunlight in the sky as he slashed with one sword attack, and then draped it over his body as his clothes.
Slashing sunlight for clothes... Looking at this scene, Rona's eyes were filled with dismay. "You... succeeded in reaching the Divine level?"
"That's right." Fang Xingjian took a look at his attributes, sensing the terrifying power in his body and his omnipresent martial will, then spoke calmly, "Hand over the Mystic Abyss Heavenly Emperor's Waves and I will let you have an easier death."
Rona, having unleashed all of his powers, now had all of his specialty seeds destroyed, and even his body's physical structure was unstable. He would die at any moment, or rather, it could be said that he no longer cared about life or death. He only looked at Fang Xingjian with an expression that said that he could not accept this outcome.
He was born in a clan with the legacy of a Divine level expert. Since young, he had received the best education and had been trained in top notch martial arts. At a later time, he even received the legacy of the Mystic Abyss Heavenly Emperor. He had thought that he was a lucky person who had been favored by the world, and that in the future, he was going to be the main character who would leave his name in history.
However, he found himself completely defeated by Fang Xingjian, without a single hint of hope left.
Looking at Fang Xingjian who had succeeded in reaching the Divine level, Rona said vengefully, "Fang Xingjian, don't think that you've already won. The Empire has ten great Divine level experts. Do you really think that you're invincible just because you've reached the Divine level?
"Moreover, my clan will definitely not let you off for killing me. The seven great clans won't let you off. You should be prepared to be hunted down and killed," Rona said as he laughed coldly, "Moreover, you might not actually be able to escape today." As he spoke, he looked into the sky, several hundred meters away.
Fang Xingjian did not look at Rona but instead, he also lifted his head and looked in the same direction.
It was unknown when this had happened, but the First Prince was standing there, wearing the Hell's White Bone Armor.
