Chapter 299: Lingyun Sword Intent! (2 more updates)

Lyng Yun Sword King Fong Mu furrowed her brows slightly and spoke indifferently, "This test, I will not lift a finger against you. If you can withstand the pressure of my Lingyun Sword Intent, then you will have passed."Despite seeming simple, this test was immensely challenging in reality. Those in the Magnetic Condensation Realm, when faced with a Sword King Level martial artist, would be utterly suppressed by the sheer force of their presence, not to mention someone like the Lyng Yun Sword King who specialized in cultivating through Sword Intent.

Under her Sword Intent, even martial artists of the Peak Sword King Level would feel their spirits close to breaking. If one were not resolute enough, they might find themselves kneeling and surrendering on the spot.

"Very well, please enlighten me!"

Ling Feng clenched his fists, one sword sloped toward the ground as he stood with his hands behind his back.

Instantly, an imposing aura surged upward like Jinghong refining the sky, shooting straight toward the Lyng Yun Sword King.

Ling Feng had not yet grasped the essence of Sword Intent, but in terms of aura alone, he was at least not inferior to Du Shaoling.

Moreover, his Sword Intent was that of Slaughter.

Amongst countless types of Sword Intent, only Slaughter Sword Intent, with its intensely heavy killing and malicious aura, ranked as the most domineering in the world. It also cultivated within Ling Feng a terrifying Killing Intent. Once his Slaughter Sword Intent was unleashed, that dreaded Killing Intent would make one feel as though they were plunging into Shura Hell.

Facing the Lyng Yun Sword King’s Sword Intent with such domineering Killing Intent, what would be the outcome?

A cold smile hung on the corner of the Lyng Yun Sword King’s lips, "Such a level of aura is hardly worth a strike."

"Lingyun Sword Pressure!"

The Lyng Yun Sword King called out sharply, summoning a third of her Sword Intent, enveloping a three-meter radius around Ling Feng.

Instantly, Ling Feng felt as if he had plummeted into the Netherworld Absolute Prison; the previous pressure seemed to magnify a million times, almost shattering the space around him. It was just the Sword Intent, yet it possessed such mighty power—Ling Feng had truly seen something extraordinary.

In Xuanling Continent, martial artists either pursued the solidity of Elemental Power, the invincibility of the body, or the versatility of Divine Sense—these three were known as the Great Tao.

As the Infinite Sword King focused on Sword Dao and swordsmanship, and Lyng Yun Sword King specialized in unrivaled Sword Force, these extreme methods of cultivating Sword Dao were actually becoming phased out.

It wasn’t that these methods were weak; on the contrary, the cultivation of the ultimate Sword Dao was no less potent than the mainstream cultivation of Elemental Power. It was merely because the threshold for such cultivation was incredibly high.

If one in a hundred ordinary people were suitable to become a martial artist,

then among one hundred martial artists, not necessarily one was fit to cultivate the Sword Dao.

After all, only those who had grasped Sword Intent could truly be said to have entered the path of Sword Dao.

And even in a place teeming with geniuses like the Heavenly Position Academy, how many could actually comprehend Sword Intent?

"Eight Desolates Body Forging Technique—Mountain Shattering Transformation!"

Ling Feng, nearly vomited blood under the pressure of the Lyng Yun Sword King’s Sword Force, which was pervasive and unmatched. Despite deploying the Eight Desolates Body Forging Technique to greatly enhance his body’s strength, he was like a stray dog against the sharp Sword Force, no match at the slightest.

This Mountain Shattering Transformation was recorded in the first volume of the "Eight Desolates Body Forging Technique," part of the "Eight Desolates Four Transformations."

The "Eight Desolates Four Transformations" was subdivided into Mountain Shattering Transformation, Crack Earth Transformation, Mountain Crashing Transformation, and Sky-breaking Transformation—As the name implies, these transformations allowed one’s Body Refining Realm to reach certain levels, possessing Mountain-shattering Power, Earth-splitting Power, Mountain Crashing Power, and Sky-breaking Power. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ NovᴇlFirᴇ.ɴet

In the Heavenly Position Mountain Range, Ling Feng had just begun to see the path and, using the essence blood of a Sky Swallowing Dragon Python, had finally mastered the first layer of the Eight Desolates Body Refining Technique, the Mountain Shattering Transformation!

At this moment, Ling Feng had no other choice but to use the trump card of the Mountain Shattering Transformation; otherwise, his bones might have been entirely crushed.

Suddenly, Ling Feng’s body erupted once more with immense power. Under the pressure of three parts of the Lingyun Sword Intent, the formidable body of the fierce beast could no longer be suppressed.

"Three parts are insufficient, then how about six parts?"

The Lyng Yun Sword King coldly snorted as her Sword Intent intensified once more.

From thirty to sixty percent, it’s not simply doubling, but rather the difference between small success Sword Force and Great Success Sword Force!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Indeed, under the Great Success Sword Force of Lyng Yun Sword King, Mountain Shattering Transformation was insufficient. Ling Feng was pressed down so much that he could hardly straighten his back, muscles grotesquely bulging and starting to seep fresh blood. Soon, blood started flowing from Ling Feng’s eyes, ears, mouth, and nose.

This horrifying level of Sword Pressure nearly ground Ling Feng into pieces.

"Crack crack crack!"

Ling Feng could even hear the sound of his own bones seemingly reaching their limits and breaking inch by inch.

"Sword Force, invisible and formless, but why can it generate such immense power?"

Ling Feng struggled desperately, his thoughts racing as he continuously pondered how to cope.

"What is force? What are Sword Force and aura? What is the difference?"

Under the Sword Force of the Lyng Yun Sword King, Ling Feng’s physical body was already starting to break down, muscles tearing apart and blood spurting fiercely, but by sheer will, he somehow managed to keep standing.

But now, he had become a standing blood man.

"Sword Force! Sword Force! Sword Force!"

Gradually, a faint understanding began to rise in Ling Feng’s heart, but he still couldn’t clear the last bits of mist to see its true form.

"How tenacious!" the Lyng Yun Sword King observed Ling Feng, who had become a blood man under her Sword Force, feeling a bit reluctant to continue, but in her dictionary, there was no word for "mercy."

Either concede, or continue facing the trials.

"Boy, if you give up now, you can still save your life," the Lyng Yun Sword King shouted at Ling Feng.

But Ling Feng had already entered a peculiar state, seemingly unable to feel his physical body.

"How does force wound?"

"How does force grow?"

"How does one perceive force?"

In an instant, countless questions flashed through Ling Feng’s mind, ultimately focusing solely on the perception of the Lyng Yun Sword King’s Sword Force: breaking through all appearances, what exactly is Sword Force?

The Lyng Yun Sword King saw that Ling Feng seemed to have entered a state of sudden realization and was slightly surprised, "Could this boy be about to comprehend Sword Force? Impossible, the essence of Sword Force is spiritual power, and he hasn’t even reached the Divine Origin Realm or touched upon the Refining God Technique. Moreover, his Sword Intent, although it is the rare Slaughter Sword Intent, has only just begun to grasp the path."

"Only when Sword Intent reaches Perfection can one comprehend Sword Force; this is common knowledge that all swordsmen understand! Hmph, no matter what, he definitely can’t comprehend Sword Force."

The Lyng Yun Sword King shook her head with a smile, however, she faintly felt that if Ling Feng continued to delve deeper, perhaps something unthinkable might really happen.

At this critical moment, the Lyng Yun Sword King felt a fondness for talent and was inclined to give Ling Feng a helping hand.

Suddenly, her Sword Force shook and transformed, turning from the sharpest point to the gentlest feather. She transmitted her understanding of Sword Force through her own Sword Force into Ling Feng’s Sea of Consciousness.

Ling Feng struggled in his own spiritual world, but the final thin veil was like a Heavenly Chasm, utterly impassable.

However, a pure essence of Sword Force suddenly entered his Sea of Consciousness, a vast array of information came with it, slowly resolving all the perplexities in Ling Feng’s heart.

So it turns out, the essence of Sword Force is actually Divine Power!
