Chapter 131: Seeing a World of Swords
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Seeing the sea for the first time, Lin Jiufeng triggered the Sign-In and received a phenomenon domain.
All of a sudden, Lin Jiufeng’s strength increased by a huge margin.
He was overjoyed.
With the integration of a phenomenon domain into his G.o.d’s Domain. Its might had explosively increased.
Once Lin Jiufeng thoroughly understood the Sea Rising Bright Moonlight phenomenon domain, he walked along the coastline to the place where Princess Yulin was being held captive.
It has been a year since Princess Yulin was taken hostage.
It wasn’t difficult to find her at all—the surging sword energy was visible even from a great distance.
Lin Jiufeng didn’t even need to ask any third party as to where the overseas swordsman took root.
As he stood by the sea, the spiritual energy in the air became like a tide, rising and falling.
In the distance, soaring sword energy formed a beam that appeared in Lin Jiufeng’s eyes.
That was the place where Princess Yulin was being held captive.
The overseas swordsman didn’t even bother hiding.
Anyone who was at the Human G.o.d Realm and came here could sense the overbearing sword energies.
The son of the Millennium Sword G.o.d of the old era was arrogant.
He didn’t bother to hide anything. This was obviously his way of telling the Yuhua G.o.d Dynasty that the princess was here and there was nothing that they could do to release her until they agreed to his demands.
And if they truly wanted to save her, they could just try and do it.
But in the months that pa.s.sed, the Yuhua G.o.d Dynasty didn’t do anything at all.
Lin Jiufeng looked at the soaring sword energy that filled the void.
He walked over.
He wanted to see what this son of the Millennium Sword G.o.d was up to.
…
The bay used to be bustling with people from all walks of life enjoying themselves by the sea.
The waves that constantly splashed over, the blue sky, and the white clouds altogether formed a beautiful scenery.
But since Princess Yulin was held captive by the bay, no one dared to visit the place anymore.
Beneath the clear sky, the breeze was warm. It brought with it the salty smell of the sea.
The bay that was miles long had no one on its hot sands.
There were only the surging waves and a thatched hut.
Lin Jiufeng walked over.
In an instant, he saw the reason why Princess Yulin couldn’t escape.
In the sky above the bay, a huge sword array was pressing down on her. Resplendent and powerful sword energies constantly zigzagged in the air, forming sword energy veins that made up the array formation holding Princess Yulin captive.
For the ordinary people, the bay was empty except for a thatched hut.
But in Lin Jiufeng’s eyes, there was sword energy everywhere within the void of this area. Its sharp killing intent was laid bare in his eyes. He reckoned that if someone was careless, the sword energy would directly slash out. They would find it hard to resist such an attack.
The center of this sword formation was the thatched hut.
The sword formation was being used to suppress Princess Yulin who was being held captive by the sea. In Lin Jiufeng’s eyes, he saw 365 sword energies directed at Princess Yulin beneath the chaos that these zigzagging sword energies made.
Beams of sword energy sealed Princess Yulin’s routes of escape, forcefully suppressing her by the sea.
Lin Jiufeng walked along the edge of the sword formation and observed…
He had studied array formations before.
He wasn’t a noob at array formations, so he could tell that the sword formation was a type of oppressive array formation.
It didn’t hurt Princess Yulin at all.
Princess Yulin remained unscathed despite the suppression.
Her eyes were closed as she hovered above the sword energies.
Using the sword energies as a bed, she emptied her mind and floated in the air.
As Lin Jiufeng was observing the sword array, the door to the thatched hut opened and a middle-aged man holding a wine pot walked out.
He didn’t notice Lin Jiufeng who was outside the array formation.
He walked to the edge of the sea and asked, “You still don’t want to tell me where you’ve learned your Flying Sword Technique from?”
Lin Jiufeng watched silently.
The middle-aged man was the son of the Millennium Sword G.o.d from the old era.
He suppressed Princess Yulin but didn’t kill her just yet because he wanted to figure out how Princess Yulin learned his father’s Flying Sword Technique as well as to use her as a bargaining tool against the dynasty.
His words made Lin Jiufeng remember that he had once used Princess Yulin’s sword when he killed 15 Supremacy Realm cultivators with a move before going into seclusion.
He was also the one that imparted the Flying Sword Technique to Princess Yulin back then.
At that time, Lin Jiufeng let Princess Yulin comprehend it by herself.
After all these years, Princess Yulin’s understanding of the technique was already deep, to say the least.
When she fought against the son of the Millennium Sword G.o.d, the latter immediately recognized the technique that she was using.
What Princess Yulin displayed was his father’s supreme sword skill!
The Flying Sword Technique!
Hence, he went all out and defeated Princess Yulin with three strikes.
Then, he captured and suppressed Princess Yulin here and began to inquire about the origins of her Flying Sword Technique.
He also wanted to learn it from her!
Princess Yulin opened her eyes.
Sword energy shot out from her pearl-like eyes.
Boom!
The waves rolled and swept, shaking the bay.
Princess Yulin didn’t answer.
She drew her sword and broke the array.
Torrential waves surged over, the force of the collision was powerful.
The middle-aged man looked at the surging waves and the sword energy hidden in them.
His expression was calm and placid.
He even had the time to take a sip of wine.
Then, he used his fingers as a sword and casually drew a stroke.
Clang!
A sword energy directly cut through the huge waves.
It was as if the curtain of the night had been pulled down, but it was suddenly cut off from the middle—revealing the day behind the night.
“I’ve been invincible for 3,000 years!”
“I am the successor to the path of the sword!”
“I’ve returned from the cycle of reincarnation, I will definitely bring glory to this new era.”
“You attacked with a sword in front of me, the ignorant truly are fearless. I came to this era with the vast will of the sword, but you are like a firefly flaunting its light in front of the bright moon.”
The middle-aged man looked calm, but his words were confident.
He directly declared that he was the successor to the path of the sword.
Forming a sword with his hand, he cut through the waves and extinguished the sword energy that Princess Yulin had acc.u.mulated for almost a year.
With another backhand push, the surging waves instantly vanished and calmed down.
The sea returned to its original state.
“It’s been a year, but you’ve only acc.u.mulated this much energy?”
“Of course, this outcome is completely natural. After all, you can’t compare to me…”
“I am the successor to the path of the sword. I am the favored child of the path of the sword. My father became the Millennium Sword G.o.d because he basked in my light.”
“It’s your blessing that I destroyed your sword energy!”
“Now…”
“You should tell me where you learned the Flying Sword Technique. Also, talk to me in detail as to how exactly did you cultivate in the Flying Sword Technique.”
The middle-aged man was still confident.
His words rang loud and clear. His face was full of sincerity. He didn’t doubt himself at all.
The highest realm of bragging was to make oneself believe it from the bottom of one’s heart.
Whether other people believed it or not had nothing to do with him.
In any case, for him, he was telling the truth.
“Has anyone ever told you that you are narcissistic?” Princess Yulin asked coldly.
“You think that I’m a narcissist? That’s because you haven’t reached my realm just yet. I’m just telling you the truth about myself.” The middle-aged man shook his head with an expression that seemed to insinuate that the people of the world were foolish.
“I won’t tell you where you learned the Flying Sword Technique, nor will I teach you how I cultivated it.”
“Besides, as the inheritor of the path of the sword, how come that you still need to learn the Flying Sword Technique from me?” Princess Yulin asked mockingly.
“The Flying Sword Technique is my father’s ultimate technique. Although I have countless sword techniques that can rival it—as his son—I definitely need to inherit his sword techniques.”
“Now that he’s dead, I shall show off the prowess of the Flying Sword Technique to the world for him. In your hands, the might of the Flying Sword Technique is pitifully weak.”
The middle-aged man shook his head.
“I once witnessed the full might of the Flying Sword Technique. With one stroke, the sun, moon, and stars all became a foil. In the world, only the sharpness of that one stroke existed. Nothing else mattered.”
“The Flying Sword Technique is simply a waste in your hands. You will never be able to display its true might.”
The middle-aged man lamented.
“Is this the Flying Sword Technique that you’re talking about?”
Lin Jiufeng’s voice sounded in the middle-aged man’s ear.
Clang!!!
Immediately afterwards, the middle-aged man’s expression changed drastically.
He saw a new world.
A world filled with sword energies.
A world with sword energies that resembled dragons, seas, and abysses.
With a stroke of the sword, the sun, moon, and the stars all became a foil…
Nothing mattered anymore.
