Chapter 737: Sword Sea Horizon
Half a month later, Li Fuchen didn’t manage to create the first move of the Primary Extreme Sword Art, but he did increase the Primary Extreme Sword Technique to the 41st rank.
If Li Fuchen had to fight the Sword Rain Great Emperor again, he was 100% certain he could kill the Sword Rain Great Emperor.
A few days later, the group arrived in the vicinity of Cottage River City, however Li Fuchen wasn’t planning to enter the city.
It was too dangerous to enter any city in the River Province. Entering a city was the same as to enter the enemy’s territory. Outside the city, Li Fuchen didn’t fear anyone below saints.
If he was to enter a city, it had to be outside of the River Province.
Once the Primary Extreme Sword Technique was at the 41st rank, Li Fuchen finally had a little inspiration.
The Primary Extreme Sword Technique was the roots of the Primary Extreme Sword Art. The better the roots, the easier it was to grow a st.u.r.dy tree.
Inside the cultivation room, Li Fuchen used his fingers as the sword as he involuntarily practiced the sword moves.
After a long practice, there was a burst of inspiration as Li Fuchen pointed at the void.
The point didn’t use any sword energy or sword intent. It was just a simple point.
But for Wu Zhuo who had the innate 9-star sword dao bone frame, he felt as though there was a ripple in the heaven and earth’s sword dao law. It was seemingly resonating to Li Fuchen’s finger.
“Such an incredible sword art!” Wu Zhuo had eyes of worship.
…
Wu Clan…
“A bunch of wastrels!”
After knowing that the Sword Rain Great Emperor was defeated and Wu Xinhai had died miserably, Wu Chengkang was enraged.
“Leave this matter to me! I am rather interested in that swordsman. He might allow my sword dao to go onto the next level.” By the side, Sword Extinction, Wu Chengjue said.
“Alright, I shall leave this matter to you. This is the soul compa.s.s, even if they can escape to the end of the world, they cannot escape the soul compa.s.s’ tracking.”
Wu Chengkang handed a palm-sized metallic disk to Wu Chengjue.
Wu Chengkang was meticulous and when he decided to seize the authority, he had already done something to the Wu Clan’s array. He obtained a strand of qi presence from all members of the Wu Clan. With the strand of qi presence, no one would be able to escape.
After keeping the soul compa.s.s, Wu Chengjue vanished and transmitted a message to Wu Chengkang. “Three months later, I will bring their heads back.”
…
“Primary Extreme Sword Art, the sword art that is closest to the sword dao source, the ultimate state. The first move has to set an intent, otherwise, it will affect the other sword moves later on.”
The setting of intent might seem unimportant, but it affected the direction and upper limits of the sword art.
One must not set the intent mindlessly. If the first move of the Primary Extreme Sword Art had the power to destroy the universe, it would be too high in standard and unrealistic. The creation difficulty would reach an unimaginable level. With Li Fuchen’s current sword dao achievements, it was simply impossible.
Therefore, when setting the intent for the first move, it mustn’t be too high in standard and had to be precise.
Without this problem, Li Fuchen would already have created the first move of the Primary Extreme Sword Art.
It was fortunate that with the sword heart, Li Fuchen would constantly be connected with the heaven and earth’s sword dao law. Whenever a slight inspiration gathered in his mind, he would deduce it within his spirit soul, allowing his thoughts to be clear.
On this day, Li Fuchen pointed with his finger again, causing an intense ripple in the sword dao law.
Wu Zhuo’s eyes lit up. With his acute sensitivity towards sword dao, he had a feeling that his master’s sword dao proficiency was getting higher. At the moment earlier, he had a feeling that he had already left the original world and arrived in a sword dao world. It was a pure sword dao world and there was a boundless horizon that was ma.s.sive and majestic.
The Void Heaven Sword World wasn’t considered a pure sword dao world, because it contained the void law.
A pure sword dao world would only have sword dao law and nothing else.
Li Fuchen’s first move of the Primary Extreme Sword Art had the intent of a world, using the world as a source.
One week… two weeks…
Inside Li Fuchen’s mind, there were countless sword arts swirling around and countless sword dao laws interweaving.
It was still rather far from the creation of the first move of the Primary Extreme Sword Art, therefore, the sword dao qi presence leaked out and actually caused all sorts of phenomenon.
There were people who saw the peak-grade silver airship turning into a giant flying sword.
There were people who saw a mirage.
There were people who saw a sea of swords.
“Primary Extreme Sword Art, unrestricted and unbounded. Return the origin to the source, a world within a world.”
On this day, Li Fuchen suddenly opened both his eyes while overwhelming sword light burst out from his eyes.
Swish!
Li Fuchen flew out of the silver airship and arrived at the sea of clouds.
At this moment, countless sword arts combined into one in his mind. Countless sword dao laws made a complete law. A shocking sword intent burst out causing the sky to change in color. The sun and moon turned dim and sword dao law from a few thousand miles were all surging towards Li Fuchen.
Swish!
Li Fuchen drew his Joint-Heaven Sword and thrust at the void.
There were sounds of countless sword slashes coming from the void. It felt as though there was a tsunami of swords.
The entire place suddenly turned into a sword dao world. The heaven and earth law of the Saint Spirit Continent withdrew temporarily.
The heaven and earth law of the Saint Spirit Continent was extremely firm, making it withdraw was more than 100 times more difficult than on the Emperor Sky Continent.
While sensing countless sword dao laws appearing and vanishing, Li Fuchen lowered his head and went into deep contemplation. He then slowly raised his head, “This move shall be called Sword Sea Horizon!”
The Sword Sea Horizon was a pure sword dao world, this was something that the Void Heaven Sword World couldn’t compare with.
With the Primary Extreme Sword Technique and Primary Extreme Sword Art, Li Fuchen believed that his strength had doubled by the very least. If he was to fight with the Sword Rain Great Emperor again, he had absolute confidence he could kill the Sword Rain Great Emperor instantly.
“Congratulations to the master for reaching the completion of sword dao.”
When Li Fuchen returned to the silver airship, Wu Xi and Wu Zhuo quickly congratulated him.
Li Fuchen smiled and said, “It isn’t considered completion. It is just sub-completion.”
In order to reach the completion of sword dao, one would need to create a heaven cla.s.s peak-tier sword art. Even saints had a very hard time to create a heaven cla.s.s peak-tier martial art. If any saint possessed a heaven cla.s.s peak-tier martial art, the saint would be considered extremely powerful.
Generally speaking, saints were merely closer to the extremity of martial dao.
“Benefactor Li’s sword dao innate talent is too high. Even if the Wu Clan’s no.1 expert, Sword Extinction, Wu Chengjue is probably inferior. Only the sword dao great emperors in the top rankings could contest with Benefactor Li.” The Barbaric Peak Great Emperor was deeply moved and also spirited.
With Li Fuchen around, there was really no need to be afraid of Wu Chengjue.
As they spoke of the devil, Wu Chengjue really caught up after one month.
“Do you think you can leave after taking my Wu Clan’s peak-grade silver airship?”
A figure with a straight figure stood in front of the peak-grade silver airship.
“Sword Extinction, Wu Chengjue.” The Barbaric Peak Great Emperor’s expression changed.
Li Fuchen flew out from the silver airship. “You are Wu Clan’s no.1 expert?”
He was able to create the Primary Extreme Sword Art’s first move, Sword Sea Horizon was mainly due to the inspiration he obtained from Sword Rain Great Emperor, Wu Yu. Right now, there was a stronger opponent in Sword Extinction, Wu Chengjue, Li Fuchen was naturally excited.
“Surrender now while you have the chance.”
Wu Chengjue stood with his hands behind his back. His narrow eyes were emitting a cold radiance.
“Surrender? You are overestimating yourself. I wonder if the Wu Clan can continue being so haughty after I kill you.”
Li Fuchen could leave the Sword Rain Great Emperor alive, but he would definitely kill Wu Chengjue, even if he had to use his body refinement strength.
If Li Fuchen didn’t guess wrongly, the Wu Clan definitely obtained the qi presences of the Barbaric Peak Great Emperor and the others. Even if they escaped to the end of the world, the Wu Clan would still be able to find them. Since that was the case, Li Fuchen would have to sever the Wu Clan’s sharpest sword.
“You still don’t know you are near death. Time for you to die.”
Wu Chengjue could see that Li Fuchen was very powerful. In fact, since Li Fuchen could defeat the Sword Rain Great Emperor, Wu Yu, it meant that Li Fuchen’s strength was already closely matched with Wu Chengjue. However, a 283rd rank great emperor and a top 100 ranked great emperor had a difference that was greater than anyone could imagine. If Wu Chengjue was willing, he could take the Sword Rain Great Emperor’s life within 100 moves.
There was an additional sword that suddenly appeared, Wu Chengjue brandished his sword and shot out countless sword lights at Li Fuchen.
These sword lights were filled with sword intents that could devastate everything. They felt like sword lights from h.e.l.l.
As soon as an expert made a move, the expert would know if it was enough to end the battle.
Li Fuchen’s eyes lit up as he also brandished his sword.
Cling Clang Cling Clang…
There were sounds of cracking in the void. The place in between the duo was turned into ruins of law, turning everything into nothingness.
Li Fuchen and Wu Chengjue who stood at the edge of the ruins looked as though they were sword G.o.ds as they stood there motionlessly.
Wu Chengjue stared intently at Li Fuchen and said, “No wonder you can win Wu Yu. But your strength is still not enough. I shall let you know why I, Wu Chengjue, is known as Sword Extinction. No Life No Death, Unbounded Ruthlessness.”
Wu Chengjue’s artifact sword swirled around and it felt as though he had turned into a sword. Countless horrifying sword lights were shot out from his body, causing his entire body to glow.
Without a doubt, Wu Chengjue’s sword dao was at the extremity.
However, both individuals who were at the extremity could still have an immense difference in strength.
It was normal for the difference to be a few hundred or a few thousand times.
Take speed for an example. At the start, it was easy to increase it at first, but nec at the extremity, each second faster would mean an untouchable difference.
“Come then.”
After creating the first move of the Primary Extreme Sword Art, Sword Sea Horizon, Li Fuchen’s sword dao had definitely improved significantly. All his previous sword moves had reached a new level. When seeing Wu Chengjue’s sword move, Li Fuchen’s sword shivered and countless illusions appeared. Immediately after, countless meteors burst out.
Sword move – Meteor Fall.
As the sword lights and meteors clashed, Li Fuchen and Wu Chengjue’s figures clashed together too.
The Barbaric Peak Great Emperor and the others were still able to see something during the fight between Li Fuchen and the Sword Rain Great Emperor. However, they couldn’t see anything in this current fight between Li Fuchen and Wu Chengjue. If they closed their eyes, they could only hear constant clashes. Those were the sounds of sword dao laws getting broken.
The duo were frenziedly slicing up each other’s sword dao law while searching for a flaw.
“No Life No Death, Rebirth Extinguish.”
At the peak of the battle, Wu Chengjue burst out with a kill move. Within the chaotic void, a bright sword halo appeared. Just by the sight of the sword halo, the Barbaric Peak Great Emperor and the others felt their vitality getting drained while their spirit souls were getting weaker.
This was a sword of absolute kill. Once the halo caught hold of the enemy, life and death couldn’t be controlled.
“Sword Sea Horizon.” A clear voice echoed and the sword halo suddenly vanished.
In the next moment, the Barbaric Peak Great Emperor saw countless blood wounds on Wu Chengjue’s body.
“This?” The Barbaric Peak Great Emperor’s eyes widened.
Wu Xi and Wu Zhuo clenched their fists tightly as they were awed by their master’s strength.
