Chapter 355: Chapter 355, Sword Pattern
In half a year, his cultivation broke through from the True Dao Fifth Layer to the peak of the True Dao Seventh Heaven, breaking through two layers. It seemed like little progress, but this was only because Chu Ming had numerous fortuitous encounters, otherwise, the time required would have been at least two or three times longer.
A martial artist’s cultivation hinges on four elements: a partner, land, techniques, and wealth. Among them, techniques and wealth are the most important. There is a significant difference in the resources and training received by a sect disciple and a rogue martial artist right from the start.
Sitting cross-legged on the back of a flying Sky Eagle, Chu Ming rummaged through his storage ring and took out the black sword gang remains, beginning a careful study.
The Void Sword Intent flowed quietly on the sword gang remains. If Chu Ming guessed correctly, the owner of these remains should have been a Life and Death Realm King who had comprehended the Void Sword Intent.
As soon as the sword gang remains appeared, the surrounding space rippled and twisted, as if it would be pushed away at any moment.
The sword patterns on the remains were so dense that they couldn’t be seen with the naked eye. Chu Ming had no choice but to wrap the remains with his soul power and observe them carefully.
The Sky Eagle soared high, Sweep Cloud, rapidly transforming into a sea of clouds that flew past Chu Ming, and the sword patterns on the sword gang remains seemed to open a door to the Void Sword Dao for him.
There were a total of ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine sword patterns on the sword gang remains. Each pattern seemed independent, but mysteriously, they seemed to follow a certain rule, combining organically.
As time passed, Chu Ming became immersed in the Void Sword Dao, intoxicated. A trace of void intent seeped out from within him, causing the air to ripple like water.
At the same time, in the sea of souls, a small green sword representing the Void Sword Intent was slowly taking shape.
The Three Thousand Sword Dao, leading to the same destination by different paths. In fact, observing the sword patterns not only allowed Chu Ming to comprehend the Void Sword Intent, but also significantly advanced his Slaughter Sword Intent and Immortal Sword Intent.
Observing the sword patterns was like watching the path of a Life and Death Realm King swordsman, allowing him to absorb a lot of experience and avoid many detours.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
On the third day, virtual sword essence solidified around Chu Ming, filled with a piercing aura!
Swoosh!
Thud...
Chu Ming gently pointed his finger, and a Void Sword Blade instantly shot out from behind him, striking a nearby mountain peak with a thunderous roar. A deep scar spread for a hundred meters, causing smoke and dust to rise, and demon beasts fled in panic.
Huff!
In three days, the embryonic form of the Void Sword Intent had completed its transformation, and he had only studied over a thousand of the sword patterns on the sword gang remains, which was just one percent. It was not hard to imagine that his Void Sword Intent was about to enter a period of rapid improvement.
The Celestial Travel Sect was soon approaching, and its outline could be faintly seen.
Three hours later, Chu Ming returned to the Celestial Travel Sect, and the first thing he did was to return the Sky Eagle. Fortunately, nothing happened to the Sky Eagle; otherwise, the compensation needed just in contribution points alone would have given him a headache.
Then, he flew directly towards the Celestial Hall. The task of eradicating the Demonic Organization was directly assigned by Yan Nanxing to him, and before this, he didn’t know what the reward for the task would be.
Swoosh!
At this moment, a towering aura suddenly erupted from his side, and a young man in a black robe appeared in front of him. His eyes were cold, but deep within, an uncontrollable fighting spirit was evident.
It was Mo Ling!
"Chu Ming, fight me!"
Boom!
Mo Ling roared, and a burst of jade color erupted from under his skin, transforming into a beam of light that shot straight into the clouds. The tremendous aura attracted many disciples.
A flash of surprise crossed Chu Ming’s eyes. Half a year had passed, and Mo Ling had already broken through to the Guiyuan Realm. His vitality was fierce as a dragon, and a low roaring sound like flame and thunder faintly emanated from behind him.
"Make your move!"
Chu Ming said calmly, placing his right hand lightly on the hilt of the Conjugate Sword. Though he had not drawn the sword, the sword momentum was slowly building.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Streams of light flashed, vaguely revealing figures in white. These disciples were attracted by Mo Ling’s aura, most of them being ordinary disciples.
However, not far away, three figures stood out like cranes among chickens, their eyes all fixed on Chu Ming and Mo Ling.
"Senior Brother Hua Dong, is Senior Brother Mo Ling really that strong? Even you are not his match?"
A handsome true disciple, seemingly disbelieving, asked.
"If Chu Ming hasn’t made significant progress, he will surely be defeated!"
Hua Dong took a deep breath and said slowly. Although he didn’t want to believe it, Mo Ling was stronger than him, which was an indisputable fact.
"That ruthlessness of Mo Ling, perhaps only Liu Feng can compete with him!"
Hua Dong’s gaze fell on the indifferent young man beside him, showing a trace of admiration in his eyes.
With many true disciples advancing to the Guiyuan Realm, there were several vacant positions in the top ten true disciples, and Liu Feng was one of the newly promoted top ten true disciples.
A month ago, Mo Ling was also one of the top ten true disciples, but today, he had successfully advanced to the Guiyuan Realm, making all three of them sigh.
Boom!
"Black Jade Sea Breaker!"
Although Mo Ling had already advanced to the Guiyuan Realm, he did not underestimate Chu Ming in the slightest. On the contrary, he placed significant importance on Chu Ming.
Mo Ling’s body stretched like a fearsome Black Eagle, quickly pouncing towards Chu Ming. His right fist roared out, like great waves crashing against the shore, a black vortex tearing through, spiritual power vanishing, and airwaves surging.
Slash!
A dazzling Sword Light burst from Chu Ming’s sword!
The Slaughter Sword Intent erupted!
The Immortal Sword Intent erupted!
The Void Sword Intent erupted!
The three sword intents intertwined, red, yellow, and green, their roar resounding as they shot directly towards Mo Ling.
Mo Ling had clearly made considerable progress. His original trump cards had now become ordinary techniques.
Crack!
The black vortex shattered instantly, turning to void. Mo Ling’s expression remained unchanged; if Chu Ming couldn’t even take one of his strikes, it would be too disappointing.
"Black Jade·Star Breaker!"
Mo Ling’s right arm drew a bow-like motion. This punch wasn’t overwhelmingly powerful like before but carried an extreme stillness. The destructive force within was enough to seriously injure a Guiyuan Realm Third Layer expert.
Swoosh!
Chu Ming’s eyes were bright and clear, his finger thrust forward, and a faint trace of Sword Qi directly struck Mo Ling’s fist.
Bang!
Mo Ling’s body shuddered, shock flickering in his eyes, and then he was forced to retreat dozens of steps.
"I lost!"
Mo Ling was slightly disappointed. Geniuses were proud. He originally thought that by breaking into the Guiyuan Realm first, he could defeat Chu Ming. However, he now realized how foolish his thought was.
