A sword. A sword suspended above the Heavenly Book, a black sword of destruction.
Although it was merely an illusory shadow, when Lin Feng saw this sword, his heart pounded violently.
This was a true sword—silent, sharp, proud. Its sword intent was battle, destruction, the annihilation of all things. It was as if no one could block this sword; with the sword present, all things perished.
Lin Feng had never imagined that the mere shadow of a sword could shake one's soul so deeply, as if it were born for destruction, existing for battle.
"If I could comprehend the sword intent of this sword shadow, I would surely achieve unity of man and sword. Man is the sword; when the man moves, the sword moves, destroying everything."
A thought arose in Lin Feng's mind, a very genuine thought. Although he currently used a sword and was considered skilled by many, after seeing this sword, Lin Feng realized he was not yet a true sword cultivator. Only when his sword could reach such a level would he be considered a genuine sword cultivator.
He took a deep breath, then exhaled. All of this took time to describe, but it was merely a single thought in Lin Feng's mind, completed in an instant.
To outsiders, Lin Feng at this moment appeared to have his eyes closed, standing there motionless, as if severely injured, or perhaps gathering his momentum.
Everyone wanted to see how Lin Feng, who had chosen to fight without hesitation, would battle Black Demon.
No one doubted Lin Feng's determination, because at this moment, a fierce sword intent was blooming from his body, his battle intent soaring to the heavens. Even more shocking was that, even with his eyes closed, this battle intent continued to surge wildly, growing stronger and stronger.
Beyond battle intent, there was also the intent of destruction.
"Such a tenacious character, such a proud man."
The crowd's hearts trembled silently. At a time like this, for Lin Feng to still possess such battle intent was unbelievable.
However, at this moment, on the viewing platform, Yu Chou and the leader of the Nie Clan frowned slightly. No, Lin Feng's battle intent shouldn't be this strong, and it was still rising. Even at his peak earlier, Lin Feng hadn't possessed such vast and powerful battle intent and destruction intent.
"He... is comprehending!"
The two suddenly realized something, their gazes trembling. In the midst of battle, Lin Feng had actually achieved enlightenment?
Second Prince Duan Wuya and Long Ding also stared intently at Lin Feng, sensing the ever-strengthening battle intent. A strange light flickered in both their eyes.
Comprehension. At a time like this, Lin Feng was actually comprehending.
"Yan'er, kill him quickly."
At this moment, the leader of the Nie Clan spoke, causing Black Demon, who had also been staring at Lin Feng, to freeze. He stepped forward, once again advancing toward Lin Feng.
"Boom!"
A terrifying aura erupted fiercely from Lin Feng's body. The boundless battle intent and annihilation intent seemed to merge with Lin Feng's aura. In an instant, a surging wave of energy burst forth from Lin Feng. Around his body, a wild, violent wind naturally swept up, causing his tattered robes to flutter without wind, exuding an air of unrestrained elegance.
"He broke through!"
The crowd's eyes widened as they silently watched this shocking scene. The aura radiating from Lin Feng belonged to a Sixth Layer of Spirit Martial Realm expert, not the Fifth Layer.
Lin Feng had comprehended in battle and broken through in battle.
Black Demon's expression changed at the sight. He suddenly stepped forward, appearing before Lin Feng in an instant, his palm carrying black flames as he struck toward Lin Feng.
At that very moment, Lin Feng's eyes snapped open. A dazzling, brilliant light pierced Black Demon's eyes, causing him to squint slightly. When he opened his eyes again, his palm strike had missed, and Lin Feng's figure was already ten meters away.
Looking into Lin Feng's eyes, Black Demon felt a sense of irritation rising within him, losing the reckless, unstoppable momentum he had possessed earlier.
A Fifth Layer of Spirit Martial Realm Lin Feng had been that powerful, nearly taking his life. How terrifying would Lin Feng be after breaking through to the Sixth Layer of Spirit Martial Realm?
"You have already lost."
Lin Feng looked at Black Demon and spoke calmly, causing Black Demon's gaze to freeze.
"You no longer dare to face me. You've even lost the courage to fight, attempting to attack while I was still awakening. Black Demon, if you earned my respect not long ago, now you are thoroughly a failure. You no longer have the qualifications to fight me."
Lin Feng's eyes were filled with an overbearing, domineering intent. His battle intent remained at its peak, overwhelming everything.
Black Demon's heart trembled slightly as he stared at Lin Feng without answering. In truth, as Lin Feng had said, his heart had indeed wavered, losing the momentum to shatter everything. The sword Lin Feng had thrust into his body had crushed his confidence and destroyed his pride.
"Yan'er, he is breaking down your battle intent. Don't fall for it."
From the viewing platform, the Nie Clan member reminded him again, causing Black Demon's heart to jolt. Then, he saw the mocking smile on Lin Feng's lips.
"Whether I am breaking down your battle intent or not, you have to admit that just now, your heart wavered. That alone is enough."
With that, Lin Feng stepped forward. Both his battle intent and annihilation intent surged wildly.
"Sword."
Lin Feng shouted softly, and in his hand, a sword shadow materialized, suspended there. This sword was black—a sword of battle, a sword of destruction.
"Qi condensation into substance."
The crowd's eyes trembled. How was this possible? How could Lin Feng achieve qi condensation into substance? Only powerful true essence released by Mysterious Martial Realm experts could condense into a sword to slay enemies.
Lin Feng, even after breaking through, was still only at the Sixth Layer of Spirit Martial Realm. How could he possibly achieve qi condensation into substance?
"No, this is not qi condensation into substance. It's a martial technique of his, or rather, a form of comprehension."
Some experts on the viewing platform understood, and their hearts trembled as well. Although it wasn't qi condensation into substance, this was even more terrifying. Relying on comprehension rather than a martial soul, he could actually manifest an illusory sword. Moreover, on this illusory sword, there was such fierce destruction intent and battle intent. If one day Lin Feng could truly achieve true essence condensation into substance and manifest a real sword, its power would be extremely terrifying.
Lin Feng himself also sensed the flaw in this sword. Relying on a sliver of comprehension, he had managed to manifest a faint outline of the sword suspended above the Heavenly Book, but it was still far from enough. His strength and comprehension were both insufficient.
A flash of light, and Lin Feng drew the flexible sword from his waist. The illusory sword he had manifested merged with this blade. The burning battle intent and annihilation intent filled heaven and earth.
"Black Demon, receive my sword."
Lin Feng uttered a sound, his body trembling slightly as he transformed into a phantom.
Earth-grade martial technique, Shadowless Strike, Kill.
On the battle platform, that string of afterimages was blurry and indistinct. Only that sword remained, its sword intent blazing.
Black Demon stared fixedly at that sword—a sword charging forward without hesitation, without any flourish. It was the same as the sword that had pierced his body earlier, but stronger. The sword intent was stronger, the battle intent stronger, and the annihilation intent stronger as well.
This sword fused the earth-grade martial technique Shadowless Strike, his comprehension of subtlety, and his understanding of that sword.
Looking at this sword, Black Demon suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness. This seemingly ordinary sword was incredibly fast, arriving in an instant, thrusting straight toward his heart.
"Black Lotus."
Black Demon roared. His surging martial soul erupted once more, and a massive lotus vortex condensed before him, blocking the way.
However, when Lin Feng's sword arrived, the lotus vortex was pierced through in an instant. This sword was a sword of certain death.
"Not good. Yan'er is in danger." The leader of the Nie Clan stood up the moment Lin Feng thrust his sword. Ignoring everything else, his body shot directly toward the battle platform at incredible speed, while an immensely powerful aura descended upon Lin Feng, suppressing him.
With his strength, how could he not sense how terrifying the power of Lin Feng's sword was?
"I did not interfere. You are not allowed to interfere either."
As the Nie Clan member moved, that holy white figure stepped into the void. An aura of freezing ice surged toward the Nie Clan member, causing his expression to change drastically. Yan'er was in grave danger!
"Brat, stop right there!"
Just then, as Lin Feng's sword pierced through the lotus vortex, a domineering voice thundered directly in Lin Feng's eardrums, causing his heart to tremble as well.
