Chapter 418 - Supreme Demon Sword
The royal family also owned three Heaven-tier techniques, and one of them was Lin Zichen’s Divine Nine Palace Step. The other two were the Imperial Sword Technique that Lin Zichen was currently using, as well as another attack technique. However, it had been destroyed by Long Chen’s Supreme Emperor Sword technique at the Counter Essence Realm.
Since Lin Zichen had cultivated the Imperial Sword Technique, he did not need that attack. Even so, it had taken him five years to master the two Heaven-tier scriptures. He knew that only about a hundred days had passed since Long Chen entered the Heavenly Demon Palace. Had he really mastered the Three Great Secret Scriptures in just a hundred days? How strong was he? Didn’t that mean that Long Chen was far more talented than Lin Zichen?
Lin Zichen was extremely smug about his talent in cultivation, so Long Chen’s performance was a huge blow to him. It was at this moment that he truly felt like Long Chen was the most difficult obstacle in his life! This duel today would definitely be a duel to the death!
Lin Zichen was not the only one who was shocked. Long Chen had been maintaining equal footing since the battle started, so Lin Batian and the others who were more familiar with Long Chen were also surprised. In terms of cultivation, Lin Zichen had always been the ultimate prodigy in the Cangyang Kingdom. Was there now a new expert who was as strong as him?
“Your Highness, do you think it’s possible for Long Chen to kill the Fourth Prince?” Qian Jiang’s voice trembled as he leaned close to Lin Batian’s ear to ask this question.
“I don’t know either. We’ll see. This battle will definitely shake up the whole Cangyang Kingdom. If Father finds out about this, he will probably jump up in shock. Lin Zichen’s talent in cultivation has always been his biggest source of pride!”
A constant stream of voices could be heard above the wall.
Below, Long Chen and Lin Zichen were still fighting intensely. Lin Zichen was indeed a difficult opponent. Long Chen was already in his peak form, but it was still not easy!
“Divine Nine Palace Step!”
Faced with Long Chen’s Demon Emperor Sword Qi, Lin Zichen moved quickly in nine directions. This technique allowed him to move extremely quickly, almost achieving a teleportation effect that even surpassed Traceless Demon Shadow. Traceless Demon Shadow’s objective was to make the user hard to pin down, but the Divine Nine Palace Step’s purpose was to dodge attacks!
Several Demon Emperor Sword Qi blades were released, but none of them struck Lin Zichen!
“Is this the legendary Demon Emperor Sword Qi? Indeed, it’s identical to my Imperial Sword Qi!” Lin Zichen let out a roar and charged at Long Chen. He raised his sword and slashed it down, and a golden blade of Sword Qi flew towards Long Chen’s head!
While moving backwards, Long Chen slashed the Demon Emperor Sword horizontally, so the Demon Emperor Sword Qi and Imperial Sword Qi collided!
Boom!
There was an explosion, and a large crater appeared where the collision took place, throwing dirt in the air. The people on the wall were stunned by the power of their attacks.
This is a true master! The people of Ginger City thought of Long Chen and Lin Zichen as deities!
Yellow sand flew in all directions, and the wind howled hysterically. Swords collided loudly again and again. Long Chen had much more Qi than Lin Zichen, so as the fight progressed, he had the advantage. Everyone was shocked as they watched Lin Zichen get forced backwards consecutively!
“You brat! You’re not going to give up until you die, are you? Today, I, Lin Zichen, will oblige. I’ll show you what a true prodigy is!” When he finished, immense amounts of Qi exploded from his body. Lin Zichen was like a bomb charging right at Long Chen. As he ran, his power increased again, and rays of golden light shot out of the sword he was holding behind him!
A ray of light that was so fast, it was almost invisible shot towards Long Chen!
The shining ray of light flashed past him!
“Imperial Sword Technique, Supreme Martial Sword!” Lin Zichen roared and attacked with all his strength as he launched the same attack he had used to kill the Dark Moon Tiger. The Sword Qi seemed to cover the whole world as it flew towards Long Chen. A deep ditch was left in its wake!
He is indeed the Young Sword Emperor. Even other Ninth River Stage cultivators like the Sword Devil could not have withstood this attack. Even though they’re both at the Ninth River Stage, Lin Zichen is much stronger than the Sword Devil.
Long Chen’s mind was calm. Lin Zichen had used his attack to its maximum potential while Long Chen remained extremely quiet. Everyone watched as he gathered all the Qi in his body while standing in the same spot and waved the Demon Emperor Sword!
“Demon Emperor Sword Technique, Supreme Emperor Sword!” A black blade of Sword Qi as strong as Lin Zichen’s Supreme Martial Sword shot up into the air, emitting a strange, black light. Then it collided with the Supreme Martial Sword. Both of these techniques were very similar in concept, and their cultivation levels were the same. However, Long Chen had more Qi, so the Supreme Martial Sword shattered!
Boom!
More explosions sounded. The sound rippled across the whole crowd. Many of the spectators were left ghostly pale from the vibrations!
“What?!” Lin Zichen was even more shocked. Since Long Chen knew both Traceless Demon Shadow and the Demon Seed Planting Technique, Lin Zichen assumed he hadn’t cultivated the Demon Sword Technique. To his surprise, Long Chen had not only mastered it, but his attack was stronger than his own!
“How is that possible? How is it possible that you’re this strong?!” Lin Zichen roared in a manic rage. The Supreme Emperor Sword technique had shattered his attack instantly! The remaining Sword Qi threw yellow sand into the sky and charged towards Lin Zichen. His face turned pale and he hurriedly used the Divine Nine Palace Step to dodge it!
“Long Chen, you’re twisting my arm! Alright, since you’re not holding back, I won’t either!” Lin Zichen was almost pushed to madness by now. He had repeatedly used his most powerful attacks, yet Long Chen had beaten him at every turn!
Lin Zichen almost vomited blood from his frustration!
However, this time, Lin Zichen was not the first to launch an attack. Under everyone’s shocked gazes, Long Chen suddenly moved so quickly that he turned into an illusion. He rushed to a spot twenty meters away from Lin Zichen. His gaze was cold and full of killing intent, and he swung the Demon Emperor Sword!
“Is he using his previous move again?” Lin Batian and the rest were frozen in shock. Their hearts rose up to their throats when they saw that Long Chen was initiating an attack. His previous move was just too terrifying. However, to their surprise, he was not using the same attack as before!
“Unless...?” Lin Zichen’s chest tightened and his pupils dilated. He used the Divine Nine Palace Step urgently to retreat thirty meters back, then he gritted his teeth and Qi erupted from his body once more. He yelled, “That’s impossible! Even I am not sure if I can use that move in a stable manner, so it’s impossible for you!”
As he shouted, he held the Imperial Sword in the same stance as Long Chen. Since both swords came from the same source, their attacks also looked similar.
The Supreme Emperor Sword Technique and the Supreme Martial Sword Technique were both the first attacks of the Demon Emperor Sword and the Imperial Sword.
Their final exchange would involve the most terrifying moves of both swords’ techniques. These moves were so powerful, they were close to the intermediate Heaven-tier!
“The final moment has arrived.” Long Chen closed his eyes slowly. He had waited too long for this moment. He had to hide for three whole months for this.
Three months. All to stand here today. He swung the Demon Emperor Sword as hard as he could!
The most powerful attacks from both sides caused even the clouds to swirl. A strong gust of wind howled once more, and an endless cloud of sand flew up all around them. Long Chen and Lin Zichen were wrapped in the center of the storm. It was the deciding moment, so the spectators couldn’t help but hold their breath and engrave every moment into their memory.
No one knew who the victor would be. This final battle had been filled with many final battles. However, one thing that had been confirmed: Long Chen was now the strongest prodigy of the Cangyang Kingdom!
Coincidentally, both of them had the character “Chen” in their names.
“Like I said before, only one of us will survive today.” Long Chen’s lips moved gently, and his eyes were closed. This was the craziest moment of the battle, but he was filled with silence. He was as calm right now as he was when he was cultivating quietly at the peak of Demon Emperor Mountain.
All of this had been taught to him by Zhao Qingyun.
White clouds. Gentle breeze. Everything was just like the peak of Demon Emperor Mountain.
Long Chen thrust his sword gently.
The sky changed colors instantly!
As if the world had shattered, the sound of terrifying explosions rang out. It was as if everything beneath Long Chen’s sword would wither and die. His attack flew towards Lin Zichen.
“Demon Emperor Sword Technique, Supreme Demon Sword!” Long Chen used the most powerful technique of the Demon Emperor Sword Technique. Everything in front of him exploded!
There was no question that he had used the Supreme Demon Sword to its maximum level. Even Zhao Qingyun couldn’t match this amount of power!
On the other side, Lin Zichen had also completed his attack. Just like Long Chen, his attack was unquestionably powerful. However, it was nothing in front of Long Chen’s almost-perfect Supreme Demon Sword!
