2328 With A Slash, The Void Cracked!

Swoosh!

The orb that was shrouded in grey flames emitted a destructive aura. It seemed like a meteorite falling from space. It shot toward Duan Ling Tian domineeringly, and the void rippled and distorted in the meteor-like orb's wake!

'At that moment when he fused with the orb, the strength of the attack had risen another level!' Duan Ling Tian thought to himself as he watched the meteor-like orb shot toward him. An idea appeared in his mind suddenly. 'This seems similar to the fourth stage of the Sovereign Heart Sword, the Sword-Heart Illumination!' He had a feeling this was an opportunity for him to break through to the fourth stage of the Supreme Sword Dao Mental Cultivation Method Sovereign Heart Sword. This feeling was ten times stronger than what he had felt previously. For this reason, he was lost in his thoughts for quite a while.

Meanwhile, the destructive meteor-like orb that was shrouded in grey flames was getting closer and closer to Duan Ling Tian. He quickly regained his senses, his heart thumping wildly in his chest, when he detected the extremely terrifying aura of the orb. When he sensed the aura, he felt pressured. It made him feel as though he was a lonely boat floating in the middle of the great sea. It felt as though he was at the mercy of the waves and would capsize at any given time.

'That's it! I've figured it out!' At the critical moment, when the orb was shooting toward Duan Ling Tian, he had an epiphany that would help him break through to the fourth stage of the Supreme Sword Dao Mental Cultivation Method Sovereign Heart Sword. He felt as though all the questions that were an obstruction to his breaking through from the third to the fourth stage of the Supreme Sword Dao Mental Cultivation Method Sovereign Heart Sword had been answered. The obstruction had disappeared!

When the destructive orb was just a hair's breadth away, Duan Ling Tian no longer felt anxious. Instead, he was strangely calm. He could hear his own heart beating in his chest at this moment.

Currently, Duan Ling Tian seemed as though he had no earthly desires and was no longer afraid of death. 'Sword-Heart Illumination!"

Time seemed to have stopped moving at this moment.

Without any warning, Duan Ling Tian began to emit a dazzlingly bright light.

Duan Ling Tian's majestic Celestial Origin Energy circulated through his 99 Saint Veins before surging out of his body and turning into countless swift and fierce-looking sword rays. At this moment, he seemed to have become part of the sword rays as well. Every fiber of his being was emitting light. The light from his body fused with the sword rays, making him look mysterious and majestic.

Yang Zhen Xing, the Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan, and Yuwen Hao Chen, the Palace Master of Wandering Saint Palace, widened their eyes in shock. It seemed as though they had seen something really terrifying. "This..."

What they saw was Duan Ling Tian disappearing before he transformed into a sword ray as well. It did not take long before the countless sword rays converged and transformed into a three-foot-long white sword that hovered in the air.

Swoosh!

When the destructive orb was about to land, the three-foot-long sword that was hovering in the air finally made a move...

When it moved, it looked like a beam of white light...

Rrippp!

The sound of something tearing rang loudly in the air. It had sounded after the sword seemed to have turned into a beam of light and shot out because light was faster than sound.

The sword slashed across the void, the sound of something tearing sounded in its wake.

It seemed as though the speed of the sword was not too fast since the two Eminent Celestials, Yang Zhen Xing and Yuwen Hao Chen, could catch its movements. They were shocked when they saw what the slash from the sword left in its wake.

Rrrip!

The clear sound of something tearing continued to reverberate in the air.

Upon closer inspection, the two Eminent Celestials saw there was a tear in the void in the wake of the three-foot-long white sword.

The tear in the void began to grow bigger and bigger at an extremely fast speed, and it moved toward the meteor-like orb. It seemed as though it was going to swallow the orb!

"Your sword tore a hole in the void? Impossible! How are you strong enough to tear a hole in the void?" A voice laden with shock and disbelief rang from the orb that was speeding toward Duan Ling Tian. Apart from shock and disbelief, a hint of fear could be heard in his voice as well. It sounded as though he had encountered something terrifying! This voice belonged to none other than Liao Nai Jiang, the Three Tribulation Bodiless Celestial!

Rrripp!

The tear in the void continued to extend toward the orb. When it reached the orb, it seemed as though the tear had moved to the orb, cracking it as well! It seemed like the three-foot-long white sword had slashed at the orb and cut it into two.

The void began to ripple and distort even more at this moment. The orb that had been cut into two was suddenly sucked into the tear in the void. It had vanished without a trace! The tear in the void was completely dark, nothing could be seen at all. That was the last time anyone saw Liao Nai Jiang, the Three Tribulation Bodiless Celestial!

Whoosh!

Meanwhile, the three-foot-long white sword flashed for a moment before it turned into a figure of a man. After the dust had settled, everyone could clearly see the figure of a man dressed in a purple robe. It was none other than Duan Ling Tian. What was even more shocking was that he was completely uninjured.

'Is… is that the Sword-Heart Illumination?' Duan Ling Tian was lost in his own thoughts at this moment. It seemed as though he was unaware of everyone's gaze. He was thinking about how he had transformed into a sword and wielded it with such precision. This was the fourth Stage of the Supreme Sword Dao Mental Cultivation Method Sovereign Heart Sword, the Sword-Heart Illumination! He had fused with the sword rays before he transformed into a sword! With just a slash, he tore a hole in the void!

At this moment, apart from Duan Ling Tian, the people present also saw the long and narrow crack in the void near him. This was a shocking sight to them! The hole in the void caused the void to ripple and distort continuously. Nothing could be seen in the crack, it was pitch black. It seemed like a dark abyss that would swallow everything that came close to it.

The scene of a man standing next to a long and narrow crack in the void was an unforgettable sight for everyone present. This scene was deeply engraved in their minds.

Most people were still in a state of shock when a sorrowful cry rang in the air.

"Master!" It was Yang Zhen Xing, the Patriarch of the Human-Devil Clan.

Yang Zhen Xing's voice snapped everyone out of their daze, and they turned to look at him.

Yang Zhen Xing had an expression of agony on his face as he looked at the broken Soul Pearl in his palm that had appeared at an unknown time and the crack in the void near Duan Ling Tian. The pain and sorrow of losing someone important could be clearly seen on his face.

"That's… The Soul Pearl belongs to Lord Patriarch's master, Liao Nai Jiang, the Three Tribulation Bodiless Celestial, right?" Someone asked in a low voice.

That person's words caused a commotion immediately.

"Senior Liao is dead?"

"How… How's this possible? He's a Three Tribulation Bodiless Celestial, and he's far stronger than an Eminent Celestial? How could he be killed by an Eminent Celestial?"

"Impossible! I think there's a mistake!"
