Chapter 1100: Chapter 1100
"What a formidable spiritual power!"
Xing Wuji was utterly stunned by Zhang Menglong's terrifying spiritual power.
Due to the massive gap in realm, Zhang Menglong's spiritual power, in terms of quantity, still lagged behind his; but in terms of quality, Zhang Menglong's spiritual power far surpassed his own!
It must be noted that Xing Wuji was able to successfully learn the Sword Array because the predecessor left behind not only the Sword Array manual but also a secret technique for cultivating spiritual power. His spiritual power, both in quality and quantity, exceeded that of martial artists of the same level by several times!
He could even use his spiritual power to directly control the will of weaker martial artists!
However, Zhang Menglong's spiritual power was more refined, as if it had been purified several times, removing any impurities. Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs novel•fire.net
"Are you also a Sword Array Master?" Xing Wuji exclaimed.
"No, please call me Sword Immortal!" Zhang Menglong stood with his hands clasped behind his back, exuding an air of superiority, "Sword, come!"
The ring on Zhang Menglong's finger flashed, and a long sword gleaming with a cold light hovered behind him.
"A Heavenly Grade magical weapon!" Xing Wuji displayed an envious expression. The entire Sacred Gold Kingdom had only a handful of Heavenly Grade magical weapons. Even he, a martial artist at the Heaven-breaking realm, only possessed Ninth Grade magical weapons.
But he knew that Zhang Menglong likely had more than one Heavenly Grade magical weapon, because coalescing a Sword Array required swords of the same quality!
As expected, a second sword slowly appeared, also a Heavenly Grade magical weapon.
When the tenth Heavenly Grade magical weapon appeared, Xing Wuji could no longer stay calm.
The entire Sacred Script dynasty didn't have ten Heavenly Grade magical weapons; how rich was this guy? No, this was more than just wealth.
Moreover, Zhang Menglong being able to summon ten swords meant his Sword Array was at least a Level Two Sword Array!
A Level One Sword Array could control 2 to 9 swords, a Level Two could control 10 to 99 swords, Level Three could control 100 to 999 swords, and each level multiplied the count by tenfold.
The most advanced Sword Array recorded so far was a Level Four Sword Array, and such a thing, even if it still existed, had likely been claimed by stronger organizations or dynasties on the Haotian Continent.
"You're actually a Level Two Sword Array Master!" Xing Wuji didn't know what words to use to describe his feelings; it was probably sheer envy and jealousy.
"Level Two? Are you joking?"
With Zhang Menglong's laughter, his spiritual power unexpectedly began to expand again!
A martial artist's strength can be multiplied through secret arts like the Realm King's Fist, Heavenly Fire Triple Mystery Change, or Eight Gates Dunjia; spiritual power can too!
"Swoosh swoosh swoosh!"
A dense cloud of swords appeared behind Zhang Menglong, five hundred? Eight hundred? Or a thousand?
No one had the mental focus to count, as this could already be a Level Four Sword Array, beyond their knowledge!
Earlier, Xing Wuji had been proud of showing his identity as a Sword Array Master, but now, faced with Zhang Menglong's densely packed Sword Array, the two swords behind him seemed laughably petty — they didn't even compare to a tenth of his opponent's. It was enough to drive him into despair!
"Even if you have more swords, you're just a True Martial Eighth Grade martial artist," although Xing Wuji was astonished inside, he had no reason to retreat.
"Pierce-Through Clouds Sword Array!" The two swords intertwined, forming a spiral with immense penetration and attack power, rushing at Zhang Menglong.
"Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin Technique!"
Zhang Menglong pointed a finger forward, and the thousand long swords transformed into a massive silver-white giant sword over a hundred meters long, driving forward.
The collision of the two Sword Arrays erupted into a blinding flash, and the entire Imperial City seemed to tremble under the force of this mighty conflict.
"Woo woo woo, Brother Zhang is so handsome, what Demon Spawn, today even if the Celestial King himself comes, Brother Zhang is still my Sword Immortal Brother!" You Ruo jumped excitedly like a fervent fan.
"As expected of Brother Zhang," Qi Xiu smiled, thinking how someone who casually gave away wasteland-grade martial arts techniques couldn't possibly lack more impressive treasures. Today was an eye-opener for him.
"A True Martial Eighth Grade confronting a Heaven-breaking First Realm, probably no second person can be found on the entire Haotian Continent, the Demon Spawn truly lives up to the title of Demon Spawn!" Many, though unwillingly, internally acknowledged Zhang Menglong's extraordinary strength.
With a wave of Zhang Menglong's hand, the thousand flying swords changed formation, transforming into a white tiger with fangs!
The giant claw headed for Xing Wuji's flying swords, with hundreds of Sword Qi crashing down like a waterfall upon his two swords, causing them to rock precariously like canoes on an ocean.
"Break!" A spiral force emanated from Xing Wuji's sword, finally shattering Zhang Menglong's Sword Array.
But his two swords instantly lost their luster, even covered in countless marks and nicks on the blades.
Xing Wuji stepped back three paces, while Zhang Menglong only took one step back. In this clash, Zhang Menglong remarkably had the upper hand!
"Sorry, Great Prince, I'm not his match," Xing Wuji sighed, dejectedly, "It's my incompetence that has brought disgrace to the Sacred Gold Kingdom!"
Yet, at this moment, Xing Wuji surprisingly summoned his badly damaged sword and thrust it towards his own chest.
A swiftly flying sword knocked his long sword away.
"What are you doing? This isn't called loyalty; it's called blind loyalty," Zhang Menglong said, "If you die, your dynasty will lose a general who can fight wars. That's true disloyalty!"
Xing Wuji stood there, lip twitching, as Zhang Menglong's words really hit home. He couldn't die, only cowards choose this way out.
Two Heavenly Grade magic swords lodged themselves in front of Xing Wuji.
"What do you mean by this?"
"I feel bad for damaging your treasures, so I give you two as compensation."
"Is this for real?" Everyone widened their eyes, just as he was to stop you, you're giving him swords instead?
A hundred Ninth Grade magical weapons don't compare to one Heavenly Grade magic sword. Is he out of his mind?
"Don't look at me like that, I don't have poorer quality swords, it's just two Heavenly Grade magic swords, these things are plentiful for me!"
Zhang Menglong assembled all the long swords into a bridge leading directly to the palace entrance, with a powerful Sword Qi pervading the area, leaving no one daring to approach or equipped to attempt it.
"Indeed, a Demon Spawn, today's encounter has truly expanded this old one's horizons!" A voice from an old man suddenly resounded from above the palace.
The Princes and ministers immediately kneeled down.
The earlier generations of emperors from the Sacred Gold Kingdom weren't dead yet; they had lost interest in governance, focusing only on cultivating higher in the Martial Dao Realm.
The kingdom has three Grand Emperors, one at Mystery-Breaking First Realm level, two at Heaven Breaking Third Realm — they're the strongest assets of the Sacred Gold Kingdom!
"Your Sword Array has impressed this old one, but you cannot proceed further."
"Leave behind your martial arts techniques, Sword Array, and Heavenly Grade magical weapons, and we shall let you leave safely!"
Two more voices arose.
"All three Grand Emperors, actually came out!"
Historically, no matter how great the crisis was in the kingdom, it never forced all three Grand Emperors to appear simultaneously.
"Damn! This time it seems a lot of 'cred points' need to be spent to settle this!" Zhang Menglong showed a pained expression. These old geezers should stick to being homebodies, why meddle here?
[Principal, there's actually no need for you to act personally.]
"Huh? What do you mean?"
[Principal, don't forget, this Haotian Continent is directly linked with Universe Seven as a middle-grade world. If you want to reach other middle or high-grade worlds, this is the unavoidable path. Do you think your family didn't leave anything for you here when they passed through?]
