Chapter 460: Learned
Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma TranslationsCountless vengeful spirits dashed out toward Fang Xingjian, and all sorts of negative emotions involving death, terror, hatred, and desperation assaulted his brain. However, upon entering his consciousness, they were slashed into fragments by the magnified Heaven’s Volition Sword Intent.
The Heaven’s Volition Sword Intent seemed to treat Fang Xingjian’s entire consciousness as its territory, preventing any other force or power to enter.
Under its protection, all the waves of vengeful spirits were wiped out cleanly. Fang Xingjian was like a sharp double-edged sword, slashing his way through the waves of vengeful spirits. Then he arrived before the Darkness Demon Lord who had the Ten Directional Hell’s Flag activated at full power. Fang Xingjian went slashing with his sword, seeming as if he wanted to split the Darkness Demon Lord’s skull apart.
‘What went wrong? Why did things turn out this way? Why is the Ten Directional Hell’s Flag useless against Fang Xingjian?’ The Darkness Demon Lord bellowed inwardly as he looked at Fang Xingjian in shock and terror, watching as Fang Xingjian’s sword came slashing down. He could not understand what had happened at all.
At this life and death moment, The School of Sword Arts’ Supreme Chief, who had been watching at the side and not taken any action, finally made his move.
The moment this Demigod expert, who had achieved two tiers of perfection in his body’s toughness and his specialty seeds, took action, it was with a world shaking sword move.
A stream of sword light cut several hundred meters across the sky as if tearing the world apart. It set up a block right in front of Fang Xingjian. Then with a clank sound, it sent Fang Xingjian flying backward.
At the next moment, the Supreme Chief’s figure seemed to have completely disappeared. All that remained was the sword light encompassing Fang Xingjian, heading toward him like a meat grinder.
The Supreme Chief’s body had disappeared, leaving only stance after stance of astonishing sword moves.
Fang Xingjian had simply never heard of such sword techniques.
Every level 29 expert would condense all the things he had learned in his life into one, leading them to possess one extremely powerful Killing technique.
An example would be the one-eyed old man’s Annihilation Fist, or the Astral Obscurity Sword which the Supreme Chief was performing now. This paramount set of sword technique was a combination of the Supreme Chief’s lifelong sword arts cultivation, together with The School of Sword Arts’ ultimate technique, the <>.
In this moment, after the Astral Obscurity Sword was performed, the Supreme Chief’s body had completely disappeared. All that remained was a myriad of sword lights encompassing Fang Xingjian’s body, constantly attacking him.
Moreover, the Supreme Chief had achieved perfection in both his body’s toughness and in his specialty seeds. So, when comparing their physical bodies, his was completely above Fang Xingjian’s.
Each time Fang Xingjian fended off a beam of sword light, his vital energy and blood trembled strongly, while his bones cried out.
Every time he charged forth, he was confined by layers and layers of sword light.
And each time he swept out with his longsword, he was averted by the omnipresent sword light.
Looking at this scene, the one-eyed old man sent his martial will gushing forth, laughing madly, “Fang Xingjian, haven’t you always been proud of your sword arts? Now, you can have a taste of the Supreme Chief’s sword arts and feel what the greatest sword arts amongst the eight continents and in the world feels like.”
As he spoke, he struck out his Annihilation Fist once again, joining the ranks to attack Fang Xingjian.
The Darkness Demon Lord was breaking out in cold sweat. He was still immersed in the lingering fear from being almost killed by Fang Xingjian’s sword earlier. Then as the lingering fear gradually dissipated, what followed was rage.
“Fang Xingjian, you must die today!!”
He quickly shook the Ten Directional Hell’s Flag, causing a myriad of vengeful spirits to howl, and overwhelming auras of sulfur and lava gushed forth incessantly. In the next moment, the countless vengeful spirits all gushed into his body.
The vengeful spirits were but the information remnants left behind in a human body, and information was, in the end, just information. Rather, spirits were, in the end, just spirits.
If one wished to be able to transform consciousness into something material, then there was a need for a physical body.
Only Divine level experts would be able to break through the differences between consciousness and physical material.
As more and more vengeful spirits gushed in the Darkness Demon Lord’s body, not only did his body continue to get stronger and bigger, but many green veins also started to pop up on his head.
This was the second level of application for the Ten Directional Hell’s Flag: to strengthen the power of one’s consciousness by absorbing the endless vengeful spirits. There were many martial arts experts and second transition Knights amongst these vengeful spirits. Right now, their consciousness remnants were all used to enhance the Darkness Demon Lord’s power, and the prowess of his martial will was brought to a whole new height.
With a glare, Fang Xingjian’s body was sent flying as the sound of a bang rang out.
After being enhanced by the countless vengeful spirits, the Darkness Demon Lord’s martial will went through a qualitative change, and he was now able to interfere in the world of physical material.
Although there might be a powerful side effect and that he was facing the possible danger of becoming a lunatic, at this moment, the Darkness Demon Lord’s martial will was not only capable of being used in the enemy’ consciousness. Instead, it was like a physical substance and could affect other physical items.
