"Hmm?"
In the void ahead, Sword Wushuang’s expression changed dramatically, feeling the terror of such a strike from Ji Chen, the power clearly completely beyond his expectations.
The Floating Cloud Sword Technique, infused with two Emperor Scriptures and the Great Dao Sword Intent, exhibited a frightening degree of power, already surpassing what Sword Wushuang could withstand.
"Buzz!"
Without any hesitation, in an instant, a terrifying aura erupted from within Sword Wushuang’s body.
He activated the Profound Sword Scripture to its extre, a sharp aura surged, enveloping him completely in an instant, with spiritual power forming layers of thick energy barriers in front of him, intending to forcibly block Ji Chen’s strike.
"Boom!"
"Crack!"
This scene, while described in words, actually unfolded in just the blink of an eye.
The Floating Cloud Sword slashed downward, seemingly dragging along the montum of the entire heavens and earth, carrying an astonishing power, to strike down before Sword Wushuang’s eyes.
The explosion from the clash of incredible energies caused the void to beco considerably distorted.
The energy barriers in front of Sword Wushuang’s body crumbled instantly, unable to withstand Ji Chen’s attack, and shattered like an egg hitting a rock.
"Puff!"
The next mont, he spat out a mouthful of blood, sent flying by a terrifying force.
His face turned pale instantly, and his body flew back nearly a thousand feet before finally stopping.
At this mont, his internal breath was in chaos, directly struck into a serious injury by Ji Chen’s strike, losing the power to fight.
"I lost..."
After a brief silence, Sword Wushuang’s voice was heard.
His body trembled as he stood in mid-air, as if he might fall at any mont.
The result of this exchange was unexpected for both him and everyone present.
Clearly, no one had expected that even after activating the Profound Sword Scripture, Sword Wushuang would still pose no threat to Ji Chen, not even able to withstand a single strike from him, resulting in being seriously injured and coughing up blood.
"It’s impossible!"
Li Nan and Fang Yuan both showed expressions of shock, unable to believe or accept such a result.
They never expected that Sword Wushuang, known as the Ghost Sword, would be defeated by Ji Chen.
They thought that accompanying Sword Wushuang here today, they would surely be able to regain their dignity against Ji Chen.
Who could have predicted that after the exchange, even Sword Wushuang lost, proving no match for Ji Chen at all.
"Go back and tell the people behind you, although I don’t want to cause trouble, I’m not afraid of trouble finding . If he wants to continue entangling with , I’ll accompany him to the end."
Ji Chen’s aura gradually retracted as he said these words, casting a glance at Li Nan, Fang Yuan, and Sword Wushuang.
After leaving these words, he turned and walked back into the Qixian Residence.
The battle today had allowed Ji Chen to roughly grasp the power of the Floating Cloud Sword Technique.
It was indeed a powerful martial technique, formidable in strength. rging the Great Dao Sword Intent with the power of two Emperor Scriptures, a full-force strike could at least threaten experts at the Ninth Layer of the Void Realm!
This was undoubtedly astonishing and beyond Ji Chen’s expectations.
After all, he was presently at the Ninth Layer of the Celestial Essence Realm, yet a full-force strike could threaten an expert at the Ninth Layer of the Void Realm. Such an occurrence would be hard to believe if not witnessed firsthand.
"Though powerful, the consumption is not small for either."
He sat cross-legged in the Qixian Residence, muttering to himself.
Celestial Tier Sword Technique, Great Dao Sword Intent, combined with two Emperor Scriptures—all these trump cards displayed simultaneously may result in imnse power, but it also trendously drains Ji Chen’s spiritual power.
Just like the previous strike, at least a third of his spiritual power was expended.
It was fortunate to defeat the opponent. If it proved ineffective, the strike would have been counterproductive.
"I must concentrate on cultivating, as after today’s battle, many eyes from the Celestial Emperor’s Mansion will likely be upon . I must quickly improve my cultivation," he spoke again.
Soon, Ji Chen took out spirit crystal stones and began to cultivate in the Qixian Residence.
If he could absorb the remaining spirit crystal stones, he might be able to attempt a breakthrough to the Void Realm.
The step from the Ninth Layer of the Celestial Essence Realm to the First Layer of the Void Realm, although only a single step apart,
would signify a trendous transformation for Ji Chen if accomplished.
...
anwhile, the battle that occurred on Spirit Peak had gradually spread through the Celestial Emperor’s Mansion with the passing ti.
"Ghost Sword was defeated? Really?"
"He’s a genius who comprehended half of the Profound Sword Scripture. Moreover, he joined the Dao Peak in recent years, following Shen Yan, and helped him resolve nurous issues. Throughout the Celestial Emperor’s Mansion, there are barely a handful of Disciples at the Void Realm capable of defeating him."
"Who could have such power?"
"It’s said to be soone nad Ji Chen, who recently joined Spirit Peak, and what’s most incredible is that his cultivation seems to only be at the Ninth Layer of the Celestial Essence Realm!"
"Ninth Layer of the Celestial Essence Realm?! You’re kidding, right? That can’t be true!"
In Celestial Emperor City, in so teahouses and restaurants, many disciples began discussing.
Incidents like these happen almost daily in the Celestial Emperor’s Mansion, but rarely do they cause such a massive stir.
This ti was different, because the disparity in cultivation between the rivals was far too large.
Moreover, the most unbelievable part was that in the battle, it was the side with weaker cultivation that erged victorious.
Adding to that, the person defeated was Sword Wushuang, known as Ghost Sword, who had not been insignificant in the Celestial Emperor’s Mansion in recent years!
In an instant, this matter drew the attention of nurous disciples in the Celestial Emperor’s Mansion, who began to inquire about Ji Chen’s background.
"From the Daoxuan Star Realm?"
"In a recent assessnt, he was the first to reach the peak, breaking the fastest ti record in the assessnt’s history?"
Such statents quickly spread among the disciples.
"It seems this Ji Chen is not to be underestimated. He even defeated Ghost Sword, no wonder I lost to him in the previous assessnt." In a corner of Celestial Peak, Zhuge Cheng heard the news, feeling complicated inside.
During the recent entrance assessnt, he lost to Ji Chen, a fact he couldn’t reconcile with—how soone at rely the Ninth Layer of the Celestial Essence Realm could surpass him.
It now appeared he had severely underestimated his opponent.
To defeat Ghost Sword with strength at the Ninth Layer of the Celestial Essence Realm suggests that Ji Chen’s true power far exceeds the imagination of many.
