99 Heavenly Swords Strikes

The shining swords around Ling Tian surprised everyone when they started killing everyone on the place, whether they were just spectators, disciples or elders.

"Intruder!"

"The Sect is being attacked!"

"Warn everyone to come here!"

"The hall of discipline, let them come quickly!"

The exclamations filled the huge place, when little by little they began to go towards where Ling Tian was, wanting to get on the stage.

Several old men arrived and began to direct all their energies to their swords, starting to create dozens and hundreds of swords in the sky.

The number of swords filled the sky, with more than thousands of swords heading towards where Ling Tian was.

* Fifth Strike - 99 Heavenly Swords *

Ling Tian had performed the Fifth Strike of this skill, summoning 99 swords around him.

Although he could have executed the Sixth Strike so that the Heavenly Swords would have their own intelligence, Ling Tian decided not to do so as it would consume too much Spiritual Energy and drain his Consciousness Sea, so he did not want to do that.

The 99 Heavenly Swords around Ling Tian were so bright and exuded so much power, while the thousands of swords the old men had summoned to heaven were barely noticeable and lost in appearance and strength.

It was a battle of quality versus quantity.

* SWOOSH!!! *

* BOOM!!! *

* WOOSH!!! *

* BOOM!!! *

* SWOOSH!!! *

The swords filled the sky, with Ling Tian's swords being the most striking as they moved.

The swords clashed and clashed with each other, instantly disappearing and exploding the power that each one had.

But Ling Tian's swords never disappeared, crossing the world of swords in the sky, making the other swords explode and burst because they could not stand the pressure they were carrying.

The old men saw this and were surprised, so they didn't hesitate to call up more swords to keep filling up the numbers.

Ling Tian was furious and brought back only one sword, and with that same sword he quickly killed one by one all those who were there.

The difference between this technique of a thousand swords and his own is that with this technique one could summon up to a thousand swords in a single round, but this would obviously divide the power equally among all the swords, in order to have a balance before this.

That is why the more swords one summons, the more the resistance and power of these swords would be reduced.

On the other hand, the technique of the <99 Heavenly Swords>, was a superior skill, only below the immortal techniques, where one could be able to summon only 99 swords, but these swords would not be divided into power and strength, so each of them would have the same power that the cultivator has.

The First Strike would consist of summoning 5 Heavenly Swords and is successfully concluded in the state of the Establishment of the Foundation.

The Second Strike would consist of summoning 15 Heavenly Swords and is successfully concluded in the state of the Golden Core.

The Third Strike would consist of summoning 30 Heavenly Swords and is successfully concluded in the state of the Nascent Soul.

The Fourth Strike would consist of summoning 49 Heavenly Swords and is successfully concluded in the state of Body Condensation.

One could execute subsequently from the First to the Fourth Strike and obtain the 99 Heavenly Swords, but they would have to execute in order the Strikes.

If one wants directly to have the 99 Heavenly Swords in one movement, then the Fifth Strike should be performed.

The Fifth Strike consists of directly creating 99 Heavenly Swords, and could only be successfully performed from the state of Separation and Reunion.

Until the Fifth Strike only the force of the Immortal Essence is used to create them, and from the following strike a combination of the Immortal Essence with the Spiritual Energy of the Consciousness Sea would be used.

The Sixth Strike consists of awakening 99 Heavenly Swords along with pseudo-spirit in each sword and could be successfully performed in the state of the Great Ascension.

This Strike would be sustained by the Spiritual Energy of the cultivator and would have a 'spirit' of its own in each sword, so they would relentlessly chase the target and attack from all angles without one having to command them.

But because a lot of Spiritual Energy is consumed, that is why it can only be done from the realm of the Great Ascension, as one's Consciousness Sea is more grown up.

The 6 Strikes of the <99 Heavenly Swords> are powerful and primordial that appeared on the jade tablets, but when Ling Tian continued to study them thoroughly, he understood that there were 3 mysterious and profound Strikes...

But for this, one would have to form one's own will and understand the way of the Sword.

Ling Tian had understood only a little of the mysteries of this technique before discarding it when he had ascended to the Immortal World.

Now he felt that he was beginning to see beyond the mountains each time he performed these Strikes.

Ling Tian turned and looked at the woman who had fainted in the arms of the young man he had brought with him.

Scanning her body, Ling Tian found that her vitality was drying up and in a very short time she would die!

Ling Tian didn't have any wonderful medicine to cure her, besides, what medicinal treasure could cure someone who was about to die?

The Shining Heavenly Swords kept moving everywhere, crashing and following against the other weak swords that only kept appearing in the sky but in less quantity.

Ling Tian had a clear advantage over this but had his concentration at the limit by controlling all the swords.

The elders of the sect were dying every time Ling Tian waved his left arm.

The buildings were not spared and were also gradually destroyed by the Ling Tian Heavenly Swords.

Ling Tian would not forgive this place and destroyed everything that entered his vision and spirit sense, even causing the mountains to shake slightly as they were gradually destroyed .

The sky was lit up again, when the swords appeared in less quantity than before.

The 99 Heavenly Swords of Ling Tian kept destroying every 'sword' in their path, even more than 10 swords would combine into one to face a Heavenly Sword but would end up being destroyed in the end without any success.

The bodies began to pile up at the site, with the river of blood gradually forming.

Hundreds of bodies continued to fall in time, while the place began to stink of blood as everything was stained red...

In one of those, when one of his Heavenly Swords destroyed a building, Ling Tian felt the slight alteration of the place, so he sent his spirit sense there.

"Teleportation Array?!"

Ling Tian realized that this teleportation formation was much larger and in better condition than the one in Star City!

Quickly observing the types of patterns that appeared on its surface, Ling Tian was surprised for a moment before taking out a small metal plate and sending it into that formation, burying it in the middle in a small hole there. That way, no one would notice it.

Ling Tian then turned his attention to the unconscious woman and the young man who was still holding her in his arms.

This woman's condition was clearly falling as time went on, and if he didn't do something, she would end up dying...

But Ling Tian had nothing to give her!

HUH?!

Just as Ling Tian was feeling increasingly helpless and distressed, he remembered one thing.

<Celestial Spring Yin Lake!>

Ling Tian remembered that under this lake was this natural treasure, and if the description Yun Mengxin had given him matched what he knew, then there was a way to save her!

But before that they had to return to the Divine Star Continent!

Suddenly, when Ling Tian was about to approach to take the young man and woman, a powerful pressure spread throughout the place.

Ling Tian felt that he was beginning to feel heavy, but there was no problem.

However, the young man seemed to faint when the pressure covered him and he fell sideways, still not letting go of the dying woman from his arms.

A man appeared in front of Ling Tian with a large sword, when without warning, he attacked Ling Tian while summoning several swords behind him.

Ling Tian snorted coldly when he saw that this man was aiming at Qing Shan in his right arm, so he pulled out the spear he had previously held and with his left arm receiving the impact, he deflected the sword attack while the swords the man had summoned were being countered with his Heavenly Swords.

"Now this guy will slow me down!" Ling Tian complained when he saw this guy, probably the Sect Master.

His level of cultivation was in the Peak Stage of the Nascent Soul.

Ling Tian directed all of his swords at this man and managed to push him back several feet.

Using much of his Spiritual Energy and Immortal Essence, Ling Tian broke the space, creating a spatial crack.

Taking the pair of unconscious and covering them with his aura, Ling Tian leaped into the space crack and went into the void.

Ling Tian entered the Void again, beginning to feel that familiar feeling of having been in this place for some time.

Soon, Ling Tian began to perceive something of his aura.

Ling Tian smiled with relief as he confirmed that the small world of the Divine Star Continent was indeed close to where he was now.

Following the trail to the Divine Star Continent, Ling Tian was able to see the root of this world, but before that, he felt the presence of the man from before!

It seemed that the man had followed him into the void without thinking when he had withdrawn his Heavenly Swords!

"You are looking for death!"

Ling Tian clenched his teeth when he made five shining swords appear and sent them to the man.

* First Strike - 5 Heavenly Swords *

The man defended himself and also summoned his own swords, wanting to counteract the shining swords of Ling Tian with large quantities.

"Shit!"

Space began to shake, which shook Ling Tian and worried him.

If a void flow was created, Qing Sha and the other two would not be able to endure it and they would die instantly!

Ling Tian left the place but did not leave the root of the small world.

Feeling the aura becoming more and more sensitive, Ling Tian blinked several times as he felt the Space Law of this world begin to feel like the little streams of the void.

If he tried to tear the space, then he could alter this world much more...

Ling Tian didn't want to risk tearing up the space to enter when with his spirit sense he felt a weak connection connecting to a part within the world.

Ling Tian proceeded to send some of his power through this link and felt an energy begin to cover him when he was interrupted by the man previously.

He had no choice but to move and retreat from where he was before.

"If you want to die so badly, then come!"

Ling Tian grunted as he once again approached and injected his power back into the root of the small world, feeling it reach out and connect with a formation.

* WOOSH! *

The root of the tiny world glowed when it absorbed both Ling Tian and the other man who had approached it.

The glow faded and space gradually calmed down again, finally with the nihilism of the void covering the place.
