My Cultivation Prowess Peaks after I Buried the Great Emperor's Corpse

Chapter 165 - 165 Sword Saint, Marquis Ling Tian!

165 Sword Saint, Marquis Ling Tian!

The great five elements’ sword energy was extremely domineering.

How could the mere Lin Xuanzhen withstand it?

“Ah!”

Accompanied by an extremely shrill scream, Lin Xuanzhen was pierced through the chest by a terrifying five-colored sword energy under the shocked gazes of countless people.

!!

In an instant, all of his vitality was extinguished.

…

Silence.

Dead silence.

Seeing Lin Xuanzhen of the Shangqing Sword Palace killed by Lin Wudao with a single sword strike, the spectators in all directions and the many large factions in the void all widened their eyes in shock.

All of them were shocked to the extreme.

When the elder of the Shangqing Sword Palace, Yan Zhenshan, saw this brutal scene, he flew into a rage. Endless killing intent burst out from his eyes.

“Arrogant brat, go to hell!”

Boom!

With an earth-shattering roar, Yan Zhenshan charged forward with an ancient green spear in his hand.

His aged face was filled with malevolence.

It was obvious that his anger and hatred had reached the extreme. He wanted to kill Lin Wudao in one fell swoop to maintain the dignity and power of the Shangqing Sword Palace.

As an elder of the Shang Qing Sword Palace, although Yan Zhenshan belonged to the outer sect, his strength was not to be underestimated.

Currently, he had already cultivated to the peak of the Mystic Heaven realm. Now that he was attacking with hatred, his combat strength had increased by 30%.

Whoosh!

The moment his voice rang out, Yan Zhenshan arrived in front of Lin Wudao. Without any nonsense, he raised his hand and ruthlessly struck out with his spear.

Boom!

The ferocious spear light turned into a terrifying river that swept over with an earth-shattering force.

“City Lord, be careful!”

Yin Siming and Li Heishui both exclaimed.

However, Lin Wudao’s expression didn’t change at all. He was as calm as ever.

Boom!

When Yan Zhenshan’s terrifying spear light arrived in front of him, he simply raised his hand and blasted out another wave of the great five elements’ sword energy. The extremely terrifying power destroyed the attack.

Immediately after, the great five elements’ sword energy charged toward Yan Zhenshan without any reduction in its momentum.

“This… Not good!”

Everything happened in an instant.

Originally, Yan Zhenshan was full of confidence. He thought that he could easily kill Lin Wudao with his strength at the peak of the Mystic Heaven realm. Who knew that things would not go as expected?

He could not withstand the great five elements’ sword energy.

“Ah!”

A painful groan sounded from the void.

Yan Zhenshan tried his best to defend against the great five elements’ sword energy, but the sword energy was too terrifying. It was beyond what he could bear.

With that, the great five elements’ sword energy swept through the air and beheaded Yan Zhenshan in his endless fear and despair.

Scarlet blood sprayed in the air.

Ha!

Seeing this scene, the onlookers all gasped. Their eyes and gazes were filled with fear and terror as they looked at Lin Wudao.

“Oh my god, that’s a powerhouse from the Shangqing Sword Palace. He was actually killed by a sword? Isn’t this Lin Wudao too ferocious and powerful?”

A disciple from a large faction said in shock.

“Yan Zhenshan has reached the peak of the Mystic Heaven realm and is not weaker than us. However, he is no match for Lin Wudao’s sword energy. When did such a peerless prodigy appear in Jiuzhou?”

“Lin Wudao seems to be even younger than Lin Xuanzhen. His aptitude and strength are terrifying.”

“Jiuzhou is full of monstrous geniuses.”

“The Xia Dynasty has already produced Yan Huihuang, who has the potential to become a Sage. Now, there’s another Lin Wudao. Is this still the most remote Jiuzhou?”

“There is going to be a good show to watch on this Path to Heaven…”

…

All eyes fell on Lin Wudao.

This included the various huge factions in the Green Heaven Region.

In fact, even a faint cry of surprise came from the True Martial Divine Palace’s ancient bronze palace which was hidden in the clouds.

At the same time, some others looked downward at Lin Wudao.

“This kid is quite extraordinary.”

There was a universe in the bronze palace.

At this moment, in a quiet and elegant grotto-heaven, immeasurable pure spiritual energy swirled and rose, turning into beautiful long rivers that interweaved in the void.

...

Beneath it were thousands of exotic flowers and herbs, rare spiritual herbs, and so on.

In the center of the grotto-heaven was an ancient pavilion where two middle-aged men were playing chess.

At the side of the scholarly men stood a young boy who was full of wisdom.

“Leader, Governor Lin has become even stronger than before.”

The boy looked out of the hall, his face full of surprise and excitement.

Back in the City of Sin, he already admired Lin Wudao greatly. Now, they met again, and he even saw such an exciting scene. Naturally, it made him very excited.

In contrast, Liao Rushen’s expression remained calm and indifferent. It was as if everything was within his expectations.

“What’s the fuss? Even I can’t see through Lin Wudao. He’s definitely not someone ordinary. Lin Xuanzhen from the Shangqing Sword Palace is far inferior to him. This person’s future achievements might be limitless.”

Liao Rushen spoke gently.

As he spoke, he picked up a piece and placed it on the chessboard.

His words immediately attracted the attention of the person opposite him.

...

“In this vast Great World of Divine Desolation, there’s actually someone that you can’t see through?”

Compared to the gentle and elegant demeanor of Liao Rushen, the person who spoke exuded a domineering and sharp aura. He was dressed in green and was like a peerless divine sword that could slash the heavens and destroy the earth.

He was sharp.

Ordinary people would have their souls torn apart and their minds obliterated by his powerful sword aura with just a glance.

Of the two, one was extremely calm and unmoved by external things; One was extremely domineering with the ability to destroy all obstacles in the future.

Whoosh!

The chess pieces on the chessboard seemed to be about to shatter under the interference of the powerful sword aura.

Seeing this, Liao Rushen was instantly displeased.

“Marquis Ling Tian, are you still going to play? Let me tell you, don’t try to mess things up just because you can’t beat me like last time.”

Buzz!

As soon as he finished speaking, the chessboard in front of him instantly stopped trembling and everything returned to its original state.

“Hmph, I am the Sword Sage of True Martial Divine Palace. How can I be that kind of person? Today is not a good day to play chess. Let’s play another day.”

Bang!

As soon as he said that, all the chess pieces on the chessboard shattered into powder in an instant.

Seeing this, the boy at the side couldn’t help but sigh.

“Sword Sage is starting to act shamelessly again,” He muttered softly.

How could these words escape Marquis Ling Tian’s ears? He immediately glared at the other party fiercely, scaring the boy so much that he quickly hid behind Liao Rushen.

Similarly, Liao Rushen also had a helpless expression.

“Playing chess with you is so boring.”

“I am not good at chess. If you have the ability, let’s have a sword competition,” Marquis Ling Tian said coldly.

Hearing this, Liao Rushen was speechless.

“If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have come. Being with a boorish man like you who doesn’t understand elegance, my good mood has been ruined.”

After saying that, with a wave of his sleeve, the chessboard in front of him instantly disappeared, replaced by an exquisite tea set.

The boy next to him also brought over a jade pot and began to brew tea.

“Jiuzhou is really a magical place. In the entire Green Heaven Region, this is the most desolate place. Yet, this place that doesn’t seem to have any resources has produced overwhelming prodigies. First, there was Yan Huihuang who had the potential to become a Sage. Now, there is Lin Wudao. How strange,” Liao Rushen sighed softly.

“In your opinion, how does Lin Wudao compare to Yan Huihuang?” Marquis Ling Tian asked with a solemn expression.

In response, Liao Rushen shook his head.

“I don’t know. There are too many mysteries about Lin Wudao. I can’t see through him at all. But based on my intuition, he shouldn’t be weaker than Yan Huihuang. When the Path to Heaven descends, we might be able to get a glimpse of his true strength,” He pondered while saying.

Although he knew Divine Secrets and could observe others’ fate, he could not understand anything about Lin Wudao.

This made Liao Rushen very curious.

“Your True Martial Divine Palace didn’t manage to get Yan Huihuang. Maybe this time, you will have a chance. ”

“I hope so. Yan Huihuang is indeed too high-profile. We have to find someone to suppress her…”

As Marquis Ling Tian spoke, he turned his gaze to the outside world.

When his gaze swept past Lin Wudao, there was a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

…

Lin Wudao was not interested in the conversation between Marquis Ling Tian and Liao Rushen.

Boom!

After killing Yan Zhenshan with one strike, he swung his sword again and killed the other Mystic Heaven realm elder of the Shangqing Sword Palace in front of everyone.

Then, he stored their corpses in the system space.

Rumble!

Just as he was done, tens of thousands of claps of thunder suddenly sounded in the vast sky.

Accompanied by the mighty sound of thunder, a supreme heavenly might descended, instantly covering the entire Great World of Divine Desolation.

Gradually, a crack appeared in the sky, and divine light poured out, making the shadow of the Heavenly Gate in the void instantly become a physical existence. It suppressed the heavens and the earth!

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

…

A moment later, under the gaze of billions of living beings, a vast divine light emerged and evolved into a majestic Path to Heaven in the void.

It seemed to descend from the nine heavens and extend to the mortal world.

There were five ancient Heavenly Gates on it, all supreme and unfathomable.
