On the battlefield.
Dragon Claw!
Dragon Emperor Bone!
Facing Song Lin’s ferocious onslaught, Lin Yun dared not be careless. His arm was instantly covered in dragon scales, and a powerful force burst forth from his palm.
The Dragon Emperor Bone within his body also radiated light, unleashing a terrifying might.
Lin Yun gripped his treasured sword, channelling immense strength into it, and struck with a single blow.
Boom!
A staggering collision erupted, shattering the surrounding space and shaking the heavens and earth.
With this strike, Lin Yun forcefully blocked Song Lin’s assault.
“This…”
Song Lin’s face showed shock. Lin Yun’s sudden and massive outburst caught him off guard.
“Hmm?”
Even the Human Emperor, observing from the sidelines, revealed a trace of astonishment.
Though Lin Yun was strong, he was only at the Third Stage of the Myriad Realms. Under Song Lin’s earlier onslaught, the Human Emperor had thought Lin Yun was certain to lose.
“This fellow has truly mastered the dragon clan’s techniques to an extraordinary degree,” the Human Emperor marvelled inwardly.
He naturally saw through Lin Yun’s dragon clan methods.
“Moreover, it seems there’s a dragon bone in his body, and… it feels familiar. Could it be…” The Human Emperor’s heart jolted at the thought.
It was the Dragon Emperor’s bone!
Could it be… this fellow successfully integrated the Dragon Emperor’s bone into his body?
The Human Emperor’s heart surged with shock at the realisation.
For the Dragon Emperor knew well that for a human to withstand the integration of the Dragon Emperor Bone, both physical body and will had to be exceptionally strong. Lacking either would mean certain death for anyone daring to implant it!
On the battlefield.
After that strike.
Heaven-Slaying Seal!
Lin Yun formed a hand seal, and five blood seals instantly condensed at his chest.
As the blood seals formed, the aura Lin Yun released surged dramatically.
Song Lin’s strength was undeniable, so Lin Yun had no choice but to unleash these techniques.
“Senior Song Lin, it’s my turn to attack!”
Cang Hai Form!
As his words fell, Lin Yun’s sword transformed into a colossal wave, emitting a heaven-shaking dragon roar, its momentum as fierce as a thousand charging armies.
“Lin Yun, your strength has grown significantly since your battle with Emperor Xingwu at the Heavenly God Palace!”
Song Lin’s expression shifted slightly as he felt the power of Lin Yun’s strike.
Facing such a formidable attack, Song Lin’s own might erupted, his body glowing with azure light, his aura surging as well.
Clearly, Song Lin had fully unleashed his power.
In their previous clashes, Song Lin had erupted several times, revealing he too had numerous techniques.
Clang!
Song Lin, now fully unleashed, launched an attack, colliding once more with Lin Yun’s strike.
Both sides wielded terrifying power, and the energy from their clash was equally fearsome.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
They exchanged blows relentlessly, their powerful attacks colliding repeatedly.
After Lin Yun unleashed so many techniques, and with Song Lin fully erupting, their battle entered a stalemate, each side giving as good as they got.
Yet, Lin Yun still had one major technique unused.
The Ling Yun Sword Technique, with its sword soul, could erupt once more, but Song Lin had a technique yet to be unleashed as well.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Sword shadows continued to flicker and intertwine.
“Lin Yun, to fight me to this extent, honestly, you’ve far exceeded my expectations. I truly admire you.”
“But today, we must bring this to a final conclusion!”
“I didn’t reach fourth on the Heavenly List for nothing!”
“Soul-Plundering Heaven Technique!”
A more powerful divine sense attack wave swept across the sky at astonishing speed, instantly striking Lin Yun.
“What?!”
Lin Yun’s face paled. Even with his divine sense fully resisting, he felt a sharp pain in his consciousness, his entire being affected, his state instantly diminished.
Song Lin had used divine sense attacks before, but none as strong as this.
This level of divine sense attack, while not enough to knock Lin Yun unconscious, was sufficient to cause him great discomfort.
In other words, Song Lin had previously held back in terms of divine sense, not fully revealing his strength in this regard.
“Lin Yun, I didn’t want to use the ‘Soul-Plundering Heaven Technique’ against you, but your strength exceeds my expectations. I had no choice!” Song Lin’s voice boomed.
“Now, it ends!”
“Heavenly Source Sword Technique, Cang Hai Form!”
Song Lin’s sword swept forth like a massive wave, carrying immense momentum, instantly engulfing Lin Yun.
Song Lin’s rank as fourth on the Heavenly God List wasn’t just due to his Third Stage of the Myriad Realms cultivation, or his exceptional swordsmanship and physical prowess among peers. It was also because of his divine sense!
Moreover, as one of the Human Emperor’s disciples, he had learned the Heavenly Source Sword Technique!
Though both could use the Cang Hai Form, their natures differed.
Song Lin, having lived for tens of thousands of years, had studied swordsmanship far longer than Lin Yun. With a stronger foundation, mastering the third form of the Heavenly Source Sword Technique came more easily.
How long had Lin Yun been cultivating? How could his time studying swordsmanship compare to Song Lin’s?
Thus, Lin Yun’s mastery of the Cang Hai Form was all the more astonishing to the Human Emperor.
“Senior Song Lin, I won’t fall so easily!”
Despite his pale face from the divine sense attack, Lin Yun gripped his sword tightly as he faced Song Lin’s incoming assault. The sword trembled, its light flashing, fully activating the power of the sword soul.
Ling Yun Sword Technique!
Enduring the splitting headache, Lin Yun gritted his teeth and swung his sword.
Whoosh!
The sword spun in the air, whipping up a massive spatial vortex!
Masculine and feminine forces intertwined, greatly enhancing the conversion rate of power, amplifying the strike’s might.
“What?!”
Song Lin’s eyes widened in shock as he sensed Lin Yun’s strike.
The profound and intricate use of swordsmanship in this strike left Song Lin utterly stunned!
This strike, simultaneously wielding masculine and feminine forces to such a degree, filled Song Lin with awe!
Boom!
The sword, stirring a massive spatial vortex, clashed with the colossal wave from Song Lin’s sword, unleashing a torrent of staggering energy!
Both Lin Yun and Song Lin were sent flying backward under the terrifying force.
Because Lin Yun was affected by Song Lin’s powerful ‘Soul-Plundering Heaven Technique’, his state was compromised, and his attack’s power wasn’t as strong as it would have been in his normal state.
Even so, it still posed a significant threat to Song Lin.
