Chapter 421: Heaven-Tier Demonic Beast

“The Heaven Bearing Sword Prison creates a prison, while the Heaven Sword Array creates an array. It forms an array of swords, making it a sword array, which uses ten thousand swords to attack simultaneously. You can imagine the power of such a technique; it is something the ordinary person cannot withstand. If you can use it properly, it will definitely be much stronger than the Supreme Demon Sword,” explained Ling Xi solemnly.

“Sword array?” Long Chen could roughly imagine an array made out of swords in use. The target would be trapped in the array, then ten thousand swords would fly at him simultaneously. Even a powerful cultivator would suffer in the face of the Heaven Sword Array. Long Chen had a feeling that if he could master the Heaven Sword Array, it would become his ultimate fatal strike for a long time to come!

“Brother Chen, I still have a very clear memory of the study of the Heaven Sword Array. Since you’re a smart guy yourself, with my guidance, I think you’ll master it. From today onwards, shall we put cultivation aside in order to learn the Heaven Sword Array?” Ling Xi asked cautiously.

“No way. I’ll spend half of my time on the Heaven Sword Array and half on Qi cultivation. I can’t relax even for a moment. I must slay the Sword Emperor in front of everyone!” Pride and anticipation surged within his heart. With the Heaven Sword Array in his arsenal, he would be even more confident in succeeding.

“Alright …” Ling Xi did not know if it was the right decision to give him the Heaven Sword Array. She could not bear to see him furrowing his brows so tightly with worry, which was why she had instinctively told him about the Heaven Sword Array. After she said it, she was privately a little regretful because she knew that after cultivating the Heaven Sword Array, Long Chen would work even harder to eventually fight the Sword Emperor for the Nine Heavens Immortal Fruit.

The Nine Heavens Immortal Fruit used to be Ling Xi’s greatest desire, but after she fell deeply in love with Long Chen, it became her greatest fear. Every time she wanted to tell him, the fire burning in his eyes made her swallow her words.

“Start from the heavens, lay it all on the earth. Stir the wind and the clouds, then form the sword array …” After Ling Xi slowly explained the technique, Long Chen gradually understood that although the Heaven Sword Array was considered one technique, it was actually a combination of countless tiny techniques. These tens of thousands of tiny techniques combined into an airtight attack.

This was the magnificence of the sword array. Although it was classified as an advanced Heaven-tier technique, it was more powerful than that. The more Long Chen learned about the Heaven Sword Array, the more shocked he became! The first technique Ling Xi had taught him was indeed much more powerful than the Sword Devil Finger and the Shadow Sword.

To Long Chen, this was a huge opportunity. Therefore, he made a hundred and twenty percent effort to study and practice the Heaven Sword Array. Despite his intelligence, this was his first time facing obstacles in learning a new technique. If Ling Xi was not there to explain it to him or even demonstrate it, it was entirely possible that he would fail to learn the technique, even if he received the technique’s secret scripture.

With Ling Xi’s help, he slowly familiarized himself with it. He made progress every day, bit by bit, so over time, the accumulation of tiny bits of progress grew significant. Towards the end, he could understand her pointers the moment she gave them, and he gained a deeper understanding of the technique. After about a month, his labor finally started bearing fruit.

If it wasn’t for her help, he might not have been successful even after ten months. Long Chen sensed that in terms of cultivating both Qi and combat techniques, he was not as talented as he had imagined. The journey of cultivation was not meant to be smooth. Everyone struggled with the laws of nature, even Long Chen, despite being different from the rest.

Thankfully, he had better luck than other people for some reason.

“Ten thousand swords dispersing evil! Justice of the heavens and earth! The clouds of nine heavens swirl! The magnificence of heaven prevails!”

On this day, Long Chen was levitating above the small river, his foot less than ten centimeters away from the surface of the water. Qi rippled constantly in the gap between him and the river, supporting his body. Constant ripples ran in all directions across the river’s surface.

Long Chen pointed his finger like a sword with his eyes closed, then he gently traced strange shapes in the air. Rays of light started to appear in front of him, forming a dense mass of runes that shone with a blinding light. The runes gradually formed an array that spun under his control.

“Break.”

With a gentle pop, there was a sudden vibration in the air, and a tall Japanese pagoda tree nearby disappeared completely. Not even its shadow remained. If someone else were present, they would have been utterly bewildered because how could a tree that was perfectly fine disappear so suddenly?

However, if one approached the tree’s original location, they would notice something odd. There was a fine powder floating in the air, which slowly dispersed and spread out on the ground.

Under closer inspection, each powder particle was similar in size and appearance. Just simple, ordinary powder, which was impressive. The only strange thing was that some were brown and others green.

“The brown powder is the tree trunk, and the green powder came from the leaves. Success.” Long Chen walked on the grass. He had used the Heaven Sword Array without putting in much effort and directed it at a random tree in order to produce this shocking effect. However, looking at how effective his miniature Heaven Sword Array was, how terrifying would a large version of the array be?

“Brother Chen, you’re so smart!” Ling Xi praised. When she first learned the Heaven Sword Array, she also learned it with guidance, but she took longer than he did. It was very, very rare for a person like Long Chen from such a weak country to possess such talent.

Long Chen wanted to reply with something smug, but he felt a sudden trembling in the ground. He swallowed his words and listened closely. Even the slumbering Xiaolang woke up and looked towards the north with a solemn expression.

“Something’s up. Let’s go check it out.” After Long Chen confirmed the direction, he led Ling Xi and Xiaolang quickly towards the commotion. Along the way, Ling Xi returned to the Ling Xi Sword in his ear, while Xiaolang entered his combat state so that he could run faster; he was even faster than Long Chen.

Demonic beast aura? And it’s a strong aura too?

Long Chen was very surprised. He was not the only one, because Ling Xi and Xiaolang had sensed it too. Faint demonic beast roars came from the deeper parts of the Snowpeak Mountains. If the beast’s roar could travel such a great distance, it was sure to be very powerful.

How could there be such a powerful beast in the Snowpeak Mountains? That Dark Moon Tiger from before was much stronger than the other beasts, so it probably didn’t originate from here. Now another one has appeared? Long Chen’s mind raced.

Xiaolang also sensed that it was clearly a very powerful beast aura, and he was much more excited than Long Chen to encounter a beast. The Sun Devouring Wolf had warlike tendencies written in its genes, and Xiaolang had been frustrated that Long Chen had snatched the Sword Devil and Lin Zichen from him.

This time, the desire to fight surged through Xiaolang!

The boy and wolf dashed madly towards the beast. The feeling in Long Chen’s heart intensified as he drew closer. This beast was definitely far from ordinary.

As they approached, the heaven-trembling roars made him anxious. About five hundred meters away, all that was left ringing in his ear were the thunderous roars. Based on the sounds, it was likely a tiger-type beast, and it was probably related to the previous Dark Moon Tiger!

Long Chen was about to use the Soul Swallowing Gaze when Ling Xi made the discovery first. She said hurriedly, “Brother Chen, it’s a Dark Moon Tiger King! It’s a rare monarch among Dark Moon Tigers, and it’s at the Category One Heaven-tier. Don’t worry, I can tell that it’s severely injured. It has only just regained its ability to move today!”

“Dark Moon Tiger? Is it related to that previous Dark Moon Tiger?” he asked quickly. He was very interested when he heard that it was a Heaven-tier beast. And it was injured! This was an amazing opportunity!

“Maybe it’s related. The previous Dark Moon Tiger was probably this Dark Moon Tiger King’s subordinate or progeny. I’m guessing that this Dark Moon Tiger King has been recovering here for a long time. It’s only being so loud because it has just recovered a little today, and it’s calling for its scattered subordinates. We were even called over too!” Ling Xi explained.

“Ling Xi, if Xiaolang and I work together, will we be able to kill it?” Long Chen suddenly asked with fire in his eyes. It had been a long time since he had used Blood Transmutation. This was a rare opportunity, and he had the Heaven Sword Array to test out. As long as he reached the Ninth River Stage, he would be able to defeat the Sword Emperor!

Ling Xi froze, then she fell silent. She was so focused on the Heaven-tier beast that she had forgotten about that. With Long Chen’s personality, he would rush to kill the Sword Emperor for the Nine Heavens Immortal Fruit the moment he reached the Ninth River Stage. Even if it was just for Xiaolang’s revenge, Long Chen would still fight him!

“Xiao Xi, can we kill it?” Long Chen had not encountered a Heaven-tier beast before, so he asked again.

“Brother Chen, can we not kill it? Can we go back?” Ling Xi suddenly asked with sorrow.

“Hmm?” Long Chen froze, then he grinned. “Xiao Xi, you must be kidding. Don’t worry. Xiaolang and I should stand a chance against an injured beast, even if it’s at the Heaven-tier. Xiaolang, don’t you agree?”
