Chapter 972: Everything Is A Sword, A Sword Is Everything!

"True Immortal Lord... spare my life..."

The immortal lord stammered, bearing the pain and anguish in him as he felt more and more that his body would explode at any moment. He tried to regain control of his technique, but it was impossible, it was as if he was far from his domain and a totally superior force prevented him from regaining it.

Ling Tian's face aged very slowly even though a great vital aura was still coming out of his body, passing the decade of 20s and entering an appearance of 30s and continuing to run through him, heading towards 35 and very soon to 40. Some faint marks spread across her face, while dark circles became darker and more prominent under her eyes showing her tiredness. Her white hair almost totally pale, lifeless and short to her shoulders, while her body became much thinner, with the muscles in her arms thinning and withering.

However, Ling Tian's golden eyes were still shining brightly!

As if he was completely fine and his body was not aging!

"What about you? Were you actually planning to spare my life?" Ling Tian scoffed as he heard the weak voice of the man in front of him as he tried to control the immense power in his body and avoid exploding.

"Ahhh! If I'm going to die I'll take you with me!"

The man shouted in despair and his expression turned furious at the sight of Ling Tian. He raised his arms and countless talismans shot out from his storage ring, activating in the air and scattering in all directions.

The immortal essence in his body exploded completely, using all his reserves that he had recovered and burning all the vital essences in his body. The supreme technique that had accompanied him for millennia was deeply activated.

The pair of huge eyes in the sky appeared once again, looking at Ling Tian as unparalleled coercion fell in the world, focusing on Ling Tian.

"You may be a true Immortal King, but you can't use all your power here!" The man shouted with some excitement. The idea of being able to fight on equal footing against an Immortal King was something he never thought he would do!

If he was lucky and acted fast, he might even be able to kill him!

The clouds darkened rapidly, as lightning flashed every moment overhead. It was as if a heavenly tribulation was about to fall.

Several giant arms appeared after the appearance of the eyes, extending from the sky as if the clouds themselves were their bodies, to finally fall upon the place. The hands of each arm opened, strengthening the palms and heading towards everyone in the place, as if these palms wanted to crush and kill everyone present without giving them a chance to escape.

* Click~! *

At once, a snapping of fingers resounded with utmost clarity, reaching everyone's ears.

The giant palms trembled and in the next instant disappeared as if nothing had happened. The arms growing out of the clouds disappeared in the same way, leaving only the dark clouds that shared the lightning with each other.

Ling Tian had raised his hand and snapped smoothly, stopping everything that was happening. He raised his eyelids and looked down, his golden eyes gazing at a pair of arms made of transparent crystals, which directed their crystal hands and intended to grab him, but stopped without moving another inch.

The figure of the man had vanished, escaping once again as he appeared this time tens of miles away and without stopping. The vital aura followed him to the horizon, confirming that he was about to escape from everyone's sight.

"Oi~ oi~, I thought someone of your level would have more experience and cards up their sleeves~"

But Ling Tian smirked and turned around, extended his arm and opened his palm in the air before closing it again.

"Ugh!"

The man gasped in pain as he tried to open Ling Tian's slender hand with his two hands, struggling desperately without knowing why he couldn't break free.

But Ling Tian has grasped a sliver of knowledge of what true Yin-Yang is, so he can easily continue to use the balance of his force with this man, sharing his entire life essence and force with him. Ling Tian can also influence the balance of the two sides, causing all the life essence and force now to be directed towards him, absorbing all the power of the man in front of him, but that was not convenient at this time.

The life essence in Ling Tian's body surged even more, creating such a thick and dense layer of mist around his body, which a part of it was heading towards the man and entering his body constantly.

Ling Tian's body was becoming a little thinner, while his pale white hair that reached and slightly past his shoulders fell a little more, reaching in length to the base of his neck the same way he had previously cut it. Ling Tian's face soon attained the appearance of almost a middle-aged man, however, it still contained a trace of that handsome and charming countenance, retaining the vestiges of what was once his perfect beauty of youth.

"P-protect the Immortal Lord! Kill the enemy!"

A voice soon echoed quickly. A figure from the Dong family side flew over and pointed his sword at where Ling Tian and the man stood.

Dong Lin, the ancestor of the Dong family, poured all of his cultivation essence into his sword and pointed it at Ling Tian. His soul spiritual force flowed out and he launched a soul attack almost at once, not giving Ling Tian a chance to defend himself.

"Y-yes! Kill the enemy! The Immortal Lord will bring glory to the Dong family!"

"Let's go!"

"Attack!"

"Use all your strength!"

Dong Hong exclaimed in fury and followed his father without hesitation. The other Dong family experts did not hesitate and followed as well, each one casting their strongest skill and directing it towards Ling Tian.

If they allowed their Immortal Lord to be killed, the Dong family would most likely disappear!

"Those bastards!"

Feng Zhiyun gritted her teeth as she saw the Dong family's movement aiming at Ling Tian when he was concentrating. She gathered all her power and a cultivation essence giant hand materialized, while her domain expanded between Ling Tian and the Dong family to prevent any attacks from reaching Ling Tian.

Li Fengyuan already had her sword clenched in her delicate hands. The aura on her body became much sharper and gathered on the sword again. She opened her eyes and a sharp flash pierced through space; the potential expanded, strengthening with the power of the sword and creating a domain more powerful than an ordinary Great ascension realm expert.

Feng Ye and Feng Junze did not hesitate either and were already prepared to launch their attacks and defend Ling Tian. The Feng family members made their auras flow and made their most powerful moves.

The other men and women, from young men and women to adults and elders, did not move. Some of them had intentions to move, but were quickly stopped by the elders of their sects.

"So desperate are you all to die?"

However, Ling Tian's indifferent voice spread out, sending chills despite his tone of voice being so calm and casual.

"Fengyuan, this is a concept and representation of the sword... everything is a sword, a sword is everything!"

Ling Tian reached down one of his hands and tore a piece of cloth from the man's robed. The piece of cloth was barely about 10c long and about 2 centimeters wide. He gently laid it on his palm and then magically the small piece of cloth floated up, flying towards Dong Lin.

Li Fengyuan, who had stopped upon hearing Ling Tian's words, could not help but be stunned full of shock when she saw with her own eyes how a harmless little piece of cloth slashed the Dong family ancestor in half!
