"Bam!"
After Lin Feng destroyed the sword beam with a punch, he stepped on the ocean as he rushed towards the Ten Heaven Sword Hands.
Every step he took caused a huge pit to open up in the ground beneath his feet. Sea water churned, and massive waves rolled out across the surface of the sea.
To him, a distance of a few hundred meters was but a few steps.
"Clang!"
Lin Feng's tightly clenched fist finally smashed onto the ten swords of heaven with great force.
The two collided, and the sound of metal clashing rang out. This sound was like the sound of a sharp blade scratching against hard steel. The blade was extremely sharp, but the steel was also extremely hard. As it collided with the sword, sparks burst forth. It was as if the thing that was rubbing against the sword was truly a piece of hard metal.
"Clang clang clang …"
Every single time they collided, there would always be an ear-piercing clang, and in the blink of an eye, the Ten Sky Sword held onto Lin Feng's fist, and collided more than ten times.
After the initial success of the Golden wood spirit, Lin Feng's physical body had already reached an extremely terrifying level. Even when compared to the three great swords of the island nation, he was not really that much weaker. However, the Heaven's Ten Sword Grasps was one of the three great swords of the island nation after all, and right now, he had yet to truly master the Five Elements Immortal Body.
However, a crack appeared on Lin Feng's fist. After the crack appeared, it started to deepen, and after a moment, it was exposed, revealing the ghastly white bones on his knuckles, it was extremely shocking.
… ….
"This Master Hua Xialin, his physical body is actually stronger than Zuotong Chimu's!"
"Even his fleshly body is so powerful with regards to the arcane Peak of inner strength. As expected of the Immortal Ranking's Supreme Elder!"
"In this battle, even if Zuotong Chimu has the support of the Heaven's Ten Hands Sword, I'm afraid that the final outcome is still unknown!"
Although they could not see clearly the exact condition of Lin Feng's fist, they could clearly see that Lin Feng had used his physical body's power to block the divine sword that was holding the heavens in its hands.
Zuotong Chimu was already at the peak of the Worldly Immortal Stage, and was only a little bit away from stepping into the Earthly Immortal Stage.
"The limit of an Earthly Immortal …!"
The same words appeared in the minds of all the experts at the same time.
Lin Feng's inner strength was much weaker than Zuotong Chimu's, but his physical body was far ahead of him. This was enough to make up for the difference in realm difference between inner strength.
The island's military and Command Center, a group of upper echelons were gathered together, their gazes never leaving the large screen in front of them for a moment.
On the big screen, there was a live broadcast of the military high-definition satellite being transported back from littoral. The image was clear, and could even be amplified to any position at will. When they zoomed in to Lin Feng's fist, and grasped the ten swords with the sky, every single one of them instantly froze in place, their faces filled with shock.
His breathing and heartbeat suddenly slowed down at this moment. There were even people who subconsciously held their breath.
"Heavens, is that still Zuotong Chimu? That sword is actually one of the three great divine swords, the Heaven Ten Grasp Sword? "
These upper echelons were shocked to realize that after a series of consecutive collisions, Lin Feng's fist had merely revealed the eerie white bones. Although it looked somewhat shocking, it was actually only a very small superficial wound. It was not even able to damage one's bones.
As one of the three great swords of the island nation, they knew very well the degree of sharpness of the Heaven Ten Grasp Sword. A normal person's hand could slice through metal like mud, and could even split open tank's reaction armour.
"We can't leave him alive, this Master Lin of China definitely can't leave him alive."
"Inform all the commanders, give me a strict inspection of the preparation situation, we have to do this, give an order, all the missiles must be fired, we cannot let this Master Lin Hua leave the littoral alive."
The special forces of the Chinese military, the Command Center, had gathered more than ten people. Their moods were the same as the higher-ups of the island countries.
However, the worries of both sides differed.
"But looking at the current situation, it seems that the balance of victory is more on the Master Lin's side."
"That might not be true. Although Zuotong Chimu used his full strength when he wielded the Heaven's Ten Grasping Sword Slash, it was only the most ordinary of moves."
"Let's continue watching. We only hope that the one who managed to leave littoral alive is our Master Lin, China."
"This is a battle at the peak. Victory will strengthen our martial dao world and our current position as the ruler of the world. If you lose, everything will go back to how it was in the past."
The dozen or so people silently prayed in their hearts. They only hoped that Lin Feng could leave the littoral alive, so that the Chinese Martial Dao Realm would have the chance to return to the peak of glory that they had hundreds of years ago.
… ….
Island Country, littoral.
"How can the strength of your body be so strong?!"
Zuotong Chimu was deeply shocked. He never would have thought that the strength of Lin Feng's fleshly body would actually reach such a terrifying level. Even if his physical body's strength had reached the Earthly Immortal Stage, it would still be impossible for his saber to slash down. However, he had only suffered such minor injuries.
"The limit of the Earthly Immortal Realm …." "I didn't expect your magic to be at the peak of Transcendence, while your physical body has already reached the limit of an Earthly Immortal!"
Zuotong Chimu took a deep breath, spoke with great difficulty, word by word, with a stern expression.
The slash of the blade at full power only cut Lin Feng's fist to the depth of his eerie white bones. Such a strong fleshly body was something that even Earthly Immortals would not be able to accomplish, unless the strength of the fleshly body reached the limits of Earthly Immortals. It was possible that they could step into the Heavenly Immortal Realm at any moment.
"Unfortunately, I still haven't mastered the Five Elements Immortal Body."
Lin Feng sighed to himself. The Five Elements Immortal Body must be cultivated to the Initial Stage of the Five Elements. As of right now, he had only just mastered the Golden wood spirit. If he mastered all five types of spirit bodies, a mere Heaven Gripping Sword would be nothing more than a piece of scrap in his eyes.
"What Five Elements Immortal Body?"
Zuotong Chimu had never heard of such a technique before, so he could not help but be curious.
"There are some things I've told you that you don't understand." Lin Feng was too lazy to waste words.
"What arrogant words. Your arrogance has truly refreshed the limits of this noble one's understanding of you, time and time again!" Zuotong Chimu felt a kind of rage that was being ignored, "This sovereign is really curious, where did you get such confidence from?"
From the battle with Lin Feng till now, although the other party's strength had shocked him, the thing that enraged him the most was the other party's attitude. From the beginning till the end, the other party had maintained a calm and composed appearance, as if Zuotong Chimu was unable to enter his eyes.
"Don't talk so much nonsense. If you want to fight, fight. After I take your head, I'll wait for the souls of Zuo He's group of four to feed my sword spirit within the flying sword."
These words, clearly regarded Zuotong Chimu as someone who was about to die.
Arrogant!
He was really too arrogant!
"Master Hua Xialin, you are truly arrogant to the extreme!"
"Do you really think that this senior's power is only this much?"
"What a joke. From now on, this senior will let you see what the true path of the sword is."
Zuotong Chimu enunciated each word, his killing intent soaring.
With each word he said, the terrifying killing intent would rise to a higher level. When it finally stopped, his entire body, everywhere, would be shrouded in a terrifying killing intent. This was especially so for his pair of eyes. The killing intent that was shooting out from them seemed to have solidified. Wherever it went, there would be silence.
The sea water seemed to have received this command from the katana in Zuotong Chimu's palm. Above the water surface, it condensed into two water walls that were tens of meters tall, then froze into an ice wall, and trapped Lin Feng within.
Two walls made entirely out of seawater and ice were condensed into a solid shape. They were incomparably hard, just like a press of giant steel plates. They moved closer to the center, bringing with them enough strength to crush everything.
Not to mention Lin Feng, even if it was a steel armored tank and a solid meteorite, they would still be crushed to pieces.
"This kind of Sword Truth actually dares to boast. It's the true Sword Truth! What a joke!" That is because you have never, have learned the true profound meaning of the path of the sword. "
"The true way of the sword requires one man and one sword. One man and one sword is everything, without any external forces. And there's also that indomitable aura, where the sword exists, and the sword dies, and the person dies. "
"Whatever. Seeing that you are a person on the verge of death, I'll let you experience what is the way of the sword."
Lin Feng held his finger up like a blade, and a golden-green divine beam shot out from the tip of his finger, congealing into a long blade in the air. The long blade was entirely greenish-gold in color. Under the night sky, the entire sea was shrouded in the greenish-gold divine light.
His fingers moved, and the long saber suspended in the air rotated on the spot. Horrifying streams of sharp saber Qi shot out from the blade in an explosive manner. It was like numerous sharp blades that seemed to be able to destroy anything, piercing through the two ice walls and leaving countless holes in them.
"Rumble!"
The ice wall suddenly shattered and turned into water droplets that filled the sky, about to merge with the littoral once again.
"Brat, your time of death has come!"
Zuotong Chimu seemed to have already expected this situation. Amidst his complacent laughter, the water droplets that filled the sky started to gather and solidify once again. However, this time, it did not form into an ice wall, but into ice arrows.
The tip of the ice arrow released a faint cold light. Following Zuotong Chimu's wave of the blade, it shot towards Lin Feng like a crossbow that had been placed on top of a huge crossbow. It was like all the crossbows that had been shot at the same time. There was nothing else on the vast sea except for the ice arrows that filled the sky.
The might of the ice arrow was incomparably terrifying. The instant it shot out, it pierced through the void. If one were to observe carefully, they would discover that there was a long, circular hole left in the air by the ice arrow.
The ice arrow's speed was very fast, reaching subsonic speeds. When they were about to explode on Lin Feng's body, these round holes had not dissipated yet.
"Metal, wood, water, fire, earth; the five elements are mutually incompatible."
"Void Burning."
Lin Feng spread open his palm, and a thick cluster of golden flames burned fiercely.
After the golden flame was spat out from his palm, it seemed as if an oil tank had been ignited. With a rumbling sound of explosion, it turned into a fiery light that filled the sky and enveloped the ice arrows like a myriad of crossbows.
The moment the ice arrow that originally carried the power to obliterate everything, as if it had met its most terrifying nemesis, directly melted into a drop of water, which then evaporated immediately after. Strands of white steam slowly rose from the sea and flew into the sky.
"What arcane skill is this?"
Zuotong Chimu was once again deeply shocked. His entire face was solemn, and even his breathing became hurried.
At his level, most of the skills under the heavens could be seen at a glance, but the skills that Lin Feng was currently using were things that he could not see through at all.
"I told you a long time ago that you wouldn't understand what I know even if I told you about it." Lin Feng waved his hands impatiently.
"Don't be so arrogant!" Zuotong Chimu gave a cold snort, "With the matter at hand, the only thing left to do is to use this sovereign's true absolute art."
He held the Heaven's Ten Sword in his hand, one strike after another, continuously slashing out. With every slash, a sword beam would appear in the air. The sword beam was completely solid as it floated in the air, not dissipating at all.
In total, Lin Feng had slashed out tens of strikes, and in the air, tens of condensed sword beams appeared.
"Sun God Slash!"
The sword gleams interweaved and interweaved layer after layer before they eventually converged to form a gigantic round hole. A terrifying aura was released from this huge round hole, bringing with it a terrifying devouring power. It was just like those black holes in the universe that were located above the clouds. Anyone within the radius of those black holes would be completely devoured.
"Death Devour!"
Under the shroud, everything was engulfed and the place where Lin Feng stood, completely darkened. When everything went completely dark, Lin Feng could clearly feel a type of loss in vitality.
Even though the loss of life force was very slow, it was still a real existence. It had been a long time and it had been gone. It had been almost half a year.
"The power of death, I never thought that you would actually be able to comprehend the true essence of this power!"
