As the Universe Turns - Chapter 228

Chapter 228 Sword Breaking Formation

“Liao Wuchen …”

Below the valley, Ling Luan’s fingers became tighter and tighter, and a layer of sweat gradually condensed on her forehead. She recalled that when she ascended to Ling Yun for the test, she was unable to break through to the ninth layer. In the end, she almost lost her life in the array. If not for the timely help of an elder, she would really be dead.

Even though she knew that Liao Wuchen’s cultivation was far above hers, the sword formation was also strong when it came to strength. If Liao Wuchen was accidentally injured, wouldn’t the next trial be even more dangerous?

Just as everyone was nervous, a sword cry suddenly sounded in the air, but Xiao Chen instantly condensed a long sword in his hand.

The blade of the sword emitted waves of white light. However, this was only due to Xiao Chen’s cultivation. As a result, the sword qi left his body and looked like an immortal sword. However, this sword was actually just an ordinary iron sword. Not even an immortal sword could be counted as a divine weapon, much less a divine weapon.

At this moment, everyone held their breath and watched with rapt attention.

The wind rose! Cloud surge!

The Ninth Heavy Sword Formation suddenly shone with sword light, transforming into rays of sharp sword qi that slashed towards Xiao Chen.

At this moment, the surging sword intent pierced through. Even the disciples of the Heavenly Spirit Sect who were far away suddenly felt suffocated. The Lingyun Sword Formation was strong even if it was strong. Such a strong sword intent meant that the cultivation of the person above had reached what realm?

“Zheng! Zheng! Zheng!”

Three sharp sounds rang out. Xiao Chen raised his sword to block the attacks of the three sharp sword Qi, but he was shaken back a few steps.

Below, Hua Weiyang and Ling Luan saw that he was somewhat unable to resist the attack of the sword qi, and they secretly pinched a cold sweat in their hearts. Before the two of them could react, the sword array suddenly shone with sword light again and slashed more than ten strands of sword qi towards Xiao Chen.

Every strand of sword qi carried the might of splitting mountains and rocks. How could an ordinary person resist it?

Xiao Chen floated around the island like a god, occasionally shifting sideways and occasionally flying away. Everyone was dazzled by the sight, but they didn’t know that he seemed to be avoiding the attacks of sword qi, but in fact, he was waiting for an opportunity to find a breakthrough.

After reaching an incense stick, the sword momentum of the Lingyun Sword Formation did not stop. The sword qi was even more ferocious. Every time Xiao Chen raised his sword to resist, he would be pushed back several steps by the sword qi. It was already surrounded by dangers.

Seeing that he was unable to break through the sword formation this time, many people below shook their heads and sighed. Indeed, as they had expected, this person had charged forward at the beginning, but now he was finally unable to resist.

However, how did they know that the sword in Xiao Chen’s hand was just an ordinary iron sword? If the Heavy Sky Sword had been in his hand, why would he have been so painstakingly searching for a sword formation to make a breakthrough? Just the Heavy Sky Sword’s sword qi was enough to break through this formation.

Below the valley, Hua Weiyang’s eyebrows furrowed. She naturally knew that Xiao Chen lacked an immortal sword that matched her, so it was difficult to resist the sword qi of the Lingyun Sword Formation.

Back then, when he jumped off the Immortal Burial Cliff in Xuanqing Sect, he returned the Heavenly Heavenly Sword to Ling Yin. Since then, he never searched for any Immortal Sword again.

How could a sword xiuzhe not have a single immortal sword of his own?

However, Xiao Chen did not look for it. Ever since he was young, the Heavenly Sword had been with him. It had long been connected to his mind. Now, how difficult was it for him to find another Immortal Sword that had the same mind? As the saying goes, clothes are inferior to new clothes, but swords are inferior to old ones.

“Zheng! Zheng! Zheng!”

Another three cloudpiercing sounds rang out. Xiao Chen was once again pushed back by the sword qi of the Lingyun Sword Formation. This time, it almost caused him to fall.

Hua Weiyang couldn’t help but feel her heart tighten. There was a thin sword hidden in the handle of her “flower not flower” umbrella. It was called “Frost Spirit”. However, the body of the sword was slender and gentle, only suitable for women. Xiao Chen’s masculinity was too heavy, so this sword was not suitable.

Right now, Xiao Chen didn’t have a suitable Immortal Sword, so it was undoubtedly even harder to break through to the Lingyun Sword Formation.

Slowly, another incense stick of time passed. Xiao Chen was shuttling through the sword qi. Ling Xian’s footsteps had already been executed to the extreme. His figure moved like a ghost and god. Everyone could no longer see him clearly.

At this moment, he suddenly leapt up, and the sword force of the sword formation instantly rained down. Everyone below was shocked. What was he doing?

Could it be that he was in a hurry to forcefully break through to the tenth level of the sword formation? He had underestimated the power of the Lingyun Sword Formation. What difference was there between doing this and sending him to his death?

Just as everyone was shocked and thought that he was going to be buried under the sword formation, even Ling Luan cried out in shock. However, at this moment, he spun his wrist and instantly executed a set of unparalleled sharp sword techniques.

This was precisely the “33 Layered Jade Flute Sword Technique” that Ling Yin had created. Although he only had an iron sword in his hand, his strength was within reach. With this sharp sword technique, Fan Tie could also transform into a divine weapon.

Eighteen strands of azure sword Qi instantly appeared in mid-air and accurately slashed towards the sword formation. With a loud “bang”, the first strand was broken. The entire island trembled violently. Before the crowd below could react, the third strand, the fourth strand, and even the eighteenth strand were all broken.

At this moment, the formidable Sword Qi in the sky dissipated without a trace, and the ninth level of the Lingyun Sword Formation was broken!

Many of the people below were still unable to regain their senses. They all stared blankly at the sky. It was only a blink of an eye.

Xiao Chen slowly landed back on the island. The corners of his clothes weren’t damaged at all. Only then did everyone realize that he wasn’t struggling to deal with the Lingyun Sword Formation. Instead, he was slowly searching for the various formations of the Lingyun Sword Formation. Only by finding out the law of changes in the formation would he be able to break the formation in an instant like he had just done.

This person … could not be underestimated.

At this moment, the person who had underestimated him didn’t dare to say anything else. To be able to break the formation so subtly, who among the younger generation of his Heavenly Spirit Sect could do it?

In the distance, Chu Yue’er and Chu Yi Ying also gradually frowned. When they broke through to the ninth layer, they weren’t as clever as Xiao Chen in dealing with the Lingyun Sword Formation. Just where did this person come from …

Right at this moment, someone suddenly cried out in alarm. It was the iron sword in Xiao Chen’s hand that slowly lost its luster. On the sword’s body, it was actually densely packed with blunt holes. Clearly, it was left behind when he resisted the sword qi of the Lingyun Sword Formation just now.

At this moment, the crowd began to discuss in shock. With so many blunt holes appearing on the sword, it meant that the sword was just an ordinary iron sword.

It turned out that the sword he had used earlier was only an iron sword that could be seen everywhere in the blacksmith shop. He had actually used an ordinary iron sword to break through the ninth level of the Heavenly Spirit Sect’s Lingyun Sword Formation!

This time, even the expressions of Chu Tianqing and the others in the distance changed slightly. Originally, they thought that this child’s cultivation wasn’t shallow. If he was able to walk in the Ancient Realm, he would definitely have a divine weapon that matched it. However, they didn’t expect that he only had an ordinary iron sword that couldn’t be any more ordinary.

“This child … is really not bad.”

At this moment, Chu Tianqing could not help but nod his head. His eyes revealed an expression of approval that he had never seen before. This time, he believed that he was not mistaken.

However, the trial that Xiao Chen had to face next was likely to be even more difficult.
