Ling Tian Sword God

"Who would have thought, in the end, it was him who walked ahead?"

Peerless Sword sighed lightly; he originally thought that during this Nine Streams Tournament, he could have a battle with Ling Chen to reclaim his former glory. Yet unexpectedly, the gap between him and Ling Chen grew larger instead.

Even Wei Wuxian, this Sword Demon’s descendant destined to be famous worldwide, paled in comparison to Ling Chen.

However, Peerless Sword was still Peerless Sword. The look of despair in his eyes lasted only for a moment, and was swiftly replaced by a hint of fighting spirit.

Being born in the same era as Ling Chen was both a sorrow and an opportunity. Using Ling Chen as a target and chasing after him could urge him to continuously improve his strength and reach new heights.

Unable to catch up with Ling Chen in three years, then five years, or even ten, a hundred years, until the end of life.

"Junior Brother Ling Chen, has he actually ascended to the position of King?"

Lin Wan’s delicate face also displayed a look of disbelief. The position of King was something none of the disciples from Lingyue Island’s generation could probably touch. The only one who might be eligible was the Free and Unrestrained Marquis.

Unexpectedly, Ling Chen has already surpassed the Free and Unrestrained Marquis unbeknownst to them.

"Genius King, Ten Thousand Swords King!"

Zhou Qingqing, Gu Wuqing, Leng Qianshang and others seemed as if struck by lightning, experiencing a great shock. They had expected Ling Chen to secure a Divine Marquises seat, more or less. They did not anticipate him to ascend directly to the position of King, achieving such a glorious success.

"Ten Thousand Swords King, this kid is actually the Ten Thousand Swords King..."

At this moment, Ling Qianji and Ling Han Ye were stunned in place, completely engulfed in enormous shock.

Ten Thousand Swords King, Genius King, an expert at that level could wipe him out with just one finger. This made Ling Qianji shiver. At first, he even dared to challenge Ling Chen, but it seems the latter had shown mercy. Otherwise, with his small amount of strength, he would not even survive one move from Ling Chen. One sword would be enough to kill him instantly.

"Damn it, I actually dared to plot against a Genius King..."

Tang Wuxi’s forehead was covered in cold sweat. In the face of absolute strength, any tricks were superfluous gestures. Moreover, his tricks must have long been seen through by Ling Chen.

Bouncing around in front of a Genius King, unless he planned to die.

No wonder the Third Elder died at Ling Chen’s hands. He initially thought the latter had used some shady means. Now it seems, for Ling Chen to kill Tang Sect’s Third Elder was simply an effortless task.

"I said early on, this kid is not to be messed with."

Wei Renjie shook his head. At the start of the Nine Streams Tournament, he had already made up his mind never to provoke Ling Chen. Sure enough, the terrifying power that erupted from the latter far exceeded everyone’s expectations.

"Only when the Third Elder Saint Qian Yan makes a move, might there be a chance to eliminate this kid."

Wei Renjie’s eyes flashed with a hint of coldness. After this Nine Streams Tournament, Saint Qian Yan would personally take action to obliterate Ling Chen. So, even if the latter is titled Ten Thousand Swords King and becomes a Genius King, what of it. Glory is but fleeting, like a flower that blooms only for a night.

At this moment, far away in the Divine Capital.

Within the inner courtyard of the Imperial Palace.

"Ten Thousand Swords King, the young king who breaks records..."

Empress Yunyao’s lips curled with a subtle arc, her beautiful eyes contained a brilliant smile.

However, the smile on her face lasted only for a moment before being replaced by a hint of discrete essence, apparently having resolved some decision.

Empress Yunyao extended her jade-like fingers, drawing a circle on the image of Ling Chen displayed on the mirror and said, "Ling Chen... ultimately you can’t escape my Five Finger Mountain..."

Following Empress Yunyao’s gaze into the Heaven-stealing Mirror, atop Spirit Mountain, the atmosphere was already ablaze.

The crowd had not yet recovered from Ling Chen and King of Snowy Night’s battle when Ling Chen had already taken the northern throne and was bestowed the title of "Ten Thousand Swords King" by the judges of the Nine Streams Tournament.

The group of Divine Marquises geniuses could not help but look at each other in surprise. They did not expect to witness the transition of kingship firsthand, witnessing the birth of Ling Chen, this record-breaking young king; without doubt, this was a privilege.

"Who would have thought we were both mistaken."

Holy Heart Queen looked at King of Taisu seated to the east, smiled bitterly. King of Snowy Night was one of the Youth Kings. Losing the title would inevitably have a significant impact on them.

Moreover, before Ling Chen, Wei Wuxian had already posed a great threat, having tied the fight with King of Golden Buddha.

"We were too confident."

King of Taisu’s eyes displayed a hint of solemnity, "We must not underestimate; the opponents to come will also not be simple."

Having said this, his gaze fell on a black-robed masked figure among the crowd: Skyeye Marquis, Ling Yin.

The Holy Heart Queen’s eyes, on the other hand, looked towards another location, where a white-clothed Xuannv was standing.

King of Taisu and Xuannv both from Great Mysterious Heavenly Dao, so the latter is unlikely to challenge King of Taisu. It is very possible that this Xuannv would choose her as the challenge target!

In her sight, Xuannv suddenly moved, appearing at the central area of the summit.

Sure enough, she raised her head, looking towards Holy Heart Queen’s direction.

"Yun Qianqian, come down for a battle!"

The ancient well in Xuannv’s beautiful eyes was unwavering, speaking lightly.

Yun Qianqian was the real name of the Holy Heart Queen.

"Xuannv wants to challenge Holy Heart Queen?"

Upon hearing these words, everyone’s gaze could not help but tighten, undoubtedly, this would be another epic battle.

Xuannv had already exhibited king-level strength long ago. Her arrival at this Spirit Mountain Peak was clearly directed at the position of King. Yet, Holy Heart Queen, the Divine Female Sect’s top figure of the youth generation, was inherently proud and powerful. Could she easily concede the King’s position?

"Xuannv, your sharpness is excessive; let elder sister temper you a bit."

Holy Heart Queen descended from the throne, landing before Xuannv, an immense force suddenly erupted from her body. This oppressive aura was extremely noble, sweeping over the entire summit of Spirit Mountain, making the youth generation feel as if they should truly worship.

Everyone promptly gathered their minds, resisting this oppression. This pressure was not innate to Holy Heart Queen but was the effect of the Divine Female Sect’s supreme cultivation technique, Divine Female Skill. This technique was agreeable for females but particularly suppressive for males; thus, weak-willed male experts could easily be proven by someone from the Divine Female Sect, turning into male slaves, serving the sect.

At this moment, Ling Chen, already seated on the northern throne, was also focused. He too wanted to see how far Xu Ruoyan’s strength had progressed within this Great Mysterious Heavenly Dao over the years.
