The Art of Chaotic Divinity

"Brother Ao Jue, please enlighten me!"

The two immediately engaged in battle.

After several exchanges, Gongsun Long gradually realized the flaws within his own techniques. He cupped his fists toward Ao Jue in salute before conceding and stepping down from the stage.

Although he had known from the start that defeat was inevitable, Gongsun Long still benefited tremendously from the battle against Ao Jue.

The other top ten contestants also seemed to gain some insight. At their level, comprehension was never an issue. Every single person present possessed something worth learning from.

After all, the original purpose of the Sunset Heaven Selection had always been to encourage exchanges among the geniuses of the Dongling Region.

Half an hour later, the puppet referee emotionlessly announced the third match:

"Third match, Gu Changfeng versus Ling Feng!"

Gu Changfeng glanced at Ling Feng and could not help shaking his head with a smile.

"Junior Brother Ling, I didn't expect us to meet this quickly."

"Indeed. I was just hoping to seek some guidance from Senior Brother."

Ling Feng smiled modestly. None of those who had entered the top ten were weak, and Gu Changfeng's strength ranked only beneath the three great prodigies, Shi Haoxuan, Ye Ting, and Ao Jue.

"Certainly."

Gu Changfeng nodded slightly. He did not actually believe Ling Feng had any chance of defeating him. In fact, he found it somewhat curious that Ling Feng had not simply surrendered.

Still, since Ling Feng wished to fight, he naturally would accompany him to the end.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Both Ling Feng and Gu Changfeng leaped onto the arena stage.

Gu Changfeng stood proudly at the center of the arena. After a moment's thought, he finally drew out a sword and slowly said, "Junior Brother Ling, the path I specialize in is the sword dao. Be careful."

Sensing the sharp sword intent radiating from Gu Changfeng, a brilliant light flashed across Ling Feng's eyes. He smiled and nodded.

"In that case, I'll use a sword as well."

Below the stage, countless spectators widened their eyes in astonishment. Ever since the beginning of the Sunset Heaven Selection, no one had ever seen Ling Feng use swordsmanship before.

Among the top ten experts, only Tuoba Yan knew that one of Ling Feng's strongest abilities was precisely the sword dao.

Within the audience seating, a bright gleam flashed through Murong Bai's eyes. Ling Feng had been able to guide him into comprehending the Only Self Sword Intent, which already proved that Ling Feng's attainments in the sword dao surpassed his own.

However, sword dao against sword dao, whether Ling Feng could truly defeat Gu Changfeng still remained uncertain.

"Hm?"

On the arena stage, Gu Changfeng froze momentarily before asking with surprise, "Junior Brother Ling is also a swordsman?"

Clang!

The only response Gu Changfeng received was an incomparably crisp sword cry.

A clear and resonant sword hum washed across the hearts of everyone present, echoing throughout the silent arena.

In an instant, an incomparably sharp sword intent erupted outward from Ling Feng like a storm.

Gu Changfeng stared in shock.

"Junior Brother Ling, you..."

Ling Feng gripped the Eradicator of Realms in his hand, and his entire aura transformed completely.

Moments ago, he had seemed no different from an ordinary passerby.

Now, he resembled a grandmaster of the sword dao.

A glint flashed through Shi Haoxuan's eyes as he stared deeply at Ling Feng.

Ye Ting frowned slightly, revealing a trace of astonishment.

Meanwhile, Ao Jue's eyelids twitched violently as he blurted out, "Slaughterous Sword Will?"

As fellow swordsmen, Gu Changfeng felt the pressure most clearly. He stared fixedly at Ling Feng and asked in a deep voice, "Junior Brother Ling, could the sword intent you are displaying truly be the legendary Slaughterous Sword Will?"

"Why not test it for yourself?"

A sharp gleam flashed through Ling Feng's eyes. He raised the Eradicator of Realms vertically before him as strands of destructive aura burst outward in every direction.

Ssshhh!

Sword light spiraled outward as cracks of void fissures tore open through space itself.

Merely releasing his sword intent had already produced such terrifying phenomena. Just how high had Ling Feng's sword dao attainments reached?

Cold sweat covered Gu Changfeng's forehead as he swallowed with difficulty.

At this moment, he no longer dared underestimate this seemingly weak little junior brother whose cultivation realm appeared pitifully low.

This junior brother was absolutely a peerless sword dao expert.

No, not merely an ordinary expert!

That slaughterous aura originated from the heart, arose from the soul, and manifested through intent itself. It seemed that even the breath exhaled by Ling Feng while holding his sword carried traces of slaughterous intent.

Gu Changfeng had practiced the sword since the age of six. More than forty years had passed, yet he had never encountered a sword expert possessing such terrifying slaughterous aura as Ling Feng.

Among the ten attributed sword intents, the Slaughterous Sword Will stood as a transcendent king.

Ordinary sword intents naturally fell beneath it.

It resembled the lofty gaze of a monarch looking down upon lesser beings.

In terms of sword dao realm, before the battle had even begun, Gu Changfeng already felt that he had lost half the fight.

Ling Feng casually swept his sword outward and calmly said, "Senior Brother Gu, make your move."

Only then did Gu Changfeng recover from his shock. He inhaled deeply, his face filled with solemn seriousness, before nodding slowly.

"Junior Brother Ling, be careful!"

With his sword intent already suppressed, Gu Changfeng did not dare show the slightest carelessness. The moment he attacked, he directly unleashed one of his trump cards.

This sword technique had originally been reserved for confronting Ye Ting and Ao Jue.

But now, he had no choice except to reveal it ahead of time.

"Nine Heavens Dragon Roar Sword!"

With a single strike, countless dragon roars echoed across the nine heavens.

Boundless sword cries mixed together with endless sword qi, filling every corner without leaving the slightest gap.

Ling Feng was instantly surrounded by endless sword qi.

Above and below, in every direction, there was nowhere to escape.

Yet Ling Feng remained completely calm.

At the exact instant the endless sword qi descended upon him, two additional swords slowly rose behind his back.

One black and one white.

The two swords transformed into soaring rainbows that shot toward the heavens. Instantly, a terrifying power of Void Annihilation swept outward in all directions.

The countless sword cries vanished in an instant.

In the blink of an eye, silence once more descended upon the arena.
