In the void, tens of thousands of crescent-shaped golden sword gleams covered the sky. They came from different angles and at different speeds, attacking Lin Huang like a storm that had been disrupted by a strong wind.
In an instant, Lin Huang split into hundreds of shadows. The long sword in his hand slashed out tens of thousands of sword gleams that met the crescent-shaped sword gleams. He did not miss a single one.
He did not use a cloning technique. In this sword mark space, skills other than Sword Dao could not be used. He relied on his extreme movement speed and sword swinging speed to create a terrifying effect of overlapping shadows.
Seeing the massive amount of sword gleams being destroyed by Lin Huang one by one, the burly man felt bitter.
He knew that he had lost.
This battle had lasted for more than ten hours. He had used almost all of his skills, even his strongest Ten Thousand Blade Slash several times. Other than the first time he had injured his opponent, his subsequent attacks had not even touched the hem of his opponent's clothes.
His opponent did not even bother to dodge. Instead, he swung his sword again and again, directly destroying all of his attacks.
"Fighting with you is very satisfying!"
The golden sword gleams dissipated. Lin Huang's figure stood proudly in the void. "I'll return the sword technique I just learned to you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Huang held his sword in his right hand and swung it violently.
In the next instant, thousands of sword gleams bloomed almost at the same time, like a sudden burst of gorgeous fireworks.
The sword gleams not only had different speeds and trajectories, but even their forms were different.
Some were like falling stars, some were like electric arcs, some were like dazzling arcs, some were like monstrous waves …
Each sword had a completely different form and nature. It was obvious that it was an upgraded version of his opponent's Ten Thousand Blade Slash.
Seeing this, the burly man's eyes bloomed with endless brilliance.
"Can someone who hasn't achieved Sword Dao true meaning really do this …"
In the next instant, thousands of sword gleams swept through the air from different angles and completely engulfed the burly man's body.
"You've gone astray after all. Slashes are about quality, not quantity. Your Ten Thousand Blade Slashes are not even as powerful as my one hundred sword gleams. "
Lin Huang said this slowly as he watched the other party drown in the saber light. It was unknown if the other party could hear him.
[The trial-taker has passed the first checkpoint of the Celestial Realm!]
His consciousness returned to his body from the sword mark space. Less than a second had passed in the Swordfiend Abyss, but it took Lin Huang another half an hour to completely digest what he had learned from the battle.
When he opened his eyes, Lin Huang could feel that the Saber Intent in his body had improved slightly.
"As expected, the improvement brought about by a level-six opponent is not something that can be compared to before. I can feel that my Sword Intent has improved after just one battle. At this rate, I'll need at most twenty to thirty more battles before my Sword Dao reaches the perfected stage of level-6. "
After digesting what he had gained from the first battle, Lin Huang raised his head and looked at the remaining 120 sword scars. He quickly chose one of them and touched it with his Spiritual Force.
Lin Huang's second opponent was a ferocious close-combat sword cultivator. He was also a Protoss with a naturally powerful physique. Even in his human form, he was more than three meters tall.
Logically speaking, Protoss of this type would usually choose to cultivate physical skills, but this guy chose to cultivate sword skills instead. Coupled with his naturally powerful physique, he fought like a maniac.
With a physique that was no weaker than Lin Huang's, the two of them fought for a full fifteen hours before Lin Huang finally killed him.
When the battle ended, Lin Huang spent another half an hour or so to digest what he had learned from the battle. He had gained some close-combat skills that he did not have before.
None of the battles that followed were easy victories.
Almost every battle took more than ten hours. Some even took more than twenty hours.
Before reaching level-6, Lin Huang had intentionally allowed his opponent to use his skills. However, after reaching level-6, most of the time, it was no longer Lin Huang intentionally dragging things out so his opponent could show off as much as possible. Instead, it was his opponent who was strong enough to fight Lin Huang for more than ten hours. There were even a few opponents whose Sword Dao abilities were on par with Lin Huang's. It would be difficult to kill them if they did not put in some effort.
As the battles went on, not only did Lin Huang learn many Sword Dao skills that were suitable for use in actual combat, but his Sword Dao was also constantly improving.
After the twenty-third battle, the Sword Dao in Lin Huang's body finally reached the perfected level of level-6. At this point, his Sword Dao had reached its limit. The next breakthrough would be Sword Dao true meaning.
Sensing that his Sword Dao was perfected, Lin Huang closed his eyes and sat cross-legged on the spot. He spent more than three hours feeling his Sword Dao's ultimate level before he got up and started the next battle.
Lin Huang became more and more at ease in the following battles. However, each battle in the sword mark space still lasted no less than ten hours.
Even though his Sword Dao was perfected, he still focused on digesting and absorbing what he had gained from each battle. In each battle, he used the pseudo-mythical-level and mythical-level sword skills that he had previously obtained but had not officially cultivated.
After each battle, he went back to his old habit of closing his eyes and digesting what he had gained.
Although his Sword Dao was already perfected, Lin Huang could vaguely feel that his Sword Dao did not seem to have reached a bottleneck that could not be improved. Instead, it was slowly improving in an invisible way.
It took Lin Huang about three and a half days to finally finish the 121 level-6 battles.
In reality, the battles in the sword mark space were over in an instant. The three and a half days were mainly used to digest what he had gained from the battles.
When the last battle was over, the Swordfiend Abyss notification finally appeared again.
"The participant has passed all stages of the Heavenly Level!"
"Congratulations, participant. You have passed the first stage of the Great Heaven inheritance test!"
Lin Huang was a little surprised when he saw the second notification.
First, it was because the Swordfiend Abyss really was the first stage of the Great Heaven inheritance.
Second, he had not even learned Sword Dao true meaning, but he had passed.
After thinking about it carefully, he could roughly guess that the criteria for passing had to do with the participant's own combat level. After all, he was only at imperial-level. Logically speaking, it was already rare for an imperial-level to reach level-6 Sword Dao. However, he had passed all the level-6 stages as an imperial-level, so it made sense that he would be recognized by Great Heaven.
The Swordfiend Abyss notification only paused for a moment before more text popped up.
"You can choose to stay in the Swordfiend Abyss and proceed to the next stage to participate in the Sword Dao true meaning test. You can also proceed directly to the second stage of the Great Heaven inheritance test.
"As the participant has already passed the Swordfiend Abyss test, choosing to continue the Sword Dao true meaning test will grant you death immunity. If you are killed in the sword mark space, your consciousness will not die. Instead, it will return to your body. After you are killed, you cannot enter the sword mark space a second time. "
"Remarks: From now on, the participant can stay in the Swordfiend Abyss for a maximum of three days. Once the three-day limit is over, you will be sent directly to the second stage of the Great Heaven inheritance. "
"Please make your choice. 1. You will be sent directly to the second stage of the Great Heaven inheritance. 2. You will stay in the Swordfiend Abyss. "
"If you do not make a choice within 10 seconds, you will choose the first option by default."
"10, 9, 8 …"
Seeing that the notification was already counting down, Lin Huang thought about it for a moment and quickly made his choice — to stay in the Swordfiend Abyss.
"Since I have death immunity, why not take this opportunity to see just how powerful Sword Dao true meaning is?!"
