Chapter 479: Chapter 479: The Final Showdown

After the prompt from the Spirit of the Cave Mansion, Lin Chen hesitated for a moment before finally selecting a sharp sword from his Spatial Ring to serve as his weapon.

Hum hum hum—

After Lin Chen had chosen his weapon, he entered a void-like space.

As soon as he entered this space, Lin Chen could feel the powerful Sword Qi it contained.

Opening his eyes, he saw within this space were seven formless Sword Qi suspended in midair.

The moment Lin Chen appeared in this space, they swiftly slashed towards him.

"Fighting against Sword Qi?"

Lin Chen, very sharp-witted, immediately understood that the trial might well be to withstand the attack of these seven Sword Qi.

Lin Chen wielded his sword, but he was unable to block even a single strike from the attacking Sword Qi.

Those seven Sword Qi instantly pierced through his body, subjecting him to endless pain.

What caused Lin Chen even greater pain was that the seven Sword Qi were not just attacking the body, but also inflicted damage on the Divine Soul.

Moreover, Lin Chen had tried using Spiritual Power and Soul Power to defend, all to no avail.

Only by using the sharp sword in his hands could he inflict damage on those seven Sword Qi, indicating that in this space, all forms of attack other than swordsmanship had lost their effectiveness.

Huff huff—

Lin Chen executed his swordsmanship, gritting his teeth to contend with the seven Sword Qi.

...

"What a joke!"

Inside the Formation Sect, Lin Chen was sitting in meditation cultivating in his room.

However, a sudden stabbing pain in his Divine Soul occurred, as the damage the Second Soul Division received within the Descension Ruins was also being endured by his original body.

Mainly because of the damage to the Soul Power, Lin Chen’s original body shared a Divine Sense with the Second Soul Division, therefore, both would suffer the same harm.

With only a day left before the next match, Lin Chen’s scalp went numb, his current state absolutely would not allow him to confront Chang Bai in battle.

In battle between the strong, a single flaw could give the opponent the victory.

In such a state as Lin Chen’s, if he went to fight, he would inevitably reveal countless weaknesses.

After all, Change Bai was a Reverting Void Realm powerhouse; the difference in Cultivation between him and Lin Chen was already significant, and any exposure of flaws would surely lead to certain defeat.

"I hope I can crush those seven Sword Qi before the start of the competition," Lin Chen’s original body thought to himself.

At this moment, in the Sword Path Space within the Descension Ruins.

The Second Soul Division of Lin Chen was also aware of the situation faced by Lin Chen’s original body, and he was very anxious. He had fought against the seven Sword Qi for a long time and had gradually come to understand the force behind each one, enabling him to battle them. But managing to fight all seven at once, each surpassing his own strength, was no easy task.

Time flew by rapidly, a day went by.

Lin Chen’s original body had intended to give up the final duel, yet the Second Soul Division of Lin Chen could now barely hold its own against the seven Sword Qi.

And last night, Lin Chen’s Cultivation had made another breakthrough, directly advancing to the Sixth Layer of the Heaven-reaching Realm.

This was perhaps due to the influence of the seven Sword Qi piercing through the Second Soul Division in the Sword Path Space.

However, in the final three-person match, the drawing of lots decided the duel.

Lin Chen unexpectedly drew the bye, which bought him some more time.

But, Chang Bai’s strength had grown even stronger than before.

Heartless Monk, in his hands, lasted only fifty moves before being defeated.

After a brief rest, Lin Chen eventually faced Chang Bai in battle.

"Kid, I see fear in your face,"

"It’s a pity you didn’t accept my proposal in the secret realm back then. But you refused."

"Now, I’ll make you die in this duel, suffering endlessly until death."

To Lin Chen, Chang Bai still wore a look of disdain.

"Draw your sword then, I want to see for myself if your Sword of Slaughter is as powerful as you boast."

On the Duel Platform, Lin Chen held the Flowing Light Sword in his hand, and a burst of Sword Intent immediately erupted from him.

"Using a sword!?"

"Kid, good, you’re arrogant enough," Chang Bai remarked upon seeing Lin Chen choosing to battle him not with the two powers he had comprehended but with a sword instead.

If Lin Chen used the True Intent of Thunder and True Meaning of the Wind, and wielded that Golden Bow and Arrow to duel him as he did in the secret realm trials, Chang Bai might have faced some difficulty.

But Lin Chen chose to use a sword to fight him; such an act was akin to suicide.

"Why would Lin Chen choose to use a sword? His other powers far exceed his swordsmanship, what is he thinking? Doesn’t he know Chang Bai has grasped both the True Meaning of the Sword and the True Meaning of Ice,"

"Has this guy lost his mind? To duel with Chang Bai in swordsmanship is no different from seeking death."

"Alas, it seems there is no suspense left in this duel. The outcome is clear, just unclear if Lin Chen can surrender before Chang Bai strikes him down."

Beneath the Duel Platform, the crowd was baffled by Lin Chen’s decision to use swordsmanship against Chang Bai.

Even Lu Zizai and Mu Qianqiu were surprised and didn’t understand Lin Chen’s approach.

A group of Formation Sect elders had already secretly decided to pay extra attention during the clash between the two and protect Lin Chen.

Should Chang Bai make a lethal move against Lin Chen, they would immediately intervene, rescue Lin Chen, and halt the duel.

After all, every Martial Artist who reached the top ten were Heavenly Prides, and the Formation Sect did not wish for such a loss.

At this moment, Lin Chen, ignoring everyone’s opinions, tightly held the Flowing Light Sword in his hands, and a hint of a cold smile couldn’t help but emerge on the corner of his lips.
