Ling Chen's Sword Intent, compared to Peerless Sword's Traceless Sword Intent, is even more formidable. Once fully unleashed, it is earth-shattering, coloring the sky in shades of blue and gold. High above, streaks of black lightning tore the heavens incessantly, while a massive black sword shadow condensed on Ling Chen's body. Just slightly releasing its sharpness made a big hole in the clouds.

"Sky Void Breaking Delusion!"

Over there, Peerless Sword had already completed his final charge. The surging aura around him warped the surrounding space. He stepped forward and with all his might, he swung out his strongest sword strike. As the sword passed, blood rained, and a sea of blood spread. Countless scarlet sword shadows danced in the sky, forcibly turning the space above the arena into a blood-red purgatory.

Slaughter, destruction, and bloody auras filled the entire arena. Ling Chen's Sword Momentum was devoured inch by inch, forcing him to the edge of the arena, seemingly about to be defeated.

At the critical moment, Ling Chen was driven to the brink of despair. Instead of feeling despair, his condition improved dramatically in this dire situation, entering a realm of Unity of Human and Sword, forgetting both self and object!

In Ling Chen's eyes, the speed of Peerless Sword's sword techniques noticeably slowed down. At this moment, his thoughts seemingly froze, and all the insights gained during this Heavenly Sword Grand Tournament flooded out, like fragmented pieces rapidly merging and reorganizing.

In an instant, a gleam flashed in Ling Chen's eyes.

He suddenly gripped his sword with both hands and slashed out. Strands of crimson True Qi swept out, condensing around him into a lotus. This lotus was composed of a Sword Formation, vigorously growing under Ling Chen's exertion, rapidly expanding.

"Fire Lotus Sword Array!"

With a fierce shout, the giant fire lotus surged upwards, rushing into the sky as if endowed with powerful life force, quickly blossoming and reaching high into the sky.

This move was a modification of the first move of the Green Lotus Sword Song, Green Lotus Reaching the Sky, with a hint of True Essence of Fire. Although it lost the original artistic conception of the sword technique, Ling Chen infused it with seventy percent of the True Essence of Fire, instantly doubling its power, in no way weaker than the original Green Lotus Reaching the Sky.

Crackling!

The blood-colored sword shadows and the gigantic fire lotus collided, shattering into pieces. A deep sword mark was plowed through the blood sea. Ling Chen's Sword Intent permeated the sword mark, constantly destroying the structure of the blood sea, wearing down its power, causing the blood sea to surge with gigantic waves, the blood color gradually fading.

"Break for me!"

Peerless Sword's face remained cold and expressionless, swinging his sword again, a sea of sword qi overwhelming everything, a dense mass of sword shadows shooting forth.

"Disperse!"

Ling Chen didn't waste words, just softly uttered a command, and the fire lotus suddenly disintegrated, sending fiery red lotus leaf sword qi shooting out, bombarding the layered sea of sword qi.

Puff puff puff!

Boom boom boom!

The fight between the two rendered the sun and moon dim, the platform cracking, sand and stones flying. The frenzied blood-colored sword wind and fiery red sword wind intertwined, continuously rotating and colliding around the two, eventually forming a tornado storm several miles wide, reaching the sky and connecting to the ground.

In the center of the storm, the two continued to clash, seemingly relentless until one of them fell. Here, only one can walk away.

Gulp!

Among the spectators, some couldn't help swallowing, unable to suppress the tension in their hearts.

Looking at the intense confrontation between the two figures in the tornado storm and the dense lightning generated by the energy friction, someone finally couldn't help but declare, "This is insane! This is not a battle between individuals in the Sky Apex Realm, but like two armies of Sky Apex Realm experts clashing. If we were caught in it, we would be crushed to pieces like driftwood, dying without a complete corpse."

"A peerless talent meeting a peerless talent, a rarity in hundreds of years, and we encountered it."

"I wonder who among them will have the last laugh."

At this point, no one dared to hastily predict the outcome, as it was uncertain who between the two would emerge victorious.

Peerless Sword had certainly established immense prestige before the competition, and whether in cultivation, talent ranking, or reputation, he held an overwhelming advantage over Ling Chen. However, now, no one dared to say Peerless Sword had a better chance of winning.

In this extraordinary and perilous world-class battle, everyone had become numb.

A temporary advantage means nothing. Whoever laughs last is the true king!

Boom boom boom!

In the arena area where all eyes were focused, within the tornado storm, the two had exchanged hundreds of moves, each executed with full force. For a time, the ground shook, dust filled the air, the sky turned dark, and air currents shot out. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

"Ling Yu, with your mere cultivation at the Seventh Realm of Sky Apex, how long can you last under my sword? In the end, you are bound to lose!"

Peerless Sword's expression was gloomy. He had used all his trump cards and still failed to take down Ling Chen. To him, a self-proclaimed Son of Heaven, this was a massive humiliation.

However, despite the humiliation, as long as he could win, it meant nothing. But if he lost, it would be an abyss for him.

He must win.

Even if he had to wear out Ling Chen on this platform!

On this point, Peerless Sword was confident. His cultivation far surpassed Ling Chen, and the thickness of his True Qi was likewise far superior. So, in prolonged combat, Ling Chen was definitely not his opponent. By the end of the battle, when Ling Chen's True Qi was exhausted, what would he use to fight?

But soon, he realized he was wrong, and terribly so.

After a series of fierce attacks, several dozen moves later, Ling Chen showed no signs of True Qi depletion, still able to steadily fend off Peerless Sword's attacks, unharmed. Instead, it was Peerless Sword who found his True Qi running low, unable to continue attacking Ling Chen recklessly.

"How is this possible?"

Peerless Sword could hardly believe it. How could this mere Seventh Realm of Sky Apex child, Ling Chen, outlast him, a semi-saint?

This kid is a monster!

"The plan to exhaust Ling Yu seems to have fallen through for Peerless Sword."

Below the stage, Sima Xiaoyao watched clearly, sighing with emotion. He could see Peerless Sword's tactical intentions, but given the current situation, Peerless Sword's intentions seemed unattainable.

"Although Ling Yu's True Qi thickness is far inferior to Peerless Sword's, each of his sword strikes is highly efficient, often using five parts strength to achieve a tenfold effect. Peerless Sword's idea was correct, but using it on Ling Yu was a miscalculation."

Beside him, Liu Mengru also shook her head and said lightly.
