Chapter 57: Breaking Through to the Origin Sea Realm Fifth Layer, Perfected Sword Intent!

Meanwhile.

Mercer Family, Main Hall.

Inside the spacious hall, powerful Sword Intent filled the air.

Julian Mercer sat cross-legged on a meditation cushion, his eyes tightly closed.

Every pore across his body was open, drawing in the surrounding Spiritual Energy and refining it into his own cultivation.

After several days of cultivation, combined with the accumulated strength of the entire clan, Julian had made another breakthrough.

He had successfully reached the Origin Sea Realm Fifth Layer!

However, his progress in the Sword Dao was even more astonishing.

Ever since obtaining the Nameless Sword Manual, his understanding of the Sword Dao had advanced by leaps and bounds.

In just a few days, his Sword Intent had progressed from Minor Achievement to Great Mastery, and finally reached the Perfected level!

He was now only one step away from condensing a Sword Heart and entering the ranks of the Sword Marquis.

Such progress in the Sword Dao was almost unheard of.

Even Great Mastery Sword Intent was enough to trap and kill numerous Star Wheel Realm sword cultivators, leaving them unable to move freely.

As for Sword Heart, it was usually something that only Moon Wheel Realm or even Sun Wheel Realm sword cultivators could comprehend.

The difficulty of reaching that level was obvious.

At that moment, Julian completed another cycle of the Pure Yang Limitless Skill.

Just as he was about to continue cultivating, footsteps sounded outside the main hall.

His sharp senses immediately picked up the movement.

Julian stopped circulating his cultivation technique and withdrew the Sword Intent surrounding his body.

He slowly opened his eyes and turned toward the entrance.

A young Mercer Family disciple walked inside, bowed respectfully, and reported:

"Reporting to the Clan Head. Swordmaster Eamon Strake has arrived at the mountain gate. He wishes to challenge you to a sword exchange. What are your instructions?"

A sword exchange?

Julian’s eyes flickered with interest.

He hadn’t expected his reputation to spread so quickly.

Even the famous Swordmaster Eamon Strake had heard about him and traveled all the way to Crownfall Mountain for a sword exchange.

I’ve heard that this man’s swordsmanship is extraordinary. Now that I’ve reached Perfected Sword Intent, he’s a suitable opponent to test my understanding.

Julian rose from his meditation cushion.

He had already decided to meet the visitor.

However, before he could take more than two steps, the System’s notification suddenly sounded.

[Ding~ A limited-time Clan Mission has been triggered: Sword Exchange]

[As the host’s influence continues to expand, you have attracted a talented sword cultivator to challenge you]

[Ding~ Two reward options are available]

[Option 1: Defeat the opponent and receive one Elementary Treasure Blind Box]

[Option 2: Kill or subdue the opponent and receive two Elementary Treasure Blind Boxes]

[Mission Duration: One]☆〔let’s see how much he take 〕

"Oh?"

Julian couldn’t help smiling when he saw the available rewards.

Someone had arrived just when he needed a suitable opponent, and the System was offering rewards on top of that.

It was quite convenient.

However, after noticing the mission’s time limit, Julian lost interest in walking over at a leisurely pace.

He wanted to settle this quickly.

He immediately left the Main Hall and activated the Primordial Skywing Art.

His figure blurred.

In the next instant, he shot down the mountain at astonishing speed.

...

Mercer Family, Mountain Gate.

Eamon Strake had been standing with his eyes closed, waiting patiently.

Suddenly, he sensed something and opened his eyes.

An elegant man dressed in white had appeared not far away.

The newcomer looked at him with a faint smile.

What incredible speed!

Eamon’s eyes flashed.

There can’t be many people on Crownfall Mountain with such cultivation and dressed in white. This must be Julian Mercer.

Although his eyes had been closed, his Divine Sense had continued covering the surrounding area.

Years of traveling alone had taught him to remain alert, even when resting.

He hadn’t expected that habit to let him witness such astonishing speed.

The two Mercer Family disciples standing nearby also sensed the movement.

They instinctively raised their heads and followed Eamon’s gaze.

When they recognized the newcomer, their expressions changed.

"It’s the Clan Head! The Clan Head has come personally!"

"We pay our respects to the Clan Head!"

Both disciples immediately bowed.

Julian nodded in acknowledgment before walking toward Eamon.

As he approached, his Insight Eye quietly activated.

In an instant, he saw through the visitor’s cultivation.

Origin Sea Realm Ninth Layer!

Eamon was only one step away from breaking through to the Star Wheel Realm.

With such cultivation, it was no wonder he had earned such a formidable reputation across the surrounding territories.

Eamon, however, had no idea that Julian had already seen through his cultivation.

His left hand tightened around his sword hilt.

The fighting spirit within him surged, and sharp Sword Intent spread from his body.

Standing before such a formidable opponent, he could barely restrain his desire to draw his sword.

The two Mercer Family disciples felt the pressure and quickly retreated several steps, leaving the open space to the two sword cultivators.

Julian and Eamon exchanged a glance.

Neither said anything.

They both understood why they had come.

Whoosh!

A gentle breeze passed through the mountain gate.

Eamon moved.

He pushed off the ground with his toes, leaving his original position in an instant. His left hand drew the longsword from his waist, and its blade shot straight toward Julian’s chest!

His swordsmanship did not imitate the techniques of a hundred different schools.

He had developed it through years of fighting, refining every movement through countless life-and-death encounters.

There were no unnecessary flourishes or flashy movements.

Only speed, precision, and killing power.

This was a sword meant to take lives!

Swish!

The blade carried a terrifying killing intent. Its momentum seemed capable of piercing through anything in its path as it rushed toward Julian.

Excellent swordsmanship.

Julian praised inwardly.

Based on this single attack, Eamon’s swordsmanship was already enough to threaten someone like Roland Locke.

Had Roland faced this strike, he might have lost his life before he could react.

Unfortunately, Eamon’s opponent was Julian.

Julian had no intention of drawing his Shadowbound Sword.

It was a Heaven Rank Top Grade Dharma Treasure. If he used it against Eamon’s ordinary longsword, the difference in quality alone might shatter the latter’s weapon with a single clash.

That was not what Julian wanted.

Therefore, when Eamon’s sword came within three fingers’ breadth of his chest, Julian finally moved.

His speed had reached an astonishing level.

His body shifted slightly, leaving several afterimages behind.

Eamon’s sword pierced through empty air.

"What kind of speed is that?!"

Eamon’s pupils contracted.

His attack had missed completely.

Julian’s movement was far beyond anything he had witnessed among Origin Sea Realm cultivators.

Even the Star Wheel Realm powerhouse he had encountered in the past might not have possessed such terrifying speed!

Although shocked, Eamon quickly suppressed his emotions.

He was still in the middle of a battle.

His wrist turned, changing the sword’s trajectory from a thrust into a downward slash.

The blade swept toward Julian with renewed force!

This time, Julian didn’t dodge.

In the brief instant before the sword arrived, he casually picked up a nearby tree branch.

He wrapped it in Pure Yang Primordial Energy, strengthening it until it could withstand the force of the incoming blade.

Then Eamon’s sword came crashing down.

Julian raised the branch and flicked it upward.

His movement was precise.

The branch slipped past the sharp edge of the blade before striking the sword’s body with tremendous force.

Bang!

A thunderous impact echoed through the mountain gate.

Eamon’s expression changed drastically.

He felt as though his treasured sword had collided with a boulder weighing ten thousand jin.

The weapon trembled violently in his hand.

His grip nearly failed.

What kind of power does this Julian Mercer possess?!
