Chapter 485: Chapter 349: Myriad Sword Meteor (Part 2)

"Do you understand? Are there any other questions? If not, the trial begins now."

Yu Changsheng’s brow furrowed. He looked up at the sky full of Sword Shadows, all hanging high in the firmament with their tips pointed at him, glinting with a cold light. The power of a single one was nothing special, but the might they unleashed when combined forced Yu Changsheng to brace himself, his heart pounding in alarm.

And the number of these Sword Shadows was staggering, likely no fewer than ten thousand.

’I have to control half of them, which means five thousand Sword Shadows. The difficulty of this requirement is no small feat...’

After taking a deep breath and confirming that all his own Statuses were at their Peak, Yu Changsheng lightly cupped his fist toward the Sui Xian Sword Spirit and nodded.

"This junior understands. Thank you, Senior."

"Good."

The Sui Xian Sword Spirit gave Yu Changsheng a deep, meaningful look. With a light wave of its hand, the brewing Sword Shadows instantly erupted. Sword Intent flared, and a terrifying pressure burst forth without the slightest reservation.

WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH!

The Sword Shadows transformed into world-shocking rainbows of light, breaking the limits of speed. They descended like a meteor shower of swords, carrying an unparalleled momentum as they stabbed down toward Yu Changsheng along specific trajectories.

The Sword Shadows were like stars, the Sword Intent like a rainbow. The void trembled. The countless Sword Shadows in the sky united, playing like a vast, world-shattering symphony. Individually, each one was chaotic, but together, they formed a magnificent movement, their momentum unstoppable.

And this Sword Technique and Method was hidden within that musical movement.

The movement constantly changed, rising and falling, sometimes erupting with killing intent. The world-shaking Divine Soldiers arrived with a chilling pressure, exploding from a single point into an entire front.

Countless Sword Shadows descended in a swirling torrent, all hurtling fiercely toward Yu Changsheng.

"Divine Light Body-Breaking Celestial Technique!"

Yu Changsheng roared. A blinding golden light erupted, forming a brilliant golden cloak that draped over him. His entire body was veiled in a layer of golden sand, creating a shroud of protection.

His Physical Strength erupted completely. As the Yang Family’s supreme Secret Technique for empowering the physical body, the power of the Divine Light Body-Breaking Celestial Technique was naturally astonishing. It had helped Yu Changsheng turn the tables on many occasions.

Under the enhancement of the Divine Light Body-Breaking Celestial Technique, Yu Changsheng’s physical toughness, strength, Defense Force, and recovery ability all increased dramatically.

But he wasn’t finished. After activating the Divine Light Body-Breaking Celestial Technique, Yu Changsheng closed his eyes. When he opened them again, a terrifying aura pulsed from his body.

"Thousand Mountains Technique, Thousand Mountain Armor!"

RUMBLE! A heavy suit of armor that seemed forged from earth and stone covered Yu Changsheng’s entire body. The Power of Earth surged continuously. The Divine Light Heaven-Piercing Cloak fluttered in the wind. At this moment, Yu Changsheng’s momentum was overwhelming. His body, already at Golden Core Peak, once again reached an inconceivable level.

As Yu Changsheng’s Realm continued to rise, the Thousand Mountains Technique was already having some trouble keeping up with his needs. Fortunately, his mastery of the Cultivation Technique was high, and when used in conjunction with the Divine Light Body-Breaking Celestial Technique, it could still produce a significant effect.

Wearing the Heaven-Reaching Cloak and the Thousand Mountain Armor, which fused together, his Physical Strength erupted in full. Beneath the sky of Sword Shadows, Yu Changsheng’s body stood as immovable as a mountain. His qi and blood surged like a vast sea. As the Sword Shadows fell, they only left faint white marks on his armor, which vanished in an instant.

’What a tyrannical physique...’

The Sui Xian Sword Spirit watched Yu Changsheng’s every move with a calm gaze. Seeing this, its pupils shrank slightly in surprise.

’However, this is just the beginning. The power isn’t even at ten percent. Even if your physical body is astonishing and gives you an advantage, this trial ultimately tests your Comprehension and talent for the Sword Dao.’

The thought made the Sui Xian Sword Spirit smile and shake its head, murmuring to itself.

’And how can you, someone who has never even been exposed to the Sword Dao, possibly pass? The master’s legacy is an intertwining of the Sword Dao and Beast Taming. Even if I wanted to give you just one of them, it would be impossible...’

’Good luck to you. If you can pass, I naturally have a great gift to offer.’

The Sui Xian Sword Spirit sighed softly to itself, then cast aside these miscellaneous thoughts and focused on administering the trial.

The Sword Light was a torrent, the falling swords like meteors. Beneath them, Yu Changsheng’s body, like a mountain and a sea, stood firm in the storm of Sword Shadows. He silently endured it all without a sound, while also concentrating on carefully comprehending what was happening.

’This Swordsmanship is too damn chaotic.’

The chaotic Sword Shadows flowed one after another. Each one radiated an astonishing Sword Intent and followed a unique trajectory. When combined, they seemed to reveal something.

Yu Changsheng’s brows were tightly knit. He could vaguely sense something, but he was always just a little bit off, as if separated by a paper-thin window he couldn’t quite break through.

’I should have learned some Swordsmanship beforehand...’

’Forget it. Since I’ve never been exposed to it, I’ll just observe with my utmost ability. I’m bound to find some clues... And just a single clue will be enough...’

Yu Changsheng felt a headache coming on. He muttered to himself, let out a long breath, and his gaze suddenly focused. A vast Divine Sense Power erupted from him, centered on his body!

His Sea of Consciousness trembled. Though his Divine Sense hadn’t reached a shockingly lawless level of strength, it was like an ocean, filled with a sense of boundless immensity, as if it could contain all the rivers in the world.

’This Divine Sense... has also reached Golden Core Peak...’

The Sui Xian Sword Spirit felt this, and its pupils shrank once again. It stared at Yu Changsheng, its brow slightly furrowed.

’A physical body and Divine Sense at Golden Core Peak... and at your age. I can sense that your Cultivation is also on the verge of stepping into the Golden Core Realm... This is quite remarkable...’

’Interesting. The master’s junior brother is not bad at all.’

The Sui Xian Sword Spirit let out a soft breath, and a slight smile appeared on its face. The meaning in the depths of its eyes grew even richer.

’In that case, even if you don’t manage to control fifty percent of the Sword Shadows in this trial, I suppose I could let you pass. I’ll give you a chance. Let’s see how far you can go...’

These thoughts flashed through the Sui Xian Sword Spirit’s mind, and its interest grew even stronger.

...

On the other side, the Sword Shadows rained down like rainbows, and even with Yu Changsheng’s physique, he was beginning to feel distinct pressure.

The damage they inflicted was already able to penetrate his layers of protection and reach his body, causing sharp pains.

In fact, the Sui Xian Sword Spirit had been right. As time passed, the Sword Intent’s attack frequency and power had both clearly increased significantly.

Fortunately, however, with the all-out eruption of his Divine Sense, the sky full of Sword Shadows... their fundamental trajectories, every movement, and every trace of Sword Intent and Sword Aura they unleashed... all appeared with infinite clarity in Yu Changsheng’s mind.

’Deconstruct, analyze, feel...’

Yu Changsheng continuously broke down the Sword Shadows, separating them, exposing every minute detail. Under this extreme observation, even though he had never been exposed to Swordsmanship, he began to grasp a thing or two.

The fluttering Sword Shadows and raging Sword Lights landed on Yu Changsheng’s body, which simultaneously made it more convenient for him to observe them.

And so, amidst the blur, a hazy strand of Sword Intent was captured. Within Yu Changsheng’s Sea of Consciousness, the Sword Shadows naturally began to arrange themselves in order, floating uncertainly. The faint outline of a Swordsmanship technique began to emerge...

"Surprise Goose Falling Sword..."

At that moment, Yu Changsheng was completely immersed in the Sword Shadows. The pain in his body was subconsciously ignored; only the Cultivation Technique within the Sword Shadows grew clearer and clearer.

A sword strike was like a rainbow. It was as if a truly startled swan had just flown past his eyes. Only by looking closely could one see that it was a sword.

"Surprised Swan..."

As Yu Changsheng was mesmerized, it was as if that paper-thin window was suddenly and completely shattered...
