Ling Chen’s eyes sharpened. From the black longsword, he sensed the presence of Sword Dao. Its power must be almost equal to his. A seven-star Emperor Realm cultivator can touch the level of ’Dao’. And for Zheng Dong, an eight-star Emperor Realm cultivator, to comprehend the Sword Dao to such an extent is also quite impressive. "Haha, but it’s just a mid-level Emperor Spirit Technique, what can it do to me?" Ling Chen smiled lightly. A powerful aura emanated from Ling Chen. "Hmm, a seven-star Emperor?" Zheng Dong’s expression tightened. He originally thought Ling Chen was just a six-star Emperor. He did not expect Ling Chen to be a seven-star Emperor! This young man was actually able to conceal his cultivation level right under his nose; his methods are indeed good. However, that is no excuse for this young man to be defiant and abusive towards him! He is an eight-star Emperor, and just the difference in one level of World Power is something Ling Chen can never make up for! A Divine Soul Attack? For he is an early-stage Level Seven cultivator of the World Realm. Even a top-tier Divine Thought Master is helpless against him! "Green Lotus Dharma Sword!" In Ling Chen’s hand appeared a Red Long Sword, and 144 strands of mixed red and green Green Lotus Sword Qi burst out, finally condensing into a three-inch small sword! "Young man, I didn’t expect your concealment techniques to be so clever, but you must die too!" Zheng Dong sneered coldly, his longsword summoned, that black longsword instantly transformed into a streak of black light, piercing violently towards Ling Chen. His intent to kill Ling Chen was decided. In Black Water City, no one could defy him! Ling Chen’s mind moved, and the three-inch small sword also shot towards the other side. The two swords, vastly differing in size, collided in the air, creating a thunderous explosion, and the terrifying shockwave swept all around, being absorbed into a massive Void Rift. Zheng Dong’s face changed drastically. His strike didn’t defeat Ling Chen? To know, his strike was reinforced by eight levels of World Power and Sword Dao! "Has he also comprehended Sword Dao?" Fang Jie, witnessing this scene, his mind felt frozen. The Sword Dao mastered by Ling Chen was even superior to his. It had reached a level comparable to that of the City Lord! The watching cultivators were all dumbstruck. Although the City Lord hadn’t yet used a top-tier Emperor Spirit Technique, this strike was still almost unbeatable within Black Water City. Just the difference in one level of World Power stood like an insurmountable chasm in front of everyone. Zheng Dong was the first to recover, asking incredulously. Ling Chen comprehending Sword Dao he could barely accept. But Ling Chen fighting him to a draw, that he couldn’t fathom at all. He couldn’t understand how Ling Chen had managed to bridge that gap of a single level of World Power! To know, one level of power normally requires double the Spiritual Power to equalize. But Ling Chen’s Spiritual Power was still lower than his! "You don’t deserve to know!" "Well, you youngster, I’ll show you the real skills of this City Lord!" Murderous intent flashed in Zheng Dong’s eyes. Even if Ling Chen could withstand this strike, so what? This was not his most powerful technique! "Red Training Xuan Python Strike!" A chilly voice exploded from Zheng Dong. As seen, a full 144 strands of black Sword Qi erupted from the longsword, filling the space of dozens of feet around Zheng Dong. "Top-tier Emperor Spirit Technique!" "This is a superior Emperor Spirit Technique!" The watching cultivators immediately became excited. Superior Emperor Spirit Techniques are rare indeed. Usually, only those who are eight-star Emperors can perform them. Superior Emperor Spirit Techniques are naturally difficult to cultivate. Especially in the World Prison, where Spirit Crystals are scarce, making it difficult to cultivate Spirit Arts. "Superior Emperor Spirit Technique?" Ling Chen’s eyes narrowed, and a serious expression swept across his face. If the opponent resorted to a superior Emperor Spirit Technique, only by using Green Lotus Bloodline Essence Blood could he withstand it. In fact, after advancing to the fourth level of the World Realm, Ling Chen would be able to cultivate superior Emperor Spirit Techniques. With his talent, although it was difficult to cultivate the superior Emperor Spirit Techniques, he could still succeed after some time. However, he had not done so. Because he wanted to succeed in one go, directly cultivating the sixth form of the Green Lotus Sword Manual, Green Lotus Dragon Transformation. Along with the Green Lotus Bloodline, he could handle even a nine-star Emperor. However, he dared to challenge Zheng Dong. Naturally, he had his reliance. Zheng Dong uttered a low shout, and 144 streams of Sword Qi gathered in front of him, soon to form a ten-meter-long red giant python. Ling Chen snorted coldly, his Divine Soul Telekinesis converging within the Sea of Consciousness into a Great Sun Seal, then launching a Divine Soul Attack towards Zheng Dong. This was Ling Chen’s reliance! When he controlled the World Realm five-star Emperor before, he knew Zheng Dong’s true cultivation—early seventh level of the World Realm! Such cultivation, even a general superior Emperor Realm Divine Thought Master’s Divine Soul Attack wouldn’t work. But he was different. His Divine Soul was comparable to that of a superior Emperor Realm Divine Thought Master, and more importantly, his Divine Soul Telekinesis was augmented with the burning power of Red Lotus Karma Fire. Red Lotus Karma Fire was specifically against Divine Souls. Therefore, his Divine Soul Attack was effective against early seventh level of the World Realm as well. Just as the Red Training Giant Python was about to form, Ling Chen’s Great Sun Seal entered Zheng Dong’s Sea of Consciousness. Zheng Dong felt as if his Divine Soul was being burnt by fire, a sudden intense pain overpowering him. He could no longer control the surrounding Sword Qi. The Sword Qi that was about to form into a python collided wildly. Luckily, Zheng Dong had Spiritual Power protection around his body. Thus, he wasn’t injured. But he was still knocked back more than ten meters. Everyone was dumbfounded. Just when they were about to witness the re-emergence of a superior Emperor Spirit Technique, Zheng Dong actually made a mistake and was nearly rebounded by the Spirit Art. "Zheng Dong, you dare to use a superior Emperor Spirit Technique in front of a Divine Thought Master like me?" Ling Chen smiled indifferently. Zheng Dong roared, "Even Elder Cai can’t hurt you, not to mention a middle-ranked Emperor Realm Divine Thought Master like you!" At this moment, his eyes were blood-red, a result of his Divine Soul being burnt! "Divine Soul Attack?" Newest update provıded by 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵~𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖~𝙣𝙚𝙩 Upon hearing this, Elder Cai’s face showed an incredulous expression. Seeing the City Lord’s wretched state, he vaguely guessed the reason. But he couldn’t believe it was Ling Chen who launched the attack. Ling Chen’s Soul Attack was indeed almost comparable to his. But even he couldn’t injure a World Realm level seven powerhouse! How could Ling Chen possibly do it? "Who is it, get out here!" Zheng Dong scanned around. Surely there was a powerful Divine Thought Master hidden nearby taking action. "You really can’t recognize Mount Tai even when it’s right in front of you!" "Then let’s give you a taste again!" Ling Chen smiled slightly and once more used the Great Sun Seal, attacking Zheng Dong. At this moment, no one else intervened, so many people could sense the Divine Soul fluctuations and realize it was Ling Chen who initiated it. As the Great Sun Seal entered Zheng Dong’s Sea of Consciousness, he let out another agonizing scream.
