Li Yuanbaâs âSupreme Yang Sword Intentâ might not be the strongest sword intent, but itâs one of the few capable of resisting the might of the Heavenly Thunder.
The Heavenly Thunder, having lost most of its power, was blocked overhead by the Fourth Grade Xingyi Sword, and its remaining residual force was completely expended.
He let out a long breath; the âTen Thousand Sword Peakâ body was too fragile. If Heavenly Thunder were to strike his body directly, his body, having been refined through Body Refining Techniques, could still resist a bit, but the âTen Thousand Sword Peakâ body probably couldnât withstand this Heavenly Thunder.
The thunderclouds in the sky once again gathered electricity.
Intense thunder energy enveloped the entire region, and even though the final Heavenly Thunder hadnât descended, Li Yuanbaâs hair was already dancing in the airless field induced by the thunder energy.
Without any hesitation, his Nascent Soul flew out from within, suddenly enlarging to become a Nascent Soul Dharma Form, towering over ten meters tall.
In the right hand of the Nascent Soul Dharma Form sat the Fourth-Grade Sword Foundation, while the Fourth Grade Xingyi Sword floated silently above him, and as for the âTen Thousand Sword Peakâ, it was held in the palm of his left hand.
It could be said that he was utilizing his full combat strength at this moment to contend against the final Heavenly Thunder.
His mind entered the âTen Thousand Sword Peakâ, where at this moment, the vast majority of flying swords were in a state of repair, rendering the usable sword count very low.
However, the five Top-Grade Fourth-Grade Weapon Tribulation Flying Swords had not been used yet, and he had reserved them precisely to handle this final Heavenly Thunder.
"Release the swords!" he shouted, and the five Top-Grade Fourth-Grade Weapon Tribulation Flying Swords flew out from within the âTen Thousand Sword Peakâ.
The five âHeavenly Thunder Sword Intentsâ within the five Top-Grade Fourth-Grade Weapon Tribulation Flying Swords formed a pentagon in the air, constructing a Defensive Array.
The pentagonal Defensive Array ascended toward the sky, with the five âHeavenly Thunder Sword Intentsâ driven by Li Yuanba to leave the Top-Grade Fourth-Grade Weapon Tribulation Flying Swords and form a line of defense above them.
âBoomâ, the world instantly turned into a field of white.
The might of the final Heavenly Thunder exceeded the second Heavenly Thunder by several times, causing the observing sword cultivators to be unanimously shocked and worried for Li Yuanba.
Only the Sword Elder watched calmly, with not a hint of worry in his eyes.
The final Heavenly Thunder crashed heavily upon the pentagonal Defensive Array formed by the five âHeavenly Thunder Sword Intentsâ, and in just a breathâs time, the pentagonal Defensive Array was demolished. The âHeavenly Thunder Sword Intentâ nearly obliterated under the assault of the Heavenly Thunder.
"Void Cut!" Li Yuanbaâs eyes shone with a sharp light, and he shouted once more.
The âVoid Cutting Sword Intentâ wasnât something he had cultivated. Although he controlled it within the five Top-Grade Fourth-Grade Weapon Tribulation Flying Swords, this control was far from being as effortless as his own âHeavenly Thunder Sword Intentâ.
This âVoid Cutting Sword Intentâ could only be wielded on the Top-Grade Fourth-Grade Weapon Tribulation Flying Swords and couldnât leave the sword bodies of these swords.
Li Yuanba had his own ideas. He had gauged the power of the final Heavenly Thunder; he didnât wish to scatter the âVoid Cutting Sword Intentâ of the five Top-Grade Fourth-Grade Weapon Tribulation Flying Swords only to have them broken individually.
The five Top-Grade Fourth-Grade Weapon Tribulation Flying Swords merged into one, like a single sword, uniting the five âVoid Cutting Sword Intentsâ as one.
This sword slashed at the descending Heavenly Thunder, creating a deep cut in the void ahead of its path. It was a mark left by the âVoid Cutting Sword Intentâ slicing open the void.
The Heavenly Thunder struck the torn void rift, its terrifying might constantly wearing away at the void breach.
After two breaths, the void rift vanished, not due to the might of the Heavenly Thunder, but because the void sliced by the âVoid Cutting Sword Intentâ could only be maintained for two breaths of time.
Li Yuanba was using the void rift to block the Heavenly Thunder, regardless of the Heavenly Thunderâs immense power, for to the void rift, it merely diverted the Heavenly Thunder to another space.
Alas, it could only last for two breaths. If it could persist a little longer, this final Heavenly Thunder could have been wholly swallowed by the void rift.
The five Top-Grade Fourth-Grade Weapon Tribulation Flying Swords, having lost the enhancement of the âVoid Cutting Sword Intentâ, were struck by the residual force of the final Heavenly Thunder, sent tumbling and flying far away.
This was due to the exceptionally high-quality of the Top-Grade Fourth-Grade Weapon Tribulation Flying Sword, as the Heavenly Thunder couldnât destroy them.
Moreover, Li Yuanba wouldnât fear the destruction of the Top-Grade Fourth-Grade Weapon Tribulation Flying Swords, because the five Top-Grade Fourth-Grade Weapon Tribulation Flying Swords were all energy swords, even if shattered, their essence would return to the âTen Thousand Sword Peakâ and reform within it.
"Xingyi Sword Slash!" Li Yuanbaâs Lifebound Flying Sword, long poised, struck as soon as the defense of the Five Top-Grade Fourth-Grade Weapon Tribulation Flying Swords was breached, the Fourth Grade Xingyi Sword slashed forth.
Due to the enhancement from the Nascent Soul Dharma Form, the power of âSupreme Yang Sword Intentâ grew severalfold.
The âSupreme Yang Sword Intentâ clashed with Heavenly Thunder, consuming much of the Heavenly Thunderâs might, before being obliterated by it.
Seeing the Heavenly Thunder about to fall onto Li Yuanbaâs Nascent Soul Dharma Form, the Fourth-Grade Sword Foundation in his right hand slashed with full force, simultaneously from within the Nascent Soul Dharma Form flashed the Cultivation Technique Rune Short Sword of the âSky-Surging Sword Intent Techniqueâ.
The rune within the Rune Short Sword radiated brilliant light, causing a metallic skin to form on the outside of his Nascent Soul Dharma Form.
With the blessing of the âSword Bodyâ, the defensive power and strength of the Nascent Soul Dharma Form increased manifold.
The Fourth-Grade Sword Foundation, under the empowerment of the âSupreme Yang Sword Intentâ, slashed upon the Heavenly Thunder.
The final Heavenly Thunder, after undergoing successive weakenings, was now a spent force and, when struck by the Fourth-Grade Sword Foundationâs slash, dispersed into pieces.
