Chapter 2322 -2320: Old Friends Chatting
“So terrifying, aren’t these Hicks and Ethan Smith from the Holy Region?”
“Are all the people from the Holy Region that unnervingly talented? Who do you think will win this match?”
“Both are at the Fourth Grade Realm, yet they’ve achieved feats like instantly killing Ninth Rank True Saints. However, if you ask me, Hicks seems stronger. His sword is unstoppable, while Ethan Smith seems to rely more on magical artifacts.”
Someone analyzed carefully.
“That’s not entirely right. I saw Ethan Smith’s body once—it was as solid as Geneiron itself. Even Situ Haoyue’s Starforce couldn’t hurt him. If you ask me, Ethan will win.”
At this moment, the duel in the sky had captivated countless cultivators’ attention.
Such battles at this level were once-in-a-lifetime opportunities for these top-tier cultivators. If luck were on their side, they might gain insights that could save years of arduous cultivation.
“The World’s Power is far stronger than before, and its rules seem more complete.”
Ethan Smith’s face turned solemn; Hick’s sword at that moment had already manifested an entire world.
*Could he possibly withstand the World’s Power?*
“One Sword, One World.”
Hicks opened his eyes and unleashed a strike.
Whoosh!
Ethan Smith took a deep breath, chaotic qi madly surging onto Sorin.
Nine massive Fire Dragons circled around him within the Ten Thousand Spell Breaking Punch, and this single punch struck directly toward the incoming Sword Qi.
Bang!
In an instant, Ethan Smith’s punch, along with the Fire Dragons, was obliterated—crushed into fragments. He was not even a match for a single blow.
*How terrifying!*
The Sword Qi reached Ethan’s presence in less than half a breath. In that fleeting moment, Ethan felt himself standing in another world.
In this world, tens of thousands of people were cultivating swordsmanship in different places.
Among them were clumsy children and mighty cultivators who exuded dominance over the heavens.
But every single one of them remained focused, calmly swinging their swords over and over again.
Countless Sword Intents, at the final moment, condensed into a single Iron Sword that slashed down at him.
Sorin Mountain, shattered.
Sorin Divine Clothes, shredded.
The Sword Qi landed on Ethan’s body, its terrifying Sword Intent roamed through his muscles, cutting him into countless pieces.
Even within his Sea of Knowledge, a shadow of the sword emerged, slashing toward him.
Ethan Smith’s muscles convulsed wildly, neutralizing the Sword Qi as much as possible.
The Golden Light of the Saintly Body Skill fiercely tangled with the Sword Qi, lessening the horrifying power of the Sword Intent.
Meanwhile, in Ethan’s Sea of Knowledge, his boundless Divine Sense Power surged like ocean waves, washing away the Sword Intent.
A hundred streams of Soul Breaking Gold Light hacked toward the Sword Intent, finally grinding the Sword Intent within the Sea of Knowledge into dust.
*No, my body won’t hold.*
Ethan’s face displayed terror as the Divine Consciousness Pearl emitted a blinding golden light.
Under the Spiritualization Technique, his body manifested a colossal golden hand.
The golden hand grasped the Iron Sword.
Bang!
Ethan’s body retreated tens of thousands of meters, as countless Divine Sense Power and Sword Qi battled and shattered. Finally, the sword’s strike slowly quieted down.
Ding!
A crack appeared on Hicks’s Iron Sword. His face turned deathly pale, and he seemed unable to remain levitating in the air.
Ethan Smith moved swiftly, grabbing him and taking him up to the mountain peak.
“I lost.”
“I have too many magical artifacts. Without Sorin, I really wouldn’t have been able to survive that strike. It was terrifying.”
*Remembering that strike just now still sent shocks through Ethan’s heart.*
*How could this be a strike unleashed by a Fourth Grade cultivator?* Ethan thought.
*If Situ Haoyue had been in his place, he might have been directly slain.*
“A loss is a loss,” Hicks replied, shaking his head.
Haha.
Ethan didn’t argue. He extended his palm, channeling chaotic qi into Hicks’s body.
Hicks took a long time to recover.
“You’ve received information from the Holy Region, so why did you hold back the first time?”
“You and I have no grievances or hatred. I’ll only use a sword matching your realm. Surviving is your own skill.”
“My brother is also imprisoned by the Wilson family in Skywater Prison.”
“My sister too. As long as I grow stronger, my sister becomes safer.”
Seeing Ethan’s confusion, Hicks continued explaining:
“If the demon clan, ghost race, and demon race invade the three realms, they will need our strength.”
Ethan finally understood. People like them had to be controlled by some measures.
Otherwise, if the different races launched a crazy attack, who would willingly sacrifice themselves?
“Hicks, do you think the chasm between True Saint Fourth Grade and Fifth Grade can be crossed?”
“My sword is the Dao of Rules. What about yours?”
Hicks pondered deeply.
“I think if one wants to transcend the Path of Heaven, they must have their own path, just like Clayton Schmidt. Otherwise, with so many cultivators under the heavens, how could all of them enter the Tribulation Transcending Realm or even ascend to the Emperor Level? That’s simply impossible.”
“That golden hand you manifested at the end was quite interesting—it seemed to be formed by Divine Sense, and it seemed to surpass the power of this realm.”
“That’s my Divine Sense Power compressed to an extreme limit. Quantitative change results in qualitative change.”
Ethan didn’t hide the truth.
“That requires an extraordinary willpower. A cultivator with such resolute determination is the most crucial core aspect.”
Uncharacteristically, Hicks gave Ethan a rare compliment after hearing his explanation.
“You should get yourself a defensive artifact. Your offensive power is unbelievably overwhelming. Even among the prodigies I’ve encountered in the Holy Region, none have your destructive potential. But your defense is too weak. If I had diverted my focus earlier and used a spiritual pearl to launch a hidden weapon attack, you’d have been in serious danger.”
Previously, there were three challengers who approached Hicks. The shadow assassin attacked close to his body.
If they had managed to strike him with their dagger, it would’ve been perilous.
“Hmm, that’s true. But my mind cannot multitask. Once I use my sword, my entire Divine Soul is focused solely on it; there’s no time left to operate other magical artifacts.” frёewebηovel.cѳm
“Extreme offense is also a form of defense. In truth, offense and defense are relative concepts. Take Sorin, for instance; the Nine Dragons can be used for offense or serve as a defense. I know you’ve been comprehending Sword Intent within your Divine Sense—perhaps you could use that Sword Intent to temper your body and expand your meridians?”
Hicks’s eyes lit up, seemingly finding a new direction.
Now that Ethan’s consciousness had formed into pearls, his Divine Sense was incredibly sharp, allowing him to remember every detail during battles.
The Sword Intent Hicks wielded was the very suggestion Ethan provided through constant deductions within his Divine Sense.
“Thank you.”
“Your Divine Sense is terrifying. If your spiritual energy within your body could keep up, then even if you were faced with half-step Reversion Void Stage opponents, they wouldn’t be able to deal with you.”
Hicks also shared his suggestion.
The two sat on the ground, gazing at the heavens, chatting like old friends.
They casually discussed the paths of cultivation, both possessing incredibly resolute minds and extraordinary talent.
By the end of their night-long conversation, both had made gains.
“Ethan Smith, where have you run off to? I’ve brought you a delicious roasted leg—you have no idea how good it tastes!”
Salena Carpenter called out loudly from the mountain peak, holding a charred roasted leg in her hand.
“Damn, I’ll head back for now.”
Ethan Smith waved goodbye to Hicks and returned to his own mountain peak.
Heath Perez and Mabel Nebula were both covered in injuries, but their energy was overwhelmingly strong—they had achieved breakthroughs in a short period of time.
Heath had advanced to the True Saint Second-level, while Mabel had reached the Fourth Grade Realm.
