Nine Realms Sword Emperor-Chapter 1406 - 1407: Half-Step Celestial

Rumble!

The punch of the copper man struck out with unstoppable force, shattering the pervasive Sword Qi into pieces.

At the same time, the countless Sword Qi exhausted all of the martial arts power of that punch.

With one move, the result was a draw.

"Again!"

Chu Fengmian laughed aloud, holding an iron sword, took a step forward.

The Sword Intent hovered above Chu Fengmian’s iron sword, making this ordinary iron sword even stronger than a typical heavenly-level Spiritual Artifact.

"Sword Slash Void!"

Even without Spiritual Power, Chu Fengmian was able to perform swordsmanship with his profound Sword Intent.

In an instant, the Sword Light slashed onto the copper man, and the intense battle resumed.

Move after move, they continuously clashed.

"Destroy!"

An hour later, after Chu Fengmian fully understood the martial arts of this copper man, the Sword Light suddenly became enormous.

It transformed into a colossal Sword Light, descending upon the copper man.

With a single sword, the copper man before him was shattered by the Sword Light, breaking into pieces.

The eighteenth level, breakthrough.

Hiss.

Outside the Martial Arts Tower, Yan Huang and Qing Meng were both shocked to see the eighteenth level light up.

The Martial Arts Tower has only twenty-one levels; now Chu Fengmian has reached the nineteenth level.

"Could this person intend to pierce through the heavens?"

Yan Huang muttered to himself.

He had just entered this Martial Arts Tower and knew its difficulty; he had been defeated at the thirteenth level.

Now Chu Fengmian has reached the nineteenth level in one breath, still unstoppable, leaving him both shocked and determined.

"I must not be enemies with this person. He is too terrifying. He has a great chance of achieving the Heavenly Human Realm in the future."

Yan Huang was also extremely glad he hadn’t provoked Chu Fengmian.

Otherwise, being an enemy with someone like Chu Fengmian would definitely be a nightmare.

The nineteenth level.

Chu Fengmian arrived at the nineteenth level, where the same copper man awaited him.

But just seeing this copper man made Chu Fengmian feel an immense pressure in his heart.

It seemed as if all the martial arts of the All Heavens were under this copper man’s control; he was the embodiment of martial arts.

"Half-step Heavenly Human!"

The copper man of the eighteenth level had already comprehended the peak martial arts of the Emperor Sovereign.

But the nineteenth level was a half-step Heavenly Human, just one step away from the Heavenly Human Realm.

The term ’half-step Heavenly Human’ is actually used to describe some Nine Tribulations Ancient Emperors who had mastered part of the Heavenly Human Realm’s power.

A half-step Heavenly Human has surpassed the scope of the Emperor Sovereign Realm, closer to the Heavenly Human Realm.

"The nineteenth level is a half-step Heavenly Human Realm. What about the twentieth level? The true Heavenly Human Realm? And the twenty-first level?"

Looking at the copper man before him, Chu Fengmian sighed internally.

The difficulty of the Martial Arts Tower was even higher than he had imagined.

He had never encountered a half-step Heavenly Human before, but now he had to first comprehend the martial arts of a half-step Heavenly Human within this Martial Arts Tower.

However, Chu Fengmian was still confident in this battle; he still had cards up his sleeve that he hadn’t played yet.

"Sword out!"

Swish!

An iron sword condensed into existence in Chu Fengmian’s hand; he stepped forward, aiming the Sword Edge directly at the copper man’s chest.

Boom!

The copper man suddenly moved the moment Chu Fengmian drew his sword.

Its fist wind targeted Chu Fengmian, a punch striking fiercely.

At the moment when the fist wind locked onto him, Chu Fengmian felt an incomparable pressure, as if his body was being suppressed by a force.

The mere power of this punch was enough to crush Chu Fengmian alive.

"A casual move can mobilize the power of Heaven and Earth?"

Chu Fengmian felt the pressure on him and his expression changed.

The power of the Heavenly Human Realm was something Chu Fengmian had never encountered, only heard of in ancient texts.

Now, the moment he engaged with this copper man, Chu Fengmian understood the might of the Heavenly Human Realm.

With a wave of a hand, it was enough to mobilize the power of Heaven and Earth.

The Emperor Sovereign Realm, although able to mobilize the power of Heaven and Earth, mainly relied on the Heaven and Earth Laws within the body.

Once martial arts reach the level of a half-step Heavenly Human, there’s no need for Spiritual Power or Heaven and Earth Laws; every move represents the power of Heaven and Earth.

This ordinary punch is much stronger than the power of an unparalleled heavenly-level Martial Technique.

Martial Techniques that can mobilize the power of Heaven and Earth are standouts among heavenly-level Martial Techniques.

And when martial arts reach the realm of a half-step Heavenly Human, a wave of the hand can achieve such power.

No wonder the martial techniques created by the Heavenly Human Realm are called Immortal Techniques; now even a casual strike has such terrifying power, indeed a different power than the Emperor Sovereign Realm.

"Boom!"

Chu Fengmian’s Sword Edge was shattered under the punch’s impact.

Facing the martial arts copper man of the Emperor Sovereign Peak, Chu Fengmian had been able to handle it with ease and win, but against the martial arts copper man at the level of a half-step Heavenly Human, in an instant, Chu Fengmian was at a disadvantage.

The power of the punch, after shattering Chu Fengmian’s Sword Edge, aimed directly at Chu Fengmian’s body, not giving Chu Fengmian any chance, intending to obliterate him.

"Looks like I can’t hold back any longer!"

In an instant, Chu Fengmian realized in his mind that if he continued to hold back, there would only be defeat. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

"Nine Domains!"

Chu Fengmian murmured, and the Sword Intent on him suddenly changed.

Nine Domains Sword Technique.

The Sword Technique created by Chu Fengmian was also his most powerful, representing the highest achievement of Chu Fengmian’s Sword Dao.

Previously, Chu Fengmian hadn’t used the Nine Domains Sword Technique because he wanted to see what step his Sword Dao accomplishment had reached.

Without using the Nine Domains Sword Technique, the Emperor Sovereign Realm’s peak was the limit.

This is also the limit that ordinary martial artists or mythical creatures can achieve.

However, there are miraculous individuals who can comprehend martial arts at the Heavenly Human Realm level from the Emperor Sovereign Realm.

Jiuxuan Immortal Venerable was one of them; he could kill a Heavenly Human at the Nine Tribulations Ancient Emperor, and his martial arts comprehension likely reached the Heavenly Human Realm.

Even among the strong of the Heavenly Human Realm, his martial arts were among the top-tier.

Emperor Sovereign Realm comprehending martial arts at the Heavenly Human Realm level.

Jiuxuan Immortal Venerable could do it, and so could Chu Fengmian.

"Sword out! Stars shift!"

Boom!

Chu Fengmian pointed his Sword Edge and suddenly struck out his sword; at that moment, his aura suddenly changed, like a towering mountain rising from the ground.

Tens of thousands of Sword Intents surged from Chu Fengmian, and at this moment, he seemed to embody the Sword Dao.

Wherever the Sword Edge went, martial arts were shattered, and even the copper man was forced to retreat several steps.

Under this Sword Edge, even the martial arts of a half-step Heavenly Human couldn’t withstand it.

As a Sword Qi flashed by, the copper man, unable to defend himself, was pierced through by the Sword Qi.
