The Shining Star Above The Heaven-Chapter 947: Intense Sparring

Sect Master Huang’s sword almost reached Aldrian when Aldrian’s figure suddenly disappeared and reappeared beside the sect master. Aldrian had already struck with his own slash, but Sect Master Huang managed to block it even though the distance was extremely close.

Tang!

The seven swords had already flown directly toward Aldrian, forcing him to retreat to create distance and evade them.

With a solemn expression, Sect Master Huang dashed toward Aldrian.

’As expected, this will not be easy. Aldrian the Great is famous for his mastery of space laws, especially teleportation techniques,’ he thought.

’I must make sure that even if he uses teleportation, he will not have room to counterattack.’

He joined the attack in a coordinated manner with his seven swords. His body and the seven flying swords, each one powerful enough to threaten a pseudo immortal stage cultivator, created an amazing spectacle as they continuously pressured Aldrian.

The people who witnessed this were truly astonished by the sect master’s technique and the way he fought.

"Sect Master is truly amazing. He can use Seven Lotus Petal with such perfection. Even I can only use five, and I cannot control them as perfectly as the sect master," one of the grand elders said.

"Yes, and he could push back Aldrian the Great with it. But Aldrian the Great is equally impressive, for he could block all of those attacks. He is extremely fast, and his defense is impenetrable. Moreover, his teleportation is another thing that causes difficulty for the sect master," another person commented.

But then some of them suddenly felt something at their waist. For the spectators who had brought their swords to this place, they felt their swords trembling.

"My sword? This is a sword will?!" one of the spectators said before he saw his sword suddenly unsheathe itself and fly toward the direction of the battle. In fact, many other swords did the same, and they all flew toward the battle area, which astonished everyone.

More than a hundred swords flew to the battle area, and all of them actually headed straight toward Aldrian’s direction. Aldrian could sense more than a hundred swords coming at him, and he knew that Sect Master Huang was getting more serious.

He was also amazed by Sect Master Huang’s capability to control so many swords from such a distance and use them to attack him.

The swords headed toward Aldrian like rain, and the seven swords were still attacking him. The combination of the two kinds of attacks tried to overwhelm Aldrian, and that was exactly what Sect Master Huang was trying to do. He also prepared himself in case Aldrian used his teleportation again, ready to instantly strike the place where Aldrian reappeared.

Aldrian had to block and evade the strikes from more than a hundred swords. The swords that failed to reach him then returned and flew toward him again at great speed.

Now he had to face more than a hundred swords that Sect Master Huang could control. However, Aldrian could sense that the sect master’s control over the swords was no longer as fluid as when he only controlled seven swords.

That was why, despite the number of swords attacking him, Aldrian could still perceive weaknesses in the sword attack formation and use them to evade and block.

But he knew that he could not continue like this, so he decided to become more serious. Sect Master Huang wanted to learn something? Then he would give him a lesson.

Aldrian then unleashed his sword will, causing the swords surrounding him to instantly stop their movement. Even the seven swords from Sect Master Huang’s technique began trembling and halted, which astonished the sect master when he saw it.

Aldrian finally used his sword will, and Sect Master Huang was truly shocked. He could sense how powerful Aldrian’s sword will was. It was enough to affect even his Seven Lotus Petal and bring it to a halt, practically canceling his technique using only sword will.

Even his White Lotus Sword trembled as it sensed Aldrian’s sword will.

At this moment, he finally could sense the disparity and the gap between their sword wills, and he could not help but feel amazed. After such a long time, he finally sensed someone who possessed a much stronger sword will than his own. It gave him a slight enlightenment of how a far more powerful sword will would feel.

It made him smile, and it filled him with more spirit to make the battle even more intense.

The Seven Lotus Petal swords disappeared, and more than a hundred swords began falling from the sky as the sect master lost his control over them. Aldrian smiled as he looked at the sect master in the distance, wondering what he would do next.

He then saw Sect Master Huang take another stance, his sword pointed directly at him.

"Excuse me, Your Majesty," Sect Master Huang said, and suddenly Aldrian felt his surroundings transform into an environment filled with sword will. He could feel the sensation of his body being pierced by countless swords, and even when he breathed, he felt pain, as if he were inhaling countless tiny swords.

Aldrian understood what had happened, and once again he admired the sect master’s power.

’So this is Sect Master Huang’s domain,’ he thought.

Before he could think further, suddenly all around him, he could see many small white dots of energy forming and growing, shaping themselves into full sized swords. Their number was far too many to be counted by sight, and all of them were pointed toward Aldrian. It was like witnessing a weaker version of Aldrian’s Swords Apocalypse.

Aldrian’s sword will also did not have much effect at this moment, which made the power contained within each sword deadly even for pseudo immortal stage cultivators.

The people who saw this were truly amazed. From Sect Master Huang finally unleashing his sword domain and releasing such a technique, only a small number of people had ever seen this sect master’s power.

Aldrian looked at his surroundings, already filled with countless swords. Sect Master Huang did not give him any more time, as the swords instantly flew toward Aldrian like torrential rain.

If he teleported without using his domain ability, he would still be inside the sect master’s domain and remain surrounded by the swords.

Aldrian decided to block the swords with his defensive technique as he suddenly spun his body, slashing his sword around his surroundings.

It created a strong gust of sharp wind that swept across a wide area and scattered all incoming swords. Countless swords shattered, but Sect Master Huang was not discouraged, because he had already taken another stance.

He had already prepared a follow up attack, anticipating that the countless swords might not be enough to defeat Aldrian. He lifted his sword above his head with one hand. His expression was focused, and upon seeing Aldrian finish using his defensive technique, he finally released his own attack.

Heaven Split

He executed a downward slash with overwhelming momentum. The slash energy ripped forward, splitting the earth open behind it into a clear line of shattered soil that advanced directly toward Aldrian. The slash also caused space itself to crack and begin to crumble along its path, creating a terrifying spectacle.

Aldrian sensed the incoming powerful sword strike and finally used his own technique. Without taking any stance, he slashed toward the incoming sword energy.

Slash of Vanguard

Powerful slash energy erupted from the sword and instantly clashed with the strike from the sword master as the distance between them had already closed.

Crang!

A sound like shattering glass resounded as space collapsed at the point of impact, creating a large spatial rift. The impact also destroyed the land, forming a deep crater, and its effects spread far and wide as countless sword slash traces suddenly appeared as far as fifty kilometers away. The surrounding desert had already lost all of its sand and was now replaced by barren soil.

The spectators had already retreated much farther away the moment Sect Master Huang unleashed his technique. They knew it would be dangerous to remain any closer.

Their hearts shuddered as they looked at the destruction. Did this still count as sparring? Why did it feel more like Sect Master Huang and Aldrian the Great were fighting for real?

Inside the sword domain, Sect Master Huang looked toward Aldrian’s direction. Dust still covered his vision, preventing him from seeing Aldrian’s figure due to the chaotic space and thick clouds of debris.

His breathing began to grow uneven as fatigue set in from the continuous use of energy. Moreover, he was still maintaining his sword domain at the same time, which consumed a massive amount of energy.

However, despite looking tired, his expression showed a smile. He could unleash anything he wanted without worrying about the consequences, as he had finally found the right opponent. He had finally found a worthy opponent for his sword, and also for himself. Aldrian could help him break through to a higher realm of sword comprehension.

After waiting for a few moments, he finally decided to use another of his sword techniques. He could sense that Aldrian was still alright within the chaotic atmosphere.

This technique was his ultimate one, and he wanted to try it on Aldrian.

He grasped his sword with both hands in front of his face. With his sword pointed toward the heavens, a brilliant light suddenly descended from the sky, piercing through the clouds. The spectators in the distance suddenly felt pressure from above, as if the heavens themselves were unleashing it.

Their hearts trembled at this sudden scene as they looked toward the sky, wondering what in the world was happening.

Then their eyes widened in shock as something enormous suddenly appeared from behind the clouds, splitting them apart.
