The Shining Star Above The Heaven-Chapter 948: Sect Master Huang’s Strongest Technique

In the distance, where a city was located near a desert region, all the people who were carrying out their normal activities suddenly looked in one direction. They were stunned by what they saw as a gigantic object appeared from behind the clouds in the distance.

"Is that… is that a sword?" one of the bystanders said as he looked at the split clouds that revealed a giant white sword tip. Even though only the tip of the sword was visible, they knew it was a sword.

The moment many of them realized this, they were truly astonished. They could even sense the powerful aura coming from the sword tip, and it made their hearts tremble. Such a phenomenon could only be someone's technique, or a sign of the appearance of some kind of treasure or secret place.

But the question was, if this was someone's technique, who could unleash something like this? And who were they fighting to be forced to use such a technique?

If it was a sign of a treasure, then what kind of treasure could give off such a grand sign?

Driven by curiosity, many cultivators began their journey toward the direction of the sword tip. They wanted to see for themselves what had happened.

At this moment, from various directions, many people set off toward the sword tip. As its aura alone swept the clouds away, the sword became clearer and clearer. Yet even when the clouds were driven away, they still could not see the hilt of the sword. What appeared before them was still only its blade part.

Unknown to them, if someone were to look from space, they would see that the sword's length could reach the atmosphere.

The sword was truly humongous.

In the battle area, the people who were watching Aldrian and Sect Master Huang spar had already escaped to a much farther distance, away from the giant sword.

Sweat rolled down their foreheads as they were truly terrified by the aura of the giant sword. From that aura alone, there was no doubt that this was their sect master's technique.

However, no one had ever seen Sect Master Huang unleash this technique before.

Was this the sect master's most powerful sword technique?

That question rose in many minds, and they were amazed. In their eyes, this technique was no less spectacular than what they had seen from Aldrian the Great. Just by looking at the size of the sword and the power it contained, this technique might be able to kill many peak pseudo immortal stage cultivators.

If they could already feel such pressure from a distance, then what about the true focus of the technique? What state was Aldrian the Great in at this moment?

Aldrian, at this moment, had to withstand immense pressure, enough to force him to remain standing in his place. Space itself seemed to condense, becoming hardened and preventing him from moving freely. This change in space also made it extremely difficult for anyone to control space laws or use any space-attribute techniques or talismans.

In this situation, a normal cultivator would find themselves trapped in place, only able to wait for the giant sword to fall upon them.

But Aldrian looked up at the sky, where he could see a gigantic sword hanging above, ready to fall at any moment.

However, despite withstanding such immense pressure, he showed a smile and then looked toward the sect master in the distance.

Sect Master Huang also seemed to be enduring the effects of his own technique, and Aldrian could see that he had expended a large amount of energy to unleash it.

Yet despite the tired look on his face, Sect Master Huang appeared to be enjoying the battle, smiling toward Aldrian. It was as if what he had done was something normal in a sparring session, which was, of course, not normal at all.

Who would use their most powerful technique in a sparring session?

'To think that he can still stand steadily and even move his head without much difficulty. His expression does not show any discomfort at all.' Sect Master Huang thought.

After deciding that the time had come, Sect Master Huang did not hesitate any longer. With gritted teeth, he lowered the white lotus sword in his grasp, and the giant sword in the sky also began to fall.

Celestial Sword Fall from the Heavens.

Space collapsed as fierce winds spread across a wide region, and the pressure grew heavier and heavier as the giant sword approached the ground.

Aldrian then looked at the incoming sword with a slight smile. His body, which had become the center of the pressure, found it somewhat difficult to move. Thanks to the protection of his energy shield, the pressure was not overwhelmingly heavy.

Even so, he could still feel the suffocation and the heaviness in each of his movements.

If he had not protected himself with anything, his body would have already bent, barely able to hold itself against the pressure.

His expression suddenly turned sharp as the giant sword almost reached the surface of the world.

'Let's see if you can gain enlightenment from this,' he thought.

Suddenly, the aura around his body became sharp, and his bearing changed. It was as if his body itself had become a sword, sharp and resolute. He released his sword heart openly, allowing anyone to sense it.

Sect Master Huang, who could perceive this change, felt his heart shudder. At that moment, he felt that he comprehended something, yet before he could think further about what he had sensed from Aldrian, he saw Aldrian point his sword diagonally upward. And then—

Shhinngg!

A beam of golden light shot toward the sky, reaching the high atmosphere of the world. Aldrian then swung it toward the incoming giant sword, and the beam instantly collided with it.

The giant sword did not even last for two seconds before it split into two, from its lower edge all the way to the hilt in the atmosphere. The sword then shattered like giant glass, breaking into countless fragments. The impact caused a spatial storm high in the sky, sucking away a large area of the clouds.

Another effect followed as violent winds swept across the surrounding region. The people who witnessed this felt their bodies almost being thrown away, even though they were already at a great distance.

A massive dust storm also erupted, and a desert area spanning more than five thousand kilometers was stripped of sand, all of it swept away by the aftermath of the collision.

Sect Master Huang felt his soul shaken, and the flow of his energy became chaotic as Aldrian destroyed his technique.

Blood spilled from his lips, and he fell to one knee due to the pain tearing through his soul. His breathing became heavy, and his vision turned blurry. After unleashing Celestial Sword Fall from the Heavens, he could feel that his energy was almost entirely depleted.

A sense of drowsiness washed over him, and he wanted to close his eyes, but he forced them open.

He steadied himself as best he could, then took out a healing pill from his storage ring and swallowed it without hesitation. After that, he attempted to calm his chaotic energy flow and sat down in a meditative position.

He closed his eyes and focused on recuperating.

After a few minutes, he finally opened his eyes.

The thick dust around him had already cleared, and the destroyed landscape became visible. There was no desert left within his sight, only a barren land stretching into the distance.

He then turned to the side and saw Aldrian standing not far from him.

The moment he noticed that Aldrian seemed completely fine, without any sign of weakness or even a speck of dirt on his attire, he released a sigh.

'Truly a monster.'

Aldrian turned his head toward him, revealed a smile, and walked over. Sect Master Huang wanted to stand up, but Aldrian raised his hand to stop him.

"Please, Sect Master, stay where you are. You still need to recuperate. Excuse me, let me help you."

He then placed one hand on Sect Master Huang's shoulder and the other on his forehead.

Sect Master Huang felt a sudden warm sensation flow through his body and soul, especially his soul, which he knew had been heavily affected when his ultimate technique was broken by Aldrian. The warmth eased his pain and weakness, making them fade as if they had never existed.

After more than ten seconds, Aldrian finally stopped. Sect Master Huang released a sigh of relief, stood up, and cupped his hands.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for helping me. This healing technique is truly marvelous."

A trace of apology appeared on his face as he continued.

"My apologies if I went too far during our sparring, Your Majesty. I was simply too excited. I finally had the chance to try techniques I had wanted to use for a very long time."

Aldrian waved his hand. "No problem, Sect Master. In fact, I truly enjoyed our spar. That was a good fight. Moreover, I want to help Sect Master make a breakthrough to a higher realm of sword comprehension. From what I could sense, Sect Master only needs one more enlightenment to reach the realm of sword heart."

"Sect Master's sword will is truly powerful, and it is already halfway to the sword heart. That is why I knew this fight would give Sect Master enlightenment. I also deliberately unleashed my sword heart so that Sect Master could gain insight later. You only need to reflect on our battle. I believe Sect Master must have felt something earlier, right?"

Sect Master Huang raised his eyebrows, then nodded and smiled enthusiastically.

"I see. I think I finally know how to break through to the sword heart," he said, then cupped his hands and even slightly bowed his body.

"Once again, thank you, Your Majesty, for your help and the enlightenment."

Aldrian smiled and then looked into the distance. "I think our spar has attracted quite a lot of people. It would be better for us to go back before those people crowd this place."
