Supreme Dragon Lord

As his voice fell, the Thunder Sword Shadow, condensed from the Power of Thunder, shot violently toward Long Chen!

Witnessing this, Long Chen’s eyelids twitched, and his entire body grew taut. He had faced this attack head-on just a moment ago and had already sensed its tremendous power.

It’s indeed worthy of being the Eighth Form of the Heavenly Thunder Sword. Its power is truly astonishing!

With his current strength, he was unable to execute the Eighth Form of the Heavenly Thunder Sword Technique.

This is the gap in our strength.

Long Chen took a step forward, and an extremely terrifying force instantly emanated from his body. Countless streams of the Power of Thunder also descended from the sky, enveloping him completely.

He likewise unleashed a sharp and swift Sword Qi of his own! As it shot forward, the sharp Sword Qi suddenly morphed into countless Sword Shadows, resembling a torrential downpour as they rushed ahead.

This was the Seventh Form of the Heavenly Thunder Sword Technique: Thunders Mighty Power.

BOOM!!

The two powerful attacks collided, immediately unleashing a piercing roar. Terrifying energy ripples spread out from the point of impact, wave after wave, threatening to destroy the very space around them! The spectacle was astounding.

However, Long Chen’s attack only held for a moment before his opponent’s strike shattered it.

SPURT!!

Long Chen’s face turned deathly pale. His qi and blood roiled within him, and he couldn’t stop himself from spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"Ant!" his opponent roared, his voice brimming with fury. "You are no match for me! Stop these pointless struggles! Otherwise, your death will be a gruesome one!"

I refuse to believe that Long Chen can hold on for much longer.

However, to his astonishment, Long Chen’s eyes suddenly lit up. He seemed to have an epiphany, and a look of excitement crossed his face. Gritting his teeth against the searing pain of his wounds, he continued to wield the Blackwind Sword, relentlessly attacking his opponent.

One strike!

Two strikes!

Three strikes!

...

Long Chen swung with all his might, each strike building upon the last as their terrifying power converged. He had no intention of stopping, constantly assailing the man before him and pushing his speed to its absolute limit! Moreover, his speed had increased dramatically compared to before.

SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!

At this moment, Long Chen’s speed was incredible, as if his afterimages filled every corner of the space. He furiously swung his sword at the man.

Eighty strikes!

Eighty-one strikes!

Eighty-two strikes!

...

As Long Chen continued his assault, his sword speed grew ever faster, and the power contained within his strikes increased rapidly. With each swing, his comprehension of swordsmanship deepened. A majestic Sword Intent began to coalesce around him.

His opponent’s expression grew increasingly grave. He stared intently at Long Chen, his eyes brimming with unbridled killing intent. He could feel an intense threat from Long Chen’s relentless assault. He knew that if this continued, he would be backed into a corner. He had to break the current stalemate and interrupt Long Chen’s barrage.

He focused all of his Battle qi into the Sharp Sword.

The next second, his eyes sharpened. He locked onto Long Chen’s position, a dense killing intent flashing in their depths.

HUMM!!

An immensely powerful Sword Qi erupted, shooting straight for Long Chen.

Seeing this, Long Chen didn’t hesitate for a second, immediately activating the True Dragon Combat Technique! Although the Sword Qi knocked him back, it failed to cause any damage. And so, even as he was sent flying backward, Long Chen pressed forward again. He attacked like a madman, launching every strike with his full power.

Ninety-eight strikes!

Ninety-nine strikes!

Long Chen’s eyes widened, and in that instant, a tremendously powerful Sword Intent erupted from his body!

Sword Intent! After days of battle, Long Chen had finally comprehended Sword Intent!

BOOM!!

A powerful Sword Intent enveloped Long Chen, threatening to tear the very space apart.

"S-Sword... Sword Intent?" His opponent’s face filled with disbelief as he felt Long Chen’s power surge.

This kid actually comprehended Sword Intent right in front of me! How is this possible?!

A cold sneer touched Long Chen’s lips. "Let’s see if you can withstand this final strike!"

As his voice fell, the Blackwind Sword in his hand moved. An immense power suddenly converged within it.

"The hundredth strike!" Long Chen roared, swinging the Blackwind Sword with all his might.

HUMM!!

The mighty Sword Intent burst forth, shooting directly toward his opponent! Seeing this, his opponent’s eyelid twitched, and he hastily raised his defenses.

BANG!

With a muffled thud, the defense he had mustered was instantly shattered by the Sword Intent!

SLASH!

His opponent’s body shuddered violently. He looked down to see a long, deep gash on his body.

"This... how is this possible?" His eyes widened, his face contorting in a savage expression. He had never imagined that the Sword Intent Long Chen unleashed could contain such immense power! It was simply inconceivable!

Just as he finished speaking, his body shattered into pieces. With a low thud, he turned to dust and vanished completely before Long Chen’s eyes.

Watching his opponent disappear completely, Long Chen finally heaved a sigh of relief. His body went limp, and he nearly collapsed, only managing to stay upright by using the Blackwind Sword as a crutch.

At the same time, a spatial passage appeared a short distance away.

Seeing the passage, Long Chen didn’t enter immediately. Instead, he endured the severe pain racking his body and slowly sat down cross-legged. He then retrieved an Elixir Pill from his Storage Ring and consumed it to begin healing. After the hard lesson he’d just learned, he didn’t dare enter the spatial passage with such severe internal injuries. If he were to suddenly encounter another powerful enemy, he feared he wouldn’t be able to defend himself.

Therefore, to be cautious, Long Chen decided to heal on the spot before entering the passage to the next layer.

「A day passed.」

Long Chen slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a long, turbid breath. After a day of healing and recuperation, his injuries had completely recovered. Only his heaven-defying constitution allowed for such a rapid recovery. Anyone else would likely still be grievously injured.

Long Chen stood up and stretched his limbs. Then, with a leap, he shot toward the spatial passage.

This was the seventh layer of the tower—the final layer.
