Chapter 10

"WHAT? Someone claims they can break the Heavenly Martial Sword Array?"

This news swept through the entire Heavenly Martial Sect like a hurricane. Not only did a large number of disciples rush over upon hearing the news, but even the elders came. It had been many years since anyone dared to challenge the Heavenly Martial Sword Array, after all, the reputation of this sword array was too great.

"This kid wants to break the Heavenly Martial Sword Array? What a joke? At fifteen, he hasn't even reached the True Qi Realm, and he dares to claim he can break the Heavenly Martial Sword Array?"

"I thought we were going to see a good show, but I didn't expect it to be just a boastful and arrogant youth. If even he can break the Heavenly Martial Sword Array, then haven't we all been living for nothing all these years?"

"Regardless, this kid does have some courage. Let's just watch for the fun of it. Besides, recruiting disciples is just a way to pass the time!"

No matter how these people viewed or thought about it, they all believed that Ling Dao absolutely could not break the Heavenly Martial Sword Array. This was their consensus, and the consensus of everyone present. They were only there to watch the spectacle, eager to see how Ling Dao would embarrass himself.

For thousands of years, countless geniuses and powerful figures had attempted to break the Heavenly Martial Sword Array, but all of them failed. Even the successive patriarchs of the Heavenly Martial Sect did not have the ability to break the Heavenly Martial Sword Array.

"Young man, opening the Heavenly Martial Sword Array for you is a waste of time. Why don't you just leave now?"

An elder said coldly. He was the elder responsible for guarding the Heavenly Martial Sword Array. In his view, opening the Heavenly Martial Sword Array for Ling Dao was a desecration. A mere inexperienced youth, claiming he could break the Heavenly Martial Sword Array, was simply unbelievable.

"I will definitely break the Heavenly Martial Sword Array. Open it!"

Ling Dao's words made the elder in charge of the Heavenly Martial Sword Array's face change. The more confident Ling Dao was, the more the elder felt it was a desecration of the Heavenly Martial Sword Array. The elder snorted coldly, extremely displeased with Ling Dao's attitude.

"It seems that after so many years of the Heavenly Martial Sword Array being dormant, many people have forgotten its power. Very well, today I will open the Heavenly Martial Sword Array again, to show the world its might!"

"Activate the array!"

In the center of the square, there was an uninhabited area, which was where the Heavenly Martial Sword Array was located. The elder bowed three times to the air, and the entire square began to rumble.

"Bang, bang"

Ancient long swords burst out of the ground, shooting up into the sky, making a tremendous noise. Each sword emitted a sharp and intimidating aura, reflecting a dazzling cold light in the sunlight. A total of seven hundred and twenty-nine ancient long swords were arranged in the sky.

"Go in!"

The elder walked to Ling Dao's side and said coldly. Different realms of martial artists received different treatments when entering the Heavenly Martial Sword Array. For a Physical Body Realm martial artist, the Heavenly Martial Sword Array only exerted the power of the Physical Body Realm. For a True Qi Realm martial artist, the Heavenly Martial Sword Array exerted the power of the True Qi Realm.

The Heavenly Martial Sword Array tested one's achievement in swordsmanship, not one's strength. Only those who surpassed the founder of the Heavenly Martial Sect in swordsmanship could possibly break the Heavenly Martial Sword Array. Of course, if the challenger's strength far exceeded that of the founder, they could break the Heavenly Martial Sword Array through sheer power.

Looking at the sky full of ancient long swords, Ling Dao remained calm and composed, stepping into the Heavenly Martial Sword Array. He had dared to intrude into the Purple Micro Holy Land; a mere sword array could not scare him. Compared to the Purple Micro Holy Land, the Heavenly Martial Sect was like an ant to a dragon.

"Clang, clang!"

The moment Ling Dao stepped into the Heavenly Martial Sword Array, the ancient long swords began to emit clear and crisp sword sounds. All seven hundred and twenty-nine swords moved as if controlled by someone.

"Elder, may I borrow a sword?"

Standing under the seven hundred and twenty-nine swords, Ling Dao's expression was calm, without a hint of panic, which surprised the elder guarding the Heavenly Martial Sword Array. In such a public setting, Ling Dao naturally could not take out the Free and Easy Sword. Both the Cosmic Ring and the Free and Easy Sword were extremely precious. Ling Dao understood the principle of not flaunting wealth, and he could not protect the Cosmic Ring and the Free and Easy Sword at the moment.

"I can give you a sword, but I'm afraid you won't even know how to use it!"

At fifteen, Ling Dao had not even reached the True Qi Realm, let alone the Physical Body Realm. The elder naturally did not think Ling Dao was very powerful. He took out a long sword and threw it to Ling Dao from a distance. He did not deliberately try to embarrass Ling Dao, as there was no need.

"Thank you!"

After receiving the sword, Ling Dao's aura clearly changed. If before, Ling Dao gave the impression of a weak youth, then after he held the sword, he transformed into a proud swordsman!

At the same time, the seven hundred and twenty-nine ancient long swords suddenly fell from the sky, descending vertically towards Ling Dao. The overwhelming sword qi enveloped the area, and the power of each sword seemed to be connected through the sword qi.

"Quite a good sword array. It seems the founder of the Heavenly Martial Sect was also a swordsmanship genius!"

If Ling Dao's thoughts were known by others, they would probably think he was crazy. The founder of the Heavenly Martial Sect was not even a match for Ling Dao's previous life. The Heavenly Martial Sword Array, which no one had broken in thousands of years, was only rated as "quite good" by Ling Dao.

"Come on!"

The sword was drawn, and Ling Dao took a step forward, thrusting out a sword. Immediately, his sword seemed to multiply, transforming from one to ten, ten to a hundred, and a hundred to a thousand, continuously colliding with the ancient long swords. His realm was low, so the power of these swords was not great.

This was a contest of swordsmanship, not a contest of realms. Ling Dao's eyes were bright, reflecting the ancient long swords. His movements became faster and faster, so fast that even the elders could not see clearly.

The Heavenly Martial Sword Array contained the founder of the Heavenly Martial Sect's understanding of swordsmanship. Each of Ling Dao's sword strikes aimed to break the array, using his own understanding of swordsmanship to attack the founder's swordsmanship. It was as if a duel across time and space, with two swordsmanship geniuses facing off.

"Break it!"

A thousand sword shadows converged, and Ling Dao, holding the sword, slashed forward with a powerful strike. This strike seemed ordinary, but it contained his achievements in swordsmanship. He was confident that this strike would break the Heavenly Martial Sword Array!

"Boom"

The overwhelming sword qi surged into Ling Dao's body. With a loud explosion, the seven hundred and twenty-nine swords were all sent flying. Each sword was now dull, and the previous confrontation had been won by Ling Dao. The Heavenly Martial Sword Array was broken!

"This... He broke the Heavenly Martial Sword Array?"

"Impossible! How could the Heavenly Martial Sword Array be broken so easily?"

"What a joke? A mere youth who hasn't even reached the Physical Body Realm, can break the Heavenly Martial Sword Array?"
