Chapter 475 - 475: Metal Dao Intent
“You guys stay here and guard. There should be more people coming.”
Li Lingtian hid the other twenty Martial Emperor guards in the array on the mountain peak.
Then, he called out all the guards in the Divine Dragon Ring. There were 65 Martial Monarch Realm guards here. With such a lineup, even if two Seventh or Eighth Heaven Martial Monarch Realm experts came, they could still hold them back.
He had cast this array to seemingly block the mountain peak, but his true purpose was to arrange for this guard.
“We will definitely not let anyone enter this place.”
The 65 Martial Monarch Realm guards said respectfully. Then, 20 Martial Monarch Realm experts hid on both sides and formed a pincer attack. 45 Martial Monarch Realm experts in the middle blocked the attack head-on while the 20 Martial Monarch Realm experts on both sides secretly used Nine Nine to One. With such a formation, even an Eighth Heaven Martial Monarch Realm expert would be tricked.
Li Lingtian led Long Da into the mountain peak quickly. He then relaxed and sensed the final position of the Metal-type will.
The last time he had obtained the Earth Element will of the great path, he had been lucky. An ethereal existence like the will of the great path naturally wouldn’t be able to see a single item.
He slowly displayed his metal-type martial soul and used it to sense the metal-type will.
Sisi
Sisi
Energy swirled in the air as the metal-type aura dispersed. Li Lingtian unleashed his metal-type Martial Soul and allowed the aura in the air to erode him.
If he used other martial souls and defenses to block it, he would not be able to find the metal-type will of the great path, which was clearly courting death.
“Boom!”
A destructive pressure blasted over. The entire sky was completely golden.
The golden pressure from all directions gathered like a storm and formed a beam of light that shot toward Li Lingtian.
Li Lingtian was extremely shocked and hesitated.
If he didn’t block it, he would definitely disappear in the face of such a bombardment. If he blocked it, he might miss the chance to meet the metal-type will of the great path.
“I’m going all out.”
Li Lingtian hardened his heart. Since he had already mastered the Earth Element Dao Intent, even if he did not use his defense, his physique and Limitless Feather Coat would not be killed by the light. At most, he would be severely injured.
As long as he did not die, he could repair his body.
Long Da closed his eyes and a hint of anxiety flashed across his face. However, he quickly flew away. Since Li Lingtian had decided to take the risk, he would not stop him. Besides, it was too late to warn Li Lingtian.
Whether or not he succeeded would depend on Li Lingtian’s luck.
“Boom!”
In the blink of an eye, the golden radiance struck Li Lingtian’s body. Li Lingtian did not resist at all. Instead, he fully unleashed his Metal-System Martial Soul to receive the bombardment of the golden radiance.
However, what surprised him was that the golden light carried the power of destruction, but when it struck his body, it was as if he had entered a hot spring.
“I see.”
Li Lingtian thought to himself. The first ray of the Metal-type Dao Intent was a test of a strong practitioner’s scheming and courage. If he were to resist it, he would be instantly destroyed and vanish into thin air.
Those who possessed great courage would not be destroyed if they did not use their attacks or defenses.
A person who could make a decision in an instant in such a situation was definitely a person with great wisdom.
However, there were only one in a billion people like this, because the subconscious of humans was to resist.
The golden light enveloped Li Lingtian as streams of mysterious will entered his mind. He was completely relaxed as he sensed the will in his mind and comprehended the ultimate existence of the Metal Element.
The metal-type martial soul was the sharpest and most penetrating of the five elements in the world. It was known to be invincible.
It was also the only offensive Martial Spirit among the five elements of the world. A true offensive Martial Spirit. Even if other Martial Spirits could attack, they were only auxiliary.
Just like a tiger, it was born to eat strong food and weak meat. A true expert was also a true attacker. Although a lamb could attack and counterattack, it was considered self-defense and could only be considered as support.
Heaven and earth naturally had their own nature to collapse. Everything outside of their nature was support.
The metal element was the true attack and destruction. It was slaughter and destruction.
Li Lingtian’s mind was extremely clear as he entered a state of emptiness.
In the past, he had never seriously understood metal-type martial souls because he cared about the Ice and Fire Martial Souls and some heaven-defying treasures and skills.
Moreover, he had reached the Five Elements Perfection, so he believed that the Five Elements Martial Soul was truly under his control.
However, he finally understood that he didn’t understand the nature and function of the Five Elements Martial Spirit, let alone control the five elements.
The power of the five elements was not to balance the world. Instead, each Martial Soul had its own heaven-defying aspects. Only after the Five Elements had reached perfection would they be able to balance the world.
The earth element was the master of the earth and was half of the world. Although it was not very powerful, it had a heavy power. Without the earth, there would be no world.
Without heaven and earth, there would be no world, no humans, no living things.
Every existence had its own mission and meaning.
“Metal will, Lord of Destruction.”
After an unknown period of time, Li Lingtian finally had a slight understanding of the Five Elements. He did not encounter the other three types of Dao Intent but he now truly understood the Earth-type Dao Intent. He even managed to comprehend the Earth-type Dao Intent that he did not fully comprehend the last time he encountered the Metal-type Dao Intent.
Understanding the will of the great path meant that one would have the opportunity to control it. Controlling the will of the great path was a heaven-defying move.
There were also people who defied the heavens, and those who defied the heavens could achieve heaven-defying results.
After understanding a little bit, his wisdom was like being enlightened. The originally blurry world became clear, and he felt an unprecedented sublimation in his heart.
The sublimation of martial dao intent, the sublimation of mental state.
All the Genuine Vitality in his body disappeared and entered his Dantian. A destructive metal-type Martial Soul appeared. He didn’t know what was happening around him, but Long Da saw it clearly.
“Shh.”
He was shocked in his heart. This was too heaven-defying.
Li Lingtian’s boldness allowed him to withstand the bombardment of the golden radiance without suffering any harm.
In less than a minute, the surrounding Metal-type Spirit Qi and Dao Intent were surging toward Li Lingtian.
Moreover, the Metal-type Martial Soul that appeared on Li Lingtian’s body was rapidly absorbing the Spirit Qi and Dao Will.
In other words, Li Lingtian had received the will of the Great Path and comprehended the metal-type will.
The entire mountain peak began to tremble before it gradually turned into nothingness. Li Lingtian’s body was enveloped by a golden radiance that carried a destructive force.
It gave off a feeling of true destruction. Long Da’s heart trembled in front of this golden light.
“Yes.”
Li Lingtian moved his body and the golden radiance around him was absorbed into his body like a mist. Li Lingtian’s body was filled with a destructive Metal Element Twin Heavens.
“Boom!”
The array formation on the entire mountain peak shattered and Li Lingtian’s figure disappeared in a flash.
When he reappeared, he was already in the sky.
Sensing Li Lingtian’s departure, all the guards, including Long Da, quickly followed him.
Li Lingtian hovered in the air and watched the battle ten miles away. Thirty Martial Emperor guards surrounded Yao Lin and they were all injured but not seriously.
Yao Lin was also beaten up badly. It was impossible for him to escape.
” Heaven Sword Unity!”
” Let’s go!” Li Lingtian shouted softly as a golden radiance flashed on his body. Instantly, the Tianyu Sword appeared before him.
However, the Cosmic Sword was hovering above Li Lingtian’s head. Li Lingtian clasped his hands together and a shocking Destruction Sword Will appeared in the air. The Cosmic Sword was also fused with a golden light in his hand.
A hundred-meter-long light shadow appeared in Li Lingtian’s hand. He looked like a God of War.
At that moment, Li Lingtian’s figure vanished and a sharp sword appeared between the sky and earth. The hundred-meter-long radiance transformed into the sword’s body.
The guards who were fighting in the distance all saw the situation in the sky. This was a completely destructive heavenly sword.
With a supreme destructive pressure, he quickly dodged when he saw this situation.
In the instant they dodged, the destructive heavenly sword slashed down ruthlessly. The sky was split into two halves, and time stopped.
“Whoosh.”
“Boom!”
The short pause of time was restored, but when it was restored, the pressure of the Heavenly Sword had already split Yao Lin in half. Yao Lin’s body turned into ashes the moment the heavenly sword passed by him. He didn’t even have the time to scream.
With a loud explosion, a hundred-mile-long chasm appeared on the ground. It was pitch-black below and emitted a destructive aura. No one knew how deep it was.
The Heavenly Sword disappeared and Li Lingtian reappeared. His expression was calm and emotionless. There was not the slightest change in his expression.
“Peak of the Great Circle!”
” The third style of the Destruction Heaven Sword Formation: Heaven Sword Unity!”
” I’m sorry,” Li Lingtian said softly, as if he was speaking to himself.
It was the third move of the Heaven-Destroying Sword Formation, the Heaven-Sword Unity.
After obtaining the metal-elemental will of the great path, his state of mind and cultivation base had been sublimated. His entire person had been sublimated in all aspects, allowing the fifth level Supreme Realm, who had just broken through, to advance to the peak of the fifth level Supreme Realm. He was only one step away from the sixth level Supreme Realm.
More importantly, the Heaven-Destroying Sword Formation was also comprehended this time. The Heaven-Sword Unity was the third move.
The first move, Sword Howl, was a low-level heaven-grade divine power. The second move, Myriad Returning Swords, was a high-level, super-level heaven-grade divine power. However, the current Heaven-Sword Unity was a heaven-defying saint-grade divine power, which was also the so-called almighty divine power. Although it was only in contact with almighty divine powers, it had already surpassed heaven-grade divine powers.
Entering the saint-tier divine power, its power was destructive and beyond the imagination of martial artists.
“Congratulations, Young Master.”
” Congratulations, Alchemy Saint.”
Long Da and dozens of guards came forward to congratulate him. They were all shocked to the core. Li Lingtian’s attack had exceeded their imagination.
This attack was clearly not a heaven-grade divine power. It was a little like the legendary saint-grade divine power.
They were envious but happy. The stronger Li Lingtian was, the easier it would be for them. At least Li Lingtian could protect himself.
It was completely heaven-defying for a Supreme Realm expert to be able to reach such strength.
They could no longer describe the shock in their hearts. They were already numb to Li Lingtian’s heaven-defying abilities..
