Chapter 1284: Ten Thousand Swords Paying Tribute

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

On Hailong Island, the sound of swords slicing through the air rang out relentlessly. Each note marked the awakening of a sword soul!

In an instant, countless flying swords filled the island. The immense sword qi was suffocating, stretching across the skies, and the colossal sword formed from a thousand zhang of sword light seemed almost tangible.

The terrifying sword will did not stop at Hailong Island. It spread across the Inner Sea and throughout the Tianlan Sea Region, like a massive abyssal beast roused from slumber.

The Island Master's wife stared, wide-eyed with shock.

"Ten... Ten thousand swords paying tribute!"

Long Shanshan, standing beside her mother, could not help asking, "Mommy, what does ten thousand swords paying tribute mean?"

Her mother's expression remained grave as she fixed her gaze on the colossal sword in the distance. "This young man must be a king among swords. Only someone of his caliber could trigger such an extraordinary phenomenon while breaking through. A thousand years ago, a Human Emperor experienced the same phenomenon upon ascending. He later became a Great Emperor, a supreme swordsman revered for his mastery!"

"Yet Mr. Ling has only advanced from the Spiritual Element Realm to the Spiritual Sea Realm and already caused such a spectacle. His talent surpasses even that ancient sword emperor. If he does not fall prematurely, his future achievements could surpass the level of a Great Emperor."

Long Shanshan gasped. The talent capable of surpassing a great emperor confirmed it. This man could indeed become a Sacred Emperor!

"He's only at king-tier!"

The Island Master's wife clenched her fists. Even though the sword emperor of a thousand years ago also caused ten thousand swords to pay tribute, the scale of Ling Feng's phenomenon was far greater!

"

Gulp!

"

Inside the Island Master's mansion, elders and disciples were stunned, their eyes fixed on the sky.

The overwhelming sword shadows seemed alive, standing rigidly like countless soldiers awaiting the command of a supreme master!

Second Senior Brother Han Zhao clenched his teeth. "Damn it, my sword is bowing to that young man!"

Far across the Inner Sea, overlords of powerful sects struggled to control their own swords, yet the sword will emanating from Hailong Island forced even them to frown.

The colossal sword formed from clouds above the island seemed almost tangible. Its sword qi radiated outward in all directions, influencing countless martial artists even thousands of miles away.

Over the vast ocean, a massive figure flew through the sky. He sensed the sword will and lifted his gaze.

Tall and broad shouldered, he squinted at the colossal sword and murmured, "This aura... it feels like Ling Feng... Could he be breaking through to king-tier?"

This man was Lou Qianzhong. Even across millions of miles, Ling Feng's sword will affected him.

"He is only breaking into king-tier, yet he can trigger such a terrifying celestial phenomenon. That is exactly what I would expect of young brother Ling Feng!"

Lou Qianzhong shook his head and smiled, sensing he might be witnessing the rise of a future overlord.

In Tianhuang City, the Sea Emperor, Ice Emperor, and Thunder Emperor, three Human Emperors, all fixed their gaze on Hailong Island. Ice Emperor gripped his sword tightly and said, "Who could be causing this? My sword is bowing to an outsider!"

Thunder Emperor pressed his sword and asked, "Second Brother, could someone be breaking into Great Emperor already?"

"It is impossible. In the Inner Sea, no one could ascend to Great Emperor besides the now dead Venerable of the Desolate Sea," Sea Emperor replied gravely.

"Yet the aura feels somewhat like Ling Feng's," Ice Emperor said, clenching his fists. "When he was still in the Spiritual Element Realm, he could suppress us. If he reaches king-tier..."

Sea Emperor nodded. "We must yield whenever he appears!"

On a remote island, a young woman in violet robes sat cross-legged to cultivate.

She sensed the sword will and lifted her head, gazing toward the sky. She bit her lips softly and whispered, "Is that you, Ling Feng?"

The celestial phenomenon swept across the Tianlan Sea Region. From Ling Feng's seclusion, tremendous force erupted, tearing toward the heavens.

Whoosh!

Eight-colored lights swirled around Ling Feng, and eight attribute swords hovered beside him like eight dragons in flight. With this breakthrough, Ling Feng proved the sword dao through his sword, and from the sword itself, he finally ascended to the rank of Sword King.

His body rose higher and merged with the colossal sword formed from clouds, becoming one with it!

A king among swords had finally appeared in the world!

With a wave of his palm, the Eradicator of Realms appeared in his hand. As he moved it, spiritual energy surged and sword will roared. Tens of thousands of flying swords obeyed him, sweeping across heaven and earth. They struck in every direction, reinforcing his presence!

Swoosh!

Finally, Ling Feng opened his eyes. Sharp, radiant light shone from them, commanding every sword around him.

"Go!"

Ling Feng said with a light smile. The swords instantly returned to their sheaths.

At that moment, he glimpsed the true essence of the sword dao. His understanding of sword dao deepened. What had been his novice-level dual sword will now skyrocketed, as if propelled by a rocket.

The entire process lasted thirty breaths. Ling Feng's Slaughterous Sword Will and Reincarnated Sword Will reached their advanced peak.

Only one step remained before both could reach minor perfection!

Once the sword will reached perfection, even at minor perfection, its power would be incomparable!

"Congratulations, Mr. Ling," the Island Master's wife called out, flying toward him with a cupped fist.

The Island Master's wife's words snapped the cultivators on Hailong Island out of their daze. As they came to their senses, they realized that their legs were slightly bent, instinctively leaning toward Ling Feng, almost bowing in reverence.

It was not just ten thousand swords paying tribute, if it continued, it might well have become the worship of all living beings!
