Chapter 182: Chapter 180: Frenzied Bitter Cultivation

The *Infinite Sword Technique* was originally a Celestial Tier High-level Sword Technique.

However, through the ages, most of it was lost. It is now only considered an Earth Tier Advanced Sword Technique, with a total of five techniques.

First Technique: Blood Rain Without Limits.

Second Technique: Great Sun Without Limits.

Third Technique: Endless Sky.

Fourth Technique: Endless Universe.

The fifth technique is Supreme Infinite...

Upon mastering the First Technique, one becomes invincible among peers of the same level. Upon cultivating the Second Technique to Great Perfection, one can defeat enemies two levels higher, and so on...

Once all five Sword Techniques are fully mastered, one can slay powerful enemies five levels higher.

With Jiang Chen’s current cultivation at the True Martial Realm Sixth Stage, if he could master the fifth technique, he would even be able to fight and defeat a master at the Heavenly Destiny Realm Second Stage!

If he unleashed all his trump cards, even a master at the Heavenly Destiny Realm Second Stage would die at his hands!

’That Luo Qing is ranked third on the Spirit List. It’s said he once cut down a Heavenly Destiny Realm Second Stage master with his saber. This time, I killed Luo Cheng and crippled Luo Rui, so once I get to the Saint Martial Sword Sect, Luo Qing will almost certainly come looking for trouble. In that case, I’ll first cultivate these five techniques to the Realm of Perfection, then devour Spirit Crystals to raise the *Divine Demon Tyrant Body* to the Peak of the Second Stage!’

With that thought, Jiang Chen immediately began to comprehend the *Infinite Sword Technique*.

’First Technique, Blood Rain Without Limits. It was created by the expert who invented this Sword Technique. Back when he was comprehending the Sword Dao, he was suddenly ambushed. Thousands of top masters besieged him. Amidst the slaughter, he tempered his skills and had an epiphany, ultimately creating this move. The most critical aspect of this technique is the speed of the sword strike. The attacks are like a torrential downpour, leaving the enemy with nowhere to hide!’

Jiang Chen’s eyes lit up.

He studied the Sword Diagrams in the *Infinite Sword Technique*, practicing his swings with the Cyan Blade Sword and unleashing streams of Sword Qi.

In an instant, he delivered sixty strikes!

Jiang Chen shook his head and sighed. ’That’s not it, still not right... According to the *Infinite Sword Technique*, initial mastery of the First Technique should allow for a hundred strikes in an instant, and Great Success should allow for five hundred. If I can reach the Great Perfection Realm, I should be able to unleash a thousand streams of Sword Qi in the blink of an eye. I have to keep increasing my speed!’

Standing in the Celestial-level Training Room, Jiang Chen continuously practiced his strikes, following the techniques recorded in the *Infinite Sword Technique*.

SWISH—

SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!

The sword grew faster, its edge sharper!

In the blink of an eye, the entire training room was filled with endless flashes of light from his sword. His speed was already enough to leave many masters at the Peak of the True Martial Realm in the dust, but Jiang Chen was still not satisfied. He shook his head, sometimes frowning, sometimes with a glint in his eye, constantly experimenting. ’No, no, that’s still not it. This speed isn’t enough... Hmm, I’ll try merging my Wind Sword Intent into the Sword Technique and see how powerful that is!’

Sword Intent was a form of will!

It was also a manifestation of one’s mind!

Jiang Chen circulated the Sword Technique, merging his Wind Sword Intent into his moves. Feeling the fluctuations of the wind, he launched one strike after another.

He was five percent faster than before...

’It’s working!’

A look of joy spread across Jiang Chen’s face as he practiced the Sword Technique with even greater focus. Flashes of light from his sword filled the entire training room. He grew faster and faster, reaching an extreme where the blade itself became a blur...

’Faster!’

’Faster still!’

’It’s not fast enough! I can go faster!’

’Yes, yes, just like that! Keep going...’

Jiang Chen became almost possessed, striking out again and again, never tiring.

In the mountains, one loses all track of time.

The same was true for Jiang Chen, who was lost in a frenzied state of training within the practice room.

Before he knew it...

A full month and a half had passed since Jiang Chen entered the Celestial-level Training Room.

「On this day.」

Inside the Celestial-level Training Room.

Dressed in black, Jiang Chen stood perfectly still, like a wooden statue. Suddenly, he snapped his eyes open.

Two piercing rays of light shot from his eyes.

HUM—

His body moved, and his longsword swept through the air. "Blood Rain Without Limits!"

SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!

Stream after stream of Sword Qi shot through the air, filling the entire training room like a torrential downpour. One, two, three... a full thousand streams of Sword Qi formed a storm of blades, radiating a sharp and destructive aura.

It looked as though the Sword Qi was about to destroy the training room.

Just then, Jiang Chen struck again. "Great Sun Without Limits!"

SWISH!

A cyan light howled from the Cyan Blade Sword, instantly unleashing a thousand streams of Sword Qi that began converging the moment they left the blade. The thousand streams merged into a single, massive blade of energy that radiated a scorching light, like a great sun hanging in the sky.

HSSSSSS...

The moment it appeared, the Great Sun Without Limits strike collided with the Sword Qi from Blood Rain Without Limits.

The rumbling sound was deafening.

The two powerful Sword Techniques, unleashed simultaneously, threatened to annihilate everything around them. The terrifying energy was on the verge of exploding.

"Endless Sky!"

Jiang Chen showed no fear or panic. His face was calm as he raised his arm, his entire body pulsing with sword light. He looked like an invincible Sword Dao Venerable, radiating absolute power.

He swung his sword in a wide arc. With a sound like ripping fabric, the air itself was torn asunder. A beam of sword light that seemed to come from beyond the heavens shot forth, colliding with the two previous, unparalleled streams of Sword Qi.

HUM—

The entire training room shook violently. This final, peerless stream of Sword Qi acted like a king among swords, completely extinguishing the other two terrifying energies.

"Phew!"

After a full thirty seconds, the violent aura filling the room finally calmed down. Jiang Chen let out a long breath, a hint of resignation in his voice. ’The *Infinite Sword Technique* truly lives up to its name as a former Celestial Tier Sword Technique. It’s too difficult to cultivate. Even after a month and a half, I’ve only mastered the first three techniques. There’s no way I can improve it further in a short time. I’d better focus on advancing my *Divine Demon Tyrant Body* and my cultivation first!’

Jiang Chen put away his longsword, sat down cross-legged, and took out a pile of Spirit Crystals.

A full five thousand Spirit Crystals were piled before him.

Jiang Chen was wealthy enough not to care about the cost. Without a second thought, he began circulating the *Divine Demon Tyrant Body* to absorb the abundant energy within the Spirit Crystals.

ROAR!

Strange patterns appeared on the surface of Jiang Chen’s skin, making him look like a majestic and powerful Divine Demon. The patterns all over his body glowed with a brilliant light. The pile of Spirit Crystals vibrated violently as streams of surging power transformed into a torrent of energy that flowed into Jiang Chen’s body.

The runes on his skin grew ever brighter!

Jiang Chen’s body was also undergoing a subtle transformation.

At the same time...

As the *Divine Demon Tyrant Body* rapidly strengthened his physical form, Jiang Chen also devoted a strand of his consciousness to guiding the *Profound Yellow Undying Technique* to refine the Mixed Element Golden Pill within his body.

The energy within the Mixed Element Golden Pill was terrifyingly immense!

It held enough power to push Jiang Chen’s cultivation all the way to the Peak of the Heavenly Destiny Realm, but his physical body wasn’t strong enough to contain that much energy. Therefore, Jiang Chen needed to advance his *Divine Demon Tyrant Body* so he could accelerate the refining process of the Mixed Element Golden Pill.

「Time flowed by.」

Another half a month went by. Jiang Chen had devoured a total of fifty thousand Spirit Crystals, and his physical body had been tempered to its limit, reaching a level comparable to an Advanced Profound Tier Weapon. His *Divine Demon Tyrant Body* had officially reached the Peak of the Second Stage. To advance it further, he would have to refine a Second Revolution Tyrant Essence Pill.

The Mixed Element Golden Pill inside him had shrunk noticeably, and the aura pulsing from his body grew increasingly wild and fierce. He had advanced two full stages, reaching the True Martial Realm Eighth Stage!

’With my current strength, I can even kill a master at the Heavenly Destiny Realm Second Stage. I could even put up a fight against someone at the Heavenly Destiny Realm Third Stage. I should have enough power to protect myself once I get to the Saint Martial Sword Sect!’ Jiang Chen thought. He calculated the time and realized there was only half a month left until his agreed-upon meeting with Bai Ling.

’It’s about time I went back!’

He rose to his feet, Sword Qi surging around him. With exquisite control, he directed streams of energy to shave the stubble from his face and trim his unruly hair. A fervent battle lust gleamed in his eyes. "Saint Martial Sword Sect... Jiang Ziyou, Lan Haichen... Jiang Chen is coming for you!"
