Chapter 943: Thousands of Swords Paying Respect

890 streaks, 900 streaks.

Once 900 streaks of source power were connected by the splendor sword dao, Li Fuchen knew that the splendor sword dao was at its limits.

In Li Fuchen’s opinion, a sword art’s potential was determined by two factors. Firstly, it was the level of the sword art’s concept. Secondly, whether the sword art’s structure was complete.

Li Fuchen believed he had already achieved the limits for these two factors. However, the splendor sword dao had its limits and it was incomparable with the primary extreme sword dao.

“I wonder what strength will the splendor sword dao reach after I use it to break through into a heaven lord.”

Li Fuchen had a feeling that the Splendor Sword Art would break through to the supreme rate earlier than the Primary Extreme Sword Art.

The Primary Extreme Sword Art’s concept was superior and at such a high level that Li Fuchen couldn’t make it complete within a short period of time.

Of course, the harder it was for the Primary Extreme Sword Art to break through, Li Fuchen would be happier.

Just like the different levels of heaven lords, the supreme rate martial arts also had three different levels. Regular supreme rate martial arts, city lord-level supreme rate martial arts, and star domain-level supreme rate martial arts. The regular supreme rate martial arts were also separated into five grades, grade 5 being the lowest and grade 1 being the highest.

However, a city lord-level heaven lord might not possess a city lord-level supreme rate martial art. A city lord-level heaven lord simply possessed an overall strength of a city lord-level heaven lord.

After being in the Sword Star City for a period of time, Li Fuchen understood that it was extremely rare for anyone to connect with 400 streaks of source power before progressing into a heaven lord. Even in the history of the Twin Horn Galaxy, there were only a few swordsmen that had connected with 400 streaks of source power. It also meant that once the sword art broke through to the supreme rate, it would be a grade 2 supreme rate sword art.

Generally speaking, connecting with 100 streaks of source power would mean a grade 5 supreme rate sword art. Connecting with 200 streaks would mean a grade 4 supreme rate sword art. 300 streaks would mean a grade 3 supreme rate sword art.

With such a calculation, 500 streaks would mean a grade 1 supreme rate sword art. 600 streaks would almost be a city lord-level sword art.

As for 900 streaks, it should be considered an incredible sword art even among the city lord-level sword arts.

“How many streaks of source power do you think he has connected with?” The Flying Crane Heaven Lord asked the Snow Tiger Heaven Lord.

They might be heaven lords, but it was still hard to see how many streaks of connected source power Li Fuchen had.

Such a detail was only known by the individual.

“It is probably close to 500? Or already 500 streaks.” The Snow Tiger Heaven Lord said slowly.

“500 streaks? Doesn’t this mean that once his sword art breaks through to the supreme rate, it will be a grade 1 supreme rate sword art?” The Flying Crane Heaven Lord was shocked.

With a grade 1 supreme rate sword art, one would be at the pinnacle under the city lord-level heaven lords. Even if someone under the city lord-level heaven lords was able to defeat the individual, it would be impossible to get injured. After all, a regular heaven lord had a very hard time killing another regular heaven lord. Even if it was a sword dao heaven lord with a grade 1 supreme rate sword art, it would be hard to kill a sword dao heaven lord with a grade 5 supreme rate sword art. Even if the heaven lord would lose, they could simply escape. If a heaven lord wanted to escape, the success rate would be rather high.

A city lord-level heaven lord would be able to kill a regular heaven lord easily. However, an incredible city lord-level heaven lord would be required to kill a pinnacle regular heaven lord. Normal city lord-level heaven lords might not be able to do it.

The Flying Crane Heaven Lord and the Snow Tiger Heaven Lord were considered the upper echelons in the Swordsmen Guild, but their sword arts were only grade 3 supreme rate sword arts.

When the splendor sword intent withdrew, a simple and vast sword intent was emitted from Li Fuchen’s body.

At this moment, countless sword intents clustered around Li Fuchen.

It was as though they were paying their respects.

“What is going on?”

Not everyone was able to stir up supreme rate sword intents. Most of the people were only able to stir up formidable quasi-supreme rate sword intents. But now, all of the quasi-supreme rate sword intents they had stirred up were all gathering towards Li Fuchen. How could they not be astonished?

“Thousands of swords paying respect. What is this sword dao?”

The Snow Tiger Heaven Lord and the Flying Crane Heaven Lord felt that the surprises they received during these few days were more than the surprises they encountered a few thousand years combined.

“Thousands of swords paying respect!”

In the 2nd ring of the Sword Pool, the Tower Cloud Sword Saint Lord was stunned.

He cultivated the sovereign sword dao and this scene was familiar to him. However, it wasn’t simple to make countless quasi-supreme rate sword intents pay respect. To be accurate, it was harder than to ascend to heaven.

“Red Leaf Sword Saint Lordess, remember not to reveal how many streaks of source power the Primary Extreme Saint Lord had connected.”

Before coming to the Sword Star City, the Wind Cloud Sword Saint Lord didn’t understand the significance of connecting with 999 streaks of source power. He finally understood now. With 999 streaks of connected source power, once Li Fuchen progressed into a heaven lord, there was a high chance he would become a city lord-level heaven lord. Furthermore, he would be formidable even among the city lord-level heaven lords.

This was definitely shocking and unprecedented. Among the races, only the god race could reach the city lord-level after progressing into a heaven lord. It was impossible for the other races, even the titan race only had a few individuals that were capable of doing it.

Of course, there was no absolute in all things. In the Twin Horn Galaxy’s Swordsmen Guild, Li Fuchen might be the only person who could do it, but it might not be the case in the entire universe. Furthermore, sword dao wasn’t the only martial dao. There were other martial daos, races, and there were definitely unprecedented universe prodigies.

But no matter what, the Wind Cloud Sword Saint Lord felt it was a secret that should be kept. Otherwise, accidents might happen.

“I know.” The Red Leaf Sword Saint Lordess nodded.

How could she not know the terror of connecting with 999 streaks of source power. Once it was revealed, it wouldn’t just shock the Sword Star City, even the entire Twin Horn Galaxy would be shocked. It didn’t matter if any accidents might be stirred up, it was definitely not a good thing to be revealed. Who would willingly stand in the middle of a storm?

Just as the Red Leaf Sword Saint Lordess finished her statement, there was another phenomenon in the Sword Pool.

A large number of supreme rate sword intents appeared within the 3rd ring of the Sword Pool and gathered around Li Fuchen.

“Even supreme rate sword intents are paying respect.”

Most of the people were dumbstruck.

They couldn’t imagine what sword dao Li Fuchen had cultivated. Before reaching the supreme rate, it already made supreme rate sword intents yielded.

The Snow Tiger Heaven Lord and the Flying Crane Heaven Lord paid close attention to the Sword Pool. They wanted to see if any of the top ten supreme rate sword intents would come to pay respects.

After waiting for a moment, none of the top ten supreme rate sword intents appeared.

“What are we thinking about?”

The Snow Tiger Heaven Lord let out a bitter laugh. The supreme rate sword intents that surrounded Li Fuchen were mostly grade 5 or grade 4 supreme rate sword intents. There were only a few grade 3 supreme rate sword intents. There weren’t any grade 2 or grade 1 supreme rate sword intents. After all, Li Fuchen’s sword intent wasn’t at the supreme rate yet. Even with a great potential, grade 2 and grade 1 supreme rate sword intents wouldn’t pay respect to it. It was simply impossible for the top ten supreme rate sword intents. If even the top ten supreme rate sword intents were paying respects, didn’t it mean that Li Fuchen would surpass even star domain-level heaven lords when he progressed into a heaven lord?

“This is because the primary extreme sword dao is the purest of sword daos?” Li Fuchen was in contemplation.

With thousands of sword intents paying respects, Li Fuchen’s sword heart was clear as he absorbed countless sword dao essence.

The primary extreme sword dao was different from the splendor sword dao. As it was the purest sword dao, therefore, he didn’t need a certain category of sword dao essence. He required the most natural sword dao essence. In other words, Li Fuchen invited all and in his opinion, all sword daos had a trace of sword dao nature within. As long as he could see through the sword dao nature, the traces would gather into a tower, allowing Li Fuchen’s primary extreme sword dao to progress and break through the bottleneck.

Of course, Li Fuchen was only able to do this in the Sword Pool. It was almost impossible to achieve the same at other places.

After all, sword dao manuals couldn’t be compared with sword intents. It wasn’t hard to find traces of sword dao nature from a sword dao manual, nor was it hard to find the sword dao nature from 10 or 100 sword dao manuals. But to find sword dao nature from countless sword dao manuals? It would take an exaggerated amount of time.

Li Fuchen was suddenly looking forward to the progression of the primary extreme sword dao. He subtly understood that he had created a terrifying sword dao. It was a sword dao that had an extremely hard to break through to the supreme rate because it wasn’t complete. But once it broke through, it would be able to shock the entire sword dao world.
