Chapter 1152: Chapter 1152: Breaking the Limits! Chapter 1152: Chapter 1152: Breaking the Limits! 720 streaks of sword light, with ghostly speed, slashed toward Huang Xiaolong.
This dense sword light sealed off all of Huang Xiaolong’s possible escape routes, whether they were in front, behind, to the left, right, above, or below him.
Moreover, each streak of sword light was faster, sharper, and carried a deeper sword intent than those that had previously been directed toward Huang Xiaolong!
Even worse, each streak of sword light represented a set of Shushan Sect’s sword techniques.
This meant that a total of 720 profound and inscrutable sword techniques were unleashed simultaneously in that instant.
In that moment, wherever the sword light touched, the minute particles of dust transformed into a primordial universe, a world of swords.
Surrounded by a meteor shower of brilliant and terrifying Sword Qi from all directions, Huang Xiaolong stood in this world of swords like a solitary leaf in a stormy sea, perilously close to capsizing!
Meanwhile, from the spectator’s platform erupted a thunderous roar of earth-shattering cheers–
“Sword God! Sword God! Sword God!”
“Nangong Hong is invincible! Nangong Hong is invincible! Invincible! Invincible!”
“Heavenly, integrating the sword techniques with the Sword Qi throughout the acupuncture points of the body, truly the work of divine craftsmanship!”
“This move, ‘All Swords Return to Origin’, encompasses almost all the sword techniques ever created by the ancestors and predecessors of the Shushan Sword Sect! A move with a thousand swords, unstoppable, annihilating both spirits and demons!”
…
Everyone, including those titans within the bronze halls of the sect, couldn’t help but develop a sense of worship for Nangong Hong.
Nangong Hong’s understanding and mastery of the Sword Dao had truly reached an unprecedented level!
What is a genius? This is it!
What is a freak of nature? This is it!
After releasing this ultimate killing technique, a matchless domineering aura also appeared in Nangong Hong’s eyes, regal like a prince. “That’s enough. Being able to die under this move of mine is already an honor! Your death is glorious, fitting for your valor!”
‘All Swords Return to Origin’ was the strongest attack Nangong Hong could unleash at his current level in the later stages of the Tribulation Crossing Realm! It was essentially capable of instantly killing a peak-stage opponent of the Heaven and Earth Resemblance Realm.
Nangong Hong was horrifically arrogant, firmly believing that amidst his contemporaries, no prodigy deserved him to use this move. Now employing it against Huang Xiaolong was indeed a form of grace, a kind of… almsgiving!
Huang Xiaolong must feel proud and honored by this!
In the blink of an eye, Huang Xiaolong’s consciousness began spinning rapidly!
The sword light, which was almost instantaneous, slowed down significantly in Huang Xiaolong’s sensory world!
It became extremely slow, extremely slow, extremely slow!
You must know, a normal person’s brain processes thoughts only a few times in one second.
But a cultivator’s consciousness can operate hundreds to thousands of times in one second, similar to a high-configuration computer, even faster.
Some uniquely gifted cultivators, like Nangong Hong, can have their consciousness operate up to tens of thousands of times per second. This was beyond human comprehension, breaking through the limits of the human mind.
Huang Xiaolong, being a deity, unquestionably had a superior consciousness to all beings, meaning that his consciousness was operating at least a hundred thousand times per second.
With such a bizarre speed of consciousness operation, everything around him started to slow down.
Next, Huang Xiaolong frantically began deducing the 720 streaks of incoming sword light~~~
Deduction!
Within the bronze hall of the Shushan Sword Sect!
“He’s dead. That brat is finally going to die by Nangong Hong’s sword! This move, ‘All Swords Return to Origin’, is majestic and all-encompassing, with the power to destroy heaven and earth. It’s a melding of all the quintessence of our Shushan Sword Sect~~~” a titan exclaimed, trembling with excitement.
Behind the curtain, the Sect Master of the Shushan Sect also spoke, immensely proud. “Let all the cultivators across the world witness the ultimate move of our Shushan Sword Sect. That kid won’t be able to evade it, even if he used that time-reversing talisman as before. After all, ‘All Swords Return to Origin’ isn’t just one sword, but 720, with immense power, not something that can be reversed by simple spells. This villain has plotted against our disciples several times and even killed my son Xiao Peng. He must die. After his death, I will step onto his Dragon Isle, giving Dragon Isle a river of blood and leaving no grass uncut! If there’s any titan backing this villain, we will eliminate them as well.”
The members of the Shushan Sword Sect no longer believed that there would be any suspense in this fight.
They weren’t making arbitrary judgments, as they were titans themselves, and their insights were accurate. From any perspective, Huang Xiaolong had no means of turning the tide.
On the combat platform.
Under the rapid operation and deductions of Huang Xiaolong’s consciousness, he had fully deciphered the subtleties of Nangong Hong’s sword and completely mastered the essence of ‘All Swords Return to Origin’ in an instant!
In fact, with Huang Xiaolong’s level of consciousness, as long as he seriously deduces an enemy’s move, he could mimic it directly.
Then return their own technique against them.
Previously, Huang Xiaolong never chose to do so as there was no need.
However, in his fight against Nangong Hong, Huang Xiaolong decided to use Nangong Hong’s proudest technique against him to achieve a deeply humiliating defeat!
‘All Swords Return to Origin,’ Huang Xiaolong had already learned it and in a mere fraction of a second had mastered it flawlessly!
“Hahaha~~ Your ‘All Swords Return to Origin’ is poorly practiced, not reaching the peak, full of flaws. Let me show you how it’s done and what the true ‘All Swords Return to Origin’ is like! With this move in your hands, it’s like casting pearls before swine, failing to unleash its strongest power, a waste.”
Huang Xiaolong transmitted his voice using his divine sense, which was innumerably faster than speaking with his mouth.
This allowed everyone present to hear Huang Xiaolong’s words clearly.
“Stop being stubborn! You dead meat, still pretending to be tough?” Nangong Hong said with an angry laugh. “This technique, All Swords to Sect, perfected to the highest realm, involves condensing a sword in each of the 720 acupoints in the body. In a single move, that is 720 swords, and each one corresponds to a different sword technique. A move of 720 swords, that is the limit! Throughout the ages, my Shushan Sword Sect has seen many a genius who practiced this technique. Many have tried, but no one has ever perfected it, flawlessly. 345 years ago, a genius from my Shushan Sword Sect achieved 711 swords, meaning sword techniques were condensed in 711 acupoints. But he wasn’t perfect, as he still lacked 9 swords. And I, Nangong Hong, have reached this limit! Unprecedented, and there will be no one like me after, this sword, is the God Slaying Sword, finally revealing its most radiant, most intense realm in my hands, Nangong Hong! I am the defier of heavens, the unparalleled monster. Under my sword, you only have death!”
Nangong Hong explained very clearly, the extreme realm of All Swords to Sect is indeed a move involving 720 swords because humans have only 720 acupoints!
No more!
Everyone thought Huang Xiaolong was being evasive and putting on airs. Not to mention, All Swords to Sect is a creation of our Shushan Sword Sect, what qualification do you, as an outsider, have to say that Nangong Hong’s move is not perfect, that it has flaws?
In the bronze hall of the Shushan Sect, the voice of the Sect Master suddenly echoed. “Impudence! You dare to criticize the unique technique of my Shushan Sword Sect? Madman, prepare to die! No one under heaven and earth can save your dog life now!”
“Heh~” Huang Xiaolong let out a cold laugh. “Fine, today I’ll let you all witness the true essence of All Swords to Sect!”
As soon as the words fell, with a whoosh, Huang Xiaolong’s entire aura unfolded, and a stream of Sword Qi soared into the sky, even tearing the white clouds in the sky!
At that moment, Huang Xiaolong exhibited an unrivaled demeanor; his whole being brimming with sharp energy, bursting forth like the morning sun! His aura was even more potent than the one displayed by Nangong Hong earlier, as if with this sheer aura alone, Huang Xiaolong could tear the heavens apart, shift the sun and the moon. With such sharp energy, seemingly unstoppable, even the heavens and earth could not contain it; everyone had to bow down before it, no one possessed such a piercing presence. Not even Nangong Hong!
Under this overwhelming aura, the speed of the 720 swords unleashed by Nangong Hong began to show slight stagnation, slowing down!
The main battlefield seemed unable to withstand the auras of Huang Xiaolong and Nangong Hong, faintly giving off a sense of collapsing!
In the blink of an eye, hundreds of streams of Sword Qi also erupted from the acupoints all over Huang Xiaolong’s body!
Each stream of Sword Qi represented a different swordsmanship, a different sword technique.
Huang Xiaolong’s Sword Qi surged like a raging storm, his sword moves overwhelming, reversing yin and yang, stirring chaos. They were in no way inferior to Nangong Hong’s swords!
What erupted from Huang Xiaolong was also All Swords to Sect! An unquestionable All Swords to Sect!
Swoosh~~~ Swoosh~~ Swoosh~~ Swoosh~~
The dense sword lights collided in the air! They exploded into dazzling, incredible radiance that was too blinding to stare at!
Instantly, incredulous screams could be heard–
“All Swords to Sect! That young man is also using All Swords to Sect!”
“What’s going on! Shushan Sword Sect’s spells and techniques are secret and never leaked, how can that young man also use them!”
“Monster! Truly a monster! Look, the All Swords to Sect he displayed has a perfect mastery, as if he has been practicing it for many years!”
…
The bystanders were shocked, and the people from the Shushan Sword Sect were even more dumbfounded!
Indeed, what Huang Xiaolong was using at that moment was the genuine All Swords to Sect!
“You!!!!” Nangong Hong was finally shaken!
A hint of panic finally appeared in his eyes!
How was it possible! How could this being, whom he regarded as insignificant as an ant, also be able to use the exclusive technique of the Shushan Sword Sect? Why? Moreover, his proficiency and understanding of the technique were in no way inferior to his own!
Almost on par!
“Impossible!” Nangong Hong screamed, then scoffed coldly. “Fine, you have many secrets, but regardless, how is the All Swords to Sect you used any different from mine? What makes you say that my practice is far from perfect, that there are many flaws…”
“Heh, my All Swords to Sect is naturally different from yours,” Huang Xiaolong jeered.
In the twinkling of an eye, the 720 swords unleashed by Huang Xiaolong effectively offset the 720 swords unleashed by Nangong Hong.
But!!!
There was one more sword!
A stream of sword light had already torn through space, like an angry dragon, slashing towards Nangong Hong’s head!
“Impossible!!!!” Nangong Hong seemed to see the most bizarre thing in the world!
In other words, Huang Xiaolong had actually unleashed 721 swords in a single move!!!!
One more sword than the limit of All Swords to Sect, a single move of 720 swords!
Breaking the limit!

But Nangong Hong couldn’t comprehend, a human body, which clearly has only 720 acupoints, each of which can only contain one sword at most, how did Huang Xiaolong conjure up this extra sword?
Could it be that he has 721 acupoints?
Impossible! In this world, not even a freak of nature could have an extra acupoint!
As Nangong Hong’s thoughts raced, he felt a sharp pain in his brow. That exceptionally magnificent sword was about to pierce his face!!!!
