Sole Sword Supremacy

Chapter 623 627: One Sword Breaks the Thunder Tribulation, Perfect Transformation

"No, why does he have a familiar scent on him... this is impossible! But this scent... I've definitely encountered it somewhere!"Fixating her gaze on Wang Junze, countless thoughts flashed through the mind of the woman in purple, but she still couldn't determine a definite answer.

To her, Wang Junze had no secrets; he was merely an ordinary member of the Human Race, only around twenty years old, which was far too brief in her long life to have any significant intersection.

The only explanation was that Wang Junze carried the inheritance of someone she once knew.

Yet... if that were true, she would have sensed it before now!

Under the Nine-Nine Thunder Tribulation, Wang Junze had already reached his limits, making it impossible to hide anything.

Moreover, that trace of scent was not just familiar but carried with it an inexplicable fear, which seemed even more absurd.

Given her status and strength, let alone now, even in ancient times, how many people could instill such fear in her?!

Time flowed silently, and soon, the sound of thunder echoed through the void once more as the ninth Thunder Tribulation finally descended.

The so-called Nine-Nine Thunder Tribulation was most terrifying for this final strike. It was no exaggeration to say that the power of this Thunder Tribulation was far more terrifying than the combined force of the previous eight.

Purple lightning illuminated the heavens and earth, and even before it descended, the surrounding void was already distorted.

Not to mention those Entering the Path, even most Saint Realm powerhouses faced certain death when confronted with this terrifying final Thunder Tribulation.

Yet, just as this bolt of lightning was about to strike, Wang Junze seemed to receive a divine intuition, suddenly opening his eyes.

Without any hesitation, Wang Junze lightly stepped forward, his entire being suddenly leaping up, bravely facing and slashing towards the descending Thunder Tribulation!

The Sword Domain opened once more in an instant, but unlike before, this time, as soon as it expanded, it shattered rapidly, transforming into a vast and magnificent Sword Qi, erupting alongside Wang Junze's slash.

All the Sword Intent Wang Junze was familiar with seemed to vanish at this moment, replaced by a black and white Sword Qi that appeared capable of cleaving the very heavens and earth.

Chess Swordsmanship!

The Five Sword Techniques merged into one at this moment, harnessing the power of the Sword Domain and erupting in an instant.

Rumble!

The terrifying thunder crashed down, clashing fiercely with this sword the moment it reached midair.

Wang Junze seemed to fall into a mystical state, not even consciously invoking the strike but instead performing it entirely based on the memory of Ye Piaoling's demonstration.

Moreover, this sword seemed to truly carry a bit of the grandeur of Ye Piaoling's original strike back then.

"Chess Swordsmanship... Ye Piaoling!!!"

On the throne, the woman in purple's pupils contracted sharply; when Wang Junze executed this sword, she finally matched that familiar scent with the image of the person in her memory.

This strike was undoubtedly the strongest sword Wang Junze had ever wielded, even exceeding the limits of the power he could typically unleash.

All of his Essence, Qi, and Spirit were infused into this sword, and Wang Junze himself completely forgot the fear of life and death.

With the sword, he engaged in a chess match against the Thunder Tribulation, putting forth all his efforts without regard for life or death.

The purple lightning flooded the universe, engulfing Wang Junze entirely, but this sword was like an undying flame, standing unyielding amidst the tempestuous waves.

His flesh and Divine Soul began to crumble under the thunderous assault, but that trace of Sword Intent remained undiminished, piercing into the Thunder Tribulation, like a blossom blooming within the thunder—unfading despite the relentless strikes!

Rumble!

The last bit of thunder dissipated, simultaneously unleashing a powerful vitality that surged into Wang Junze's body and Divine Soul, aiding him in reconstructing his flesh and Divine Soul!

From life to death, then from death to rebirth!

Amidst the thunder, Wang Junze seemed to have truly undergone a cycle of life and death, achieving rebirth within the Thunder Tribulation.

Breaking down before standing tall again, transforming anew amid destruction.

The intricacies of it were not entirely clear to Wang Junze himself, but the woman in purple observed everything with clarity.

In ancient times, there were indeed prodigious talents who completed the Nine-Nine Tribulations' trials, but Wang Junze was undoubtedly the one with the lowest Cultivation, having experienced the most flawless transformation in the Path Tribulation.

Nearly a full quarter-hour passed before Wang Junze's figure once again emerged, landing upon the White Jade Platform.

If observed closely, one would find that Wang Junze was now enveloped by a trace of purple lightning on his body and Divine Soul, with all his injuries completely healed, his entire being brimming with strength and vitality.

"Where did you obtain the Chess Swordsmanship inheritance? Have you met Ye Piaoling?!"

With a slight sway, the woman in purple instantly appeared on the White Jade Platform, intently staring into Wang Junze's eyes as she questioned.

Upon hearing her voice, Wang Junze seemed finally to come back to his senses, and his gaze towards the woman in purple was filled with complexity.

From the result, having passed through the Nine-Nine Thunder Tribulation, Wang Junze had undergone a complete transformation, with significant enhancements in Realm, physical body, Divine Soul, and even in Sword Dao, marking a unique and rare opportunity.

However, the difficulty and danger within were something only he truly understood, and saying it was a near-death experience would not be an overstatement.

Wang Junze did not respond immediately. After collecting his thoughts, he instead perceived an unusual hint from her words.

"Does Senior know my master?"

Previously, Qu Lishang mentioned that within these Ancient Secret Realms, there were certain Divine Domain powerhouses. However, these so-called Divine Domain powerhouses actually broke through by relying on the ancient Supreme Treasure, the Great Nether Mirror, facing significant restrictions, meaning they genuinely didn't qualify as true Divine Domain powerhouses.

Originally, Wang Junze also believed that this woman in purple was such an existence.

Yet, whether it was her previously displayed control over the Thunder Tribulation or this recent questioning, they both revealed an unbelievable message.

The opponent might very well be an ancient powerhouse who has survived from ancient times to the present!

"Master?! You're a disciple of Ye Piaoling?"

Incredibly looking at Wang Junze, the woman in purple couldn't help but exclaim.

This time, Wang Junze dared not delay any longer. He quickly explained how he accidentally entered the Ancient Ruins of the Yijian Sect and, through the trials left by Ye Piaoling, obtained the inheritance.

"Impossible, how could Ye Piaoling die? Who in this world could possibly kill Ye Piaoling?!"

Eyes showing a glimpse of madness, the woman in purple hysterically shouted in anger.
