Song Ming's body hair stood on end, and his pupils contracted to pinpoints!
He whipped around, his sharp, knife-like gaze fixing on Jiang Tian not far away!
But what met his eyes made his heart sink.
Jiang Tian was still standing where he had been, tall and straight as a pine, his hands empty. He wasn't forming hand seals or casting a spell, and no longsword had left its sheath. There wasn't even the slightest sign of ordinary Sword Qi stirring!
It was as if that fatal sword ring just now had been nothing but his imagination.
And in Jiang Tian's eyes,
Song Ming's entire silhouette was already enveloped in an exceedingly faint yet unmistakable purple-gold glow, as if marked and locked onto by some invisible force.
Above his head was a purple mark, much like a shooting reticle from his previous life.
A divine ability.
[Formless Sword]!
What Jiang Tian had unleashed was the [Life-Bound Divine Ability] [Formless Sword], which he had exchanged for from the stone stele on the fifth level of the secret realm!
This divine ability shouldn't have appeared on the exchange stele at all. It was an opportunity Ji Yuan had deliberately "slipped" in for him at the time. According to Ji Yuan, this [Formless Sword] was worlds apart from the [Life-Bound Divine Abilities] bestowed by the Heavenly Dao.
The latter were shackles, while the former had been created by Ji Yuan himself, who had plucked fragments of the laws of heaven and earth and fused them with a certain peerless sword art!
The [Formless Sword]'s power seemed simple, yet it was domineering beyond compare. Its core mechanism was surprisingly similar in some ways to Jiang Tian's heaven-defying golden trait, [All-Slashing], though its amplification effect was slightly weaker.
It could place an invisible "Sword Mark"
