After another fierce battle, Li Chen unleashed another move mastered by Sword Slave Yu Ling's remnant soul, the "Heavenly King Cloud-Breaking Strike," which also originated from the Sword Cultivators of the Other Continent.
According to legend, this move had been created by a towering figure of the Sword Dao on the Earthly Immortal Continent, known as the Heaven-Defying Sword King. With a single strike, clouds and sky shattered; it was a terrifying killing move powerful enough to destroy heaven and earth.
This move could stir up a torrent of sword qi over a much wider area, sweeping through everything and crushing all in its path. A sword move of mass destruction capable of annihilating armies and slaying generals, it was more than ten times stronger than the earlier "Sky-Splitting."
