Chapter 2627
"That won’t work, kid."
His voice boomed.
"Who's there?"
While James was engaged in a fierce battle, a sound came all of a sudden and frightened him. After knocking back
a few Heavenly Path Embodiments, he turned around and searched for the source of the voice.
In the distance stood a middle-aged man standing in mid-air. He was wearing tattered black armor, and he seemed
to be in a wretched state.
Just as James was about to ask the man what his words meant, he was struck in the back by the enemy. He was
sent flying by the terrifying force and immediately suffered injuries. Careful not to lower his guard, he concentrated

At the same time, he asked, "Who are you? Why are you here?"
In the distance, the man smiled faintly and said, "There's no need for you to know who I am. You should consider
yourself fortunate to have encountered me. Otherwise, you'll never overcome this tribulation."
Hearing this, James said, "Please offer me your guidance, Sir."
"Though there's the Ancestral Sword Master's Sword Energy inside your body, you do not have the Sword Master's
swordsmanship," the man said.
He asked, "How much do you know about the Ancestral Sword Master's swordsmanship?"
In the midst of the battle, James replied, "I don't know much, I only learned the fundamentals and combined some
sword techniques together."
"That's good enough," the man said. "Now, allow me to briefly tell you more about the Ancestral Sword Master’s
swordsmanship.
"His swordsmanship is divided into five stages-Sword Moves, Sword Shadow, Sword Heart, Sword Intent, and
Singularity."
"The five stages can be cultivated both as a whole or individually. No sword techniques are independent of these
stages."
"The most fundamental of sword techniques are the moves, also known as Sword Moves. The Sword Shadow is the
second stage. What is a Sword Shadow, you might ask? The shadow refers to the exterior, the shadow of the
sword. The Sword Heart refers to the heart of the sword-wielder. The same sword techniques possess different
power depending on the heart of the wielder. Sword Intent refers to the intent of the sword and the heart.
Singularity refers to the fusion of all five stages and the completion of swordsmanship.
"The Ancestral Sword Master is unrivaled because he fused all the sword techniques of the world into one. Take the

technique in the world into one, allowing him to destroy everything in his path in one single move."
His voice echoed in James' mind.
Sophie has told him about this before. She said that the more sword techniques that were merged into one, the
greater their power.
He had merged many sword techniques. Some were sword techniques he learned in the past, while others were
ones he learned at the Ancient Clan of the Ancient Realm. By combining these sword techniques into one, the
power of his moves was terrifying. However, the Sword Move of the First Sword Realm was the only one he learned
among the Five Great Sword Realms of the Sword Master. He did not involve himself in the rest.
"Watch those Heavenly Path Embodiments closely. Their sword techniques are the best in the world. I'm not asking
you to gain insight into the Five Great Sword Realms, but at least comprehend one of them. Learn the sword
techniques of these Heavenly Path Embodiments and merge them into the First Sword Realm's Sword Move. If you
succeed in doing so, you can make your way out of the Tribulation World. Otherwise, you'll simply be annihilated
even with the Infinity Steles, the Five Elements of Genesis, and the Sword Energy of the Ancestral Sword Master."
The man offered his advice.
