Lin Chen, a self-funded student at Linjiang Martial Arts School, has ranked at the bottom of the blood-and-qi evaluations for years. His family has cut off his resources, his father disappeared in the Broken Sword Secret Realm, and his mother is bedridden. Everyone sees him as a good-for-nothing martial arts student, until one rainy night, the broken sword his father left behind begins to hum incessantly. A sword mark pierces his brow, awakening the Swordheart Visualization.
From then on, sword techniques from across the world, enemies' weaknesses, and the will of fallen swords can all be turned into sword marks. He can see the gaps in an opponent's techniques at a glance and defeat them with a sword strike from the most unexpected angle. After killing powerful enemies or comprehending sword intent, sword marks etch themselves onto his body, steadily raising his speed and refining his sword intent. Deeper within lies a consciousness-space called the Sword Mound, where the lifelong insights of ancient sword cultivators are buried.
While others cultivate martial realms, he cultivates the laws of the Sword Dao.
When his peers humiliate him, he sends them flying with a single sword strike. When noble geniuses try to lord it over him, he defeats them across realms with a single strike. When a horde of vicious beasts attacks a city, he climbs the ramparts and takes their leader's head with one stroke. When the Myriad Races Cult infiltrates, his sword qi strikes first. From the Linjiang Base City to the National Prodigy Rankings, then to the global high-martial battlefield, and on to the grand chess game of the myriad races in the stars, Lin Chen's sword is always one step faster than his enemies and a realm above them.
Behind his father's disappearance lies the secret of the Sword Sealer. The broken sword is no weapon: it is a seal. When his sword domain unfolds and his sword world takes shape, Lin Chen finally stands above the myriad races, ascends to godhood through the Sword Dao, and establishes the rules of heaven and earth anew.
One sword reaches godhood, and ten thousand swords bow in homage.
It's a good read. I'm here to catch up on the new book. I like this kind of starry sky and martial arts. It's fast-paced and no nonsense. I follow the protagonist and slowly becomes stronger. The author updates it very quickly 🤤
