Chapter 43 Turmoil in Beijing
The Forms of the Thirteen Lightning Sword Strikes are divided into nine initial forms and four later forms.
Rather than being interconnected, each form can be independently integrated into other martial arts techniques. The initial nine forms, in particular, are sword arts that contain several fundamental techniques, allowing them to exert a certain efficacy even if only their basic movements are replicated.
However, the four later forms are different.
These are what are commonly referred to as the ultimate techniques of a martial art.
The four later forms of the Thirteen Lightning Sword Strikes absolutely require Force Aura.
Force Aura Technique, which is difficult to even begin cultivating before reaching Peak Transcendence. That is the true nature of the four later forms of the Thirteen Lightning Sword Strikes.
And now, the tenth thunderbolt and first ultimate technique of the Thirteen Lightning Sword Strikes that Namgung-woo unleashed, the Flash of Extreme Light, literally bleached the world with its intense lightning.
A brilliant platinum Sword Aura exploded with immense Internal Force, bringing daylight back to the summit of Longevity Hill, which had been shrouded in the darkness of night. It was as if hundreds of lightning bolts had struck simultaneously.
The sheer luminosity was enough to blind anyone who witnessed it directly with their naked eyes, unprotected by an Eye Technique.
It was a terrifyingly magnificent spectacle, far too grand to have been created by a mere human.
