Sword God in a World of Magic

Even though the fish bird had created its True Path, Shang still didn't have more issues than before.

The fish bird was a Late Beast Lord. A couple of techniques from the Fourth Realm didn't make any difference.

The two of them continued fighting for about five years.

It seemed like creating an Impose wasn't very easy for the fish bird, and it would probably need another couple of decades to create one.

So, while the fish bird stopped improving in the fight, Shang continued to become stronger.

In comparison to the fish bird, Shang was already working towards comprehending something that would allow a normal warrior to reach the Seventh Realm.

After another five years, Shang wasn't on the edge all the time. The fish bird was still insanely fast, but his usage of his sword had improved tremendously.

Shang still didn't know what beyond the Sword Heart was, but he knew that he was making progress. Otherwise, he wouldn't be growing more powerful right now.

Ten years after Shang had started to fight the fish bird, his body suddenly transformed into a weakened husk.

Shang became slower and weaker, but thanks to his improvements, he could still resist the fish bird.

A couple of seconds later, Shang's body recovered, and he struck the fish bird's beak.

Nothing seemed to change.

Shang's body became weak again and struck the beak once more.

CRACK!

Suddenly, the fish bird's beak completely broke apart, and Shang stabbed his sword toward the fish bird's head.

Shang's sword only buried itself up to the fish bird's skull before it stopped.

However, if he wanted to, Shang could have killed it.
