Soul Emperor Martial God

The trials within the Light Ball are of many kinds.

With Sword Qi crossing, profound mysteries to ponder, or combat against puppets...

The varieties are numerous, and the difficulties vary greatly.

At the same time, there are specific restrictions.

For the "Sword Qi Cross" trial, the restriction is that no Martial Techniques may be used.

In the sky, those thousands of sword qi could only be broken one by one.

With a clang.

The first to strike, several sword qi collided with the Unrivaled Sword.

On the Unrivaled Sword, a clear sword chant followed.

The sword body trembled incessantly.

It even appeared distorted.

Obviously, several Mystic Breakthrough Eighth Layer powers of sword qi were too much for it to handle.

After all, the Unrivaled Sword was just a Low-Grade Spiritual Artifact with limited power and hardness.

Helplessly, Xiao Yi could only flash away quickly, retreating swiftly.

Because behind those several sword qi, thousands more were pursuing him.

At the same time, he withdrew the Unrivaled Sword from his hand and took out the Blood Slaughter Sword.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh.

Xiao Yi's sword light danced.

The eerie blood light on the Blood Slaughter Sword traced streams of light through the air.

Where the streams passed, the sword qi broke.

By this moment, the Blood Slaughter Sword had already recovered to a Top-grade Spiritual Artifact.

Holding it, Xiao Yi, with his Mystic Breakthrough Ninth Layer Cultivation, was more than capable of battling Martial Artists above the Earth Origin Realm Second Layer.

And even had the upper hand.

In terms of power, the Blood Slaughter Sword was definitely one of the strongest among the Top-grade Spiritual Artifacts.

If you add the Ice Mountain Fire Sea inside his body,

Xiao Yi's combat power could match that of an Earth Element Fourth Layer.

Of course, this was referring to his real Martial Arts Cultivation.

"Huh?" Suddenly, Xiao Yi's face showed a hint of surprise.

The several sword qi just shattered by the Blood Slaughter Sword.

After dissipating in front of him, they turned into specks of miasmic light.

The miasmic light transformed into pure power and entered Xiao Yi's body.

"So that's it, this is the reward," Xiao Yi suddenly realized.

Each light ball's prohibitions are different, and the rewards are also different.

The reward for Sword Qi Cross is this pure power.

Each sword qi contains power more overwhelming than that inside the Sword Sect Ice Pool.

Absorbing one is equivalent to soaking in the Cold Ice Pool for several seconds.

Absorbing thousands would roughly equal soaking in the Cold Ice Pool for several hours.

Moreover, because this energy is purer,

the effects should be even greater than imagined.

Knowing the benefits, Xiao Yi swiftly broke the sword qi.

Minutes later,

Xiao Yi once again flashed a hint of surprise in his mind.

"Hmm? The trajectory of these sword qi is extremely regular."

Xiao Yi muttered to himself as he swung his sword.

A realization appeared to dawn upon him.

Suddenly, he sheathed the Blood Slaughter Sword and kept shifting his steps.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh...

With each shift, a sword qi streaked past beside him.

Minutes later,

Xiao Yi's steps had shifted thousands of times,

and the numbers of sword qi that had streaked past him were countless.

Yet, not once did any sword qi touch him.

"So it seems, the sword qi are controlled by a prohibition and move along a trajectory."

"This prohibition tests the trialist's stepping techniques."

"Avoidance, reaction time, and agility are all essential."

Xiao Yi laughed, comparing it to those pure powers,

this training that tempered body speed and sensory acuteness was undoubtedly even more valuable.

Minutes later, Xiao Yi had completely destroyed all the sword qi.

He had intended to train a bit more,

but then thought about the light ball he had touched earlier,

It was merely a medium-difficulty one in the first layer.

If it had been the most difficult "Sword Qi Cross," the intensity of the training would have been better.

Once the thousands of sword qi were destroyed, thousands of pure powers surged into his body.

However, 99% of the power was absorbed by the Ice Phoenix Sword.

Only a tiny bit was absorbed by the Golden Core Embryo.

Moreover, his sensory acuteness had also improved considerably.

At this moment, the whole space was empty.

Suddenly, a wooden platform appeared out of thin air at the forefront.

On the platform, there was a Token.

Xiao Yi stepped forward to take it, finding 100 sword points on the token.

Xiao Yi absorbed it into his Sword Master Token.

The next second, his figure vanished in a flash.

He had returned to the place in the Sword Pavilion's first layer.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh.

At the same time, several figures returned from their trials.

However, some appeared excited, while others were in a state of disarray, their faces filled with frustration.

Beside them, Zhong Wuyou held a fruit in his hand.

Xiao Yi recognized it at a glance—it was the Hundred Profound Treasure Fruit.

One of the Fifth-grade Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

Consumed by Martial Artists in the Mystic Breakthrough Realm, it can directly elevate one's Cultivation by one layer.

The limit is two.

"Just one more, and I will reach the Mystic Breakthrough Ninth Layer Cultivation," Zhong Wuyou said, his face full of anticipation.

Then, looking at Xiao Yi, "Northern Mountain Sword Master, I will soon catch up with you, even surpass you."

"There is only one person who can stand shoulder to shoulder with Purple Flame, and that's not you."

Xiao Yi smiled and remained silent.

Of course, not everyone was as lucky as Zhong Wuyou.

The rewards within the Prohibition were random.

However, the higher the difficulty of the trial, the better the treasure.

Several people nearby obtained only a few Elixir Elixirs.

Xiao Yi didn't waste time, and soon found another Light Ball.

This Light Ball's difficulty was among the toughest ones on the first layer.

With a whoosh, a flash of white light.

Xiao Yi disappeared on the spot.

When he reappeared, he was in another Mysterious Space.

In it, everything was enveloped in a vast expanse of white.

There was no Sword Qi.

But there was a nothingness of Light and Shadow, drifting within.

This was a Puppet within the Prohibition, quite powerful.

Its strength reached the Earth Element First Layer.

But, inside it was branded with all the combat experiences of a Sword Sect Elder.

To become an elder in the Sky-splitting Sword Sect, one must at least be at the Heavenly Origin Realm Cultivation.

Moreover, each Sword Sect Elder is proficient in Sword Dao.

Their combat power is far beyond the Heavenly Origin Realm Martial Artists of other forces.

That is to say, this puppet.

Is equivalent to a Sword Sect Elder who has suppressed his own Cultivation to the Earth Element First Layer.

Its real strength should be above the Earth Element Third Layer.

Whoosh…

The Light and Shadow Puppet moved instantly, striking towards Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi did not dare to be careless.

He drew the Blood Slaughter Sword and engaged it in battle.

Sword Sect dominates, honing trialists' bodily speed and agility.

Battling with a puppet grinds, the trialist's practical combat ability.

Clang… Clang… Clang…

The Light and Shadow Puppet also had a sword.

Not a Spiritual Artifact, but one made of energy, as strong as the puppet itself.

Xiao Yi's Blood Slaughter Sword clashed with it, continuously producing ringing sword tones.

Whoosh, another sword strike came.

It was tricky and strange, nearly sealing off all of Xiao Yi's retreats.

Xiao Yi frowned, "Sword Sect Elder's Swordsmanship, as expected, formidable."

Of course, Xiao Yi's Swordsmanship was no ordinary either.

"Overbearing Sword." Xiao Yi's sword style suddenly changed.

From the previous elegance to dominance.

No matter how tricky and strange your swordsmanship is, I will break it with one sword.

The Light and Shadow Puppet's sword that sealed all escape routes.

Was broken by Xiao Yi in an instant.

"Ha." Xiao Yi roared loudly and thrust out a sword reverse-handed.

Clang.

Blood Slaughter Sword stabbed onto the Light and Shadow Puppet, sending sparks flying.

The Light and Shadow Puppet did not dodge or evade, and countered with a sword of its own.

Xiao Yi frowned, his footwork mysterious, barely dodging it.

This kind of puppet, since it has no spiritual intelligence, is fearless and dauntless.

Coupled with its robust body, it doesn't fear attacks.

The only way to defeat them.

Is for the trialist to repeatedly best them in sword exchanges,

Gradually wear down their strong bodies until they are utterly destroyed.

Or the trialist's strength far surpasses the puppet.

Destroying it directly with the ferocity of thunder.

Xiao Yi naturally had the strength to do so.

But, such an opportunity was rare.

To fight against a fearless puppet, honing Sword Dao.

Xiao Yi would not simply waste it.

It must be an invigorating combat experience.

And, just an interchange of Sword Dao with Sword Dao.
