Roar!
A sky-shattering roar echoed again, and the third round of trials officially began!
This time, over one hundred thousand demonic beasts and demons surged from the darkness, all of them existing at the ninth level of the Mortal Transcending Realm or higher.
There were even some at the Nirvana Realm.
At this, all the martial artists present grew solemn.
Not only was the number overwhelming, but their strength was also immense!
A great battle was imminent!
Everyone faced enemies several times their own number.
And each of these enemies possessed strength no weaker than their own!
Soon!
Some began to falter.
Either they were caught off guard by the beasts' sharp claws, or they were infiltrated by the demons.
As time passed, more and more martial artists were eliminated.
Only the prodigies from the major forces remained, systematically hunting the demonic beasts and demons.
Xu Chuan was also fighting among them with his God-Slaying Saber.
For points, he had to kill enough demons and beasts.
Because he had seen the complete inheritance of the Hao Ri Divine Fist in the exchange list!
However, to redeem this Emperor Scripture, a vast amount of points was required!
A full fifty thousand!
Even Xu Chuan felt considerable pressure.
But to obtain a complete inheritance here, something even holy lands did not possess, he could not give up!
As long as he could obtain the complete inheritance of the Hao Ri Divine Fist, coupled with the God Slaying Saber Technique he had just learned, Xu Chuan could barely imagine how strong he would become!
Xu Chuan took a deep breath. For the Hao Ri Divine Fist inheritance, he decided to go all out!
He gripped the God-Slaying Saber tightly, and the Saber Soul of Life Slaying began to tremble.
He was about to unleash his current strongest move, a technique from the God Slaying Saber Technique!
"Purgatory on Earth!"
Xu Chuan's brows twitched. At his current cultivation, using this move put him under great strain!
But for points, he had to do it.
"Kill!"
Driven by the Saber Soul of Life Slaying, a scene of mountains of corpses and seas of blood enveloped the entire battlefield.
Countless severed limbs and endless killing intent and malevolent aura made the prodigies present tremble with fear.
"What technique is this!"
At this moment, all the prodigies collectively gasped!
Enveloped by this scene of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, even they felt threatened!
They were even so suppressed by this killing aura that they lost the courage to even raise their weapons.
What powerful martial skill could create such a spectacle?
This was also the first time the prodigies present witnessed Xu Chuan’s full power.
It was truly terrifying!
The demonic beasts and demons enveloped by the mountains of corpses and seas of blood also gave up their resistance at this moment, kneeling on the ground.
Seeing this, all the prodigies found it incredible.
But what happened next made them all tremble.
Within this sea of corpses and blood, a colossal saber appeared, spanning the entire sky.
Infinite killing intent and malevolent aura condensed on the blade, and even the trial space was torn by terrifying saber energy, as if on the verge of collapse.
"So strong!"
"Where did this monster come from!"
Everyone was shocked.
Even Yang Sheng watched the great saber in the sky with disbelief.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible, what technique is this!"
Yang Sheng muttered incessantly.
The strength Xu Chuan had displayed before had already exceeded his expectations.
But now, the power of this move shattered his lifelong pride.
And Xu Chuan's subsequent action directly shattered his martial heart!
"Die!"
Xu Chuan roared the word "die."
Then, as if his words were law, the great saber in the sky began to move.
The great saber split into countless smaller sabers, and then all the smaller sabers combined into one.
Then, it descended.
Boom!
After a deafening sound.
Even the beam of light was shattered by this saber, and the trial space plunged into brief darkness.
When the beam of light reformed, the prodigies present saw the scene before them.
The entire trial space seemed to have been plowed, with overturned earth everywhere.
And in the direction where the great saber had descended, a crack tens of thousands of miles long and unfathomably deep appeared before everyone's eyes.
The demons and beasts that had been surging moments ago were mercilessly slain by this strike!
Only a few scattered survivors, lucky enough to survive.
"What kind of power is this?"
A prodigy stared blankly at the mark left by that saber and asked with a tremor.
No one answered him, for everyone present was staring blankly at the great rift before them.
Even the top prodigies found it hard to believe.
In contrast, Xu Chuan, who had slain tens of thousands of demons and beasts in a single blow, was panting heavily.
His aura had dropped to its lowest point.
"Senior Brother Xu..."
Su Miaoyin ran over, trying to support the exhausted Xu Chuan.
"I'm fine!"
Xu Chuan pushed away Su Miaoyin's hand, leaned on his saber, and shakily stood up.
He had still underestimated the power of this saber, and its consumption.
In just a few breaths, it had drained all the vital energy in his body!
He knew that although he was only at the first level of the Nirvana Realm now, due to the Sun Holy Body and the special nature of the Xuan Yang Art, his vital energy was comparable to the ninth level of the Nirvana Realm!
But even so, he was completely drained in an instant!
If not for the Xuan Yang Art continuously absorbing and refining the surrounding heaven and earth spiritual energy, he would have become a dried husk, even if he hadn't died!
Huff!
Xu Chuan let out a long sigh. Although the consumption this time was immense, the reward was astonishing.
This single blow had annihilated at least sixty thousand demonic beasts and demons!
In an instant, his points reached over sixty-nine thousand!
At this moment, he also showed a hint of a smile.
The Hao Ri Divine Fist inheritance was secured!
Putting away his various techniques, Xu Chuan, unstable, directly fell into Su Miaoyin's embrace.
"Ah, Senior Brother Xu, are you alright?"
Su Miaoyin cried out in alarm, quickly embracing Xu Chuan and asking with concern.
"It's nothing, just too much consumption, I'll rest for a bit."
Xu Chuan smiled and shook his head, responding.
Then, he took out recovery pills from his storage ring and swallowed several at once, combined with the circulation of the Xuan Yang Art, he rapidly recovered his strength.
"Congratulations, you have completed the third round of trials. Those who remain are all prodigies!"
"Later, you will undergo the final trial!"
"See the Hall Master's inheritance at the top of the exchange list? After this final round of trials, the top three in points will have the opportunity to accept the Hall Master's inheritance!"
"And the content of this final round of trials will be for you to fight each other, snatching each other's points, with no restrictions!"
"During this process, death is true death, and there will be no more last-moment teleports!"
"Now, the final trial officially begins!"
As that indifferent voice sounded, it dropped a bombshell, causing every prodigy present to have their eyes light up.
The Hall Master's inheritance, everyone knew how powerful it was!
They had thought it was merely for show, never expecting to truly have the chance to accept it one day!
At this moment, all the prodigies were like starving wolves, ready to devour!
There were only three spots for the Hall Master's inheritance, for the three with the most points!
The one or two hundred prodigies remaining here all began to scheme.
An unprecedented battle was about to unfold here!
