Chapter 646 Sword Defeated at Eighth Level, High-Grade Demonic Weapon

"Is it true that that sir wants to take on a disciple?"

Someone immediately asked.

"It's just a rumor; no one can be sure if it's true or false."

Even so, the dozen or so mysterious figures here were still shocked and incredulous.

Because they knew that such rumors could not possibly spread if that person did not wish them to.

"But why, given that person's status, if he wanted to recruit disciples, countless Nascent Soul Realm cultivators would be begging to become his apprentice if he just let the word out? Why would he care about a mere Golden Core Realm cultivator?"

Some people were completely baffled.

"How could we possibly guess what that lord is thinking? He has his reasons for doing this. We just need to do our job well. Besides, this is just a rumor now. We don't know what the real reason is."

All the figures fell silent.

Looking at the trial participants in the light screen, he couldn't help but show an expression of great envy.

These little guys probably have no idea what kind of opportunity they are about to face.

If this news gets out, it will cause a sensation not only in the Tianyuan Great World, but also in the entire Dayuan Immortal Domain, and even in the other nearby Immortal Domains.

"This trial features many outstanding young talents in the Tianyuan Great World. Who do you think will ultimately win first place?"

After a moment of silence, another figure suddenly spoke.

"That's hard to say. Among the participants in this trial, there are quite a few young guys at the ninth level of the Golden Core stage, and some of them have even condensed flawless innate high-grade Golden Cores, Demon Cores, and Monster Cores."

At this level, their basic cultivation levels are vastly different, and the competition is nothing more than their respective cultivation techniques, Taoist arts, and magical treasures.

If we really calculate it that way, I'm more optimistic about Cang Jue.

His father was, after all, the Demon Lord of Annihilation, a powerful being who had reached the seventh level of the Primordial Spirit realm, possessing profound inner strength.

Cang Jue was his youngest son, whom he doted on the most, so he must have given him many trump cards to protect his life.

The figure wearing the ferocious beast mask analyzed it.

“I have a higher opinion of the Holy Maiden of Biluo Palace,” said the woman wearing a fox mask. “Don’t forget, her master has an ambiguous relationship with a certain high-ranking member of our Youming Palace.”

Her sudden appearance to participate in the trial this time must have been guided by her master, or even by one of our higher-ups.

If that's the case, then she must have made considerable preparations, and she's very likely to win first place.

“You all favor those with powerful backgrounds, but I’m different. I’m more optimistic about that boy from the Elephant Clan,” another figure said.

"The suppressive ability that this kid showed earlier clearly indicates that he has awakened the bloodline of the ancient divine elephant, and the concentration of the bloodline is not low."

If one were to go even further and awaken innate supernatural abilities, that would be even more extraordinary.

At that time, his power will likely be able to break through the limits of the Golden Core Realm and touch the Nascent Soul Realm.

"His brute force can overcome any skill; even if others possess powerful magical treasures, they might not be his match."

Listening to the three people's analysis, some of the other figures nodded in agreement, clearly feeling that what they said made sense.

Of course, they also know that these are just the things on the surface.

There might be other little guys hiding somewhere.

Therefore, it's impossible to say who will definitely win first place until the very last moment.

"And what about this little guy?"

At this moment, someone pointed at Lu Qing's figure on the light screen.

"The sword intent that this little guy displayed earlier seems to be quite extraordinary. The path of sword cultivators has always been known for its amazing combat power. Perhaps he has a chance too."

Everyone immediately looked at the man wearing the ghost mask, because they all knew that Lu Qing belonged to the group he had brought in.

The masked man pondered for a moment before saying, "According to Old Ghost Liu, this kid's sword intent has the essence of the Breaking Heaven Sword Sect, but it is not pure. It seems to be a self-taught, unorthodox approach. He may be a lucky one who obtained the Breaking Heaven Sword Sect's lost inheritance."

Breaking Heaven Sword Sect!

Upon hearing this name, the group of mysterious figures were all startled once again.

There was no way around it; that sect, known for being full of sword fanatics, was too famous and powerful, no less so than their Netherworld Palace.

"He must just be a lucky one who accidentally obtained the inheritance. Otherwise, if he were truly a disciple of the Breaking Heaven Sword Sect, how could he possibly participate in our Netherworld Palace's trials?"

"It's a pity. If you're just a self-taught practitioner, you probably still can't beat top-tier Golden Core cultivators like Cang Jue and the Holy Maiden of Biluo Palace who have deep backgrounds and powerful foundations."

"Not necessarily. Even if we can't take first place, we should still be able to make it into the top ten."

After learning about Lu Qing's situation, these mysterious figures all gave their own evaluations.

While it's unlikely that Lu Qing will take first place, making it into the top ten shouldn't be too difficult.

"Look, Cang Jue is about to run into the Holy Maiden of Biluo Palace and the Daoist disciple of Daoxu Temple!"

Suddenly, someone whispered a call.

The other voices perked up and all looked toward the light screen.

"And that kid who seems to possess the inheritance of the Heaven-Breaking Sword Sect is also about to run into another Golden Core Eighth Stage cultivator!"

Then someone else noticed that Lu Qing was about to meet another powerful cultivator.

Immediately, everyone stared intently at the light screen, eager to see what the outcome of this first collision would be.

Lu Qing was naturally unaware that his every move had already been seen through by others.

This trial space was crafted by a top expert from the Netherworld Palace.

With his current strength, he is not yet capable of detecting the methods set up by such a being.

Following the guidance in the trial jade talisman, he flew towards the small white dot closest to him.

There were thirty or forty white dots, and they were all moving at the same time. Clearly, a powerful person, like him, had collected all the trial jade talismans nearby.

As Lu Qing approached the white dot, he suddenly noticed that the white dot also accelerated rapidly, moving quickly toward him.

"You noticed me? That suits me just fine!"

Lu Qing's gaze was calm. Suddenly, he accelerated and flew forward at the same speed.

This scene, displayed in the illusory space of the trial jade talisman, showed two small white dots rapidly approaching each other, about to collide.

Lu Qing had already sensed the other party's aura.

"A human cultivator?"

Lu Qing sensed the Golden Core aura emanating from the other party and immediately made a judgment.

The other party was not a demon or monster as he had expected, but a human cultivator like himself.

The person opposite him was indeed a master. After Lu Qing sensed his aura, he quickly sensed Lu Qing as well.

He was a young man dressed in white, with long, snow-white hair, and a cold aura, giving him an otherworldly air.

Upon seeing Lu Qing, the young man in white didn't say much. He immediately began to form hand seals, and the next moment, a tremendous dragon roar resounded.

A shuttle-shaped magical artifact flew out, transforming into a giant ice dragon that lunged towards Lu Qing.

Wherever the ice dragon passed, countless icicles appeared out of thin air, seemingly freezing even the space itself; its power was immense.

"A low-grade spiritual weapon?"

Lu Qing instantly realized that the white-robed youth's cultivation was only at the peak of the eighth level of the Golden Core stage, still some distance from the ninth level. However, the spiritual artifact he summoned was extremely compatible with his own cultivation technique and physique, making the power he could unleash exceptionally strong.

Judging from the power of this ice dragon alone, it is already no less powerful than a full-force attack from a Golden Core cultivator at the ninth level of cultivation.

"Interesting. No wonder they dared to come forward and accept the challenge."

A hint of amusement appeared on Lu Qing's face.

He showed no surprise at the ice dragon attack unleashed by the white-robed youth, nor did he attempt to dodge it.

He simply extended his palm forward and gently swung it downward.

The next moment, a vast sword aura flew out, exuding an aura that could cleave the heavens and destroy the earth, and kill everything, heading towards the ice dragon.

In an instant, the roaring ice dragon froze, then exploded into a shower of ice shards.

The ice dragon's true form was cleaved away by a single sword strike, and the spirit within it let out a painful cry as it was tumbled backward at incredible speed.

"what?!"

The white-robed youth's eyes widened in shock when he saw that Lu Qing had shattered his ice dragon attack with just sword energy, without even using any magic weapons.

Before he could react, Lu Qing waved his hand again, and a sword aura grazed his body and struck a high mountain in the distance behind him.

Then, a calm voice rang out: "You are no match for me. Hand over all the trial jade tokens."

The young man in white stared stiffly at the towering mountain behind him, now cleaved in two, before slowly turning to look at Lu Qing with an indescribable awe on his face.

Just as the sword energy brushed past him, he felt an overwhelming aura of death enveloping his entire body.

It made his whole body stiff, so he couldn't even move, let alone dodge.

After a while, he felt that he had regained some control over his body.

The young man in white didn't say much, and very obediently took out all the trial jade talismans he had and threw them over.

"Fellow Daoist's cultivation is profound and swordsmanship is superb. I admire you."

Lu Qing only unleashed two sword strikes before the white-robed youth knew he was no match for her.

If that sword had landed on him, he would probably be dead by now.

Therefore, this trial jade talisman was given in a way that was truly convincing.

"Accepted."

Lu Qing took the trial jade talisman, checked it, and after seeing that there were no problems, nodded slightly and continued to transform into a stream of light, flying towards the next target.

The young man in white watched Lu Qing's departing figure, his feelings quite complicated.

He originally participated in this trial on a whim.

After all, given his status and position, the qualification of merely being an outer member of the Netherworld Palace held no appeal for him whatsoever.

He originally thought that with his strength, passing this trial would be a piece of cake.

This idea remained unshaken even when the man in the black bear mask who led them in announced that they would undergo trials alongside the demon and monster races.

And that was indeed the case; he easily snatched the trial jade tokens from the dozens of Golden Core cultivators who had come in with him.

However, to his surprise, there was someone like Lu Qing in this trial space.

Recalling the sword energy that Lu Qing had just unleashed, he still felt his heart tremble and his soul quiver.

After a while, the young man in white calmed down and summoned his magical artifact back.

Looking at the obvious sword mark above, he felt heartbroken, but also felt even greater awe for Lu Qing's strength.

How could a man wearing a ghost mask injure a magical weapon with just sword energy? What kind of monster is he?

"The battle ended so quickly?"

“I take back what I just said. This kid’s swordsmanship has reached the peak of the Golden Core stage. He is probably no less than Cang Jue and that kid from the Elephant Clan.”

"Is this what Old Ghost Liu meant by impure sword intent? It's not completely pure sword intent, yet it possesses such power?"

"Is this kid really a self-taught individual, or a direct disciple of the Breaking Heaven Sword Sect?"

In the mysterious space, the dozen or so figures were all taken aback when they saw Lu Qing defeat the white-robed youth with just two sword energies, causing him to surrender all his trial jade tokens.

These mysterious figures are no ordinary people; each one possesses not only powerful cultivation but also exceptionally sharp eyes.

It was obvious that the ice dragon unleashed by the white-robed youth had fully reached the level of the ninth stage of the Golden Core realm.

Even so, it still couldn't stop Lu Qing from casually unleashing a sword aura.

The moment Lu Qing unleashed his sword energy, even through the light barrier, they could still feel the sword intent that could cleave the heavens and destroy the earth, annihilating everything.

Even subtly, they felt a sense of dread.

How could these mysterious figures not be surprised?

"It seems we were all wrong. This kid is also a strong contender for first place!" someone exclaimed.

The other mysterious figures did not offer any rebuttal.

The sword energy that Lu Qing just unleashed was truly frightening.

Some of them were even reminiscing about whether they could have reached this level of strength when they were in the Golden Core Realm.

But just then, someone suddenly said, "Huh, the Daoist disciple of Daoxu Temple and the Holy Maiden of Biluo Palace are actually going to lose?"

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately looked at the light screen again.

Then the screen above showed that the Daoist disciple of the Void Temple and the Holy Maiden of the Azure Palace were being defeated by Cang Jue single-handedly.

In the end, they had no choice but to join forces and kill more than ten demons who were watching from the sidelines before breaking through and escaping.

The group of mysterious figures were startled once again.

"What happened? How come these two are about to be defeated in the blink of an eye?"

"Is Cang Jue really that powerful?"

What just happened?

To everyone's surprise, in the blink of an eye, the Holy Maiden of Biluo Palace and the Daoist Master of Daoxu Temple, whom they had initially favored, were no match for Cang Jue, the Demon, and were now forced to join forces to escape.

"It's a demonic artifact!" a figure said in a deep voice. "That Cang Jue possesses an extremely powerful demonic artifact, and its grade is very high, at least mid-grade or above, and it's even very likely that it's a high-grade demonic artifact!"

Top grade magic weapon!

Upon hearing this, everyone present was shocked once again.

Because even among them, no one possessed a magic weapon of this caliber.

"It seems that the Demon Lord of Annihilation truly dotes on his youngest son, even willing to give him such a magical treasure. Doesn't he fear that other powerful figures might try to kill him and seize the treasure?"

"I heard that the Demon Lord of Annihilation issued a decree forbidding his youngest son from leaving his territory, perhaps because of this demonic artifact."

"If it really is a high-grade demonic artifact, then Daoist Daoist Guanzi and the Holy Maiden of Biluo Palace are probably in danger."

The group of mysterious figures saw Cang Jue on the light screen transform into a streak of black light and chase after the direction in which Daozi of Daoxu Temple and the Holy Maiden of Biluo Palace had fled.

He immediately realized that the two people were in danger.
