Chapter 382 The End of the Earth Ranking
Generally speaking, the ninth to twelfth levels of the inheritance trial test only two things: one is the soul, and the other is combat power.

Chen Mu is confident about both of these things, and he believes that there should be no problem in breaking through this time.

As for the trials after the twelfth level, Xu Jingyang also gave him a brief introduction, but it was not very detailed, probably because Xu Jingyang himself had not experienced it.

"After this, we've more or less caught up with the mainstream..."

After thinking secretly for a moment, Chen Mu drank the spiritual tea in the cup.

……

The sky was gloomy, dark clouds gathered, and there was a light breeze and drizzle intermittently, but it could not cover up the passionate feelings of everyone here.

"Brother Liu, do you want to make a bet with me? I'll bet on when Young Master Lian will return to the top of the list..."

"I, Zong Daozi, will definitely be able to advance to the top 30 on the Earth Ranking this time!"

"Liu Lang, you must be careful on this trip. If you can fight for a place on the Earth Ranking, then do so. Don't force it..."

Nearly ten thousand monks gathered here, and for a moment the place was bustling with noise, reminiscent of the scene before.

At the front of the queue, Xuantian Mansion, Fushan Changhe, and Feixing Taoist Palace were located in three places, some were talking, some were laughing, and some had serious expressions, constantly attracting the attention of the people behind them.

As for the current leader of the Earth Ranking, Yu Wenshan from Ximo, he could only lag behind the three sects by one position because he was not a cultivator from Beiyuan.

However, judging from his calm expression, it was obvious that he was not happy or sad about this matter.

Chen Mu closed his eyes to rest, but in his mind he was thinking about the next steps to take.

Since I have come here, I naturally have the desire to compete.

After all, who doesn’t want to be famous throughout the world, stand out among the numerous geniuses, and win the inheritance!
Even if we put aside the fame, the inheritance of the Soul Ancestor's lineage is equally tempting. Becoming the inheritor of the Soul Ancestor's lineage, I can't say that you can ascend to become an immortal, but at least you can achieve the Nascent Soul stage!

A Nascent Soul cultivator is already a major sect's foundation...

Just for this purpose, Chen Mu will go all out!

Half an hour later, fog quietly filled the valley, and the spiritual consciousness of the cultivators was restricted again.

Lian Fangyuan also stood up and shouted, leading the disciples of Xuantian Mansion to rush forward.

Suddenly, countless monks rushed in like carp crossing a river...

After the familiar dizzying spin, Chen Mu returned to the eighth level.

He calmed his mind and waved his hand to summon the Soul Banner.

Chen Mu raised it high and looked at it for a moment, his eyes flashing slightly.

It's strange to say, this soul flag is obviously a real magic weapon, but for some reason it cannot be brought out of this trial place.

"It seems that if I want to truly possess this Dao Soul Banner, I need to seize this inheritance."

Chen Mu pondered for a moment and guessed.

The ghost grows rapidly and can break through to the third level. If he can be brought out of here, his strength will be greatly improved!
"Do your best!"

Thinking of this, his eyes determined, and he immediately drove the soul flag to drop black mist, enveloping himself and entering the ninth level.

The black fog was everywhere, dimly shining.

After a moment, when Chen Mu regained his sight, there was nothing in front of him, only a small cushion that was so white that it glowed.

"The ninth floor..."

He silently thought about the trick that Xu Jingyang introduced to him, then walked straight to the cushion and sat down.

This level tests the soul, and magic power and magic weapons cannot be used.

If you want to pass this level, you need to use the power of your soul to dispel the three extremely evil soul barriers.

As expected, after Chen Mu settled down, his magic power seemed to be restricted in some way and could not be used at all.

Suddenly, a whistling sound of cold wind echoed in his sea of ​​consciousness. He frowned slightly, and a strong sense of crisis suddenly emerged!
"call!"

Suddenly, a ghost with ox horns that was completely black except for its two red eyes rushed straight towards the sea of ​​consciousness.

Chen Mu's heart was shocked, and he quickly mobilized the power of his soul to condense a barrier in front of him. Then he kept moving and immediately used the God-Shaking Technique to press forward!

"Oh!"

A loud bang echoed, and the ox-horn ghost slammed heavily into the barrier, and its body was forced back hundreds of feet by the recoil force.

At the same time, the God-Shaking Technique approached and smashed towards the Ox-Horn Ghost like a tsunami.

"Wow!"

Suddenly, a shrill cry like that of a crane was heard, and the eyes of the ox-horn ghost gradually became dimmed. Wisps of soul energy spread out and floated aimlessly in the sea of ​​consciousness.

Chen Mu was delighted, this was the art of shaking the gods!

The extremely dark soul barrier that ordinary cultivators find difficult to deal with is almost vulnerable under the attack of this secret soul technique!
However, before he could rejoice for a moment, two ox-horned ghosts suddenly emerged from the overflowing soul energy and pounced on him together.

In such an urgent situation, Chen Mu was not surprised at all. He once again mobilized the power of his soul and used the same method.

These two horned ghosts are the final test of this level. If you can survive them, you will have passed this level...

Two quarters of an hour later, the sea of ​​consciousness returned to tranquility, with only numerous slowly floating black soul energies, indicating that the previous battle was not in vain.

Chen Mu exhaled, opened his eyes, looked at the soul energy and smiled.

This is the ninth level opportunity. The pure soul energy can be refined by cultivators. One strand can increase the strength of his soul. Such a number here is enough to increase the strength of his soul by 10%!
"Ordinary cultivators fear it like a tiger, but I really like it... If I hadn't lost the Extreme Yin Soul Barrier after passing it, I really hope to come here more often."

He smiled in his heart and shook his head, then opened his mouth and took a deep breath. Strands of soul energy rushed into his body like a dragon entering the sea.

Feeling the faint swelling of his soul, Chen Mu was very satisfied. He then stopped thinking and took out the soul flag to enter the next level...

It took one hour to pass the ninth level!

The tenth level is very similar to the ninth level, and both use the power of the soul to kill the remaining ghosts, but the difficulty is much greater than before.

Even with Chen Mu's current spiritual strength, it still took him seven full days to completely eliminate the remaining ghost. This shows how difficult it was.

After these two levels of tests, he roughly estimated that in order to break through safely, the soul strength of the trial-taker must at least reach the late stage of foundation building, and it will definitely take several months.

Unless one cultivates the secret art of the soul, there is only a slight possibility of an accident.

"In other words, after the tenth level, most cultivators have reached the late stage of foundation building in terms of spiritual strength. Even if they are not strong enough, they still have spiritual secrets to rely on..."

Chen Mu muttered to himself, and after a moment he sighed softly.

“The gap is getting smaller and smaller.”

After absorbing the pure soul energy of the tenth layer, Chen Mu found that his soul was swelling to the point of being astringent, and it had reached the limit of what he could bear.

If you want to go further, you need to improve your realm.

"The realm cannot be delayed any longer..."

Chen Mu was determined in his heart and did not rush to enter the eleventh floor. Instead, he continued to sit on the void cushion, sinking his mind into his dantian, and concentrating on refining the temporarily stored spiritual energy.

Suddenly, a spiritual tide surged from the tenth floor's annihilation space...

Little did they know that at this moment, on the towering stone pillar in the outside world, at the end of the Earth List, a name had quietly changed.

Number 72 on the Earth List, Chen Mu!

Above him was Jiang Dan, who had defeated him not long ago.

However, this sudden change was not noticed by many people. It was not until a quarter of an hour later that bursts of exclamations were heard from the cultivators...
