Chapter 1126 Nine Swords Trial(3)

The moment Yuanʼs Empyrean Overlord clashed with the first sword, an intense ripple swept the area while lifting a layer of the ground into the air.

When the spectators saw this, they sighed in relief knowing that theyʼd made the right decision by distancing themselves from the platform.

Once the dust settled and the spectators could finally see the situation on the platform, they were surprised to see an uninjured figure standing there.

”H-He actually managed to survive that?”

”And he doesnʼt even seem a bit fazed! What a monster!”

Before the spectators could even fully grasp the situation, the second sword appeared, and it was almost two times bigger than the first sword.

This stunned the spectators. If the second sword is already this massive, would the later swords fill the entire sky?

A few seconds later, the second sword descended from the sky, creating an even stronger ripple.

BOOM!

The entire ground shook and everyone could feel themselves being lifted off the ground for a brief second.

”Good lord! The sword may be twice as big, but the strength is at least three times stronger than the previous sword!”

”And this is only the strength of the second sword?! Thereʼs no way heʼs going to survive the next one!”

After blocking the second strike, Yuan could feel a slight tingly sensation in his hands, but such a thing can be neglected completely.

ʼThe second strike is already this powerful… Whatʼs the ninth strike going to be like?ʼ Yuan couldnʼt help but wonder to himself.

”The third strike will descend within 5… 4… 3…”

Yuan quickly cleared his mind and focused on the situation at hand.

”Hah!”

Yuan swung the Empyrean Overlord upwards, clashing with the colossal sword in the sky.

CLANG!

The spectators that believed they were in a safe distance were quickly swept up by the force and sent tumbling even further away.

By now, the entire platform was shattered, and there were fissures all around the area, looking as though a war had taken place there.

Once the dust settled, the people were able to see Yuanʼs condition, and to nobodyʼs surprise, he wasnʼt in perfect shape this time.

The clothes around his arm were torn, and his arm was soaked in blood. Despite this, Yuan wasnʼt actually in any serious condition, and the injuries on his arm instantly healed due to his perfect regeneration.

However, Yuan would be lying if heʼd said that he wasnʼt nervous about the remaining six strikes.

ʼI havenʼt felt this nervous in a while…ʼ He smiled inwardly, feeling a sudden urge of excitement coursing through his profound veins.

When the fourth sword appeared in the sky, Yuan swallowed nervously. As expected, the sword had grown in size, and it was even emitting Sword Qi this time.

ʼIf I want to defeat this trial, I will need to use more than just my raw strength.ʼ

”That sword is exuding Sword Qi! This is my first time seeing this!”

”I have never even heard about this before!”

As the fourth sword descended, Yuanʼs eyes flickered with a profound light, and his aura exploded outwards.

[Vanishing Ghostʼs Soundless Blade!]

The Empyrean Overlord was cloaked in a thin yet dense layer of Sword Qi before it was sent flying at the incoming sword.

BOOM!

Hundreds of sword lights scattered in all directions from the Sword Qiʼs impact, terrifying the spectators who scrambled to dodge it.

A few were not so lucky and were struck by the sword light. Fortunately, nobody lost their lives, but their bodies were badly injured, and it was as though they were struck by a real sword.

”M-Mother! Are you okay?!” Tian Yanyuʼs heart skipped a beat when she noticed Tian Suyinʼs arm bleeding.

”I am fine. Itʼs just a scratch.” She nodded. ”Anyways, letʼs get further away. Something tells me that this will only get worse. Weʼll die at this rate.”

The spectators scattered like flies once again.

ʼThat one was painful…ʼ Yuan sighed inwardly after blocking the fourth strike, which had cost him both of his arms.

Most would consider Yuan to be crippled now that both of his arms are broken, but within seconds, his perfect regeneration kicked in and restored his arms to its original state.

This monstrous healing ability terrified the spectators who were beginning to wonder if Yuan was even human.

The fifth sword appeared shortly after, and to everyoneʼs surprise, there was no longer just one sword in the air, but two, and they were both big enough to cover the sky.

”Heavens… There are two swords now? Thereʼs no freaking way this is possible…”

The spectators were in a daze as their eyes stared blankly at the covered sky.

Yuan took a deep breath after seeing this.

”Young Master… I donʼt doubt your abilities, but this is…” Feng Yuxiang spoke up in a worried tone.

”Iʼm not giving up when Iʼm not even halfway through the whole thing.” Yuan said with a nervous smile on his face.

”Why are you pushing yourself this hard? What could possibly be worth risking your life?”

”I donʼt know, but I will find out soon.”

Yuan could only hear a defeated sigh from Feng Yuxiang before he swung the Empyrean Overlord at the two swords in the sky that was descending at the same time.

”Young Master!”

”Brother Yuan!”

Those watching from within his body cried out loud when they saw his arms flying off his body.

Yuan gritted his teeth as intense pain circulated throughout his body.

”This isnʼt as bad as when I first experienced body tempering…” He muttered as his arms quickly regenerated.

”Holy shit! Did you see that?! His severed arms regenerated almost instantly! What kind of technique is that?!” The spectators were more impressed by his regenerating abilities than his strength that endured the fifth strike.

Of course, most of them were terrified, as they doubted whether Yuan was human or actually a demon in disguise.

”Impressive.”

A calm voice suddenly resounded in the area, catching everyone off guard.
