Chapter 484: Full Outburst, Legendary (2)
The strength of the guardians has increased significantly, but their Dao comprehension only reaches the eighth or ninth-level Domain stage. Too weak.
Wu Yuan knew early on that the difficulty was adjusted for his age and cultivation level, but he didn\'t expect it to be this easy.
After all, over eight hundred Bloodforge Kings had gone through the test before him. Among them, more than ten failed to pass the second stage.
Those who didn\'t pass the second stage are likely Golden Core cultivators who have been cultivating for two hundred years, yet refuse to break through to the next phase. Wu Yuan speculated. The older they are, the stronger the guardians they encounter.
Wu Yuan hesitated only slightly before transforming into a streak of light and charging into the Dao Heart willpower test area. Just like the previous stage, it was a soul attack, though its power was greatly enhanced.
But Wu Yuan’s greatest strength was none other than his soul! These soul attacks felt like nothing more than an itch.
Stage two, cleared.
...
At stage three, the strength of the hundred guardians truly surged, each reaching the fourth-level True Intent stage. On top of their formidable strength, they worked in harmony to take down Wu Yuan.
This did put a bit of pressure on Wu Yuan, but not more than that.
"Kill!" Wu Yuan still only exhibited the ninth-level Domain stage of the Celestial Body Dao. Countless blade rays danced. One by one, the body refiners fell.
With the difference in immortal root degrees and Dao comprehension levels, along with Wu Yuan\'s heaven-defying defense, the overwhelming attacks raining down on his body had no effect on him at all.
On the other hand, these body refiners couldn\'t block his attacks at all.
Ultimately, after some time, Wu Yuan killed the hundred guardians and once again passed through the Dao Heart willpower test area.
Stage three, cleared!
"Continue." Wu Yuan was filled with fighting spirit. He didn\'t expect the test of the so-called Overlord Hall to be this easy.
Perhaps, I might really get through the fifth stage and even the sixth stage. A bold idea popped into Wu Yuan\'s mind.
He believed that the Legendary opportunity was within his grasp.
"Stage Four." Wu Yuan turned into a streak of light and rushed deeper into the passage.
However, it wasn’t that the test was easy. Rather, he was far too strong.
The third stage guardians were already frighteningly strong, each capable of unleashing the base strength of an Amethyst Cradle cultivator. With a hundred of them working together, even a typical Golden Core Bloodforge Marquis wouldn\'t be able to emerge victorious.
On top of that, this test was administered to cultivators in their fifties or sixties.
...
In the plaza outside the Overlord Hall, silence reigned.
Over a thousand Golden Core Bloodforge Kings stood stock-still, intently looking at the words ‘Third Stage’ above the tenth vortex entrance.
"So fast."
"Too fast. Did he breeze through the third stage too?" These Bloodforge Kings were utterly stunned.
The text above the other nine vortexes still displayed \'First Stage\'.
He was two whole stages ahead!
The six Bloodforge Kings who had previously made it through the third stage did not complete their stages much faster than the other Golden Core Bloodforge Kings in their group.
Time passed.
The Golden Core Bloodforge Kings numbered 841 through 849 began completing the second stage and began the third.
One after another, the participants failed and were eliminated.
Buzz~ Just then, the text above the tenth vortex suddenly changed - Fourth Stage!
Uproar ensued.
"The fourth stage?"
"Heavens, how could anyone pass it?"
"Impossible!"
"Number 850, who is he?" Thousands of Golden Core Bloodforge Kings stared at the words with bulging eyes.
Even those who had passed the third stage were somewhat incredulous. They thought they were already immensely talented. Yet there was still a long way to go before they could clear the fourth stage.
Without a doubt, this peerless genius, Number 850, had a talent far surpassing the majority of Golden Core Bloodforge Kings.
"Can he break through the fifth stage?" A Bloodforge King blurted out.
No one responded!
Everyone waited with bated breath for the results of Number 850\'s test.
Not long after, the other nine Bloodforge Kings in the group were eliminated one by one. Only the tenth vortex remained occupied.
Clearly, Number 850 was still in the midst of challenging the fifth stage.
Silence fell over the space.
...
Inside the Overlord Hall, deep within the passage, the fifth stage began.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Blade rays swept through space.
Kill! Wu Yuan\'s eyes reddened with bloodlust as he immersed himself into the thrill of battle.
Hazy earthy-yellow light and a faint green glow combined to unleash overwhelming power.
Celestial Body Dao! Longevity Dao!
With two Intermediate Laws working in concert, Wu Yuan erupted forth with unprecedented strength, almost rivaling the Dao Field stage.
Boom! Boom!
The body refiners each exuded a robust aura, their bodies surrounded by a hazy radiant glow.Immediately, they launched a fierce attack on the towering Wu Yuan. Each saber strike tore through the sky; each hammer blow capable of submerging a small plot of land.
It was a massive assault.
During the fourth stage, all one hundred guardians reached the ninth-level True Intent stage in Dao comprehension of a Lesser Law, while their immortal roots were at the sixth-degree. Each one rivaled a Golden Core Bloodforge Marquis.
With one hundred of them teaming up, even Wu Yuan took a considerable amount of time to eliminate them all.
At that time, Wu Yuan realized that overcoming the fifth stage would be extremely difficult.
Just as he had anticipated, the strength of the one hundred guardians increased again in the fifth stage. Although their Dao comprehension did not improve, their immortal roots rose to the fourth-degree.
In terms of power, any one of the guardians here could match the likes of Ao Qi and Dongfang Hongguang.
When it came to individual strength, Wu Yuan was several times stronger than any guardian once he went all out. One on one, he could easily annihilate them.
But once a hundred of them joined forces? It was a total nightmare!
"Starsunder!"
"Scorching Sun!"
"Vast Land!"
"Ten Thousand Blades!" Wu Yuan pushed his saber technique to the limit, his blade rays either unpredictable, swift as lightning, or as heavy as a mountain.
With each slash, he injured one body refiner after another!
Likewise, these body refiners did not appear to fear death. They attacked Wu Yuan relentlessly, the power imbued in their weapons equally fearsome.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Those incredibly sharp flying swords whistled as they stabbed towards Wu Yuan.
Their moves were intricate and bizarre! The overall strength of those ten qi refiners was only a notch below that of Gao Yun before he broke through.
Even for Wu Yuan, facing them was extremely precarious, he exerted all his strength to dodge their attacks. His ether was draining at an extremely fast rate.
Another blade ray swooped past, another body refiner crumpled to the ground, another guardian died.
Hold on! Kill! There was a maniacal look in Wu Yuan\'s eyes, the blood mist churning vigorously as it worked to keep his ether from depleting.
His entire soul chamber operated at full speed, maintaining his ether reserves!
Thud! Rip! Crash! One by one, the guardians fell, while Wu Yuan\'s ether reserves continued to drop.
If it were an ordinary body refiner, their ether would likely have been exhausted by now.
Kill! Wu Yuan fought with all his strength, blood splattering all around him. The blood from the body refiners quickly dissolved.
However, some blood remained, it was Wu Yuan\'s.
Sixty percent of ether left!
Another body refiner fell!
Fifty percent.
Of the ninety body refiners, only forty-nine were left, and the pressure on Wu Yuan finally began to ease.
Forty percent ether.
Thirty-three body refiners remained; The time between each death shortened noticeably.
Thirty percent.
Eleven body refiners remained. At this moment, the power of the flying swords wielded by the ten qi refiners increased by a notch.
Earlier, when the body refiners besieged Wu Yuan, they didn\'t have much room to wield their strength.
Once Wu Yuan\'s ether dropped to the final ten percent, only ten qi refiners remained. With that, qi-refiner guardians were plunged into an inescapable nightmare.
Fight? They couldn’t withstand Wu Yuan\'s saber.
Boom! Splatter~ As a blade ray cut through the sky, the last qi refiner was instantly torn apart, blood splattering across the sky.
The passage finally quieted down.
Only half a percent left. Wu Yuan sighed inwardly.
That was too close for comfort. As long as the disparity in strength wasn\'t insurmountable, it could be compensated for with sheer numbers. This was a lesson Wu Yuan fully grasped through this battle.
Suddenly, special raindrops fell from the sky, landing on Wu Yuan’s body. As he absorbed them, his ether started to recover.
This was the grace of the Overlord Hall, ensuring that challengers could maintain their peak power at every stage.
Less than a quarter of an hour passed.
Time to try the sixth stage, the final stage. Wu Yuan had no confidence in passing the last stage.
If it weren\'t for the blood mist resupplying his ether reserves continuously, the guardians at the fifth stage would have beaten Wu Yuan to death; He may not even have been able to kill a third of them.
Swoosh! Wu Yuan flew deeper into the passage.
...
In the plaza outside the Overlord Hall.
The words above the tenth vortex changed to Fifth Stage.
Commotion ensued once more.
"The fifth stage?"
"This! This!"
"Out of over eight hundred people, only six passed the third stage, but he passed the fifth stage? Heavens!"
"He\'s on a whole other level."
"Where did he come from? Is his talent hundreds, thousands of times greater than ours?" These Bloodforge Kings felt as though they were losing their sanity.
One had to remember that they were the most powerful Golden Core prodigies from the Bloodforge Devil Hall in the last century. Those who passed the third stage could already be considered top talents of the macrocosm. Yet Number 850 surpassed them by two major stages, how monstrous was this talent?
Suddenly, a figure in blood-red robes was blasted out from the vortex, falling heavily to the ground, covered in fresh blood. With the application of ether, his injuries began to heal rapidly.
Number 850 failed to pass the sixth stage.
