================¶¶================
As the ranking battles ca to a close, Luke knew that soon, a lot of disciples will be fighting to get into the Invincible Sword Faction.
This was because no faction had been able to cause such great transformation in any disciple.
Now the Invincible Sword Faction seed like the best place for those who were on the verge of giving up on entering the Inner Court in their lifeti.
Beyond a certain age, even if you break through, you will not be able to enter the inner court as your potential would have been drastically reduced and your chances of reaching higher realms of cultivation beco much more difficult.
But the Invincible Sword Faction beca a beacon of hope for these outer court disciples.
After all, who would not take the opportunity to raise their cultivation in a world where the strong reigns over the weak?
Luke had already extended an invitation to Gakner who was ranked tenth, and although he wasn't accepted, he was not rejected either.
But Luke felt that Gakner would make the right choice.
anwhile, at the Sword Tower...
Crixus had just ascended to the 32nd floor. Just a step away from the highest floor.
"He is doing it!"
"Yeah, Young Master Crixus is the strongest!"
Cheers rang out from his supporters who were watching. Many Core Disciples who had watched Arthur's battle had arrived here to watch.
Within the sword tower, a grey-haired young man in golden-white robes battled the sword puppets with great might.
*Clang!*
Swords clash, sending sparks flying around. The sword puppets used powerful sword techniques that Crixus had never heard of or seen before.
This further solidified his thoughts that the tower was truly sothing from the upper realms.
But the battle was proving to be too taxing for Crixus and his movents were slowing down.
*slice!*
*Drip!*
In a mont where he didn't react fast enough, one of the sword puppets used a bizarre movent technique to ambush him.
He could have gotten stabbed in the heart but he narrowly avoided it and got slashed in his rib instead.
This was the first ti he was getting injured since the battle started and he didn't have ti to think before he was faced with a barrage of attacks that covered all his escape routes.
'Damnit! My essence energy is running out! I didn't expect this level to be so hard. At this rate, I will never be able to clear this damned tower.'
Crixus cursed in his heart.
'It seems I will have to use that technique. It will wear out and make unable to fight further, but at least I will be able to get a glimpse of how strong the opponent on the last floor is.'
His gaze beca solemn and his hands moved with great speed, forming more than five hand signs per second in a perfect rhythm.
'Demon Sword Technique...'
'Sword Fury!'
*Shring!*
A sword cry rang out as a dark great sword appeared in his hand. The sword was larger and almost taller than him but he wielded it as though it was weightless.
A terrifying sword intent filled the surroundings and pushed back the sword puppets leaving great cuts on their armor.
"Coalition of intent...destroy!"
Cruzus waved the sword with all his might as his peak rank sword concept was fully unleashed, as this technique took away all his remaining essence energy, and then...
*Boom!*
The sword puppets could not resist in the slightest and were completely obliterated.
Crixus fell on one knee while he panted due to exhaustion. He had a few minutes to rest and rest he did.
After a while, the voice of the sword tower rang out again.
"Do wish to continue to the last floor?"
"Yes," Crixus answered firmly.
At his reply he was transfered to the next floor causing the number of the last floor on the tower to shine with light, letting those watching to know that he had ascended.
[33!]
"Great! He did it."
"One more floor and he will have cleared the sword tower with the cultivation of a Martial King."
"True, I don't believe that even that Invincible will be able to do the sa at this cultivation level."
"Let's watch...this is so exciting!"
But just as they were discussing animatedly, the light of the last floor dimd in that instant.
"What, he failed?"
"How is this possible? He didn't even remain there longer than thirty seconds!"
"Sigh...I knew this was impossible to achieve. But to be honest, getting to this level already shows how strong the current Crixus is. None of the other Elite Disciples will be his match anymore."
As everyone let out sighs of disappointnt, they suddenly realized the terrifying strength that was needed to clear the 32nd floor with a cultivation at the Martial King Realm.
With the knowledge of how the tower's challenges were, they knew that Crixus had t a late-stage Martial Emperor Realm opponent.
But more than that, the 32nd floor that he cleared should have had at least two opponents at the mid-rank of Martial Emperor Realm.
Not one, but two!
He was already stronger than so of the Great Elders of the sect while still being at the Martial King Realm.
anwhile, Crixus appeared at an unfamiliar hall while being lost in thought on the opponent he faced on the last floor.
"Peak 7th Rank Martial Emperor with a deep control over peak rank sword concept."
This was too powerful for the current him and he was only able to last for just thirty seconds alone.
Which was already a powerful feat on its own, because within that short ti fra, he could have died hundreds of tis.
That was how powerful a late-stage Martial Emperor combatant was.
After a few seconds, he had a proper look at his surroundings, this was similar to the hall where Arthur appeared after he cleared the tower.
A voice spoke at this ti.
"Congratulations on clearing the 32nd floor. Here is your reward."
Crixus heard a voice but he saw no one. The Sword Tower's artifact spirit did not appear in front of him as he did for Arthur.
He didn't even give him the luxury of selecting which Martial Arts he wanted.
At this ti a spatial ring appeared in front of Crixus and he grabbed it. And imdiately he did, he was teleported out, without even getting the chance to view what his rewards are.
