Whoosh!
As a sword descended, the figure of the gray-robed elder gently landed on a rock and smiled faintly, "You've passed the second trial!"
Chu Ming panted slightly; although he only exchanged a few moves with the gray-robed elder, the elder's Sword Dao Realm was so terrifying that Chu Ming had to exert his full strength with every strike!
"Is that all it takes to pass?"
Chu Ming asked, puzzled.
"I'm already a dead man; do you want to kill again?"
The gray-robed elder joked half-seriously, and unknowingly a Jade Scroll flickering with a faint glow appeared in his hand. He spoke to Chu Ming.
"Inside here is a martial art I created when I was young. I'm dead now and probably won't ever leave the Ninth Layer Mountain in this life, so today, I entrust it to you. I hope you won't let it be forgotten!"
After saying this, the gray-robed elder lightly flicked his right hand, and the Jade Scroll transford into a stream of light, shooting toward Chu Ming. Chu Ming instinctively reached out his right hand and caught the Jade Scroll!
"Fierce Emperor's Triple Annihilation!"
As soon as Chu Ming's Soul Power touched the Jade Scroll, a vast power surged into his mind, making him dizzy.
After a short while, Chu Ming digested the information in his mind, and waves of shock surged in his heart. This Fierce Emperor's Triple Annihilation turned out to be a Middle Grade Saint Level martial art!
"Thank you, senior!"
Chu Ming respectfully saluted the gray-robed elder while speaking. Now, he finally understood why Li Shang had told him that there were supre benefits for him within the Ninth Layer Mountain!
This Fierce Emperor's Triple Annihilation is truly a monuntal opportunity!
Acquiring a Middle Grade Saint Level martial art in the Nine Elents Dao Palace would require at least ten million Contribution Points to exchange, equating to Chu Ming passing the Ninth Layer Mountain and inexplicably gaining ten million Contribution Points!
"No need to thank , your talent far surpasses my own back then. I just don't want this martial art to continue to remain dormant!"
The gray-robed elder waved his hand with a slight smile, and then said again.
"You should ascend the mountain quickly, or you won't have enough ti!"
Chu Ming calculated the ti and found that since entering the Ninth Layer Mountain, an hour and a half had already passed. If he delayed any further, it would be uncertain if he could pass the Ninth Layer Mountain.
After thanking the gray-robed elder once more, Chu Ming turned into a red shadow and shot toward the mountain's summit.
It wasn't until Chu Ming left that the gray-robed elder withdrew his eyes, murmuring, "Truly a remarkable young talent. If he was born in my era, he would have been an invincible Sword God. Such a pity..."
The gray-robed elder shook his head, sat upright on the rock again, and everything returned to tranquility.
...
The scenery on both sides beca a blur; Chu Ming had no mind to appreciate it. At this mont, he was constantly pondering what the trial of the third stage would be.
In the first stage, the cooperation of the three Puppets—Snake Lady, Long Huan, and Hu Zhi—was flawless. Although Chu Ming passed easily, the chance for ordinary Outer Palace Disciples to pass was almost zero.
Even if they passed the first, facing the gray-robed elder in the second stage, they couldn't withstand even one sword from him.
"Look! Chu Ming has passed the trial at the mountainside and is heading to the summit!"
At this mont, the outside of the Ninth Layer Mountain was already packed, with nearly ninety percent of the Outer Palace Disciples gathered, and interspersed among them were a few Inner Palace Disciples.
In front of them, a massive holographic projection was placed by an earth-colored Puppet, displaying the entire process of Chu Ming passing the trials.
"Tsk tsk tsk, with only half the ti gone, Chu Ming has already consecutively passed the first and second stage trials. It seems there's a significant chance Chu Ming might pass the Ninth Layer Mountain."
An Outer Palace Disciple remarked.
"Heh, no one will pass the third stage. Not even Chu Ming can, unless one possesses the Attack Power of a Saint Dao stronghold. Otherwise, it's impossible to pass the third stage!"
An Inner Palace Disciple coldly laughed at the Outer Palace Disciple's words.
"Oh? Senior brother, what exactly is the trial at the summit?"
The Outer Palace Disciple curiously inquired, and his question imdiately grabbed the attention of those around, all eyes were turned toward the two of them.
"You'll find out what the third trial is in just a mont!"
The Inner Palace Disciple smiled mysteriously and did not clarify.
...
Rustle rustle rustle...
While dashing forward, Chu Ming's ears twitched, suddenly picking up on a series of scraping sounds, imdiately putting him on alert.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A series of booming sounds echoed from all directions, like thunder resounding from the horizon. The Infinite Sword appeared in Chu Ming's hand, and he looked around solemnly, his Soul Power surging out like a tide.
Whoosh!
A Red-eyed Eye Beast appeared before Chu Ming, instantly lifting its front paw and striking at Chu Ming.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
At the sa ti, a multitude of piercing noises echoed around him. Chu Ming swiftly slashed down with the Infinite Sword in his hand, turning it into a blurred Sword Aura, while his face suddenly turned pale!
Within his Soul Power's range, innurable Red-eyed Eye Beasts, as if driven mad, surged toward him with extre aggression.
"The third trial, within the stipulated ti, slay a thousand Red-eyed Eye Beasts!"
Suddenly, a chanical voice echoed from the air!
Upon hearing it, Chu Ming's face instantly darkened.
The Red-eyed Eye Beast, a Top Tier Emperor Level Demon Beast, with the strength of Emperor Dao Ninth Heaven, and he only had an hour and a half left. Within this ti, slaughtering a thousand Emperor Dao Ninth Heaven Demon Beasts was virtually impossible.
Boom!
"Eye of Illusion!"
Rumble!
A dark and cold vertical eye appeared behind Chu Ming. Killing a thousand Red-eyed Eye Beasts within the stipulated ti ant he must exert his combat power to its fullest at every mont.
"How is it possible? Slay a thousand Red-eyed Eye Beasts in an hour and a half? Is this sothing an Emperor Realm stronghold could accomplish? Even in the Inner Palace, only a few top-tier figures could reach this step!"
An Outer Palace Disciple trembled in shock, his face aghast.
For an Outer Palace Disciple, at most Emperor Dao Fifth Heaven, using their Cultivation to slaughter a thousand Red-eyed Eye Beasts was simply absurd.
This is truly an inhuman task!
"Since its establishnt, only a handful of people have passed the Ninth Layer Mountain, yet they all beca peak achievers. Even Senior Sister Jiu Xuan back in the day, at the summit, only managed to slay two hundred Red-eyed Eye Beasts before failing!"
The Inner Palace Disciple spoke indifferently.
