Chapter 1174: Chapter 1174: Breaking Through to Middle Stage Earth Immortal
"Buzz!"
The sword Qi slashed down like a sharp blade.
Xu Nian dared not show the slightest negligence and immediately executed Space Nine Kills!
"Buzz!"
Xu Nian swung a slash, like nine layers of sword light superimposed.
In an instant, a space blade fused with nine space sword lights burst out and fiercely sliced toward the sword radiance.
The space sword light was invisible and formless, its speed reaching the pinnacle.
"So strong, is this the inheritance Xu Nian received? This move is enough to easily annihilate us," Li Tiangang couldn’t help but say.
Regarding this Space Nine Kills, he felt completely incapable of resistance.
Thinking of this, a complex look flashed through his eyes.
He, a dignified Late Stage Earth Immortal Realm expert, actually needed an Early Stage Earth Immortal to protect him—it was truly a bit shameful.
Liu Bai Ru also felt deeply moved inside, not knowing what to say.
However, when she looked at Xu Nian, her eyes were filled with anticipation and relief.
From the moment she saw Xu Nian, she felt a sense of closeness, as if Xu Nian was her younger brother.
Now seeing Xu Nian’s strength so formidable, she naturally felt happy inside.
"Boom!"
The Space Nine Kills and the sword Qi collided.
They actually held each other in mid-air for a dozen breaths of time.
At that moment, everyone present was stunned.
They truly couldn’t imagine that such an attack could be unleashed by someone at the Early Stage Earth Immortal Realm.
"Boom!"
Finally, the two forces of sword Qi shattered, transforming into a storm of space.
In an instant, Xu Nian was engulfed, as if being completely flayed by blades.
On Xu Nian’s black scale armor, dense scars appeared, bleeding profusely, blood mist permeating the air.
Yet Xu Nian still didn’t resist, letting the sword Qi rampage.
Xu Nian closed his eyes, bathed in the sword Qi storm, quickly turning into a mass of flesh.
Standing outside, Li Tiangang and the others felt shocked, deeply pained in their hearts.
"Father, why is he not resisting?" Li Anshan asked, a bit perplexed.
Hearing his son’s question, Li Tiangang shook his head helplessly, utterly disappointed.
Both were youths, and Xu Nian was even younger than him.
How could the difference be so vast?
Others were confronting the sword Qi storm to comprehend laws, whereas his own son didn’t even know what was happening.
Li Anshan looked completely baffled.
What did he do?
Why was his father so disappointed?
He merely asked a question, how did it seem as if he had done something wrong?
Shi Guangxu, standing by, glanced at the bewildered Li Anshan, patted his shoulder, and said helplessly, "Resign yourself to fate; you have no future!"
Li Anshan looked even more bewildered.
Why should he resign himself?
He was at least in the Middle Stage Earth Immortal Realm. Although his understanding was slightly lacking, he was still a genius!
Yet the eyes of those around him were filled with disappointment, making him want to cry without tears.
It suddenly felt as if all these years of cultivation were in vain.
Wasn’t it just in vain?
Xu Nian spent a mere twenty years and could freely slay Late Stage Earth Immortal experts.
Meanwhile, he was nearly ninety years old, yet only at the Middle Stage Earth Immortal Realm.
At this moment, Xu Nian was oblivious to the farce occurring outside. He was completely immersed in the comprehension of the Wind Attribute Dimension Cutting Profound Argumentation.
He even momentarily forgot the pain of his injuries, entering a state of self-forgetfulness.
"Buzz!"
The sword Qi humanoid activated once more, immediately executing one final strike.
This strike was instantaneous like a star river, rushing across tens of thousands of light years in an instant.
"So powerful, this is even stronger than Elder Yu Mo’s first strike!" Li Tiangang exclaimed in shock.
Liu Bai Ru and the others were equally tense, unsure whether Xu Nian could withstand this strike.
Xu Nian remained unmoving, seemingly still immersed in comprehension.
Mei Ji and others grew anxious, yet they had no way to intervene, separated by a barrier.
If this sword strike hit Xu Nian, no matter how strong Xu Nian’s physical body was, it would be instantly shattered.
They had already witnessed a single strike shattering an Immortal Artifact.
"Buzz!"
Just as the sword Qi was about to reach Xu Nian, in a critical moment, Xu Nian suddenly opened his eyes.
A surge of sword Qi soared into the sky.
Xn Nian’s slaughter moved like lightning, executing a slash.
This slash had no trace of sword Qi, like an ordinary person’s strike.
Yet, in the next moment, everyone was stunned.
Because they saw that sword Qi was actually cleaved into two halves by Xu Nian’s slash, completely shattered.
"Such speed, such a sharp slash!" Li Tiangang exclaimed genuinely in admiration.
"Indeed, he actually broke through to Profound Argumentation Fifth Level, and directly at the peak." Liu Bai Ru couldn’t help saying.
This slash by Xu Nian had already achieved the power of Profound Argumentation Fifth Level Peak.
This marked that Xu Nian had officially entered the Fifth-level Heaven Realm of Dimension Cutting Profound Argumentation.
Looking at the shattered sword Qi, Xu Nian’s face also showed a joyous expression.
Just now, he almost died.
Indeed, fortune and misfortune are intertwined!
Not only did he pass the Earth-level test, but he also comprehended the new Dimension Cutting Profound Argumentation.
"Profound Argumentation Fifth Level, indeed extraordinary, let’s call this slash Returning Truth!" Xu Nian muttered to himself.
This slash had no dazzling light but its power was terrifying.
With just this slash, he could slaughter any Peak Earth Immortal expert below the Sixth Level.
"Passed the assessment!"
Four big characters appeared on the wall.
In the next moment, a beam of light descended upon Xu Nian, enveloping him.
Xu Nian instantly felt all his injuries healed, and more so, his original core began madly devouring this power.
Xu Nian’s cultivation continually rose, directly surging from the Early Stage Earth Immortal to the Middle Stage Earth Immortal.
The difference between demon essence cultivation and spirit cultivation is not large.
So, at this moment, Xu Nian’s demon essence was directly transforming into Immortal Essence.
As the Immortal Essence condensed, Xu Nian’s strength rapidly improved.
"Boom!"
Xu Nian’s demon essence completely transformed into Immortal Essence, breaking through to the Middle Stage Earth Immortal Realm.
"What a powerful feeling, the power of Immortal Essence is indeed much stronger than demon essence, and my Immortal Essence seems even stronger than other Earth Immortal experts." Xu Nian felt in his heart, his face showing excitement.
With his current strength increased greatly, even if facing Elder Yu Mo again, he wouldn’t fall behind even if he couldn’t kill him.
Yet defeating both Elder Yu Mo and Wei Dong at once might still not be enough.
The barrier opened, the inheritance completely ended.
Xu Nian walked out from the platform, Li Tiangang and others all had joyful expressions.
Xu Nian’s strength was beneficial for them, it increased their chances of winning in the three-month battle.
"Congratulations, congratulations, Mr. Xu truly is an unparalleled genius, in a mere moment actually comprehending the Fifth Level of Profound Argumentation, and breaking through to the Middle Stage Earth Immortal Realm." Li Tiangang sincerely remarked.
"Indeed, truly a natural talent, at your cultivation speed, within a century, you’d definitely ascend to the Immortal Realm," Liu Bai Ru also smiled and said.
"Thank you both seniors for the praise, this junior just had some luck," Xu Nian said with a smile.
Liu Bai Ru and Li Tiangang both nodded, showing Xu Nian was indeed a rare talent, neither arrogant nor impetuous.
"Let’s go to the third floor," Xu Nian said.
Liu Bai Ru and others nodded, then followed Xu Nian towards the third level.
They were all very curious about what the test on the third floor would be like.
