A white-haired old man with a mask emerged from the pitch-black void, a mark appearing between his brows.
“Who are you?” Shangguan Yuxin shouted, her heart racing as she felt a powerful aura emanating from the figure.
The old man chuckled softly, his voice echoing like thunder. “I am the herald of the Primordial Chaos, sent to test the worthy.”
“Test?” She narrowed her eyes, gathering her strength. “What do you want from me?”
“To see if you possess the potential to wield the heart of primordial chaos god-slaying sword,” he replied, raising his hand, causing a surge of dark energy to swirl around him.
Shangguan Yuxin felt the pressure mounting, and her cultivation level flared up. With a firm grip on her sword, she prepared to face whatever challenge lay ahead.
“Prepare yourself, for the trial of the primordial chaos begins now!” The old man declared, and the void around them twisted, forming into a heart of primordial chaos god-slaying sword formation.
As the sword formation activated, countless sword auras shot out, illuminating the darkness. Each sword aura was like a comet, streaking toward her with incredible speed.
Shangguan Yuxin swiftly dodged, using the wind god wuji sword technique to counterattack. “I won’t back down!” she shouted, unleashing her own sword aura.
The collision of their energies created a shockwave that rippled through the Sea of Clouds, shaking the very foundation of the realm.
“Good! Show me more of your strength!” The old man’s eyes sparkled with excitement as he continued to summon sword formations one after another, testing her limits.
With each attack, Shangguan Yuxin felt herself growing stronger, her spirit ignited by the battle. She knew that this was more than just a trial; it was an opportunity to prove herself worthy of the divine sword.
As the fight progressed, she channeled all her energy into the primordial chaos god-slaying sword technique, her movements becoming more fluid and powerful.
“Let’s see how long you can withstand this!” The old man shouted, as the sword formation intensified, the sword auras converging into a single, massive attack aimed directly at her.
Shangguan Yuxin took a deep breath, focusing on her goal. “I will not fall!” she yelled, unleashing a million zhang sword aura that clashed against the old man’s attack.
The resulting explosion lit up the dark void, creating a brilliant display of light and energy. In that moment, time seemed to stand still as both of their powers collided.
As the dust settled, Shangguan Yuxin stood tall, her determination unyielding. She had faced the challenge head-on and was ready for whatever came next.
To the outside world, this sword formation appeared silent and as if it did not exist!
Meanwhile, within the heart of primordial chaos god-slaying sword formation, Tan Yun was also unable to detect what was happening above the Sea of Clouds!
“Who are you!” Shangguan Yuxin looked at the masked old man, feeling a sense of impending danger. She stared hard at him and realized that his cultivation level was obscured, making it impossible for her to gauge his strength!
“Don’t be anxious, saintess Shangguan. I won’t harm you,” the masked old man said lightly. “I just want to trap you. Once Tan Yun is dead, I will release you.”
“Get away from me!” Shangguan Yuxin exclaimed anxiously. “If Tan Yun dies, no matter who you are, you will be doomed!”
“Swish!”
With a flip of her jade hand, a Divine Sword appeared, diving down as she attempted to break the sword formation to save Tan Yun.
“With me here, you still want to save Tan Yun? You’re dreaming!” The masked old man released a Divine Sword from his mouth, accompanied by the collapsing void, charging towards Shangguan Yuxin.
Shangguan Yuxin trembled with anger, having no choice but to retaliate, engaging in a fierce battle with the masked old man.
In an instant, sword auras raged, creating an unparalleled atmosphere.
At the same time, Shangguan Yuxin felt deep guilt in her heart, “It’s all my fault. Why didn’t I save Tan Yun earlier!”
