"Demon Emperor, I actually discovered something. Maybe this time I can really break through the Thirty-Third Layer," Ren Pingsheng said while Battling.
"Oh, what has given you such confidence?" Demon Emperor asked with interest.
"Haha, have you forgotten that my Demonic Path cultivation is already half a step into Zongji Jing? I've already condensed my Demonic Essence, and my strength is several times stronger than before."
"That's true. The power of Demonic Essence is ten times that of Demonic Energy. Your current strength has indeed far surpassed what it was before; there's really a good chance," Demon Emperor said after a rare moment of contemplation.
"Actually, those Zong-level Martial Artists you encountered before were all quite mediocre, basically at the bottom tier. Otherwise, how could you have escaped with your life from them? You should know that the strength of the Daoist Sect Level far exceeds that of the Supreme Realm, and a powerful opponent can easily annihilate you with a flick of their hand."
"Yes, now that I'm half a step into Zongji Jing, I feel the gap even more. The difference is too great. Fortunately, my comprehension is decent; I've kept up with my Artistic Conception and Sword Momentum. Otherwise, those few times could have been really dangerous," Ren Pingsheng nodded, his Sky-Rending Sword lightly shimmering as each opponent fell one by one.
He now had eight Phantom Bodies, constantly changing and shifting, making it difficult for his opponents to grasp what was happening. However, Ren Pingsheng was also very cautious because there were many opponents; even if each person attacked one Phantom Body, it would still be more than enough. Thus, his opportunities were fleeting and required quick reflexes to seize them instantly to inflict damage. Moreover, he had to react swiftly; as soon as a Phantom Body disappeared, he needed to condense another one.
Ren Pingsheng was now very in sync with the eight Phantom Bodies, which was developed gradually within the Trial Sword Tower. To continuously fend off his opponents' attacks, he had no choice but to do this. Or rather, he was preparing for the subsequent layers.
"Bang..." With a slash of his Sky-Rending Sword, an opponent was immediately reduced to fragments. He dodged the attack of a Longsword, then vanished and reappeared next to another Phantom Body, striking down another opponent with one sword strike. Twenty-seven opponents fell one after another.
"Wind and Cloud One Sword, slash!" Seeing the remaining six opponents, he hesitated not at all; with a twist of his Sky-Rending Sword, the entire space erupted into a Storm Rising, countless Wind Blades slicing through. Ten opponents were directly turned into fragments amidst the entanglement of the Cloud Mist.
The Trial Sword Tower did not prohibit the use of Sword Techniques, only suggesting that it was better not to use them. The key still lay in whether you could accurately grasp the timing of their use. Otherwise, if you unleashed a single move of your Sword Technique without killing many people, you would be left waiting to be blasted into pieces by countless other Sword Techniques!
"Next is the twenty-eighth layer; the opponents will probably be even stronger, but it shouldn't be too much of a problem. The key lies in the last two layers!" Ren Pingsheng said softly.
"Haha, you only passed this layer using your True Qi cultivation; at most you'll use your Demonic Path cultivation later on. Just go all out and push through; there's no need for so many concerns," Demon Emperor said bluntly.
"It's also thanks to my mastery of the Wind Realm that I can pass through using just my True Qi. By the way, do you think I can use my Killing Heart here?"
"It should be possible since that's also part of your strength; it's just uncertain whether your opponents will also use it if you do—that's crucial."
"Forget it; it seems I can't use it unless absolutely necessary. Otherwise, if those opponents can use it too, that would be asking for death," Ren Pingsheng shook his head and then looked at the twenty-eight opponents appearing in front of him in the Void. This was already the second layer of the Trial Sword Tower.
At the same time on the twenty-seventh layer, Demon Prince, Phoenix Luan, and Azure Dragon were also entering the twenty-eighth layer just like Ren Pingsheng. It seemed their strength had significantly increased during this time.
Originally on the twenty-eighth floor, Xiao Cangjian and Skywind were still there, but their battle had reached its final stage, with only a few enemies remaining. It seemed that as long as nothing unexpected happened, they would likely pass through this level. It appeared that everyone's strength had increased, or perhaps they had been hiding their true abilities before.
"Indeed impressive! They have all passed through the twenty-seventh floor and entered the twenty-eighth floor!" A martial artist outside the Trial Sword Tower exclaimed, their faces filled with excitement as if the people inside the tower were themselves. Perhaps it was because they lacked strength that they projected their hopes onto others.
"It seems there is still a significant gap between me and them; they have actually made it to the twenty-eighth floor." The Earth-Splitting Sword Sovereign, Feng Buping, looked at the cleared twenty-seventh floor and the illuminated twenty-eighth floor with a bitter expression, feeling even more unsettled inside.
He could accept that others had reached the twenty-eighth floor since they were all among the top three in the rankings and possessed formidable strength. However, Ren Pingsheng, this newcomer, had also made it through, which was hard for him to accept.
Previously, Ren Pingsheng had advanced to the twenty-seventh floor, pushing him down from fourth place in the Sword Master Rankings. Naturally, he felt dissatisfied. Especially since he had just reached the twenty-seventh floor himself; he believed that the gap between them was small and that with a bit more effort, he could surpass him. But now it seemed he was mistaken.
Now that Ren Pingsheng had entered the twenty-eighth floor of the Trial Sword Tower, he saw the gap between them clearly. Perhaps after making progress, he could last longer on the twenty-seventh floor. However, passing through the twenty-eighth floor was something he had never considered. Maybe he had thought about it once but knew his own strength; it might have just been an illusory dream.
"Quick... quick look! Someone has entered the Nineteenth Layer!" A sudden shout interrupted his thoughts.
"The Nineteenth Layer? So they have all unleashed their full potential?" He shook his head bitterly. "I just don't know if it's Xiao Cangjian or Skywind."
"Damn! This is really troublesome!" In the twenty-eighth floor of the Trial Sword Tower, Ren Pingsheng's left hand grasped a longsword that had pierced his chest, causing his movements to pause. Then with a flash of his Earth-Splitting Sword, he pierced through his heart.
"Explode!" Without even looking back, he swung his arms behind him, sending out a spray of blood towards two ambushing opponents. The blood exploded violently, causing them to stagger unsteadily. At that moment, Ren Pingsheng stepped forward and swiftly cut across their throats.
"It's a pity they don't have blood; otherwise my Blood Realm would be even more effective," he said regretfully. When he grabbed that longsword earlier, even though it was wrapped in True Qi, he still sustained injuries. However, he did not intend to waste that blood; combining it with Blood Realm's power was indeed formidable.
"You should be more careful; you just used Blood Realm. I'm afraid they will too; then you'll be in trouble," the Demon Emperor said with some concern. The opponents created by this Trial Sword Tower would continuously change based on the challenger's strength.
"Blood Realm? Haha, that's even better! Just what I need to hone my skills!" Ren Pingsheng laughed heartily as he slashed with his Earth-Splitting Sword; Sword Qi surged forth as he charged out without hesitation.
Indeed, these opponents occasionally attacked; when Sword Qi turned faintly red due to being affected by Ren Pingsheng's blood boiling within him, even his True Qi operation was impacted.
"Heh heh, what can you replicated Blood Realms do to me? Quiet down!" He shouted loudly as Blood Realm activated; his entire body trembled and all Artistic Conceptions vanished.
"Die!" He grinned widely as eight Phantom Bodies appeared before each opponent. One opponent fell with a sword through their heart while another was split in two. At this moment, several other Phantom Bodies were already shattered.
"You mindless creatures can't stop me," Ren Pingsheng snorted coldly as his figure flickered; all Phantom Bodies disappeared and reappeared elsewhere as eight Phantom Bodies scattered again. Soon after, two more opponents fell beneath his sword.
"I don't have time to waste. Ten? That's enough!" He stepped aside to dodge the attack, calculating in his mind. Without a second thought, he swung his sword down again, using the Wind and Cloud One Sword. Amidst the Cloud Mist, a series of explosions echoed.
The twenty-seventh layer was manageable; there were only six opponents left at that time. This time, however, there were ten opponents, and the strength of the enemies on the twenty-eighth layer was far greater than those on the twenty-seventh layer. So this time, it could be considered a bit risky.
"Not enough? Then I'll strike again!" Ren Pingsheng said calmly. At that moment, two opponents who had just emerged had not yet reacted before being enveloped by his sword strike, shattering without even causing a splash of water. With that, all the opponents on the twenty-eighth layer disappeared.
"Continue to the next layer!" His eyes sparkled as his figure vanished. When he reappeared, he was already at the Nineteenth Layer, and all his injuries had healed.
"Why are you pushing yourself so hard? If it goes like before, there could be unexpected incidents. Take it slow," Demon Emperor reminded him.
"No way! I have a feeling that someone will break into the Thirty-Third Layer this time. It's either Xiao Cangjian or Skywind. I'm already falling behind and need to speed up," Ren Pingsheng said with a serious expression. His aura immediately shifted to that of Demonic Path cultivation.
"Kill!" As soon as twenty-nine figures appeared, he charged forward. The strength of the opponents on this layer had also significantly increased. Compared to his True Qi cultivation, they were almost equal in power. Unless he activated Killing Heart, he no longer had much of an advantage.
"Hurry! Hurry!" He continuously weaved through the figures, dodging or striking with his sword. Each strike took down an opponent; even if he couldn't defeat them outright, they would be severely injured and lose their battle capability. Sometimes he would even risk mutual destruction just to take down one enemy.
One opponent after another fell, but his injuries grew heavier as blood flowed everywhere. Yet his expression remained extremely calm; he continued to strike and evade as if he were not the one injured.
At this moment, Xiao Cangjian on the Nineteenth Layer was also heavily wounded, his clothes tattered and several horrifying wounds on his body. His previously indifferent expression now bore a hint of fervor. All the opponents on the Nineteenth Layer had vanished, meaning he had passed through it.
"Thirty-Third Layer, I, Xiao Cangjian, will definitely break through." His gaze was resolute as he took a step and vanished from sight. At that moment, the long-quiet Thirty-Third Layer of the Trial Sword Tower finally lit up.
