"This... must be a dream! I must be dreaming," a martial artist murmured to himself as he saw the illuminated Trial Sword Tower Thirty-Third Layer, feeling somewhat dazed. He then slapped himself hard twice to wake up.
"Thirty layers, I... I made it..." At that moment, more and more martial artists began to tremble as they exclaimed, some even shedding tears of joy. They felt proud to witness this moment.
"I really... succeeded." Feng Buping spoke excitedly, his words stumbling. He never expected someone could actually reach the Thirty-Third Layer. If he could hold on and pass through the Thirty-Third Layer, he couldn't bear to think further, as the legends were simply too enticing.
"What? Someone reached the Thirty-Third Layer? How is that possible!" Just then, a figure emerged from the Trial Sword Tower. Upon seeing the illuminated Thirty-Third Layer, his expression changed drastically.
"Oh, Azure Dragon, you came out too. It's a pity that the Nineteenth Layer was too formidable; I couldn't last long. However, this achievement should still be considered quite good," Demon Prince said with a smile upon seeing Azure Dragon Martial Sovereign who had exited earlier than him.
"Someone reached the Thirty-Third Layer, but I don't know who it is," Azure Dragon murmured, then turned away dejectedly.
"What? The Thirty-Third Layer? Damn it, is it Skywind or that guy Xiao Cangjian?" His expression also changed dramatically. After muttering a few words in disbelief upon seeing the illuminated Thirty-Third Layer, he sat down nearby, waiting to see who it was.
Just a minute later, Phoenix Luan also walked out of the Trial Sword Tower. However, her expression was more curious than surprised. Her eyes were fixed on the Trial Sword Tower, eager to find out who had reached the thirty layers.
"There are still three people inside the Trial Sword Tower: Xiao Cangjian, Skywind, and Ren Pingsheng." When Demon Prince mentioned Ren Pingsheng, his expression became somewhat strange and shocked. Not just him, but the other two felt similarly.
Ren Pingsheng ranked fourth in the Sword Master Rankings. Although they hadn't said it aloud, they all believed their strength should be above his. Yet now, seeing him still in the Trial Sword Tower, and at the second Nineteenth Layer, made it hard for them to believe. Regardless of the final outcome, his displayed strength had already surpassed all three of them.
"I didn't expect this Wind and Cloud Sword Sovereign to hide so deeply and possess such great strength," Azure Dragon remarked with some admiration. This was his first time meeting Ren Pingsheng, so he naturally didn't know about his previous abilities.
"I'm afraid it's not just that; perhaps he had hidden his strength before, but it definitely wouldn't be by much. I believe it's more about his improvement during this time," Phoenix Luan said softly.
"That can't be! That's too exaggerated. He only passed through the Trial Sword Tower four months ago; such progress in just four months is terrifying," Demon Prince said in shock, his face filled with astonishment.
"Forget it; let's not speculate wildly. Let's just wait patiently!" She chuckled lightly and shook her head. The three fell silent, holding their breath as they awaited the final result.
At this moment in the second Nineteenth Layer of the Trial Sword Tower, only two people remained: Ren Pingsheng and Skywind. Skywind had arrived at this layer earlier than Ren Pingsheng, moving a bit faster; however, he still had fifteen opponents left to deal with, which wasn't something that could be resolved quickly.
Though Ren Pingsheng arrived a bit later, his strength combined with his fearless attitude towards injuries allowed him to catch up. There were still eighteen opponents remaining.
"Ding... ding..." Under the siege of eighteen opponents, Ren Pingsheng continuously changed his form while wielding his sword skillfully to block incoming attacks. His Longsword vibrated constantly, and even occasional counterattacks yielded results.
"Slash!" He flickered and vanished from sight, leaving only a phantom behind. One opponent nearby was caught off guard and struck down from behind by his sword. However, the other opponents reacted quickly; three swords attacked simultaneously from three different directions, leaving him no way to evade.
"Let's go!" Ren Pingsheng gritted his teeth and charged directly at an opponent without even trying to block. When the Longsword pierced through his chest, he simultaneously pierced through the opponent's Heart. At that moment, two other swords were already behind him; he suddenly retreated, and the other two swords passed through his chest.
He grabbed the two swords with his left hand and slashed back with one of them. The momentary pause of the two opponents sealed their fate as they were cut in half.
"You can't keep this up; there are still so many opponents left. You won't last long. Just activate the Killing Heart and go all out," the Demon Emperor said.
"Haha, this is enough; this is more than enough." With three horrifying wounds on his chest, he continued to dodge the attacks of the remaining fourteen opponents, blood pouring everywhere. Despite his toughness, his face turned pale, and he was struggling to hold on.
"Let's end this! Wind and Cloud One Sword, kill!" Ren Pingsheng paused for a moment before turning around and slashing down with his sword. The space was enveloped in Cloud Mist, trapping all fourteen opponents. Countless Wind Blades tore through the Void like rain falling down, stirring up the Cloud Mist into a boiling frenzy.
"You've gone mad; you can't control them," the Demon Emperor shouted. During the twenty-eighth layer, he couldn't even control ten opponents, let alone these fourteen stronger ones. He feared he could only hold them for a breath at most.
"Hehe, that's enough. Explode! Explode! Explode!" As he saw his opponents about to break free, he shouted loudly. Countless blood droplets from the ground flew up, forming ten Longswords that flashed by in an instant.
"Boom... Boom..." A series of explosions echoed within the Cloud Mist. The Cloud Mist had thinned to a mere layer, but the Wind Blades continued to fall relentlessly. Coupled with the injuries from the blood swords' explosions, more than half of the ten opponents were taken down, leaving only three who managed to escape.
For those three heavily injured opponents, Ren Pingsheng's figure flickered as eight Phantom Bodies flashed past. The entire space of the Nineteenth Layer fell silent. At that moment, those three opponents slowly dissipated.
"See? Didn't I take care of them?" He chuckled grimly, his face smeared with blood, making his smile appear somewhat sinister. Yet even then, his aura had completely weakened. After losing so much blood and sustaining such severe injuries while battling for so long, no one could withstand it.
"I realize you're quite ruthless and crazy at your core; it just hasn't been forced out before," the Demon Emperor remarked oddly.
"Maybe!" Ren Pingsheng felt a shift in space, and then all his wounds healed completely; his cultivation returned to its peak state without a trace of injury left on him.
"This place is truly miraculous; if it were outside, it would probably take days to recover," he observed with some astonishment. Although he had experienced this several times before, this time felt particularly pronounced.
"Indeed!" Ren Pingsheng suddenly sensed something and turned to see Xiao Cangjian battling in the distance. This surprised him greatly; however, upon seeing thirty opponents appearing in the Void, he knew he hadn't come to the wrong place—this was indeed the Thirty-Third Layer. He just didn't understand why they could see each other.
At the same time, Xiao Cangjian also noticed Ren Pingsheng. They exchanged glances and saw surprise in each other's eyes; Xiao Cangjian's gaze held an additional shock. Initially, due to Ren Pingsheng's integration with Cloud Realm, he had begun to regard him with some importance but didn't think much of his strength.
"Indeed impressive; you actually made it to the Thirty-Third Layer. Eastern Domain Storm Sword Sovereign is a worthy opponent," he narrowed his eyes for the first time taking Ren Pingsheng seriously as a formidable rival.
"Supreme Sword Master Xiao Cangjian, worthy of being ranked first in Sword Master Rankings; you are also half a step into Zongji Jing," Ren Pingsheng sensed this immediately due to his Demonic Essence.
"The Thirty-Third Layer; it seems there will be quite a fierce battle ahead." He focused his mind and cautiously looked for an opportunity to begin battling again. At this point, his opponents' cultivation was entirely on par with his own without any difference.
"Thirty opponents at half-step Zongji Jing; this truly is a test." He threw himself wholeheartedly into battle; at this moment, even a slight oversight could lead to total defeat.
The Eight Paths of the Phantom Body continuously shifted, and Ren Pingsheng utilized the Ninefold Illusion Body to evade or attack each time. For some reason, although these opponents had exquisite Movement Techniques, they could not replicate the Ninefold Illusion Body. If they could use the Ninefold Illusion Body as well, Ren Pingsheng would not have made it this far so easily.
"Just killing one person and I've already been injured." He had seized the opportunity to kill an opponent. However, now they were even more formidable; while Ren Pingsheng killed one, he was also struck by a sword on his back. If he hadn't dodged quickly, he would have likely been immediately cut to pieces by a flurry of swords.
"They have no blood; I can suppress the Blood Realm as well. Let's give it a try!" Ren Pingsheng thought of a method. He blocked an opponent's sneak attack, and three drops of blood appeared on his left hand in an instant, then flashed and struck that opponent.
With a loud explosion, although the power was decent, it left no wounds on the current opponents. After all, his Blood Realm was still only at a minor level; the Nineteenth Layer had such great power mainly due to its numbers.
However, it still had an effect; the explosion would impact him, creating openings in both his strikes and visual perception. This was Ren Pingsheng's opportunity.
"Whoosh..." The Sky-Cleaving Sword sliced through the air instantly. The opponent was affected by the explosion and reacted a beat slower, allowing Ren Pingsheng to pierce through their heart with one strike.
Ren Pingsheng continued to seek opportunities to strike. With the coordination of the Eight Paths of the Phantom Body, within a moment, five opponents fell under his sword. However, amidst so many equally skilled opponents attacking him, he also sustained four or five wounds.
"Ah, more people are coming?" Ren Pingsheng looked somewhat awkward; half of his blue robe was torn, revealing the white clothing underneath, which was completely stained with blood. At this moment, he wasn't wearing the Thousand Silk Armor because armor was not permitted here. As he swayed his body, he glanced into the distance.
The person appearing there was Skywind from the previous Nineteenth Layer. He looked shocked as he observed Ren Pingsheng and Xiao Cangjian battling; he hadn't expected someone to arrive even earlier than him. Besides his old rival, there was also the fourth-ranked Wind and Cloud Sword Sovereign from the Sword Master Rankings.
However, he was not an ordinary person; after just a glance, he focused his mind again as his own opponent appeared. What he needed to do now was battle; there was no time to pay attention to others.
The Trial Sword Tower's Thirty-Third Layer, which had been calm for countless years, suddenly welcomed three individuals. Yet who could reach the end remained uncertain.
