“Xiao Cangjian, Ren Pingsheng. I will find you both for a battle sooner or later,” Skywind shouted in his heart as he looked at the still glowing Trial Sword Tower's thirtieth floor. Although his defeat was somewhat related to Xiao Cangjian, he also knew that even without Xiao Cangjian's influence, he wouldn't have lasted much longer.
“But what happened with Xiao Cangjian in the end? How did his momentum suddenly become so terrifying? Could it be some kind of Secret Technique?” He was filled with confusion; at the time, he had only caught a fleeting glimpse, but he would not mistake that terrifying aura.
“Skywind brother, how did the thirtieth floor feel?” Azure Dragon approached and asked with some anticipation.
“The thirtieth floor? Very strong, very strong. Each opponent's strength is on par with yours, and facing the attacks of thirty opponents can be overwhelming,” he thought for a moment before replying. “But that's not the most terrifying part; when there are only ten opponents left, their strength will increase again.”
“Oh, has someone killed twenty opponents already?” Demon Prince also came over, looking somewhat shocked.
“Indeed, when I exited, Xiao Cangjian still had ten opponents left, but he was severely injured, and his aura was strange. As for Ren Pingsheng, it seems he also had ten opponents remaining. However, I had just failed at that moment, so I don't know the specifics.”
“Are these two monsters? Their strength is so impressive!” they all exclaimed.
“They are indeed monsters. Let's wait and see; I'm just afraid that they might actually clear the thirtieth floor. I just don't know who it will be,” Skywind said with a mix of envy and frustration. He was merely a witness to miracles, not a creator of them, which made it hard for his proud heart to accept.
On the thirtieth floor of the Trial Sword Tower, an intense Battle was underway. The strength of Xiao Cangjian and Ren Pingsheng had at least doubled compared to before; these opponents were no longer as challenging for them. Essentially, they could resolve each opponent with just a few strikes. In the blink of an eye, only five opponents remained for both of them—half had already been defeated.
“Boom… their strength is increasing!” Ren Pingsheng blocked a strike and felt his hand pause; he immediately sensed that his opponent's strength had actually increased by three points. This realization struck him; perhaps this was why no one had cleared the thirtieth floor of the Trial Sword Tower in one hundred thousand years.
Killing twenty opponents of equal strength was already a difficult task. After ten opponents remained, their strength would increase by one-third. Even if they could pass the first test, this next challenge would likely catch them off guard and lead to their demise.
When only five opponents remained, their strength would increase again by one-third. If it weren't for his Killing Heart and Xiao Cangjian's Divine Bloodline, they wouldn't have been able to hold on until now.
"These thirty levels are indeed terrifying, but I fear this isn't the end!" Ren Pingsheng muttered to himself. Even though his opponent's strength had increased by six levels compared to before, they were still not his match; there remained a slight gap.
"Kill!" In just two flashes of the Cracking Sky Sword, he ended the strength of two opponents. The remaining three opponents paused, and their power surprisingly surged to double. As the three swords slashed toward him with overwhelming force, their strength began to slowly approach Ren Pingsheng's.
"No, I can't wait any longer. Wind and Cloud One Sword, slash!" Ren Pingsheng's expression changed; their strength had already increased by one and a half times compared to before. If this continued, something unexpected might happen. So he decided to eliminate them all at once.
Cloud Mist rose, and Wind Blade howled. All three opponents were enveloped within it, and the sounds of explosions echoed continuously inside. One could feel that the battle was intense.
Xiao Cangjian had the same thought; he also prepared a Sword Technique to simultaneously annihilate the three opponents. His speed was no slower than Ren Pingsheng's.
"Boom... Boom..." Two violent explosions occurred as their Sword Techniques were directly dispersed. The two opponents emerged, their momentum surging, not weaker than either of them. The previous Sword Technique had been shattered by them. Then they shifted their gazes, each locking onto one target.
"I see now; there is still one final test here. Even if I use my Sword Technique against ten opponents, I can probably only kill five at most. It seems the Trial Sword Tower has long established this rule; this last stage will surely require a fierce battle," Ren Pingsheng said calmly.
At this moment, he no longer held back; this was the last opponent. His aura peaked, surrounded by black Demonic Energy, his long hair flying as if he were a true demon king.
"Kill!" He stepped forward, his figure flashing as he charged in, and his opponent reacted similarly.
"Boom..." The two Longswords clashed, producing a piercing roar that reverberated throughout the entire thirtieth level. The terrifying impact created ripples in the Void, spreading outward like waves.
"Hmph, even if your strength is equal to mine, you won't be my opponent," Ren Pingsheng scoffed coldly as his figure suddenly vanished. When he reappeared, he was off to the side; boundless Azure Wind howled as a green Sword Qi slashed forward. It was Wind Sword, combined with his perfected Wind Realm, its power was terrifying.
"I knew you would do that, but you can't stop me. You are merely a lifeless thing; I'll just waste a bit of blood." Seeing his opponent using the same Sword Technique, a smile appeared on his face. His figure flickered as eight Phantom Bodies appeared simultaneously. Then all eight Phantom Bodies waved their hands, sending streams of blood flying out.
"Haha, let it end! Explode!" A fleeting smile crossed Ren Pingsheng's face as streams of blood exploded forth. Perhaps the power of a single drop was negligible, but with hundreds of drops combined, even someone like him could not afford to ignore it.
"Wind and Cloud Sword, slash!" Seeing that his opponent was indeed not indifferent, he unleashed countless sword energies to resist, and this was his opportunity. In an instant, the opponent was entangled in mist. Although he broke free immediately, the boundless mist made it difficult for him to escape quickly, and then countless wind blades whistled down.
"Damn, how can this guy be like this?" Ren Pingsheng also felt himself ensnared by the endless mist. His previously relaxed expression changed. Based on his previous encounters with opponents, they would first resolve the crisis before attacking; they wouldn't engage in such a mutually destructive fight.
"Could it be because of the Sword Trial Tower? Activate!" The great sword intent on his body was released, and combined with the Artistic Conception of Clouds, the surrounding restraints immediately lessened significantly. He then swung his Void Splitting Sword repeatedly. Waves of azure sword energy surged forth, colliding with the wind blades.
"Scatter!" He turned his body, and the entire void paused for a moment. A white sword energy flashed by. The third style of the Heavenly Sword, combined with seventy-five percent of his sword intent, forcibly cleaved a path through the mist.
"Die!" With a step forward, Ren Pingsheng broke through and then struck down at his opponent who was about to break through the mist without even looking. Again, it was the third style of the Heavenly Sword, disappearing in a flash. The opponent's form stiffened and was unexpectedly split in two from the middle.
"Finally over." He gasped for breath and said. Although he had broken through, he was also severely injured. He then turned to look at the other side. Xiao Cangjian had just finished as well and happened to look over at the same time. He was in a similar situation, covered in blood and heavily wounded.
"You surprised me; I didn't expect you to make it this far and succeed." Xiao Cangjian said calmly, his golden pupils shimmering with light.
"I didn't expect you to possess divine blood; that's truly surprising." Ren Pingsheng's emotions were hard to stir under the state of killing intent; his expression was as calm as water.
Xiao Cangjian narrowed his eyes slightly, showing a hint of fluctuation in his expression, perhaps not expecting someone to recognize him.
"Buzz..." Suddenly, the space trembled, and then they reappeared in another space where two beams of light flashed before them.
"Hmm, could this be the so-called inheritance?" Both picked it up; their consciousness swept over it and discovered its contents: it was actually a divine-level cultivation technique called Sword God Formula. However, this technique only reached the Emperor level, and since there were two of them, each could only obtain a part. Originally, only the first person to break through could receive the inheritance; unexpectedly, both had arrived simultaneously.
"What a pity; it's just a technique. I have the Ancient Lan Formula and can't make use of it." Ren Pingsheng thought somewhat helplessly; he felt that the Ancient Lan Formula was definitely superior. Most of his current cultivation relied on the Ancient Lan Formula, so there was no need for a change.
"Ren Pingsheng, I must obtain this inheritance. I am a descendant of the Sword God; this is the most suitable technique for me." Xiao Cangjian collected half of the inheritance and then turned to look over.
"This technique only reaches the Imperial level. Since we know each other, how about you take an Imperial-level technique and I take a small loss in exchange?"
"I don't have any Imperial-level techniques. I must obtain this technique, and we shouldn't harm our relationship. How about a duel? The winner gets the other half of the inheritance, while the loser receives some compensation."
"Alright, I also want to see the power of a divine bloodline." Ren Pingsheng agreed without hesitation.
"Very well, then be ready for this strike." Xiao Cangjian said with a smile, as his aura surged and the long sword shimmered with blue light. "Here it comes, Wind Slash!"
"Goodness, it's actually ninety percent of the Wind Artistic Conception. Truly impressive." His eyes narrowed as his aura peaked, and the Sky-Splitting Sword flickered as the Wind and Cloud Sword was unleashed.
This time, the Wind and Cloud Sword's range was halved, but its power reached its peak. After enveloping the opponent with terrifying sword energy, countless wind blades began to merge into over a dozen blue sword energies. They continuously collided with the opponent's sword energy, shattering repeatedly. The Cloud Artistic Conception constantly bound that sword energy; although it was just for an instant, it could continue endlessly, buying time for the reorganization of the wind blades.
The ninety percent Wind Artistic Conception clashed with the fused Wind and Cloud Artistic Conception, creating a tempest where both were evenly matched.
"Boom... Boom..." Eventually, as the mist dissipated more and more, the Wind Artistic Conception gradually consumed itself completely. When the space calmed down, both sides were surprisingly equal.
"This inheritance is of no use to me. If you can present something that satisfies me, I might consider giving it to you." Seeing Xiao Cangjian's silent expression, Ren Pingsheng thought for a moment before speaking.
"Sure, all my belongings are here; you can take whichever one you fancy." Xiao Cangjian's golden pupils burned with golden flames before he nodded and tossed over his spatial ring.
"Very well, this inheritance is yours." He took the spatial ring, swept through it to retrieve three items, then tossed it back along with the half of the inheritance he had received.
