………
The eighth floor of the Supreme Tower of Trials!
On the eighth floor, Ryan's entire body was drenched in sweat. There was a puddle of water under his feet. These were the sweat left behind by his body!
At this moment, he felt extremely thirsty because the water in his body was rapidly depleting!
Stepping into the eighth level, Ryan felt an endless sword intent pressure!
Thump!
The passage to the ninth level was only a short ten steps away. It seemed very close, but the terrifying sword intent pressure that spread over made Ryan feel that this path was like a natural moat!
Dong dong dong!
In an instant, Ryan took four steps in a row. Under the pressure of this sword intent, it had already far exceeded the gravity of the seventh level by ten times!
At this moment, Ryan's face was also covered in sweat, and his veins were bulging. His eyes were cold. Under the pressure of that terrifying sword intent, he felt that every step he took was very difficult.
Weng weng weng weng!
The terrifying pressure of the sword intent continued to come.
Ryan's incomparably heavy feet took another step forward.
Fifth step!
The sixth step!
The seventh step!
The remaining few steps were like a natural moat, making it difficult for Ryan to cross!
Even though blood was flowing out of the corner of his mouth, his eyes were still cold.
At this moment, he was constantly enduring heart-wrenching pain.
At this moment, he was no longer the Ninth Prince who had a noble status and was adored by countless people.
At this moment, he was just a devout cultivator.
An ordinary person who was tottering under the pressure of the eighth level's sword essence!
However, he didn't give up!
Because he was Ryan!
He was the first disciple of Huaxia Academy!
He was determined to bring glory to the Huaxia Academy in the future and become the next Emperor Osgoo of the Saint Laurent Empire!
Even if this level was as difficult as ascending to the heavens, he would not give up!
Even if there was only one person who could pass the eighth level in thousands of years, he would still give it a try!
Even if he lost, he would have no regrets!
"Break!"
Under the extreme pressure of the sword intent, the unwilling Ryan let out a loud shout. Suddenly, with a bang, surging silver Combat Energy erupted from Ryan's body, and the silver color of his Combat Energy became even purer!
A grade-6 swordsman!
He had broken through!
………
Ryan, who had successfully broken through to become a grade-6 swordsman, felt that the pressure of the sword intent on his body had instantly decreased by a lot.
Ryan suppressed the joy in his heart and took a few firm steps forward, arriving at the exit of the eighth level!
In front of the path leading from the eighth level to the ninth level stood a sword stele!
And all the sword essence pressure of the eighth level was emitted from this sword stele!
This sword stele completely sealed off the path!
This also meant that if one wanted to step into the ninth level, one needed to obtain the recognition of the sword stele from the sword intent on the domain sword stele!
At this moment, Ryan finally understood why in the 1,400 years since the establishment of the Heavenly Tower of Trials, only Sword Saint Cang Mu from a hundred years ago could pass the eighth level and step into the ninth level!
The sixth level tested comprehension, the seventh level tested perseverance, and the eighth level tested…sword intent!
Sword intent was something that only Great Swordsmen could have!
Grade 7 and above were Great Swordsmen!
In other words, only by comprehending the sword intent that a grade-7 expert swordmaster could pass the eighth level!
Hiss!
Ryan took a deep breath.
At this moment, he was only a Tier 6 Swordsman. How could he have Sword Intent?
However, could it be that he could only give up and stop at the eighth level like the geniuses who had reached the eighth level in the past 1,400 years?
Could it be that he could only be a foil to Cang Mu like the others?
No! He still had dreams!
Ryan lowered his head and looked at the crystal clear, flawless, and dazzling Huaxia Token in his hand!
This small token seemed to have given Ryan the confidence and strength to overcome all difficulties!
He raised his head and looked at the ninth level above him with burning eyes. It was a region that only Cang Mu could step into for 1,400 years. A burning desire rose in his heart!
Since Ask the Heavens Academy's Cang Mu could do it, he, Rui En, firmly believed that he could do it too!
………
Ryan endured the intense sword intent pressure produced by the sword stele and sat cross-legged in front of the sword stele on the eighth level.
"This is the sword intent left behind by the ancestor who built the Supreme Tower of Trials 1,400 years ago!”
Ryan's expression turned solemn as he looked at the image of the emperor on the sword stele.
As everyone knew, 1,400 years ago, the first Emperor Augustus was the most powerful Emperor of the Saint Laurent Empire. He was also the undisputed saint-tier powerhouse of that era!
How could the sword intent he left behind be simple?
Ryan suppressed the excitement in his heart and calmed down. His consciousness merged into the sword stele and he carefully sensed the sword intent on the sword stele.
Swoosh swoosh…
The scene around him changed, and Ryan felt that he had actually entered the picture on the sword stele.
It was as if he was dreaming!
He saw war!
A bloody and cruel war that made one's heart palpitate…
That battle caused the heavens and earth to collapse, the stars to dim, and the sun and moon to lose their light!
He saw a vast grassland that was as green as jade. Under the sky were hundreds of millions of humans, elves, orcs, and dragons!
They were cheering and fighting!
They were fighting for the glory of their respective races!
On a majestic mountain peak far away from the battlefield, an Emperor stood quietly with a sharp sword in his hand.
It was the first Emperor Augustus from 1,400 years ago!
A ray of sunlight flashed past, illuminating the imperial robe he was wearing.
But even so, Ryan still could not see his face clearly.
Suddenly!
He moved!
The first Emperor Osgoo held a sharp sword in his right hand and gently slashed at the void in front of him.
His sword move was very simple and looked ordinary. There was nothing surprising about it.
However, as the sword in his hand slashed across the sky, a destructive aura surged over. The world shook and space was torn apart. Even time was cut off by this sword.
Ryan's face instantly turned pale.
The war was over!
Emperor Osgoo's sword had devoured millions of orcs, elves, and dragons!
The humans had won this battle!
From then on, the Eastern Plains, the richest land on the continent, was occupied by humans for a total of 1,400 years!
……
Ryan's consciousness went black, and the scene changed, returning to reality.
After personally witnessing that terrifying sword strike from the sword stele, Ryan's face turned even paler, and cold sweat poured down.
This sword was not something that the current Ryan could understand!
This sword not only contained sword intent, but also time and space rules!
If Ryan wanted to break into the eighth level, he had to comprehend the sword intent of this sword!
This was an extremely difficult mission!
"Ancestor is indeed an expert who suppressed an era. That sword is really too powerful!”
Ryan sighed in his heart.
Ryan's heart palpitated as he recalled the sword strike from the first Emperor Osgood.
It looked like a simple sword, but its power could even tear space apart. It destroyed an area of space and devoured millions of lives.
Under that sword, Ryan felt like he was an ant-like existence, completely incomparable.
At the same time, another question arose in Ryan's mind.
If Ancestor and Teacher Dugu were to be compared, who would be stronger?
Remembering Dugu Qiubai's usual loneliness of having a rival in his life, Ryan became more and more curious about this question.
When he first met Dugu Qiubai, Ryan thought that he was on the same level as the Saint Laurent Empire's Royal Sword Master, Fan 9th Rank Expert Swordsman, Goosen.
After a week of interaction and understanding, and the haughty temperament that Dugu Qiubai inadvertently revealed, Ryan could conclude that his teacher was not someone that a mere 9th Rank Expert Swordsman could summarize!
Instead, it was very likely to be the legendary saint-tier!
Then, between him and his ancestor, who was stronger?
……
While Ryan was yearning, outside the Heavenly Trial Tower.
As time passed, the countless people who were waiting became more and more excited!
Their Prince Ryan had already stepped into the eighth level, but he had not come down for a long time.
What did this mean?
It meant that Prince Ryan was trying to break through to the ninth level!
They would charge into the area that only Sword Saint Cang Mu could enter for thousands of years!
Everyone looked nervously and expectantly at the Tower of Heavenly Trials in front of them. Would Prince Ryan make history?
