Deciphering the Divine Will
In the void, golden divine swords fell down one after another. The sword light was as fast as a storm, and the vast sword momentum gathered into the shape of a huge mountain that fell down. Every divine sword contained the indestructible Sword Will of All Things, and its power was extremely shocking.
The valley was filled with cheers. Although Shou Wuque's Imperial Dao wasn't as profound as Feng Junfei's, his sword formation had won the recognition of all the overlords. They were all amazed.
At this moment, an intense pressure came from above Feng Junfei's head. He felt threatened. He looked up and saw endless sword light. Each divine sword was ferocious like a real Imperial weapon. No matter how profound his Imperial Dao cultivation was, he couldn't be unscathed after being struck by such a sword formation.
However, it was still within his tolerance range. The threat wasn't fatal.
Buzz!
The Great Dao wind rolled back like a dragon swinging its tail. It turned and rushed into the sky. At the same time, Feng Junfei's body spun rapidly like a giant spinning top. He swept out waves of majestic Imperial Will, which merged into the Great Dao storm. He hid in the center of the storm.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!
The sword light rained down. The giant peak sword formation pierced straight into the storm and slowly pressed forward. Countless golden divine swords were destroyed, broken, and destroyed by the Great Dao storm. However, there were still many sword shadows that pierced through Feng Junfei's body. They tore off pieces of his clothes and brought out streaks of blood. There were more and more streaks of blood along the way. Feng Junfei's injuries continued to increase.
However, the Heavenly Peak sword aura was soon exhausted. It was destroyed in the Great Dao storm. Feng Junfei's Imperial Dao was profound after all. He forcefully withstood the sword formation formed by the Sword Will of All Manifestations.
"The last sword."
The sword lotuses under Shou Wuque's feet closed up and wrapped him tightly. He turned into a beam of blinding golden light. As the sword aura was about to be exhausted, he suddenly shot out. Using his body as a sword, he stabbed at Feng Junfei, who was in the center of the storm.
Feng Junfei's Dao heart was disturbed by the Sword of Truth, and he was forcefully withstanding the Heavenly Peak sword formation. Suddenly, he felt a wisp of Sword Qi break into the storm. It was unprecedentedly strong. His heart skipped a beat. He tilted his head to the side and barely dodged it.
However, the Sword Qi brushed past his cheek and pierced one of his ears.
"Ah."
Feng Junfei howled in pain as he covered his broken ear with one hand. A terrifying gale erupted around him and scattered the remaining force of the Sky Mountain Sword Array. As the two Dao Auras filled the area, everyone saw the Wind Monarch reveal his true body. His clothes were tattered, and his noble and luxurious robes were hanging on his body. His hand was covering the side of his head, and there was a horrifying bloodstain between his fingers. His face was distorted, and there was a broken ear at his feet.
This …
Does this count as losing one's integrity in one's late years
"I admit defeat." Shou Wuque's sword pierced through the statue and returned to Makumonji's side, directly giving up.
"You …" Feng Junfei gritted his teeth. There was no one in front of him. His ear had been cut off by Shou Wuque's sword, but now, the other party had given up.
A hoarse voice came from his throat. The more he thought about it, the more humiliated he felt. Veins crawled up his neck, and he flew into a rage out of humiliation. He turned around and viciously slashed his sword behind him.
However, when Feng Junfei turned around, an extremely vast Sword Qi surged toward him. Almost as soon as Shou Wuque returned to Makumonji's side, his uncle immediately rushed forward and charged into the battle, taking over the challenge position.
"The Sword Sect Master of the Southern Region wants to see the Wind people's skills."
Makumonji roared. In the battle on the plains, Feng Gaishi had killed many elders and disciples of the Sword Sect. Now, the dignified leader of the Wind people was shamelessly attacking his nephew. This was simply intolerable.
Rumble!
The two Sword Qi collided, creating a terrifying shockwave. Makumonji did not give the Wind Monarch any chance to catch his breath. The Noble Sword in his hand flowed with intense Emperor's Light. He pressed his palm forward, and the Supreme Emperor's Sword flew out forcefully.
"Father, be careful."
Feng Gaishi trembled as he shouted, "Shameless! Shameless! Taking turns to fight. When the nephew is done, Uncle will take over."
"The Wind people of the Southern Region also know what shame is," Feng Qianli said mockingly. After bullying someone else's nephew, he did not allow his uncle to collect the debt.
Feng Junfei had asked for it by losing his ear.
"Break!"
Feng Junfei roared hoarsely. The Great Path around him was stirred up. The nine Emperor's Rings supported the Emperor's Soul, and he used offense as defense. A turbulent storm of Sword Will appeared in front of him. Another loud sound rang out, and the Noble Sword, which had been charging forward, was jolted back and landed in Makumonji's palm again.
However, Feng Junfei's throat was blocked, and he could not help but spit out a mouthful of blood. He stepped back slowly, and his expression was terrible.
Previously, he had escaped from the plain and encountered Yun Rou of the Phoenix Flower Island. His manhood had been mercilessly destroyed. He, the Emperor of the Wind people, had become a rootless eunuch. At that moment, one could imagine how Feng Junfei felt.
Now, he had just taken Shou Wuque's position. Dili had already been exhausted, and one of his ears had been chopped off by Shou Wuque. He was in an extremely bad mood.
Perhaps in terms of the Emperor's Dao, he wasn't any weaker than Track Cloud Muyun. In fact, he might even be able to suppress Track Cloud Muyun slightly. Although the suppression wasn't obvious, it wouldn't be easy for Track Cloud Muyun to defeat him.
Now, he had fought with others repeatedly, escaped for his life, was castrated, and had his ear chopped off. He was nervous and exhausted. In addition, he was in an extremely bad mood. When he faced Makumonji again, he could not gain any advantage. Instead, he was at a disadvantage.
However, Feng Junfei's ability to resist was also very strong. After being exhausted by Shou Wuque, he was still fighting fiercely. Makumonji had the upper hand and could not defeat him for the time being. If this continued, the two Emperor Lords would definitely perish.
"Enough." In the air, Zhan Lou uttered a dignified voice.
Makumonji and Feng Junfei stopped at the same time. They were panting madly, not because they were afraid of each other, but because they were afraid of Zhan Lou.
"There won't be a good result if you continue fighting. Emperor Feng has been exhausted. Even if he wins, it will be difficult for him to bear the will of the statue. Why don't you give the position to Sword Master Zhenji?" Zhan Lou said.
"Commander Lou, you can't do that." Feng Junfei raised his head. His heart was bleeding. After two battles, what was he?
"Okay." Zhan Lou's voice sank. Immediately, an irresistible Emperor's Aura descended and enveloped Feng Junfei's body.
Squeak!
Everyone heard the clear sound of bones cracking from Feng Junfei's body. Seeing him in unbearable pain, there was no more fighting spirit in his eyes. He immediately became dejected.
"Feng Junfei, Commander Lou's decision must be reasonable. Look at you now. How confident are you that you can pass the trial? If you fail the trial because of you, can you bear the responsibility?" Cen Gang threatened.
"I withdraw." Feng Junfei didn't have the strength to speak. He lowered his head and left the statue unwillingly.
Two Emperor Zhenji had spoken up to protect the Sword Sect's position. He was just a Dao Confirming Emperor Lord. How could he have the right to refute?
Even if he was unwilling, he had to accept it.
At the side, Feng Gaishi wanted to cry but had no tears.
"Sword Master Zhenji, after your uncle's battle, Dili has also been exhausted. You will defend the position again. If the other Emperor Lords aren't satisfied, they can still challenge." Zhan Lou spoke to the valley.
Many overlord experts looked at each other secretly. Zhan Lou had asked Shou Wuque to return to his position. Obviously, they admired him. How could they continue to challenge him? This was just an excuse. The Emperor Lords wouldn't take it seriously and stupidly offend Zhan Lou.
"I will try my best."
Shou Wuque looked up at the War God's carriage. He couldn't understand why Commander Lou, whom the Emperor Lords of the Five Realms feared, would take care of him. However, Shou Wuque wouldn't be grateful to him. After all, breaking the statue's defense line was also beneficial to the War God Hall.
"Go."
Makumonji patted Shou Wuque's shoulder and returned to the Sword Sect's team. He coldly glanced at Feng Junfei in the distance.
"Zhan Lou can see that you have a high chance of breaking the statue," Qin Hao transmitted.
"It's not because of him," Shou Wuque secretly replied. If the defense line wasn't broken, how could Qin Hao save Empress Yuwei, who was trapped in the Divine Palace?
The challenges continued, but no one found trouble with Shou Wuque anymore. Zhan Lou's words directly determined the position.
However, the competition for the other positions was very intense. It mainly focused on the Dao Confirming Realm.
No one would challenge Old Man Taia, Gu Che, and Zhu Mian.
Within the Emperor Lords, Qin Hao's name had spread throughout the Five Realms. When he was in the Dao Confirming Realm's eighth tier, he was able to fight the two Emperors alone. Many Emperor Lords in the valley secretly compared themselves and found that they were no match for Tribulation Sword Emperor.
The Sun God of the Blazing Sun Temple had proven his strength with his actions.
The Lord of Ancient Ape Island and the Lord of the Holy Light Temple were both renowned emperors of the East Continent. If the two of them failed to pass the test, almost all the emperors present would face failure as well. The various forces still trusted the Lord of Ancient Ape Island and the Lord of the Holy Light Temple, so they did not compete with them.
Within the Dao Confirming Realm, the competition was very intense.
Any one of the six Dao Confirming Realm candidates had to face many monstrous challenges.
However, Xiao Han, Qingzhi Han, Ning Tianxing, Jia Miao, and Luo Weng had all reached the peak of the Dao Confirming Realm's eighth tier. Their Dao Wills were unimaginably strong. Those who challenged them failed one after another. Ning Tianxing even accidentally killed two monstrous geniuses from the overlords. His methods were extremely bloody, and their souls were not recovered. This caused the two overlords to hate him.
But because of this, Ning Tianxing had completely secured his position. No one dared to challenge him again.
As the top Dao Proving Realm cultivators from various forces continued to lose, many experts understood that none of the five Dao Proving Realm cultivators were easy to deal with. Especially Xiao Han, Han Qingzhi, and Ning Tianxing, who were at the eighth stage of the Dao Proving Realm. Their strength was comparable to an Imperial Lord's, which shocked many Imperial Lords in the valley.
But there was also someone who was successfully kicked out. Jin Xu.
Jin Xu's position was taken by Bai Yuexuan. Just as Qin Hao had predicted, the other party sent out an elder comparable to Luo Weng, who easily replaced Jin Xu. Furthermore, Bai Yuexuan firmly occupied the position. No one could take it away from him.
Jin Chen was very angry, but there was nothing he could do. He knew that even if Bai Yuexuan did not kick Jin Xu out, other forces would do it. After all, Jin Xu was too weak to defend.
After a series of challenges, besides Emperor Ning Wuming and Jin Xu's position that was taken away, the fourteen candidates remained unchanged.
Now, it was harder than ascending to the heavens to seize another position.
Finally, the candidates were completely decided. No other forces made a move.
"The goal of the fourteen of us is to break through the formation. No one knows what will happen next. If no one has any objections, let's end the sparring here," Ning Tianxing said to the various forces in the valley.
After a fierce battle, the valley became very quiet. None of the forces said anything. It was considered that they had tacitly agreed to Ning Tianxing's words. It would be difficult to continue fighting. It was better to let these fourteen people make a move and see how they would break through the formation.
As for after breaking through, no one knew if there were other obstacles in front of the temple.
"Do it." A voice came from the Battle Tower with a strong commanding tone.
