A Profound Ice Demon quickly formed. Lu Xuan sensed its aura and found that it was indeed only at the Second Tier of the Spirit Refinement Realm. It seemed that the test left by the Ice Phoenix really only looked at potential. If a warrior at the Sixth Tier of the Spirit Refinement Realm came here, then he would have to face a Profound Ice Demon at the Sixth Tier.
Not daring to waste any time, Lu Xuan quickly moved forward and swung the Broken Ice Sword. Dragon Soars in the Sky!
Dragon Soars in the Sky was the move that Lu Xuan used the most. Although it was not the strongest move, it was very easy to use. Its speed and lethality were not weak, and it did not consume much yuan power. It was the best for attacking.
The Frost Demon roared and charged at Lu Xuan without dodging at all. It suddenly threw a punch, and a strong gust of wind suddenly burst out. A powerful force swept towards Lu Xuan.
However, no matter how strong it was, it was still only at the Second Tier of the Spirit Refinement Realm. Lu Xuan could even kill a Profound Ice Demon at the Seventh Tier of the Spirit Refinement Realm, so why would he be afraid of it?
With a swish, the Profound Ice Demon's punch was instantly broken by Lu Xuan and one of its arms was chopped off.
"Eh, you do have some skill." Lu Xuan was slightly surprised to see that he had chopped off the Profound Ice Demon's arm. A normal Profound Ice Demon at the Second Tier of the Spirit Refinement Realm would not have a solid body, but this guy had a solid body. Its strength was obviously higher than a normal Profound Ice Demon. After all, this was the Ice Phoenix's inheritance test.
If an ordinary warrior were to face off against a Mystical Ice Demon of the same level, coupled with their tough bodies, it would probably be somewhat difficult for them to do so. However, it was nothing for Lu Xuan. His level had always been his weakness, but now, it had become his advantage.
Without hesitation, Lu Xuan stepped forward and swung his sword again. This time, it was aimed at its head. Although the Profound Ice Demon's body was relatively strong, it could not be compared to a Profound Ice Demon at the Seventh Tier of the Spirit Refinement Realm.
The sword light easily pierced through its head, killing it in one strike. First test, passed!
"Very good, you passed the first test." Bing Ling's voice sounded again, "Although you won easily, you shouldn't be too proud. Most of the warriors who came here can pass the first round. Consider it as an opportunity for those who came here."
To be able to enter this place, luck and strength were both indispensable. In any case, the reward for passing the first trial was only a drop of ordinary Ice Phoenix Blood, so it could be considered as a free gift.
Lu Xuan nodded his head and strode forward towards the stone door in front of him. Next up was the second test. According to Bing Ling, the person who came last time had only passed the first test and was stopped at the second test. It was likely that the second test would be much more difficult than the first.
However, no matter what, he had to pass at least three trials to obtain that drop of Ice Phoenix Blood Essence in order to save Xia Chenxi. If he couldn't obtain the Ice Phoenix Blood Essence here, it would be much more difficult to find the elixir to cure Xia Chenxi in the future.
The second door was also easily pushed open. This time, what appeared in front of Lu Xuan was not a stone room, but a long corridor. This corridor was quite long. Lu Xuan roughly estimated that it was at least a hundred feet long.
"This hundred zhang corridor is the second test. Once the test begins, countless Profound Ice Demons will appear in this corridor. What you have to do is to kill your way through and not leave a single one alive. However, you don't have much time. You only have the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. Within that time, all the Profound Ice Demons must be eliminated. You also have to reach the end of the corridor." Bing Ling calmly explained the content of the second test.
Lu Xuan gulped slightly. The time it took for an incense stick to burn was more than enough for him to walk through the entire corridor. However, he had to kill his way through without leaving any survivors. That was a very difficult task. Furthermore, it was impossible for him to fly through the corridor with his movement skills.
"Are you ready?" Bing Ling's voice sounded again, not giving Lu Xuan any time to think.
"Wait, one more question. How strong are these Mysterious Ice Demons?"
"They are a small realm higher than the first test. The next Mysterious Ice Demons will all be in the third layer of the Spirit Refinement Realm." Bing Ling quickly answered.
So they are only in the third layer of the Spirit Refinement Realm. Lu Xuan let out a long breath. Luckily, it did not take much effort to deal with Mysterious Ice Demons in the third layer of the Spirit Refinement Realm. It seemed like there was still hope for him to pass the test.
No wonder Bing Ling said that the person who came last time was not able to pass the second test. If he was in the sixth layer of the Spirit Refinement Realm, then he would have to face countless Mysterious Ice Demons in the seventh layer of the Spirit Refinement Realm. It would be very difficult. Even if Xiao Zhaohong, Han Feng or the others were here, they would not be able to pass. Only someone like Lu Xuan, who had a heaven-defying battle prowess that could kill enemies a few layers above him, would have a chance of passing the test.
Without saying anything else, Lu Xuan took a deep breath and answered with a determined look, "I'm ready!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the familiar formation appeared again. More ice elemental Yuan Qi was attracted over. In an instant, countless figures began to appear in the hundred zhang corridor.
Looking at the densely packed figures of the Mysterious Ice Demons, even though Lu Xuan was confident, he still felt his scalp tingle. At a rough glance, there were at least three hundred of them!
Even if they were only in the third layer of the Spirit Refinement Realm, the combined strength of three hundred Mysterious Ice Demons was not to be underestimated. Apart from the hundred zhang corridor, where else in the entire Mysterious Ice Secret Realm could one see such a spectacular scene?
As the countless Mysterious Ice Demons solidified, Bing Ling's voice rang out, "The test begins. The time limit of one incense stick will start now!"
As soon as the words came out, Lu Xuan did not waste any time. One incense stick's time might not sound short, but in reality, it was only a hundred breaths' time. On average, Lu Xuan would advance one zhang in every breath's time.
As soon as Lu Xuan stepped into the hundred zhang corridor, the nearby Mysterious Ice Demons immediately swarmed over. At least seven or eight Mysterious Ice Demons pounced at him at the same time.
"Wind Riding Art!"
With a thought, Lu Xuan instantly activated the Wind Riding Art. He dodged the attacks of the Mysterious Ice Demons and flew straight ahead.
However, the Mysterious Ice Demons behind him did not give up. They turned around and continued to charge at Lu Xuan. As Lu Xuan moved forward, the number of Mysterious Ice Demons around him increased. In the blink of an eye, Lu Xuan had charged nearly ten zhang forward. There were already more than twenty Mysterious Ice Demons around him.
Not daring to advance any further, Lu Xuan's figure came to an abrupt stop. If he continued forward, he would be surrounded by hundreds of Mysterious Ice Demons. Even Lu Xuan would not be able to handle it.
"Dragon Battling in the Wild!"
Lu Xuan bellowed as the Dragon Battling in the Wild of the Seven Swords of Dragon Transformation was unleashed. Lu Xuan seemed to have split into several clones in an instant, unleashing several flashes of the sword.
"Chi, chi, chi …"
Without the slightest deviation, every sword strike hit the head of a Mysterious Ice Demon. The sword strike that contained the sword intent of the Great Accomplishment Stage instantly destroyed the consciousness of the Mysterious Ice Demons. The bodies of the Mysterious Ice Demons that were hit instantly dissipated into yuan energy.
Lu Xuan's incomparably accurate sword strike was the result of his practice of the Blink Sword Art. The Blink Sword Art could be used in the blink of an eye.
After one strike, Lu Xuan did not pay any attention to it. With a turn of his body, he struck out with another sword strike.
"Time Riding Six Dragons!"
Six rays of sword light shot out at the same time towards six Mysterious Ice Demons in front of him. The Mysterious Ice Demons that were attacked immediately dissipated. Another six Mysterious Ice Demons were killed!
With two consecutive strikes, the Mysterious Ice Demons around Lu Xuan were reduced by more than half. This was all thanks to his outstanding lethality. He could even kill a Mysterious Ice Demon in the fourth level of the Spirit Refinement Realm, let alone a Mysterious Ice Demon in the third level.
"Divine Dragon Tail Whip!"
The Shattered Ice Sword abruptly swept out like the tail of a divine dragon. With a powerful attack, the remaining Mysterious Ice Demons were once again annihilated. In an instant, nearly twenty Mysterious Ice Demons were either killed or injured, leaving only two that escaped the net.
Without wasting yuan energy, Lu Xuan flew up and casually struck out with two sword strikes. The last two Mysterious Ice Demons were also killed.
Bing Ling, who had been observing in the dark, could not help but nod slightly when she saw Lu Xuan take out so many Mystical Ice Demons so decisively. Lu Xuan had used every single one of his attacks perfectly. Every single one of his attacks had hit its target and were fatal.
After killing this wave of Mysterious Ice Demons, Lu Xuan did not dare to stay any longer. This was only a distance of three zhang, which was only one-thirtieth of the hundred zhang corridor. There was still a long way to go.
At that moment, Lu Xuan used the same trick again. He used the Wind Riding Art to float forward again. After attracting a wave of Mysterious Ice Demons, he killed them again. This way, he could save the most time and fully utilize his lethality. If he killed them one by one, he would only be halfway through when the time it takes for a joss stick to burn would have passed.
"It's too exhausting." Halfway through, Lu Xuan could not help but say to himself. Although he tried his best to conserve his yuan energy, using the Seven Dragon Transformation Swords continuously still consumed a lot of yuan energy.
This was his disadvantage. Although it was easy to kill the Mysterious Ice Demons, he was only at the Second Tier of the Spirit Refinement Realm. The density of his yuan energy could not be compared to a martial artist at the Sixth Tier of the Spirit Refinement Realm.
Fortunately, the Mysterious Ice Demons that were killed all turned into yuan energy and dispersed into the hundred zhang corridor, causing the yuan energy there to be extremely dense. The Taiyi Origin Skill in Lu Xuan's body automatically circulated and continuously absorbed the yuan energy from the surroundings. This was the only way he could replenish his energy to a certain extent. Kill!
Kill! Kill!
Kill! Lu Xuan simply forgot about everything as he continuously advanced and killed his enemies. There was only one thought in his mind: he had to pass through this corridor within the time it takes for a joss stick to burn!
The yuan energy in his body was rapidly depleting. Although the Taiyi Origin Skill's recovery speed was fast, how could it withstand such an intense consumption?
Fifty zhang, sixty zhang, seventy zhang …
Under the obstruction of countless Mysterious Ice Demons, Lu Xuan moved forward bit by bit. The time it took for a joss stick to burn also gradually shortened. From a hundred breaths, to fifty breaths, to thirty breaths …
One by one, the Mystical Ice Demons were killed and dissipated. Lu Xuan did not know how much time had passed. He could not even remember how many Mystical Ice Demons he had killed. When the Origin Power in his body was almost exhausted, he finally saw the stone door in front of him. It was the stone door that led to the third stage.
