Lu Xuan slowly lifted the Masked Chen Sword. As he swung the sword, traces of moonlight gradually appeared. For a moment, the surroundings seemed to have turned into the night sky. Only this trace of moonlight could be seen. A dream-like full moon appeared.
As Lu Xuan roared, the full moon instantly became incomplete. How strong was the power of the waning moon?!
A beam of sword light containing the power of waning moon shot out. Facing such a powerful attack from Lu Xuan, Feng Chen didn't dare to be the slightest bit negligent. With a roar of rage, he instantly struck out with his spear. However, this time around, his spear was like a dragon, yet it didn't achieve the effect he had expected. A crisp sound rang out as the tip of the spear collided with the tip of the sword. Lu Xuan didn't move an inch, but Feng Chen was instantly forced back several meters.
Lu Xuan was unforgiving. Now that he had already comprehended the Time Law, there was no longer any meaning in continuing to battle with Feng Chen. It was time to pass the fifth stage.
"Glorious Sun!" As Lu Xuan's voice rang out, he pointed his sword towards the heavens. A dazzling ray of sunlight appeared, and the Masked Chen Sword in his hand seemed to have transformed into an incomparably blazing sun. He abruptly swung his sword downwards, and the Glorious Sun shot towards Feng Chen.
Feng Chen's countenance turned solemn. He swept his sword horizontally as he roared, "New Moon Sweep!"
An astral spear that seemed capable of slicing through everything erupted forth. However, when faced against Lu Xuan's Glorious Sun, his strength seemed to be lacking. The boundless astral spear was directly engulfed by the Glorious Sun, and after that, Feng Chen's entire body was engulfed as well, vanishing without a trace.
For a time, the entire space fell into silence. Ye Tian's voice slowly rang out, "Fifth stage, passed. Being able to defeat Feng Chen within three moves proves that your current strength isn't inferior to mine back then. However, in a true battle, you won't have the chance to comprehend your insights. "
"For the sixth stage, your opponent is an expert from the Devil Race. The Devil Race is also a race blessed by the heavens. They are born with great strength, and after cultivating, they can automatically form devil inscriptions in their bodies. The body-refining divine inscriptions of human cultivators are derived from the devil inscriptions of the Devil Race. The opponent you will face is a Three Star Devil Emperor, which is equivalent to a human genius at the third level of the Grand Void Stage.
Hearing this, Lu Xuan thought in his heart. Sure enough, the fourth trial was against the Soul Race, to temper his soul force. The fifth trial was against the Absolute Void Realm geniuses, to help him comprehend the power of law. The sixth trial was against the Demon Race. Unless his body reached a certain level of strength, he would definitely not be a match for this Three Star Demon Emperor.
At this moment, a handsome male devil appeared in front of Lu Xuan. He had purple hair, purple eyes, and a tall stature. He was about a head taller than Lu Xuan. What surprised Lu Xuan was that he didn't have any horns on his head. It seemed that there were many different races in the Devil Race, just like how the Soul Race had human and beast forms.
"Blazing Imperial Fist!" The male devil shouted in a low voice. A ball of intense flames appeared on his fist. Immediately after, he dashed towards Lu Xuan at an incredible speed and punched towards Lu Xuan's face.
Sensing the speed of the male devil, Lu Xuan couldn't help but be shocked. What kind of powerful body was this? How could it be able to explode with such speed just by relying on the strength of its body? It was almost on par with his Blitz Thunder Escape.
With no time to dodge, Lu Xuan clenched his fists tightly and struck out with a loud shout, "Golden Flame Explosion!"
Boom!
A huge explosion sounded out, as if the entire space was shaking.
When facing the devil's fist, Lu Xuan only felt an unbearable scorching force wrapping around his hands. After that, an even more violent force blasted into his arms. The power of his Golden Flame Explosion seemed to be completely useless.
With a puff, Lu Xuan directly spat out a mouthful of blood and retreated. The shock in his heart was simply indescribable. Was this the strength of a Three Star Devil Emperor? This kind of strength was completely above his own. Compared to him, Lu Xuan felt like he was a three-year-old child, while this devil was a grown man.
The Devil Race was worthy of being one of the top races in the Heaven Domain. This kind of unique strength was unimaginably strong. Even if they were in the same realm, Lu Xuan believed that the Devil Race was far superior to the Human Race.
Seeing that Lu Xuan was unexpectedly still alive, the devil pressed forward again. He struck out with both fists and shouted, "Explosive Flame Strike!"
Seeing this, Lu Xuan hurriedly waved his hand, and several Heart Calming Lightning appeared. They uniformly met the devil's attack. Whether it was Lu Xuan's attack or the devil's attack, both were extremely violent moves. For a moment, the trial space shook even more violently. However, in the end, Lu Xuan's strength was still inferior to the devil's. Although the Heart Calming Lightning had offset part of the power, the remaining power of the Flame Explosion swept towards him. Once again, Lu Xuan was blasted away by the explosive force. At the same time, a trace of blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth.
"I can only try my last move." Lu Xuan thought to himself. Once again, he held the Masked Dust Sword in his hand, and then its weight rapidly increased.
This time, Lu Xuan didn't let the devil attack first. Instead, he brandished the Masked Dust Sword and slashed downwards. This was his self-created sword art — Mountain River Picking Strength!
The Masked Dust Sword slashed down with endless power. The power had already reached the level that Lu Xuan could unleash. Facing such a powerful devil, he didn't dare to hold back.
"Sovereign Fire Force!" The devil suddenly clenched his fist, and a surge of raging flames surged out. An extremely large amount of power carried the power of raging flames, and fearlessly met Lu Xuan's sword. The devil race was different from the soul race. The soul race liked to be sneaky, but the devil race revered power the most. Facing a challenge like Lu Xuan's, they definitely wouldn't show any weakness.
Facing the devil's strong resistance, Lu Xuan found that his sword couldn't slash downwards in midair. Then, the devil let out a roar and suddenly exerted force. He actually changed from defense to offense. A wave of power flowed through the sword into Lu Xuan's body. A wave of pain spread out, and Lu Xuan felt intense pain in his internal organs. There was a sweet taste in his throat, and he wanted to spit out blood.
At this moment, his vision darkened, and he discovered that he was already outside the passageway of the test. Clearly, he had lost in the sixth stage.
Even though he was already in a safe place, thinking back to the strength of the devil race, Lu Xuan couldn't help but feel his heart palpitate. A Three Star Devil Emperor already had such strength. How strong would the devil race be exactly?
He couldn't help but think back to the description of a supreme physique refiner in the Taiyi Origin Art. After one's physique refinement reached the grand completion stage, a single punch could shatter the heavens, and a single kick could split the earth. From the looks of it now, it wasn't a lie. A Devil Emperor was already so powerful. According to Ye Tian, there were Godking level experts in the devil race. An expert of that level only needed to stomp their feet to create a crack in the entire Heavenly Sword Continent.
Even his strongest sword strike wasn't able to injure that devil. At this moment, Lu Xuan had already given up on the idea of continuing on. Unless he could successfully condense a four star divine imprint, and his strength was comparable to a Absolute Void Realm expert, he would never be able to defeat this Three Star Soul Emperor with just his physique refinement.
Although he didn't pass the sixth stage, Lu Xuan's rewards were already extremely great. After defeating Li Wei, the Soul Race, and Feng Chen, he had obtained three more chances to enter the Book Depository Pavilion. Not only that, he had obtained quite a bit of soul force from the Soul Race, strengthening his own soul lake. Furthermore, during the battle with Feng Chen, he had comprehended the Law of Time, which made the three moves of the Starry Sky Sword Art extremely powerful.
Turning around and leaving the Battle God Hall, Lu Xuan was prepared to properly digest the rewards he had gained during this period of time. Although he had been constantly comprehending during the battle with Feng Chen, that was only the comprehension of the Law of Time. Other than that, combat experience was also an extremely important part of it. What's more, he could feel that his eighth Yuan Dan had grown by quite a bit during this period of time. He might even have a chance to break through to the ninth level of the Origin Realm in this Heaven Emperor Palace.
Returning to the Dao Comprehension Pavilion, Little Tanuki was actually still in a deep sleep. Lu Xuan couldn't help but admire Little Tanuki. He had already been in this Heaven Emperor Palace for close to three months. During this period, he had spent almost a month comprehending the Talisman Dao, cultivating his soul arts, practicing the Starry Sky Sword Art, and another month battling with Feng Chen.
During these three months, Little Tanuki had been sleeping the entire time. Especially after consuming that Demon Sovereign's demon dan, she had slept for two months straight.
"Eh!" Lu Xuan observed Little Tanuki's condition and noticed that there was an additional furry ball behind Little Tanuki's butt. When he took a closer look, it wasn't a furry ball. It was actually a newly grown tail!
Seeing this third tail, Lu Xuan instantly exclaimed in delight, "Little Tanuki actually broke through to the tier 3 bloodline. It seems like that demon dan has brought about great benefits."
Since Little Tanuki was born, it had only been two years. In such a short period of time, she had consecutively broken through to the tier 3 bloodline. Even if she was from the powerful Shadow Raccoon Race, this speed was still extremely shocking.
Lu Xuan was overjoyed as he thought that it wouldn't be long before Little Tanuki woke up. The power of the demon dan should be almost completely digested.
Immediately, he sat down beside Little Tanuki and threw out a few pieces of supreme-grade essence stones. He set up a simple essence gathering array and held two supreme-grade essence stones in his hands as he began to cultivate. The Taiyi Regression Technique slowly circulated. While absorbing essence energy, Lu Xuan sorted out his gains from the past three months.
After about five days, Little Tanuki suddenly moved. Then, she opened her sleepy eyes and stretched her waist in a very carefree manner. Immediately, she seemed to have noticed something strange. She turned her head and saw that there was indeed an additional tail behind her butt. She immediately cried and jumped in excitement. With a shake of her body, three identical Little Tanuki suddenly appeared.
She was about to tell Lu Xuan this good news, but she realized that Lu Xuan had been concentrating on cultivating. Helpless, Little Tanuki could only play with herself.
Not long after, a wave of essence energy suddenly emanated from Lu Xuan's body and slowly spread out. Little Tanuki was shocked. The three figures instantly merged into one and looked at Lu Xuan.
Seeing that Lu Xuan slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of pure essence energy, Little Tanuki grinned and jumped onto Lu Xuan's shoulder. Her tail kept sweeping and she said, "Xuan, you broke through again?"
