The rows of soldier statues looked majestic from afar.
Duan Lingtian glanced at them and knew the number of these soldier statues. There were at least a thousand of them.
"Could it be that the test of the eighth checkpoint is to destroy them?"
With doubts in his heart, Duan Lingtian slowly approached the soldier phalanx in front of him. The phalanx formed by thousands of soldier statues gave Duan Lingtian an inexplicable sense of oppression.
Duan Lingtian did not know how to describe this feeling of oppression.
Gradually, the distance between Duan Lingtian and the soldier phalanx grew closer and closer …
Five hundred meters.
Three hundred meters.
One hundred meters!
Just when he was one hundred meters away from the soldier phalanx, Duan Lingtian seemed to have noticed something. He frowned slightly and stopped moving.
At the same time, Duan Lingtian clearly saw that the soldier phalanx a hundred meters away seemed to have come to life in an instant.
Chi! Chi! Chi!
…
Pa! Pa! Pa!
…
A crisp sound filled the vast underground palace in the blink of an eye. The 'stone skin' on the thousands of soldier statues began to fall off, revealing their true appearances.
Soldiers of flesh and blood appeared before Duan Lingtian's eyes one by one.
Of course, they only looked like flesh and blood. Their eyes were blank and lifeless. They did not look like living people at all.
"What's going on?"
Seeing this scene, Duan Lingtian was stunned. He did not expect these soldier statues to turn into real people.
Indeed, the thousands of soldiers standing one hundred meters away from Duan Lingtian looked like real people at first glance. Other than their lifeless eyes, they were no different from ordinary people.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
…
At this moment, a gust of chilly wind blew in the vast underground palace. The chilly wind was extremely strange. Even though Duan Lingtian was not a coward, he still felt a chill run down his spine.
"These soldiers …"
At the same time, when Duan Lingtian's gaze fell on the soldier phalanx again, he discovered that the originally lifeless eyes of the thousands of soldiers had now lit up with an eerie green light.
As their eyes glowed with green light, they were completely 'alive'.
Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump!
…
After coming back to life, the thousands of soldiers quickly moved and arranged themselves into a more orderly square formation. They were very self-aware and did not need anyone to command them.
"Kill!"
"Kill!!"
"Kill!"
…
After rearranging into a square formation, the thousands of soldiers cried out in unison. Their voices shook the sky and the sound waves squeezed the empty space, causing it to vibrate and form ripple-like ripples that spread out.
At this moment, even Duan Lingtian felt his eardrums vibrate and the blood in his body churn.
However, he wasn't in the mood to pay attention to that now.
This was because he realized that when the thousands of soldiers shouted, their gazes were also locked onto him.
Even though Duan Lingtian had experienced a lot of ups and downs along the way, he still couldn't help but feel a little scared when he was stared at by thousands of pairs of glowing green eyes.
"Kill!!"
Another cry rang out in unison. In the next instant, the thousands of soldiers made their move at the same time and charged toward Duan Lingtian.
Several hundred cavalrymen took the lead and charged toward Duan Lingtian.
As for the infantrymen and spearmen, they leaped into the air and flew toward him.
The sabers and spears in their hands were filled with vast True Origin as they shot out like a dragon out of its cave. Their target was Duan Lingtian.
Several hundred infantrymen and several hundred spearmen were equivalent to several hundred sabers and several hundred spears. They traversed the sky and charged toward Duan Lingtian.
The thousands of soldiers' eyes glowed with green light so no one could see the changes in their eyes.
However, based on their current stance, it was obvious they would not give up until they killed Duan Lingtian.
Soon after, the thousands of soldiers surrounded Duan Lingtian and charged toward Duan Lingtian.
"They're all at the peak of the Pristine Saint Stage!"
At the same time, Duan Lingtian who had activated his Divine Eye and extended his Divine Consciousness out quickly discovered the cultivation base of the thousands of soldiers around him. All of them were at the peak of the Pristine Saint Stage without exception.
In the beginning, Duan Lingtian did not pay much attention to these soldiers who were only at the peak of the Pristine Saint Stage.
However, horror dawned on Duan Lingtian when his Colossal Sword Bell took on the combined attack of more than thirty soldiers. "How's this possible?! Aren't their cultivation bases only at the peak of the Pristine Saint Stage? "
The Colossal Sword Bell that he had activated with all his might almost crumbled under the combined attack of more than thirty soldiers.
"If there were ten more soldiers joining forces, my Colossal Sword Bell would've crumbled earlier!"
The moment Duan Lingtian thought of this, he began to panic. He realized he had underestimated his opponent.
After taking a deep breath, Duan Lingtian moved and dodged the attacks of the group of soldiers. He tried his best to calm himself down.
After calming down, Duan Lingtian observed the thousands of soldiers who surrounded him. He noticed that although the soldiers' movements seemed chaotic, there was a certain mystery behind it.
"The formation they're in is not an ordinary formation! Their formation seems to be able to link the strength of the people around them to advance and retreat at the same time! "
"I knew it! As the eighth and second to last trial in the Abyssal Swamp, how could it be so simple? These thousands of soldiers are much more difficult to deal with compared to the group of wild beasts in the first trial! "
Although the group of wild beasts in the first trial had a tacit understanding with each other, they were not organized at all.
Although the thousands of soldiers in front of him were only at the peak of the Pristine Saint Stage, each of their movements contained the mystery of the Formation. It was as though they were always in a group with their companions.
Since these soldiers were irrational, there was no issue of trust in their 'cooperation'.
Due to this reason, they were even more terrifying when they joined forces.
"If the group of wild beasts in the first trial encountered these soldiers, I'm afraid these soldiers would only need to charge a few times to annihilate the group of wild beasts!"
Duan Lingtian did not doubt this at all.
At this moment, Duan Lingtian no longer dared to be careless. He no longer dared to underestimate the group of soldiers in front of him even though each of them only had a cultivation base at the peak of the Pristine Saint Stage.
Duan Lingtian would be able to easily deal with Martial Cultivators at the peak of the Pristine Saint Stage who were in a state of disunity even if there were 2,000 or 3,000 of them.
However, in the face of these 1,000 soldiers who had joined forces, Duan Lingtian could only choose to dodge and look for an opportunity to attack.
"Calm down … Calm down …"
Duan Lingtian knew very well that he would only have a chance to defeat the 1,000 soldiers in front of him if he remained calm.
Put aside Duan Lingtian's past life, even in this life, he had also fought his way here from a remote place on the Mortal Continent, the Cloud Continent.
Due to this reason, his battle experience was definitely not something the younger generation who was born and raised in the Dao Martial Saint Land could compare to.
Due to this reason, he quickly found a way to deal with the 1,000 soldiers in the eighth trial.
Calm down.
Defeat them one by one!
Of course, while those two points sounded simple, they were actually extremely difficult to accomplish.
Time continued to pass by quietly.
Duan Lingtian's body moved like the wind as he dodged the attacks of the 1,000 soldiers. He secretly activated his Strange Pupil in an attempt to find the weakness of these soldiers in front of him.
Once he found a weakness, he would attack at lightning speed and not give his opponent a chance to catch his breath.
However, it was also thanks to Duan Lingtian's strength that was comparable to an Early Eminent Saint Stage Martial Cultivator that he could rely on the strength of the Sun True Origin. Otherwise, even a Martial Cultivator at the peak of the Refined Saint Stage would not be able to dodge the attacks of the 1,000 soldiers in front of him.
Finally, after half an hour, Duan Lingtian discovered the weakness of an independent small square formation.
There were more than 30 people in this small square formation.
The attack that Duan Ling Tian had suffered earlier was a surprise attack from such a small square formation.
In fact, the weakness of this small square formation was not obvious at all. If it was not for the fact that Duan Lingtian had activated his Strange Pupil, he would not have discovered it.
"I'll start with all of you!"
Duan Lingtian's eyes gleamed coldly. After being chased for half an hour without being able to fight back, he was already furious. Now that he had discovered the weakness of the small square formation, it was only natural that he would not let it go.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
…
With a raise of his hand, Duan Lingtian's Sun True Origin surged out and transformed into a three-foot-long blade.
The three-foot-long blade emitted a golden luster. From afar, it looked like a scorching sun in the sky.
At this moment, this scorching sun was tightly held in Duan Lingtian's hand.
Whoosh!
The weakness of the small square formation grew bigger and bigger under the gaze of Duan Lingtian's Strange Pupil. At the same time, the Sun True Origin on his body also increased greatly.
Whoosh!
Immediately after, Duan Lingtian rushed into the small square formation at an extremely fast speed, exposing his entire body to the 30 soldiers in the small square formation.
His actions naturally attracted the attention of over 30 soldiers, and he became the target of public criticism.
"Kill!"
The 30 soldiers shouted loudly. The swords and spears in their hands swept out like lightning. Although they came from different directions, when they struck out, it seemed like they were striking the same spot.
The attacks of more than thirty soldiers seemed to be perfectly fused together in a mysterious way.
Duan Lingtian, who was trapped in the small square formation, faced the attacks of the 30 soldiers, his expression did not change. The three-foot-long blade in his hand glowed with sword light and shot out at an even faster speed, directly piercing between the eyebrows of one of the soldiers.
This soldier was also the one who had discovered the weakness of the small square formation.
Puchi!
Where the sword light passed, a hideous bloody hole appeared between the soldier's eyebrows.
In the next moment, the expected bloody scene did not appear. The soldier who had his eyebrows pierced and the seven-foot-long spear in his hand were vaporized at the same time.
The combined attacks of the 30 soldiers were greatly weakened after killing one soldier.
Duan Lingtian raised the Taiyan Sword Bell and completely blocked the attacks. He did not encounter too much pressure.
Because of the death of that soldier, the remaining group of soldiers showed even more flaws.
Duan Lingtian did not even need to use his Strange Pupil to discover these weaknesses.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
