After annihilating a small square formation, Duan Lingtian retreated in time and gave way to the other square formations of various sizes that rushed over to support him.
Then, Duan Lingtian began to use his speed advantage to wander around the square formations of various sizes. He could not interfere, and these soldiers could not touch him as well.
Duan Lingtian's current speed was comparable to an Early Eminent Saint Stage Martial Cultivator. These soldiers could not catch up to him at all.
Under such circumstances, Duan Lingtian repeated his old trick and destroyed the remaining square formations one by one.
After spending half a day, he finally destroyed all the square formations.
"I've finally passed."
Although Duan Lingtian had successfully passed the eighth checkpoint, he was sweating profusely. His tensed mind had also relaxed.
Earlier, when faced with the attacks of the square formations of various sizes, he did not dare to be distracted at all.
"Huff ~ ~"
"Huff ~ ~ Huff ~ ~ Huff ~ ~"
Duan Ling Tian bent down and placed his hands on his knees as he gasped for breath. His face was drenched in sweat, and it fell like rain.
At this moment, he could finally heave a sigh of relief.
Ever since he entered the Abyssal Swamp until now, this was the first time Duan Lingtian was physically and mentally exhausted. For this reason, he planned to continue to the next checkpoint after resting for a day and two nights.
In fact, after he passed the eighth checkpoint, the entrance to the ninth checkpoint had already appeared.
"After I passed the first checkpoint, the voice that reminded me said he'll wait for me at the last checkpoint … In other words, he'll be waiting for me at the ninth checkpoint! Who's the owner of that voice? "
Duan Lingtian's heart was filled with curiosity. At the same time, he also stepped into the entrance to the ninth checkpoint.
The entrance to the ninth checkpoint was a circle of light.
When Duan Ling Tian walked in, it was as though he had touched something. His surroundings began to undergo a drastic change.
The vast underground palace gradually disappeared in front of Duan Lingtian's eyes. Duan Lingtian could see everything clearly. "Sure enough, everything is a mirror image in the illusory matrix … I wonder what I will face in the ninth level?"
After the underground palace disappeared before Duan Lingtian's eyes, he was surrounded by a vast expanse of white.
Finally, after a period of time, Duan Lingtian discovered that he had appeared in a vast battle arena. Around the battle arena were rows of spectator seats. However, there was not a single person in the spectator seats.
"This is the ninth checkpoint?"
Looking at the arena beneath his feet, Duan Lingtian revealed a look of surprise. "Who am I supposed to fight with?"
Since there was an arena, Duan Lingtian could naturally guess what kind of test he would face in the ninth checkpoint. It would definitely give him an opponent, and then let him fight with his opponent.
"Could it be the owner of that old voice?"
Even Duan Lingtian did not know why such a thought suddenly emerged in his mind.
Once the thought arose, it was difficult to suppress it.
The reason why such a thought emerged was that after he passed the first checkpoint, the voice that came into his ear once said that it would wait for him at the last checkpoint.
"Although I don't know who he is … Since he can send me a voice transmission like that, he must not be an ordinary person! If my opponent is him, I'm afraid I'll be doomed. "
Thinking of this, Duan Lingtian had a bitter smile on his face.
Although his current strength was comparable to the Early Great Sage Realm Martial Cultivator, it was still not enough if he encountered the mysterious old man.
While Duan Ling Tian was smiling wryly, the space in front of him began to tremble before it quickly tore open.
Immediately afterward, an old cameraman walked out of the gap in the void, stood in the air, and confronted Duan Lingtian.
This was an old man with white hair and a ruddy complexion. He wore a loose robe, but it could not hide his sturdy body.
The old man was nearly two meters tall. As burly as he was, he stood there like a small tower.
At this moment, the old man was looking at Duan Lingtian with a smile on his face. His pair of turbid eyes quickly lit up.
"Little fellow, you're very good to be able to make it here."
Just when Duan Lingtian noticed the old man, the old man spoke. His voice was exactly the same as the voice that transmitted to Duan Lingtian previously. Therefore, Duan Lingtian was completely certain that the old man in front of him was the old man who reminded him previously.
"Senior."
Facing the old man, Duan Lingtian did not dare to be negligent. Since the old man could appear here, even if it was just a mirror image in the Illusory Formation, it was still worthy of his respect.
How could an old man who appeared in the form of a mirror image be an ordinary person?
However, the old man seemed to be a little slow. He did not react to Duan Lingtian's greeting. Instead, he continued to say, "I told you earlier that I'll wait for you at the last checkpoint … Now, you're finally here. As long as you can defeat me, my Elementary Devouring Tactic will be yours.
If you can't defeat me, then I can only say that you're not fated with the Elementary Devouring Tactic. "
The old man continued to say.
At this moment, Duan Lingtian also realized that although the old man in front of him seemed to be sentient, he was actually acting according to a template.
This could be seen from the fact that he did not seem to be able to see Duan Lingtian's greeting.
The old man's purpose of existence was to test Duan Lingtian. He did not possess sentience so he could not communicate with Duan Lingtian.
Due to this reason, the old man did not intentionally give in to Duan Lingtian.
'The Elementary Devouring Tactic he mentioned … Could it be the Divine Ability recorded in the Divine Ability Relic in the Abyssal Swamp?'
Duan Lingtian's breathing quickened when he thought about the old man's words.
Why did he have to go through so much trouble along the way?
It was all for the sake of the Divine Ability!
Moreover, the difficulty along the way was completely incomparable to the Divine Ability Relic he had been to before.
Due to this reason, he was 100% certain the Divine Ability recorded in this Divine Ability Relic was definitely not an ordinary Divine Ability.
Naturally, all of this was merely Duan Lingtian's speculation.
Currently, Duan Lingtian was unaware that the Divine Ability Relic he was exploring, the Abyssal Swamp, was the most mysterious Divine Ability Relic in the Mystical Sky Mansion's Saint Martial Secret Zone. It was also known as the Number One Divine Ability Relic.
Although the people in the Mystical Sky Mansion did not know what kind of Divine Ability was recorded in this Divine Ability Relic, based on its difficulty, the Divine Ability recorded in it was definitely not simple. Due to this reason, it was also known as the Number One Divine Ability.
'Defeat him?'
When Duan Lingtian regained his senses and looked at the old man again, he felt as though a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head, extinguishing all of his enthusiasm.
Could he defeat this old man?
Even if this old man was just a Mirror Image, he was definitely not someone he could defeat.
At this moment, Duan Lingtian's heart was filled with bitterness.
Earlier, he had activated his Divine Eye to probe the old man, but when his Divine Consciousness came into contact with the old man, it was as though it had sunk into the sea. There was no response at all.
Based on this, one could see how profound the old man's cultivation base was.
However, when the old man spoke again, the bitterness in Duan Lingtian's heart disappeared.
"I'll suppress and maintain my cultivation base at the same level as yours. Since your cultivation base is at the Early Refined Saint Stage, I'll fight you with my cultivation base at the Early Refined Saint Stage. However, other than maintaining my cultivation base at the same level as yours, I'll also use the Elementary Devouring Tactic! “
These were the old man's words.
Early Refined Saint Stage?
Fight him with his cultivation base at the Early Refined Saint Stage?
Upon hearing the old man's words, Duan Lingtian was amused. He almost laughed out loud.
'Wait a minute! If he can imitate the Sun True Origin, his true strength would be comparable to an Early Eminent Saint Stage Martial Cultivator! Coupled with the Divine Ability, the Elementary Devouring Tactic, it's impossible for me to be a match for him! '
The moment Duan Lingtian thought of this, the joy that had just risen in his heart vanished completely.
However, in the next moment, when he saw the True Origin on the surface of the old man's body, the fire of hope reignited in his heart.
This was because the True Origin on the surface of the old man's body was not the Sun True Origin. It was the True Origin of an ordinary Early Refined Saint Stage powerhouse.
'If it's an ordinary person, it's impossible for him to be a match for an opponent with the same cultivation base who can cast the Elementary Devouring Tactic. However, this is nothing to me!'
Duan Lingtian believed even if the Elementary Devouring Tactic the old man cast was a high-grade Divine Ability, it was impossible for the old man's True Origin at the Early Eminent Saint Stage to be a match for him whose strength was comparable to an Early Eminent Saint Stage Martial Cultivator.
His strength did not rely much on his cultivation base. Instead, it relied more on the uniqueness of the Sun True Origin.
The Sun True Origin at the Early Refined Saint Stage was comparable to the True Origin of an ordinary Early Eminent Saint Stage powerhouse.
The True Origin of an ordinary Early Refined Saint Stage powerhouse would only be crushed when faced with the Sun True Origin that had the same cultivation base.
"It seems that this so-called final hurdle is nothing to me."
Duan Lingtian was in a good mood. Initially, he thought the final trial would be extremely difficult. Who knew things would take such a turn for the better?
If it was an ordinary person who came here and encountered such a situation, perhaps, he would have a headache.
However, Duan Lingtian did not have a headache at all. Instead, he was secretly delighted.
"Although his strength is lower than mine by an entire stage, he knows how to use the Elementary Devouring Tactic! The Elementary Devouring Tactic is most likely a high-grade Divine Ability. Moreover, it's very likely that it's more powerful than ordinary high-grade Divine Abilities! Due to this reason, I can't be careless even if I'm 90% confident I'll win this battle. '
The ninth trial before him was also the final trial in the Abyssal Swamp. He could not afford to make any mistakes.
For this reason, Duan Lingtian was extremely solemn. He did not dare to underestimate his opponent at all.
If he were to fail miserably, who would he cry to?
After a while, the True Origin on the old man's body skyrocketed and spread out.
In just a blink of an eye, he made his move. With just a flash, he charged toward Duan Lingtian menacingly.
"What a fast speed!"
Duan Lingtian was shocked. The speed the old man displayed was much faster than an ordinary Early Refined Saint Stage Martial Cultivator. In fact, it was not much slower than an Intermediate Refined Saint Stage Martial Cultivator.
"His movement technique is very unusual."
Soon after, Duan Lingtian discovered this.
