"Boom!" Above the sky, the huge rock pressed down on the void, and a mighty rumbling sound came from the sky.
"W-what is that?" The crowd looked at the boulder, their voices trembling. They couldn't believe what they were seeing.
Nie Tian and the others had arrived as well. They looked at the boulder in astonishment.
Eyes as bright as torches, Nie Tian unleashed his soul awareness and discovered that the boulder was wreathed in raging sword intent. The surface of the boulder was engraved with very strange magical symbols that emanated a very mysterious aura.
The boulder was ten thousand meters long, and two thousand meters wide and tall. It was hard to imagine what kind of power it would take to make such a huge boulder fly through the air.
"Look! There's someone there! "Someone cried out when they saw someone on the boulder.
Nie Tian was stunned for a moment. Only then did he notice that there were actually dozens of swordsmen standing on top of the boulder. Moreover, their positions were very orderly, standing in important positions on the boulder. Every swordsman was releasing their sword intent with all their might. It was their sword intent that allowed the boulder to fly in the air.
"These swordsmen are so strong. They're all Paramount Gods." Nie Tian frowned when he realized that all of the swordsmen were Paramount Gods.
When he first entered the God Awakening Realm, the peak overgods were the paragons of the aristocratic families. At that time, he had thought that Paramount Gods were unreachable existences.
But now, he was strong enough to kill Paramount Gods in an instant, and most of the people he encountered were Paramount Gods.
Although they were both part of the Nine Realms, the difference between the God Awakening Realm and the Upper Three Realms was just too great. It was like the difference between the three thousand minor worlds and the Sumeru World.
"Is that the legendary Divine Martial Swordstone?" Gui Wucan seemed to have thought of something and couldn't help but exclaim.
"It should be the Divine Martial Sword Stone." Jian Jingyun's eyes shone as he nodded his head.
"Divine Martial Swordstone? What is it? "Nie Tian went blank for a moment before asking in astonishment.
"The Divine Martial Swordstone is the ultimate treasure of the Divine Martial Sword Pagoda. Rumor has it that it came from a saint in the ancient times. It contains a terrifying amount of saint power." Jian Jingyun looked at the giant stone in the sky and said, "Every time the Evil Edge Sword Seminar is held, the Divine Martial Sword Stone will be brought out. On one hand, it is to show the power of the Divine Martial Sword Pagoda to the world. On the other hand, it is used to test the participants of the Evil Edge Sword Seminar."
"I see." Nie Tian nodded and asked, "How does the Divine Martial Swordstone test the swordsmen?"
Jian Jingyun laughed and replied, "The Divine Martial Sword Stone will be placed in the sword formation. All the participants of the Evil Edge Sword Competition can use their sword intent to attack the Divine Martial Sword Stone. As long as they can leave a sword mark on the stone, they will pass. Otherwise, they will be eliminated."
"It's that easy!" After hearing Jian Jingyun's words, Gui Wukan couldn't help but let out a strange cry and said: "As long as a swordsman has a little bit of strength, they can destroy a mountain with a single sword strike. Leaving a sword mark on a rock, this kind of testing method is too simple. "
"You underestimate the Divine Martial Swordstone too much." Jian Jingyun glanced at Gui Wucan and smiled, "It's rumored that the Divine Martial Swordstone is a meteor from another world. It's extremely tough, and it's impossible for swordsmen below Overgod to leave a mark on it."
"What's even stranger is that there are mysterious sword inscriptions on the Divine Martial Swordstone. It's an extremely unique defence, and it's a test of the swordsman's sword intent. The swordsman's sword intent needs to be powerful enough to break through the defence of the inscriptions and leave a mark on the rock. "
"It's that strange?" Gui Wucan curled his lips as if he was in disbelief.
As Nie Tian and the others spoke, the Divine Martial Swordstone fell down. It just happened to land in a formation in the air, where it was fixed firmly in place. From afar, it seemed like a hovering mountain.
Everyone stared at the Divine Martial Swordstone. Their faces were strange and excited.
A while later, a black-robed old man appeared. He said with a deep voice, "Swordsmen, welcome to the Evil Edge Ocean."
The old man's voice was not loud, but it was loud and clear. Everyone could hear it clearly.
After that, the black-clothed old man chatted for a while before he started to introduce the process of the Evil Edge Sword Competition.
The entire competition was split into three parts: the test of the sword stone, the competition of swordsmen, and the competition of the Sword Chiefs.
The test of the sword stone was to first use the Divine Martial Swordstone to eliminate a portion of the swordsmen. The competition of the swordsmen was a battle of points between the participants to determine the top 16 swordsmen. The final competition of the Sword Chiefs was the pinnacle battle between the top 16 swordsmen.
"The test of the sword stone will begin soon. All participating swordsmen can attack the Divine Martial Swordstone. However, you must leave a mark on the sword stone in order to pass. Otherwise, you will be eliminated immediately. Now, let me give you a demonstration. "
As the black-robed old man spoke, he moved and came to the bottom of the Divine Martial Swordstone. His body moved slightly, and a sword intent whizzed out and hit the sword stone. A mark that was a few meters long appeared, but it disappeared in a flash.
After doing all that, the black-robed old man smiled and said, "As long as you can do that, you will pass and receive your duel token. Otherwise, you will fail and be eliminated immediately. Now, let's begin! "
"What's so difficult about that? Let me go first!" Before the black-robed old man finished his sentence, a voice was heard. Then, a figure dashed out and swung his sword. A sword shadow dashed towards the Divine Martial Swordstone in the air.
The sword shadow was as majestic as a mountain. This strike could at least destroy a small mountain.
The crowd stared at the Divine Martial Swordstone, curious about what would happen next.
Just as the sword shadow was about a hundred meters away from the Divine Martial Swordstone, something strange happened.
Boom! The sword shadow shook and suddenly collapsed. It turned into sword intent and was absorbed by the Divine Martial Swordstone.
"What, what's going on?" The sudden scene caused everyone to suck in a breath of cold air. They didn't know what was going on.
This person's sword shadow was very powerful. It actually collapsed before it could even get within a hundred meters of the Divine Martial Swordstone. This was too strange.
At this moment, the crowd finally understood how terrifying the sword intent that the black-robed old man casually swung was.
"So strange? I'll do it again! "That person was not convinced. His sword aura rose and he wanted to attack again.
"F * ck off!" However, at that moment, a thunderous voice rang out, and a sword will descended from the sky, directly descending on that person. Instantly, a blood-colored trail fell from the sky, smashing into the ground.
Gasp! Everyone was stunned and gasped in unison as they looked at the person who had attacked. It was the black-robed old man.
"I'll say it again. Everyone only has one chance. If you fail, you will be eliminated. If anyone dares to break the rules of the competition, this person will be the example! "The black-robed old man shouted and glanced at everyone with a murderous look.
Everyone was shocked. They didn't dare to underestimate the sword stone anymore.
Because of that person's failure, no one dared to step out and try. Everyone was watching.
"Isn't it just the Divine Martial Swordstone? Let me try. " Just then, an arrogant voice was heard. A figure appeared in mid-air with a faint smile on his face.
