High up in the sky, the sword turned into a ray of light. Like an arrow released from a bow, it headed straight for the Acheron's Monument.
Retch! The shadow of the sword landed. Like a clay ox entering the sea, it sank into the monument.
Everyone's eyes were heated as they stared at the Acheron's Monument. However, the monument did not react at all and did not make a single sound.
"No reaction?" Nie Tian frowned, finding it hard to believe.
To know that the person who attacked was a swordsman of the Inverse Sword Level. To be able to reach this level meant that his talent in swordsmanship was not bad.
Such a person was unable to trigger the resonance of the Acheron's Monument. How could everyone not be surprised?
"How is this possible?" The person who attacked was stunned. Then, he realized what was going on and screamed.
Then, he attacked a few more times. However, every attack was the same as before. He did not trigger any reaction from the Acheron's Monument.
"This is impossible!" It was obvious that the person was furious. He growled and the sword in his body surged. He wanted to attack the Acheron's Monument with all his might.
But in the next moment, he felt a force that surged like an ocean press down upon him, and it directly crushed his Sword Intent. Moreover, his body trembled while a mouthful of blood sprayed from his mouth.
"You have failed. Leave this place." High up in the sky, the Human Emperor's cold voice was heard. It was filled with dominance that could not be disobeyed.
The person did not want to admit defeat, but he did not dare to act presumptuously anymore. His silhouette flashed and he left through the Acheron's Gate not far away.
"Next." The Human Emperor's face was cold. He glanced at everyone and spoke.
Everyone stared at the Acheron's Monument and many people began to hesitate.
"This monument is so strange. That person has already reached the Inverse Sword Level and yet he cannot trigger the monument's resonance."
"I think the monument is strange. I am afraid that the Human Emperor has done something to it and it cannot be triggered."
"Let's wait and see. There is no rush."
The crowd was talking and some people were uncontrollably retreating.
"Let me!" Just then, a clear voice was heard. Then, a young swordsman appeared. He carried a long green sword on his back and looked extremely sharp.
He did not hesitate at all. He did not even draw his sword. Instead, he released a wave of sword will toward the Acheron's Tablet.
"Buzz!" The next moment, when the Sword Will landed on the Acheron's Tablet, a booming sound that sounded like a great bell rang out, shaking the clouds.
"This …" Everyone's eyes trembled violently as they stood rooted to the ground, thinking that they had misheard.
This young swordsman was clearly only at the level of Sword Calamity. How could he so easily trigger the Acheron Sword Chime?
Nie Tian's lips curled into a smile as he mumbled, "Looks like this stone tablet is indeed extraordinary. It can accurately judge a swordsman's talent in Sword Will."
The young swordsman's strength was indeed far from that person's, but his sword intent was much stronger than that person's.
Just like what the Human Emperor had said, the Acheron's Monument tested the swordsman's Sword Will aptitude, not the swordsman's ability.
"You have passed." The Human Emperor looked at the swordsman and nodded slightly.
"Thank you, Lord Human Emperor." The swordsman bowed and retreated to the side.
With this person's success, everyone became more active and began one test after another.
Half a day later, half of the people had completed the test.
The Acheron's Monument had a high requirement for Sword Will. Among the 10,000 swordsman who took the test, less than 10% of them passed.
Among those who passed the test, there was someone with a high talent in Sword Will. He even triggered the second resonance of the Acheron's Monument. When he swung his sword, there were two chimes.
"It's him!" Just then, Nie Tian saw a familiar figure. It was the young Human Emperor, Lin Fan. His eyes lit up.
He wanted to see how strong the young Human Emperor's Sword Will was.
Lin Fan stood in the air coldly. The Sword Will around him surged and suddenly disappeared into the Acheron's Monument.
Hum! Immediately, the Acheron's Monument reacted. It let out a clear chime that pierced through the clouds and cracked rocks.
"What a clean chime!" Nie Tian's expression changed slightly and he was shocked.
The previous swordsman triggered the Acheron's Resonance. Most of the chimes were roaring, not as clear as Lin Fan's.
This undoubtedly meant that Lin Fan's Sword Will was purer than the others.
Hum! Then, the second chime was heard. It was much longer than the previous one and it sounded like a huge bell.
"Impressive!" Nie Tian thought was shocked and he couldn't help but exclaim.
Just these two chimes were enough to prove that Lin Fan's Sword Will was far superior to the others. He definitely had the best talent.
Everyone was also shocked. The way they looked at Lin Fan changed. They were both envious and fearful.
Hum! However, at this moment, the Acheron's Monument shook and let out a third chime. It was even more powerful than the second chime. The chime lingered in the air for a long time.
"This …" Everyone couldn't help but gasp. Their expressions were dull and they were completely speechless.
Previously, the swordsman with the best Sword Will could only trigger the second resonance. However, Lin Fan triggered the third resonance. This was terrifying.
If Lin Fan was far superior to the other swordsmen, he was still at the same level. Now, he was beyond the others and stood alone at a higher level.
"He has the Heaven Level Sword Will. No wonder he could become the young Human Emperor." Yinfeng Wuwo looked at Lin Fan and exclaimed.
"Heaven Level Sword Will?" Nie Tian frowned and was confused.
"The Acheron's Resonance. The first chime is the chime of a human. It can trigger the Human Level Sword Will. The second chime is the chime of the earth. It can trigger the Earth Level Sword Will. The third chime is the chime of the sky. It can trigger the Heaven Level Sword Will. " Yinfeng Wuwo's eyes darkened. He explained, "I thought that the young Human Emperor's Sword Will should be below the Human Emperor's. Now it seems that he is more terrifying than the Human Emperor! "
Nie Tian's eyes narrowed. He asked, "Did the Human Emperor only have the Earth Level Sword Will?"
Yinfeng Wuwo shook his head and said, "The Human Emperor also triggered the chime of the sky. However, the chime of the sword was much weaker than that of the young Human Emperor. I speculate that the young Human Emperor's Sword Will is comparable to the Yang Spirit. "
"This …" Nie Tian's face stiffened, and he was at a loss for words.
Lin Fan did not have the Innate Sword Embryo, but his Sword Will was comparable to the Yang Spirit. It showed how terrifying his talent was.
Nie Tian's Sword Will was inferior to that of Yinfeng Wuwo. How could he use the Yang Spirit?
"Nie Tian, go and have a try." Yinfeng Wuwo looked at Nie Tian. His eyes were full of expectation.
He did not expect Nie Tian to surpass Lin Fan, but he could not be too far behind.
"Okay." Nie Tian nodded slightly. He was ready to have the test.
However, before he moved, a crimson sword radiance appeared in the sky. It was like a flame and disappeared into the Acheron's Stele.
"Xue'er!" Nie Tian's eyes trembled. He immediately recognized that the Sword Will came from Lenghuang Jixue.
In the void, Lenghuang Jixue stood like an iceberg. His delicate face was like an ice sculpture, waiting quietly.
