CHAPTER 532: CHAPTER 532 LEVEL 9

Ling Chen’s mind moved, and a surge of Spiritual Power emerged from his fingertip.

Staring at this Spiritual Power, Ling Chen carefully sensed it for a long while before exclaiming with a face full of surprise: "Has my Night Moon Saint Body finally evolved completely?"

Although he possesses a Sacred Body,

his Spiritual Power did not reach the level it should have for a Sacred Body.

A possessor of a Sacred Body generally has Spiritual Power three levels higher than their cultivation.

However, his Spiritual Power was always just over two levels higher, never reaching three.

Even when he advanced to the high stage of the Primordial Pill Realm, his Spiritual Power did not exceed three levels above his cultivation.

But now, as he advanced to the later stages of the eighth level of the Primordial Pill Realm, his Spiritual Power had finally reached the might that a Sacred Body should possess!

That is to say, from now on, he is truly a genuine possessor of a Sacred Body!

"Logically speaking, my Night Moon Saint Body is now complete, so why doesn’t it have any secret techniques?"

Ling Chen wondered.

Even the top Super Spiritual Bodies among Spiritual Bodies carry some secret techniques.

Not to mention a Sacred Body.

However, his Night Moon Saint Body did not possess any secret techniques.

Instead, his Sunlight Holy Body possessed three secret techniques: Nine-Star Seal, Crescent Moon Seal, and Great Sun Seal.

"Forget it, let’s continue with the challenges!"

Ling Chen shook his head.

Thinking about these now is meaningless.

Before long, Ling Chen arrived at the eighth floor.

At this moment, a Guardian was already waiting for him here.

Also a young man in a black robe, in the late ninth stage of the Primordial Pill Realm.

"Young Master Ling!"

The young man in the black robe saluted him.

"What’s going on?"

Ling Chen was instantly puzzled.

The Guardian was saluting him?

Seeing this, the young man in the black robe explained: "This is at the request of Lord Yan Huang."

Ling Chen then understood.

"Young Master Ling, my cultivation is at the late ninth stage, and I possess the Sword Body Realm!"

The young man in the black robe smiled and said: "Please enlighten me, Young Master!"

"Sword Body Realm in the late ninth stage?"

Ling Chen’s brows slightly furrowed.

He felt a bit odd.

This opponent seemed to be determined based on his strength.

As soon as he revealed his Sword Body Realm, this challenge’s Guardian immediately possessed such strength.

It seems that this time, he couldn’t reveal all his strength right from the start!

"Young Master Ling, be careful!"

The young man in the black robe gave a slight smile, a Longsword emerged in his hand, and he burst towards Ling Chen.

Unlike previous Guardians who launched long-range attacks, he relied on the speed of the Sword Body Realm to engage Ling Chen in close combat.

"Good!"

Ling Chen nodded.

He had already made a plan in his mind.

This time, he would take his time.

If it were before, he might not have been confident in defeating this person.

But now, with his cultivation upgraded to the late stages of the eighth level and his Night Moon Saint Body evolved to its complete state, his Spiritual Power had already surpassed that of his opponent.

Although it was just a slight surpassing, it was enough to decide the victory or defeat.

"Boom boom boom..."

The two of them wielded their swords and fought furiously in the air.

With the advantage in Spiritual Power, Ling Chen gained some leverage with every collision.

As time passed, the young man in the black robe steadily lost ground.

Soon, Ling Chen forced him to the edge of the inner wall of the Treasure Tower.

However, the young man in the black robe was not human but condensed from Spiritual Energy.

He did not fear injury at all.

For the time being, Ling Chen could not do anything to him.

He could only attack repeatedly.

"Do I need to use all my strength?"

Ling Chen was somewhat hesitant.

Without showing his strength, based on the current situation, he could not defeat this person.

But he feared that revealing his strength would make the next floor’s Guardian even more terrifying.

He wouldn’t be able to pass the next challenge.

In that case, he might miss the opportunity for royal fortunes.

"Let’s hold on a bit longer!"

Eventually, Ling Chen made a decision.

A full hour later, Ling Chen almost depleted all the Spiritual Power in his Dantian, and the young man in the black robe finally conceded.

Ling Chen also took a deep breath of relief.

After absorbing this person’s Spiritual Power, although Ling Chen’s cultivation did not have a breakthrough, he reached the peak of the late eighth level of the Primordial Pill Realm, not far from the ninth level.

After Ling Chen refined this person’s King Spiritual Weapon, he then stepped into the last level of the Treasure Tower.

Next comes his final test.

Whether he can pass this test will likely depend on this battle.

The ninth level.

Ling Chen surveyed his surroundings, finding no one else.

After waiting for half an hour, movement finally stirred at the center of the ninth level, as a figure slowly emerged.

"Another one at the ninth tier of the Primordial Pill Realm?"

A trace of surprise flashed in Ling Chen’s eyes.

Previously, he hadn’t fully displayed his strength, precisely to make his opponent on this level weaker.

Now, it seemed everything was as he expected.

"Young Master Ling, I am the guardian of the ninth level."

The cloaked young man bowed slightly to Ling Chen.

Ling Chen nodded, smiling, "Shall we start?"

"Just a moment."

The cloaked youth shook his head, "This level’s rule is different from the previous eight levels. Success isn’t determined by winning or losing the battle, but rather you must withstand my three attacks!"

"Really?"

Ling Chen’s eyes brightened, "Sounds good!"

This was even better.

He didn’t need to defeat the opponent.

Even if he could fight to a draw, that would suffice.

"Moreover, there’s another rule that you cannot dodge using movement techniques."

The cloaked youth said.

From Ling Chen’s previous performance, Emperor Yan had already gauged his strength.

Having seen Ling Chen’s talent, she naturally didn’t want Ling Chen to be eliminated.

After all, this test was specially designed for Ling Chen.

If it were a typical test, Ling Chen would have passed with ease.

"No problem."

Ling Chen smiled.

"Good, then prepare yourself, and tell me when you’re ready!"

The cloaked youth smiled.

"I’m ready, let’s begin!"

Ling Chen said.

"Alright!"

The cloaked youth nodded.

Following this, Spiritual Power began to converge on the longsword in his hand.

"Hmm?"

Ling Chen suddenly changed his expression.

Because he sensed that this person’s Spiritual Power was one tier stronger than his.

"Is this the power of a Sacred Body?"

Ling Chen asked.

"Yes!"

The cloaked youth nodded.

"Understood."

Ling Chen nodded.

This person was also of the Sacred Body, with a cultivation level one tier higher than his, hence naturally his Spiritual Power was also stronger.

Fortunately, he hadn’t yet used his Undying Star Body.

Otherwise, this opponent would really possibly be a Palace Mansion Realm King, right?

"Be careful!"

The cloaked youth warned, as a surge of Sword Qi erupted from the longsword, exploding towards Ling Chen.

"Boom!"

With a thought, Ling Chen stimulated his Spiritual Power to the maximum.

Under the cover of Black Spiritual Power, tiny specks of pale blue starlight gradually started to emerge.

It was indeed the Undying Star Body!

"Kill!"

Ling Chen roared, both hands gripping the great sword tightly, infusing frenzied Spiritual Power into it, then slashing towards the incoming Sword Qi!

"Boom!"

The great sword, imbued with Sword Qi, suddenly chopped down.

A thunderous noise erupted, and Ling Chen’s form was sent flying.

Although he had used the Undying Star Body, it was merely comparable to the sixth tier level of the Primordial Pill Realm.

Both parties’ Spiritual Power had reached the level of the Palace Mansion Realm.

Furthermore, they were both wielding King Spiritual Weapons.

How astonishing was the power?

"So weak?"

In the distance, a figure gradually appeared.

It was Lord Yan Huang.

Her purpose in setting up this test was to examine the secret techniques of Ling Chen’s Sacred Body.

However, from the looks of it, this was clearly a Body Refining Technique.

Not the secret technique inherent to a Sacred Body.
