In the projection of the Primordial Tower, Chu Ming sat quietly beneath the void, constantly perfecting his Sword Technique of having a sword in heart but no sword in hand, his gaze becoming increasingly sharp.

"Alright, your time is up, you should enter the ninth level now!"

The cold voice of the Artifact Spirit came from the void.

"Hmm!"

Chu Ming nodded slightly, stood up lightly, his expression suddenly grew extremely serious. The black-robed swordsman on the ninth level was theoretically a level stronger than he was.

Boom!

The scene before him suddenly changed, darkness surrounded him, and a terrifying colorful river of stars appeared around Chu Ming, with meteors rising and falling, stretching endlessly.

Boom!

On a mottled meteor, a black-robed figure suddenly sprang up, a terrifying momentum swiftly swept around, the sword momentum shook the heavens, causing the stars to tremble, shattering the surrounding meteors, only the meteor beneath his feet remained intact.

Swoosh!

Ding!

Chu Ming's vision went dark, a terrifying black shadow rapidly approached him, sword momentum pressing, instinctively, he thrust his wooden sword forward, a series of sparks flew from the point of collision between the blades.

Boom!

Chu Ming's body was instantly blasted away, breaking into pieces, spitting out a mouthful of blood, his entire body appeared to have cracked.

"He's incredibly strong!"

Chu Ming was secretly shocked, his undying power quickly operated, repairing his body.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Two figures, one red and one black, collided rapidly in the air, countless sparks flying in all directions. The black-robed swordsman's sword strikes became increasingly fierce, almost immediately leaving countless wounds on Chu Ming's body!

In the face of danger, Chu Ming remained extremely calm, his brain working like a machine, rapidly calculating the black-robed swordsman's every move, looking for weaknesses. But the black-robed swordsman was already at a state equivalent to Chu Ming's perfect condition, making finding any flaws almost impossible.

Boom!

A mist of blood scattered across the starry sky, appearing extremely bleak. A drop of blood floated in the void, instantly turning into the likeness of Chu Ming, his wooden sword shooting out like a brilliant meteor, striking towards the black-robed swordsman.

Because of refining the Undying Tree, Chu Ming's blood rebirth required much less life force than others.

Boom!

At the critical moment, the black-robed swordsman extended his arm slightly, and with a cunning angle, deflected Chu Ming's wooden sword with a swift twist of his right hand.

Chu Ming's black hair fluttered, his red robe solemn, sword light flashing in his eyes, continuously retreating while fighting the black-robed swordsman.

The black-robed swordsman's sword had exceeded Chu Ming's level, not only continuous but also flowing seamlessly without any pauses, seeming to deliver a deadly strike the moment Chu Ming showed any sign of relaxation.

Boom!

"Dark Devouring!"

Chu Ming lightly brushed the wooden sword with the fingers of his left hand, a cold black sword light emerged from the void, like a terrifying giant mouth devouring everything between heaven and earth.

Boom!

"Dark Devouring!"

Chu Ming unleashed Dark Devouring, the black-robed swordsman also unleashed Dark Devouring with even greater, more terrifying might, like a black cloud covering the sky, turning the entire void into nothingness.

Puff...puff...puff...

Chu Ming's nerves stung, his entire body instantly shattered, flesh scattering.

Swoosh!

In the blink of an eye, Chu Ming's body recombined, transforming into countless phantoms, attacking the black-robed swordsman from all directions!

…

In a projection of the Primordial Tower, two red figures clashed terrifyingly, Feng Yuyan's figure was continuously blasted away, a trickle of blood flowing from the corner of her mouth. She was also on the ninth level of the Primordial Tower, facing an opponent a level stronger, she too was being beaten down.

The entire human race, at this moment, only had about a dozen people still in the Primordial Tower, the rest having left the Primordial Tower, but not immediately departing the Holy Tomb. After all, the Holy Tomb had more treasures than this place.

…

"I must find a way!"

Chu Ming thought to himself, quickly retreating, his gaze icy. At this moment, the black-robed swordsman took advantage of the gap, swiftly approaching Chu Ming, aiming to sever Chu Ming's right arm with a single strike, causing the void to tremble.

Slash!

A stream of blood sprayed, Chu Ming's right arm was directly blown off, the intense pain causing him to gasp in cold air, but a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.

With his left hand, he gently opened his mouth, as the black-robed swordsman paused, a seed rapidly approached him. From the seed, a terrifying sword momentum burst forth, almost sweeping across the entire starry sky.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Countless waves of light scattered, shaking the heavens, severing stars, fragmenting meteors, reducing the entire void to ruins.

Puff...puff...puff...

In mere moments at the center of the sword momentum, Chu Ming was killed five times. Without his blood rebirth, he would have had no chance of survival.

Sigh!

Chu Ming's soul power erupted, sweeping through the entire starry sky, searching for the black-robed swordsman. Although the Sword Dao Seed's power was terrifying, it was highly unlikely to kill the black-robed swordsman in one strike.

Boom!

A terrifying sword momentum, like a meteor cutting through, instantly tearing the void, a black-robed figure emerged from the void, standing tall.

Ding!

The wooden sword slashed, a sword light shot out. Chu Ming's gaze fell on the black-robed swordsman, joy appearing on his face. The black-robed swordsman was incredibly miserable, his entire body almost half destroyed, even revealing his constantly pulsing internal organs.

Boom!

Chu Ming swiftly struck, the severely injured black-robed swordsman no longer possessed his earlier might, practically being suppressed by Chu Ming's attacks, the sword momentum flying, severing stars.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The black-robed swordsman was continuously blasted away. Judging by the current situation, defeating the black-robed swordsman was only a matter of time.

"The Primordial Tower is only the first trial. Even if one passes the Primordial Tower, there are still the Hundred Lives of Mortal World to face. Who can endure this turmoil of hundred lives? Alas..."

The Artifact Spirit sighed. Having stayed in the Holy Tomb for countless epochs, he desperately wanted to leave, but there were so few prodigies who met his master's requirements.

"Perhaps I can give him a chance!"

The Artifact Spirit muttered to himself, no longer wanting to stay in the Holy Tomb.

"If he can pass the third trial, perhaps I should give him a chance!"

…

Puff!

A cold blade slid out from the chest of the black-robed swordsman. Under Chu Ming's fatal attack, the life force of the black-robed swordsman quickly ebbed away, his life breath plummeting to the lowest point in an instant.

"Sigh!"

Chu Ming exhaled lightly. In the battle with the black-robed swordsman, his body alone had been shattered eight times.
