Xu Nian and the others walked to the third level of the Inheritance Hall and were imdiately startled by the sight before them.
There was actually a person sitting in the third level of the Inheritance Hall.
However, they soon breathed a sigh of relief.
Because this person was not a real living person, but a tal puppet.
If it were a living person, it would truly be terrifying, after all, this Sage Sect was an ancient sect.
If there was soone here, how many tens of thousands of years would they have lived?
Even an Earth Immortal expert couldn’t live for so long!
Xu Nian and the others examined the tal puppet before them and discovered that the tal used to create this puppet seed very peculiar.
The entire body was like silver, emitting a tallic sheen.
They hadn’t seen it before, but just from the luster, one could tell this tal was extrely hard.
Moreover, on the surface of this tal puppet were intricate and mystical array pattern designs.
Even Xu Nian, a top-grade array master, couldn’t decipher them.
"Buzz!"
The tal puppet suddenly opened its eyes, its pair of eyes emanating a dazzling glow, as if it had co to life.
Xu Nian and the others’ faces changed instantly, this puppet was actually alive.
Indeed, the puppet turned its head toward Xu Nian and spoke its first words: "Examiner, welco to the third level of the Holy Temple, are you here to take the Heavenly-Level trial?"
Xu Nian was slightly taken aback, this puppet could actually speak?
And it knew he was the examiner?
It seed this puppet was used by the Sage Sect for trials.
"What is the Heavenly-Level trial?" Xu Nian asked.
"Defeat !" the tal puppet replied.
Xu Nian’s eyes suddenly beca sharp, as he had already guessed, this Heavenly-Level trial was related to this tal puppet.
However, the stele in front of the hall previously stated that no one had ever passed the Heavenly-Level trial, which ant the puppet’s strength must be extrely formidable.
All around, the crowd also had solemn expressions, feeling the oppressive presence this tal puppet brought to them.
"What is your strength level?" Xu Nian continued to ask.
"My strength is the sa as yours, all my power sources, including profound arguntation comprehension, are copied from the examiner, but my physical body is forged from immortal-level tal, Ling Xue platinum, as hard as a mid-grade immortal artifact," the tal puppet said.
Xu Nian’s face instantly turned dark.
How on earth am I supposed to fight this?
Having the sa strength and comprehension, while its physical body is forged from mid-grade immortal artifact tal, it’s practically unbeatable, fighting it ans certain defeat for ?
Li Tiangang and Liu Bai Ru, hearing this, were also dumbfounded.
No wonder no one could pass this Heavenly-Level trial, turns out it’s an impossible trial.
"How can one be considered to have defeated you? Surely not by dismbering you?" Xu Nian asked helplessly after a mont.
"No need, just knock out of this circle to win, likewise if the examiner goes out of the circle, it counts as a loss, the number of trials is unlimited!" the tal puppet answered.
Xu Nian instantly understood the trial rules.
If one truly needed to dismber this tal puppet, unless the examiner held a divine artifact, how many people could defeat a tal puppet forged from mid-grade immortal artifact tal?
Of course, even then, this trial is extrely challenging.
Fortunately, the trial does not limit the number of attempts, he has plenty of ti to fight.
"Alright, I’ll take the trial!" Xu Nian said, and then he walked toward the battle circle.
This battle circle is about a hundred ters in diater, which is enough for the two of them to fight, the surrounding walls and floors are reinforced with formations, no matter how intense their battle is, it cannot damage the building.
"Xu Nian, be careful!" Liu Bai Ru imdiately cautioned.
Xu Nian nodded and leaped into the circle.
"Buzz!"
As soon as Xu Nian entered the circle, the tal puppet’s gaze instantly beca fierce.
It stomped on the ground, rushing forward rapidly.
Xu Nian only felt a gust of wind coming toward him, his hair standing on end.
Without hesitation, black scale armor erged.
"Buzz!"
An iron fist ca towards him.
Xu Nian crossed his arms to block.
"Boom!"
A loud explosion burst out.
The next mont, Xu Nian’s entire body flew backward instantly.
"Bang!"
Xu Nian’s entire body slamd into the wall, spewing blood from his mouth.
"Xu Nian!"
i Ji and the others suddenly cried out in shock, not expecting Xu Nian to be defeated so easily.
"Cough, cough!"
Xu Nian coughed up two mouthfuls of blood, looking at the bloody, mangled black scale armor on his arm, his face showing a dreadful expression.
Just now, the power of that punch was too great, and it employed the fourth-level profound arguntation of the Earth Attribute Gravity Space.
When the fist struck him, Xu Nian felt as if he was being hit by a giant mountain, his whole body experiencing an unprecedented force impact.
This force enlarged from a point through the arm to his entire body, directly damaging all his bones.
"So strong, the Heavenly Heavy Finger has been used to such an extent, it truly has mastered all my power, plus its body forged from mid-grade immortal artifact tal need not bear any counter-shock force, one punch is more powerful than mine," Xu Nian thought to himself.
The strength of this tal puppet exceeded his expectations.
At this mont, the tal puppet felt to him like a fortified version of himself.
"Are you alright?" i Ji stepped forward and asked.
"I’m fine, just a bit hurt. It seems this Heavenly Level assessnt will take a lot of ti," Xu Nian said.
"It’s nothing serious, if worst cos to the worst, we’ll just fight our way out," i Ji comforted.
Xu Nian smiled but said nothing more.
Instead, he sat down cross-legged to heal his injuries, while also contemplating how to defeat this tal Puppet.
When Xu Nian left the circle, the tal Puppet naturally returned to its original position.
It only made a move when soone entered the circle.
Monts later, when Xu Nian’s injuries were almost healed, he leaped into the circle again.
The tal Puppet attacked once more.
This ti, Xu Nian used Instant Teleportation to evade.
However, unexpectedly, the tal Puppet also possessed the ability to Instant Teleport.
The mont Xu Nian teleported, the tal Puppet followed suit.
A punch landed directly on Xu Nian’s abdon.
"Boom!"
Xu Nian’s abdon exploded, a bloody ss, and he was sent flying again.
This ti, Xu Nian was hurt even worse, nearly losing half of his body.
The onlookers were horrified, all shocked by the tal Puppet’s ferocious combat power.
Xu Nian took a Pill to heal his body.
Then he started battling again, but the result was the sa, getting brutally beaten by the tal Puppet.
Xu Nian couldn’t even withstand two moves from the tal Puppet, being knocked out every ti, heavily wounded.
Once, he almost had his head smashed by the tal Puppet, but luckily Xu Nian reacted in ti to dodge.
This way, Xu Nian was repeatedly repelled and continued fighting, all day long, fighting hundreds of battles.
On the side, Liu Bai Ru and i Ji watched with pale faces, imnsely shocked inside.
Even Li Tiangang was deeply impressed by Xu Nian’s determination.
Almost every ti, he had to risk being seriously injured or even losing his life.
This kind of perseverance isn’t sothing an ordinary cultivator can possess.
Geniuses aren’t scary, what’s scary is this kind of fearless, madly determined genius.
Li Anshan finally understood why his father was disappointed in him, and without hesitation, he sat down cross-legged to start cultivating hard.
i Ji, too, planned to break through to the Earth Immortal Realm once they got out.
Eventually, even Li Tiangang and Liu Bai Ru were inspired to start cultivating.
Xu Nian was risking his life for them; what excuse did they have to rely entirely on soone else while they slacked off?
Thus, the entire hall was left with only Shi Guangxu wandering around.
In the end, Shi Guangxu couldn’t withstand the boredom and began to cultivate as well.
With that, the entire hall entered a particular state.
Xu Nian ignored them, still desperately searching for battles with the tal Puppet.
He realized that even though he hadn’t defeated the Puppet, his strength was increasing rapidly through continuous fighting.
...
While Xu Nian was frantically challenging the tal Puppet, the Divine Demon Avatar arrived at the Denor Emperor’s hall.
Denor Emperor sat on a high throne, exuding a powerful imperial aura.
At this mont, besides the Denor Emperor, there were two other young n in the hall.
These two young n were arrogant, both Cultivation at Earth Immortal Peak.
Compared to Xu Nian’s Middle-stage Gang Immortal, they were obviously two levels higher.
Seeing Xu Nian approaching, one smiled at Xu Nian, while the other was cold and disdainful.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!" Xu Nian bowed respectfully.
"You’re here! Let introduce you; these two are the elite talents of our Denor Empire who will also join you in participating in the Immortal Order Competition," said the Denor Emperor.
"Hello, my na is Yang Dong, also from the Blue Gold Army. I’ve heard of your deeds and longed to et you, but there hadn’t been a chance until now," the youth who had smiled at Xu Nian said proactively.
Xu Nian nodded in response to Yang Dong with a smile.
The other cold youth snorted disdainfully and said, "Hmph, can soone at the Middle-stage Gang Immortal also attend the Immortal Order Competition? Kid, don’t disgrace our Denor Empire."
Xu Nian frowned slightly, a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes.
Why did this person have such a strong hostility towards him when they’d never t?
"Don’t worry about him; that’s just how he is. His na is Situ Jue, the heir of the Imperial Situ Family. He’s hostile because you took his brother’s spot. Originally, this competition was ant for both brothers, but now you’ve beco an unexpected addition, so naturally, he bears hostility towards you. But he’s not a bad person," Yang Dong patted Xu Nian’s shoulder and said.
"No worries!" Xu Nian smiled and nodded.
As Yang Dong said, if Situ Jue truly harbored malicious intention, he wouldn’t express it in front of the Denor Emperor.
This showed that Situ Jue’s personality was really just that straightforward.
"Haha, now that you’ve been introduced, I won’t say much more. Situ Jue, Xu Nian’s slot was approved by . If you have any complaints, you’re welco to tell . However, I believe Xu Nian will use his strength to win you over," the Denor Emperor said.
"Since the Emperor says so, I request a fight with him. If he can defeat , I will naturally be convinced. If he can’t, then I request you reconsider," Situ Jue still said with dissatisfaction.
The Denor Emperor furrowed his brows slightly, but did not reprimand him.
After all, Situ Jue’s character had always been like this.
So, the Denor Emperor turned his gaze to Xu Nian, seemingly seeking his opinion.
Xu Nian chuckled wryly, then his eyes fird, and he spoke, "Since Brother Situ wants a spar with , I’ll naturally oblige. However, re conviction is not enough. A spar should have stakes, shouldn’t it?"
Upon hearing this, the Denor Emperor was initially stunned, then burst into laughter.
Indeed, none of them are easy characters!
