Many had only heard stories of the legend of the Ten Emotions Sword Supre. In those stories, she was always compared to Lord Genesis.
Many saw that as plain silliness and unfair treatnt, one that wasn't needed, not when one of them went ahead to reach the peak, and the other didn't.
However, to be asured against soone like Lord Genesis, it might an that the person in question was no simple person.
Naturally, as everyone watched Inaya battle the Tiger Beast, they all could tell that perhaps the stories didn't do her justice enough.
Her figure blurred and appeared three ters away from Black Fang.
Her sword moved with a precise arc, one that caused the air to tremble. Just as the sword arc was about to land on the tiger, however, it moved, turning into pure darkness, allowing the sword arc to pass through its intangible form.
The mont the sword arc passed, it reford, and its tail whipped through the air, followed by a claw strike. Three arcs shot toward Inaya with deadly intent.
She retreated and, using her left hand, ford a seal while striking with her right hand. The arcs were severed completely, and in their place, a blue energy burned in the air.
As for the tail attack, Inaya evaded and moved further back.
It had already been four hours since the battle started, but aside from the first cut Inaya landed, she hadn't had any opportunity to leave a wound of that magnitude again. Even so, she had held on quite steadily, her expression calm as the battle raged on.
A few more hours passed, and aside from constant roars and sword flashes, nobody seed to be on the winning side. That was until the twelfth hour ca.
Inaya distanced herself from the tiger and paused, her gaze narrowing at its sheer mountainous bulk. The tiger also seed to have had enough, so it moved back and also gazed at Inaya.
"I have to give it to you, human. You have lasted longer than I had hoped, even succeeding in injuring . However, your mont of reign is over. The next move I will make will be the end of the battle."
Already, people were fascinated by how fierce the battle was, yet none ca close to dying. Hearing the tiger speak, they both could tell the end of the battle was here.
Inaya smiled behind her mask and used her finger to trace along the blade of her sword.
"It had been billions of years since I last touched my sword. Though I am still the sa person who cultivated the Ten Emotions Sword Dao, I have to say that my brilliance had died down after years of not wielding my sword." The smile on her face blood behind the red mask.
"However, while I hadn't touched my sword for a very long ti can be deed my disadvantage, I see it as the best decision I have ever made."
Through the sockets of the mask, a red eye flashed, causing waves of energy filled with wrath to descend on the battlefield.
"You know, Lord Genesis once told , to cultivate emotion is to experience it first. I never truly understood it until I experienced true wrath. Today, allow to show you what wrath looks like."
Just when she said that, the space behind her turned red, and boom, black flas ignited in the air. The flas rose high into the air and ford a large mask, one that caused many to step back despite the danger not being directed at them.
Black Fang, who stood proudly, suddenly felt a sense of danger. Black mist ford around his body, and soon, a silver armor materialized, his eyes narrowing at Inaya.
Just when the danger in the air reached its climax, the air stopped moving, and all sound was swallowed.
Then Inaya muttered coldly and swung her sword.
"Wrath: Hellscar Annihilation."
The skull dissolved into her sword, and when she unleashed the attack, a wide arc that cut apart the void was unleashed.
Black Fang roared and mounted a five-layered defense, its previous confidence wiped from its eyes, mind, and soul. Right now, the black sword arc coming was the priority.
Standing on the ground 200 ters from the tribulation ground, Baldy shook his bald head and smiled.
"Futile."
Just when everyone thought the sword arc would be held back by the five-layered defense, sothing very shocking happened.
The mont the attack touched the defense, it cut it in half like a sharp knife through thin paper. The other layers were the sa. The sword arc moved through them, and in what felt like a flash of a second, a large tiger head flew into the air.
Gasps and shock spread among the onlookers, everyone's backs breaking into a cold sweat.
"What was that?" many wondered, so even looking toward so of the renowned swordsn around. However, watching the stunned looks on their faces, they realized that even they didn't know.
In fact, of everyone gathered around, only one person knew what had happened.
Baldy smiled weakly. "Looks like master is going to have a competition this ti. To think Lady Inaya had already mastered True Qi and had even brushed the surface of Absolute Qi. Hehe... master is going to be struck dumb when he learns this."
Kent had already mastered True Qi (true sword energy) and was tasked with mastering absolute sword energy before he could ascend to the Sword Divine stage.
To think Inaya had already glimpsed that realm, if the Sword Council learned of this, she would beco their priority.
Just when the tiger was falling from the air, the figure who appeared when Inaya invoked the Beast God Trial waved their hand, and both the body and the severed head turned into misty energy and flew into Inaya's forehead.
Since she had defeated her opponent, as per the rule, he beca her contracted beast.
She looked up and stared at the second banner. This one is green and has a serpent's head on it. Knowing it wouldn't be for another 12 hours before that one activated, she tapped into her space ring and retrieved a pill and swallowed it.
She sat in a lotus posture and waited for the second trial. Already, she felt like she had taken a step into the realm of Supremacy after defeating the Black Fang Demon Tiger King.
With that step, she could also feel her strength rise by leaps and bounds.
If she can take on the second beast and win, then there is no telling just how much stronger she would beco.
---
Twelve hours later, a large green serpent with scales that shimred like a galaxy ca from the second banner and hovered in the air, its gaze aid at Inaya.
During the Primordial Era, his humanoid na was Tharos, the Azure Scale Void Serpent. It once fought against the Fla King and lost only after the Fla King used a secret bloodline art.
Today, as he gazed at his opponent, calm could be seen in his void-like eyes.
"I suppose the trial of the Beast God still stands," he asked, his voice sounding distant, almost as if the void kept swallowing his words.
"That is right."
"Good."
The next second, Tharos vanished from sight, and the void exploded open.
