Chapter 484: Full Outburst, Legendary (2)

Merely a dozen breaths later, Wu Yuan easily swept away a hundred guardians in the second stage after unleashing his full power.

They were not too different from the hundred guardians in the first stage.

The strength of the guardians has increased significantly, but their Dao comprehension only reaches the eighth or ninth-level Domain stage. Too weak.

Wu Yuan knew early on that the difficulty was adjusted for his age and cultivation level, but he didn't expect it to be this easy.

After all, over eight hundred Bloodforge Kings had gone through the test before him. Among them, more than ten failed to pass the second stage.

Those who didn't pass the second stage are likely Golden Core cultivators who have been cultivating for two hundred years, yet refuse to break through to the next phase. Wu Yuan speculated. The older they are, the stronger the guardians they encounter.

Wu Yuan hesitated only slightly before transforming into a streak of light and charging into the Dao Heart willpower test area. Just like the previous stage, it was a soul attack, though its power was greatly enhanced.

But Wu Yuan’s greatest strength was none other than his soul! These soul attacks felt like nothing more than an itch.

Stage two, cleared.

...

At stage three, the strength of the hundred guardians truly surged, each reaching the fourth-level True Intent stage. On top of their formidable strength, they worked in harmony to take down Wu Yuan.

This did put a bit of pressure on Wu Yuan, but not more than that.

"Kill!" Wu Yuan still only exhibited the ninth-level Domain stage of the Celestial Body Dao. Countless blade rays danced. One by one, the body refiners fell.

With the difference in immortal root degrees and Dao comprehension levels, along with Wu Yuan's heaven-defying defense, the overwhelming attacks raining down on his body had no effect on him at all.

On the other hand, these body refiners couldn't block his attacks at all.

Ultimately, after some time, Wu Yuan killed the hundred guardians and once again passed through the Dao Heart willpower test area.

Stage three, cleared!

"Continue." Wu Yuan was filled with fighting spirit. He didn't expect the test of the so-called Overlord Hall to be this easy.

Perhaps, I might really get through the fifth stage and even the sixth stage. A bold idea popped into Wu Yuan's mind.

He believed that the Legendary opportunity was within his grasp.

"Stage Four." Wu Yuan turned into a streak of light and rushed deeper into the passage.

However, it wasn’t that the test was easy. Rather, he was far too strong.

The third stage guardians were already frighteningly strong, each capable of unleashing the base strength of an Amethyst Cradle cultivator. With a hundred of them working together, even a typical Golden Core Bloodforge Marquis wouldn't be able to emerge victorious.

On top of that, this test was administered to cultivators in their fifties or sixties.

...

In the plaza outside the Overlord Hall, silence reigned.

Over a thousand Golden Core Bloodforge Kings stood stock-still, intently looking at the words ‘Third Stage’ above the tenth vortex entrance.

"So fast."

"Too fast. Did he breeze through the third stage too?" These Bloodforge Kings were utterly stunned.

The text above the other nine vortexes still displayed 'First Stage'.

He was two whole stages ahead!

The six Bloodforge Kings who had previously made it through the third stage did not complete their stages much faster than the other Golden Core Bloodforge Kings in their group.

Time passed. Rêađ latest cha/p/ters on no/v/e/l(b)in(.)c/o/m

The Golden Core Bloodforge Kings numbered 841 through 849 began completing the second stage and began the third.

One after another, the participants failed and were eliminated.

Buzz~ Just then, the text above the tenth vortex suddenly changed - Fourth Stage!

Uproar ensued.

"The fourth stage?"

His entire soul chamber operated at full speed, maintaining his ether reserves!

Thud! Rip! Crash! One by one, the guardians fell, while Wu Yuan's ether reserves continued to drop.

If it were an ordinary body refiner, their ether would likely have been exhausted by now.

Kill! Wu Yuan fought with all his strength, blood splattering all around him. The blood from the body refiners quickly dissolved.

However, some blood remained, it was Wu Yuan's.

Sixty percent of ether left!

Another body refiner fell!

Fifty percent.

Of the ninety body refiners, only forty-nine were left, and the pressure on Wu Yuan finally began to ease.

Forty percent ether.

Thirty-three body refiners remained; The time between each death shortened noticeably.

Thirty percent.

Eleven body refiners remained. At this moment, the power of the flying swords wielded by the ten qi refiners increased by a notch.

Earlier, when the body refiners besieged Wu Yuan, they didn't have much room to wield their strength.

Once Wu Yuan's ether dropped to the final ten percent, only ten qi refiners remained. With that, qi-refiner guardians were plunged into an inescapable nightmare.

Fight? They couldn’t withstand Wu Yuan's saber.

Boom! Splatter~ As a blade ray cut through the sky, the last qi refiner was instantly torn apart, blood splattering across the sky.

The passage finally quieted down.

Only half a percent left. Wu Yuan sighed inwardly.

That was too close for comfort. As long as the disparity in strength wasn't insurmountable, it could be compensated for with sheer numbers. This was a lesson Wu Yuan fully grasped through this battle.

Suddenly, special raindrops fell from the sky, landing on Wu Yuan’s body. As he absorbed them, his ether started to recover.

This was the grace of the Overlord Hall, ensuring that challengers could maintain their peak power at every stage.

Less than a quarter of an hour passed.

Time to try the sixth stage, the final stage. Wu Yuan had no confidence in passing the last stage.

If it weren't for the blood mist resupplying his ether reserves continuously, the guardians at the fifth stage would have beaten Wu Yuan to death; He may not even have been able to kill a third of them.

Swoosh! Wu Yuan flew deeper into the passage.

...

In the plaza outside the Overlord Hall.

The words above the tenth vortex changed to Fifth Stage.

Commotion ensued once more.

"The fifth stage?"

"This! This!"

"Out of over eight hundred people, only six passed the third stage, but he passed the fifth stage? Heavens!"

"He's on a whole other level."

"Where did he come from? Is his talent hundreds, thousands of times greater than ours?" These Bloodforge Kings felt as though they were losing their sanity.

One had to remember that they were the most powerful Golden Core prodigies from the Bloodforge Devil Hall in the last century. Those who passed the third stage could already be considered top talents of the macrocosm. Yet Number 850 surpassed them by two major stages, how monstrous was this talent?

Suddenly, a figure in blood-red robes was blasted out from the vortex, falling heavily to the ground, covered in fresh blood. With the application of ether, his injuries began to heal rapidly.

Number 850 failed to pass the sixth stage.
