As Daolord Yinatched Ji Ning advanced past level six hundred and eighty, he couldn’t help but feel resigned Even the best perfor member of his Saber Palace, Saberlord Redsnow, had only ive such an impressive performance was expected, but Greatjoy’s i He was even better than Solewind! And now, this Darknorth fellow has appeared as well”

Ning continued to advance past multiple floors

“Kill!”

Boom!

The attacks of the ancient goleh to sunder Heaven and Earth, and they ca from all directions

As Ning walked forwards, his Yin-Yang Sword Doion of wild, dark chaos around hi and water within this region, and the region itself stretched out to be ht tohad to be able to first withstand the assaults of the Yin-Yang Sword Domain

“Break!”

“Go”

Ning’s swords were sometihty as a an to slon Clearly, the pressure was starting to increase

“Six hundred ninety Six hundred ninety-five Six hundred ninety-six…” Daolord Woodflower had a look of delight on his face

“He broke through level seven hundred!”

Ning continued to advance, albeit with great difficulty as he began toSword Do it harder and harder to deal with the increasingly powerful golems

Boom!

Ning’s sword-arts were finally breached on level 705 Although they came out in a perfect, flawless cycle, they still cru power that had been brought to bear upon them

Outside the Daolord Cloudworld A white-robed, rather bedraggled-looking Ning suddenly appeared, a look of worry in his eyes “I wonder if I made it into the top four”

“However… I have to say that my performance was better than I expected I actually ended up developing a defensive Dao” Ning felt both content and worried His sword-arts had reached an extrereatest World-level geniuses of the Twelve Palaces He couldn’t help but think back to that tiainst Bertulu Only now did realize what a truly profound level Bertulu had reached!

This was because… Bertulu was at a level of insight that was ’s! Only when Ning hireat the distance had been between the two of the only had the vague sense that thethan he did As to how her, exactly? He couldn’t say for sure Bertulu hadn’t even used his true forainst Ning

“However… now, even if Bertulu was to attack me with all his power, I would not need to be afraid of hi mused

His Yin-Yang Sword Do faced opponents ere stronger than hiainst them

“Darknorth” Suddenly, a voice rang out within Ning’s mind

“Eh?” Ning turned to look towards the direction of Lord Woodflower’s estate

“Come here immediately,” Lord Woodflower sent

“Yes” Ning iht and fleards the estate Soon, he reached Lord Woodflower’s estate, and Lord Woodflower hi at the entrance, a s “Come in, Darknorth”

“What is it, senior apprentice-brother?” Ning was a bit nervous He didn’t know if he had made it into the top four or not

“daemon and the others all saw you use that sword-intent dohtfulFor his Sword Palace to completely crush the Saber Palace in such a as absolutely wonderful!

The two palaces had been at loggerheads and coainst each other since time immemorial

“That was so Sword Dohed “I was just lucky I had already prepared seven types of Dao lightning and Dao water, and I was able to use the any other types of treasures, the power of my domain would’ve been much weaker”

“The Dao lightning and the Dao water aren’t that impressive It is your sword-intent which truly i

Ning chuckled

Even if heSword Domain would still cause it to naturally emanate an aura of swordforce The power of the domain would still have twenty to thirty percent of the power of a do and Dao water At this level, even if he y to manifest a sword and swordforce, he would still be able to create an extremely powerful domain with it

“Without the Dao water and the Dao lightning, I probably wouldn’t have been able tosaid He couldn’t help but ask, “Senior apprentice-brother, do I have a shot at the top four?”

Only the top four would be granted the ‘opportunity’

“You do” Lord Woodflower nodded “A very good shot, in fact But of course, the three days haven’t ended and there are still World-level cultivators challenging the Daolord Cloudworld Nothing is certain until the final cultivator concludes his attempts”
