581 Drawing the Sword! (2/2)

The entire trial grounds shook. Even the Vast Expanse Dao Palace outside was shaking vigorously. Mie Liezi, Feng Qiuran, and Daoist You Ran all stood up. They were completely filled with shock, and right now, even the ancient greenish-bronze sword shook slightly!

An invisible force seemed to be pulling on the vast ancient greenish-bronze sword, pulling it out of the sun!

Regrettably, that force was too weak and was unable to accomplish that feat. It could only move it slightly, but even so, even though Wang Baole still couldn't pull out the invisible sword in the scabbard, he maintained his posture and the effect that he produced still caused the scabbard to shake violently, unleashing an extremely powerful force!

The force couldn't be seen or felt, but the moment it emerged, it formed a formidable sword intent that could shock everyone. The sword intent was directed towards the approaching Dugu Lin!

Even though the second level seal had been opened, Dugu Lin, who was extremely powerful, still trembled. A strong sense of impending life-and-death crisis that he hadn't felt for a long time instantly flooded his mind. Amidst his shock, Dugu Lin had a strong premonition that if he continued to advance, he would die without a doubt!

In his fear, Dugu Lin retreated. However, it was still too late. As Wang Baole opened his eyes, a sword projection flashed across his pupils!

An invisible sword projection charged towards Dugu Lin, its ferocity extreme. Dugu Lin, with bitterness in his heart, didn't hesitate and unleashed his third level seal, which he had originally not wished to unleash!

As the seal was lifted, Dugu Lin's hair grew. The golden glow in his eyes was replaced by a black glow. It was as if he had been transformed into a black hole that was releasing a frightening aura. He sealed his hands and put in all his effort to block the incoming sword projection!

Images of god beasts transmogrified behind him. They all roared and maniacally charged towards the incoming sword projection!

He opened the first level seal without much thought. As for the second level seal, the most he could open it for was the time of ten breaths. Furthermore, opening it caused severe damage to his body. On the other hand, the third seal… could only be opened when his cultivation technique was pushed to the limits. Even though his previous efforts wouldn't be made futile if the third seal was opened before that, it could break the force that he had been accumulating and prevent him from continuing. He could only choose to breakthrough in advance while in seclusion!

Dugu Lin never wanted to open his third level seal initially. His goal was to surpass the Nascent Soul realm and enter the Soul Conduit realm. However, right now, with his life on the line, he was forced to open the third seal with bitterness in his heart!

Even though the third level seal was opened, it could only allow him to survive in the face of the sword projection!

Instantly, the sword projection neared. Like an autumn wind that blew off the leaves of a tree, the sword projection destroyed all the illusory images of the god beasts and landed heavily on Dugu Lin's body with an extremely strong force. Blood spewed out of Dugu Lin, and his body tumbled and fell backwards, pushing him back to the second level seal. The black color in his eyes returned to a gold color. Even then, it didn't end as blood spewed from his body again. The second level seal was devastated, and his eyes were transformed into a pale gold color!

That wasn't the end. At that moment, the first level seal was broken apart as well. The aura from his body weakened, and his body landed heavily and loudly on the Blood Peak that represented him, crumbling it. He was thrown to the brink of death before a mouthful of fresh blood spewed from his mouth. That was when the sword projection dissipated!

There was silence all around. Both outside and within the trial grounds, everyone stood dumbfounded. Wang Baole sighed softly in his heart. He was still unable to withdraw the sword in the end. No one but him knew that the sword projection that was seen previously was the only one that the scabbard had accumulated so far!

If he wanted to unleash it again, he would need to accumulate it for a period of time.

As he sighed, Wang Baole raised his head and stepped out. When he appeared, he stood in front of Dugu Lin, lowering his head but not speaking.

Dugu Lin laughed pitifully as he struggled to raise his right hand. He grabbed in the direction of a key and mountainous rocks a distance away, and the key flew instantly to Wang Baole.

”You win!”
