“Aowu!!”

Upon noticing Lin Ye's movements, the Puppet War King, struggling within the Nirvana Domain, let out an enraged roar.

More scarlet light clusters flickered from all around the plaza, eventually coalescing into Puppet War Generals, all charging towards Lin Ye.

However, no matter the number, at this moment, they were meaningless before him.

After the Nirvana Domain was released, it enveloped the area within a thousand meters of him, instantly transforming it into a forbidden zone.

Blades formed from spiritual power and genetic energy orbited Lin Ye at extreme speed, the massive vortex generating an indescribable and terrifying tearing force.

Crack!!

Shred!

...

Within his Sword Intent Domain, killing intent bloomed everywhere.

Accompanied by a series of crisp shattering sounds, any Puppet War Generals that dared to enter the Nirvana Domain were instantly torn to shreds by the sharp sword lights.

Swift, violent, subtle, fierce… each sword light displayed the ultimate power of slaughter, capable of easily killing enemies at the first or second level of the Planetary Realm.

Therefore, apart from the Puppet War King, not a single Puppet War General could withstand even a second.

This was the powerful Sword Intent unleashed by Lin Ye after fully comprehending the 'Ten Severing Slashes,' possessing the same combat power as when he wielded his blade personally.

At the same time, strands of surging spiritual power combined with blades of violent genetic energy, resulting in an even more terrifying display of power.

The power of each sword light directly surpassed that of flying knives controlled by pure spiritual power.

According to Lin Ye's judgment, instantly killing that Ancient Flame Dragon King was not a problem at all.

At this moment, Lin Ye also noticed that he had simultaneously advanced to the second level of the Planetary Realm as both a martial artist and a spiritual master.

Diverting a wisp of consciousness to look inward.

At this moment, two fiery-red miniature planets in his dantian orbited each other, forming a strange celestial structure.

The same was true within his sea of consciousness, where two miniature light spheres rotated rapidly in their respective orbits.

At the very center of his sea of consciousness, the scarlet giant tower remained towering and unmoving.

However, since Lin Ye's advancement, the first level of the tower body faintly showed signs of solidifying, and the scarlet light it emitted became increasingly intense.

It even began to somewhat affect the two miniature light spheres of spiritual power.

At this moment, strands of majestic spiritual power and genetic energy continuously emanated from the two light spheres, and then quickly merged into the Nirvana Domain, making it even more fierce.

Feeling the dominance and sharp killing power emanating from the Nirvana Domain, Lin Ye smiled.

The power emitted by this domain was now far greater than when he released spiritual power to control flying knives alone.

“I wonder, how does my 'Nirvana Domain' compare to Hong's 'Light Domain'?”

With a soft chuckle, Lin Ye advanced amidst the slaughter.

He was now less than five hundred meters away from the large Puppet War King.

“Bang!!”

Lin Ye took a step, instantly disappearing from his original position.

The next moment, a burst of sword light erupted on the Puppet War King's chest, sending it flying hundreds of meters like a broken sandbag, heavily crashing onto the plaza.

Rumble!!

Amidst the ear-piercing shattering sounds, countless bluestone slabs were smashed to pieces by the massive body.

“Aowu!!”

The Puppet War King let out an angry roar, then struggled to rise to its feet.

Once it stood firm, a ghastly mark had appeared in the center of the thick golden armor on its chest, surrounded by dense, spiderweb-like cracks.

It looked as if its armor would shatter and fall to the ground in the next second, appearing extremely miserable.

At the wound in the armor, a huge bloody hole was revealed, and scarlet blood gushed out like a spring, quickly dyeing the surrounding area red.

A thick, bloody aura quickly permeated the trial plaza.

The power of a single strike had directly severely injured the Puppet War King.

Clearly, Lin Ye was also shocked by the power of his own strike.

However, upon reflection, Lin Ye could accept it.

After all, he had simultaneously broken through to the second level of the Planetary Realm as both a martial artist and a spiritual master.

The extent of his power surge was not a simple addition, but a multiplication.

Moreover, he had comprehended the tenth Severing Slash, and his movement technique had also broken through to a higher realm.

If the Lin Ye who fought the Puppet War King before was a toddler taking his first steps.

Then the current Lin Ye was a fully armed martial arts expert.

“Tenth Severing Slash!”

Lin Ye roared in his heart, and a dazzling red light burst forth from his dantian, pouring into the battle blade in his hand, causing the blade to reveal its sharp edge.

At the same time, streams of energy instantly converged from all parts of Lin Ye's body, also gathering momentum in his hand.

To unleash the strongest and most terrifying power of the Tenth Severing Slash, ten layers of hidden force needed to be stacked, finally erupting like an accumulated volcano!

And now Lin Ye was doing just that, as he was at the second level of the Planetary Realm.

Because in terms of physical fitness alone, he had reached 6,000 tons of force.

Combined with the six-fold amplification of the Tenth Severing Slash, a full seven times the body's strength.

When erupting, he could allow the battle blade in his hand to unleash a force exceeding 40,000 tons!

Lin Ye's pinnacle strike directly collided head-on with the golden giant sword slashed out by the Puppet War King.

“Bang!”

Forty thousand tons of force suddenly erupted from the blade, and the Puppet War King's entire massive golden body shook violently.

Under the force of a majestic force, it flew out again.

In the process of the huge body flying backwards, the sword light in the Nirvana Domain flashed one after another, constantly inflicting sustained damage.

“Puff!!”

Heavily spurting out a mouthful of blood, the Puppet War King suffered another heavy blow.

At this moment, it not only had to face Lin Ye's frontal attack, but also had to allocate most of its strength to resist the tearing force of the Nirvana Domain.

Back and forth, the combat power it faced against Lin Ye was less than 40% of its original power.

Coupled with successive heavy injuries, it further reduced its combat power!

The current Puppet War King no longer posed the threat it once did in front of Lin Ye.

Despite this, he did not intend to let go of this Puppet War King.

The reason was simple.

Just a few minutes ago, it was this Puppet War King who brought Lin Ye to the brink of death,

For this young man who was extremely vengeful, revenge would not wait overnight.

Lin Ye glanced at the palace gate not far away, and then his gaze fell on the Puppet War King's scarred and massive body.

In the depths of his eyes, a sharp cold light flickered and disappeared.

The next moment, Lin Ye transformed into lightning and attacked at a faster speed.

“Bang!”

“Bang!”

“Bang!”

With a series of dull loud noises, Lin Ye bombarded the huge Puppet War King, staggering backwards.

Although the Puppet War King roared angrily and wanted to rush up again and again, Lin Ye still blasted it back from the front.

Relying entirely on the brute force that erupted again and again, he left one hideous wound after another on the body of the Puppet War King, which had once brought him a fatal threat.

During the battle, Lin Ye felt that his understanding of swordsmanship was gradually deepening.

And the benefits brought about by this deepening, in addition to the improvement of combat power.

It was the continuous improvement of the power of the Nirvana Domain!

As Lin Ye's figure flashed, the little brothers summoned by the surrounding Puppet War King were swept away by the Nirvana Domain.

On the huge trial square, it returned to the empty state with only Lin Ye and the Puppet War King again.

However, the situation at this time was completely reversed.

In the beginning, Lin Ye had always been at a disadvantage, being suppressed and beaten by the Puppet War King, in a state of embarrassment.

But now, it was Lin Ye who completely occupied the upper hand, showing a complete crushing trend against the Puppet War King.

“Hu!”

His speed was extremely fast, and a blade that was difficult to see with the naked eye suddenly cut off the big man's arm holding the knife.

During this period, the Puppet War King was too weak to even react, and his arm was cut off directly.

The power of this blade also made Lin Ye clearly feel the gap between the two sides.

Not to mention that this super-giant puppet needed to allocate most of its power to resist the twisting power of the Nirvana Domain.

Even if it was just the one who had just appeared and was in its peak state, it would definitely not be his opponent.

Lin Ye had a very strong confidence in this.

Since activating the Nirvana Domain between life and death, Lin Ye's state of mind had also undergone earth-shaking changes at the same time—

No regrets even in death, fearless and unafraid!

Not to mention the subsequent improvement of body skills, swordsmanship and realm, which made his strength skyrocket to a very terrifying state.

Looking down at this scarred and almost dying Puppet War King from mid-air, Lin Ye decided not to play with him anymore.

Hu!

Lin Ye waved the battle blade in his hand, and the Tenth Severing Slash erupted again, carrying the endless sharpness that could split everything, and directly slashed at the Puppet War King.

With one slash, it carried a very strong sharpness.

This terrifying and extreme power of destruction erupted suddenly, causing the Puppet War King, who did not know what fear was, to tremble involuntarily.

Crack!

The blade light flashed and disappeared, and the Puppet War King, who was already seriously injured and dying, was instantly beheaded.

“The first trial, passed!”

As the Puppet War King's huge corpse dissipated, the palace gate slowly opened.

Subsequently, Venerable Fenchen's gratified voice came from the sky above the square.

“A very monstrous young man, you have shown me an amazing result.”

“I have stayed in this place for millions of years, and you are the only one in millions of years who has passed my first trial so easily!”

“You have created an incredible miracle, a domain that combines spiritual power and genetic energy, very good!”

Lin Ye remained calm and quietly listened to the words of this mysterious being.

“If it weren't for this, I'm afraid you would have died under the sword of the Puppet War King, but the end of the first level does not mean that you can easily pass this second level!”

“Before passing this second level, I can give you two hours to rest and recover, and after making sufficient preparations, you can enter the palace and start the trial of the second level...”

“Venerable Fenchen, I don't need to recover, let's start the second level directly!”

“I'm a little pressed for time!”

Although he felt a little impolite, Lin Ye still interrupted Venerable Fenchen's words,

Now he doesn't even know how long he has stayed in the trial site of this ancient civilization relic.

There are still so many people outside who are worried about him, so he must speed up!

“You are really a brave kid, you are the first Planetary Realm warrior in this world who dares to interrupt this deity's words.”

“In order to show my appreciation for your courage, I have decided to adjust the difficulty of the second level by one level!”

“It doesn't matter, you can start the second trial!” Lin Ye said calmly.

“I haven't seen a young man who is so confident in himself for a long time, very good!!”

When the last sentence of emotion was said, Lin Ye actually heard appreciation and... a hint of pleasure in the Venerable's words?

Then, he shook his head gently.

He quickly discarded the useless thoughts in his mind.

With Lin Ye possessing the 'No Regrets Even in Death, Fearless Heart', his state of mind had already broken away from the timid, fearful and fearful psychology.

Now he can calmly face all the enemies that are about to come, and then use the battle blade in his hand to destroy them all!

Then, Lin Ye turned around and looked at the palace gate, which was the second trial site.

His eyes stared at the giant stone gate engraved with unknown patterns, but his eyes flickered with more and more firm brilliance.

“I must pass this second trial!”

“I want to leave this ancient civilization relic as soon as possible!”

As soon as the words fell, Lin Ye immediately strode towards the palace.

His whole body exuded an unspeakable confidence and ease.

As if all this was so natural.

When approaching the gate, he slowed down slightly, and when he stepped into the gate, the scene in front of him suddenly became pitch black, and after walking two more steps, it suddenly became clear.

This feeling was like crossing from one world to another in just two steps.

When Lin Ye looked up, he was stunned.

Because what was presented in front of him was an endless dark abyss.

Killing intent, tyranny, terror, coldness... one after another of negative emotions were constantly overflowing from this abyss, rapidly spreading towards Lin Ye, lingering around him, trying to erode his mind.

“Humph!” A cold snort was issued, and a gleam flashed in Lin Ye's eyes.

The next moment, the Nirvana Domain burst out.

It quickly spread to a range of fifty meters around him, like an inverted giant bowl.

In this way, the domain composed of genetic energy, spiritual power and sword intent competed with these negative energies.

In an instant, the haze surrounding Lin Ye was swept away, and it became clear.

Feeling the changes around him, he showed a thoughtful expression.

In the final analysis, these negative emotions are also a kind of energy.

And the spiritual power and genetic energy released by Lin Ye also belong to a kind of power.

At this time, Lin Ye raised his eyes to look.

Above the abyss, there was a land floating like a lonely island.

However, the lonely land was surrounded by hazy colorful rays of light, scattering gorgeous aurora, colorful.

This scene was especially moving above this endless dark abyss.

Lin Ye lowered his head.

What he was stepping on was actually a mottled black stone staircase connected to the suspended land.

As soon as his eyes came into contact with these black stone steps, an ancient atmosphere of vicissitudes came to his face.

It looked like it had experienced endless years, and had been baptized by time.

As Lin Ye's gaze swept across the entire ancient platform, he discovered that in all directions, there was an identical mottled black stone staircase.

Eight black stone staircases!

Finally, Lin Ye's eyes settled on the suspended land that shimmered with seven-colored light.

From it, some alluring auras emanated.

Even from a distance of several thousand meters, it still deeply attracted Lin Ye's mind.

"There must be good things on that land in the abyss!"

Lin Ye took a deep look at the isolated island, which resembled a land of rainbows, and a thought flashed through his mind.

At this moment, Venerable Fenchen's voice echoed in Lin Ye's ears once again, bringing some guidance:

"Young man, this second trial primarily tests your state of mind and soul. If you can safely traverse these nine hundred and ninety-nine black stone steps and reach the suspended land, you will have passed this second trial."

"If you encounter any accidents along the way, you will be forever buried here, becoming a part of the abyss!"

"Are you ready?"

The question from Venerable Fenchen was very solemn.

"I'm ready!"

Gazing at the suspended land that radiated seven-colored light, Lin Ye nodded firmly.

"In that case... I still wish you good luck, young man!"

Looking at the black staircase in front of him, Lin Ye steadied his mind and then lifted his foot.

He stepped onto the first step towards the seven-colored land.

Boom!

As his foot landed, a heavy pressure instantly bore down on him, as if a mountain weighing ten thousand pounds was pressing on his back.

Lin Ye's expression changed slightly, and he looked up at the nine hundred and ninety-nine black steps, then began to sprint!
