This was a gray and hazy world.
At first, Qin Tian did not pay much attention to it.
After all, he had already undergone eight different trials in the Nine Dragons Hall.
He was not particularly surprised by this gray and hazy world.
However, when his spiritual consciousness could not leave his body and was forcibly suppressed within, he suddenly realized that there seemed to be something unusual about this place.
"Something's off."
Qin Tian was perceptive; almost the moment he sensed that his spiritual consciousness could not leave his body, he began to contemplate what to do next.
"First, let's see what exactly is strange here."
Qin Tian had no idea what was happening outside.
He moved lightly, his body darting forward like an arrow released from a bow, racing toward the distant gray expanse.
No matter what happened next, he would face it with unwavering resolve.
This was Qin Tian.
Boom!
Half an hour later, Qin Tian's figure landed atop a solitary peak.
"Only now do I realize that I can actually fly here."
After patting his head, Qin Tian finally understood that he could fly without having entered the Qi Control Realm.
However, when he focused his gaze on the distant mountains and rivers, a cold sweat trickled down his forehead.
"What is this…"
Beneath the gray sky, the Nine Mountains and Rivers coiled like dragons, transforming into a Black Altar that spanned hundreds of miles.
Qin Tian was still several hundred miles away from the Black Altar.
Yet, the powerful aura sweeping from the Black Altar made his entire body tremble.
"Since I'm here, I have to give it a try!"
Cracking his knuckles, Qin Tian knew there was no turning back; he had to move forward bravely.
In a flash of sharp light, his body shot forward like an arrow toward the Black Altar formed by the nine mountains and rivers.
He raced ahead.
Boom!
As soon as he landed, Qin Tian stumbled.
The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy here was so dense it felt suffocating.
Bang!
With the arrival of Qin Tian, a series of powerful sculptures, entwined with formidable spiritual energy, rose up on the Black Altar.
Qin Tian moved from the first sculpture to the last.
His eyes narrowed, and a sense of foreboding filled his heart.
"Ten sculptures, each one unfathomable. What is this all about?"
Qin Tian attempted to call out to the War God.
Yet, he found that the War God had once again vanished.
"This is really troublesome. Every time something like this happens, my mentor is nowhere to be found."
Qin Tian rubbed his forehead, feeling somewhat dejected.
However, with the War God absent, he had to confront the predicament before him.
"Are you ready to accept the challenge?"
At that moment, a deep and powerful voice echoed in Qin Tian's ears from the dark altar.
"It seems these ten sculptures are meant to test the challenger's talent and potential. This should be the final trial, a way to grant rewards."
Qin Tian observed carefully and ultimately reached this conclusion.
Buzz!
Just as Qin Tian was pondering, the first sculpture among the ten suddenly awakened.
Stepping forward, he approached Qin Tian.
Bang.
In an instant, it appeared right in front of Qin Tian.
As the light dissipated, the sculpture transformed into a figure.
It looked exactly like Qin Tian.
Moreover, it possessed the peak cultivation of the Sixth Layer of Meridian Realm.
"Looks just like me? This is too ridiculous," Qin Tian said, scratching his nose, feeling somewhat speechless.
The setup for the final challenge was truly beyond his expectations.
"Defeat me to pass."
The figure, identical to Qin Tian, showed a flicker of blankness in its eyes.
It seemed to lack any semblance of intelligence.
"Azure Sky Sword Formation."
Qin Tian decided to strike first.
He had no intention of holding back against this doppelgänger.
The Azure Sky Sword Formation, upgraded through the Spirit Sword Classic, now wielded the power of a Human-Level Martial Art.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A series of explosive sounds echoed as the sculpture of Qin Tian was engulfed in dust and smoke.
Not a trace of breath escaped.
"Next!" Qin Tian declared proudly.
However, in the next moment, his face turned pale.
As the smoke cleared, the sculpture of Qin Tian emerged unscathed.
He lifted his foot and slowly walked out from the haze.
Then, he raised the sword in his hand, its cold gleam flickering.
"Azure Sky Sword Formation!"
A crisp explosion resonated through the air.
For the first time, Qin Tian's eyes narrowed deeply, shrinking to the size of pinholes.
It was the same Azure Sky Sword Formation.
Yet the one wielded by the sculpture of Qin Tian possessed power that far surpassed Human-Level Martial Art.
Dozens of sword energies surged forth, carrying an overwhelming Killing Intent.
Even the air was instantly shattered.
"Is this the legendary Earth-Level Martial Arts?"
Qin Tian had never encountered Earth-Level Martial Arts before; the only technique he possessed was the incomplete Soul Binding Demon Array, a Heavenly Stage Formation.
However, there is a significant difference between formations and martial arts.
Thus, Qin Tian could not discern the extent of the Azure Sky Sword Formation unleashed from her hands.
With a cough, blood spewed forth as Qin Tian's figure was sent tumbling back dozens of feet.
He came to a halt at the edge of a cliff.
Clutching his bleeding chest, Qin Tian struggled to lift his head.
Blood dripped continuously from the corner of his mouth.
"My swordsmanship is still lacking!"
Before entering the Ninth Hall, Qin Tian had believed that his sword techniques, under the enhancement of the Spirit Sword Classic, had reached their peak.
Now, he realized that there are always greater beings and realms beyond his own.
Although the Spirit Sword Classic had upgraded all his existing sword techniques, this upgrade was still insufficient.
He needed to become stronger.
He wanted to defeat those truly arrogant Heavenly Pride in the Ancient Immortal Road Competition.
He.
Clearly, he was still not enough.
Now, he finally understood what Gong Xueyi had said.
Looking out at the world beyond,
They were all just ants.
Clenching his fists, he did not feel a shred of disappointment.
Instead, this ignited his overwhelming fighting spirit.
Rising to his feet, Qin Tian charged at that figure again and again.
Yet he was knocked down time and time again.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The sounds of explosions echoed continuously between heaven and earth.
From being defeated in an instant, Qin Tian could now exchange blows for over a dozen moves after just a short incense stick's time.
His battle experience and mastery of swordsmanship had improved tremendously.
In the blink of an eye,
Half an hour later.
After exchanging over a hundred blows, he finally thrust his sword into the chest of the statue of Qin Tian.
With a series of piercing explosions, Qin Tian finally shattered the statue before him.
"Did I win?"
Qin Tian let out a long breath.
He never expected that with his current Combat Power, he could withstand the sword of a cultivator at the Sixth Layer of Meridian Realm in this Ninth Hall.
He had been suppressed for more than half an hour.
There were many times when he nearly fell.
As he sighed, the first statue transformed into a swirl of black smoke and dissipated.
As the black smoke cleared, among the ten statues standing between heaven and earth, the second statue slowly took a step forward.
It appeared before Qin Tian.
"Shall we begin?"
As those three words fell, the statue transformed into a dazzling Sword Radiance and then into a figure clad in blue robes.
It was still Qin Tian.
With a bitter smile, Qin Tian truly admired the predecessors who created the Ninth Hall.
Did you not know?
Fighting against someone who looks exactly like oneself is truly a strange experience, especially when being utterly defeated.
Qin Tian, too exhausted to complain, charged forward with his Purple Lightning Sword in hand.
Clash!
For three whole hours, as Qin Tian was beaten to the brink of collapse, his swordsmanship ascended to a higher level once again.
In the midst of hardship, he managed to win another battle.
For over ten hours straight, Qin Tian did not take a moment's rest. Like a madman, he fought his way from the first statue to the ninth.
With each statue he defeated, Qin Tian's swordsmanship improved significantly.
Although his cultivation remained at the Initial Stage of the Ninth Layer of the Meridian Realm, his combat power had increased severalfold.
Now, if he were to face Earth Peak Roke, it would be far less challenging.
With just one sword, he could defeat them.
Of course, he had yet to face Gong Xueyi and Pei Haidong.
He wondered how much of a gap remained between him and the two of them now.
Even if he hadn't caught up yet, he must be infinitely close, right?
Bang!
When the Eighth Statue shattered, the Ninth Sculpture finally transformed into a White-Helmed, White-Armored Youth.
He had eyes like bright stars and walked slowly to Qin Tian's front.
This time, he no longer resembled Qin Tian.
Instead, he took on another strikingly handsome appearance.
"Survive three of my strikes, and you will pass."
The handsome youth in white armor gazed at the nearby Qin Tian, a hint of mockery curling at the corners of his mouth.
Yes.
It was mockery.
It made Qin Tian feel as if the youth before him was not a sculpture at all.
It was a living being.
This was completely different from all the previous sculptures.
The first six sculptures were nothing more than puppets.
The seventh sculpture, while slightly better than the earlier ones, was still limited.
The eighth statue had gained some semblance of intelligence, but it only evoked a sense of anger.
The vitality of the ninth sculpture was worlds apart.
Moreover, previously, all one had to do was defeat them without any time restrictions.
This allowed Qin Tian to take shortcuts, launching attack after attack after repeated failures.
Through constant failure, he surpassed his limits.
But the ninth sculpture...
It imposed a limit of three moves.
Everything had become far from simple.
"Come on!"
Qin Tian snorted coldly, his right hand slowly tightening around the Purple Lightning Sword.
Just as he was preparing to accept the challenge, something suddenly crossed his mind.
He raised his hand in a timely manner.
"Let me prepare first."
As Qin Tian's words fell, the Ninth Sculpture seemed to understand, slowly nodding in response.
"Alright."
Although there was still an unnatural tone belonging to a sculpture, it still left Qin Tian greatly astonished.
The Ninth Sculpture was indeed extraordinary.
Qin Tian sat cross-legged in mid-air, his hands continuously forming hand seals.
Waves of light vanished between heaven and earth.
He was about to activate the Soul Binding Demon Array.
Whoosh!
The Soul Binding Demon Array was activated.
Then, behind Qin Tian, nine Great Demons slowly materialized.
Yin Sha Nine Demon Sword!
But that wasn't all; large stars began to appear before him.
Starlight Sword Technique!
After executing these moves, Qin Tian was not yet satisfied.
Golden light radiated from within him, spreading outward.
Then, a towering Phantom Dragon appeared above his Crown.
Adamantine Body Technique!
This time, he would face an unprecedented enemy.
If he did not unleash such power, he truly feared he might fall.
Qin Tian did not like to take risks.
And he would never act without preparation.
"Let’s begin!"
Having completed all of this, Qin Tian lifted his head, his gaze sharp as a blade, locking onto the distant Ninth Sculpture.
Ninth Sculpture curled his lips in a smirk.
Their eyes met.
Then, a fierce light flickered in his hand.
A long sword, resembling a dragon, suddenly materialized and lunged toward Qin Tian's chest.
