Instantly Clearing the Trial, Cultivation Arts Pavilion Elder Stunned!

Before Lin Feng stood a full hundred Sea of Reincarnation Realm spirit beasts.

Roars and howls rolled over like waves of might, shaking the void. Their aura was enough to make one suffocate.

"A hundred spirit beasts? It looks like they should all be at the First Layer of the Sea of Reincarnation Realm."

Lin Feng was slightly excited.

First Layer of the Sea of Reincarnation Realm!

If it had been just one First Layer Sea of Reincarnation Realm beast, it would have been nothing. But there were a full hundred here.

This was the best opportunity for Lin Feng to test his own strength.

Could these hundred First Layer Sea of Reincarnation Realm spirit beasts withstand a single strike from his sword?

Lin Feng strode forward steadily, while the spirit beasts' roars grew louder and louder.

With such a formation, let alone a First Layer Sea of Reincarnation Realm cultivator, even those at the Second or Third Layer would show fear and ponder for a long while before making a move.

Yet Lin Feng felt no fear. Without hesitation, he launched a fierce attack.

Heaven-Severing Sword Shadow!

At the same time, all three layers of Sword Intent were unleashed to their fullest.

Heaven-Severing Sword Shadow, once cultivated to mastery, was already terrifyingly powerful, undeniably among the finest of ninth-rank martial arts.

With the enhancement of three layers of Sword Intent—

The terrifying energy of several hundred sword shadows immediately swept over the hundred Sea of Reincarnation Realm spirit beasts like the might of world destruction!

Boom!

At that moment, the roars vanished, and space itself seemed to fall into silent extinction.

Over a hundred First Layer Sea of Reincarnation Realm spirit beasts were ravaged by the violent, rampant Heaven-Severing Sword Shadows until not a single one remained!

Not merely not a single one remained.

Not even one spirit beast retained an intact body! All of them had turned into fragments, drifting through the space!

After all, these spirit beasts were formed by a Spirit Formation. If they had been real ferocious beasts, it was impossible to imagine what the scene would have been like—blood would surely have rained from the sky, and the stench of blood would have filled the air.

"It's over?"

"They couldn't withstand a single blow!"

Lin Feng was somewhat taken aback.

Were First Layer Sea of Reincarnation Realm spirit beasts really this weak?

It felt as though he had barely made a move before directly slaughtering every last one of them.

One had to know, this was only his third move.

He had yet to use the fourth move he had deduced, Yellow Springs Phantom Slaughter.

And judging from the battle just now—

Let alone a hundred First Layer Sea of Reincarnation Realm spirit beasts, even two hundred or three hundred—

The result would still not change!

They would still be instantly killed!

A gleam flashed in Lin Feng's eyes!

"This Spirit Formation... no longer poses any challenge to me."

"I wonder how strong the so-called talented descendants of those three inner sect elders are? Can they withstand a strike from my sword?"

With those thoughts in mind, Lin Feng continued forward!

Meanwhile, outside the formation—

Elder Zhu and the Cultivation Arts Pavilion elder, two great figures, watched from above. The pressure of the Venerable Realm blanketed everything, and no one dared even breathe loudly or discuss matters aloud. They could only watch with incomparably excited eyes.

Among the onlookers were many imperial nobles and heads of great clans from around the Limitless Sacred Land.

In their own territories, they were overlords of a region. Yet upon arriving at the Limitless Sacred Land, they were no different from ordinary people.

At that moment, dozens of people suddenly dropped out of the vast, ethereal Spirit Formation.

Many had purple faces, with blood staining the corners of their mouths, as though they had been injured.

"Why did they come out so early?"

"They seem to be injured too!"

The surrounding crowd stared blankly, unable to understand.

Elder Zhu, standing above, said indifferently, "They died once within the Spirit Formation. They were killed by the spirit beasts until both body and soul were obliterated, which is why they came out early."

Upon hearing this, the people around them understood.

Soon, more disciples were kicked out one after another. They looked utterly miserable, and many even had their clothes torn apart, as though they had endured a life-and-death battle.

Some emerged in a daze, and it was unclear whether their minds had been overly depleted.

As more and more people came out—

The crowd around them shook their heads and sighed.

For many of those who emerged were sons and daughters of imperial nobles and great clans.

Their talents were not bad either!

Every one of them was at least at the Seventh Layer of the Blood-Quenching Realm, and they also carried trump cards prepared by their imperial houses or clans.

Yet they still came out in such a sorry state!

"After all this time, is there not even one person who has passed the fifth stage?" Elder Zhu's gaze turned cold. Somewhat dissatisfied, he felt that this batch of disciples was far too weak.

The Spirit Formation had ten stages in total. Passing five stages could only be considered barely passing.

Passing seven stages counted as elite, while passing nine stages meant one was absolutely outstanding. Entering the inner sect would be as certain as nails driven into wood, and one might even be qualified to contend for a core disciple position!

Among these disciples who had been blasted out early, not a single one had passed the fifth stage!

The Cultivation Arts Pavilion elder had an interested look in his eyes. Lin Feng had not come out yet—he wondered which stage Lin Feng had reached.

Among the million registered disciples, more and more people emerged, batch after batch. Many had fallen within the first five stages.

Such strength made Elder Zhu frown continuously. He said, "Those who have not passed the fifth stage have failed outright. They need not participate in the next round of assessment."

Everyone who heard this had a drastic change in expression. Their faces were pale, or filled with unwillingness.

But no one dared voice an objection.

The one who had said this was a Venerable of the Limitless Sacred Land! Wouldn't defying the words of such a peerless figure be courting death?

Batch after batch of disciples left dejectedly.

Just then—

Boom!

Lin Feng stepped out of the Spirit Formation. His expression was calm, and there was not a trace of battle upon his body. Though he wore ordinary clothes, his bearing was exceptional, truly extraordinary!

Seeing him, the Cultivation Arts Pavilion elder was slightly stunned.

He came out at this point?

Then Lin Feng's progress through the trial did not seem particularly impressive!

After all, if he had reached the tenth stage, it would certainly have taken quite some time.

To come out in such a short time, Lin Feng had likely only reached around the sixth or seventh stage.

The Cultivation Arts Pavilion elder inwardly shook his head. Sure enough, he had expected too much. This person had talent, but who in the Limitless Sacred Land was not a genius? The geniuses within the sacred land were all chosen from one in ten thousand, and Lin Feng was not all that remarkable among them!

However, Elder Zhu's expression instantly froze!

He looked at Lin Feng, his eyes filled with uncertainty and astonishment!

"Hm? He, he... how come I don't recognize this kid?" Elder Zhu's words startled the Cultivation Arts Pavilion elder.

"Elder Zhu, what is it? Is there something wrong with him?" the Cultivation Arts Pavilion elder asked.

Elder Zhu took a deep breath. "This kid has passed the tenth stage! What a surprise. I thought only those three boys could do it, but an unexpected person has appeared! Is he an ordinary registered disciple? I never expected him to pass the tenth stage as well! I just don't know what method he used!"

"Did he sweep through the spirit beasts head-on, or did he resort to tricks and leave the formation early by avoiding battle?"

This was extremely important.

If he had swept through the spirit beasts within the stages, it meant that his combat power against those in the same realm had reached a terrifying level.

In previous disciple assessments, some people could also pass all ten stages through extreme movement techniques and clever tactics. However, the spirit beasts they killed were few and far between.

Elder Zhu did not think highly of such opportunistic methods.

That was why the assessment had another set of data.

Namely, how many spirit beasts had been killed in total!

Beside him, after learning that Lin Feng had actually passed all ten stages, the Cultivation Arts Pavilion elder's expression immediately changed!

The tenth stage! This kid had actually done it?!

Moreover, his speed was clearly faster than that of Chen Yunjing and the other two geniuses!
