When he saw that the projection guarding the seventh trial was the young Ninth Elder, one of the top talents of the Inner City, Bai Yi had thoroughly outclassed him from beginning to end.
It ended with a single, utterly unsurprising sword strike that killed him.
The Inner City disciples watching were shaken, and even Xue Feng, who was overseeing this Secret Realm trial, felt a stir in his heart.
An elder was a mighty figure standing at the very summit of Domain-Suppressing City, second only to the city lord.

Every one of them was at Spirit Transformation Great Perfection, and their combat strength far surpassed that of others at the same level.
In their respective eras, they had been virtually invincible figures who dominated their generations.
Even when their combat strength as youths was used for the trial projections, it usually only amounted to the Early Golden Core Stage.
