"The seventh level! He had to hold on!"
Liu Ruoxue clenched her fists, tense to the extreme.
If Lu Ren failed to enter the Ninth Revolution Extreme Realm, Blackwater City Lord, Ten Thousand Swords City Lord, and the others would likely flee at once.
When that happened, she and Lu Ren would be in grave danger.
Naturally, Blackwater City Lord and the others also hoped Lu Ren could enter the Ninth Revolution Extreme Realm. For Lu Ren's sake, they had already offended Xuantian City Lord. If Lu Ren could not even enter the Eighth Revolution Extreme Realm, then he would not be worth cultivating.
"Hmph, how could breaking into the Ninth Revolution Extreme Realm be so easy?"
Xuantian City Lord snorted coldly.
Blood River City Lord, Heavenly Fight City Lord, and the others likewise did not believe Lu Ren could break into the Ninth Revolution Extreme Realm.
Inside the Emperor Pagoda!
At that moment, seven humanoid phantoms were already seated above Lu Ren's head. Yet as their number increased, the pressure transmitted through the void descended upon them, causing the seven phantoms to begin twisting, as if they might scatter at any moment.
At the same time, Lu Ren felt an intense pain. It actually spread from within his body, permeating his spirit, flesh, and even his sword momentum.
Lu Ren inwardly cried out that things were bad. He abruptly circulated the Star Scripture, drawing in the surrounding spiritual energy and pouring it into the seven phantoms, causing them to condense once more.
Yet that painful sensation did not fade. Instead, it grew even more severe.
Still, such pain was nothing to Lu Ren. He gritted his teeth and endured it.
Very soon, the time it took to burn an incense stick passed, and the eighth phantom gathered into form.
