Time slowly passed!
Only one year remained before the ten-year assessment ended.
The sword immortal phantoms in the Sword Dao world had reached the strength of the Ninth Shattered Realm.
Every flash of sword light was enough to gravely wound a Ninth Shattered Realm expert.
And Lu Ren had spent years being treated like a sword target.
"One year left. What exactly is this assessment testing me on?"
Lu Ren's state of mind had begun to waver.
He had undergone all kinds of assessments, many lasting far longer than ten years.
But this was his father's test. If he passed it, he could at least earn his father's approval and fulfill his father's dying wish.
Otherwise, he could only accept failure and leave for beyond the domain.
"I think I understand. This test isn't asking me to comprehend one Sword Dao, or every Sword Dao, or even to fuse them. It's asking me to comprehend an entirely new Sword Dao!"
A brilliant divine light burst from Lu Ren's eyes.
He had cultivated his own Path of Attack and Kill, the Buddha's Wrath Sky Slaying Dao, and could fuse it into the Buddha's Wrath Sky Slaying Sword Dao.
But that was clearly not the strongest Sword Dao. The strongest Sword Dao would never come from comprehending someone else's path. It came from using the roads others had walked to comprehend a wholly new one.
"I cultivate the Chaos Law. I'll bring all these Sword Daos together and nurture the Chaos Sword Dao!"
Lu Ren's gaze sharpened, and a faint smile appeared on his face.
This time, he stopped being a sword target. Facing the sword light hurtling at him from every direction, he did not retreat. He met it with his fists, striking again and again.
Every clash drove him back,
