Time passed little by little in the ancient battlefield.
Lu Ren made no rush to kill the Battle Souls. Instead, he kept weaving through their attacks.
Saber light, sword flashes, spear shadows, and palm imprints came hurtling at him from every direction.
Every attack carried Grand Dao True Intent at the Return to Simplicity level.
Lu Ren blocked and dodged, using Chaos Dao Contemplation to study how those currents of Grand Dao True Intent flowed.
The golden Crystal Luster on his body cracked again and again, then healed just as quickly.
The Chaos Great Dao Power within him shook violently with each collision.
This battle was perilous in the extreme.
"Grand Dao True Intent at the Return to Simplicity level seems to leave no trace, but its traces are everywhere!"
Lu Ren's understanding of Chaos Dao Contemplation continued to deepen.
Even his ability to deduce Grand Dao True Intent improved tremendously.
After all, the ten thousand Daos shared one root. Opportunities to temper himself by witnessing so many currents of Grand Dao True Intent, all at the Return to Simplicity level, were rare.
Soon, the hour was nearly over.
Boom!
At the last moment, five hundred Great Dao Spirit Weapons swept out from Lu Ren's body and struck at one Battle Soul.
Bang!
The Battle Soul shattered beneath Myriad Weapons Slaughter.
The next instant, every Battle Soul around him slowly faded away.
The Ancient Elder's voice rang out.
"Lu Ren killed one Battle Soul!"
"He passed the Source-Breaking Pass!"
"He did not enter the rankings!"
Lu Ren's expression remained unchanged at the result.
To him, the greatest gain from this trial was not the number of Battle Souls he had killed. It was the chance to temper Chaos Dao Contemplation and Chaos Heaven Burial against their Grand Dao True Intent
