The sound lingered, echoing endlessly within the dimly lit hall.
The voice that had just rang out fell into an eerie silence after Ji Zining finished speaking, and no one spoke again.
Ji Zining and the others sensed this situation, their spiritual energy surging within them, ready to strike at any moment.
They can respond immediately to any abnormality!
After three breaths of silence in the hall, a voice carrying a hint of laughter rang out again.
"If you want to see me, it's simple. Pass all the tests, come to the main hall, and you will see me."
"The test consists of four stages. Each stage you pass will reward you based on your performance; these rewards may be treasures or legacies."
"Of course, if it perishes during the test, then it's perished, and there's no way to bring it back to life."
"Getting back to the main topic, let's begin the first test: The Black Demon Chaos!"
"Good luck, little ones! I'll be waiting for you in the main hall!"
There are four levels in total. The first level Black Demon Chaos?!"
Ji Zining and the others tensed up and subconsciously looked at the surrounding stone pillars.
The only way to connect this dark hall to the Black Demon Lord is through the Black Demon carved on the top of these stone pillars!
"Boom!"
As if in response to Ji Zining and the others' guesses, the surrounding stone pillars began to tremble violently.
The Black Demon carved above emitted waves of evil black energy, and a fierce glint appeared in its previously lifeless pupils.
The next instant, roars echoed throughout the dark hall.
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
"..."
Amidst ferocious roars, terrifying-looking Black Demon emerged from the stone pillars, quickly occupying the area around the hall.
These Black Demon demons had incredibly solid bodies, without the slightest trace of carving. They were like real Black Demon descended to earth!
What concerned Ji Zining and the others most was the aura surrounding them.
Saint King Realm!
Every single one of the Black Demon was at the Saint King Realm level!
The one with the strongest aura even reached the astonishing Eighth Level of the Saint King Realm!
Ji Zining and the others exchanged glances, their faces showing an unprecedented solemnity.
There are at least thirty of these Black Demon; we're probably in for a fierce battle!
With a thought, Ji Zining summoned the Void-Soaring Sword in her hand and said in a deep voice.
"Everyone, unleash your full power! Hold nothing back!"
"Clang!"
Before she finished speaking, Ji Zining's longsword was already drawn.
" Heaven-Slaying Sword-Drawing Technique!"
"Roar!"
A Black Demon at the Second Level of the Saint King Realm had just let out a roar and was about to charge at Ji Zining.
But just before it charged forward, a flash of sword light pierced through its body.
The roar stopped abruptly, and the Black Demon, which had been exuding a terrifying aura, exploded into nothingness.
An endless Sword Qi suddenly appeared where it had just stood, cutting through space.
As the Black Demon dissipated, the carving of a Black Demon, which had previously been blank on the stone pillar where the Black Demon had emerged, reappeared.
Ji Zining's sword strike caused the many Black Demon demons, who exuded a terrifying aura, to harden their expressions and swarm towards the group.
Inside the dark hall, a great battle was about to break out.
Xiao Jing and his companions grinned and unleashed their full fighting power.
"I will obey His Divine Son Hall's decree!"
"Clang!"
"Buzz!"
"Bang!"
Xiao Jing and Li Chang'an, one wielding a saber and the other a sword, charged towards the Black Demon who exuded the aura of the Eighth Level of the Saint King Realm.
Lin Shan and Qingshuang were not far behind, blocking all the Black Demon above the Sixth Level of the Saint King Realm.
Even when outnumbered, the two were still able to handle the situation with ease.
Qing Tan followed beside Qingshuang and delivered a fatal blow to the Black Demon, who had been severely injured by Lin Shan and Qingshuang.
Ji Zining swung her Void-Soaring Sword, leaving a sword mark on Black Demon at the Fifth Level of the Saint King Realm.
When her first attack failed, Ji Zining decisively retreated.
As if sensing something Ji Zining glanced at the Void-Soaring Sword in her hand, and her expression couldn't help but tighten.
The once gleaming blade of the Void-Soaring Sword was now shrouded in a layer of black light.
Because of these dark lights, the power of the Void-Soaring Sword was greatly weakened.
Ji Zining could even sense the Void-Soaring Sword silently mourning as it was being eroded by the black light!
Seeing this, Ji Zining raised her head again to look at the Black Demon.
These Black Demon truly live up to their reputation as a terrifying race that wreaked havoc on the True Martial Dao Domain.
The demonic energy they emitted was actually able to damage the Saint Rank Supreme Grade Void-Soaring Sword.
This is still a fake Black Demon, merely a figment of its imagination created by the carving. How terrifying would it be if the real Black Demon were to descend?
No wonder it took all the powerful Great Emperor to join forces to drive away and suppress the Black Demon; with such bizarre abilities, it was indeed difficult to deal with.
Taking a deep breath, Ji Zining voice.
"Everyone be careful not to be corrupted by the demonic energy; it's strange!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Ji Zining moved her mind and stored the Void-Soaring Sword inside her dantian to nurture it.
If we continue fighting with the Void-Soaring Sword Void-Soaring Sword, it will suffer serious damage.
Now is the time to use that sword!
The Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon, the Immortal Immortal-Slaying Sword, which I haven't used since I started checking in!
Upon hearing Ji Zining's words, Xiao Jing and the others all assessed their own condition.
Sure enough, they discovered a layer of black light corroding their bodies and magical artifacts; they hadn't noticed it before because the battle had been too intense.
Only now, seeing it, do I realize that these dark lights are weakening them!
"Clang!"
An unprecedented sword cry suddenly resounded within the dark hall.
As the sword's cry rang out, terrifying and ferocious Sword Qi suddenly appeared within the hall.
Besides the Sword Qi, there was also a faint, majestic, and pure imperial aura emanating from it.
Sensing these terrifying Sword Qi, Xiao Jing and the others subconsciously looked in the direction where Ji Zining was.
The aura of these Sword Qi energies emanated from Ji Zining!
And what about those imperial mights?
How could an imperial might possibly appear here?!
Ji Zining stroked the Immortal-Slaying Sword in her hand and gave a word of praise.
"What a fine sword!"
"Then follow me to kill the enemy!"
Looking around at the Black Demon who were being forced back by the Sword Qi, Ji Zining her teeth.
" Sword Slashes the Eight Desolations!"
"Clang!"
With a swing of the Immortal-Slaying Sword in his hand, unparalleled Sword Qi energy filled the entire dark hall.
