Entering the Lesser Holy Realm for the first time, touching the Holy Thought?!

Trial Room No. 1… The battle continued.

After shielding himself, Tian Fu Great Emperor smiled faintly:

"Kid, break this shield, and this Emperor will consider you victorious!"

With that, he clasped his hands behind his back, showing no intention of attacking.

Seeing this, Su Bai's eyes narrowed, and he maintained his posture, continuing to charge forward!

His Sword Moves Nine Heavens was different from before!

This was a genuine SSS-Rank Skill!

And it was an incredibly powerful SSS-Rank Skill rewarded to him by the System!

Not only did the skill have a high base multiplier, but also—

It had a chance to ignore 50% of defense!

Furthermore, there were so many Clones assisting in its release!

Therefore, this attack… its destructive power was definitely immense!

Just as Su Bai was about to reach the front of the shield, a strange light suddenly flickered around him, and his speed increased by more than double!

"Sword Moves Nine Heavens!!!"

"Explode for me!!!"

With that, he directly swung his sword at Great Emperor's Divine Shield from close range!

This time, he gambled everything!

He poured almost all the Spiritual Qi in his body into it!

If it didn't succeed… then he would accept his fate!

At worst, he would just try again!

After all, Tian Fu Great Emperor said that as long as he broke the shield, he would win.

As Su Bai unleashed his full-power sword strike, the seemingly indestructible Great Emperor's Divine Shield instantly rippled.

Seeing this, Tian Fu Great Emperor's originally relaxed and casual expression suddenly changed, a hint of incredible surprise flashing in his eyes.

"Crack!" With a loud sound, the once indestructible Great Emperor's Divine Shield couldn't even last two seconds before being shattered by five sword auras.

In an instant, tiny cracks appeared on it.

Su Bai was overjoyed, and seizing the momentum, he forced out the last bit of hidden Spiritual Qi in his body, converging it onto his sword.

"Crack!"

The cracks spread rapidly, and finally, the entire shield shattered with a crash.

Then, the remaining sword auras followed through… critical hit! defense penetration! fatal! -85693458

critical hit! defense penetration! fatal! -95654458

critical hit! defense penetration! fatal! -35793468

critical hit! defense penetration! fatal! -64853869

critical hit! defense penetration! fatal! -55648965

…Due to exhaustion of Spiritual Qi, Su Bai knelt on one knee, gasping for breath.

Looking up again, he found that… the great emperor phantom had disappeared!

Seeing this, Su Bai subconsciously mumbled:

"Did he leave or was he insta-killed?!"

However, after several seconds, there was no reply from the surroundings.

Shaking his head, Su Bai chuckled self-deprecatingly:

"Heh heh, the Great Emperor must have left…"

"After all, the shield has been broken…"

…Imperial Capital.

Great Emperor Pavilion.

Backyard.

Inside a certain Cultivation room, a figure with an extremely terrifying aura slowly opened its eyes, a look of extreme complexity flashing within them.

This person was the true body of the great emperor phantom from earlier—

Tian Fu Great Emperor!

"Whew—"

"This Emperor was actually insta-killed!"

"This brat's progress speed is truly terrifying!"

"Alas! There's nothing to be done!"

"I hope this is a good thing!"

After a light sigh, he closed his eyes again.

Continuing to Cultivate!

…Trial Room No. 1.

At this moment, a series of System prompts suddenly sounded in Su Bai's ears:

"~Ding, congratulations, you have successfully passed the eighth trial!"

"~Ding, you will receive a top-tier buff this time!"

"~Ding, congratulations, you have received the enhancement buff — [Never Give Up]. When a battle is judged as a challenge failure, immediately restore your state to optimal condition, while deducting 20% of your maximum health limit, and converting 20% of the deducted health into Strength, Intelligence, Spirit, and Stamina attributes! (Excluding Physique value)"

"~Ding, congratulations, you have successfully challenged an eighth-stage Saint Ascension Realm opponent!"

"~Ding, congratulations, you have received the hidden reward [Spiritual Qi Infusion]"

Hearing the System prompts, Su Bai revealed a satisfied smile.

This buff… is quite incredible!

Subsequently, Su Bai no longer hesitated and quickly sat down cross-legged.

In just a moment, a large amount of Spiritual Qi surged towards him frantically—

"~Ding, Spiritual Qi enters the body, experience +254680"

"~Ding, Spiritual Qi enters the body, experience +273659"

"~Ding, Spiritual Qi enters the body, experience +296797"

"~Ding, Spiritual Qi enters the body, experience +313567"

"~Ding, Spiritual Qi enters the body, experience +345645"

"~Ding, Spiritual Qi enters the body, experience +365748"

…Approximately an hour later, Su Bai slowly opened his eyes.

At this moment, his face was filled with pleasant surprise.

Because, after this wave of Cultivation—

He had already risen to Level 650!

Which was the Sixth Stage Middle Stage.

Also known as—the Minor Saint Realm!

Moreover, he was surprised to discover—

He had actually touched upon "Holy Sense"!!!

In Su Bai's perception, he seemed to have touched a "thought" from within his body, this "thought" was real yet elusive.

And it was not the same as what he had mastered in his previous life.

This trace of "Holy Sense" was like a faint glimmer hidden in the clouds,

Flickering in and out of existence.

Because it was only a "thought," it had no physical form, yet there seemed to be wisps of Qi spreading within his body.

This "Holy Sense" seemed to carry an ancient and mysterious power, fundamentally different from what he had previously grasped.

It was both serene and profound, like a tranquil deep pool.

When Su Bai tried to capture this trace of "Holy Sense," he felt it had an inexplicable guiding nature, like a faint lamp in the darkness, weak but able to point him in a vague direction.

This direction… seemed to point towards a higher Realm, a stronger power???

Su Bai expressed his confusion about this.

What the heck!

Didn't they say that Holy Sense was unique?!

What the heck!

Wasn't "Holy Sense" related to an Awakened One's Soul?!

How was this different from the one in his previous life?!

Could it be… his Soul… had changed?!
