776: Chapter 775 Psychological Changes!!

"Pfft—!"

Below, after the Five Elements Wonderful Tree was destroyed, Qin Yan also spat out a mouthful of blood.

The Five Elements Wonderful Tree was connected to his lifeblood; with the tree destroyed, he suffered a backlash—although it was not a fatal injury, it caused his Qi to become chaotic and his lifeblood to surge.

"The power of this strike must be at the level of an average Grandmaster Peak!"

Qin Yan was secretly shocked, his eyes full of solemnity.

One must know that his current Five Elements Heaven-Sealing Seal is capable of trapping an average Middle Stage Grandmaster expert.

Yet it was obliterated so casually by the opponent's Saber Qi, failing to block it for even an instant.

Its strength absolutely far exceeds an average Middle Stage Grandmaster!

During the brief moment of Qin Yan's contemplation, the Destruction Battle Blade in the air trembled again.

The black battle blade gave a slight shiver, the patterns on the blade flashed, and a terrifying destruction aura surged from the blade.

Immediately after, another pitch-black Saber Qi was slashed out, moving at an astonishing speed, leaving a black trajectory in the air as it struck straight toward the Dark Altar!

The Dark Altar sensed danger, and its black light flared brilliantly.

Darkness Power surged from the altar, forming layer upon layer of black protective shields around it, dense and overlapping.

However, in the face of an absolute disparity in strength, no matter how the Dark Altar defended, it was ultimately unable to escape the fate of being destroyed.

Wherever the destruction Saber Qi passed, the black protective shields shattered layer by layer, as if they were made of paper.

Under the impact of the Saber Qi, the dark runes instantly dimmed and dissipated into wisps of black smoke.

The Saber Qi plunged straight into the Dark Altar, black light intertwining with black light, indistinguishable from each other.

"Boom—!!!"

With a loud bang, the Dark Altar dissipated!

Qin Yan's body trembled violently, his face turned even paler, and another wisp of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

The Dark Altar was a product of his Spirit Manifestation, closely connected to his Mental Energy.

With the altar destroyed, his mental world also suffered a shock, causing his head to ache as if it were splitting and his Mental Energy to become chaotic.

Immediately, this Destruction Battle Blade actually arrived above Qin Yan's head!

The black battle blade hovered above Qin Yan, tip pointing downwards, hilt pointing upwards.

On the blade, black patterns flowed ceaselessly, emitting a dim, dark light.

An immense pressure surged from the battle blade, as if the sky were collapsing, pressing down on Qin Yan!

Qin Yan instantly felt his body sink, as if he were carrying a giant mountain on his back.

His legs bent slightly, his back hunched a little, and his breathing became difficult.

Every inch of his muscle was trembling, every bone was groaning, and every cell was enduring immense pressure.

Qin Yan gripped the moyuan spirit weapon tightly with both hands, the spear tip propped against the ground, the spear shaft braced in front of him, so that he wouldn't collapse onto the ground!

The moyuan spirit weapon was stuck against the hilt of the Destruction Battle Blade, like a pillar supporting his body.

As time passed, this pressure grew stronger and stronger.

The pressure increased, and Qin Yan's endurance was being pushed to the limit little by little.

Drops of sweat flowed down his forehead, sliding along his cheeks, and falling onto the huge blade below.

The pressure was so great that even moving a single finger had become a luxury for Qin Yan.

But Qin Yan did not give up. He gritted his teeth and persisted!

His teeth were gnashing, his face flushed red from the exertion, and his eyes were full of stubbornness and unyielding resolve.

He just stood there, holding the long spear with both hands, the tip propped against the ground, the shaft supporting his body, like an ancient pine standing firm in a storm.

He had now realized that the artifact spirit was not testing some kind of destruction affinity at all.

How could a test for destruction affinity use such powerful force?

This was not a test of affinity at all, but a test of something else.

However, as for what this final stage was testing, he couldn't guess.

He could only tell that the artifact spirit had no intention of killing him.

Because if the artifact spirit wanted to kill him, he would have been dead long ago.

With the artifact spirit's strength, it could kill him with a single thought;

With the power of the Destruction Battle Blade, it could destroy him with a single slash.

But the artifact spirit did not do so.

"It seems that for now, I can only grit my teeth and persist. I hope that artifact spirit keeps its word; if it says to persist for three days, then it will be three days."

Qin Yan thought to himself.

High in the air, the thick destruction aura condensed into tangible pressure, surging toward Qin Yan below in wave after wave.

The pressure was like a mountain, like an ocean, like the sky. Although Qin Yan's figure was slightly hunched under the pressure, his back remained straight, his head held high, and his gaze remained firm!

...

The artifact spirit in the shadows, seeing this scene, was left with nothing but complete shock.

It could not imagine how a Rank 6 Peak Martial Artist could possess such terrifying combat power!

It had lived for hundreds of years and seen countless Prodigies, but it had never seen a Rank 6 Peak Martial Artist capable of possessing such terrifying combat power!

It had originally thought that by using Grandmaster-level combat power, it could steadily suppress Qin Yan and force him into a desperate situation.

A desperate situation is where a person's character is best revealed—whether they shrink back from the battle or grit their teeth and persist; whether they complain about others or forge ahead; whether they give up on themselves or never give up.

This was its final test for Qin Yan.

However, an accident occurred.

The combat power of an early-stage Grandmaster simply couldn't take the opponent down; it wasn't even the opponent's match!

In desperation, it raised the strength of the Destruction Battle Blade to the Middle Stage, only to find that it hadn't even broken the opponent's Five Elements Heaven-Sealing Seal!

As soon as the Five Elements Heaven-Sealing Seal appeared, the Destruction Battle Blade was directly sealed.

Once again helpless, it raised the strength of the Destruction Battle Blade to the Late Stage, only then did it firmly gain the upper hand.

The strength of a Late Stage Grandmaster was finally able to suppress Qin Yan's Five Elements Wonderful Tree and Dark Altar.

But this was only suppression; it still couldn't easily defeat him.

In the end, the strength of the Destruction Battle Blade was raised to the Peak, only then did it instantly kill the phantom summoned by the opponent!

A Rank 6 Peak Martial Artist forced it to use the power of a Grandmaster Peak—if this matter were to spread, I'm afraid no one would believe it.

But this was the fact, it was what it had seen with its own eyes.

"If this guy breaks through to the Grandmaster level, wouldn't even average Late Stage Grandmasters be no match for him?"

The artifact spirit thought to itself, its eyes full of shock and emotion.

It was even starting to doubt whether the other party would really be interested in its master's Legacy.

After all, its master Cultivated the saber, while the other party Cultivated the spear.

Sabers and spears, although both are weapons, have different paths and different directions.

"However, even if this point doesn't fit, the destruction aura and the Spirit Array Master's Legacy should still be quite helpful to this guy, Qin Yan."

The artifact spirit thought. The destruction aura could nourish Qin Yan's Great Destruction Spear Intent.

The spirit Array could enhance Qin Yan's combat power.

Both of these would be of great help to Qin Yan.

The artifact spirit's thoughts at this moment had unconsciously undergone a change.
