334: Chapter 344 The Spirit of a Rogue Cultivator! Domain...Opens!

"Hum—!"

Just as Su Jin was about to step into the light gate of the Trial of the Sword, a figure exuding a bloody aura blocked his path like a ghost, obstructing his way completely.

"Kid, I admit that your comprehension of the Sword Dao is formidable, and your talent is the best I have ever seen in my life."

This person blocking the way was none other than Lu Ming, the Blood Sword Sect Elder who had failed to incite trouble earlier.

He stared at Su Jin's face, which was obscured by a bamboo hat, a flash of greed in his eyes: "However, I have been stuck at the fifth level of the Golden Immortal Realm for tens of thousands of years. I really need the token in your hand to find an opportunity!"

Lu Ming took a deep breath, his tone softening slightly, carrying a hypocritical, consultative tone: "If you are willing to hand the token to me, I can swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao. When the Trial of the Sword opens next time, my Blood Sword Sect will definitely guarantee you the qualification to enter. How about it?"

Facing this high-sounding justification for robbery.

Su Jin's bamboo hat was pulled very low, making it impossible for others to see his expression, but he did not draw his sword, only speaking slowly in a voice so calm it had not a ripple.

"Your Sword Heart is already dirty, and your Sword Intent is in disarray."

Su Jin's voice was not loud, but it clearly spread across the surroundings: "Even if you really went in, it would be a waste of the fortune there."

"What did you say?!"

The hypocrisy on Lu Ming's face vanished instantly, his expression becoming extremely ugly, and uncontrollable killing intent surged in his eyes: "You are merely a junior who has just achieved a Breakthrough to the first level of the Golden Immortal Realm! I am trying to persuade you nicely; since I gave you face, do you really think you're something special?!"

"Fine! Since you refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit, don't blame me for bullying the young with my seniority. Today, I will let you, this so-called Genius, die in the cradle!"

"Boom!"

Lu Ming's blood Qi erupted, and the terrifying pressure of the fifth level of the Golden Immortal Realm was released without reservation. The blood-colored longsword in his hand let out a harsh hiss.

However, just at the moment he was preparing to strike.

"Swish, swish, swish!"

From the crowd of Loose Cultivators not far away, seven or eight figures suddenly flew out, blocking in front of Su Jin without hesitation!

"Do Sects deserve to ride roughshod over our heads?!"

A one-armed Loose Cultivator exuding the aura of the third level of the Golden Immortal Realm shouted angrily: "Fellow Daoist, rest assured and enter the trial! Let these hypocritical Sect dogs see that the backbone of our Sword Cultivators is absolutely no worse than theirs!"

"That's right!" Another white-haired old swordsman also drew the iron sword at his waist, laughing heroically.

"Fellow Daoist, you possess such Heaven-Defying talent; you should wholeheartedly pursue the Peak of Sword Dao! We are the ones who cannot stand the dirty and ugly faces of these Sects, which is why we decided to Cultivate alone!"

The Sword Domain is very different from other Star Domains.

Because almost all the locals here are Sword Cultivators.

Although the top Sects have absolute resources and deterrent power, in the bones of Sword Cultivators, most have the pride of moving forward without hesitation and never bending.

If Sects are groups that band together for profit, then Loose Cultivators are more like a group of wandering knights who uphold the spirit of chivalry.

They might not be able to compete with Sects for resources, but what they Cultivate is the heart, the Sword Intent of having a clear conscience!

Looking at these Loose Cultivator swordsmen blocking in front of him, Su Jin's heart, which had been as still as an ancient well, felt a trace of emotion.

These people were not that they didn't want the token, but in the face of absolute temptation for profit, they were able to hold onto their original heart, and even step forward for him, a stranger they had never met... Based on this alone, this Sword Domain could not be considered completely rotten.

"Thank you for your kindness, Seniors."

Su Jin reached out, gently patted the shoulder of the one-armed swordsman blocking the very front, and shook his head: "Since he came for me, let me resolve it myself."

"Fellow Daoist! You have just achieved a Breakthrough to the first level of the Golden Immortal Realm, do not be impulsive!"

"That's right! That old dog is at the fifth level of the Golden Immortal Realm; you are no match for him! As long as you can walk out of the trial alive, with your potential, you will definitely be able to trample him under your feet. Why fight for a moment of anger?!"

The Loose Cultivator Golden Immortals who had stepped forward anxiously tried to persuade him.

Su Jin could naturally feel the goodwill of these Sword Cultivators, but he did not retreat a single step, and his tone did not even have the slightest fluctuation.

His next sentence made all the persuading Loose Cultivators fall silent instantly.

"Everyone, I am a Sword Cultivator."

Su Jin slowly pressed his hand onto the hilt of the sword wrapped in golden silkworm silk cloth at his waist, his voice cold and resolute: "My Sword Dao does not allow me to retreat a single step."

Hearing this, Lu Ming was stunned for a moment, then laughed as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world: "Hahahaha! What a 'does not allow me to retreat'! Since you want to seek death, I will fulfill your wish!"

Originally, he was still having a headache because this group of Loose Cultivators was in the way, but now it seemed that this straw-rain-cape-wearing swordsman had also cultivated his brain into a mess!

High above the Nine Heavens in the distance.

The Saint powerhouses of the various top Sects watched this scene, also frowning and shaking their heads one after another.

"Qingfeng, I remember when you suppressed your Realm and came out of the Trial of the Sword, you soared all the way from the Heavenly Immortal Realm, ascending to the fourth level of the Golden Immortal Realm, right?" The Grand Elder of the Spirit Sword Villa asked, stroking his beard.

"Yes." Qingfeng nodded while holding his sword box, his eyes filled with reminiscence: "In the Trial of the Sword, the more Sword Intent baptism you endure, the greater the harvest."

The Grand Elder sighed: "It is a pity for this kid. His spirit is too high; what is too rigid is easily broken. Even if the Sword Dao one Cultivates is indomitable, one must still assess the situation. Knowing that the opponent's Realm is far higher than one's own and still charging in, this is not upholding the Sword Dao, but being a foolish brute!"

Clearly, in the eyes of these Saint powerhouses, with a gap of four Realms, Su Jin's behavior of clashing head-on was no different from throwing an egg against a rock.

Below.

"Heaven-Surging Blood River, die for me!"

Lu Ming did not give Su Jin any chance to catch his breath; he used his strongest trump card right from the start!

The temptation of profit had already driven him into madness. That blood-colored longsword transformed into a surging river of blood, carrying an evil Sword Intent that corroded everything, and it enveloped Su Jin from above!

Facing such a terrifying killing move.

Su Jin stood in place, still not drawing the sword wrapped in golden silk, only slowly raising his left hand.

Su Jin suddenly clenched his five fingers into a void grip.

"Domain—Open!"

"Boom—!!!"

Accompanied by Su Jin's low shout, the Void Realm of the entire Linchuan Realm seemed to have all sound drained away in that instant!

A water-ink space, purely interwoven from black and white, several thousand zhang large, descended with a boom, centering on Su Jin like the abyss-like maw of an ancient Vicious Beast, swallowing Lu Ming's aggressive Blood River Sword Qi!

Inside that black and white Domain, Lu Ming's originally incredibly violent blood-colored Sword Intent was like clear water dripped into ink, instantly assimilated, crushed, and dissipated into nothingness!

"This... what the hell is this?!"

Lu Ming, who was at the center of the Domain, felt as if he were trapped in a quagmire weighing hundreds of millions of jin. Not only was his Sword Intent, of which he was proud, completely stripped away, but even the Immortal power within his body stopped circulating!

That extreme sense of heavy pressure made even lifting a finger a luxury!

This was precisely the effect after Su Jin integrated the newly acquired Heavy Sword Dao into his Domain.

However, those who were even more shocked were the onlookers outside!

High above the Nine Heavens.

The Saints who had originally been aloof, shaking their heads and sighing at Su Jin, now looked as if they had been strangled by someone; the expressions on their faces were even more exaggerated than if they had seen a ghost!

The Grand Elder of the Saint Realm from the Spirit Sword Villa was so out of composure that he grabbed his gray beard, not even realizing he had pulled out a few strands!

He pointed his trembling finger at the black and white interwoven space below, his voice shaking.

"Domain?! He just achieved a Breakthrough to the first level of the Golden Immortal Realm, where did he obtain a Domain?!"

"I have Cultivated for a full three million years, and I still haven't comprehended a Domain even after stepping into the Saint Realm!!"
