340: Chapter 350 If you dare to cross that line, you will not leave the Sword Domain alive!

Because there was no fear whatsoever deep within his heart.

Upon discovering that pulling out the longsword on the 51st level yielded no Sword Intent or enlightenment, Su Jin casually inserted the sword back into the crevice of the bluestone.

Afterwards, he decisively took a step forward, continuing toward the 52nd step.

The moment he reached out and grasped the hilt of the sword on the 52nd level, a massive repulsive pressure immediately surged back from the sword.

If this level of pressure were directed at a Cultivator who had just entered the Golden Immortal Realm, they would likely have been forced to let go in an instant.

But Su Jin, beneath his straw raincoat, revealed a satisfied smile amidst this pressure.

"That's more like it!"

Withstanding the pressure, Su Jin slowly pulled the sword out.

This kind of resistant pressure was truly worthy of the name of the Heavenly Ladder trial!

And the Sword Dao Law contained within this sword was exactly the nourishment he urgently needed to condense his Origin!

Meanwhile, outside the Secret Realm of the trial, in the sky above the Linchuan Realm.

The Grand Elder of Spirit Sword Villa, who had been staring at the projection on the sky screen, suddenly pointed at the projected image, his voice tinged with the schadenfreude of someone watching a show:

"Qing Feng! You guessed wrong! Look quickly, that kid in the straw raincoat has crossed the 51st level!"

The Grand Elder felt somewhat smug. After all, Qing Feng, known as the strongest Sword Cultivator in a million years, was usually extremely accurate in his judgment of people; this was the first time he had misjudged someone!

The expression on Qing Feng's face did not change in the slightest; he calmly said, his face impassive.

"He has only just broken through the Golden Immortal Realm. Being able to ignore the Heart Demon barrier must mean he possesses some rare supreme treasure specifically designed to suppress illusions. He just happened to be a blind cat bumping into a dead mouse, suppressing this trial. But the trial tests one's true foundation; his Realm is right there, he won't go far."

Although he appeared calm on the surface, Qing Feng couldn't help but curse inwardly: "Damn it! How on earth did he do that?! I've lived for so long, and in the Sword Domain, I've never seen someone who just broke through to the Golden Immortal Realm be able to ascend to the 51st level in one go!"

"Makes sense... External objects are, after all, just external objects. Let's watch that girl, Mu Linglong. From her state, I believe she is about to break through to the 71st level."

The Grand Elder naturally knew that Qing Feng was too proud to admit he had misjudged, and in his own heart, he actually also believed that Su Jin had just been lucky.

Just as the Grand Elder's words fell.

"Zheng—!"

In the projection, Mu Linglong, who was at the very forefront of the Heavenly Ladder, let out a delicate shout. Her hands exerted force suddenly, and she actually managed to pull out the longsword on the 71st level, which was as heavy as a star!

She was drenched in sweat, her beautiful face pale as paper. She slumped onto the steps, losing all composure, gasping for breath, and even the hands gripping the sword were uncontrollably spasming and trembling.

If she hadn't broken through the Heart Demon barrier on the 51st level earlier, it would have been absolutely impossible for her to pass this step, which tested the ultimate Sword Dao!

"That was too brutal... Just now in the illusion space, it slashed at me three thousand times! It almost turned me into a sieve!"

However, although the process was extremely painful, the gains were also astonishing.

Merely pulling out the sword on this 71st level brought Mu Linglong more Sword Dao enlightenment and improvement than all the previous seventy levels combined!

She felt that she was not far from forming her Sword Dao!

But Mu Linglong was also very clear that a ten-thousand-foot tower rises from the ground up.

Without the perfect foundation built bit by bit over the first seventy levels, she would never have been able to withstand the massive power of the Sword Dao on this 71st level.

Following Mu Linglong's successful Breakthrough, the dozen or so top Prodigies from various Sects who were lingering on the 70th level felt hope ignite in their eyes. They adjusted their states, preparing to attempt a charge toward the 71st level.

Just as this group of Prodigies took a deep breath and prepared to step forward, a voice suddenly rang out in their ears.

"If any of you dare to step across this 70th level today! I guarantee that once you leave the trial, you will not be able to enter the Sword God Domain!"

The dozen Prodigies who were preparing to draw their swords gasped, their breathing hitching. Their bodies stiffened in place, and they all turned their heads in unison.

The person who spoke was none other than Young Master Yifeng! At this moment, his face was so gloomy it seemed as if water could drip from it.

He couldn't pass this trial himself, so he absolutely would not allow people from other Sects to surpass him!

"Young Master Yifeng! Isn't what you're doing a bit too much?!"

The peerless Prodigy of the Spirit Sword Villa clenched his fists tightly, glaring angrily: "The purpose of our participation in the trial is to obtain the qualifications for the Sword God Domain. Everyone relies on their own ability! You are resorting to threats just because you cannot pull the sword out. If outside Cultivators were to know of such despicable behavior, wouldn't they mock your Sword Emperor Mountain for being unable to accept defeat?!"

"Mock? In this Sword Domain, who would dare to mock my Sword Emperor Mountain?!"

Young Master Yifeng sneered repeatedly, casting aside all pretense. "You are welcome to try stepping across! Pull the sword, and you win the trial, but I guarantee that your Sects will pay the price for it!"

"You...!" "Shameless!!!"

The Prodigies were burning with rage, trembling all over, and murder even flared in their eyes. But when they looked down at the 71st level steps, although they were furious to the extreme, in the end, not a single person dared to take even half a step further!

In the Sword Domain, the prestige of Sword Emperor Mountain was too high!

That Sword Emperor of Infinity, who was number one in slaughter, was a recognized legend in the Sword Domain, but he never took disciples nor established forces, leaving behind only opportunities.

But Sword Emperor Mountain was different; the Sword Emperor was a living expert at the Middle Stage of the Great Emperor Realm! They were the true Dominators of the Sword Domain today!

In the past, when Sword Emperor Mountain participated in trials, although they were overbearing, they would never have acted so ugly. But who could blame them, since the one participating in the trial this time was the Sword Emperor's most doted-upon only son?

Outside the Heavenly Ladder, in the sky above the Linchuan Realm. The big shots of the Ten Thousand Sword Ancient Clan watched coldly from the sidelines; after all, their Young Miss had already successfully pulled the sword, and Young Master Yifeng was blocking others' paths, so they were naturally happy to stay out of it and didn't say a word.

But the Saint Elders of the Spirit Sword Villa and other top Sects were furious! They were trembling all over with rage.

"Old Hun! This action by your Sword Emperor Mountain is simply bullying others too much!!!"

The Grand Elder of Spirit Sword Villa was so angry his beard was blowing and his eyes were wide. He pointed at a gaunt and skinny Saint Elder on the Sword Emperor Mountain's flying ship and shouted angrily: "The trial is supposed to be based on one's own ability! Young Master Yifeng is not skilled enough, yet he is using the future of entire Sects to exert pressure! Do you not intend to manage him at all?!"

But the Sword Emperor Mountain Elder known as Old Hun only kept his hands tucked into his sleeves, lifted his eyelids slightly, and gave him a faint glance.

"It is just a trial opportunity; the Young Lord has it under control."

Old Hun's voice was hoarse yet tinged with arrogance: "My Young Lord's will is the will of Lord Sword Emperor! If you are unconvinced, you are welcome to go to Sword Emperor Mountain and seek an explanation from my master personally!"

"You!!!"

Upon hearing the two words "Sword Emperor," all the Sect big shots present were so angry their teeth itched and their lungs felt like they were about to explode, but they felt as if their vitals had been gripped, leaving them helpless! They could only watch helplessly as their most outstanding juniors were humiliated on the Heavenly Ladder.

Inside the trial grounds, a strange spectacle formed. At the highest point in the clouds, Mu Linglong, like a Valkyrie leaving all others in the dust, endured her exhaustion and was climbing the Heavenly Ladder alone with great difficulty.

Below her, at the watershed of the 70th level, Young Master Yifeng and the dozen or so Prodigies from various Sects who had the ability to charge to higher levels were stopped at the 70th level, and no one moved.

As for further down, the Heart Demon barrier on the 51st level had trapped the remaining thousands of struggling Sword Cultivators. This trial, which should have been a race of a hundred boats, had turned into a pool of stagnant water due to the crushing weight of power.

Wait! A sharp-eyed Cultivator outside suddenly discovered! At the 70th level of the stairs, at some unknown time, a figure wearing a bamboo hat had suddenly appeared. It was Su Jin!

At this moment, with every step he took, the surrounding Void Realm would emit a groan of being unable to bear the weight!

He had silently fused the sixth Great Dao Origin!

The Heavy Sword Dao of Myriad Phenomena made his aura become increasingly steady and increasingly introverted, but every step he took was incomparably solid!

"Clack." Su Jin pulled out the sword on the 70th level. He lifted his head slightly, glanced at the 71st level of stairs ahead, his eyes devoid of ripples, and directly lifted his foot.

Just as his foot was about to land, a voice filled with threats rang out in Su Jin's ears. "If you dare to step across, you will not leave the Sword Domain alive!"
