Simultaneously, Lin Yun’s sword-wielding arm was instantly covered in dragon scales, with terrifying energy surging from his palm.
The Heaven-Slaying Seal also formed in an instant!
Lin Yun knew the immense difficulty of the ultimate trial, so he had no intention of holding back.
“Be destroyed!”
Lin Yun swung his sword, a golden dragon phantom instantly wrapping around the blade.
His divine sense erupted, merging into the strike!
The Dragon Emperor Bone also burst forth in an instant!
The immense power of the early-stage Immortal Divine Body exploded as well.
The might of this sword surged dramatically.
Boom!
When the sword struck the oncoming shadow, it was blasted back, retreating much farther than before.
Lin Yun’s sword flowed like water, twisting forward!
Boom boom boom!
With flickering sword shadows, powerful waves swept out, repeatedly blasting the attacking shadows backward.
Lin Yun charged forward, quickly covering half the distance!
As he advanced, the number of shadows increased.
With so many shadows attacking, Lin Yun’s speed slowed noticeably, but he still pressed forward.
Soon, he reached his previous position.
Only a quarter of the distance remained to the finish.
The shadows numbered sixty or seventy, attacking Lin Yun from all directions.
Even when blasted back, they charged again.
Lin Yun’s advance stalled.
“Last time, I stopped here. This time, I absolutely won’t!” Lin Yun’s eyes flashed with determination.
He abandoned defence, letting their attacks strike his body.
Resisting attacks from all sides would only delay him completely.
Thud thud thud!
The shadows’ attacks rained down densely on Lin Yun’s back, shoulders, and head…
Their attacks were formidable, causing Lin Yun pain.
Though his physical defence was strong, it didn’t mean he felt no pain.
But their attacks could only cause pain, not substantial harm.
While Lin Yun ignored their attacks, the shadows directly ahead still blocked his path.
To reach the end, enduring their attacks wasn’t enough; he had to break through!
“Lingyun Sword Technique, Cloud-Piercing Style!”
Lin Yun’s sword erupted, slashing fiercely at a shadow attacking from the front!
Rip!
The sword, with immense penetrating power, turned into a sword beam, striking the shadow like lightning.
The power in this strike surged like a torrential flood!
Boom!
With a loud crash, the shadow wasn’t just repelled but obliterated, dissolving into countless black specks!
“Haha, I annihilated it!”
Lin Yun was thrilled at the sight.
“Come on!”
His sword turned into a beam again, striking forward with astonishing speed and power!
Boom boom boom!
One shadow after another was obliterated by Lin Yun.
He now ignored the shadows from other directions, letting them attack as they pleased.
His goal was simple: attack forward with full force, carving a path!
As Lin Yun obliterated the shadows, he inched forward.
His progress was slow but steady!
Though he could destroy the shadows, new ones kept forming ahead.
Ten minutes later, the intense battle raged on.
Lin Yun was now about thirty metres from the finish!
He noticed the shadows ahead growing denser, blocking his path!
Clearly, the final thirty metres were the hardest!
“You can’t stop me. It’s useless!”
“Limitless Dharma Form!”
Lin Yun split into eight, charging toward the finish!
Over the past five hundred years, he had also improved his Limitless Dharma Form, reaching the seventh level.
In this trial, the Limitless Dharma Form might not be as effective. Unlike the Human Emperor’s ruins, where shadows were fixed and Lin Yun’s group was numerous, allowing clones to share the pressure, here he was alone, and the shadows were numerous, completely blocking the path. The clones had limited combat ability, only diverting some attention.
But with the finish so close, any help from the Limitless Dharma Form was valuable.
After splitting into eight, all eight figures attacked forward.
Seeing Lin Yun split, the shadows attacked all eight figures to block them.
Thud thud thud!
The attacks of the eight Lin Yuns collided with the shadows!
Boom boom boom!
In an instant, Lin Yun’s clones were destroyed.
At that moment, the real Lin Yun pushed his attack to the limit, shattering several shadows ahead.
His sword didn’t pause, continuing to strike forward.
Boom boom boom!
The shadows ahead kept exploding.
The path to the finish was cleared!
“Now!”
Lin Yun didn’t hesitate, pushing his speed to the limit and charging forward.
Boom!
When he reached the finish, the shadows in the corridor vanished instantly.
“I… I did it?”
Lin Yun looked back at the corridor, momentarily stunned.
It was too close!
Even Lin Yun found it hard to believe.
He had passed by such a narrow margin.
In the final thirty metres, the Limitless Dharma Form had played a crucial role.
Logically, the shadows were most numerous in this last stretch. Even if Lin Yun could destroy them, the formation would keep generating more.
Fortunately, his seven clones had briefly drawn away much of the pressure, reducing the shadows he faced.
Though the clones didn’t last long, shattering almost instantly, that brief moment allowed Lin Yun to break through the final barrier.
Of course, without the raw strength to reach this point, the Limitless Dharma Form would have been useless, as the clones would be destroyed instantly, offering only a fleeting moment.
Had he passed the ultimate trial?
Lin Yun felt like he was dreaming.
At that moment, the stone platform ahead emitted a dazzling light, and a wave of energy spread out instantly.
