Boom!
As the storm struck Wu Tian, a violent explosion reverberated throughout the entire space.
The sharp gusts of wind swept out crudely, shattering all the myriad long swords planted in the ground into two halves.
Under the protection of the Sword God, Li Xingyun sustained no injuries.
However, his eyes were filled with horror, and even bloodshot veins crept onto his eyeballs.
He could not see Wu Tian's condition at all.
Because the sword storm was still continuously shredding Wu Tian.
The area where Wu Tian was located had a deep pit indented into it.
Under the violent agitation of the storm, the pit was even continuing to grow larger and deeper.
The hard rock strata were ripped up from the ground and then turned into countless dust particles.
Anyone caught within the storm would likely find it difficult to withstand, even a regular Grand Unity Golden Immortal!
The strength of this Immortal King was indeed unconquerable!
Just as Li Xingyun was unsure of Wu Tian's situation, suddenly, a violent lightning flash, shone out from within the storm!
Accompanying it was Wu Tian's shrill scream!
The sound was so terrifying, it was as if he was enduring the agony of being torn to pieces!
It was truly unimaginable that a human could emit such a scream!
This sound almost tore Li Xingyun's heart apart.
At this point, he could no longer care about anything else and quickly shouted to the Sword God, "Lord Sword God! Is that enough?"
"Stop quickly! If this continues, if this continues... Wu Tian will die!"
But the Sword God's reaction was exceptionally cold.
He said, "Stop? The move has already been unleashed, how can you ask me to stop?"
"Everything is his own choice. If he withstands it, it's his ability, but if he can't, then he can only blame himself."
"You're talking nonsense!" Li Xingyun suddenly cursed.
Unexpectedly, Li Xingyun seemed to have gone mad.
His eyes were red, his face contorted with ferocity, and he no longer cared who was in front of him, shouting loudly, "Isn't this your fault!"
"You scoundrel! If it weren't for your insistence on this damned trial, would Wu Tian have ended up like this!"
Li Xingyun's reaction caught the Sword God somewhat off guard.
His brow furrowed slightly, and he said, "You dare to speak to me like this?"
"Remember your place. Although you are my successor, it does not mean you can act recklessly in front of me."
"If you dare to be insolent to me again, I can easily revoke your successor status."
"Who the hell cares!" Li Xingyun had completely lost his reason.
He shouted like a madman, "Let me tell you, I don't want to be your successor anymore!"
"What kind of Sword God are you! I think you're a complete scoundrel!"
"If anything happens to Wu Tian today, I'll be the first to kill you!"
Roaring, Li Xingyun drew his long sword and attacked the protective barrier set up by the Sword God.
Even though his immortal energy could not cause any damage to the barrier,
He still attacked with all his might, never stopping for a moment.
Looking at him, the Sword God showed no signs of anger.
Instead, his gaze became somewhat subtle.
It was as if he was recalling something from a long time ago.
After a moment, he sighed and said, "Don't get so agitated."
"If you keep scolding, I don't know what more unpleasant words you'll utter."
"Don't worry, that kid is perfectly fine. If you don't believe me, why don't you see for yourself?"
With that, he waved his hand, and the sword storm immediately became much clearer.
And upon seeing Wu Tian within it, Li Xingyun was stunned.
Wu Tian was not suffering as much as he had imagined.
Instead, he was sitting cross-legged in the void.
The sharp storm revolved rapidly around him, but he remained motionless, like an old monk in meditation.
This strange scene made Li Xingyun freeze.
He couldn't help but ask:
"He... what is he doing?"
The Sword God said, "This is a critical moment for his breakthrough. If you have any questions, you can ask him later."
"If I wasn't worried about anything happening to you, I wouldn't have planned to tell you this so soon."
Li Xingyun stopped his frantic actions and just stared blankly at Wu Tian.
Wu Tian maintained a state of absolute stillness within the storm, as if the sky falling down would have no effect on him.
After about half an hour, suddenly, Wu Tian's eyes snapped open!
At this moment, an astonishing aura erupted from Wu Tian's body, distorting the storm itself!
Wu Tian's eyes flashed with brilliant lightning. He reached out his hand towards the sky, and as a heavenly thunderbolt descended, the Thunder God's Scepter appeared in his hand.
He struck the Thunder God's Scepter heavily against the void, and instantly, a golden wave swept out, completely destroying the sword storm.
A giant dragon of lightning appeared in the sky.
The dragon let out a deafening roar towards the Sword God, as loud as thunder.
"It seems he succeeded," the Sword God appeared not surprised by this at all.
He smiled slightly, then raised his voice and said, "Hey, kid, stop showing off there, I'm scared, alright?"
"You'd better come over quickly, otherwise your little brother here is dying to kill me."
As he said this, he reverted to his playful tone.
He was completely different from his villainous demeanor just moments ago.
Wu Tian retracted the giant dragon, then leaped forward, appearing before the Sword God and cupped his fists in greeting:
"Thank you for your help, Senior!"
"Your great kindness, Wu Tian will never forget!"
The Sword God smiled and said, "Forget it, you don't need to thank me for this."
"I think you know very well that I truly held nothing back just now."
"If your own strength wasn't strong enough, you would have truly died by my hand."
Li Xingyun was completely bewildered by this turn of events and couldn't help but ask, "Wait, wait a moment!"
"What are you two talking about? I don't understand a single word!"
The Sword God smiled and said, "You don't need to understand. You just need to know that this kid's current strength has reached the level of an Eight-Revolutions Golden Immortal."
"You, what did you say?!" Upon hearing this, Li Xingyun felt as if something had exploded in his mind.
He looked at Wu Tian in horror and said, "No way? It's one thing that this guy didn't die, but how did he get stronger the more he fought?"
Wu Tian did not answer this question.
But at this moment, his heart was filled with excitement.
The Sword God's trial was only one aspect; the ultimate goal was to help him refine the remaining demonic energy within his body.
And under immense pressure, he had managed to fulfill his mission by completely absorbing the demonic energy of the Corpse Heaven Demon Emperor.
