#773 - Ultimate Guardian Life Sharing
The Dragon Maiden returned to her position, and Jun Wuxie continued to cultivate.
In the Ultimate Trial, all the people from the four Supreme Dominators were wiped out, leaving only Jun Wuxie, Yue Chenyu, the Dragon Maiden, Jin Xuan, Jin Yu, and Jin Hanyu.
The atmosphere here became calm and harmonious, and everyone tacitly sat down, refined the sacred source, and entered a state of cultivation.
Before long, golden light began to permeate Jun Wuxie's body, and sounds like rushing rivers echoed from within.
He sat there, golden rays of light radiating in all directions, illuminating heaven and earth.
Everyone looked at him in shock.
Just cultivating alone caused such a commotion; one could imagine how vigorous the energy within his body was!
Day after day, time passed quickly.
Jun Wuxie's aura rose every day, becoming stronger and stronger.
He had already reached the peak of the mid-stage of the Middle Heavenly position, very close to the late stage, and was preparing to break through to the next realm.
The next day, a ten thousand-foot golden light erupted from his body, and the sound of energy surging within him turned into a torrent of mountain floods, shaking the entire Ultimate Trial.
His aura increased dramatically at that moment!
"He broke through; we'll be there soon too!"
Jin Hanyu opened her eyes and looked at the youth in the brilliant golden light from afar, then closed her eyes again.
Half a day later, Jun Wuxie opened his eyes, stretched his arms, and felt the power of blood surging within him, making him feel extremely refreshed.
He most enjoyed the feeling brought about by the improvement of his strength; this feeling was especially solid and made his heart surge.
Late stage of the Middle Heavenly Position!
Finally breaking through another realm again brought about a comprehensive doubling of overall strength, such as physical strength, life essence, and blood energy!
He looked at Yue Chenyu, who was currently attacking a realm, and considering that she would need to stabilize her realm and familiarize herself with her newfound power afterward, it would take some time.
Jun Wuxie sank his mind into his body, did not continue to refine the sacred source, but began to activate the Nine Heavens essence blood energy dormant in his limbs and bones.
That power was extremely majestic. If it weren't for Ye Qingxue's means of blessing it, even a single drop would not be something he could withstand.
It had been a long time since he had cultivated the Primordial Avatar.
Previously, his physical strength was insufficient, and his own realm was too low, so he could only cultivate the Primordial Avatar to a level equivalent to 30% of his own strength.
Now, he felt that he should be able to continue improving it.
After the Nine Heavens essence blood energy was released, it flowed along the meridians. That power was extremely overbearing, causing a tearing pain in his meridians and making his entire body feel as if it was about to burst open.
The bones in his body made cracking sounds, as if reaching their limit of endurance.
Fortunately, it ultimately did not exceed the limit, allowing him to breathe a sigh of relief.
He guided those essence blood energies to converge in the Cave Heaven, flow into the Star Sea, and surge toward the Star of Life, merging into the little man sitting on it like thousands of threads.
That was the Primordial Avatar he cultivated.
The avatar silently absorbed and fused with this essence blood energy. Although the fusion was relatively slow, it filled Jun Wuxie's heart with joy.
Previously, the Primordial Avatar could not continue to absorb and fuse with the Nine Heavens essence blood energy because his realm was too low at that time.
Now, the Primordial Avatar could finally continue to absorb and fuse, meaning that he could cultivate the avatar to a stronger stage, but it would take a relatively long time.
During this process, the Dragon Maiden broke through and stepped into the peak realm of the Middle Heavenly Position.
Several hours later, the three young Supreme from the Golden Ancient Mine successively broke through to the peak of the Middle Heavenly Position.
Before long, Yue Chenyu also broke through to the late stage of the Middle Heavenly Position.
After waiting for another half day, Yue Chenyu stabilized her realm, opened her eyes, and got up to come before Jun Wuxie.
The Dragon Maiden and the young Supremes of the Golden Ancient Mine also stopped cultivating and got up to walk to the challenge platform of the Ultimate Trial.
"Are you all ready?"
The blurry figure of the Order Manager appeared in the void.
"We're ready."
Jun Wuxie said, and the others all nodded in response.
"Ultimate Trial challenge rules: the person who knocks down the most damage value of the Ultimate Guardian obtains the ownership of what the guardian drops, and the rest receive corresponding ranking rewards according to the amount of damage dealt."
"Order Manager, you might as well just say that everything the Ultimate Guardian drops belongs to that guy Jun Wuxie..."
Jin Xuan said indignantly. Under such rules, they would work themselves to death, and in the end, they wouldn't get anything that dropped from the final level, only pitifully receiving some ranking rewards. It was too lacking in a sense of existence.
Jin Yu and Jin Hanyu also felt speechless.
Since it was a public challenge, shouldn't everyone who dealt damage to the guardian receive a different amount of drops? Even if it was just a little bit, it would be psychologically comforting.
The Order Manager said, "If you have any objections to the challenge rules, you can choose to withdraw."
The muscles on Jin Xuan and the others' faces twitched a few times, and they immediately fell silent.
They had already come here, how could they possibly withdraw for nothing?
Even if they didn't get any resources, they still wanted to see what the despair mode of this Ultimate Trial could produce.
"What you need to be reminded of is that when the guardian's damage value drops below fifty percent, there will no longer be a safe place in the Ultimate Trial. That is to say, you will not be able to escape the battle state at that time. I'll say this much; you can explore the rest on your own in battle."
As the Order Manager's voice fell, a monument condensed from the light of order appeared in the central sky above the challenge platform. A row of names appeared on it, from top to bottom: Jun Wuxie, Yue Chenyu, Dragon Maiden, Jin Hanyu, Jin Xuan, Jin Yu.
"When the guardian's damage value is close to fifty percent, Jin Xuan, the three of you, stay away from the platform; don't be buried here."
Jun Wuxie kindly reminded them that these Knight Guardians were very powerful, at the Great Heavenly Position realm, and their talent growth strength had reached the triple peak of the Eternal Legend. Any attack, if it landed, Jin Xuan and the others would not be able to withstand it.
"What do you mean? Are you looking down on us?"
Jin Xuan seemed to have swallowed gunpowder. He still held a grudge about being beaten black and blue. Anyway, seeing that guy Jun Wuxie and hearing what he said made him uncomfortable, and he just wanted to retort a few words.
"Long Xi, enter the platform, and go to Jin Xuan and the others' side, and join forces with them to deal with a guardian."
"Okay."
Long Xi did not try to be brave. She knew very well how strong these guardians were, and the strength of this Ultimate Guardian was probably not as simple as it appeared.
"Chenyu, you deal with a guardian alone!"
Jun Wuxie began to assign targets. Yue Chenyu had the Qiankun Battle Armor, so it shouldn't be a problem for her to withstand one.
The remaining seven could only be left to him to deal with.
After waiting for Yue Chenyu to nod in agreement, he stepped onto the challenge platform and went straight for those guardians.
At that moment, the knights standing on the formation suddenly burst into dazzling blood light. The blood-colored battle spears were raised high, and the warhorses beneath them reared up on their hind legs, neighing loudly.
Rumble!
The warhorses galloped, charging forward, shattering the void along the way, and the air waves rolled up like a surging tide.
"Kill!"
Jin Xuan and the others followed and rushed in.
The Dragon Maiden followed and entered the platform, came to Jin Xuan and the others' side, and joined forces to block a knight. A fierce battle broke out instantly!
Yue Chenyu stepped on the Time Steps, and sword energy crisscrossed between heaven and earth. The Time Sword Intent permeated the air, facing off against a knight.
Jun Wuxie's attack was the Seven Kill Fist, Yin-Yang Chaos. The brilliant fist imprint, wrapped in the phenomena of the collapse of heaven and earth, the destruction of order, and the reversal of Yin and Yang, crushed forward, covering a range of thousands of miles, directly covering the remaining seven knights.
Those knights, who were originally preparing to charge towards Yue Chenyu and Long Nu and others, immediately turned their spearheads towards Jun Wuxie after being attacked.
The warhorses neighed, their front hooves rising into the air. The blood-colored flames entwined around the horses' hooves stepped on the void, actually shattering the phenomena of the Seven Kill Fist.
The seven knights all wielded their battle spears and stabbed forward.
Blood-colored runes flowed on the battle spears. The moment they stabbed out, the blood-colored spear tips pierced through the thousands of miles of sky, incomparably sharp.
Seven battle spears almost simultaneously passed through the phenomena and stabbed at the golden fist imprint, causing the fist imprint to collapse, the golden blood energy to dissipate, and annihilating everything in all directions.
Almost at the same time, the seven knights surrounded Jun Wuxie.
Their warhorses were extremely fast.
The seven circled around Jun Wuxie, wielding their battle spears. The blood-colored spear light covered the sky and the earth, with no blind spots in 360 degrees, launching a thunderous attack.
Jun Wuxie stepped on the Word Traveling Formula, rushing towards a certain knight at super speed, launching a close-range strong attack, always locking onto one of them, and bombarding him with violent and overbearing fist imprints.
He did not dodge or avoid these knights' attacks at all, forcibly enduring them.
With the Qiankun Battle Armor protecting his body, the Imperial Word Formula added to his body, and the golden blood energy circle and dark energy vortex obliterating the attacks.
Although these knights' attacks were extremely powerful, enough to kill most full-circle Great Heavenly Position semi-saints in seconds, they could not cause him any harm at all. Only the sound of battle spears striking his body echoed clangorously, sparks splashed, but he was as firm as a rock!
He pressed down on one of the knights and attacked fiercely, causing his damage value to continue to decline.
In the sky above the platform, on the Order Monument, behind the names of the six of them, a blood-colored damage scale was rolling frantically.
The longer the blood-colored scale, the higher the damage caused.
The other scales increased slowly, but his scale was ranked first, increasing at an alarming rate, soon exceeding the sum of the five people below, and still rapidly surpassing it.
The battle on the Dragon Maiden's side was a bit difficult. The four of them cooperated, besieging a guardian. Jin Xuan, Jin Yu, and Jin Hanyu were all a bit embarrassed.
The knight's realm was too much higher than theirs, and their talent growth strength was at the same level.
They had to dodge attacks at all times, and could only look for opportunities to counterattack. If it weren't for the Dragon Maiden, they would probably have been injured.
Yue Chenyu's situation was much better. Her Time Steps footwork was mysterious and unpredictable, allowing her to avoid most attacks in battle. For those she couldn't evade, the Qiankun Battle Armor transferred 75% of their power, and the remainder was nullified and resisted by her defensive secret techniques. She could withstand them forcefully. As long as she wasn't hit continuously, she wouldn't experience a large consumption of true energy in a short period, allowing her to engage in prolonged combat.
Rumble!
On the Ultimate Trial Challenge Platform, the light of secret techniques bloomed continuously, illuminating the heavens and earth.
The energy here surged, rising thousands of miles high, creating a scene like the end of the world.
Challengers and guards collided continuously, clashing dozens or even hundreds of times in an instant.
On Jun Wuxie's side, golden blood energy soared to the sky, while the guards' scarlet energy surged.
He forcefully withstood the spear's assassination, focusing his ferocious output on one of the knights. Golden fist imprints were like rounds of condensed suns, colliding with the knight's spear.
The knight's damage-bearing value decreased rapidly.
With a boom!
This punch, condensed with his strongest military intent, cleared the knight's damage-bearing value!
From the start of the battle to the completion of the first kill, it only took half an hour!
The corners of Jun Wuxie's lips curled up slightly. Now that he had eliminated one, the balance of power had shifted, and the rest would be easier to deal with.
But his smile quickly froze on his face, turning into an expression of astonishment.
The knight's damage-bearing value had been cleared, but he didn't fall down. He still wielded his spear and thrust it at him.
His pupils contracted slightly as he saw a mysterious chain of life appear between the knight and the other knights.
"It's actually life-sharing?"
He saw the clue. The damage-bearing value of the knight whose value had been cleared was recovering at an alarming rate.
"What the f*ck!"
Jun Wuxie felt like cursing.
He realized a problem: to kill these knights, their damage-bearing values had to be kept at the same level at all times. Otherwise, as long as one hadn't been cleared, the others that had been cleared would recover quickly.
This undoubtedly brought great difficulty to the challenge.
"Pay attention to observing the guards' damage-bearing values. They share life and can recover quickly when sharing. We need to keep their damage-bearing values at the same level!"
He shouted to Yue Chenyu, Dragon Maiden, Jin Xuan, Jin Yu, and Jin Hanyu.
"What?"
Yue Chenyu and the others all looked over, noticed the strange situation of the guards on his side, and couldn't help but look grim.
"Damn it, this challenge setting is really perverted!"
Jin Xuan was angered. It was already very difficult to fight, and now there was life-sharing. Were they supposed to live?
Was this the difficulty of despair mode?
If it weren't for Jun Wuxie, these people would probably only be able to come and try their luck, kneeling as soon as they entered!
