Baby with Daoist Monarch System

At this moment, Xu Ran was half-squatting on the ground, blood continuously dripping from his shoulder, staining the ground, looking quite injured.

However, his attention was not on his shoulder at all; it was as if the wound never existed, not affecting him in the slightest.

Instead, all of Xu Ran’s focus was on the bald figure constantly approaching him, listening to the ticking sound of the sword tip dripping onto the ground and the ticking from his shoulder, his hand subconsciously tightened around the Silver Light Iron Sword.

The determination in his eyes did not fade at all. He did not let this setback cause his momentum to collapse completely; on the contrary, the battle intent in his eyes was even more vigorous than before.

At this moment, the bald figure brought him immense pressure; just one sword attack had injured his shoulder, which was evident enough.

One must know.

Xu Ran had mastered the Immortal Sword Skill, and although it was merely a Divine Technique, it was created by a Sword Immortal. Even if Xu Ran had not yet comprehended the strongest skill of a Sword Cultivator—Sword Intent.

Nonetheless, the breath contained within the Immortal Sword Skill vaguely carried a trace of Sword Intent, which is why just a Pocket-sized Flying Sword was unbeatable.

Sword Intent is always the most powerful ability of a Sword Cultivator!

Even so.

Xu Ran was still injured by a single move from the bald figure approaching him.

It was imaginable how strong this bald figure’s abilities were!

”Hmm?”

Xu Ran, who was half-squatting on the ground, initially had his gaze fixed on the bald figure’s body, but the next moment, his eyes were drawn to the Human Bone Rusty Sword in the bald figure’s hand.

A strange feeling arose in his heart.

”What is this?”

Initially, he thought that these seventeen eerie Rusted Swords, which absorbed the entire Rusted Sword Mountain, were merely a special activation method for this level.

But now, it seemed that was not the case.

Because he could feel it.

In the Human Bone Rusty Sword held by the bald figure, there was an extremely familiar aura.

”It seems like...” Xu Ran pondered for a moment, then widened his eyes, ”it’s the Immortal Sword Skill!”

Indeed.

It was indeed the aura of the Immortal Sword Skill!!

The aura of the Immortal Sword Skill, why would it appear on the Human Bone Rusty Sword held by the bald figure.

At first, Xu Ran did not notice anything amiss. After all, the initial seventeen Rusted Swords were only suspended in mid-air, and aside from exuding an aura similar to the Houtu Tripod, there was no other aura emanating from them.

At most, he just felt a familiar sensation.

But now.

The Human Bone Rusty Sword was in the bald figure’s hand and had activated the aura hidden deep within.

This immediately made Xu Ran realize.

”This Human Bone Rusty Sword is related to the Immortal Sword Skill!”

Having said this, Xu Ran’s gaze turned to look at the sixteen oddly shaped Rusted Swords suspended in mid-air, and a subtle aura drifted out from his body.

An invisible aura approached the sixteen oddly shaped Rusted Swords suspended in mid-air.

”Sure enough!”

The aura emanating from Xu Ran returned to his side immediately.

The information it brought was clear: the sixteen oddly shaped Rusted Swords remaining in the sky all carried the aura of the Immortal Sword Skill!

”Could it be, this level’s swordsmanship requires the use of the Immortal Sword Skill?”

Xu Ran’s mind started racing, but this guess was dismissed the next moment.

Not to mention that utilizing the Immortal Sword Skill requires consuming a great deal of Innate Qi.

The moment he entered the Nine-Layered Giant Tower, all the Innate Qi contained in his Sea of Spirit was sealed, which means that at this moment, he couldn’t use the Immortal Sword Skill.

Furthermore.

This level’s trial needs to be successfully completed through deduction.

If it genuinely requires using the Immortal Sword Skill to pass, wouldn’t it contradict the purpose of the Nine-Layered Giant Tower’s trial?

Thinking it over, the simplest way to pass is to defeat the bald figure by deduction.

While Xu Ran was pondering.

The bald figure, holding the blood-dripping tip of the Human Bone Rusty Sword, had already arrived before Xu Ran.

The look in his eyes was filled with a sense of superiority; at this moment, he looked at Xu Ran as if he were viewing an ant.

”Are you the one chosen by the Nine-Layered Giant Tower, among billions of geniuses? Is this all you’ve got?”

The tone of passing was full of disdain.

This was indeed the case.

The Nine-Layered Giant Tower was divided into inner and outer sides.

The outer side was the Dao Field where Xu Ran was initially led by the mysterious figure.

In that place, anyone could ascend the White Jade Stairs, and as long as their talent was somewhat decent, they could gain considerable benefits from it.

The inner side was here.

This was truly the Nine-Layered Giant Tower.

While climbing the steps at the Dao Field, the real Nine-Layered Giant Tower would begin to test the qualifications of those climbing the White Jade Stairs, and only those who met the qualifications would have the chance to be chosen by the Nine-Layered Giant Tower.

In an era, only one genius would be chosen.

This genius would be the one who defeated the strongest talents among the numerous geniuses of the current era.

Only such a person could enter the Nine-Layered Giant Tower for the trial.

However.

Before completing the Five Elements Trial, nearly ten thousand Soul Bodies had already gathered around the seating area, comprising countless peerless talents from his era.
