With the activation of the Heavenly Phoenix Martial Spirit Pattern, Heavenly Phoenix Fire Wings radiating blue flames appeared directly behind Qin Xin.

The Heavenly Phoenix Armor completely concealed his identity.

Faced with this terrifying creature, Qin Xin dared not be careless and pushed his strength to its limit.

"Thump!"

After the enormous creature took a step, Qin Xinzhi felt the entire palace tremble. If he hadn't been a spiritual cultivator, he probably would have fainted from the impact.

After quickly regaining his senses, the Nine Flames Battle Immortal Sword in Qin Xin's hand emitted a slight fluctuation.

"Sword Control Style!"

The aura formed by sword energy instantly created an energy barrier in front of Qin Xin.

The sword strike made Qin Xin feel that the pressure from the creature around him had lessened considerably.

Before he could even catch his breath, the black broadsword, imbued with terrifying energy, charged towards him.

Under the terrifying energy surge, Qin Xin poured most of the Yuan Power in his inner world into the Nine Flames Battle Immortal Sword, and in an instant, the sword energy barrier of the "Sword Control Style" seemed to materialize by half.

"Bang!"

The instant the black broadsword made contact with the energy barrier, Qin Xin felt as if his ear had been sliced ​​by a blade, with drops of blood slowly seeping out.

"Sword Breaking Style!"

The black greatsword had an extremely powerful impact. The energy barrier formed by the sword-wielding technique showed signs of collapse the moment it made contact, let alone absorb the power.

As Qin Xin unleashed all the power from the Nine Flames Battle Immortal Sword, the black greatsword in the creature's hand paused for only a moment before slashing at Qin Xin once more.

Unexpectedly, this mysterious creature was so powerful that Qin Xin hurriedly flapped his Heavenly Phoenix Fire Wings and retreated.

In the blink of an eye, the black broadsword had already cleaved into the palace floor.

"Thump!"

The loud clanging of metal made Qin Xin's head throb with pain.

"puff!"

Under the impact of this aftershock, Qin Xin felt his internal organs shift, and with his blood surging, he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

After hurriedly taking the healing pills, Qin Xin was still somewhat shaken. If it weren't for the Heavenly Phoenix Fire Wings, he would have been cleaved in two by this creature's blade.

What surprised Qin Xin even more was that when the creature's terrifying attack struck the floor of the palace, it didn't even leave a slight dent.

At least in Qin Xin's knowledge, there was no material that was so hard.

This confrontation taught Qin Xin a lesson, and he became more wary of this enormous humanoid creature.

Fortunately, this guy was huge, so he couldn't fully unleash his physical strength in the palace. Qin Xin was able to dodge its attacks very flexibly by using the Flowing Cloud Step and the Heavenly Phoenix Fire Wings.

Next, within the palace, one could only see an extremely agile figure constantly darting back and forth, dodging the attacks of the black broadsword.

The attack had no effect, which greatly angered the enormous humanoid creature, which frantically stomped its feet on the palace floor, causing it to vibrate and thud.

As Qin Xin continued to dodge, the Yuan energy in his inner world was being consumed at a great cost. If it weren't for the large amount of Hunyuan Pills as a supply, Qin Xin would probably have been caught by that big guy after just a few rounds of this entanglement.

As for the result, it will probably turn into a pile of minced meat.

Fortunately, this big guy wasn't very bright; he only knew how to slash instinctively and didn't know any martial arts. So, after this constant fighting, his energy gradually began to decline.

"It's my turn next!"

Being constantly chased by this giant creature, and occasionally getting grazed, would instantly leave Qin Xin with raw, bleeding skin, which made him quite annoyed.

Now that the giant's power has been almost exhausted, Qin Xin naturally won't give it a chance to catch its breath.

With the continuous infusion of Yuan Power, the Nine Flames Battle Immortal Sword in his hand, wrapped in Blue Rock Bone Flame, released intense high temperatures.

After throwing out the Nine Flames Battle Immortal Sword, Qin Xin smiled slightly, having completely taken control of the sword with his spiritual sense.

A beam of blue light shot straight towards the large creature's armpit.

"roar!"

With a heart-wrenching roar of pain, the giant creature crashed to the ground.

After a series of struggles, Qin Xin had already thoroughly studied this big guy through his spiritual sense. Although this guy had thick skin and a very strong defense, its armpits were quite weak.

Therefore, during each attack, everyone would intentionally or unintentionally retract their arms in order to avoid revealing their weaknesses.

However, none of this could escape Qin Xin's spiritual sense.

As the entire palace trembled, the body of the giant creature that had been lying on the ground vanished completely.

This scene left Qin Xin speechless.

"Could all of this be an illusion?"

Qin Xin couldn't help but have some guesses in his heart.

"Spiritual practitioner, congratulations on passing the trial."

As a voice resounded once more throughout the palace, a phantom slowly appeared.

This sudden change startled Qin Xin, who immediately took two steps back and looked at the illusory figure in front of him with some vigilance.

"There is no trace of anything!"

After sensing this phantom, Qin Xin was greatly shocked, because both spirits and martial artists should have a trace of residual aura, but the phantom in front of him had none.

"Could it be a ghost?"

For a moment, this thing reminded Qin Xin of a species that did not exist in this world, and his heart tightened, goosebumps spreading all over his body.

"There is no need to be afraid. I am just an energy body. Because I have no emotions and no self-awareness, I am here in the Suijin Hall to test disciples and leave behind my legacy."

The illusory figure seemed to sense the fear in Qin Xin's heart and slowly spoke to explain.

Then Qin Xin saw the phantom of an old man with white hair, but he had no expression or consciousness, as if he had been programmed, and all his actions were based on instinct.

"Inheritance?"

Qin Xin was somewhat puzzled, but the energy entity did not answer any of his questions.

"You have passed the highest level of the Suijin Palace trial. According to the rules, you will be able to receive the power of the Metal Element."

"Now, enjoy the improvement in your strength!"

After the sound disappeared, Qin Xin stood there looking completely bewildered.

Then, it seemed as if an array was automatically operating within the entire palace, and a golden and silver rune slowly floated up within the palace.

Before Qin Xin could react, the gold and silver runes floated directly on his forehead, leaving some marks before disappearing into it.
