Chapter 208: The Essence of the Sword of the Outer Dao, the Supreme Ruler of the Nine Realms

The assessment content of the Long Stairs to Heaven is actually not complicated.

Many people can think of the key if they calm down.

But this is how people are. The more they desire something, the harder it is to remain calm.

Most of the monks were so obsessed with climbing the first stage of the long staircase to heaven that they could no longer see anything except the long staircase that was so long that it was difficult to see the end.

And many people who stopped to visit the tea stalls also thought they were eliminated after they came to.

Coupled with the fear of immortals in their hearts, they didn't even have the courage to step onto the long stairs to heaven for the second time, and chose to "go down the mountain".

It can be said that the main reason why they were eliminated was that they did not understand the true assessment content of the Long Stairs to Heaven.

After all, the True Immortal Trial is to select those who have the opportunity to become immortals.

If becoming an immortal was so easy, the world would have been filled with immortals long ago.

Although the Long Stairs to Heaven is just an entry test, two-thirds of the people have already been sent out.

The remaining one third also encountered their own troubles.

Lu Chen’s long staircase to heaven.

What he saw this time was no longer the beautiful scenery of the mountains and forests with singing birds and blooming flowers.

Instead, there was a dark and dilapidated sky.

I saw a bloody sun hanging high in the sky, turning the entire world blood red.

And under this bloody sun, there are a large number of twisted monsters crawling.

These monsters are male and female, old and young.

But without exception, these guys all look like hideous monsters.

Looking at the countless monsters that wanted to rush over the long steps to heaven and attack him.

Four spiritual swords suddenly appeared around Lu Chen.

These spirit swords surrounded him, forming a special barrier.

The Black Dragon Sword, the Shangqingyun Sword, the Taotie Fierce Weapon, and the Juetian Sword.

The appearance of these four swords instantly caused the monsters around the long stairs to retreat continuously as if they had seen their natural enemies.

"The state of mind is manifesting..."

Lu Chen looked at the scene around him and immediately guessed the reason.

Because the monsters that appeared around were all creatures that Lu Chen had encountered before.

Among them are magic corpses, heretic sword monsters, and other evil creatures encountered in other game copies or outside the copies.

Looking at those demons and monsters that were afraid of him but still showing their fangs and claws, Lu Chen laughed.

"If I can kill you once, I can kill you a second time, a third time... I can even make sure you never stand up again."

As he spoke, Lu Chen took a step forward and walked towards the top of the long staircase.

This time, the long staircase to heaven did not restrict Lu Chen's cultivation.

But its difficulty is much higher than the first time.

Because this time Lu Chen is no longer just climbing a mountain.

Instead, you need to climb the mountain while killing the monsters that suddenly appear around you.

Lu Chen had thought about flying directly to the top of the long steps on his sword.

But every time Lu Chen's feet left the long stairs, he would feel an irresistible huge gravity pressing on him.

There is no doubt that this is the long stairway to heaven preventing Lu Chen from using tricks.

There may be shortcuts to the "Tao" in reality.

But the 'Tao' represented by the long stairs to heaven does not have that.

If you want to reach the top of the mountain here, you must go up step by step.

And as Lu Chen walked higher and higher.

The monsters that appeared around also began to become more and more powerful.

Even some Jindan-stage monsters began to appear among them.

In response to this, Lu Chen had to use the sword domain of the Hedao realm to kill.

But the more Lu Chen killed, the more monsters appeared around him.

Gradually, countless demons and monsters occupied the area around the long steps leading to heaven.

The monster's corpse and the spilled blood even dyed the entire Dengtian long steps red.

But Lu Chen seemed to be unable to see all this. He just stared at the direction of the top of the mountain not far away.

At the top of the mountain, he saw several beings whose faces could not be seen clearly hiding in the clouds surrounding the top of the mountain.

The Stairs to Heaven are several thousand meters high, but the sizes of those monsters are even more exaggerated than the Stairs.

Lu Chen estimated that the size of these monsters might even exceed tens of thousands of meters.

Just by looking at them, Lu Chen could feel a terrifying sense of oppression.

It's hard to describe this feeling in words.

But it does exist.

Therefore, even though Lu Chen was only about a hundred steps away from the top of the mountain.

But these last hundred steps made him extremely difficult.

Because with every step Lu Chen takes forward, the monsters around the top of the mountain will get closer to him.

Not only that, Lu Chen seemed to be able to feel the excitement in the monsters' eyes.

As if expecting something.

When Lu Chen walked to a distance of fifty steps, he could already see the appearance of these monsters roughly.

One is a strange man with three heads and six arms, two of his heads are similar to bird heads, and in the middle is a head that looks like an old human being.

Not only that, but his head was out of sync with his body.

The two bird heads are not only two or three times larger than the human head.

Even the neck connecting the two heads is much longer than that of a human head.

Even his skin was covered with disgusting bird feathers.

Half human, half bird, half bird.

In addition to this three-headed weirdo, the people beside him are equally indescribable horrors.

One is a female Bodhisattva with closed eyes, beautiful appearance and holy Buddha light.

It embodies the world’s beautiful yearning for Bodhisattvas and Buddhas.

But all this only stays on the upper body of this female Bodhisattva.

The lower body of this female Bodhisattva is hollowed out, revealing her ribs and spine.

And at the position of the ribs, there is a six-fingered Buddha baby sitting upright.

The lotus pedestal beneath the seat was made from countless corpses.

Since the blood of these corpses had dried up, from a distance it looked like He was sitting on a black lotus.

Another terrifying existence next to this female Bodhisattva is a giant zombie.

Different from ordinary zombies with green faces and fangs.

The mouth of this giant zombie seemed to be sealed by something, and there were strips of stuff like silk thread stitches between its lips.

However, the biggest feature of this zombie is not these, but its eyes.

Not only does He have only one eye, but that eye takes up one-third of His face.

Plus that weird sealed mouth, and the nose with no bridge, only nostrils.

This zombie gives people an indescribable feeling of weirdness inside and out.

When Lu Chen saw these three people, he immediately knew their identities.

Because Lu Chen had seen these three people before, or rather, he had seen statues representing them, in the special copy, the Sword Formation Ruins.

The three-headed strange man is an ancient deity worshipped in Daqian Mountain, named 'Daqian Tianyu Zhende'.

The female Bodhisattva, or female Buddha is Gutu, the compassionate Black Lotus Buddha Mother, who is worshipped by the Black Lotus Sect.

The last giant zombie is the ancient corpse worshipped in the Corpse Cave, the Immortal Corpse ...

The reason why they appear here is because this is the manifestation of Lu Chen's state of mind.

Looking at these three ancient statues, Lu Chen took a deep breath and then walked towards the top of the mountain.

When Lu Chen walked to a certain distance, the three Gu Qies seemed to have lifted some kind of restriction and reached out to grab Lu Chen.

It looked like three diners grabbing the food on the table.

If it were someone else, they might have been scared silly by now.

No reaction at all.

But Lu Chen was not afraid. Instead, he responded to the three big hands.

"roar!"

With a dragon roar, Lu Chen's Black Dragon Sword transformed into a golden dragon and rushed towards the Black Lotus Buddha Mother's hand.

However, even such a golden sword dragon that is hundreds of meters long seems extremely small in the hands of the Black Lotus Buddha Mother.

It wasn't even as long as one of her fingers.

On the other side, the Great Thousand Heavenly Feather Immortal released a head and kept approaching the direction where Lu Chen was.

What responded to him was Xu Bai's Juetian Sword.

The Juetian Sword flew out, and the power of the forbidden spell was immediately cast out from the sword.

Not long after, the Juetian Sword, which was originally only three feet long, turned into a half-real and half-virtual sword of the soul.

This sword can not only ignore most spells and magical powers, but also cause real damage to the enemy that almost ignores defense.

But compared to the huge head of the Great Thousand Heavenly Feather Immortal, the hundreds-meter-long Juetian Soul Sword looks like a toothpick.

As for the last immortal celestial corpse, Lu Chen dealt with it together with the evil Taotie soldiers.

The Taotie weapon was completely released, and the Taotie eye at the junction of the hilt and the sword suddenly opened.

Then the vicious Taotie soldier transformed into a huge blood-red Taotie and rushed towards the Immortal Heavenly Corpse.

But no matter whether it is the Sword Dragon, the Absolute Heaven Sword, or the final Taotie vicious weapon.

In the end, it just caused trouble to the three ancient masters.

The Sword Dragon was crushed to pieces on the spot when it touched the palm of the Black Lotus Buddha Mother.

After the Juetian Soul Sword encountered Daqian Tianyu Zhenqi, it couldn't even leave a scar on the opponent's face and shattered on the spot.

The Taotie vicious soldiers suffered the worst fate.

I saw that the bloody glutton was biting the finger of the Immortal Heavenly Corpse with all its might.

But the result was as if something had bitten something in the blood vessel of the blood-colored glutton.

In an instant, it was absorbed and turned into a mummy.

Seeing that his three swords had no effect, Lu Chen was not surprised.

Because right now the gap between him and these three Gu Qie is so huge that it cannot be described in words.

And this was just his imagination of the strength of the three ancient masters.

The actual situation may be even more terrifying than this.

But doing something even though you know it is impossible is also a choice.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Looking at the head and two hands that covered the sky and attacked him, Lu Chen just watched calmly without any reaction.

But just as the head and two hands were about to reach the top of the mountain where the long steps to heaven were.

An invisible sword energy suddenly cut through the sky.

For a moment, it seemed as if half of the time in the entire world was blocked.

A bright line of blood appeared on the neck of Daqian Tianyu Zhenxian, the wrist of Black Lotus Buddha Mother, and the fingers of Immortal Tianshi.

The next second, the head of the Great Thousand Sky Feather Immortal, the palm of the Black Lotus Buddha Mother, and the severed fingers of the Immortal Sky Corpse fell from the sky one after another.

It crashed into the sea of ​​blood and corpses filled with evildoers, demons and monsters beside the long steps leading to heaven.

Lu Chen raised his head and saw a man in black whose face he could not see clearly standing on the top of the mountain, looking down at him.

Although Lu Chen was very sure that he had never seen this person.

But he felt a sense of familiarity from the other person.

Before Lu Chen could think about it, the other person's figure disappeared on the top of the mountain.

After the other party disappeared, all the ancient figures that were originally located around the long steps to heaven also disappeared.

Lu Chen lowered his head and found that he had arrived at the gate of Guyue Cave without knowing when.

That is right below the Juxian Bell.

At this moment, he was the first monk to arrive here.

At this moment, Lu Chen did not feel happy about being the first to resist.

Because at this time he was thinking about the mysterious man in black who appeared in the 'manifestation of mind'.

You must know that the manifestation of the state of mind will not appear without the knowledge of the cultivator.

Not to mention that Lu Chen also felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity from the man.

He must have encountered or come into contact with something related to this man somewhere.

More importantly, in his opinion, the other party is even more powerful than the three ancient masters.

He could cut off the bodies of three ancient statues with one sword.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen suddenly had an idea.

Yes, the person who appeared last must be the one who used the "Outsider Sword", or the "Immortal-Slaying Sword".

For some reason, Lu Chen actually knew the other party's name clearly in his mind this time... The Lord of the Nine Realms.

The reason why Lu Chen knew this was because the lucky little golden dragon he met in the copy of the Tripod Carrying Warrior once said these words.

But for some reason, Lu Chen at that time could not understand the musical notes of these words.

Or perhaps, there was some limitation that prevented him from understanding.

But just now, he recalled the meaning of these words.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen immediately memorized the words "Nine Realms Supreme Law Lord".

And prepare to see if you can get any information about him.

Just as Lu Chen was thinking about this, a voice came from behind him.

"Friend Lu!"

Shangguan Yunmeng looked at Lu Chen who had appeared outside the Guyue Cave and waved happily.

Then, without waiting for Lu Chen's reaction, she happily ran to his side and said with admiration, "Daoist Lu, everything is just as you said. This second step on the long staircase to heaven is the real way to heaven."

"If it weren't for you, I would have been eliminated."

Hearing this, Lu Chen smiled and said, "It's fate. Maybe your success is not entirely due to me, but also your own destiny."

"ah?"

Shangguan Yunmeng looked confused and didn't understand why Lu Chen said that.

But Lu Chen knew very well that what he said was not just a courtesy, but what he really thought.

For some reason, Lu Chen saw the shadow of an old friend in Shangguan Yunmeng.

It's the little leaf in reality.

Shangguan Yunmeng and Xiaoye are both directionally challenged and have good luck.

If it weren’t for the fact that Shangguan Yunmeng and Mu Xiaoye had very different Taoist traditions, one was a sword cultivator and the other a body cultivator.

And their appearance...

Lu Chen looked at Shangguan Yunmeng, as if he was observing something carefully.

Being looked at like this by him, Shangguan Yunmeng immediately became a little restrained.

She looked at Lu Chen nervously and asked carefully, "Brother Lu, why are you looking at me? Is there something on my face?"

Hearing this, Lu Chen seemed to come back to his senses. He then said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I just suddenly felt that you look a bit like a friend of mine."

“Is that so?”

Shangguan Yunmeng was not angry and said with a smile.

Lu Chen nodded, and the look in his eyes when he looked at her became complicated.

Because of their dressing, Lu Chen did not notice that the facial resemblance between Mu Xiaoye and Shangguan Yunmeng was nearly 80%.

If Shangguan Yunmeng changed into modern clothes and cut her hair short.

Lu Chen even thought she was Mu Xiaoye's biological sister.

This reminds me of Shangguan Yunmeng, who is a person with poor sense of direction and seems to have good luck.

Lu Chen vaguely had an absurd idea.

However, because this idea was difficult to verify, Lu Chen had no choice but to keep it in his mind.

Just as Lu Chen was overwhelmed with emotion, Shangguan Yunmeng looked at the huge bronze door in front of them and couldn't help but ask, "Daoyou Lu, how long have you been here?"

"Just got here a step ahead of you."

"Do you know when we can go in?"

"It may be that the time has not come yet. When the time is right, this door will naturally open."

"Oh, I see."

Out of absolute trust in Lu Chen, Shangguan Yunmeng immediately took a short rest next to Lu Chen.

In the following period of time, more and more people came here and passed the test of the long stairs to heaven.

Among them were other disciples of the Qingyun Sect, such as Yi Hanqing and King Wumiao.

There are also disciples from Yuxu Mountain, such as Li Xueke and others.

There are also the Buddhist disciple Juechen who is similar to Xiao Leiyin, and the quasi-celestial being Xing Li from Wushen Mountain.

In addition to them, there were unexpectedly many more people from outside the top ten sects participating in this True Immortal Trial.

You should know that at this time of year in previous years, people from the top ten sects usually occupied the majority of people entering the Guyue Cave.

But this time is different. Among all those who have passed the long steps to heaven and obtained the qualification to enter the Ancient Moon Cave.

People from the ten major sects only account for one third.

The remaining two-thirds are occupied by other sects and a few individual cultivators.

Therefore, the number of people who were qualified to enter the True Immortal Trial this time reached an astonishing three hundred people.

This has never happened before.

After these people came out, they all smiled and nodded at Lu Chen with a good attitude without exception.

Only the people from Wushen Mountain were rude to Lu Chen, as if they regarded him as a thorn in their side.

Lu Chen didn't care about this.

After all, he had severely slapped Wushenshan in the face at the gathering of heroes before.

It would be strange if they could treat me well.

Besides, Lu Chen had no interest in these people at this time.

Although they have some aura of ancient power.

But Lu Chen could see that most of the ancient power on them was passive.

What really caught Lu Chen's attention was actually just chatting with the twenty-five people.

Among them, there are seven people from the Juling Sect in East Shenzhou, six people from the Wuxiang Valley in South Shenzhou, and nine people from the Qixuan Sect in West Shenzhou.

The remaining three were from other small sects that Lu Chen didn't know about.

And these twenty-five people are the ones who are qualified to enter the True Immortal Trial this time.

As for the other evildoers, they were all eliminated.

Lu Chen secretly observed them and memorized their appearance and aura.

And they knew nothing about it.

At this time, they were even secretly observing others.

Their purpose is very simple, that is, they want to quietly devour some of the geniuses from the major sects in Zhongzhou in this True Immortal Trial, so as to improve their own qualifications.

They considered themselves hunters, and the Zhongzhou geniuses present were their prey.

But the positions of hunter and prey are not fixed...
