Outside the Sword Tower, countless people watched as the terrifying demon fell, and then, the long-awaited lights on the eighth floor of the Sword Tower shone brightly.
An uproar immediately erupted.
Once you get past the seventh floor, things get really interesting.
Since the creation of the Sword Tower, passing the seventh floor has been the dream of countless martial gods.
Often, cultivation level does not represent combat strength. Therefore, the strength of some powerful figures in the sword world is measured by the number of floors in the sword tower, or who can persist on a certain floor for the longest time.
"In the Sword Realm, another person has passed the seventh level."
"Some people sighed."
Throughout history, there have been many who have managed to pass the seventh level, but this generation has seen an exceptionally large number of people succeed.
In the Taiyi Sword Sect, someone once counted that among martial artists under the age of 500, a total of six people had passed the seventh level. One of them was the current Sword Master of the Taiyi Sword Sect. Compared to the Holy Son of the Holy Land, he was exceptionally talented and had already passed the eighth level before the age of 100, but still could not pass the ninth level.
"Speaking of which, who exactly is this person? He's so powerful that the seventh floor is no challenge for him at all. Just how many floors can he possibly reach?"
"It is said that once you pass through the nine-story sword tower, you can obtain the opportunity left behind by the Taiyi Sword Emperor. Perhaps we can witness history?"
"Not necessarily. Jianzi also easily passed the seventh level, but he also had to put in a lot of effort to pass the eighth level. In history, there are not many people who can pass the eighth level, let alone the ninth level."
"Yes, there are quite a few people who can pass the seventh level, but many geniuses may only be able to reach the seventh level in their entire lives. As for those who have passed the ninth level, it seems that only three people have passed it in history. Two of them will become Dao beings in the future, while only one died young!"
"That's right. Don't be fooled by his ability to pass the seventh level; he won't be able to pass the eighth or ninth level easily."
At this moment, many insiders of the Taiyi Sword Sect were discussing among themselves, knowing just how powerful the opponent in the eighth level was.
But while they said it was impossible, they were actually deeply shocked.
At Li Ming's age, to have this level of skill and combat prowess is already extremely rare. In terms of talent, he even surpasses the contemporary swordsmen of the Taiyi Sword Sect. Only a handful of people in the long history of the sword world can be compared to him.
Some elders of the Taiyi Sword Sect were already speculating about Li Ming's origins.
"He couldn't possibly be a native of the Sword Realm; he must have come from outside."
At this moment, in a certain pavilion, the current sect master of the Taiyi Sword Sect spoke in a deep voice.
"That's right."
Sitting next to the sect leader was a young man in purple robes, Ye Xin, the current sword-wielding elder of the Taiyi Sword Sect.
At this moment, he was in a state of complex emotions, and was probably the most conflicted person present.
Because he discovered that this person's spot was actually recommended by the Ye family.
Even though he had told himself long ago that he had let go of what happened back then, there was still some lingering resentment.
Unexpectedly, the long-awaited encounter with the Ye family turned out to be like this.
"However, the swordsmanship this person used earlier looks somewhat familiar to me."
The sect leader glanced at Ye Xin and said slowly.
Seeing the strange looks from everyone, Ye Xin said helplessly:
"It does bear some resemblance to the swordsmanship passed down in my Ye family, but this person's swordsmanship is undoubtedly a more advanced version..."
Ye Xin paused, as if she had thought of something:
"I might have some clues about this person's background."
He was once a prodigy of the Ye family and knew some of the Ye family's secrets.
After joining the Taiyi Sword Sect, I also looked up some information, and I learned quite a bit.
Soon, they had a pretty good idea of Li Ming's background.
Because geniuses of this caliber cannot simply appear out of thin air.
He heard Ye Xin's guess.
"I see."
The expressions on everyone's faces varied, but no one said much.
Finally, the sect leader broke the silence:
"Let's take a look first."
...
Outside the Sword Tower, many sword cultivators, having heard the news, made a special trip to the tower, making the originally spacious square crowded.
Conquering the Sword Tower has always been a major event for sword cultivators!
Especially when someone breaks into the upper floors!
But the Ye and Wang families, who watched the whole thing, were even more excited.
"I never expected that Fellow Daoist Li could pass the seventh level and obtain the Sword Heart Fruit."
"Now, no matter where you can get through, you'll be a peerless swordsman in every way!"
Both the Wang family father and son held Li Ming in the highest esteem.
As for Ye Lin.
He was naturally quite shaken. After all, no matter how confident he was, or even if he had been prepared, he was still deeply shocked by what he saw.
But in his heart, there were even greater expectations.
Is the seventh floor really the limit?
Or is it the eighth floor?
He felt that the patriarch's judgment was probably not wrong!
The group's eyes were fixed on the screen.
Countless people outside were also watching the giant projection in the sky.
Li Ming, however, remained extremely calm, with a hint of expectation deep in his eyes.
"There are some things on the seventh floor, but it's still quite easy for me."
"I wonder what kind of weird thing will appear on the eighth floor."
Li Ming was prepared for the worst.
Since he's been "targeted" by the Sword Tower, they won't give him a death sentence, will they?
"Whoosh!"
As Li Ming entered the eighth level, he discovered that the Starry Sky Battle Platform had become vast and boundless, as if he were on a continent in the starry sky.
Directly in front of Li Ming, a huge ball of light was flashing.
Then, a head emerged from it—or rather, a pair of eyes opened.
Those enormous pupils gleamed with golden light, bringing an immense sense of oppression.
dragon!
This is an incredibly huge dragon; its head alone is larger than a hundred-zhang-tall mountain.
The aura released by the opponent undoubtedly surpassed the Heaven and Earth Realm level.
"A dragon race at the Unity Realm?"
Even Li Ming couldn't help but curse under his breath.
The information on the eighth floor was already vague, and each person faced a different situation.
But facing a dragon at the Unity Realm level is absolutely unprecedented.
For a martial artist at the Heaven and Earth Realm level, it's already quite an achievement to be able to break through their defenses!
That would require having decent weapons.
The "rubbish" that the Sword Tower issues is basically just a tickle-level attack, right?
"Isn't that the true dragon under the Sword Emperor's command? Can he also be a tower guardian?"
The Taiyi Sword Sect disciples outside were utterly shocked when they saw this dragon.
This is a legendary dragon race that exists only in mythology.
He once followed the Taiyi Sword Emperor and possessed terrifying strength.
Of course, what Li Ming was facing could not possibly be its true form.
They were merely incredibly realistic illusions projected from the sword tower, yet their strengths were worlds apart.
After all, in the legends, that dragon was already at the level of a quasi-emperor, and was only one step away from immortality.
Even so, it still left many people feeling suffocated.
In the past, the enemies encountered on the eighth floor were all at the Unity Realm, which is why very few people have ever passed the eighth floor.
After all, the Sword Tower is restricted to martial artists below the Unity Realm.
To fight an enemy across a major realm without relying on powerful divine weapons or magical treasures is undoubtedly an almost impossible condition.
Fortunately, the conditions for passing the eighth level are different from before.
You don't need to defeat them!
Instead, you need to hold on, or cause a certain degree of damage, to pass!
Even so, it still stopped countless people!
"He's so unlucky!"
Someone couldn't help but say.
In the past, those who ventured into the tower were unlucky enough to encounter a demon race member in the Unity Realm, but Li Ming unexpectedly encountered a dragon!
This is a terrifying race whose attack, defense, and physical strength are unparalleled among many races.
"Perhaps his defensive measures are very strong?"
Some people still hold a sliver of hope.
However, they themselves didn't believe it.
What defensive methods can withstand the attacks of the Guiyi Realm dragon race without the aid of external forces?
