The terrifying Sword Intent surged in like a tide, not only impacting Wang Junze's body but also eroding his Divine Soul.

Compared to the physical body, the erosion of the Divine Soul is truly fatal, especially for someone like Wang Junze, who hasn't even reached Refining Spirit; the Divine Soul is extremely fragile. Once it encounters a Divine Soul Attack, he might not even have time to react before being directly obliterated!

Fortunately, the erosion of the Sword Intent is ultimately not a direct Divine Soul Attack. Compared to ordinary Condensing Truth Martial Artists, Wang Junze's greatest advantage lies in Sword Intent!

Wang Junze is a Sword Path Genius who comprehended Sword Intent from the Opening Veins stage.

At the moment he felt the Sword Intent eroding, the Rain Sword Intent immediately burst forth, causing Wang Junze to emanate a trace of Sword Intent all over his body, desperately resisting the Sword Intent's erosion.

The Divine Sword has a spirit; to seize the Divine Sword, one must endure its inherent test.

This is an extremely dangerous tug-of-war, and as time goes on, the Divine Sword's attacks become increasingly fierce.

In just a moment, the Divine Sword once again erupted with a surge of Sword Qi, directly impacting Wang Junze's meridians!

The Sword Qi itself isn't particularly strong, but for a Martial Artist, the internal meridians are extremely fragile. Once the meridians are destroyed, it's equivalent to having one's cultivation rendered useless.

If it were an ordinary Condensing Truth Martial Artist, their meridians would be destroyed in an instant.

But Wang Junze is different. Not only is Wang Junze's meridian width far broader than ordinary Martial Artists due to his Hundred Meridians Opening, but more importantly, Wang Junze initially used Sword Qi to open his meridians.

In a sense, Wang Junze has long been accustomed to the experience of Sword Qi eroding meridians.

It's precisely because of this that when various factors combined, Wang Junze did not fail directly but instead tenaciously withstood the Divine Sword's attack, truly entering the process of refining the Divine Sword.

However... even so, Wang Junze would still need a long time to completely refine the Divine Sword.

But Jing Yuan would never give Wang Junze that time!

Su Yuwei is formidable, but the two Deserters are also elites from the Divine Court. In a one-on-one fight, they might not be Su Yuwei's match, but two against one, Su Yuwei stands no chance at all.

Moreover, earlier on the Sword Platform, the opponents exhausted Su Yuwei's strength through rounds of relentless assaults, significantly worsening her condition.

As a result, within this short period, Su Yuwei was already in mortal danger.

"Princess Changlin, with your esteemed status, do you really intend to sacrifice your life here for Wang Junze?"

Seeing Wang Junze withstand the pressure and begin refining the Divine Sword, Jing Yuan cast his gaze toward Su Yuwei and suddenly spoke.

Without waiting for Su Yuwei to answer, Jing Yuan continued, "Wang Junze wants to refine the Divine Sword, but after all, he is just a Condensing Truth. No matter how much of a genius he is, how long will it take for him to succeed?"

"How much longer can you, Commandery Princess, hold out?"

"He's gambling with your life for his own fortune." Jing Yuan spoke rapidly, as if he didn't want to give Su Yuwei much time to consider, continuing to attempt to enchant her: "Moreover, even if he succeeds, what of it? Potential can never replace actual power. Even ten Wang Junzes are no match for one of your fingers, Commandery Princess!"

"It's merely abandoning a ruin; for you, Commandery Princess, it's not a significant loss. Once you leave the Northern Domain, you'll still be Princess Changlin. Whether it's the Court or the Judgment Department, neither would blame you. But if you die here... you'll have nothing."

"Silver-tongued!"

With a mocking laugh, Su Yuwei retorted with disdain, "Your rhetoric has no effect on me. You better think about how to save your own life first. If I really can't hold on, you'll be the first I'll kill!"

This idea that Wang Junze is gambling with Su Yuwei's life for his own fortune might sound reasonable at first, but in fact, it's far from the truth.

If he wasn't forced into a corner, why would Wang Junze choose such a life-threatening method?

It should be known that Wang Junze himself faces no less danger in seizing the Divine Sword than Su Yuwei does against two Desert Powerhouse Heaven-Stepping.

Moreover, the primary reason Wang Junze doesn't choose to give up is not a reluctance to miss this opportunity, but an unwillingness to sacrifice the lives of Luo Qingxuan and Lu Qing.

Such nonsense from Jing Yuan might deceive some ignorant fools, but it couldn't fool Su Yuwei.

Of course, this was indeed a high-stakes gamble!

However, given Su Yuwei's disposition, from the moment she agreed to Wang Junze's request, she never thought of retreating. Life and death, what is there to fear?

"..."

Seeing Su Yuwei unmoved, Jing Yuan couldn't help but sigh slightly in his heart.

Everyone has a fear of death. So, those words were not to truly deceive Su Yuwei, but to give her a reason and an excuse to abandon Wang Junze and escape alone.

Unfortunately, he still misjudged Su Yuwei's character.

Despite her noble background, she still chose to believe in a mere Condensing Truth like Wang Junze, wagering her life for him. It was utterly perplexing!

But no matter how ridiculous, it meant that there were no shortcuts anymore; the only option was a full-on attack to kill Su Yuwei before Wang Junze succeeded.

No one knows who will win. Even with Jing Yuan's countless strategies, they are now useless.

However, just when everyone thought this battle's outcome depended on how long Su Yuwei could hold on, a sudden change occurred!

Rumble!

In an instant, a terrifying Sword Intent burst forth from the front of the palace!

More accurately, it came from the Sword Array.

The moon-white sword light seemed to tear through heaven and earth in an instant, fiercely charging toward this direction!

At the same time, yet another Sword Platform rose from the earth!

The third Sword Platform!

At this moment, whether it was Jing Yuan, the two Desert Powerhouses, or even Su Yuwei, they were all astonished by this unexpected change.

No further explanation was needed!

The trace of moon-white Sword Qi and the Sword Platform rising from the ground explained it all!

Luo Qingxuan!

In Jing Yuan's estimation, Luo Qingxuan had no chance of breaking through the Sword Array, yet at this moment, she had indeed shattered the Sword Array, just like Wang Junze, and gained the opportunity to receive the inheritance of the relic!

At this moment, Jing Yuan felt an overwhelming sense of absurdity!

He had no doubts about his judgment; Luo Qingxuan had absolutely not obtained the relic inheritance beforehand and couldn't possibly have gained it in the Sword Array. Moreover, as a Heaven-Stepping Powerhouse, the difficulty she faced would definitely be the most terrifying.

This was an almost impossible challenge to complete. Yet, Luo Qingxuan, the Saintess of Profound Moon, forcefully used sheer power to break through the Sword Array, turning the impossible into the possible!
