At this time, countless sword rays appeared within Duan Ling Tian's spatial energy before they launched into the sky, dispelling the darkness.
Zhang Yao Ji, A Qiu, and Sha Yu Ting looked at the dazzling grey sword rays in shock. Even from a distance, they could sense how powerful the sword rays were.
"I'll attack using all my strength now.' The Divine Energy coursed through Duan Ling Tian's 99 Heavenly Veins before they surged out at top speed. With the force of the two triple Fused Profundities from the law of space, the spatial energy grew even stronger.
The demon beasts that charged at Duan Ling Tian were sent flying, suffering serious injuries. Similarly, the death slaves were also injured. Some of the death slaves who were too slow were killed immediately by the sword rays.
Blood rained down immediately.
Currently, Duan Ling Tian was on the cusp of becoming a King of Gods. Due to his talent, after consuming six Auspicious Pills, the effects were like ordinary gods who had consumed eight Auspicious Pills. With his cultivation base, law of space, and the Sword Dao, he easily flew up, seemingly unstoppable. This was his first time unleashing this level of strength since coming to the Profound Energy Land. It was much stronger than what he had shown when he killed Qi Yu.
"He made it!"
Duan Ling Tian continued to rise in the air, easily clearing the obstacles that stood in his path. The core disciples' test did not seem to trouble him at all.
The inner disciples continued to watch until Duan Ling Tian finally flew out of the Pinnacle Abyss.
"He's out!"
"He made it!"
"With this, our Hidden Fog Sect finally has a new core disciple after 10,000 years!"
The inner disciples cheered excitedly. It was as though they were the ones who had passed the core disciples' test.
Complex expressions could be seen on the faces of Zhang Yao Ji, A Qiu, and Sha Yu Ting.
At this time, Duan Ling Tian looked into the abyss from the top. Naturally, he was not surprised that he had passed the core disciples' test. Moreover, he did not even unleash his full strength to do so.
'It will be quite impossible to defeat an opponent who has a higher cultivation base after one has attained godhood. I'm quite certain only a few gods are capable of defeating me right now.'
Duan Ling Tian had comprehended a quadruple Fused Profundity from the law of space with the help of the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity, after all. Moreover, he possessed a prominent divine artifact, the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword, that contained an artifact soul. As his cultivation base rose, the Seven Orifices Exquisite would grow stronger as well. This applied to Huang'er, the sword soul, as well.
....
Meanwhile, Zhang Tian Heng, the Pavilion Master of the Trial Pavilion, was shocked when he saw Duan Ling Tian flying out of the abyss. After all, he was the one who had set the difficulty of the test. He had made sure it would not be easy for Duan Ling Tian who had managed to kill Qi Yu with just a strike to pass the test.
"That boy hid his strength?'
"Pavilion Master, what's wrong?" the old man, the Vice Pavilion Master of the Trial Pavilion, standing next to Zhang Tian Heng, asked when he saw the change in Zhang Tian Heng's expression. "Duan Ling Tian just passed the core disciples' test," Zhang Tian Heng said with a complicated gaze.
"What?!" The old man was shocked as well. "Didn't the test just start a while ago? How did he pass the test so quickly?! What kind of test did you set for them?"
There were various kinds of tests that were passed down from ancient times in the Hidden Fog Sect that were used for the core disciples' test. Zhang Tian Heng replied, sighing, "The Extreme Abyss test."
The Extreme Abyss was one of the classic tests. Inner disciples would have difficulty passing it unless they had sufficient strength.
"He passed the Extreme Abyss test so quickly?" the old man's eyes widened in shock as he asked, "Does this mean he was hiding his real strength previously?"
The old man had long heard about Duan Ling Tian. After killing Qi Yu with just a strike, there were not many people in the Hidden Fog Sect who had yet to hear about Duan Ling Tian. He was now known as the strongest god in the Hidden Fog Sect, after all. Nevertheless, he did not think Duan Ling Tian would be able to pass the test so easily. After all, the test was so difficult that even geniuses had failed them. Moreover, based on the strength Duan Ling Tian had shown during his battle with Qi Yu, it was not sufficient for him to pass the test at all. For this reason, he thought that Duan Ling Tian must have hidden his strength.
"Not only did he hide his strength, but he's much stronger than we imagined. He has comprehended two triple Fused Profundities from the law of space," Zhang Tian Heng said with a sigh. "What? He comprehended two triple Fused Profundities from the law of space?" the old man exclaimed as his expression changed again.
"That's right. I'd say his comprehension of the law of space is on par with yours," Zhang Tian Heng said
Similar to Duan Ling Tian, the old man had also comprehended the law of space and two triple Fused Profundity. With his comprehension of the law of space and his bloodline power, he was confident that he was the strongest among the inner elders. How could he not be shocked that Duan Ling Tian who was not even 3,000 years old had comprehended the law of space to the same extent that he had?
"Now you know how he managed to pass the core disciples' test and became the first core disciple in 10,000 years," Zhang Tian Heng said with a smile. Then, before he left, he said, "Alright, I'm going to send the Floating Image Pearl to the sect leader now. Once he verifies the result, Duan Ling Tian will officially become a core disciple of the Hidden Fog Sect."
.....
Outside the Trial Pavilion.
"Guardian Zhang!"
A few core disciples and a huge number of inner disciples were waiting outside for the result of the core disciples' test. Hence, a commotion broke out as soon as Zhang Tian Heng flew out of the Trial Pavilion.
"So many people came to watch the show?" Zhang Tian Heng asked with a smile when he saw the crowd.
One of the inner disciples mustered up his courage before he stepped forward and asked, "Guardian Zhang, as the Pavilion Master of the Trial Pavilion, do you think Duan Ling Tian has a chance of passing the core disciples' test becoming the first advanced god to become a core disciple in 10,000 years?"
Since only a short time had passed since the test began, naturally no one thought that it had ended. It did not even occur to them that Duan Ling Tian had already passed the test. Moreover, they were unaware that Zhang Tian Heng had personally taken charge of the test for inner disciples who were gods. Hence, they did not think too much of the fact that he was leaving the Trial Pavilion.
Everyone looked at Zhang Tian Heng with burning eyes, waiting for Zhang Tian Heng's answer.
Zhang Tian Heng said with a smile, "Well, I can answer this question. However, I think it's best that I let Duan Ling Tian answer your question now." As soon as Zhang Tian Heng's voice fell, Duan Ling Tian appeared next to him immediately.
Duan Ling Tian had been waiting for Zhang Tian Heng to send him out from the Little World just a moment ago. As soon as he appeared, he discovered he was surrounded by a group of inner disciples outside of the Trial Pavilion. "It's Duan Ling Tian!"
"Why is Duan Ling Tian out so soon?"
"Did he fail the test?"
The group of inner disciples whispered among themselves when they saw Duan Ling Tian. At the same time, Zhang Tian Heng flashed and flew away, leaving Duan Ling Tian to deal with the crowd.
At this time, a voice imbued with Divine Energy that was dripping with mockery rang in the air.
"Duan Ling Tian, didn't you brag about becoming the first core disciple of the Hidden Fog Sect in 10,000 years? Why are you eliminated so quickly?"
"Tu Feng?' Duan Ling Tian recognized the owner of the voice immediately.
Tu Feng was the disciple of the second elder of the Hidden Fog Sect whom Duan Ling Tian had first met in Skywind City's Hidden Fog Academy..
