Challenge the Sword Platform?
The moment this thought flashed through his mind, Wang Junze instinctively turned his gaze to Su Yuwei.
The rules of the Sword Platform only permit challenges from the same realm. But, what if it’s a cross-realm challenge?
The essence of this rule is to protect people like Wang Junze, who may lack current power but have higher talent and potential. However, if Wang Junze actively challenges someone of a higher realm, the rules naturally allow, even encourage, it.
Of course, under normal circumstances, attempting a cross-realm challenge against such a genius is extremely difficult, and can even be considered as seeking death.
But, as it happens, the person occupying the Sword Platform is Su Yuwei.
Wang Junze believes that if he issues a challenge, Su Yuwei would most likely cooperate. But... even if all this is true, after ascending the Sword Platform, can he successfully obtain the Divine Sword?
Or rather, even if he succeeds, how long will it take?
One must know, if the Sword Platform is lost, Su Yuwei will have to face the assault of two Heaven-Stepping Powerhouses alone. Can she hold out until he retrieves the Divine Sword?
This indeed involves great danger.
Moreover, does Su Yuwei truly trust him?
With a slight twitch of the eyelid, as if sensing Wang Junze’s hesitation, though not knowing why, Jing Yuan instinctively sensed a trace of danger and said in a deep voice, "Brother Wang, Commandery Princess, my patience is running thin. I give you a hundred breaths’ time... if you haven’t decided by then, I’ll make the decision for you."
This statement suddenly made Wang Junze’s heart leap.
One must admit, Jing Yuan’s perception is too keen, and his decision-making extremely precise.
Whatever Wang Junze intends, time is the greatest weakness.
A hundred breaths are hardly enough time to think at all.
"Commandery Princess, do you trust me?"
Lifting his head, Wang Junze turned to Su Yuwei, asking softly.
Meeting Wang Junze’s gaze, Su Yuwei hesitated only for an instant, then spoke calmly, "Whatever you intend to do, you can proceed. No matter the outcome, I’ve got your back."
This statement instantly warmed Wang Junze’s heart.
Even though he already felt Su Yuwei would choose to trust him, the words still touched Wang Junze inexplicably.
With a glint in his eyes, Wang Junze took a step forward, gazing in the direction of Su Yuwei, and declared in a deep voice, "Senior, I wish to challenge another Sword Platform!"
Suddenly, a loud boom resonated in the void as both Sword Platforms trembled slightly.
The next moment, that deep voice echoed again.
Almost instantly, the Sword Platform beneath Wang Junze erupted with Sword Qi, sending him directly to the Sword Platform where Su Yuwei stood!
In an instant, Jing Yuan’s expression changed dramatically!
This sudden change of events completely disrupted Jing Yuan’s expectations.
This is the consequence of an information gap. With a turn of thought, Jing Yuan understood that Wang Junze must have acquired some crucial information within the Sword Array, which those outside it couldn’t know.
The most critical point is that the other party actually responded to Wang Junze, causing Jing Yuan to suspect whether there really existed an ancient powerhouse alive within these ruins.
Though such occurrences have never been witnessed before, the occurrences within ruins are truly hard to conclude.
The moment Wang Junze set foot on the Sword Platform, a flicker of surprise appeared in Su Yuwei’s eyes, but she only nodded slightly, without saying a word, and directly leaped off the Sword Platform.
Su Yuwei knew full well that leaving the Sword Platform would inevitably lead to an assault, but even in such circumstances, she hesitated not, choosing to fully trust Wang Junze.
With a glint of killing intent in his eyes, Jing Yuan spoke coldly, "At all costs, slay Su Yuwei."
Jing Yuan couldn’t determine Wang Junze’s intentions, but the best solution was certainly to slay Su Yuwei!
As long as Su Yuwei died, with Wang Junze’s power, whether it’s obtaining an inheritance or any other chance, there would be no security.
With a smirk on her lips, Su Yuwei didn’t spare Wang Junze another glance, stepping forward to initiate a charge against the enemy.
Meanwhile, Wang Junze ceased concerning himself with Su Yuwei’s side of the battle, focusing entirely on the Sword Platform.
In fact, the moment Su Yuwei left the Sword Platform, a terrifying Sword Qi erupted from beneath, resonating and merging with the other Sword Platform!
The Sword Platform abruptly soared higher!
Within the span of a hundred breaths, the two Sword Platforms fully merged, doubling in height. Simultaneously, Wang Junze finally beheld that sword silhouette in the sky!
A pure white longsword lay hidden within the void, its aura resonating with the Sword Platform. Without the Sword Platform, even flying into the air, this sword’s existence would be undetectable.
Evidently, this was the Treasure Sword deliberately left by the Yijian Sect for its descendants, only obtainable by adhering to the rules.
Without any hesitation, Wang Junze immediately reached out to grasp this Divine Sword.
But, just as his hand touched the hilt, an overwhelming Sword Intent surged forth, carrying within it an unbearable extreme cold!
Evidently, even having ascended the Sword Platform, obtaining the Divine Sword isn’t easy. It requires passing an additional trial to successfully seize the Divine Sword!
However, this was likewise not an unexpected occurrence.
Previously, the remnants spoke to Wang Junze of ascending the Sword Platform and seizing the Divine Sword — two phrases.
These both entail considerable difficulty under normal circumstances.
It was only due to Su Yuwei voluntarily relinquishing the Sword Platform that Wang Junze managed to accomplish the first step with a clever workaround!
But to seize the Divine Sword, there existed no shortcuts.
At this juncture, Wang Junze could no longer retreat; no matter how difficult, or even if it meant staking his life, he had to seize that Divine Sword.
Otherwise, not only would he die, Su Yuwei, Luo Qingxuan, and Lu Qing might all perish!
The moment he gripped the hilt, countless shards of ice emerged around him, fiercely raining down on Wang Junze!
In an instant, Wang Junze activated the Profound Ice Body Tempering Technique, forming a layer of Profound Ice around him to fend off the approaching ice shards!
The ice shards pounded against Wang Junze, like a storm, producing a crisp sound.
In this moment, even Wang Junze couldn’t help but feel somewhat fortunate.
If he hadn’t accidentally entered the Ice Cave and acquired the inheritance of the Profound Ice Body Tempering Technique, he wouldn’t be able to withstand such an assault. In the Condensing Realm, attempting to seize the Divine Sword would’ve truly been too difficult. Follow current novels on novel-fire.ɴet
Moreover, even now, the danger hasn’t fully abated; more terrifying than the ice shards is the erosion of the Sword Intent!
