Sky War Soul

"If it wasn't because I had reached the peak of my cultivation, I really wouldn't have been able to continue improving. Sigh, where can I find such a perfect sparring partner? "    

    

Chu Yun looked at the gradually disappearing puppet, and could not help but exclaim.    

    

In these few months, Chu Yun's improvement was extremely fast, which also allowed him to deeply experience the benefits brought by the Dragon Gate's imprisonment.    

    

At the same time, it also caused Chu Yun to be filled with anticipation towards the unknown third trial.    

    

The first trial was to test one's willpower and kill one's heart demon.    

    

The second stage was to fight with himself and break through.    

    

Then what would the third trial be like?    

    

The empty room completely disappeared, and a new scene appeared in front of him.    

    

In the middle of the cave was a dried up pool, which was filled with moss and filled with skeletons.    

    

Other than that, there was nothing else.    

    

Chu Yun rested for a long time before he managed to recover part of his strength. He stood up and walked around the dried up pool, his eyes warily looking at the skeleton inside.    

    

Was the third trial a battle against these skeletons?    

    

After a while, there was still no movement from the skeletons.    

    

"It doesn't look like it."    

    

Chu Yun shook his head and walked out of the cave.    

    

He wanted to thoroughly understand the terrain around him, because staying in an unknown environment would cause a sense of insecurity from the bottom of his heart.    

    

Chu Yun walked along the road in front of him.    

    

Just when Chu Yun was worried that he would get lost, the area in front of him suddenly opened up. He excitedly sped up and walked forward, but was instantly startled by the scene in front of him.    

    

This was a wide cave with a dried up pool in the middle.    

    

He had actually returned to his original spot!    

    

Chu Yun's pupils intensely shrank. He was one hundred percent sure that this was the cave he had just stayed in, because there was still a pool of blood on the ground.    

    

There were only two paths in the cave. He walked into the front and one in the back, but came out from the back. This meant that the cave did not lead to two ends, but rather to an extremely strange circle.    

    

No matter how he walked, he could only circle around the circular cave.    

    

"Is there no entrance to this cave?"    

    

Chu Yun was extremely suspicious. This time, he walked towards the road behind him and intentionally made some markings along the way.    

    

Unexpectedly, after a circle, he returned to the starting point.    

    

Chu Yun had no choice but to submit to reality. It seemed that he had been set up in the cave for this trial.    

    

But, what was this trial exactly?    

    

Chu Yun took a few steps forward, and looked at the skeleton in the dried up pond again, as though he was thinking about something.    

    

Could the secret be in this pool?    

    

Or on these skeletons?    

    

As if it could feel Chu Yun's gaze, the dried up pool started to emit a dense wave, and the dense nature spirit energy automatically gathered in the pool.    

    

From the first drop, it gradually turned into a vast ocean. The torrential waves surged endlessly, slapping the sky until it emitted sizzling sounds.    

    

Chu Yun's expression turned cold, and thought in his heart: Could it be that you want me to jump into this test?    

    

Looking at the dried up bones, an idea suddenly surfaced in Chu Yun's mind. These bones must be the bones of the warriors that had broken through to the third trial, and it was unknown how many years they had existed for.    

    

Their skeletons were actually in the pool. This meant that they had failed and died here.    

    

Was he going to follow the path they had taken and jump into the pool?    

    

After some hesitation, Chu Yun finally decided to investigate further.    

    

This was the assessment barrier of the Dragon-Seizing Gate, not a hopeless situation. Since the designer had designed this barrier, it meant that there must be a way to clear it.    

    

It was impossible for anyone to come up with a question without a solution to it.    

    

Chu Yun took a deep breath, leaped up, and fiercely jumped into the pond.    

    

"Boom!"    

    

Bang!! With a loud noise, like a meteorite falling to the ground, it was as if a drop of water had suddenly dropped into a vast ocean. The dense spirit energy flowing from all directions completely drowned Chu Yun.    

    

Chu Yun's pupils contracted intensely as he felt an endless amount of spirit energy gush into his body.    

    

This speed was simply too fast. He was unable to struggle at all and was firmly locked in place.    

    

The spirit energy in the pond did not care whether Chu Yun could handle it or not, as it crazily poured into him, completely disregarding all reason and gushing into his bones and limbs.    

    

The speed at which the spirit qi was being channeled was extremely fast, making Chu Yun unable to resist it.    

    

"Boom!" BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM! "Boom!"    

    

Chu Yun felt as if his brain was exploding, as if someone was beating his head with a gigantic hammer.    

    

Not only that, many parts of his skin were also on the verge of rupturing.    

    

No one could withstand such a violent infusion of spiritual energy. It was like forcefully filling a small bottle with water. If the amount of water inside exceeded the bottle's endurance limit, the bottle would definitely explode.    

    

Right now, Chu Yun was just that small bottle. Endless amounts of spirit energy was being poured into his body, and he had no other choice but to grit his teeth and use all of his power to refine the spirit energy that had entered his body.    

    

However, how could the speed of his refinement compare with the speed of the spiritual energy's influx?    

    

"Damn it, are they trying to blow my body up?"    

    

A sense of crisis surfaced in Chu Yun's heart, and he could not help but growl.    

    

He wanted to resist, but he didn't have the power to break out of the pool.    

    

The surrounding spiritual energy was like an invisible mountain pressing down on his body, rendering him unable to move.    

    

"Bam!"    

    

The skin on Chu Yun's back immediately ruptured, and a large amount of fresh blood sprayed out.    

    

The amount of spirit energy that had been poured into his body was simply too enormous. Even with Chu Yun's strong physique, he was unable to endure such a terrifying amount.    

    

"This is my limit, my limit!"    

    

Chu Yun's face turned sinister as he roared.    

    

He knew very well that if he couldn't escape from this pool, what awaited him would be the end result of his spiritual energy bursting!    

    

"Buzz!"    

    

With a light sound, hundreds of engravings lit up around the pool, just like a fish swimming in water, rippling unceasingly.    

    

Following the flickering of the mysterious patterns in the pond, the limitless amount of spirit energy surged again, pressing Chu Yun down onto the ground. He laid down on the bottom of the pond, beside the bones, and his position was no different from before.    

    

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"    

    

Chu Yun's face contorted and he could not help but roar out.    

    

The skin all over his body was torn open, but the spirit energy that rushed into his body did not stop flowing into his meridians, nourishing his flesh and bones, expanding his meridians, strengthening his bones!    

    

Every minute, every second, Chu Yun's body was becoming stronger and the amount of spirit energy he was refining was also increasing.    

    

This was a process of ascension, but at the same time, it was also a process of suffering.    

    

"My consciousness is starting to blur."    

    

Chu Yun felt darkness in front of his eyes, and his eyelids felt so heavy that he couldn't lift them at all.    

    

"This won't do. In the first two trials, I broke through my limits time after time. I've already given my all. If I die in the last trial, wouldn't that mean all my previous efforts would be for naught? "    

    

Chu Yun fiercely gritted his teeth, and after a short moment of making a decision, he made a bold decision.    

    

That was to break through to the next realm!    

    

He would refine all the endless spiritual energy that had entered his body, and then charge to an even higher realm!    

    

Chu Yun gave it his best, using his last bit of consciousness to control the spirit energy to charge into a new realm.    

    

"Coo, coo, coo!"    

    

The spiritual energy in his meridians boiled and roared like raging flood. With a boom, they broke through the shackles of cultivation realm.    

    

Ninth level of Qi Condensation!    

    

Chu Yun's body's meridians instantly expanded by three points, the pressure on his body that was almost unable to take it suddenly decreased by several times, and the pain immediately disappeared.    

    

After reaching the ninth stage of Qi Condensation, Chu Yun's speed of refining spirit energy had clearly increased by quite a bit, and the limit of what his body could endure had increased by a large amount!    

    

However, this was not the end. The spiritual energy in the pool was still raging, pouring into his body.    

    

After a few breaths, Chu Yun once again felt his body expanding. The small bottle in his hand was once again filled with spirit energy!    

    

"Boom!"    

    

The supreme battle spirit suddenly appeared, its body was shining with a cold black light. Unexpectedly, it had uncontrollably increased its strength by one level, reaching the third level of the Profound Rank.    

    

"Who would've thought that even after raising my level, I wouldn't be able to withstand the infusion of this tyrannical spiritual energy!"    

    

Chu Yun clenched his teeth and roared: "Since it's not enough, then I will charge again, rush again! If the ninth level of Qi Condensation wasn't enough, then he would reach the tenth level! Ten levels is not enough, 1st level of the Genuine Force! "    

    

Refining!    

    

Crazy refinement!    

    

Chu Yun's unyielding will and unwillingness to give in to such a fighting spirit forcefully supported his body.    

    

Never in his wildest dreams had he imagined that refining spiritual energy would also be painful to such an extent.    

    

Finally, in the time it took for an incense stick to burn, Chu Yun felt the shackles loosen up once again.    

    

Tenth level of Qi Condensation!    

    

The moment he levelled up to the tenth stage of Qi transformation, Chu Yun felt as if the spirit energy in his body was being sucked out of him by a whale.    

    

Even then, the speed at which the Spirit Qi poured in had slowed down, the engravings on the walls of the pool had become dim, Chu Yun's consciousness that was struggling to hold on had finally relaxed.    

    

"Is this what it means to be able to hold on?"    

    

Chu Yun spat out a mouthful of blood, his voice was hoarse, he forcefully turned his head to look at the bones, and laughed: "Brother, I have not lived enough, I do not wish to stay here to accompany you!"    

    

After saying that, tiredness washed over him like floodwaters, Chu Yun's eyelids shut tightly as he tilted his head and fell asleep.    

    

This sleep of his lasted for three days.    

    

When he opened his eyes again, it was already three days later. From the beginning to the end, it was as if he had been dreaming, and it caused an extremely surreal feeling to rise from the bottom of Chu Yun's heart.    

    

In the center of the pool, countless dark engravings formed a simple teleportation array, glowing softly.    

    

This teleportation formation was exactly the same as when he entered.    

    

"The third stage is a test of endurance!"    

    

Recalling the pain he experienced three days ago, Chu Yun couldn't help but shiver. He never wanted to experience the feeling of having his body forcefully broken.    

    

The spirit energy that gushed out from the pool was the purest form of the world's spirit energy. It was much purer than the spirit energy that was brought about by the elixirs and elixirs!    

    

Logically speaking, the third stage was equivalent to giving you gifts. The longer you persisted, the greater the improvement.    

    

Not only was there an increase in realm, there was also an increase in body, will, and soul.    

    

Of course, the prerequisite was that you had to persevere, not get blown apart by the spiritual energy.    

    

Those skeletons should be martial artists that couldn't withstand it halfway. They had finally reached the third stage with great difficulty, but they died after being injected with spiritual energy. It was truly sad!    

    

But having said that, even Chu Yun's body, which was comparable to a normal dragon's, was almost unable to hold on.    

    

The current Chu Yun was more than twice as strong as before he came in! The tenth stage of Qi transformation, the third stage of the Profound Ranked Martial Spirit, the improved martial skills, and the increasingly proficient Berserk Dragon Blade Art.    

    

And all of this was thanks to the Dragon Gate!    

    

Chu Yun took a deep breath, unable to conceal his excitement. It looks like the gift and great gift that Ye Xuan mentioned was really not a lie.    

    

"I've been in here for quite some time, I should be getting out of here as soon as possible!"    

    

Chu Yun stepped into the teleportation circle.
