ho was in the Zhūtiānjìyù, also showed a look of astonishment on his face, his eyebrows furrowed tightly!This blue sword, named Tiānjī Sword, served as the weapon of the Eight Lords. Among artifacts,...As these talismans rapidly grew larger, the many cultivators deep within the abyss all changed color.

The outside world could only see the changes in the runes, but deep within the abyss, they could feel a terrifying pressure coming from all directions much more clearly.

Numerous cultivators also immediately had various kinds of energy fluctuations rising from their bodies.

Because the use of defensive domains is prohibited here, and facing an overwhelming surge of fierce runes, they can only rely on their own cultivation levels to counter them, preventing these runes from approaching, or even entering their bodies.

For a moment, everyone truly showcased their unique abilities. One after another, defenses formed, each born from their own inner strength.

Some cultivators directly condensed a piece of armor with their own strength and wore it on their body.

Some monks, however, condensed themselves into shields, surrounding themselves.

Above Jiang Kunlun's body, a wisp of pale gold gas rose, enveloping him entirely.

Nie Kong's body, along with the space around him, twisted abruptly within a three-foot radius. It was as if both his form and his surroundings were warped, becoming indistinct.

Inuo took a deep breath, and a halo of light appeared around his body.

Of all those present, only Jiang Yun sat in the darkness without employing any means or defenses, calmly gazing at the runes.

"

Boom boom boom!"

Just then, a series of deafening roars erupted, and countless runes finally began to collide with the cultivators' bodies.

The armor shields and other defensive items that some monks condensed outside their bodies were simply vulnerable, unable to withstand the power of those runes. In an instant, they were shattered.

This way, their bodies would naturally be exposed to the runes.

Although some of them were quick to react, launching attacks towards the runes in an attempt to halt their approach.

But it's a shame their attacks were hardly effective.

"Poof poof poof!"

Thus, another series of impact sounds rang out.

Countless runes successfully surged into the bodies of these cultivators.

And the next moment, these cultivators could no longer maintain their seated postures, one by one they were knocked flying.

However, strangely enough, their bodies, which had been flung about by the impact, detached themselves from the edge of the abyss and returned to reality the instant they touched it.

Therefore, cultivators outside the abyss could clearly see, one by one, how cultivators flew out like fledgling swallows falling into a forest.

Members of each family and clan also hurriedly stood up to catch these people and check their injuries.

Strangely, almost everyone was unharmed.

He is just unconscious.

Of course, this also means that these cultivators have been eliminated and lost the opportunity to continue the trials.

Fortunately, they are still alive! Time has passed in the blink of an eye, and the number of cultivators who have been shaken into the abyss has already exceeded a hundred.

These cultivators who have made it to this point all passed the first round of trials, yet in the second round they were unable to last even a single breath.

This, to anyone who thinks about it, is incredibly powerful.

But, one cultivator who was still conscious whispered to his elder: "Actually, the power of those runes is not attacking our bodies, but our souls!"

As those runes flowed into my body, my soul felt as if it were about to dissipate.

This statement wasn't particularly surprising to the crowd.

Because the Purple-Robe Heavenly Inspector said it very clearly, the second round of trials tests one's willpower, so attacking the soul with runes is also reasonable.

The monk paused, then a look of uncertainty suddenly appeared on his face. "Moreover," he said, "I feel like this abyss seems to have its own consciousness!"

The monk's elders, upon hearing this, shook their head and chuckled, saying, "If you had said that earlier, I might have believed you, but now I don't."

The consciousness you feel is inevitably the same as that dark figure from before, coming from a great celestial being!

The monk opened his mouth, wanting to say something more, but ultimately he said nothing. He simply turned his gaze towards the other monks who were still lost in the abyss.

In the depths, there are nearly three hundred cultivators who have all successfully persisted for a breath of time.

However, everyone's circumstances are also different.

Most people wore grim expressions, contorted features, and taut cheek muscles as they strained against the runes.

Some people kept their usual composure, especially those who were Seed Cultivators.

Outside Jiang Kunlun's body, a faint golden aura still enveloped him, and countless runes circled around it. They couldn't break through this layer of aura, let alone touch Jiang Kunlun's body.

Nie Kong's situation was the same. All the runes that charged towards him were blocked outside of the three-foot distorted space.

In short, at this point, everyone could clearly see the difference in strength between each cultivator.

When everyone's eyes turned to Jiang Yun, one by one their faces turned grim.

Because within Ginger Cloud's body, streaks of runes are continuously pouring in! Yet, his body remains as steady as a mountain, completely unmoved! While everyone else is resisting the runes, they dare not let them come near.

But Ke Jiangyun went against the grain, allowing these runes to pour into his body.

Others probably can't fathom the terror of this rune, but those cultivators who have been eliminated understand it very well. In their eyes, Jiang Yun's actions are simply astounding.

What kind of powerful soul would it take to withstand the attacks of these runes

This led them all to wonder if Ginger Cloud had used some kind of magic artifact again.

However, it's probably not going to happen, after all, thirteen Great Heavenly Venerables are watching over us.

If Ginger Cloud truly relied on outside forces, wouldn't they stop her

And at this moment, the thirteen Great Celestial Lords were also involuntarily widening their eyes, all staring intently at Jiang Yun, with a trace of disbelief in their eyes.

The Heavenly Venerable's voice echoed, "Could it be that Jiang Yun has also come into contact with beings beyond the Gathering Realm"

The Void Heaven Lord said faintly, "It's possible!"

"Remember, Jiang Qiuyang originally comes from the realm of Gathering Spirits. As his son, Jiang Yun might be naturally able to perceive that 'intent'."

However, the angel shook his head and said, "You overestimate them both."

Even above the realm of gathering spirits, not everyone can perceive it. At first, Jiang Qiuyang was even inferior to us in this aspect.

> It wasn't until later that he gradually realized.

"But this Ginger Cloud has only been practicing for how many years Even if his talent is extraordinary, it wouldn't be so easy to notice!"

I think it's because his soul is strong enough, far surpassing that of others, that he can withstand these runes.

The words of the Angel of Patrol caused twelve Great Heavenly Venerables to nod after a moment of silence.

The Angel of Watch said it right.

With Ginger Cloud's strength, she could naturally stop these runes from entering her body.

But, upon closer observation of these runes, he felt that they shared some similarities with all the patterns he had ever encountered.

After all, Jiangyun had spent nearly a hundred reincarnations observing and reorganizing countless runes.

Moreover, thinking back to the laws of power these runes composed, Jiang Yun instantly made a bold decision and proactively allowed these runes to surge into his body.

Because he wanted to see if he could absorb these runes and transform them into the power of laws, merging them with his own power of the Dao! If possible, then perhaps he could break through to the Breaking Law Realm! It's a pity, however, that he couldn't absorb these runes at all.

And now, he could also see that the target of these runes was his own soul.

Only in one's own soul, that drop of blood from one's first life, emitted a golden light, preventing these runes from approaching.

Jiang Yun said to himself, "If I suppress the blood and let these runes enter my soul, could I absorb them"

"Hmph!"

Just then, a strange sound suddenly came from the depths of this abyss. think I'm already dead!"Since I have already hurt them once, why should I hurt them again"Since I've already been selfish to this point, let me just keep being selfish!"Ginger silently nodded her hea...
