Before the ten long corridors, the crowd grew larger and larger. All eyes were fixed on the silver screen of light blocking the way. To step inside, one must possess a Barbarian God Order.

However, not everyone had a Barbarian God Order, which meant that not everyone could enter.

Ye Wushuang looked at the Barbarian God Order in his hand, his brow furrowing slightly. He turned to the others. If what Dii Qingxue said was true, it meant only a few of them could enter, while the rest would be eliminated.

Yunn Xiao also said, "The points from all our Points Tokens combined are only enough for a few people to get in. Of the ten of us, at least some will have to be eliminated."

Hearing this, Ye Wushuang fell into thought. ’Perhaps now I understand why Nangong Liuyun arranged for a ten-person squad. It was likely for this very moment.’

The ten of them had gone through countless hardships to reach the Ninth Pass, only for a select few to be chosen to proceed. The others could only offer up their points and leave in disappointment.

Ye Rou stepped forward and smiled faintly. "Xiaoshuang, if the Ancient Spirit Sect wants to hold on to a top-ten position, we must concentrate our strongest forces. Among us, Yunn Xiao, Senior Sister Dii, and Jian Bufan are the strongest. You four should be the ones to enter."

"That’s right. We’ll pool our points and give them to you. Fight for our Ancient Spirit Sect."

Meng Fanx and the others also came forward, choosing to leave.

As it was, there were only four Barbarian God Orders. Only four people were qualified to proceed.

The four of them nodded. After all, given the circumstances, this was the only way.

Seeing this, the others all smiled and handed their points over to Ye Wushuang’s group of four.

"Captain, we’re leaving the rest to you."

Handing his points to Ye Wushuang, Meng Fanx managed a faint, yet bitter, smile. After fighting all the way to the Ninth Pass, who wouldn’t want to step onto the final Battle Platform? Even if it was just for a fleeting moment of glory, they would have done it without hesitation.

Ye Wushuang nodded solemnly.

"Wushuang, I’ll be watching from below. Fight for yourself, fight for us, and fight for the Ancient Spirit Sect!"

Qiu Mo stepped forward and thumped Ye Wushuang on the chest.

"I will. There will be a share of glory for all of you," Ye Wushuang said firmly. This was the result of everyone’s sacrifice, and their collective mission now rested on his shoulders. He would fight this battle to the very end and live up to everyone’s expectations!

After speaking, Ye Wushuang scanned the crowd but didn’t see Pann Wu or his people. Even Mo Wentian was nowhere to be found.

’No matter. The Ninth Pass, the Barbarian God Battle Platform... this is a testament to the rise of the Giant Spirit Clan. They will set foot here, and they will set foot on the Battle Platform to write their own glorious history.’

Ye Wushuang’s gaze was sharp, his blood burning with passion. The Giant Spirit Clan would become warriors who conquered the heavens. How could he not be proud to be the Priest of such a people!

Drawing back his gaze, Ye Wushuang took a deep breath, turned to his three companions, and said, "I’ll be the first one to go in!"

"The Barbarian God Battle Path is the final test, and the most difficult. You must be careful."

Dii Qingxue reminded him.

The Barbarian God Battle Path was the true test of the Ninth Pass. Everything before was merely preparation—preparation for the Battle Dao.

Ye Wushuang nodded and stepped forward. He took out the Barbarian God Order, which now contained the points of several others. They had sacrificed for him and left in disappointment, and he now carried that weight on his shoulders.

"Captain, we will be proud of you!"

Meng Fanx shouted.

’Proud of me? You will be!’

Ye Wushuang clenched his fist and placed the Barbarian God Order into the groove.

Then, without hesitation, he strode through. Even if the silver screen of light were an impassable chasm, he had to cross it. Meng Fanx and the others had placed their hopes in him, and he refused to let them down!

RUMBLE!

The screen of light trembled, its radiance flaring intensely and shooting out in all directions. Everyone’s gaze snapped over. Someone had finally set foot on the Barbarian God Battle Path.

Ye Wushuang was in!

The expressions of Yuh Huatian and his group darkened. Clearly, they had failed to claim the honor of being first.

"Let’s go too."

A series of loud shouts echoed from the various corridors, reverberating through the mountains.

RUMBLE!

Not long after Ye Wushuang entered, the figures of Pann Wu and his men appeared on the flat ground. The earth quaked and a wild storm raged, striking fear into the hearts of all who witnessed it.

Their bodies stood as tall and firm as mountains, their rippling muscles filled with power. Clad in black iron armor, they looked like an unstoppable force of valiant warriors.

Their gazes swept over the crowd, searching for their Lord Priest!

When they spotted Dii Qingxue, they walked over to her.

"He has already gone inside," Dii Qingxue said coolly.

Hearing this, Pann Wu nodded, his eyes on the silver screen of light, which still rippled and shimmered.

"Welcome to the Barbarian God Battle Path. You have two hours to clear the trial!"

As he stepped through, a voice suddenly rang out in the void. Ye Wushuang paused for a moment, his eyes flashing, before continuing down the long corridor.

His Divine Sense spread out to cover every corner, probing for any potential dangers.

The Barbarian God Battle Path was fraught with peril. He did not take it lightly, but neither was he afraid. No one could stop his advance toward the Battle Platform.

The corridor was empty and deathly silent, stretching on endlessly as if it had no end.

Upon entering the Barbarian God Battle Path, the first thing Ye Wushuang encountered was a series of fire walls. Terrifying flames lunged at him, a horrifying sight.

Ye Wushuang strode forward, walking directly into the walls of fire. The flames erupted, engulfing his body, but his powerful Treasure Body ensured he remained completely unharmed.

BOOM!

Passing through the flames, Ye Wushuang’s figure flickered and reappeared on a wide battle stage. Accompanied by a deafening roar, a series of shadows loomed over him.

One by one, giant figures climbed up from below the stage. The power they exuded was comparable to the Spiritual Spring Fourth and Fifth Layers, an even more heart-pounding sight.

BOOM! BOOM!

The moment they appeared, the giant figures looked down on Ye Wushuang, their massive palms descending upon him as if to crush him to pulp.

’Giant Spirit Battle Puppets... No, wait, they should be Barbarian God War Puppets!’

Looking at the emerging giants, a smile touched the corner of Ye Wushuang’s lips. Their hard outer shells were so similar to the Giant Spirit Battle Puppets he had encountered in the Earth Palace before, except for their weak points—one was under the armpit, the other below the throat.

’Are they sending me some free bodyguards again? Break!’

He chuckled, executing the Seven Steps of the Reversed Dragon. Slipping through the tiniest of openings, he shot toward the throat of each War Puppet.

BANG, BANG, BANG...

A series of soft popping sounds rang out. Before the destructive palms could even land, Ye Wushuang had already retrieved several Top-Grade Spirit Stones.

A dozen or so Barbarian God War Puppets all stood motionless beside Ye Wushuang before being quickly stored away in his True Dragon Space.

After dealing with the Barbarian God War Puppets, Ye Wushuang didn’t stop. He continued forward, and a moment later, he arrived before a screen of light.

This screen of light was as transparent as a mirror, reflecting Ye Wushuang’s image.

Ye Wushuang’s steps came to a halt. He frowned as he looked at the multiple reflections of himself. The expressions on the figures in the light screen, however, remained unchanged as their forms gradually turned black.

BOOM! BOOM!

Following that, a series of black-clad "Ye Wushuangs" stepped out from the screen of light.
