BOOM!

Ye Wushuang didn’t spare a glance behind him. His gaze was fixed on the Light Gate ahead, his eyes filled with resolve. Only by stepping through it would he reach the end, and no one could stop him.

"Get out of my way!"

The two words escaped Ye Wushuang’s lips, cold as ice.

He didn’t stop, moving like a bolt of lightning. In a flash, he was already charging toward the second giant figure blocking his path.

Slice!

The Dragon Blood Battle Saber streaked through the air like a bolt of crimson lightning. Empowered by his Invincible Saber Intent, it cleaved the giant right down the middle, causing it to dissipate into nothingness.

At the same time, Ye Wushuang charged toward the third giant.

He swung his Dragon Blood Battle Saber down swiftly, the blade’s crimson light dazzling to behold.

However,

SWOOSH! The third giant’s eyes suddenly flew open. A terrifying power abruptly erupted from its placid body.

"Just as I thought!"

Seeing this, a cold smile spread across Ye Wushuang’s face. He recalled the old man’s words and found them utterly ridiculous.

’He’d agree to any condition?’

’Who could possibly satisfy a person’s every condition?’

’Even a so-called Saint probably couldn’t do it!’

Therefore, the promise to "satisfy any condition" was nothing more than a joke. Its only purpose was to stall Ye Wushuang and waste his three hours.

It was also a ploy to buy time for the last three giants to awaken. Unfortunately for them, Ye Wushuang saw through the ruse and pierced the old man’s body without hesitation.

In the blink of an eye, the second giant had also been easily destroyed, but the third one had now awakened.

Instantly, the terrifying aura of the Spiritual Spring Fifth Layer radiated outwards.

Just then, the old man’s illusory figure reformed behind Ye Wushuang. It turned to stare at him, completely astonished.

’He actually saw through it. What a clever little fellow!’

The old man was shocked. To have reacted so quickly was completely unexpected.

"Get out of my way!"

Ye Wushuang barked coldly. As he charged, he brought his Dragon Blood Battle Saber down with full force, holding nothing back.

The third giant reacted instantly, shifting its body just enough for the Dragon Blood Battle Saber to slice through empty air.

"You are very clever, and your talent is extraordinary. If you had a little more time, I believe you would be the undisputed Strongest Warrior of the Battle Platform. No one would be able to defeat you,"

"But unfortunately, you were born a few years too late. Your strength is only at the Spiritual Spring Second Layer, and the gap between you and the others is just too great."

Reaching this point so easily at only the Spiritual Spring Second Layer meant his talent and temperament had been tested and proven superior to all other participants in the trial. This alone was enough to make Ye Wushuang proud.

However, what this final stage tested was raw strength!

Staring at Ye Wushuang, the third giant said, "So, give up. Just shout that you concede, and we will let you pass. You’ll receive a rank of eleventh place in the trial."

"Eleventh place in the trial?"

Ye Wushuang was confused. ’There are rankings within the Barbarian God Battle Path?’

"You have already defeated the two before you and were the first to arrive here. Therefore, you are ranked eleventh in this trial. It will be displayed on your Barbarian God Order. With this rank, you can challenge anyone below the top ten."

The giant seemed very patient, explaining slowly.

"I see. Thank you for the explanation. To show my gratitude, I’ll give you a palm strike." Ye Wushuang nodded, his expression turning solemn. He quickly formed a hand seal, and in the void above, a sea of blood churned. A demonic and chilling crimson light blazed forth.

"Perish!"

With a sharp downward thrust of his hand, a massive blood-red palm descended from the sky to suppress everything below. It covered half the corridor, looking as if it would smash the entire passageway to pieces.

The third giant was astounded. It hadn’t expected someone at the Spiritual Spring Second Layer like Ye Wushuang to possess such power.

"It seems I must take back what I just said. Your strength is indeed quite interesting!"

The third giant’s expression turned fierce. It thrust a fist toward the heavens. The massive fist rose like a mountain from the earth, wrapped in terrifying energy as it slammed into the Heavenly Concealing Hand.

CRACK!

The immense force caused the Heavenly Concealing Hand to crack and explode continuously, sending terrifying shockwaves blasting toward them both.

The third giant’s body remained motionless, standing firm and unshakeable like a mountain peak.

At the same time, it was surprised to find that Ye Wushuang also stood like an unmoving mountain amidst the terrifying shockwaves.

Shockwaves like these were powerful enough to annihilate anyone at the Spiritual Spring Fourth or Fifth Layer, yet they couldn’t affect Ye Wushuang, who was only at the Spiritual Spring Second Layer.

"Get out of my way!"

Ye Wushuang let out a cold shout. He continuously formed hand seals as streams of True Essence poured into the sea of blood, causing the Heavenly Concealing Hand to gradually expand.

"You are strong, but you will not pass."

The third giant’s gaze hardened. Its first fist trembled violently as it seized the opportunity to smash upward with its other fist.

BOOM!

The massive blood-red hand was obliterated.

At that same moment, Ye Wushuang moved.

Using the Seven Steps of the Reversed Dragon, his speed reached its absolute peak. The Barbaric Tyrant Dragon Fist transformed into a golden Tyrant Dragon that roared viciously, piercing through the third giant’s body in an instant.

Ye Wushuang’s body shot through the gaping hole.

CRACK!

The third giant disintegrated. It wasn’t long before it reformed again, staring at Ye Wushuang’s back in disbelief. It couldn’t believe it had been defeated just like that.

"This is the final stage. If you can get past me, you will be able to step onto the Battle Platform and achieve first place in this trial. Once you enter the Battle Platform, you will be qualified to challenge anyone."

The fourth giant had long since awakened. Two beams of divine light shot from its eyes as an incomparably formidable power was unleashed, sweeping down the length of the corridor.

"Spiritual Spring Seventh Layer!"

Ye Wushuang’s gaze froze for a moment.

The giant blocking his path was at the Spiritual Spring Seventh Layer of Cultivation, five minor realms above him. The gap between their Realms was simply too vast.

However, no matter how powerful a Spiritual Spring Seventh Layer cultivator was, now that he had come this far, he had to press on.

’Spiritual Spring Seventh Layer... I wonder how that compares to Wudao and the others’ strength. It probably isn’t much different. I wonder if I can handle this level of power?’

’I’ll test myself here first!’

With a resolute gaze, Ye Wushuang hefted his Dragon Blood Battle Saber and charged.

Even if it was the Spiritual Spring Seventh Layer, he would fight!

"Give up. You may have passed the first three, but you will not get past me."

The fourth giant spoke calmly, advising Ye Wushuang to turn back.

"How will I know if I can’t pass if I don’t even try?"

Ye Wushuang refused to believe it. His goal was right in front of him; how could he cower in the face of an obstacle? If he didn’t try, how would he ever know the outcome?

So, let’s fight!

BOOM!

As he charged, Ye Wushuang raised his Dragon Blood Battle Saber and brought it slashing down. A crimson blade light, dozens of feet long, flashed out, carrying with it the killing intent and tyrannical might of the saber!

The fourth giant stopped talking. It instantly raised a terrifyingly large palm and slapped it fiercely toward Ye Wushuang.

The sheer force made the void tremble, shatter, and collapse like a broken mirror as it descended upon Ye Wushuang. The power was utterly terrifying, capable of destroying everything in its path.
