Nearly a month had passed since the Ninth Pass opened.

At dawn, a red sun rose into the sky, chasing away the boundless darkness. Sunlight spilled across the land, brimming with vitality. The Spiritual Qi surged, overflowing with vibrant energy.

Below the Battle Platform, the crowd had not dispersed. Instead, it was gradually growing larger.

Their enthusiasm hadn’t faded with the passing of days and nights. On the contrary, it had only grown more intense with time.

At the front of the crowd stood a group of young prodigies.

These were the geniuses who had entered the Ninth Pass, only to be eliminated.

Although they had been eliminated, they had fought for their Sects and earned everyone’s respect. Allowing them to stand at the very front was the greatest sign of this respect.

BOOM!

Amid the clamor, a heaven-shattering bang resounded, echoing through the Nine Heavens and spreading across the Endless Wilderness!

Immediately after, a colossal pillar of light erupted from the Barbarian God Battle Platform and pierced the firmament. A giant, swirling nebula formed in the void.

A massive, illusory giant stepped out of the swirling nebula. Its figure landed on the Barbarian God Battle Platform, its pair of ancient, murky, yet profound eyes gazing down upon the crowd.

Instantly, everyone present, even the incomparably mighty Yin Yang Powerhouses, felt their hearts tremble as they were locked in place by a powerful presence.

The previous uproar vanished in an instant, replaced by dead silence. Every pair of eyes stared intently at the giant’s figure.

He said nothing. After sweeping his gaze over the crowd, he stood upon the Barbarian God Battle Platform like an Immortal Barbarian King, his eyes fixed on the ten exits surrounding it.

’The Ninth Pass is about to end!’

Seeing the giant’s actions, everyone understood what was happening.

Tens of thousands of teams and countless people all fixed their eyes on the Barbarian God Battle Platform above.

Soon, their geniuses would emerge there. They would achieve brilliance and attain supreme glory under the watchful eyes of the masses!

The "Strongest Warrior," a title coveted by all of the younger generation, would also be born here, becoming the number one youth in the Endless Wilderness!

Number one!

This was a tremendous honor—an honor for their Sects!

At this thought, the masters of many major influences clenched their fists, their sharp gazes fixed upon the exits, refusing to look away.

’The final battle on the platform is about to begin!’

The same cry echoed in everyone’s hearts.

Once they crossed the final Barbarian God Battle Path, the ultimate contest would begin, and with it, the passionate, highly anticipated battles.

’I wonder who will be the first to step out?’

Countless gazes were fixed on the exits of the passages, their eyes shining with pure anticipation.

"Wudao, Beize Yunzhuo, Liuu Tianlan, and Yang Dingtian are all terrifyingly strong. It’s really hard to say who will be first!"

"My money’s on Beize Yunzhuo. Besides being at the Spiritual Spring Sixth Layer, he cultivates the terrifying Illusion Techniques of the Illusion Race, which makes his true strength unfathomable."

"I’m not so sure. Don’t forget about Yuh Huatian, the dark horse who appeared out of nowhere. He not only stole Yuh Yuzhen’s thunder but also defeated the Nan Family’s top genius, Nan Shan, in their final clash. His strength can’t be ignored."

After a moment of silence, waves of debate erupted once more. Their discussions revolved around the so-called "One King, Two Hegemons, Three Beauties, and Four Prodigies," as well as the biggest dark horse, Yuh Huatian.

Beyond them, no one else was mentioned.

The favorites were Beize Yunzhuo, Wudao, and Liuu Tianlan. Everyone believed the first three to emerge would certainly be from this group.

But while the crowd was busy debating, two giants were facing off inside one of the passages.

The golden giant was Ye Wushuang’s Giant Spirit True Body. The other was the fourth giant, who was blocking his path.

BOOM!

The fourth giant raised its Space Axe high. After shattering the Tyrant Dragon, it brought the axe down toward Ye Wushuang’s head.

The immense Power of Destruction seemed poised to tear Ye Wushuang to pieces.

A profound sense of crisis welled up in Ye Wushuang’s heart, making him shudder. However, his body remained motionless, his eyes watchful. A voice screamed in his mind, ’Stay calm!’

Suddenly, Ye Wushuang closed his eyes. His aura didn’t change, and he stood as if simply awaiting death.

Within his Divine Court, the ball of saber light containing the "World-Destroying Slash" trembled. The profound and terrifying information it held gradually became clear in Ye Wushuang’s mind.

This was something he had deciphered after absorbing countless streams of Saber Intent in the previous passages.

The Second Slash of the World-Destroying Slash: Three Realms Slaughter!

This was the second move of World Destruction. Ye Wushuang had neither cultivated nor used it before.

But facing the fourth giant, he had no choice but to try. Otherwise, if the stalemate continued and the effects of his Supreme Transformation True Demon wore off, the outcome would be his utter and complete defeat.

Three Realms Slaughter!

It was a terrifying technique of Saber Dao Slaughter, countless times more powerful than the first World-Destroying Slash.

’This is my last chance. I can’t miss it!’

Faced with the killing power of the Space Axe, Ye Wushuang chose to gamble and learn the technique on the spot. If anyone else knew what he was doing, they would likely be scared out of their wits.

The Space Axe descended. It seemed slow, but the power it had accumulated was so terrifying that it caused the very space around it to collapse.

One breath!

Two breaths!

The Space Axe was about to reach his head. The only option was to dodge. Not dodging meant certain death.

The third giant watched Ye Wushuang, completely baffled. ’Does he not want to live anymore?’

Soon, its eyes narrowed. It saw three streaks of blood-red saber light gradually appear on the surface of Ye Wushuang’s body. A heart-pounding aura began to spread through the void.

’This is...’ The hearts of the third giant and the old man at the very bottom trembled. A form of momentum was gradually rising—Saber Momentum!

The entire void filled with the saber’s killing aura as Saber Intent crisscrossed through the air!

World-Destroying Saber Momentum—tyrannical, destructive, and invincible!

SWOOSH!

The instant the Space Axe was about to fall, Ye Wushuang’s eyes snapped open. Two gazes as sharp as saber blades pierced through the void!

"Three Realms Slaughter, First Slash: Heaven-Destroying!"

A supreme Saber Intent poured into the Dragon Blood Battle Saber. The Heaven-Destroying Slash swung upward, unstoppable, as if it could extinguish the very heavens.

BOOM!

The Heaven-Destroying Slash collided with the Space Axe. Instantly, cracks like a spiderweb spread across the incomparably powerful axe.

BANG!

With a final explosive sound, the Space Axe instantly disintegrated!

At the same time, the Heaven-Destroying Slash tore through the void, engulfing the fourth giant and annihilating it along with the space around it.

’He lost!’

Seeing that the fourth giant had also been defeated by Ye Wushuang, the third giant was utterly stunned.

’What was that slash? It concealed Saber Momentum... How terrifying!’

BOOM!

The figure of the fourth giant coalesced from the void once more. It looked at Ye Wushuang in astonishment. The final outcome was still its defeat!

"What was that slash just now called?"

The fourth giant was curious. It had lost to a cultivator at the Spiritual Spring Second Layer!

"Three Realms Slaughter, First Slash: Heaven-Destroying!"

Ye Wushuang stated calmly. He had successfully executed the second move of the World-Destroying Slash at the moment of life and death!

"The first slash?"

’Just the first slash was enough to defeat me. Three Realms Slaughter... How terrifying!’

The fourth giant stared at Ye Wushuang and said, "Since that was the first slash, there must be more. Can you tell me what comes next?"

"No."

Ye Wushuang refused without hesitation, then asked, "Can I go now?"

"You may leave whenever you wish. You defeated me, so I cannot stop you."

The fourth giant nodded. "However, you used a Forbidden Technique and are now in a weakened state. You need to recover. If you tell me what comes next, I can help you once, allowing you to take this final step in your peak condition."
