Nine Realms Sword Emperor-Chapter 1408 - 1409: The 21st Floor!

21st level.

The top level of the Martial Arts Tower.

The entire Martial Arts Tower, only this last level remains unlit.

Upon winning this level, Chu Fengmian will have conquered the Martial Arts Tower.

Whether he can conquer this level, Chu Fengmian is uncertain; during the battle of the 20th level, he had already used all his strength.

He even resorted to mutually destructive moves, with victory hinging on a hair’s breadth.

If this 21st level is stronger by even a bit, Chu Fengmian doesn’t stand a chance.

But since he’s here, there’s no talk of retreating; no matter what, Chu Fengmian must fight one battle.

Chu Fengmian’s gaze swept over the front; the 21st level also consisted of a sea of stars.

Compared to the 20th level, it was even vaster; looking out over it, the sky is filled with stars, numbering in the millions.

Among these millions of stars, the nine stars are the most brilliant, like the moon surrounded by stars, positioned above thousands of stars.

Except.

This time, no bronze man appeared.

"This 21st level, is it not about battling the bronze man?"

Chu Fengmian furrowed his brow.

Just then, the nine stars among the myriad stars suddenly emitted nine rays of light, landing in front of Chu Fengmian.

A figure slowly walked out within these nine rays of light.

This was a middle-aged man, dressed in a long robe, upon which thousands of stars were etched; all these stars could only turn into his attire.

He slowly walked out from the nine stars, like the sovereign of these nine stars.

"Unexpected, after hundreds of thousands of years, someone has finally stepped into this 21st level."

The middle-aged man’s eyes looked at Chu Fengmian, under this gaze, every trump card on Chu Fengmian’s body seemed to be seen through.

"Prospective Emperor, interesting, among the world’s Imperial Sovereigns, none could come to this 21st level, unexpected that the one who came would be a Prospective Emperor."

Regardless of how Chu Fengmian tried to resist, he couldn’t stop the middle-aged man’s gaze; the gap in strength had already reached a point where Chu Fengmian was unable to fight back.

Heavenly Human Realm, this is definitely the power of the Heavenly Human Realm!

Chu Fengmian roughly guessed the identity of this middle-aged man in front of him.

Jiuxuan Immortal Venerable.

The only person who could appear on this 21st level of the Martial Arts Tower is Jiuxuan Immortal Venerable.

"Greetings, Immortal Venerable."

Chu Fengmian looked at Jiuxuan Immortal Venerable and said.

Facing an Immortal Venerable, Chu Fengmian must maintain respect, respect for the strong.

"Little one, you are here for my Nine Profound Immortal Technique, right?"

Jiuxuan Immortal Venerable heard Chu Fengmian’s words and did not refute Chu Fengmian’s address, already proving his identity.

Jiuxuan Immortal Venerable, the figure renowned in the Star River.

"Originally, I established this Martial Arts Tower to give future generations a chance; as long as they can pass this 21st level of the Martial Arts Tower, they can obtain my Nine Profound Immortal Technique; unfortunately, over hundreds of thousands of years, no one could come."

Jiuxuan Immortal Venerable muttered to himself.

"Unexpected that at the decline of martial arts, at the moment my power is about to dissipate, someone would come."

"Little one, if you want to obtain the Nine Profound Immortal Technique, I can give it to you; even all the treasures in this cave residence, I can give to you, as long as you pass my trial, all of this belongs to you."

Jiuxuan Immortal Venerable looked at Chu Fengmian, smiling as he spoke.

"No more suspense, my trial is this 21st level of the Martial Arts Tower; if you can pass this level, you pass the trial."

"Your opponent on the 21st level of the Martial Arts Tower is me; defeat me, and you have passed the trial."

"Defeat you?"

Even though Chu Fengmian had guessed this much, upon hearing Jiuxuan Immortal Venerable say it, he was still shocked.

The one in front of him, this is Jiuxuan Immortal Venerable, an invincible strongman even within the Heavenly Human Realm.

The true Jiuxuan Immortal Venerable, even though he has long fallen, the Jiuxuan Immortal Venerable before him, Chu Fengmian could see, should be a force left behind by Jiuxuan Immortal Venerable.

But even the force he left behind possesses the strength of the Heavenly Human Realm, making Chu Fengmian fight with the Heavenly Human Realm now? Impossible.

"Indeed, defeat me."

Jiuxuan Immortal Venerable nodded and spoke.

"Of course, I will not use Spiritual Power; you and I will compete in Martial Arts attainments, I will use my martial arts from the time of the Nine Tribulations Ancient Emperor to fight with you."

"But little one, be cautious; during my time as the Nine Tribulations Ancient Emperor, I had already created the Nine Profound Immortal Technique, though it’s incomplete, enough to obliterate the Heavenly Human Realm."

Jiuxuan Immortal Venerable said, expression serene.

"I’ve seen your swordsmanship; to be honest, when I was a Prospective Emperor, I had never had such martial arts insight like yours, but rules are rules, whether you’re a Prospective Emperor or the Nine Tribulations Ancient Emperor, I’ll fight with the martial arts of the Nine Tribulations Ancient Emperor."

Chu Fengmian quietly listened to all of this.

The opponent on this 21st level of the Martial Arts Tower is no longer a bronze man but Jiuxuan Immortal Venerable, and the martial arts of the Nine Tribulations Ancient Emperor.

The Nine Profound Immortal Technique, created by Jiuxuan Immortal Venerable during the Nine Tribulations Ancient Emperor era, was already sufficient to obliterate the Heavenly Human Realm even when incomplete.

This means now, Chu Fengmian confronts the infamous Nine Profound Immortal Technique.

"Come."

Chu Fengmian looked at Jiuxuan Immortal Venerable, with a bit of a smile on his lips.

Having arrived at this 21st level, it was worth it; today, he will experience the renowned Nine Profound Immortal Technique.

"Good, has some fighting spirit."

Jiuxuan Immortal Venerable looked at Chu Fengmian with a gaze of some appreciation.

"Little one, if you step into the Imperial Sovereign Realm, passing this trial would be easy, but today, you are just a Prospective Emperor; I’ve seen your Sword Dao, if this is your strongest martial art, then in this battle you will undoubtedly fail."

"The outcome is uncertain until the fight is over!"

Chu Fengmian understood when he heard Jiuxuan Immortal Venerable’s words; the 20th-level martial arts was just the Heavenly Human Realm.

And during Jiuxuan Immortal Venerable’s time as the Nine Tribulations Ancient Emperor, he created the Nine Profound Immortal Technique, which truly slaughtered the Heavenly Human Realm; this martial arts attainment is even more terrifying than the Heavenly Human Realm.

But regardless, Chu Fengmian will give it his all in a fight.

Chu Fengmian has never conceded defeat, not before, and not today.

"Good, little one, let’s see if you have the ability!"

Jiuxuan Immortal Venerable laughed heartily.

"I hope you defeat me!" 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

"As you wish!"

Chu Fengmian laughed loudly, made his move; the sword intent bursting forth from his body, transforming into Sword Dao.

Thousands of sword techniques instantly launched, interweaving, turning into a massive Golden Sword, hovering over Jiuxuan Immortal Venerable’s head.

This move, similar to the one just now, yet more profound than before; in the battle of the 20th level with the bronze man, Chu Fengmian also comprehended new sword techniques.
