Chapter 953 Fifth trial: Test of Talent! (5)

In the next moment, a vibrant green light enveloped the devilishly handsome youth, before the wound on his chest started to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye... one that would make even the most accomplished alchemists stare in envy and disbelief.

In just 5 breaths of time, the injury that would have proved fatal to almost every early-stage Dao Emperor had already disappeared, as the purple-robed youth's skin closed and mended by itself. Not even a hint of a scar was left behind, as if the purple-robed man had never been injured in the first place. And yet, the hole in his robes was still there, revealing that a powerful attack had indeed struck his chest just a few moments ago.

Staring at the scene in front of him, Shun Long remained still and pondered for a moment, before he muttered in a curious tone

''So the supreme Dao he has comprehended is the 'Dao of Life'?'' Although he voiced it like a question, Shun Long was practically certain about his guess as he looked at the purple-robed youth in the distance.

And indeed, Little Black's voice sounded in his mind a moment later, confirming his guess

''Master is right. The Dao this kid just used is almost certainly the 'Dao of Life'! There are only so many Daos that can restore one's flesh and blood so quickly, but to do so after being struck by the lightning of the heavenly tribulation... I can only think of the 'Dao of Light' and that disgusting, abominable Dao, those chickens in the 'Divine Fire World' use.''

Shun Long nodded in agreement and fell silent for a short while, his gaze still studying the purple-robed youth. As for the 'chickens' Little Black was referring to, he didn't even pay any attention to that part.

At this point, there was almost no doubt in his mind that the purple-robed youth's Dao was the 'Dao of Life'. However, this only complicated things even further. After all, even in the 'Immortal Dimension', cultivators of the 'Dao of Life' were one of the most difficult to kill thanks to their ability to heal their wounds!

It's not that Shun Long wasn't confident in beating the purple-robed man after exchanging more than a hundred strikes with him, but killing a Dao Emperor who could regenerate their wounds infinitely as long as they had enough qi, was nearly impossible. 'Well, it's not like there is no way to do it... but it's not worth it either.' With a faint smile on his face, Shun Long threw out all distracting thoughts and shot forward once more, ready to clash with the purple-robed man again.

Indeed, although killing an early-stage Dao Emperor with the 'Dao of Light' was extremely difficult, Shun Long had a few ways to do it if he really wanted to.

Firstly, he could use his 'Time Siphon' and slowly but surely 'absorb' all of the purple-robed youth's remaining time, until he turned to withered bones and disappeared into dust. Of course, the handsome young man could potentially resist the effects of the 'Time Siphon' to a certain degree thanks to his 'Dao of Life', which would make their battle a battle of attrition in the end. The one with the deepest reserves of qi would then win. Of course, with how pure the qi inside his qi b.a.l.l.s was, Shun Long was confident that he could definitely outlast almost every early rank 1 Dao Emperor in such a situation.

Unfortunately, according to Xing Fei, this trial would only last for one hour so Shun Long didn't have enough time to test this out. And he wasn't planning to win in such a way either.

The second way he could go about it was to directly obliterate the devilish young man's soul. Although the purple-robed youth was a talented Dao Emperor, Shun Long's soul was comparable to an early-stage Sovereign's right now. Even without any soul-attacking martial skills, he could easily snuff out the soul of an early-stage Dao Emperor using his soul sense... as long as he was ready to sacrifice a part of his spiritual strength that was.

However, Shun Long wasn't planning to do that either. After all, soul imprint or not, this purple-robed youth was the first person that was strong enough to allow Shun Long to fight while going all-out. Why would he destroy such a perfect sparring partner?

A moment later, the two figures flashed across the battlefield once more, as the sound of metal clas.h.i.+ng against metal filled the air of the green field.

Soon, half an hour had already pa.s.sed, and yet neither of the two men seemed exhausted. In fact, they fought with even more intensity than before. Shun Long's sword skills were already far beyond the level of any Dao King, and his comprehension of the sword was gradually approaching the peak of the 'sword aura realm' as well, and yet... the purple-robed youth wasn't being pushed back at all. He was matching Shun Long's attacks blow for blow. Although it was clear that his comprehension of the sword hadn't reached the level of 'sword aura' just yet and was still at the peak of the 'sword qi' realm, his superior cultivation allowed him to somewhat bridge the gap between their skills, without forcing him to be on the back foot during their fight.

Finally, time pa.s.sed, and in the blink of an eye, another half an hour had gone by.

As soon as the 1-hour period came to an end, the purple-robed youth finally lowered his sword and looked at his opponent silently.

For a moment, Shun Long thought he saw a gleam of reluctance flas.h.i.+ng in the eyes of the devilishly handsome youth. However, that gleam only lasted for the briefest of moments before his gaze returned back to its original, emotionless look.

Then, the purple-robed youth actually... smiled and cupped his hands, before his body suddenly dispersed, turning into motes of spiritual qi that disappeared into the air.

Eventually, in the spot where the handsome young man stood, two items seemed to have taken its place.

A somewhat familiar, yet at the same time alien bronze token... and a gigantic crimson rock.

The fifth trial had come to an end but the rewards were far more than Shun Long had expected!
