Peerless Empress: One Woman, One Sword, Slaying Through Myriad Realms

Forty-eight puppet figures surrounded Ye Wuxi in layers, and then simultaneously unleashed their cultivation at the peak of the sixth level of the Xuanwu realm, grabbing at Ye Wuxi with their hard arms.

Faced with this terrifying power, Ye Wuxi couldn't help but curse inwardly, "Damn it!"

"Phoenix spreads its wings!"

Soaring through the heavens!

"Phoenix feathers fluttering!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Ye Wuxi unleashed three sword techniques in succession.

The crimson sword light burned in the void like flames, and the innermost puppets that came into contact with the sword light fell down and disappeared into the ground.

But instantly a group of puppets stepped forward, launching a continuous barrage of attacks, while Ye Wuxi could only keep waving his longsword...

The Phoenix Dance Nine Heavens Sword technique is quite energy-consuming. For the first three levels, she only used her previous mid-grade Xuanji martial art, the Azure Sky Sword Technique. It wasn't until the fourth level that she began to use the Phoenix Dance Nine Heavens Sword, from the first move to the third move...

With hundreds of uses, she became increasingly proficient in these three sword techniques, and also gained many new insights.

Since she last touched upon sword intent with the help of the White Jade Spirit Fruit, she has finally gained a deeper understanding of the two sword intents, fire sword intent and wind sword intent, until today...

The same sword moves became increasingly fierce, and after being used several more times, all forty-eight puppets finally fell.

Ye Wuxi quickly sat cross-legged on the spot and began circulating her internal energy to recover her true qi. The next wave of ninety-six puppets would arrive soon, and she didn't have much time left...

Half an hour later, Ye Wuxi sensed a familiar dangerous aura and immediately jumped up.

Sure enough, ninety-six puppets emerged from the ground and surrounded Ye Wuxi in layers.

Ye Wuxi's eyes gleamed with excitement. "Good timing!"

She had just felt her sword intent break through, and now, facing these puppets, she was no longer thinking about how to defeat them quickly; instead, she was thinking about practicing her sword skills...

There's no reward for breaking records, but she genuinely spent two hundred contribution points to get in, so she should at least make some progress!

From the outside, Ye Wuxi's time spent on the sixth floor appeared to be significantly longer.

"They should be out soon, right?"

"Staying here any longer would really be defying the heavens..."

"She's only at the third level of the Xuanwu realm, and she's already jumped two levels. If she can also pass the sixth level, then what's the point of living...?"

The news that someone had broken the Fire Cloud record in the Battle Tower also spread, and many more disciples came to watch the spectacle from outside the tower.

Those arrogant inner disciples who were previously so arrogant fell silent after seeing the record on the stone wall. That was Huo Yun, who possessed the Fire Spirit Body. No one had been able to do that before Ye Wuxi.

The elder guarding the tower also received a reply from Sect Master Han Yunfei: The sect is aware of this! There is no need to interfere; let it grow freely!

"So this girl has already been noticed by the sect leader..." the tower-guarding elder thought to himself, then stopped worrying and closed his eyes again.

Inside the tower, Ye Wuxi continued to hone his swordsmanship until he could steadily master the two sword intents before unleashing a sword strike, "Soaring Through the Nine Heavens".

After the last batch of puppets sank into the ground, Ye Wuxi recovered his true energy slightly before stepping onto the seventh floor.

As the seventh floor of the tower lit up, the people outside erupted in chaos...

"They actually made it past the sixth level!"

"This combat power is too strong!"

"No wonder he won first place among the new disciples, he really has the ability..."

Zhang Haonan, who had been observing from the sidelines, was somewhat numb. As the top disciple of the outer sect, he was very confident in his strength, until today...

Suddenly, several more figures carrying long swords appeared from behind, each exuding a formidable aura.

Upon seeing their arrival, the crowd parted to make way for them, and the group walked up to Zhang Haonan without any hesitation.

"All but two of the ten outer sect disciples have arrived!"

"This year's outer sect competition looks like it's going to be quite a show..."

Upon seeing the newcomer, Zhang Haonan remarked calmly, "The news travels very fast!"

"How could it not be fast? Now not only the outer disciples, but also the inner disciples and core disciples probably know..." one of the youths said helplessly.

This young man was none other than Yu Feng, who ranked fourth among the outer disciples.

Another boy, whose skin was somewhat darker, said, "Hey Yu Feng, are you scared? If you are, then give up your fourth place right now."

Although he had fallen behind Yu Feng by one place in the previous competition, after his recent training, he was confident that he would not lose to Yu Feng again.

As for Ye Wuxi, he is only at the third level of Xuanwu. Although his combat strength is not bad, the gap in cultivation level is too big. He does not think that Ye Wuxi will pose a threat to him in the next competition.

Yu Feng sneered, "Cao Yu, don't be too happy yet. He's already on the seventh floor. What floor were you on before?"

Cao Yu said confidently, "So what? When I challenged the tower before, my cultivation level wasn't high. If I went now, the seventh floor would be a piece of cake..."

Hearing his words, Zhang Haonan's lips curled into a mocking smile, "Nonsense!"

Cao Yu was taken aback. "Zhang Haonan, what do you mean by this?!"

In the seventh level, Ye Wuxi had just defeated forty-eight puppets and was recuperating for half an hour when ninety-six Xuanwu level seven puppets appeared.

"This is the limit..." Ye Wuxi murmured. Her true energy could no longer keep up, and the time to recover true energy between battles was simply too short.

Even with the Chaos Five Elements Technique, it wouldn't be enough to support her going up to the next level...

"Let's finish this last wave..."

After saying that, Ye Wuxi poured the true energy from all five of his dantian into the Azure Rainbow Sword.

The longsword trembled, but Ye Wuxi's eyes remained perfectly calm. She would show her the power of this high-grade Xuan-rank spiritual sword combined with the Earth-rank sword technique...

"The phoenix cries hidden in the clouds!"

With a soft shout, Ye Wuxi, who was surrounded, seemed to disappear in the eyes of the puppet.

Just as the puppets stopped in their tracks, a magnificent sword aura, like that of a fiery phoenix, suddenly exploded within the puppet formation.

Dozens of puppets didn't have time to react before they fell straight down.

After the puppets disappeared, Ye Wuxi's figure returned to the original spot, her face still somewhat pale.

"This superior-grade spirit sword is indeed extraordinary!" The same sword move, when performed with the Azure Rainbow Sword, is several times stronger than the previous Frost Moon Sword.

Ye Wuxi couldn't help but feel a little excited about the power of this move after using the Shadow Reflection Sword given to him by the Supreme Elder. However, both moves consumed too much true energy, so it was best not to use them simultaneously unless absolutely necessary...

After taking a short break to adjust his breathing, Ye Wuxi shook his head as he looked at the closed gate that appeared in the distance. He did not step inside, but instead left the tower directly.

Upon seeing Ye Wuxi's figure appear, everyone breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed they hadn't made it past the seventh level...
