NOVPUBAs the two of them entered the sixth level, the thunderous sound of drums immediately arose beside their ears.
Their figures appeared on a vast expanse of desolate land.
In this world, countless enemies attacked the two of them.
These enemies included members of the human race, Monster Race, Giants, as well as countless other clans like the Spirit Clan and Stone Race.
Each of them was extraordinarily formidable and unrivaled.
Xu Zimei, wielding Tyrant Shadow, and Mo Tianming, with radiant cyan light in both hands, plunged into the crowd.
In an instant, the crowd, like a torrent, was split open with a crack.
The assessments from the sixth to the ninth levels were almost the same.
They all took place in this vast wasteland, but the enemies they met here grew ever stronger and more numerous as they proceeded.
Moreover, the gravity descending in the space also multiplied several dozen times.
Occasionally, Heavenly Thunder would fall from the sky, and Blazing Flame would roll down.
Any slight mistake could potentially reduce them to shattered bones and crushed bodies.
Xu Zimei and his companion fought a bloody battle until the ninth level, where at that moment, they seemed like Gods of Slaughter, surrounded by carnage.
Both were drenched in blood, appearing like blood-soaked figures.
Mo Tianming, catching his breath, glanced at Xu Zimei.
Then, together, the two stepped into the tenth level.
At this moment, the outside world was almost shaking with discussions throughout the entire Heavenly Dao City.
Everyone stood beneath the Tower of Heavenly Dao watching.
To know that previously, it was sensational for just one person to clear the tenth level.
And this time, two people were entering the tenth level together, which meant that it was possible for two of them to emerge simultaneously.
"Do you think they have a good chance?" someone excitedly asked.
"Being able to enter the tenth level already shows outstanding talent, but we just don’t know what the assessment for the tenth level is," replied someone nearby, slightly shaking their head.
Among the many teachers of assessments at Heavenly Dao Academy, an elderly man let out a long sigh of relief.
He smiled and said, "This era seems to be much more exciting."
...
On the tenth level of the Tower of Heavenly Dao,
it was a world enveloped in starlight.
When Xu Zimei and his companion arrived, they were slightly shocked by the scene before them.
Countless starlights enveloped the entire night sky, the starlight almost tangible, while a Milky Way fell from east to west.
Stars twinkling, the Milky Way cascading.
In the distance of this starry space, a silhouette stood there.
This figure seemed to merge with the universe, as if he himself was the world, he was the starry sky.
He wore a blue robe, strikingly prominent among the starlight.
As Xu Zimei and his companion approached, the silhouette also slowly turned around.
"Star Origin Great Emperor," Mo Tianming exclaimed the moment he saw the man turn around.
Xu Zimei looked up to see the man with long hair, casually draped over his back.
With a high nose bridge, sword-like eyebrows, and starry eyes, his features bore a hint of Western Region style.
Especially those starry eyes, as if they were truly transformed from the myriad stars above.
His body surged with intense stellar force.
"It seems there are still some who remember me," the man responded with a smile upon hearing Mo Tianming call out his regal title.
"As you see, I am the examiner of this tenth level."
Star Origin Great Emperor, he too was an ancient emperor.
He was a Great Emperor wholly nurtured by Heavenly Dao Academy.
Legend has it that Star Origin Great Emperor was originally a mere beggar, who by chance passed the assessments of Heavenly Dao Academy.
From there, he began his phenomenal life journey.
He dominated the younger generation of the Heavenly Dao Academy and even the older generations.
Ultimately, he fulfilled his Destiny.
However, Star Origin Great Emperor was also the most low-profile among the emperors.
He didn’t create any forces; instead, he spent a period bearing his Destiny teaching at the Heavenly Dao Academy.
He left all his life’s learning within the academy and ultimately ascended to the Heaven Beyond Heavens.
...
"How does the Great Emperor intend to assess us?" Mo Tianming asked curiously.
"It’s quite simple, just defeat me," the Star Origin Great Emperor said with a smile.
Mo Tianming paused for a moment, realizing that a direct confrontation with the Great Emperor was still slightly beyond their reach.
After all, they were only in the Divine Vein Realm.
"You need not be nervous," the Star Origin Great Emperor said with a smile.
"This phantom here is one left by me before I bore my Destiny.
So in a sense, we are quite similar."
"Who wants to go first?" the Star Origin Great Emperor asked with a smile.
"I’ll go," Mo Tianming glanced at Xu Zimei and then spoke.
He slowly stepped forward, blue Spiritual Energy swirling around him.
The Spiritual Energy transformed into countless Blazing Winds, howling around him.
Suddenly, Mo Tianming’s figure twisted and vanished into the void.
In the next moment, he appeared right in front of the Star Origin Great Emperor.
The Mad Wind tore through the air, attacking the Star Origin Great Emperor.
The Star Origin Great Emperor slightly straightened up, not daring to underestimate his opponent.
He raised his right hand, and the endless Stellar Force spread in his palm.
With a "boom," the figures of the two exploded in the void.
Each retreated three steps, seemingly matched evenly.
"Not bad, come at me again," the Star Origin Great Emperor laughed out loud.
The Stellar Force around him grew more intense.
Milky Way fell all around, significantly increasing his own aura.
The Star Origin Great Emperor threw a punch, the endless starlight blossoming in front of them.
"Kun Roc Nine Steps," Mo Tianming shouted coldly.
The Hurricane around him formed into a dragon twister, picking up dust all around.
A sharp bird call echoed faintly.
Then, numerous phantom images of Mo Tianming formed, surrounding and attacking the Star Origin Great Emperor.
The Stellar Force and the Hurricane exploded in front of them.
They separated once more.
"Let’s decide the winner with one move," the Star Origin Great Emperor said with a smile.
"If we keep probing like this, we might end up fighting the whole day."
"Alright," Mo Tianming nodded.
He stretched out his right hand, forming a blue sphere in the palm of his hand.
This sphere emitted a primitive force.
The blue sphere, embedded in his palm, attacked with overwhelming momentum.
The Star Origin Great Emperor chuckled, raising his right fist.
He reached above his head, and the Stellar Force from the entire sky surged towards him.
"Fight," Mo Tianming yelled fiercely.
Their fists collided.
At that moment, a force of Jing Qi spread from between them, the Space tearing like a thin sheet of paper.
An infinite authority permeated between the two.
At their fists, two massive True Fate Phantom Images emerged behind them.
Behind the Star Origin Great Emperor were the full heavens’ stars, while behind Mo Tianming was the phantom of a Monster.
This monster was blue, but only an outline was visible, its true face unclear.
As the two stood locked in a stalemate, a very mysterious aura burst forth from Mo Tianming.
The Star Origin Great Emperor’s figure flew backward.
