At the most important moment, hymns sounded.
The hymn not only inspires the warriors' courage, but also makes them realize that they are fulfilling their sacred duties, not fighting for survival.
The change in thinking directly gave many trial warriors strong faith.
The souls of many warriors resonated with the hymn, causing the souls of the trial warriors to undergo a transformation.
Ultimately, the Templar's power comes from the soul.
With a strong soul, physical fatigue and weakness are nothing. The pure sacred source of power stimulated by the rune seeds has restored the combat power of all trial warriors to the peak. Many trial warriors have even increased their source of power levels.
For one person, this change would not be very useful, but for two thousand trial warriors to transform at the same time, this change would be extremely important.
The Holy Light Demon-Slaying Formation becomes even more powerful when activated by many trial warriors.
Moreover, after several hours of desperate fighting, each trial warrior had rich experience in fighting evil spirits.
Faced with the frenzied counterattack of the evil spirits, the Templars defended more firmly.
Even so, there are too many evil spirits. What is even more terrifying is that the evil spirits that are killed will become the energy of other evil spirits.
The Templars were in high spirits, and they killed the demons one after another during the battle, gaining the upper hand on the battlefield.
But as the number of evil spirits decreased, their fighting power became stronger and stronger, and the battle became more and more difficult.
When there were only a few hundred evil spirits left, their bodies became extremely strong. The Xuanyuan Sword slashed at them with all its might, but it couldn't even break their skin.
The morale of the trial warriors was high, but they were ultimately no match for such a powerful evil spirit.
A trial warrior failed to withstand the attack of the evil spirit, and the Xuanyuan sword he was using broke on the spot.
Several other evil spirits rushed forward, and their huge ghost claws worked together to tear the trial warrior apart.
This created a gap, and dozens of evil spirits rushed in. Seeing that the entire formation was about to collapse from here, it was Huang Yingyue's turn to control the Thick Earth Sword.
Under the stimulation of the magic seal, the khaki sword wheel turned into a huge light wheel with a diameter of several meters.
The ochre-colored light wheel spun rapidly, and dozens of evil spirits were cut in half.
The evil spirit's black blood splattered everywhere. If a trial warrior was stained with black blood, a hole would be corroded in his holy armor immediately.
Every evil ghost of this level has the strength to build a foundation.
Fortunately, the demons have little wisdom, only instincts. Their fighting skills are crude, and their spellcasting relies entirely on talent.
In terms of combat skills, the evil spirits are actually on the same level as wild beasts.
When encountering a foundation-building master like Huang Yingyue, dozens of evil spirits can be killed with one strike.
However, after Huang Yingyue used the Thick Earth Sword Wheel to attack, her face turned pale and the light in her eyes dimmed.
This attack was almost fully exerted, as she was located in the center of the formation, surrounded by heavy protection.
Otherwise, she would have been unable to resist any evil spirit that pounced on her just now.
The khaki sword wheel also had a dim glow, and many black spots appeared on it. This meant that the sword wheel had been contaminated by the evil and filthy spirit power of the evil ghost, and its power had been greatly reduced.
In a short period of time, Huang Yingyue would find it difficult to use a seal of this power again.
The shocking blow from the thick earth sword wheel also dampened the spirits of the evil spirits. The evil spirits' crazy offensive temporarily stopped for a while.
After the black blood of the slain evil spirits was drained, their bodies gradually decomposed and collapsed. Finally, a few white beads were left on the ground.
These beads are only the size of peanuts, but they contain a very rich and pure yin aura.
Although Gao Xuan was far away, he recognized it at a glance. This was the Moon Spirit Pearl that Yuan Youyuan wanted!
It turns out that only by killing evil spirits of this level can one have a chance to condense the Moon Spirit Pearl.
The extremely filthy soul of the evil ghost was transformed into the Moon Spirit Pearl, which became extremely pure.
Gao Xuan immediately realized the preciousness of the Moon Spirit Pearl. This thing is similar to the Divine Crystal, but it does not have the strong divine aura of the Divine Crystal. It is equivalent to a low-end version of the Divine Crystal.
The key is that there is no breath of gods, and it can be directly absorbed by the soul. Especially for cultivators who cultivate pure yin power, it is of great benefit.
It is very useful for refining pure Yin instruments. It can also be used to make pills. By adjusting the formula, the Moon Spirit Pearl can exert a greater effect.
When Gao Xuan thought of this, his Taiyin Sword was a pure Yin sword.
It's a bit exaggerated to say it's pure Yin, after all, the Taiyin Sword is of very low grade. But the Taiyin Rune Seed is indeed compatible with the Moon Spirit Pearl.
There is also good news. After the evil ghost is transformed into the Moon Spirit Pearl, its power will not be absorbed by other evil ghosts.
In other words, no matter how strong the evil spirits are, they are only at this level and will not evolve any further.
Gao Xuan felt that this restriction was normal. If an evil ghost evolved to the golden elixir level, all those who took the trial would die.
Although the temple had many problems, it was impossible to let the trial warriors come in to die. After all, most of the people here were outstanding children of aristocratic families.
Gao Xuan suddenly realized that this was actually a good opportunity, although it was a bit cruel. However, if the Moon Spirit Pearl could nourish the Taiyin Sword, it would be a great thing.
The reason why many invigilators dare not use magical weapons such as flying swords is because they are afraid that the magical weapons will be contaminated by evil spirits.
If many foundation-building masters can use their magic weapons, the remaining six or seven hundred evil spirits will actually be nothing.
With Huang Yingyue taking the lead, others felt embarrassed to just watch and watch.
All of a sudden, all kinds of flying swords and magical weapons were launched.
Flames filled the sky, frost covered the ground, lightning flashed in all directions, and all kinds of powerful source forces instantly burst into various strange phenomena, making the scene extremely lively.
In fact, the battle immediately entered a white-hot stage. Every time the powerful evil spirits charged, many trial warriors were killed. The battlefield was full of flying flesh and blood.
Fortunately, everyone sang hymns together, which inspired the trial warriors to have a sense of sacred responsibility. Facing the bloody battlefield, although many trial warriors suffered heavy casualties, they were still able to form a battle and not collapse.
The tenacity and perseverance of many trial warriors allowed the Holy Light Demon Slaying Formation to be maintained. It was also because of this that many trial warriors were able to barely resist the fierce attacks of the evil spirits.
The many foundation-building masters were indeed powerful. With a round of attacks with magic weapons and flying swords, they destroyed at least half of the evil spirits.
It's just that most of the flying swords and magic tools have been polluted by evil spirits. There are a few magic flying swords that are not afraid of the evil spirits' filthy soul pollution, and they can control the magic tools to attack with all their strength, and many foundation-building cultivators don't have much strength to fight anymore.
The remaining evil spirits were not afraid, but attacked even more frantically.
As the number of casualties increased, the formation continued to shrink, and Gao Xuan, who was standing in the outermost circle, had to face more than a dozen evil spirits.
While many foundation-building cultivators were activating their magical flying swords, Gao Xuan also activated the Taiyin Sword.
The silver sword light flowed, and instantly pierced through the heads of seven evil spirits.
An arc of silver light flashed, and the heads of the seven evil ghosts exploded at the same time. The bodies of the seven evil ghosts collapsed into pieces of flying ash.
The silver Taiyin Sword was contaminated by the evil spirit's filthy soul and turned into ink black.
Moreover, the blade was covered with layers of turbid black cracks, and it looked like it had been hidden in mud for years. Not only was it filthy, it could also break into pieces at any time.
The grade of the Taiyin Sword was too low. Although it was completely refined by Gao Xuan, the sword was corroded by the evil spirit's aura and almost shattered on the spot. The Taiyin rune seed at the core of the sword was wrapped in the evil spirit's aura, and the spiritual light on the seed rune gradually dimmed and was about to collapse.
Gao Xuan had anticipated this, and he took the risk just to give it a try.
According to the experience of many foundation-building masters in killing evil spirits, on average one Moon Spirit Pearl can be obtained for every five evil spirits.
Of course, this is just an average probability. For an individual, perhaps even if he kills more than ten evil spirits, he still cannot get a Moon Spirit Pearl.
At this critical juncture, many foundation-building masters had no energy to care about the Moon Spirit Pearl.
Gao Xuan observed for a while and discovered a simple rule: the evil spirits with stronger and purer spiritual power have a higher probability of condensing the Moon Spirit Pearl.
For others, they can only fight desperately at this time, so how can they have the energy to observe the state of the evil ghost's spirit. Even if they have the energy, it is difficult to see through the evil ghost's spirit.
Gao Xuan's soul is as clear as a mirror, and can reflect all living beings and things at the soul level.
Although the evil ghost's soul is twisted and filthy, Gao Xuan can easily see through the strengths and weaknesses of the evil ghost's soul.
From the perspective of the soul, the soul of an evil ghost is a ball of black flame. The stronger the soul, the redder it is, and the brighter the light.
Gao Xuan's sword killed seven people, each of them choosing the target specifically.
After the seven evil spirits were killed, their bodies collapsed into pieces of flying ashes. Four Moon Spirit Pearls fell out of the flying ashes.
The probability of the Moon Spirit Pearl condensing was too high. It was also consistent with Gao Xuan's prediction. At this time, no one paid attention to too many details of the Moon Spirit Pearl falling.
The surrounding trial warriors saw Gao Xuan kill seven people with one sword. However, they also noticed that the Taiyin Sword was corroded beyond recognition.
Everyone was a little frustrated as Gao Xuan's flying sword was about to become unusable.
While Gao Xuan could still control the flying sword, he turned the Taiyin Sword and chopped the four Moon Spirit Pearls into pieces.
After the Moon Spirit Pearl shattered, extremely pure and gentle energy was released. Gao Xuan used all his strength to activate the Taiyin Rune Seed and absorbed all of this released pure and gentle energy.
The Taiyin Rune Seed, which was contaminated by the evil spirit's filthy aura, was about to lose its spiritual light. After absorbing the pure energy of the Moon Spirit Pearl, the Taiyin Rune Seed suddenly became more spiritually bright.
The filth attached to the Taiyin Sword was cleared away in an instant, and the silver sword edge emitted a sharp divine light.
Gao Xuan's soul could sense the feedback of that pure power. If he used his soul to absorb this power, the power of his soul would be improved.
However, Gao Xuan would not use this kind of external force to directly improve his soul. This shortcut was not suitable for him.
"It is enough for the Moon Spirit Pearl to nourish the Taiyin Sword."
Gao Xuan was also happy. As long as the Moon Spirit Pearl was useful, the Taiyin Sword could be used continuously.
Many trial warriors were greatly encouraged when they saw the filthy Taiyin Sword shining again.
Gao Xuan once again activated the Taiyin Sword, and the sharp silver sword light flashed across the sky, forming a dazzling silver light net.
The dozens of evil spirits within the range of the optical network seemed to be unconcerned and continued to charge forward to fight. The violent movement caused the bodies of dozens of evil spirits to break into pieces at the same time.
The shattered body of the evil ghost rolled a few times in the air before turning into flying ashes.
These evil ghosts were originally formed by the condensation of evil thoughts and source power, not real flesh and blood. When the core of the soul was destroyed, the body naturally decomposed into ashes.
Dozens of evil spirits left behind seven moon spirit beads.
After this strike, the light of the Taiyin Sword dimmed, and patches of ink appeared on the blade.
Gao Xuan activated the Taiyin Sword to collect the seven Moon Spirit Pearls. The Taiyin Sword shone brightly again, and this time the Taiyin Rune Seeds were much stronger.
Huang Yingyue and other invigilators all noticed the changes in the Taiyin Sword. They were both surprised and delighted.
The Taiyin Sword can actually absorb the Moon Spirit Pearl, which means it is not afraid of being contaminated by evil spirits. However, how many times can Gao Xuan activate the flying sword
Under the shining of the blood moon, the power of the sacred rune seed was greatly limited because the ruins of the evil god's kingdom in Night Demon City could not connect to the cyberspace here.
The power of the soul is particularly consumed by the foundation-building masters to control the flying sword here, and the evil spirits can easily pollute the soul.
Gao Xuan is only at the foundation-building stage, how much stronger can he be than them
Under the gazes of many invigilators, the Taiyin Sword shone again. This time, the bright silver sword light had transformed into a long rainbow of light, circling around the Holy Light Demon-Slaying Array.
The nearly perfect ring-shaped silver sword rainbow instantly cut all the evil spirits in the surrounding circle into two.
The bright and dazzling sword rainbow shines with unparalleled sharp light.
The coverage area of this sword was too large, killing at least more than a hundred evil spirits.
Although the evil spirits outside the sword rainbow had no intelligence, they were frightened by the power of the sword rainbow and instinctively stopped.
The trial warriors who were suffocating under the pressure of the evil spirits felt their bodies relax and all breathed a sigh of relief.
The evil spirits' ferocious attack like a raging tide made everyone feel like they were drowning. The oppressive feeling that was so strong and terrifying almost made everyone collapse.
Gao Xuan's sword made everyone breathe a sigh of relief. At the same time, it also gave everyone hope of victory.
Some tragic hymns turned into uniform cheers, and everyone was filled with joy and fighting spirit.
After Gao Xuan launched this sword, the light of the Taiyin Sword dimmed again. He once again controlled the sword to absorb more than a dozen Moon Spirit Pearls, and the Taiyin Sword regained its strong sword light.
Even so, Gao Xuan was somewhat exhausted. In front of so many invigilators, Gao Xuan didn't want to show off too much.
At this point, all we have to do is be careful.
"You step back and rest first, and leave the rest to us."
Several trial warriors standing behind Gao Xuan pulled Gao Xuan to the back. They saw with their own eyes that Gao Xuan displayed his divine power and killed evil spirits one after another. He also stood up at the most dangerous moment and sang hymns to inspire everyone's fighting spirit.
At this moment, Gao Xuan has become the idol of all the trial warriors.
Seeing that Gao Xuan was exhausted, everyone was afraid that he might make a mistake, so they quickly moved him to the inner circle.
Huang Yingyue and other invigilators saw even more. Huang Yingyue said to Yuan Ping: "This man's spiritual power is really strong and can withstand the pollution of evil spirits."
Yuan Ping thought for a moment and said, "It's mainly because his flying sword is compatible with the Moon Spirit Pearl. The Moon Spirit Pearl can nourish his flying sword and soul, so he can control the flying sword continuously. It's also his good luck."
She sighed and said, "What a pity! If he had been given time to slowly refine these Moon Spirit Pearls, his flying sword could have been upgraded to the seventh rank. But now it's a bit of a waste."
Huang Yingyue said in a deep voice: "No matter what his background is, he has made a great contribution this time. I will not let him suffer any loss..."
