Chapter 278: Chapter 173: 9 Sword Scars! White Emperor Illusion! Praise from Emperor Bai!_3

Lu Sheng felt a deep sense of trepidation. After all, after breaking through to the fifth tier, his divine soul had already merged with his body. Lu Sheng had even cultivated the Five Elements Chaos Technique to perfection.

His divine soul was far stronger than that of typical fifth-tier experts. Not to mention the Five Elements Return to Ruins Technique that Lu Sheng had created, which also used the Five Elements Chaos Technique as its foundation.

Under such circumstances, even some sixth-tier Martial Artists couldn’t necessarily compare to Lu Sheng in terms of divine soul strength.

Yet... such a powerful divine soul was trembling just from a mere glance from the other party.

"I know you’re very strong, but to make me bow my head..."

Lu Sheng’s eyes lowered gently, then he suddenly lifted his head, locking gazes with the white-robed figure before him.

"Absolutely impossible!!"

Lu Sheng’s heart roared, forcing himself to look directly into the eyes of the person before him.

In an instant, Lu Sheng faintly felt a loud rumbling explode in his mind, accompanied by waves of stabbing pain that permeated his head.

Time passed bit by bit.

In the blink of an eye, five minutes went by. During these five minutes, Lu Sheng felt each second was as long as a year. Cold sweat had started to form on his forehead.

Under the twelve hundred and eighty times gravity outside, and with the oppressive pressure brought by the white-robed figure in his mind, Lu Sheng was continuously under tremendous strain.

This level of pressure was enough to easily crush most so-called prodigies!

Yet there was a stubborn glint in Lu Sheng’s eyes as he stared ahead, unwilling to bow his head.

It was unknown how much time had passed when Lu Sheng saw a slight smile curl up on the white-robed figure’s lips.

He... smiled!

And it was this very smile that appeared at that moment.

On the Sword Inquiry Stone, a new sword mark slowly emerged.

The ninth sword mark!!

As the ninth sword mark appeared, the Sword Inquiry Stone instantly emitted a brilliant radiance, waves of pure white light spreading out, sweeping across the entire Wenjian Mountain.

The oppressive feeling between heaven and earth vanished in an instant. Lu Sheng, enveloped in the white radiance, felt as though he was lying in a warm bathtub, the soothing water massaging every inch of his muscles.

This comfortable feeling made Lu Sheng involuntarily let out a moan.

"The ninth sword mark!! This... How is this possible!!"

At the moment when the ninth sword mark appeared on the Sword Inquiry Stone, all the students of the Star River Factions were completely shaken.

Even Zhang Chu and the senior brother revealed expressions of shock.

"Teacher..."

The senior brother looked at Zhang Chu, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Zhang Chu was astonished, understanding the senior brother’s gaze.

Because...

Since the founding of the Star River Factions and the installation of the Sword Inquiry Stone by Emperor Bai, no one at Star River University had ever made the Sword Inquiry Stone display the ninth sword mark!

Even the most extraordinary genius in the history of the Star River Factions had only managed to make the Sword Inquiry Stone display the eighth sword mark and had held on for half an hour.

But now...

The nine sharp sword marks on the Sword Inquiry Stone were clearly inscribed in everyone’s sight.

"Nine... nine sword marks..."

"Doesn’t this break the historical record of the Star River Factions?"

"Wasn’t it said that the ninth sword mark was nonexistent? Ever since the Sword Inquiry Stone was placed here, no one has been able to make it display nine sword marks!"

The students of the Star River Factions had expressions of major change, staring intensely at the Sword Inquiry Stone and Lu Sheng beside it.

At this moment, a white figure silently appeared within the white radiance.

As soon as this figure emerged, Zhang Chu stepped out and respectfully bowed to the white figure.

"Seventeenth instructor of the Star River Factions, Zhang Chu, pays respects to Emperor Bai!"

As Zhang Chu’s voice fell, everyone’s hearts churned with waves of shock.

"What? It’s Emperor Bai? There has always been talk of Emperor Bai’s remnant shadow embedded within the Sword Inquiry Stone, but I thought it was just a legend. I didn’t expect it to be real!"

"Hiss! Lu Sheng even summoned Emperor Bai’s shadow within the Sword Inquiry Stone. Such talent..."

Countless students of the Star River Factions were shaken to their core at this moment.

They didn’t have time to think too much and promptly bowed respectfully to Emperor Bai’s shadow.

"We pay our respects to Emperor Bai!"

The students of the Star River Factions looked at Emperor Bai with eyes full of respect and fanaticism.

As students of the Star River Factions, they naturally held extraordinary passion for Emperor Bai, the founder of their faction.

Emperor Bai’s shadow stood quietly on the mountain peak, his lips curled in a smile, giving off a refreshing feeling like a breeze.

Emperor Bai’s gaze fell on Lu Sheng. At this moment, Lu Sheng also slowly opened his eyes, and the two locked gazes.

"So... the figure in my mind was Emperor Bai?"

Lu Sheng was somewhat dumbfounded in his heart.

This encounter of their gazes, however, did not bring Lu Sheng any pressure, it was just a simple meeting of eyes.

Emperor Bai smiled slightly at Lu Sheng and said, "Young one, not bad!"

Emperor Bai’s voice echoed throughout the entire planet, causing the Star River Factions’ students’ faces to again show deep shock.

Emperor Bai... actually praised Lu Sheng?

Before everyone could recover, Emperor Bai’s shadow on the mountain peak had already slowly dissipated.
