As the 'Demonic Wings' slowly disappeared, it revealed the scene of a black-robed young man standing behind them while a dagger that was filled with blood was plunged into his waist.

And yet, despite the horrible injury that revealed his destroyed internal organs, the black-robed young man still had that same cold look on his face as he stared at the young woman in front of him.

The moment that she met his gaze, Huo Ru felt a sudden chill in her body, almost as if she had suddenly fallen into the deepest depths of hell!

She instantly tried to open up the distance, but the black-robed young man opened his mouth for the second time today, as he said a simple sentence

''Since you guys have forced me to do this, you have to pay the price as well!''

The moment that Huo Ru opened up the distance between herself and the black-robed young man, her eyes suddenly widened in shock, as she sensed a terrifying aura that suddenly erupted from the young man's body.

It was an aura filled with darkness and cruelty, one that wanted to destroy until it had killed everything in its sight.

At that moment, fear instinctively filled Huo Ru's eyes as she hurriedly stepped backwards, opening up the distance between herself and the black-robed young man.

The black-robed young man however didn't chase after her, while the aura coming from his body continued to rise, as it started to turn even more intense than before.

In Huo Ru's eyes, the black-robed young man was like a beast that had finally woken up.

At that moment, Shun Long's expression instantly turned serious, as he stared at the scene at the center of the arena with a deep look in his eyes.

At the same time, different expressions mixed with doubt, fear, and disbelief, appeared in the faces of the disciples in the audience seats, as they all turned their attention towards the black-robed young man who seemed to be undergoing a transformation.

His previously brown eyes had already turned red, while from his back, a pair of pitch-black wings suddenly sprouted, tearing off a big part of his black robes in the process.

These wings that seemed like the wings of a demon, didn't have any dark red flames burning around them, making it obvious that they were completely unrelated to his 'Demonic Wings' that had already dissipated.

The disciples of the Holy sect weren't any less shocked than the disciples in the audience seats, as they all stared at this transformation with fear rising in their hearts.

Although all of them had knowledge regarding bloodlines, and some of them even had their own bloodlines inherited from their ancestors, the power coming from the black-robed young man definitely belonged to a very terrifying bloodline.

Seeing the changes in the black-robed young man's body, Elder Zhuan turned his head to look at Cao Ling, only to see that the white-robed Dao Emperor's face was also filled with disbelief.

Elder Zhuan took a deep breath as he tried to calm down his agitated emotions, before he asked in a voice that seemed unable to accept the scene in front of him

''Senior, is this really a -''

''Yes!''

Before Elder Zhuan could finish his sentence, Cao Ling interrupted him with a serious look as he confirmed his guess....

At the same time, although Huo Ru could feel a sense of deep fear in her heart after seeing the black-robed young man's transformation, she knew that this was still the fourth test of the sect and she couldn't back down.

Besides, no matter how scary the young man in front of her felt, his cultivation was still at the early rank 4 of the Nascent Soul!

As Huo Ru used this thought to placate her mind and calm herself down, her feet once again blurred as she started to create even more afterimages than before.

600 afterimages once again appeared around the black-robed young man, all of them holding the same peak rank 3 gold grade dagger in their hands!

Without waiting for the black-robed young man to make a move, Huo Ru immediately sprung into action, as she immediately shot towards him while she activated the same Mystic high-grade martial skill as before, causing her dagger to be shrouded by her qi in an instant.

No matter what, the black-robed young man in front of her was already seriously injured right now. If he got hit this martial skill a second time, it was impossible for him to remain standing!

600 afterimages all shot towards him at the same time, but the black-robed young man was still standing in the middle of the arena without a change in his expression.

However, at that moment, just as the 600 daggers around him were about to pierce through his waist, he suddenly turned around and stared at a specific image before stretching out his right hand.

He had found the real Huo Ru!

Huo Ru could feel her heart constrict but her movements didn't stop, as she changed the trajectory of her dagger, aiming it towards the black-robed young man's chest.

At that moment however, something astonishing happened!

Before Huo Ru could pierce his chest, the young man stretched out his left hand as well, before he easily slapped the dagger away from Huo Ru's hand.

Her entire right hand exploded on the spot, but the black-robed young man's actions didn't stop just yet, as his right hand tightly grabbed her neck.

Raising her in the air with one hand, he saw the look of fear and despair appear in her face, causing him to shake his head in response.

Then, with an uncaring look on his face, the black-robed young man stared deep into Huo Ru's eyes before he said in a nonchalant tone

''Forget about it. Even an early rank 6 Nascent Soul stage cultivator wouldn't be my match after I have activated my bloodline, let alone someone like you!''

Without waiting for Huo Ru's response, the black-robed young man slammed her body into the ground below him causing her to lose consciousness.

Then, he turned his head to look at the white-robed Dao Emperor in the sky before asking in a cold tone

''Do I pass the test?''
