"Guardian!"

Lin Mo stopped, raised his head, and looked at the gigantic blood shadow that appeared before him, a deep shock in his heart.

Normally, only when one reached a top-tier inheritance ground would such a blood-shadow Guardian appear.

Could it be that this place was the top-tier inheritance land of Asura Tower No. 1? "It's probably been ninety thousand years now. The last World General who came to challenge Asura Tower No. 1 was ninety thousand years ago. I fell into slumber for another ninety thousand years, and finally someone dares to challenge Asura Tower No. 1!" The blood shadow spoke slowly, its voice vast and ancient,

carrying a sense of endless loneliness.

"Cultivator, are you here to challenge the inheritance of Asura Tower No. 1?"

The blood shadow lowered its head slightly, overlooking the tiny Lin Mo, and asked.

"We start the challenge directly? There's no process?" Lin Mo frowned and asked. One had to know, in other Asura Towers, seeking a top-tier inheritance required a great deal of effort—constantly teleporting between Secret Realms, fighting Asura World Generals for Treasure; one could say it was like cutting down generals and breaking through gate after gate, enduring countless dangers and hardships before they

could finally find a top-tier inheritance. He hadn't expected that in Asura Tower No. 1, he could encounter a top-tier inheritance right after entering. "The inheritance of Asura Tower No. 1 is different from that of the other Asura Towers. Those who dare challenge Asura Tower No. 1 either have absolute confidence in their own strength, or they are fearless out of ignorance, hmm!" The blood shadow watched him, pondered for a moment, and said, "It seems you

belong to the latter."

Hearing the other party's words, the muscles at the corner of Lin Mo's mouth twitched violently. After all, he was now a Fifth Transition Shura, yet in the other's eyes he actually belonged to the level of "fearless out of ignorance."

Wasn't this looking down on him a bit too much!

"What must I do to obtain the top-tier inheritance within Asura Tower No. 1?" Lin Mo lifted his head, his face solemn, a firm and blazing light flowing in his eyes.

Being so despised only ignited that unyielding resolve within him.

"Good, your Courage is commendable. You have a total of three chances. As long as you successfully defeat your opponent, the top-tier inheritance of Inheritance No. 1 will belong to you." The blood shadow said.

"Defeat my opponent?" Lin Mo frowned.

"Yes, defeat the opponent I arrange for you and it will count as clearing the trial. I'll remind you, your opponent's strength is equivalent to a Nine-Turned Asura." The blood shadow said.

Nine-Turned Asura! The corner of Lin Mo's mouth twitched again. No wonder the top-tier inheritance of Asura Tower No. 1 was so hard to obtain. For several centuries, countless Lin Yue-level Talent and powerful Asura World Generals had come to the Asura Battlefield, yet in the end not a single one could obtain the inheritance of Asura Tower No. 1.

One had to know that the further the Asura Body advanced, the harder it became. Each level's gap was a geometric multiple. What kind of level was a Nine-Turned Asura? It was equivalent to the power of several hundred eighth-transition Asuras. Pushing that down step by step, his Fifth Transition Shura strength, before

such an opponent, was almost pathetically weak, like trash. No wonder the blood shadow had judged him to be "fearless out of ignorance."

"By the way, I must also warn you—do you know why no one tries to challenge the inheritance of Asura Tower No. 1?" The blood shadow said.

Lin Mo repeatedly shook his head. One had to know that some geniuses, powerful Asura World Generals, had extremely arrogant hearts. Even if they knew the difficulty of Asura Tower No. 1 was immense and filled with peril, the fact that no one dared attempt it was far too strange.

"Because once you use up your three chances and fail the challenge, I will reclaim your Asura Body. You will never again be able to become an Asura Body, nor will you be able to obtain the top-tier inheritance of any other Asura Tower." The blood shadow said coldly. "Do you still wish to continue the challenge?"

Three chances!

Once the challenge failed, the Asura Body would be reclaimed, and he would never be able to obtain an Asura Tower inheritance for the rest of his life!

Lin Mo was stunned at first, then lowered his head, his brows furrowing even tighter, as though hesitating.

No wonder, no wonder no one challenged Asura Tower No. 1. Once they failed, all their previous efforts would be for nothing, and they might even lose the chance to obtain an Asura inheritance for the rest of their lives.

With such a heavy price, even those proud geniuses and freaks would not dare casually attempt the challenge of Asura Tower No. 1. To challenge the dignity of Asura Tower No. 1, one had to be prepared to pay a corresponding price.

"Cultivator, your strength is too weak. You can wait another thousand years before returning. By then, perhaps you'll still have a chance." The blood shadow said.

At this moment, Lin Mo suddenly raised his head. In his deep black pupils, an extremely firm light flickered. The corner of his mouth tugged slightly as he said calmly, "I want to continue the challenge!" "Very well, your Courage pleases me greatly, but reality will show you just how cruel the consequences of challenging Asura Tower No. 1 are!" The towering blood shadow said coldly. Then it waved its palm, and the surrounding Blood Fog churned. Strands of blood-colored light appeared in the sky,

the lights interweaving into a great Array suspended in midair.

"Step into the Array, and the challenge will begin!" The blood shadow said.

Lin Mo took a deep breath. Gazing at the blood-colored light Array suspended in the air, he drew the Xuanyuan Sword and swept into the Array's center.

Swoosh!

At the same time, within the Array, a blood shadow identical in appearance to Lin Mo emerged, also holding a treasure sword, its shape exactly the same as the Xuanyuan Sword.

Lin Mo was slightly taken aback.

Aside from looking exactly like Lin Mo, the blood shadow's bearing and aura were completely different. Its entire body emanated a bloodthirsty, icy aura, and its eyes held no emotion whatsoever.

"Sky Splitting!"

Lin Mo gripped the Xuanyuan Sword's hilt. Without the slightest hesitation, he activated the Asura Body and drove his True Yuan. An incomparably sharp sword light burst from the sword's edge, carrying a heaven-rending, earth-splitting might.

After unleashing Sky Splitting, Lin Mo immediately split his focus to control the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo Sword, forming a set of Sword Array that directly slashed toward the blood shadow before him.

"Melancholy Mist Rain Sword!"

"Battlefield Autumn Inspection!"

Lin Mo gave the blood shadow before him no chance to react, practically pouring out all of his signature Sword Skills at once. Stirring the True Yuan of the heavens and earth in all directions, the Blood Fog surged and boiled, his power peerless as all of it swept toward that blood shadow.

This blood shadow was at the Nine-Turned Asura Realm; naturally, Lin Mo did not dare show the slightest Contempt. Yet after Lin Mo unleashed several of his signature Sword Skills in succession, the blood shadow did not move at all, as though it felt no fear. Suddenly, Lin Mo's pupils shrank sharply. He only felt a chill on his neck. By the time he "came to" again, he discovered

that he had already appeared outside the Array.

There wasn't a single wound on his body!

Yet that feeling of death descending just now—he was sure that hadn't been an illusion; it had been utterly real!

Lin Mo fixed his gaze back into the Array. The blood shadow that looked exactly like him had vanished. The enormous blood shadow in the sky reappeared above the Array, overlooking him, its voice vast.

"The Sword Skills you used just now are somewhat interesting, but unfortunately, if you wish to challenge a Nine-Turned Asura, you are still far from enough!"

"You still have two chances left. If you fail both, I will strip you of your Asura Body, and you will never again obtain any Asura inheritance."

Hearing those words, Lin Mo's Sword Eyebrow knit tightly as he remained silent. "Impossible, impossible. He drew only one sword—just one sword and he 'killed' me?" Lin Mo clenched his teeth, unable to believe that everything just now had been real.
