Qin Feng faced off against Schroeder, whose speed and body-moving techniques made him difficult to pin down. Despite Schroeder's evasiveness, Qin Feng's Sword Dao and rapidly improving body method began to suppress him. After Schroeder was forced into a dangerous area and boosted by energy, he and Qin Feng engaged in a battle to the death. Qin Feng took a powerful blow but his physique endured, and after a final desperate lunge from Schroeder, he was struck by lightning and killed, leaving Qin Feng to reflect on his own resilience.

Xu Yuan's fourth level of supreme immortal body signifies an impenetrable domain where nothing can harm him.

Reaching the fifth level of the supreme immortal body grants absolute dominance within the Zhenyuan realm.

Currently, Qin Feng stands at the late stage of the fourth layer of this immortal body, nearing the fifth. Such formidable physical defense should make him impervious to conventional attacks from someone at the fourth layer of Yuan. However, Qin Feng intentionally avoids showcasing his full capabilities, hesitant to reveal the seven-colored radiance emanating from the immortal body.

"Phone"

Following Schroeder's demise, potent torrents of lightning, fiery orbs, and chilling ice shards descended upon the area, originating from attackers at True Essence Level Four all the way down to True Essence First-level. Qin Feng, however, remained unfazed by this barrage.

He proceeded with ease towards the end of the chain bridge. In response, the destructive power intensified, escalating to the second level of True Elements. Yet, it was still disregarded by Qin Feng.

"What transpired?"

"Why did the attacking power diminish so drastically?"

Sima Mo, Zhai Zun, and the others directed their questions, laced with dissatisfaction, towards the old man clad in white.

They had previously assumed that despite Qin Feng's victory over Xue Ding'e, he would ultimately fall victim to the most potent attack. To their astonishment, the lethal force from above proved remarkably weak. Even those who purportedly cleared the third level test only faced power equivalent to the second level of True Essence, a reality they found hard to accept.

"The malevolent power unleashed on the suspension bridge originates from the supreme artificial entity," the old man in white explained placidly. "In days past, Xue Ding'e was its instrument of great consequence. Now that Schroeder is no more, we can no longer rely on him."

"This defies all logic!"

"This brat has only cultivated to Xu Yuan's Level 9?" How can this be possible!"

"Xu Yuan Level 9 is capable of defeating Schroeder at Zhenyuan Level Four and can even withstand the lethal force of Zhenyuan Level 6? Is such a monstrous prodigy truly among us?"

"He can even fly through the air!"

Sima Mo, Zhai Zunzhe, Gu Yuyan, and the others swiftly pieced it together, their incredulity mounting.

Such an individual, belonging to the Heavenly Sect, was unheard of. Neither the Shura Sect nor the Fu Sect, nor even the five major powers like the Tuoba Clan and the Ancient Dan Tai Clan, had any records of such a person. They had never encountered or heard of anyone like him.

Had they not witnessed it firsthand, belief would be impossible.

"Jian Yi is merely Xu Yuan's Level 9!" Lan Yueliang exclaimed, his gaze fixed in astonishment as Qin Feng traversed the chain bridge.

It was unthinkable. If such a talent for overcoming vastly superior opponents were widely known, it would instill widespread fear.

"Broken sword," Qin Feng murmured to himself as he reached the conclusion of the chain bridge, a sense of profound satisfaction washing over him.

He had progressed step by step.

Initially, he seemed ordinary. Despite possessing decent talent, it was merely adequate within the Five Elements and the Sword Pavilion. Such aptitude was common, found in both the Fu Sect and the Shura Sect. Even Xing Hao, who had recently perished, far surpassed him in innate talent. Not to mention the countless heavenly prodigies from the Five Great Forces, such as the Tuoba Clan and the Ancient Dan Tai Clan.

However, his encounter with the broken sword changed everything.

That broken sword first guided him in mastering the fundamentals of the Five Sword Spirits. Subsequently, it facilitated his absorption of the Spiritual Spring, the Five Elements Source Stone, and the very essence of the Five Sword Spirits. This bestowed upon him complete swordsmanship mastery and extraordinary talent, transforming him from someone with mere human-like potential into an Anti-Sky Demon possessing the talent of all Five Great Sword Spirits, much like a master guiding an invincible demon.

It was because of this broken sword that many individuals, exploring the ancestral relics, such as Noble Consort Liu Ru, Ji Ziya, and Yang Zongqing, managed to absorb the Sword Qi of Water and Wood, thereby passing the tower's trial.

Consequently, his potential burgeoned, and his capacity to challenge and defeat stronger opponents grew exponentially.

This was the fundamental reason for his unparalleled success.

"What?" Sima Mo's gaze snapped towards Zhai Zun. At that very moment, Zhai Zun's eyes were bloodshot, his expression one of utter disbelief as he stared at Qin Feng as if confronting a phantom.

"Sima Mo," Zhai Zun turned his head, addressing him directly. "Don't tell me the ancient Dan Tai lineage did not task you with finding Qin Feng, or that you haven't already deduced his identity."

"Precisely, precisely! Such prodigious talent and capability at such a young age, capable of defeating opponents far beyond his level – there is absolutely no one else in the entire world like him, no one but Qin Feng!" Sima Mo's eyes suddenly gleamed with realization. "Yes, it must be him! The ancient Dan Tai lineage informed us of three key characteristics: a massive, rust-covered broken sword; the individual is a young person under twenty years of age. Due to these two defining traits, he is also known as the 'Broken Sword Youth'. The third characteristic is his formidable combat prowess, his ability to overcome challenges. He possesses no weaknesses in body, spirit, or close-quarters combat. Naturally, his Sword Dao is his most potent aspect. All conditions are met – it is undeniably him!"

"Brother Sima, Brother Zhai, who exactly is Qin Feng?"

The ancient Jade watched Sima Mo and Zhai Zun from the side, completely bewildered.

"What's gotten into this kid?" Gu Yuyan echoed, looking shocked, even on the brink of death.

With the combined power of Sima Mo and Zhai Zun, they shouldn't have paid any mind to this youngster. Yet, upon hearing the name "Qin Feng," their faces contorted as if they had seen a ghost, a mixture of excitement and sheer terror, which was quite comical.

The truth was, the Five Great Forces were desperately on the hunt for Qin Feng. However, they wished to keep this pursuit a secret from the general public. Firstly, Qin Feng had already caused them considerable losses and numerous embarrassments; they couldn't afford to lose him again. Secondly, if too many people became aware of his existence, more individuals might try to hunt him down to seize whatever opportunities he represented, making the final outcome unpredictable.

Consequently, subordinate organizations like the Fu Sect and Shura were tasked with finding Qin Feng. However, Gu Yuyan from the Lei Huotang and Yu from the Ghost Ship remained unaware of this directive.

"So, your real name is Qin Feng, and your background is incredibly significant." Lan Yueliang couldn't help but gaze at Qin Feng, her eyes alight with curiosity. She had no idea what made Qin Feng so special, but the reactions of Sima Mo and Zhai Zun spoke volumes.

"Ah," Qin Feng yawned from the other end of the chain bridge. "You recognized me after all. Doesn't matter. I've always gone by 'Sword One.' I don't particularly like it."

However, a flicker of vigilance crossed Qin Feng's eyes. His identity could not be revealed, lest he be unable to withstand the relentless pursuit of the Five Great Forces.

"Second Brother, who exactly is Qin Feng?" Gu Yuyan pressed anxiously. The reactions of Sima Mo and Zhai Zun were far too unusual.

Sima Mo completely ignored Gu Yuyan, his gaze fixed on the old man in white. "Hahaha, no wonder I regarded him with such awe and admiration. If he is present, who could possibly obtain the Creation Spiritual Body?"

Gu Yuyan and Yu exchanged surprised glances. "What? You mean you aren't guaranteed to obtain the Creation Spiritual Body? We should have given up before even starting the fight!"

It was akin to a duel where one side admitted defeat before the battle even commenced – a severe taboo in combat! Gu Yuyan couldn't comprehend what made the boy called "Qin Feng" so astonishing, causing Sima Mo to react with such fury.

Zhai Zun added, "Indeed. I felt I was far inferior to those 'Heavenly Pepper' powerhouses within the Five Great Forces. They all lost to Qin Feng. What am I in comparison?"

Zhai Zun then turned back to Sima Mo. "This is quite interesting. We might as well fight again. If we perform poorly, we might all perish here. It's hardly worth it."

Sima Mo responded with a wry smile, "Hardly worth it."

"Sword Wind Qin?" Lan Yueliang looked at Qin Feng with dawning horror. He appeared the same as ever, yet Lan Yueliang suddenly sensed an unfathomable depth to Qin Feng, as if she could not see through him at all.

The pronouncements made by Sima Mo and Zhai Zun left Lan Yue, Gu Yuyan, and Yu even more astonished, signaling Qin Feng's identity as a figure from a glorious, albeit hidden, past.

"Very well, we now proceed to the fourth round," the old man in white declared, a hint of amusement in his voice as he swept his gaze over the remaining four individuals: Sima Mo, Zhai Zun, Gu Yuyan, and Yu.

"You!" The old man in white pointed directly at Sima Mo.

Sima Mo's expression shifted slightly; it was finally his turn. But who would be his opponent? Sima Mo glanced at Zhai Zun nearby, who was the most likely candidate. Of course, Gu Yuyan possessed cultivation levels comparable to his own, and Yu was also a possibility.
