Su Yi cut down his opponent as if he were swatting a fly; he wasn’t at all interested.

The guardian on the first step of the Staircase of Trials was always the weakest. It was naturally unworthy of his attention.

Bzzz~

A strange fluctuation of the Grand Dao surged forth.

Su Yi then found himself in the Grand Dao Battle Realm of the second step.

The space around him was just as boundless and hazy as before, with nothing but a single solitary platform amidst the void.

The second guardian was a man with an ancient sword, Daoist robes, and golden silk belt, just like the first guardian.

However, his aura was obviously a bit stronger.

Whoosh!

Without any wasted words, Su Yi stretched out his hand, condensed a sword, and casually swung it.

The guardian had barely drawn his sword when he burst apart.

“Too weak…” Su Yi shook his head.

With his foundations and attainments in the Dao of the Sword, ordinary early-stage Gathering Stars Realm opponents were no different from ants. 

Su Yi then proceeded to break through one trial after another, like an axe through bamboo, looking thoroughly bored.

Every time he faced a new trial, he slew its guardian in a single attack...
