'This is unexpected.' Huo Yuhao solemnly thought to himself.

This black-robed man. He's not a phantom lord.

There is no mistake.

Even though Huo Yuhao doesn't know who the Phantom Emperor is, he's sure this man isn't it. Yes, this black-robed is a being that exceeds Evo's 3rd-tier Omniversal Realm.

Huo Yuhao could only think of one reasonable guess.

This man is either 2nd tier or 1st tier. If it was the former, Huo Yuhao might be able to survive because he had a 1st tier seal on his soul.

If it's the latter chance, Huo Yuhao could only silently pray for a slight possibility to run with the ladies.

At the same time, Huo Yuhao was puzzled. Didn't Evo say none of the higher Omniversal Beings can sense his presence and location?

Huo Yuhao had a 1st tier seal protecting him from them until he was strong enough.

The black-robed man's eyes flashed with something. "You're overthinking this situation. If I wanted to kill you, I'd simply release my presence and bury you in this small world."

"My goal here is simple."

"I'd like to see how stronger you are."

"Think of it as a test, so show everything you had."

"Really?" Huo Yuhao's blue eyes gazed at the black-robed man, meeting with his crimson eyes.

The black-robed man curled his lips, "Who knows?"

'This guy is joking around with my life...' Huo Yuhao couldn't help but laugh in this tense situation.

Huo Yuhao closed his eyes and calmed his nerves. After a while, he pulled a jet-black halberd and ancient copper brush from his Azure Emperor's Vault.

An overbearing aura exploded from Huo Yuhao's body, transcending all living beings in Tiny World. Divine might swept over the area and caused a splash like a massive stone plunging into calm water.

Yet with all these changes, the black-robed man showed no shock nor emotion at Huo Yuhao's little show.

"Yuhao-sama..." Oceana watched Huo Yuhao open his blue eyes, which now had white specks and looked extremely beautiful.

As if he had starry skies in his eyes, that's what Oceana thought.

Huo Yuhao didn't spare Oceana a look, "Stay here. Don't get dragged into this battle."

"I will protect this Sacred Timeline. For myself, you, and them."

Swoosh!

Huo Yuhao kicked the air and rushed toward the black-robed man. His halberd is gleaming with a shadowy aura as the power of Shadow Authority enters the area.

At the same time, thick jet-black ink appeared and turned into a rotating black wheel behind Huo Yuhao. His body bulked slightly with well-defined muscle, covered with faint dragon scales and bluish-white furs.

On Huo Yuhao's back, several illusory wings manifested. They are that of devils, angels, dragons, and many other creatures.

Huo Yuhao clenched his grip on his halberd, 'This is the best I could do with my current state. I can also use Primeval Wave White Tiger's powers and Forest God's mimicry to stimulate Dragon God's prowess, but they are my last bets.'

"Are you done?" asked the black-robed man.

"The test is simple. All you had to do was survive for five minutes..."

"Do everything you can to survive my sword."

"You can cheat if you want. Well, if you could even cheat in the first place."

With that, the black-robed man conjured a sword from nothing. The sword is two meters long and entirely black. The handle, the body, and even the blade are as dark as a night.

He swung the sword casually, sending a shiver down Huo Yuhao's spine.

Just so you know, Huo Yuhao has never felt such a threat in his life. Not even the Cursed God and other Techno Archons could drench him in cold sweats.

Huo Yuhao used future sight through Divine Might. However, all he could see was his death.

Above all else, none of them are preferable enough to increase his odds of winning this test.

That sword slash is abnormal.

It looks slow and powerless but is 'thoroughly' packed with endless sword intent. There is no gap within that sword intent.

However, that's not what makes Huo Yuhao frustrated.

"What a monster..." In Huo Yuhao's vision, the black-robed man's sword slash represented infinite possibility. This concept allowed the sword slash to create infinite destruction, obstructing all future paths.

It would track and pin one down like karma.

Yes, this sword slash transcends the universe!

Huo Yuhao sighed audibly. He could only try his best.

He used the Universal Breathing Technique. His divine circuits activated beyond their limits and reached numbers he usually never used because there were no enemies to push him that far.

"Gathering of Ten Thousand Waves..."

"Concept of Bullet and Caliber."

"Concept of Twist and Turn."

"Boundless Emperor, Limit Breaker, Dice."

"ROLL!" Huo Yuhao exclaimed while swinging his halberd with all those stacks of powers. A massive white dice appeared in the air and rolled into number six, allowing Huo Yuhao's attack to contend with the black-robed man's sword slash.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The thunderclouds vanished instantly, and all left was a sight of starry skies full of cosmic explosions.

Huo Yuhao tore his muscles as his halberd slash clashed with the sword slash. He gritted his teeth and preserved under the bombardment of sword intents.

Far away, the girls looked at Huo Yuhao worriedly.

"Master is facing such a terrifying sword intent. Even here, I felt like I could get cut to pieces." Kuina paled upon seeing Huo Yuhao rained by the dark sword slash.

"C-Can he win?"

"Believe in Yuhao-sama." Rossweisse suddenly said while wiping her mouth. "He's a man who made miracles."

"Mhm." Huang Qiu'er, Robin, and Raikou agreed with her.

Kuina bit her lips, "You guys are right. I should believe in Master's powers."

Meanwhile, Toki couldn't believe her eyes.

"I-Is this the power of a God?"

"Yuhao-sama fought the mysterious black-robed man so fiercely."

Tian Meng and Helena didn't say anything. They wish they could help Huo Yuhao right now, but they can't.

"Papa..." Helana stared at the bleeding Huo Yuhao. Her heart tightened seeing this.

Tian Meng wasn't any better than Helena. Her true essence is connected to Huo Yuhao's eyes, so she can see what others can't see.

Huo Yuhao is facing the greatest crisis in his life!

Unfortunately, Tian Meng could only mask her panic with a calm expression. She cannot afford to make the situation worse.

BAM!

After all the struggle, Huo Yuhao successfully diminished the black-robed man's sword slash.

"Oh?" The black-robed man finally showed some reactions.

"Not bad. With that decent combination of buffs. You could withstand my sword strike."

"But this is far from enough."

"I know that." Huo Yuhao answered with a slightly trembling hand.

"And just you know, this is just the beginning!"

The black-robed man's crimson eyes flashed with amusement, "You're right. We are just getting started.."

He swung his sword again.

This time, he swung it twice.

It's double the weight Huo Yuhao must bear.

Huo Yuhao's eyes calmly observed the tightly condensed sword intent and swept his hand, which held the ancient brush. Several blue ripples appeared behind him.

A bow, prayer bead, three daggers, a greatsword, and many other divine weapons appeared.

"Gate of Azure Emperor." Huo Yuhao's eyes filled with red light of sword intent.

"GO!"

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Red lights and blue lights clashed in the air, creating purple chaos.

Huo Yuhao utilized his Class Skills to the max, coating each weapon with 'special energy' only the Divine-grade Class could have.

From Moon's Piercer to the Netherworld Avenger. Huo Yuhao controlled all this power telepathically.

Since Huo Yuhao couldn't win with quality, he'd win with quantity.

After a full minute, Huo Yuhao had used nearly 10% of his divine weapons and frowned deeply.

'This is bad. If I can't crack this guy's sword intent, I can't win.' Huo Yuhao pondered deeply.

'Just what is his power? To have such firepower with a casual sword swing! Even a cheat should have a limit, right?'

'Wait, cheat?'

A smirk formed on Huo Yuhao's face as he let go of his halberd.

Huo Yuhao brushed the air with an ancient brush and painted something out of pure inspiration. Black ink soared and formed an image.

"Heh... This kid is gambling hard." The black-robed man instantly knew what Huo Yuhao wanted to do. "Then, again, his luck is powerful."

Huo Yuhao finished his masterpiece and shouted, "Come! The Ink Sky Mirror's Clone!"

A black ripple appeared in space-time and revealed a carbon copy of the black-robed man. He also had crimson eyes and wielded a jet-black sword.

The only difference is that the ink clone's skin is slightly darker.

The ink clone calmly stared at the black-robed man and pointed his sword decisively, "Let's fight."
