Although they spoke, they did not slow down as they ascended the mountain. In the blink of an eye, they could see the silhouette of the massive Phoenix Shrine.
The construction of this shrine was extremely spectacular. In order to build its foundation, the entire top of Jiaozhi Mountain had been flattened. The shrine was very wide. It was several kilometers long and wide, and it was over 100 meters tall. It looked like a house for a super giant to live in.
"These Octopus people live in shabby mud houses like beggars, but they are willing to build a shrine." Xiao Wu was still complaining when a terrifying pressure suddenly descended from the sky.
A Saint-leveled expert!
Xiao Wu, Stark, and Holmdi instantly felt their bodies become heavy and almost could not lift their feet. Although their combat level was strong, they were only at the peak of the Heroic Soul Stage. When faced with the targeted pressure of a Saint-leveled expert, it was very difficult for them to even move. Meanwhile, Enoch, Micah, and Solomon were much better off. They were Semi-Heavenly Souls and had begun to pry into the heavenly laws. The pressure of a Saint-leveled expert did not have much of an effect on them.
Meanwhile, Kai, who was standing beside Solomon, was not shocked by the pressure of this Saint-leveled expert. On the contrary, he was the first to calmly raise his head and look into the sky.
An Octopus man wearing a magic robe was floating in mid-air. The antennae on his head were extremely sparkling and translucent, and he was holding a scroll that emitted a green light in his hand. It seemed to be his artifact, and it was overflowing with colors. Waves of cold elemental energy seeped out from the scroll, emitting wisps of cold air in the air like frost.
"How dare you trespass into the shrine, lowly bug." The Warlock Saint spoke in the human language. "Die!"
Just as he finished speaking, he pointed with his left hand, and a crystal clear beam of energy shot out from his fingertip towards Solomon. Solomon wanted to try it out. He had not fought with the Warlock Saint directly, but a figure had already swept past him.
Pa!
It was a palm that casually waved in the air. The crystal clear beam of cold air was casually dispersed by him.
It was Kai!
Kai was not only one of the Dandelions, but he was also their coach. Before Solomon entered the Holy Land, Kai was already a Heavenly Soul. Furthermore, he was not an ordinary Heavenly Soul. When Kai had just advanced to the Heavenly Soul Stage, he had already defeated countless famous Heavenly Soul experts in the Empire and was known as the number one person in the Kaiser Empire! If not for the fact that the Pampas Empire had produced Aiolos, who was able to fight to a draw with Armored at a young age, causing Solomon to be extremely apprehensive, Solomon would have probably used the power of Armored to unify a few large empires …
"I'll deal with him," he said calmly.
His body was overflowing with golden light, and the aura of a Heavenly Soul expert appeared in an instant. It instantly diluted and counteracted the pressure that the Warlock Saint exuded. As a result, Xiao Wu and the others, who were struggling to walk, suddenly felt the pressure on their bodies decrease.
Solomon smiled slightly, as if he was not worried at all that Kai was facing a Warlock Saint who was said to be comparable to three Sword Saints. He just nodded and said, "Catch up as soon as possible."
His feet didn't stop, and as he spoke he was already hurrying towards the temple. Xiao Wu and the others followed closely behind him.
The Warlock Saint in the sky was slightly angry. Although he could sense that the human Heavenly Soul in front of him was very powerful, these humans actually dared to ignore his existence just because they had the combat power of a Heavenly Soul?
"Arrogant fellow, how dare you!"
He roared and waved his hand. Countless elements in the surroundings frantically gathered towards him, and the cold air suddenly increased. Dark clouds instantly condensed in the sky, brewing a storm. He wanted to bury all this trash in one move!
The Warlock Saint condensed his technique extremely quickly, but the human Heavenly Soul was even faster. In the blink of an eye, before the Warlock Saint could clearly see the human Heavenly Soul's movements, a high-pressure whip kick had already crazily smashed towards his head with the weight of a mountain.
Boom!
There was a massive explosion, and the dark clouds that were condensing instantly dissipated. A massive protective shield that had a radius of two meters and was several feet thick appeared around the Warlock Saint's body. Although he had resisted Kai's attack, the terrifying impact caused the Warlock Saint and the eggshell-like protective shield to crash into the ground. Like a meteor crashing into the ground, a large section of the green jade stone steps was smashed into pieces, forming a large pit that had a radius of dozens of meters!
"Your opponent is me." At this moment, Kai's voice floated over calmly from the sky.
"You're asking for death!" The Warlock Saint was extremely furious. The protective shield that he had activated in time had allowed him to avoid being injured by the terrifying attack just now, but it had also forced the attack that he had condensed to disperse, allowing the humans to charge straight into the temple.
He suddenly unfurled the scroll in his hand, as if it had strengthened his power and body. The cold air in the surroundings suddenly flourished, as if even the air was about to be frozen. Closely after, a cold light flashed in the large pit. The Warlock Saint, who was wrapped in an eggshell-like shield, soared into the sky like a white meteor and violently collided with Kai, who was shining with a golden light in midair … The two Heavenly Souls were fighting fiercely behind him.
Behind him, the two Heavenly Souls were fighting intensely, but Solomon did not even look at them. He had his own things to do, and Kai had never disappointed him. They had improved, and the talented Kai was like a fish in water in this world. Countless experts had come to train him, and there was an abundance of energy. It could be said that this was Kai's paradise. This was the wealth that the Kaiser Empire had given him and was his protector.
Simply put, if an existence like Aiolos was willing to be someone's guard and could sacrifice his life at any time, how terrifying would that be?
The shrine was right in front of them. It was obvious that they had heard the commotion at the mountainside. Other than the Warlock Saint guarding the gate, there were also thousands of Octopus people soldiers gathered in an orderly formation outside the shrine. This was different from the hastily assembled guards that they had encountered at the base camp. They had a strict aura and a strict formation. The first few rows were all Great Swordsmen, and behind them were hundreds of Great Wizards who were gathering various elemental powers. It was obvious that their combat power was astonishing, and they firmly guarded the entrance to the shrine.
At that moment, the two sides were charging towards each other, but the first to attack was Solomon's side, which had fewer people. They had just charged through the Octopus people's base camp in an unstoppable manner. This group of people had an imposing aura.
The massive bow in Holmdi's hand flashed continuously, and his fingers flicked rapidly as if they were spasming. In an instant, it was as if there were countless shooting stars shooting through the air.
The Octopus people's guards were not careless just because the other side had fewer people. It was obvious that these people had outstanding abilities since they had been able to charge here. The Great Wizards had immediately gathered a defensive shield. Hundreds of Great Wizards had attacked at the same time, and they covered almost the entire Octopus people army. The rain of arrows hit the defensive shield and produced a series of "pa pa pa pa" sounds. However, they could not break through the shield.
But at the same time, four figures had already passed Solomon and charged into the formation formed by the Octopus people.
They fought at close quarters. The strength of the guards in the shrine was evidently above that of ordinary Octopus people. They wore the uniform of the Sword Faction and were all disciples of the Sword Faction. However, the combat power of these four people was higher than theirs. Xiao Wu was light and agile. She weaved left and right among the Octopus people. Every time she raised her blade, she would definitely take a life.
On the other hand, Stark was like a bloodthirsty ferocious beast. He rampaged through the formation of the guards. Although his tough wolf bristles could not completely block the power of the divine swords in the hands of the Great Swordsmen, they could at least reduce half of it. His fighting style was extremely crazy. He did not care about the wounds on his body at all. He used his injuries to exchange for his life. The sharp claws in his hands were already stained with blood.
However, Micah and Enoch were even more impressive. No matter whether it was the figure that moved at the speed of light and cut into the formation of Great Wizards behind the Octopus people's formation as if he was cutting grass, or Micah, who was shining with black light and ignored all attacks, they were not existences that the disciples of the Sword Faction could contend against.
As for Solomon …
He had finally attacked. When they saw him attack, the disciples of the Sword Faction, who had been killed by the five people, finally experienced the terror of despair!
There was a strange light flickering on his body, covering a radius of about ten meters around him. It was light, but it wasn't very bright. However, one could see its existence. Even the space was distorted, as if there was a disorder in time and space.
Dozens of Great Swordsmen attacked him at the same time and released ferocious Sword Qi at him.
However, when the Sword Qi entered the strange space around him, various strange changes occurred. It was as if the Sword Qi had been disintegrated and consumed. In just one or two seconds, it had completely disappeared.
This feeling was extremely strange. In fact, no one could understand how they had done it. However, in this intense battle, the Octopus people did not have the time to think too much. These people were charging at them too quickly. In the blink of an eye, they had already engaged in a chaotic battle with the Octopus people. As a result, the Great Wizards at the back had completely become decorations. Their attacks could not differentiate between friend and foe, and they could only randomly attack the soldiers in front of them.
At that moment, the Sword Qi could not affect Solomon, and the Great Wizards could not help him either.
They had to get closer! The seven or eight Octopus Great Swordsmen at the outermost area immediately pounced at Solomon. However, when they entered Solomon's space, a terrifying scene occurred. Their bodies were rapidly changing. It was as if their flesh and blood were being sucked away by an invisible force. It was also as if … they were rapidly aging!
In just two or three seconds, their crystalline tentacles had become dim and lifeless. Their originally strong muscles had withered, and even their taut skin had instantly become loose. Their faces were rapidly filled with wrinkles. They were only ten meters away, but before they could attack Solomon, they had already aged to the point that they were on the verge of death. They fell limply to the ground and rapidly turned into piles of white bones!
Space-Time rule — — Changing the World in a Single Thought!
This was the case for one, 10, and 100!
Solomon did not even make any unnecessary movements. He simply placed his hands behind his back and walked forward in a straight line as if he was taking a leisurely stroll. Then, he left behind corpses all over the ground!
These Sword Faction disciples very quickly collapsed. As members of the guardian shrine, they were elites who had been nurtured by the Sword Faction since they were young. They were not afraid of death. If they could die in battle to protect the shrine, they would feel extremely honored. However, this way of dying felt too worthless and too frightening. It was only their previous beliefs that kept them from running away, but their formation had long since collapsed, and they had also lost the belief that they would win. Even their combat strength was rapidly declining.
Before these six terrifying humans, the divine hall guards who thought they were superior were no different from the ordinary outer sect disciples of the Sword Sect on the outskirts.
In just over a minute, the entire guardian army of the shrine was completely defeated. Apart from a few timid ones who escaped, the rest of the warriors endured the fear in their hearts and persevered to the end. However, in the end, they all turned into cold corpses. Some of them even turned into white bones, which were scattered all over the ground outside the majestic shrine.
The last few sporadic sounds of battle quickly calmed down, and the strange aura around Solomon retracted. Micah, Enoch, Xiao Wu, Holmdi, and Stark gathered from all directions at the same time and followed behind him, making him look like a king.
There was admiration in Xiao Wu's eyes. Although she was usually disrespectful to the Young Master, she felt that the Young Master was the most handsome in her heart. Even when he was killing people, he was so elegant and had a unique personality. He was completely different from her, who lived on the edge of a blade.
If one wanted to survive in such a chaotic world and even become stronger, it was very important to follow the right person.
The shrine was unusually quiet. It was different from what they had imagined that there would be countless guards inside. After all, this was only a branch of the Phoenix Shrine. While they shared the majority of the power on the main battlefield, there was also a Warlock Saint stationed here and thousands of elite guardians of the shrine. This was already beyond the imagination of humans. The importance that the Octopus people placed on the Phoenix Shrine was beyond the imagination of humans.
What was here? Was it really just because of the Octopus people's beliefs that they were willing to defend the shrine to the death?
There was nothing in the shrine. Although there were carvings of phoenixes on the surrounding walls and massive pillars, other than the phoenix totem on the front wall, which was exceptionally large, there was not even a standard place for sacrifices. It seemed like it was really just an extremely massive house.
Solomon furrowed his eyebrows slightly.
"Damn, is their shrine so poor?" Xiao Wu, who was beside him, was also dumbfounded.
Other than wanting to compete with the other exploration teams for the credit of being the first to blow up the shrine, they also thought that since this was an important place for the Octopus people, there would definitely be many valuable treasures here. Everyone had made a lot of money in this war. If not, no matter how rich the Caesar Empire was, it was only rich on Earth. Just the black gold that Micah was wearing was not something that an empire that had just set foot in the Holy City could obtain.
With the Phoenix Shrine that the Octopus people attached great importance to, Solomon felt that he could at least equip another Micah! However, he did not expect that there was nothing here.
No!
Solomon saw something strange. On the massive phoenix totem in the center of the shrine, there was an extremely fine crack that split the entire totem into two. It was like … a door!
A treasure trove?
Solomon walked forward and stretched out his hand to push it. However, the massive wall did not move at all. He could feel the texture of the massive wall when he touched it. It was not made of ordinary stone but an unusual metal. It seemed to have some sort of life attribute and was extremely hard. Furthermore, it was one entity and could not be divided at all.
Could it be that the entire wall was made of some kind of life metal? The value of this wall alone was probably immeasurable. However, it was a pity that he could only look at it. Life metal was extremely hard. Without professional tools, even with Kai's strength, it was very difficult to directly cut and decompose it. Even if he saw it, he would not be able to take it away. However, there was an advantage. As long as it was a living entity, it would be controlled by the rules of space and time.
Solomon's hands, which were pressed against the wall, did not move at all. However, the light that distorted space on his body shone again. Furthermore, the area that it covered was even larger than when they had entered the shrine to fight. The time that it sped up was also faster!
Wherever Solomon's feet and hands touched, large patches of moss grew at a speed that could be seen by the naked eye. They were like blooming green flowers that densely covered the massive wall. The wall that had a metal life was also undergoing a slight change.
The lifespan of a metal life was extremely long. It could easily be counted in tens of thousands of years. Meanwhile, the metal life that had formed this massive wall was outstanding among them. Its lifespan seemed to be almost eternal. As time flowed at an extremely fast speed, various slight distortions could be seen on the massive wall. However, it was as if this metal life had just turned over and taken a nap. There were no signs of oxidation at all …
Solomon furrowed his eyebrows even more tightly. Beads of sweat continuously dripped from his forehead. After all, he had not reached the Heavenly Soul Stage and could not borrow the help of external forces in the heaven and the earth. His ability to sustain the space-time acceleration was limited, and the speed at which he could accelerate was also limited. It seemed that he was slightly helpless against this metal wall.
It looked like he could only return empty-handed. Although it was a little regretful, fortunately, the reward for destroying the shrine was not low.
However, just as Solomon was about to give up, a strange aura suddenly seeped out from the crack in the massive wall. Closely after, he heard a cracking sound. The massive wall split into two and automatically opened up from the crack.
Boom!
An incomparably terrifying and oppressive aura emanated from the darkness. Micah and the others behind him instantly felt as if a pair of invisible giant hands had descended from the sky and pinned them firmly to the ground. They prostrated themselves on the ground, unable to move at all!
The boundless pressure was unimaginably terrifying. Even the pressure from Sacred Teacher Leyson when he attacked with all his might outside the Mizobudapi World could not compare to this pressure! Everyone was extremely shocked.
What was this?!
Solomon's heart also sank. This was not the feeling of a treasure house. Almost at the same time that he sensed the pressure, a terrifying suction force had firmly grabbed onto him and was about to pull him into the boundless darkness!
… …
At that moment, in the fragment world.
It was a house on the east side of the dilapidated castle. The house was extremely dirty and messy, but at that moment, it had been tidied up and looked clean. Even the corpses on the street outside had been taken away by the Headless Knight under Wang Zhong's command a few days ago. This was not pretentious or particular. Cultivation was about one's state of mind. If one saw corpses all over the ground when they went out every day, they would probably lose their state of mind.
At that moment, Wang Zhong was sitting cross-legged on the ground.
There were two basic requirements to break through to the Heavenly Soul Stage.
Firstly, he had to accumulate power and realm during his Heroic Soul period. He had to reach perfection and even surpass his personal limits. Secondly, he had to have a coincidental epiphany. That was an opportunity to break through to the Heavenly Soul Stage. It could be an accidental comprehension of power that would allow his combat level to increase rapidly and prove his path with power. It could also be a change in one's state of mind. Whether one was extremely happy or extremely sad, those were all opportunities. Only when these unexpected events occurred could the barrier of one's Heroic Soul be broken and the Hellfire and Heart Demons in one's body be triggered to complete the minor Heavenly Calamity.
Accumulation was just preparation. Opportunities were the key to breaking through to the Heavenly Soul Stage. Wang Zhong's thoughts were very clear.
He did not lack in accumulation. The appearance of divine cells was already something that transcended realms. He had broken through the limits of the Heroic Soul Stage a long time ago. Now, he only lacked an opportunity. It was very difficult to ask for changes in one's emotions. One could not just say that one was extremely happy or extremely sad. Furthermore, he knew his own situation. With his firm will, it would be very difficult for anything in this world to cause him to suffer an emotional blow that would stimulate him to break through to the Heavenly Soul Stage.
Thus, he could only pursue an understanding of power and prove his path with power.
To be honest, even if this had not happened, Wang Zhong had already sensed his weakness in battles at the Heroic Soul Stage. He could tell from his battle with Wolf King Alexander that his physical strength and comprehension of his realm were above Alexander's. No matter how strong the Nine-Rune Abstruse Domination Spirit was, it could not be stronger than his divine cells. But even so, with his strongest close combat power, the 3rd Drive, he could not completely break through his opponent's defense. Furthermore, techniques like the Heroic Crosswheel Slash and Phoenix Rises to Ninth Heaven were useful in bullying noobs, but when faced with extremely powerful individuals, they frequently showed their weakness.
Others might feel that he was very powerful, but that was only the opinion of the weak. Only Wang Zhong knew that his realm was higher than his combat level. He had not unleashed the greatest combat power of his divine cells. This was the greatest difference between him and a true Saint-leveled expert. This could not be helped. He had benefited from the special effects of Cellular Cosmology and had many fortuitous encounters along the way. His physical body and realm had improved too quickly. He could only passively follow this improvement in various unexpected situations. He was not like when he was in the Holy City, where he had plenty of time to develop his own techniques and path …
It was time for him to calm down. Stepping into this space that he could not leave might be an opportunity for him.
At that moment, Wang Zhong's heart was extremely calm. He was not anxious at all because he was in a hopeless situation. He placed his hands on his knees and held the Nebula Sword as he carefully comprehended it.
Ever since he had obtained this divine sword, Wang Zhong had comprehended it many times. Regardless of whether it was his observation of the external structure of the sword, its weight, length, or other detailed data, he had also used his divine sense to explore and feel the illusory starry sky.
To be honest, other than being able to faintly sense the existence of a trace of the rules of the universe, Wang Zhong did not comprehend anything else. However, perhaps it was because he had to break through because he was in a hopeless situation, or perhaps it was because his divine cells had evolved in the Shadow Moon Fortress, but his soul had improved greatly. At that moment, when he carefully comprehended the Nebula Sword, he felt that it was slightly different from before.
