He had already reached the Semi-Heavenly Soul Stage. Of course, Solomon knew what he had to face when he broke through to the Heavenly Soul Stage. At that moment, he felt slightly uneasy. After all, according to Kai's description, the minor Heavenly Calamity was extremely dangerous. Furthermore, he had not made any preparations. However, very quickly, he knew that he did not need to make any preparations.
The Hellfire in his body burned vigorously. It was 10 times more terrifying than the most terrifying Hellfire that Solomon had heard from Kai! He was the prince of the Caesar Empire and the future successor of the Empire. He shouldered the heavy responsibility of revitalizing the Empire and controlled the lives of millions of people. There were too many restraints and desires in his heart. Thus, the Hellfire was born. It was simply a raging fire that burned the heavens. It was so vigorous that it almost jumped out of his internal organs! Countless internal flames could even be seen on the surface of his body, causing his entire body to turn red!
Even Kai would have died many times from such Hellfire. However, the massive power in the nine-headed snake sword treated the Hellfire as if it did not exist. It only spread slightly, and an endless amount of power enveloped all the organs, meridians, and blood vessels in his body. No matter how the Hellfire burned, he did not move. Not only did Solomon not feel any discomfort, but he also felt warm and extremely comfortable.
This was a true guardian of an almighty being!
Solomon immediately knew that no matter how terrifying the Tempering Soul Calamity and the inner demons were, they were insignificant in the face of the power of an almighty god …
Kai, who was in the shrine, was anxious. At that moment, Xiao Wu and the others, who were guarding the door of the shrine, were even more anxious. Although Kai was 50% confident that Solomon's life was not in danger and that he might be able to come out safely very soon, time waited for no one.
After delaying for a long time, the news that the shrine guards and the guardian elders had all been killed in battle had spread among the Octopus people. Most of the outer camps on the mountainside had collapsed and been broken through. The first to arrive at the shrine were the Storm Listeners and the Imperial Court. The five teams that the two exploration teams had sent out were all extremely powerful. They had already gained the upper hand at the mountain gate camps. When the news that the Octopus people had lost the shrine spread, the camps that were on the verge of defeat immediately collapsed. Then, they immediately rushed towards the shrine.
The mission was to blow up the shrine, and breaking through the mountain gates and camps was just an obstacle. Although the Caesar team that Solomon was in was the first to enter the shrine, they did not blow it up. At this time, the other teams rushed over and, of course, wanted a share of the loot. At this time, they were confronting Xiao Wu and the others. Carolyn was also among them. The exploration team that she led had also arrived.
"What do you mean by sudden enlightenment? How can there be such a coincidence?"
"I heard that your Caesar Empire has gotten quite a lot from the previous missions. Could it be that you've discovered something big in this temple? Treasure? Surprise attack? You're blocking us. Is Solomon moving things inside? "
"That's right. Furthermore, what kind of enlightenment does he have to occupy the shrine and not let others enter? Are you afraid of disturbing him? Do you think that he is undergoing a minor Heavenly Calamity? "
"Ha ha! After entering the Holy City for a year, he has advanced from an ordinary Heroic Soul to the Heavenly Soul Stage. This cultivation speed is probably the fastest in history. Your Solomon is really impressive. "
A few captains of the Storm Listeners mocked and ridiculed Solomon. Solomon had left the Storm Listeners and formed another team with the Caesar Empire. This was not a big deal. Under normal circumstances, when a capable expert from a large exploration team left to form his own team, his old friends would congratulate him. In fact, they would even help him out on account of their old friendship. After all, those who were qualified to form a team were all experts. It was better to befriend them than to offend them. Of course, more importantly, this kind of new exploration team usually did not have any conflicts of interest with the large exploration teams.
However, was the Caesar Empire an ordinary new exploration team? The speed at which they rose to prominence was much faster than the Wanderlust Team in the north. They had their own strength and had the support of the government. They looked down on small missions and specifically snatched from the large exploration teams. Furthermore, they did not care about their 'old friendship' with the Storm Listeners and snatched what they should snatch, treating everyone equally …
This was not proper! This was too improper. Most of the people in the Storm Listeners were very unhappy with Solomon.
Xiao Wu and the others did not reply. At this moment, Micah had already woken up. When the captains came up, Micah told them that Solomon had suddenly gained enlightenment and was in closed-door cultivation. Then, he and a few others stood at the door of the shrine. No matter what the others said, the five of them occupied the door and did not budge.
"Damn, do they really think that they are door gods?" One of the people from the Imperial Court could not hold back anymore. A great achievement was right in front of them. As long as they blew up the Phoenix Shrine of the Octopus people, such a tall and eye-catching building would definitely be earth-shattering once it was blown up. It could be clearly seen from hundreds of kilometers away. This would definitely affect the morale of the Octopus people army below. Then, the Octopus people would be defeated and they would be victorious at Jiaozhi Mountains.
"Others might be afraid of the Caesar Empire, but we don't care! If you continue to block our way, don't blame us for being impolite! "
A few impatient captains spoke as they tried to force their way through.
However, closely after, whoosh whoosh whoosh …
The five people guarding the door instantly reacted. Xiao Wu and Enoch had already unsheathed their daggers, while Holmdi had already drawn his massive bow. Stark's hair stood on end, and Micah simply took a step forward. His black aura filled the air, and his aura was astonishing. "Anyone who dares to disturb the Young Master's closed-door cultivation will be killed without mercy!"
The aura and determination of these five people were extremely astonishing. Micah's Semi-Heavenly Soul aura instantly shocked everyone. Just by looking at his aura, they could sense that he was likely someone at the level of a team leader from one of the top 10 exploration teams! A newcomer who had not revealed himself in the Tyrants had actually …
Although they were all elites and had the advantage in numbers, when faced with Micah, no one dared to directly step forward. However, countless swords were unsheathed, and both parties immediately drew their swords. A battle was about to break out.
"Don't attack." Carolyn's voice finally sounded.
Needless to say, compared to the practitioners who only knew strength and slaughter, Carolyn was more like a qualified politician. At the very least, she knew how to judge the world and how to speak.
In reality, the captains did not want to fight. When faced with a Semi-Heavenly Soul, unless their exploration team leader was here, they would not be able to gain an advantage with just their elite team.
"We are at war, and there are strict laws in the base. If we really attack, everyone has to consider the consequences of internal strife." Carolyn first stabilized the situation with these words. Then, she turned to look at Micah. "But Micah, you should also know that the Holy City Army is currently fighting a bloody battle with the main force of the Octopus people. If we can destroy the shrine a second earlier, the Octopus people will be defeated a second earlier, and the Holy City Army will have at least a few dozen soldiers who will die! While we are talking, I'm afraid that hundreds or even thousands of human soldiers below have been injured or killed! Thus, even if Solomon has suddenly gained enlightenment and is in closed-door training, I advise him to come out and find another place. If not, delaying a battle is the greatest crime. It is enough to wipe out the 100,000 soldiers that he has donated! "
Micah furrowed his eyebrows. If Carolyn had said anything else, he wouldn't have cared at all. However, if this group of people really went to the base to complain about the crime of delaying a battle, then all of Solomon's previous efforts would have been in vain. That was something that Solomon valued the most. As Solomon's trusted aide, he had to share Solomon's worries. He hesitated. The situation was a little out of his control. Should he go in and ask Kai first? Perhaps he could directly contact the higher-ups of the base and tell them the truth about Solomon being sucked into the door. Perhaps there were experts in the base who would know what to do.
His hesitation caused the others to obviously feel guilty. A few captains took the opportunity to scold him.
"Shut up! He's just finding an excuse to delay time and snatching things inside!"
"That's right. Comprehension? Isn't he already a Semi-Heavenly Soul? If he breaks through again, he will be a Heavenly Soul. Ha ha, what a joke. If he can break through to the Heavenly Soul Stage, I can even wash his feet every day! "
"Micah." A calm laugh suddenly sounded from the shrine.
Everyone was slightly dumbfounded. They felt a flash in front of them, and a figure appeared in front of Micah. It was Solomon!
At that moment, his entire body was emitting an aura of being one with the world. His entire body was shining with golden light, and it was as if every pore on his body could breathe. Spiritual influence continuously gathered in his body, as if he was the darling of the world. Everyone was instantly dumbfounded, including Carolyn. Her mouth was slightly open, but she could not say anything.
Heavenly Soul! Furthermore, he did not seem to be an ordinary Heavenly Soul. At that moment, the aura emitted from Solomon's body was even more powerful than that of the ordinary Great Teachers in the base!
Was — was that really Solomon?
A newcomer who had only entered the Holy City for slightly more than a year had actually completed the leap from the Heroic Soul Stage to the Heavenly Soul Stage. This …
"Blow up the Phoenix Shrine." He did not even look at the people from the other exploration teams. In fact, he did not even look at Carolyn, who had a gloomy expression on her face. He simply smiled at Micah and said, "We should go back."
… …
In the empty space, two swords faced each other.
Wang Zhong didn't even know how much time had passed. He was just immersed in his cultivation and comprehending the unique way of fighting with sword power. With Wang Zhong's comprehension ability, he had already gained some understanding of the principles behind sword power when he first came into contact with it. Power wasn't the key, but the key was rhythm and sword power. These things sounded illusory, but they truly existed. These were the rules.
Wang Zhong felt that he faintly understood this rule and the principles behind it. However, understanding was one thing, and doing it was another.
Now, he could also release a similar sword power, but the power of his sword power was slightly lacking. He could not suppress his opponent and could only defend himself with difficulty. However, defending was not as good as attacking. As time passed, he would be affected by his opponent and his rhythm would be disrupted. Then, he would collapse.
He had already tried this thousands of times. Every time, the effects were better than the previous ones, and he could persist for a longer period of time. However, every time he collapsed at the very end, his soul would be injured to varying degrees. Wang Zhong did not care about this kind of injury once or twice, but it would be very terrifying if it accumulated. Fortunately, he had the Fate Stone. Every time he sensed that Wang Zhong's soul was seriously injured, the Fate Stone would always be able to repair him in time. Then, he would start a new round of trials.
The two Nebula Swords shone in the starry sky and released the same sword power. It was as if the entire universe was affected by the vibrations from this sword power. Endless echoes reverberated in the empty space.
Pa! Pa! Pa! Pa …
After experiencing the repair of his soul by the Fate Stone, this time, he felt particularly good. Wang Zhong had completely forgotten himself. It was as if he had truly transformed into the Nebula Sword and was using an extremely unique method to engage in unconventional battles with his own kind.
The rhythm of both parties was exactly the same. The nodes of every vibration were exactly the same. Wang Zhong's sword power had also increased slightly, and he felt that it was enough to protect himself. You can't make me move, and I can't make you move either. Time slowly passed, and both parties seemed to have entered a deadlock.
Changes often occurred in a deadlock. When he had persisted for more than a certain amount of time, there were continuous vibrations all around him. However, Wang Zhong could clearly sense that his sword intent was rapidly increasing in this continuous confrontation. The feeling of transforming into a sword was also becoming more and more intense. He had even forgotten that he was a human called Wang Zhong!
Gradually, the feeling of deliberately imitating became weaker and weaker. He finally found the path of the sword power and completely integrated with it. It was completely natural.
He was like a sword, and the sword was like him.
His power did not change, and his rhythm did not change either. However, his sword power suddenly changed.
He had the aura of a king that looked down on everything. It was as if he was the king of swords and was the only one in the world!
Once the sword power was formed, power would be born!
He did not deliberately control the rhythm of the sword power. The rhythm only led him to the basics, not the sword power itself. With just a thought, the originally slow rhythm was completely controlled by Wang Zhong's thoughts.
Pa pa pa pa pa!!
There was a vibration that suddenly turned from calm to rapid. It was as if Lao Wang wanted to vent his dissatisfaction from being abused by this sword thousands of times. The divine sword in front of him suddenly exploded and turned into nothing!
Had he passed?
During this period of time, he had been resisting the sword power. Furthermore, he had always been on the defensive and had never counterattacked. He never expected that he would succeed on his first counterattack. As a result, Wang Zhong was not quite used to this.
However, before Lao Wang could be slightly surprised, the Nebula Sword had once again condensed in front of him.
Could it be that this was an endless loop? Was the so-called inheritance just that sword power?
Before Wang Zhong could think too much, the Nebula Sword had already changed. It was different from how it had used the power of the sword to attack while floating in mid-air. The moment the power of the sword condensed, the Nebula Sword had already moved. It made a turn in the air. This turn caused the entire world to spin!
Wang Zhong felt as if the entire universe had started to spin as the Nebula Sword spun. At that moment, he could not even tell which direction was north, let alone deal with it!
It simply spun until he felt dizzy and his vision blurred. His chest felt so stuffy that he wanted to vomit!
Before he could clearly see what the Nebula Sword was going to do next, his body suddenly shattered in the dizziness. Even until his death, he did not see exactly how his opponent had attacked!
His soul was instantly pulled back. This time, the damage to his soul was ten times worse than the previous times he was shattered by the sword's might. Moreover, it brought with it a strong sense of dizziness. It took him a long time to recover from it! Even though Lao Wang's soul had always been resilient, at that moment, he could not take it anymore. However, this level of damage had not reached the level where he would trigger the Fate Stone. As a result, Wang Zhong sat on the ground and rested for over ten minutes before he recovered.
