A hundred years passed in a hurry.
Zhou Tong fought alone in the icy canyon that spanned hundreds of millions of miles. This was a canyon completely formed from ice. Zhou Tong's sword and saber danced in the air, each strike killing at least one Heavenly God Realm demon. Sometimes, he could even kill seven or eight demons with a single strike.
"Clang!" "Clang!" "Clang!"
Sword light danced in the air, piercing a demon's head with a single strike. Saber light scattered, cleaving another demon in half. Eight nearby demons were instantly cut in half. Occasionally, a flame would scatter, burning large swathes of demons to ashes.
With his cultivation as a Heaven God, he could unleash more than a dozen attacks every second in a battle like this. At least a dozen fiendish demons would fall, while at most twenty to thirty would fall. Sometimes, he could even kill hundreds of fiendish demons with a single attack when he used his fire attacks.
On average, he killed two to three hundred thousand Fiendish Demons every day. In a hundred years, he had killed close to a hundred billion demons.
However, these hundred billion demons quickly disappeared after their deaths, leaving no corpses behind.
Undermoon Lake was very special. These demons had all been specially arranged. They could not even be considered real life. They were similar to puppets with intelligence. Their strength could not improve, and they would enter the depths of the canyon to be resurrected after being killed.
Otherwise, how could there be demons in this place that could withstand such slaughter?
"His rate of improvement is simply too fast. Ever since Undermoon Lake was created, none of the cultivators who have entered this place have improved at such a rate. The speed of his sword arts and saber arts have almost surpassed the limits of the Heavenly Daos." The demon king looked down from atop an icy mountain on either side of the canyon.
Countless demons surrounded Zhou Tong like ants. This scene had been going on for a hundred years.
"Yes, too fast! In just thirty years, his saber and sword force went from the third realm to the fourth realm. That's an unimaginable speed of improvement. Now that another seventy years have passed, his saber and sword force is about to reach the fifth realm. " The Purgatory God, who had been defeated by Zhou Tong, also stood to the side. He watched in amazement as Zhou Tong continued his slaughter below.
"Also, his sword and saber techniques are indeed a little strange. The sword technique doesn't seem to have gone through any detours. It should be a sword technique left behind by the predecessors. However, the saber technique is purely original. Over the past hundred years, there are obvious traces of originality. Now, it has reached the same level as the sword technique … "
"And his Fire Elemental Dao is also very strange. I've never seen anything like it before. The speed of his improvement is too fast …"
The Purgatory God's eyes were sharp. He immediately saw the most important part of Zhou Tong.
The speed of his progress was fast, which meant that he definitely had a "method" that pointed to the key points. However, while he was advancing on the correct path, he was actually able to create another path from scratch. This was incredible.
"It's about time, retreat!" At this moment, the Demon King suddenly spoke.
With the word "retreat", the endless horde of demons instantly disappeared like a tide.
For a moment, Zhou Tong was not used to it. After fighting for over a hundred years, he naturally felt a little uncomfortable when he suddenly stopped. Fortunately, his mind sank a little and he immediately calmed down.
"Have I passed?" Zhou Tong looked at the Demon King that walked out and asked.
"According to the requirements, ten billion demons will be able to pass. You exceeded the requirements by ten times!" The Demon King praised. "For countless years, you are the one who has killed the most. Sword and saber techniques have reached the limit of the Heavenly Dao. Moreover, the Saber Dao and Sword Dao are indeed the best at attacking … so there is no doubt that you have passed."
"See you at Thousand Stars Island!" The Demon King said and quickly disappeared in front of Zhou Tong.
"I finally passed!" Zhou Tong also heaved a sigh of relief. A hundred years of continuous slaughter was not a big deal to his divine body. However, the mental pressure was increasing.
"In a hundred years, I have killed hundreds of billions of demons. The saber and sword techniques that I have cultivated with so many lives are indeed incomparably sharp and unparalleled in attack!" Zhou Tong did not advance for the time being. Instead, he sat down cross-legged and quietly comprehended the progress of his saber and sword techniques.
Before entering this canyon, he had been in this world for less than a hundred years. Now that a hundred years had passed, almost seventy percent of the time he had been in this world was spent killing and fighting without sleep.
"It is indeed fast to comprehend saber and sword techniques in battle. However, what I comprehend in this state is the way of killing and not the orthodox Great Dao!" Zhou Tong muttered to himself after pondering for a while.
He had already cultivated more than half of the fourth chapter of the Five Treasures Swordsmanship. He only lacked the last bit. However, this last bit was not something that could be solved by fighting and killing. He had to have a brand-new comprehension outside of killing.
By the same logic, the progress of his saber and Fire Elemental Dao was similar.
After a hundred years of killing and fighting, although his saber, sword, and Fire Elemental Dao had made progress, they had gone slightly astray. He needed a period of adjustment and seclusion before he could walk on the new path to the Great Dao.
Moreover, he had only been killing before. There were many things that he had yet to systematically organize and summarize. The next period of time would be the most important period.
Zhou Tong had been in the canyon for three days, but he had only organized and summarized a little bit.
Soon, he did not continue to sit there. He got up and advanced.
After all, this place was a trial. It was not good to stay here for too long.
Continuing forward, he arrived at the fourth island — Thousand Stars Island.
This island was similar to Myriad Mountains Island. They were both gourd-shaped. The island at the front was where the treasures were rewarded. Behind it was the real Thousand Stars Island.
Zhou Tong had done his best to take as many of the rewards as he could from the first island. However, this time, the Demon King guarding this place was completely stubborn. No matter what Zhou Tong said, he could only take ten of each of the three treasures. Ten of the same treasure counted as one treasure.
"With your rate of improvement, you are very likely to be the second Empyrean God after Jueming to pass Undermoon Lake. Once you succeed, you will naturally receive even greater benefits. You don't have to worry about the treasures I have," the Demon King said in the end.
Zhou Tong did not say much. He continued to move forward and soon entered the real Thousand Stars Island.
As soon as he entered the island, he immediately sat down cross-legged and continued to organize and summarize his gains from the past hundred years of fighting and killing.
Just like that, he sat there for three years.
A hundred years of fighting and killing. A hundred billion corpses of fiendish demons had tempered his sword, saber, and Fire Elemental Dao. Those countless insights had fused into his heart. At this moment, he had comprehended a trace of great success.
"The Five Treasures Sword Art and Saber Art are about to reach great success. I will soon be able to experience rapid improvement." Zhou Tong's eyes revealed a trace of a smile.
