Within the space of the Star Pagoda.
As soon as Zhou Tong entered the first floor, the space-time immediately changed. It was as if he had entered a great world.
"Whoosh!"
Wild winds howled, and yellow sand filled the sky.
This was a desolate and scorching desert world. Endless wild winds swept up the sand, causing the world to be hazy. The scorching waves even distorted the air, forming strange mirages.
"Huh? My divine sense and heart force are both suppressed? " Zhou Tong's heart skipped a beat. He felt that his divine sense and heart force had been suppressed to a distance of only a few hundred meters.
With such a range of divine sense and the distorted air, although this floor looked simple, it was actually like a maze, confusing the senses of cultivators and causing them to go back and forth.
"There are insect beasts there?" Zhou Tong's eyes could clearly see that there were more than ten ferocious-looking insect beasts in the distance. They were all roaring towards the sky, and their bodies were covered in dense scales that glowed with a metallic luster.
However, those insect beasts didn't seem to have seen Zhou Tong, and they calmly walked past him.
"They can't see me because of the distortion of the air?" Zhou Tong was startled, but he was already on guard. The suppression of this place was stronger than he had imagined. This distortion and mirage, in addition to the divine sense and heart force suppression, could easily cause others to not be able to sense him even if they came close.
Zhou Tong entered this place and wandered around for a while, but he didn't find anything. This place was filled with yellow sand, and his divine sense and heart force were suppressed as well. Naturally, he couldn't discover anything.
He didn't think too much about it, and continued to fly forward. However, he didn't fly very fast, because he wanted to find some of the mysteries of this world. He could feel that the scorching aura and the movement of the sand on this floor were definitely left behind on purpose. There might be many mysteries contained within.
As he walked, he sensed the surrounding space-time. Gradually, a void image appeared in his mind. This was something he had deduced according to the rules of this place.
"This feeling, this layer should be something evolved from the Dao of the Void, the Dao of Fire and the Dao of Earth," Zhou Tong gradually gained a hint of understanding. He had already roughly figured out the secrets of this layer.
The maze created by the Dao of Void, the Dao of Fire, and the Dao of Earth had indeed left a deep impression on Zhou Tong, allowing him to sense an unusual way of using the Dao of Fire.
Clang!
Suddenly, a sword beam flew out from the sandstorm not too far away, slashing towards Zhou Tong. Zhou Tong casually pointed his finger and a black flame flew towards the sword beam. Without making a sound, the entire sword beam was instantly annihilated. Even the cultivator who launched the sneak attack was struck by the black flame. His body was also reduced to ashes.
In the end, only his treasures were left on the ground.
"Do you think my Flame of Destruction is child's play?" Zhou Tong sneered. With a casual wave of his hand, he put away his spoils of war.
The most important aspect of the Flame of Destruction was its ability to destroy. It was an incredibly powerful ability to destroy.
The Dao of Fire was the most powerful Dao of Destruction to begin with. Zhou Tong's most powerful attack, the Flame of Destruction, was already the most powerful attack a World-level cultivator could unleash. Even if other cultivators had mastered their most powerful Daos, they still might not necessarily be a match for Zhou Tong's Flame of Destruction.
"I've spent half a year on this floor. There are no longer any secrets hidden from me!" Zhou Tong continued to advance. Now that he had fully understood the secrets of this floor, it was no longer a maze to him. He was able to advance as he pleased.
"Still, it makes sense. This floor was meant to be a place where World-level cultivators would be able to find good fortune and opportunities." Zhou Tong understood that the Grand Daos here were all very simple. There was no way they would have been left behind for Samsara Daolords.
He quickly found the path to the second floor and continued to advance.
The second floor actually wasn't that difficult. This entire world had been specially designed by the major power who had left behind the Star Pagoda. This place was filled with a strange black gale.
This floor tested the fusion of the Dao of Wind and the Dao of the Void, but it was still limited to World-level cultivators. Thus, Zhou Tong was able to easily find the path to the higher floors.
The third floor, the fourth floor, the fifth floor, the sixth floor, and the seventh floor were all passed by Zhou Tong in one go. It didn't take him much time at all.
However, these floors also tested the fusion of the Dao of the Void and other Daos, and they were all World-level cultivators. If a World-level cultivator wished to pass the first seven floors, they would most likely train in the Dao of the Void or have a deep enough foundation that they had dabbled in many different Daos.
Clearly, Zhou Tong belonged to the second type. When he had viewed the scars of the Daos within the Allgod Estate, he had already accumulated a foundation that was comparable to that of any Verge-level Daolord. The only thing he lacked was some high-level techniques that would help him improve even more quickly.
The first seven floors weren't a problem for Zhou Tong at all. He was able to quickly pass through them.
The eighth floor was clearly far more difficult than the first floor. This floor was filled with countless golems, and these golems were clearly more powerful than the golems within the Samsara Grinders of the Allgod Estate. All of them were at least at the supreme World-level, and some of the more powerful golems were even at the Samsara Daolord level of power.
At this stage, they would have to fight.
Rumble …
Zhou Tong casually sent out a stream of pitch-black flames towards one of the golems. Instantly, the four-winged Samsara Daolord golem froze in place in midair before slowly disintegrating into dust.
Rumble …
The scorching flames were filled with an endless amount of destructive power. The flames then transformed into countless arrows that instantly pierced through a large group of golems, causing their bodies to tremble as they slowly disappeared into the void.
Zhou Tong continued to slay the golems on this floor, but the more he advanced, the more powerful the golems in front of him became. This time, Zhou Tong continued to use only the Annihilation Flame. He was able to use the Annihilation Flame to perfection, and he was able to accurately burn away every single golem without wasting a single bit of its power.
"I can't keep going like this. I've already reached the apex of mastery in the Annihilation Flame. Next, I need to use other types of flames. In fact, I need to use other types of flames …" The more he advanced, the more Zhou Tong felt that this wasn't the way to go.
Although he could easily defeat all of the golems, this sort of battle was meaningless. It wouldn't have any positive effects on his improvement.
"Golems … now that I think about it, can my Annihilation Flame be transformed into a golem?" Zhou Tong suddenly had this thought.
Zhou Tong knew quite a bit about the Dao of Golems. The records which Daolord Allgod had collected contained detailed descriptions of it. However, if he wanted to transform flames into true golems, that would be extraordinarily difficult.
Zhou Tong referred to this step as' Flame Refining '. He wanted to refine flames into something else.
