Zhou Tong entered the estate. As he walked through the corridors, he quickly saw a plaza that was paved with azure stones. Behind the plaza was a large hall.
There were over a hundred figures within the plaza. Some were seated in the lotus position, some were drinking wine, some were chatting, and some were playing chess to pass the time. When Zhou Tong appeared, the hundred figures all turned to look at him. An invisible surge of power instantly pressed down upon Zhou Tong, causing him to feel rather stifled.
"Over a hundred Eternal Emperors!" Zhou Tong understood that most likely, even the weakest of these Eternal Emperors was comparable to the two gatekeepers outside.
Rumble …
Right at this moment, a white-haired old man dressed in deep blue robes suddenly appeared on the stairs leading to the plaza.
The old man's aura was incomparably cold. He looked at Zhou Tong, then said, "I am the spirit of the estate. I have been ordered by my master to stand guard here."
Zhou Tong nodded his head. He also understood that many cave dwellings would have such things. Even his own estate had a spirit within it. In fact, even the Starseizing Estate of the True God, Daoist Threelives, had one.
In truth, all of these spirits were here to carry out the orders which their master had left behind.
The blue-robed, white-haired spirit continued, "This estate has a total of three life-or-death trials, each more dangerous than the last. The outermost trial is the simplest trial. If you can overcome the three trials, there will be no more dangers in the later trials. According to my master's instructions, you will receive a reward for each trial you overcome. "
As he spoke, the blue-robed, white-haired elder tossed an azure-green leaf to Zhou Tong. "This is a Lifeblood Dao-seal. After binding it, virtually all Daolords will be able to use this Dao-seal to come back to life once."
"But of course, if you are a legendary Daolord who trains in an Omega Dao and reaches the Fourth Step, you will have a level of vitality that surpasses all other Daolords and reach the Eternal Emperor level. You won't be able to rely on this Dao-seal to come back to life. You will have to use a Lifeblood Dao-seal that can bring Eternal Emperors back to life. "The blue-robed, white-haired elder explained this Dao-seal.
Zhou Tong nodded slightly. He was still just a Daolord of the Third Step; he could rely on this Dao-seal to revive himself once. Refining this Dao talisman was equivalent to having an extra life and an extra chance to go all out.
He took the Dao talisman and sensed it slightly. He immediately knew how to use it. He only needed to drip a drop of blood into it and then hide the Dao talisman somewhere. If he died later, he could use this Dao talisman to revive once.
Without thinking too much, Zhou Tong immediately dripped his blood essence into the talisman and sent it into his cave residence.
Zhou Tong casually left his cave residence in front of the square.
The spirit of the cave quietly looked at Zhou Tong and said, "I've left behind a life-saving measure. If there are no problems, please continue. If you're afraid of death, it's not too late to leave now!"
"No need. I'll do the trial right now!" Zhou Tong put down his cave residence and continued forward.
The blue-robed, white-haired elder's voice was still as cold as ever. "You are just a Daolord, so in the second trial, you only need to face ten of the weakest Emperors. If you can push open the door to the palace, you will have succeeded. I must remind you that you cannot use any external items in this trial. You have to rely on yourself. Golems, Dao-seals, and other such items can only be used if you create them yourself. Otherwise, you will have failed! "
Zhou Tong nodded. As for the blue-robed, white-haired elder, he instantly traversed the entire square and arrived at the entrance to the palace. He quietly watched as Zhou Tong attempted the trial.
"Ta!", "Ta!", "Ta!" …
One step at a time, Zhou Tong walked towards the square.
The Emperors in the square all stared at Zhou Tong, most of them feeling rather regretful and resigned.
"Ugh. It's a pity that he's a Daolord. Only the weakest ten can fight. How boring."
"When is an Eternal Emperor going to arrive? That way, we'll be able to fight."
The Emperors were all filled with resentment. They had been trapped here by the Autarchs for countless years, and it was very likely that they would be trapped here for eternity. This was a situation that left them in utter despair.
The countless Emperors chatted amongst themselves, but the weakest ten flew out and blocked Zhou Tong's path.
"Heh heh, he's just a Daolord. No matter how freakishly talented he is, so what? It's not like he's never killed a freakishly talented Daolord before. "
"Hahaha, kid, don't blame me for not doing this. If you want to blame someone, blame the master of this estate. This was his order."
"Ugh. I've been trapped here for countless years. I can't stand the thought of drinking blood any longer!"
"Attack! Don't let him escape!"
Although these ten Emperors were the weakest of the ten, they had all once dominated the Chaosverse. They had been vicious and merciless Emperors who had slaughtered countless people. The countless years of imprisonment had caused them to be suppressed for countless years. Now that Zhou Tong had appeared, this group of people wanted to release themselves properly.
"Cut the crap. Attack! Let's see what you're capable of!" Zhou Tong was rather excited to face this group of Emperors. He directly raised his finger provocatively at the ten Emperors.
"Kill!"
"Junior, you're courting death!"
"Arrogant! I'm going to torture you to death today! "
Zhou Tong's actions infuriated the Emperors even more. They either transformed into mist, streams of light, flames, or lightning. They attacked together from ten directions. They didn't want to let Zhou Tong escape, so they attacked with killing intent.
Zhou Tong looked at the group of Emperors with excitement in his eyes.
The ten weakest Emperors in the second stage were slightly stronger than the two Emperors in the first stage. In fact, the weakest of them was on par with the two Emperors in the first stage.
And now, the most important thing was that there were ten of these Emperors. When ten of them attacked together, it was a qualitative change caused by quantitative change. Such an opponent was enough to make Zhou Tong face him head-on and make his fighting spirit surge.
"Hahaha, I need such an opponent to verify my Dao!" Zhou Tong revealed an excited expression. Then, flames curled around his right hand and burst out with brilliant divine flames as he slapped forward.
"Boom!"
In an instant, the heavens and the earth collapsed. Zhou Tong's arm collided with the blade of the Imperial Monarch at the front, and it was simply like two volcanoes colliding. Crimson flames surged into the sky while the glow of flames shot into the sky, and it caused the scene before their eyes to be dazzling.
Then, in the dazzling light, the void shook nine times, followed by nine muffled groans. Finally, all the light dissipated. Zhou Tong's body was covered in flames, like a god of war, standing proudly in the middle of the square.
As for the other ten Emperors, they all revealed their true forms from the flames and lightning. In that instant, they were all repelled.
"This Dao Lord … he!?"
"How is this possible? How can he be so strong? He's only a Dao Lord. He hasn't reached the Dao Integration Stage yet! "
This scene stunned all of the spectating Emperors. This was completely different from what they had imagined Daolord to be capable of. Instead, it was an evenly matched fight? One against ten, and they were still evenly matched?
