Year after year passed, and Zhou Tong continued to sit cross-legged at the entrance of the palace.
The blue-robed, white-haired spirit looked at Zhou Tong and thought to himself, "As expected of a cultivator of the Dao of Fire. After viewing the Ultimate Dao of Fire, he's been in a state of cultivation. It's already been ten years. Is he going to attempt the Daomerge just like that?! "
The blue-robed, white-haired spirit had been paying close attention to Zhou Tong, because in his opinion, Zhou Tong was very strong. Among the countless Daolords in the entire Chaosverse, aside from the Ultimate Daolords, he could be ranked in the top three.
If someone like him could take a step further, he would have a chance of passing the third trial.
Time continued to flow. Finally, after a hundred years, Zhou Tong opened his eyes. His eyes were much deeper than before, and it was clear that his cultivation had improved greatly.
However, Zhou Tong felt a bit of regret. "After a hundred years, although I've reorganized my Ultimate Dao of Fire, there are still thirteen nodes left. I don't know if I was wrong, or if this Daolord of the Fourth Step was wrong …"
Although his Dao path was filled with Daos from other worlds, Zhou Tong naturally wouldn't be so stupid as to completely deny his own Dao path. After all, this Daolord of the Fourth Step had failed the Daomerge, and his Dao might not necessarily be the correct one.
In the original work, when Ji Ning failed the Daomerge, he had said that he was the first person in the entire universe to have comprehended the correct Eternal Ultimate Dao, even though he had already failed the Daomerge.
From this, it could be seen that this Daolord of the Ultimate Dao of Fire was definitely wrong in some aspects of his Dao path, and not Zhou Tong.
Over the past hundred years, Zhou Tong had been verifying the Daolord's Dao of Fire while comprehending the Dao of Fire of this world. From there, he was able to smoothly determine whether this Daolord of the Fourth Step was wrong, or whether he was wrong.
During this time, he also discovered that there were some areas where he was right, and the Daolord of the Fourth Step was wrong. However, most of the time, it was because Zhou Tong had brought Daos from other worlds into his Dao.
However, among these differences, Zhou Tong also discovered thirteen areas. With his current cultivation base, he could not tell whether he was wrong or the other party was wrong.
Zhou Tong rose to his feet. "It doesn't matter if I'm wrong or they're wrong. I'm going to use my life to prove this point. While my lifebound dao talisman is still usable … I'll use the Eternal Ultimate Dao of Fire. You're worth me sacrificing my life for!"
Seeing Zhou Tong stand up, the spirit of the cave said, "You have one last test left. As long as he could pass through it, he would no longer be in any danger. Furthermore, his gains would be even greater than the Ultimate Fire Dao from before. Now, it's up to you whether you want to continue or give up. "
"Of course!" As usual, Zhou Tong left his cave abode where it was and strode into the main hall.
As soon as he entered the main hall, his eyes immediately lit up. There were sixteen huge golden pillars in the hall, and at the highest point of the hall was a throne.
However, Zhou Tong only glanced at the throne, then turned his attention to the two figures next to it.
One of them was dressed in long violet robes, and the aura of majesty he radiated was so thick that it was hard to breathe. Zhou Tong was able to tell at a glance that this was an Eternal Emperor, and a Hegemon at that.
On the other side was a figure with a slightly weaker aura. He was dressed in black robes and emanated a cold, insidious aura. This was a figure who was second only to the Hegemons in the Chaosverse, a figure who was on the same level as the Archons of the Sacred Cities.
As soon as Zhou Tong entered, the two of them turned to look at him.
"Samsara Daolords? How boring! "The violet-robed Hegemon glanced sideways at Zhou Tong, then turned to look at the other person." My good disciple, it's time for you to act. "
"Don't worry, Master! He's been trapped here for so many years. I'll make sure to properly entertain him. "The black-robed man narrowed his eyes slightly, his murderous aura exploding forth.
Right at this moment, the spirit of the estate walked in as well. "Because you are only a Daolord, your opponent will only be an Eternal Emperor at the Archon level. So long as you can defeat him or force him out of the hall, you'll have succeeded."
"You should be thankful that you are only a Samsara Daolord, which is why you only need to face an opponent at the Archon level. If you were an Eternal Emperor, your opponent would be that Hegemon. However, if you can force them out of the hall, the seals outside the hall will naturally kill them. "
"Thus, so long as you can pass the third trial, the guardian will definitely die. Unless you are a truly dazzling genius, you are not qualified to pass the third trial. Even ordinary Hegemons are not qualified. Master's good fortune will only be left to the most supreme experts, "the spirit of the estate said coldly." Enough. Make your move! "
As he spoke, he retreated to one side and watched coldly.
"Heh heh heh!"
Right at this moment, the black-robed man walked over. "Kid, if you want to blame someone, blame the master of this estate! In all these years, you are the first person to make it here. I'll make sure you die a slow, painful death. "
The more he spoke, the more excited he became, as though he could already see Zhou Tong's tragic future.
"Kill!" The black-robed man instantly moved.
"Hiss hiss!"
Instantly, the illusory image of a pitch-black serpent appeared in the void. It moved as fast as a ghost, instantly attacking Zhou Tong.
Rumble …!
However, to the black-robed man's surprise, Zhou Tong didn't retreat at all. Instead, he formed a fist seal with his hand, causing terrifying flames to swirl around his arm and fist. With explosive power, he punched the pitch-black serpent head-on.
With an earth-shaking boom, the black serpent transformed back into its original form. It was the black-robed man. Saber in hand, he clashed with Zhou Tong's fist. Half of his saber's blade had already sunk into Zhou Tong's knuckles.
"What, he can actually take one of my attacks?! His arm is also very strong. Even I can't cut it open with one slash. This divine body … "The black-robed man was shocked. Then, his face instantly became ferocious. He urged his strength again and slashed down.
"Such powerful strength. As expected of the Holy City's City Lord!" Zhou Tong's body seemed to be on fire. The flames on his body surged, and the terrifying explosive power once again rushed out with a bang — —
Rumble …!
With a loud bang, the sky fell and the earth cracked. The void inside the palace almost exploded. A blinding light bloomed. Then, Zhou Tong and the black-robed man both retreated a distance at the same time.
"Good boy, you can actually take one of my attacks. But I don't believe you can really defeat me. Kill!" The black-robed man was furious. He slashed wildly again.
"Old man, you're the one who's going to die!" Zhou Tong's right hand clenched into a fist. Scorching flames swept out like a sunbeam, instantly healing the knuckles of the black-robed man's knuckles. Then, without taking out any weapons, he charged out as well.
In truth, Zhou Tong didn't have any weapons or items on him. He'd tossed them all into his cave residence. All he had were his own techniques.
This battle wasn't really about winning at all costs. Rather, Zhou Tong wanted to use this battle to clearly see the thirteen differences between his own Omega Dao and the Omega Daos of his predecessors. He wanted to see if he was wrong, or if his opponent was wrong. He wanted to test his moves against this Eternal Emperor!
He wanted to prove his Dao with his life!
The battle continued. Zhou Tong relied on the terrifying regenerative abilities of the phoenix and didn't care about his opponent's attacks at all. Instead, he fought as if he was putting his life on the line. His attacks were incomparably powerful and terrifying flames swept out in all directions.
In the face of Zhou Tong's attacks, the black-robed man grew even more furious. His twin sabers grew even colder and more merciless as they collided with Zhou Tong.
For a time, all sorts of flames and black energy danced about the palace. Blinding light bloomed, and it was as if a black snake and a phoenix were fighting in the void. They fought from the heavens to the ground, and the void itself trembled violently.
If it weren't for the fact that this was a Sovereign's cave residence and the restrictions set down by the Autarch, the entire palace probably would've collapsed long ago.
