"Rumble!!"
Fist and sword once more collided. Ripples appeared in the air, and cracks in the void continued to expand.
Right now, although Zhou Tong held the upper hand, his comprehension of the Laws was still a bit too low. Right now, he was only relying on his innate ability to battle. He wasn't able to advance any further, much less expand his advantage.
"If this continues, you'll lose! Ichabod is the guardian I personally selected. His power is considered to be above average amongst Seven Star Fiends. By relying on your innate divine ability, you are just barely able to suppress him, but in the end, you're still unable to deliver that decisive blow. "
Beirut was secretly watching this battle between Zhou Tong and the guardian of the seventh floor. He knew very well that if this continued, once Zhou Tong's innate divine ability expired, Ichabod would be the one dominating Zhou Tong.
"Eh? Your innate divine ability has this sort of weakness? " Beirut suddenly raised an eyebrow, and a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes. "No. This isn't necessarily a weakness. If you use it well, it might even be your strongest point."
"Roaaaar!!!"
The battle grew more and more intense, and Zhou Tong's eyes grew increasingly red, as though they were about to bleed. This was the first time he had used his innate divine ability to such a degree.
In this sort of state, all of the emotions in his mind had been tossed aside, and all of his thoughts had vanished. There was only a single thought in his mind – to kill his opponent.
His attacks grew increasingly wild, and a terrifying baleful aura filled the air.
Unbeknownst to him, the power of the Edicts of Destruction was beginning to slowly seep into the Laws of the Earth.
Zhou Tong had the deepest understanding of the Laws of the Earth, and thus, from the very beginning of the battle until now, he had been using the Laws of the Earth. But now, in his berserk state, his mind had been completely filled with a savage, savage desire to do battle. The Edicts of Destruction were actually beginning to silently fuse with the Laws of the Earth.
This sort of fusion wasn't just a fusion with one of the profound mysteries of the Laws of the Earth. Instead, it was a fusion with the Profound Mysteries of Life, the Profound Mysteries of Strength, and the Throbbing Pulse of the Earth!!
Time flowed on, minute by minute. Finally, Zhou Tong's innate divine ability began to decline.
"Haha, your innate divine ability's time is finally up!!" Ichabod was keenly aware of this, and then laughed wildly. "It's my turn next!"
Despite feeling pleased with himself, Ichabod still unleashed his strongest attack. The pitch-black divine sword in his hand seemed to be stirring up the void, and an extremely terrifying distorted field shrouded the divine sword.
"Boom!!"
Even the void was stirred up by his sword, causing terrifying ripples to erupt. Countless plants and rocks on the seventeenth level were reduced to dust by the aftershocks of this attack.
However, the power of this sword was quickly withdrawn, leaving only a pitch-black sword light that pierced towards Zhou Tong's forehead.
Just as the sword was about to hit Zhou Tong, suddenly —
"Boom!!"
The space in front of Zhou Tong shattered in an instant, and a huge black 'hole' appeared. A golden fist emerged from the black hole, instantly smashing the pitch-black sword light, and arrived before Ichabod.
"What?!!" Ichabod's face changed dramatically. He no longer had the time to dodge. All he could do was send out a punch to meet Zhou Tong's fist head-on.
However, Zhou Tong, who had already broken through in terms of cultivation, was unstoppable in this punch. The golden fist smashed through everything, causing Ichabod to explode on the spot. A Highgod spark and an interspatial ring fell down from the skies.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! "
Right at this moment, the red light in Zhou Tong's eyes finally vanished. He seemed to have lost all his strength, and he lay down on the ground, panting violently.
He had used his innate divine ability to its limits. This battle had been too tiring. His body was tired, his mind was tired.
But no matter how tired he was, it had been worth it.
"Battle is the true source of my improvement!" A hint of joy appeared on Zhou Tong's face.
He hadn't imagined that in this sort of selfless battle, he would cause the three profound mysteries of the Laws of Destruction and the Laws of the Earth to begin fusing. This was the fusion of four profound mysteries, and one of them was a mutated profound mystery.
"My fusion of the Laws of Destruction and the Laws of the Earth, once perfected, will most likely be equivalent to the fusion of five profound mysteries …" The more Zhou Tong thought about it, the more excited he became.
After resting for half a day, he finally recovered. And then, he picked up Ichabod's divine spark and the interspatial ring.
This time, the interspatial ring wasn't empty. It truly contained the wealth of a Seven Star Fiend. It was filled with all sorts of things, such as divine artifacts, divine sparks, metallic lifeforms, and some pitch-black stones that emanated a strange aura of darkness.
"This thing should be the currency of the other planes, right? It should be the currency of the Divine Darkness Plane. This sort of darkness aura shouldn't be the inkstones or netherstones of the Infernal Realm or the Netherworld. It is very likely that its name is' darkstone '. "Zhou Tong pondered for a moment, then said to himself.
"Next, I should go take a look at the rewards of this floor!" Zhou Tong immediately went to the staircase leading to the next floor. Next to it was a platform that held the rewards of this floor.
"Aside from some divine artifacts and divine sparks, there are also Golden Soul-Pearls. Two thousand of them. Beirut knows what I need right now!" Zhou Tong said quietly to himself, while at the same time, he quickly put away the Golden Soul-Pearls.
There wasn't much time left until the Necropolis of the Gods would close, and so he had only refined a few Golden Soul-Pearls to maintain his condition. He hadn't completely refined the two thousand pearls.
"Eh?!"
But right at this moment, his face suddenly froze, because he saw something that he had never seen before appear on the platform.
It was a small bottle.
Zhou Tong opened the bottle, and instantly, a unique aura emanated from within.
"This is … Sovereign's Might!?" Although he had never seen Sovereign's Might before, this unique aura was enough to cause him to tremble with just a sweep of his divine sense. This was definitely Sovereign's Might.
"Wind-style Sovereign's Might. This little bottle has to have at least a hundred drops!"
Zhou Tong was rather speechless. Wind-style … it just so happened that he didn't have an affinity for it.
However, Zhou Tong expressed his understanding towards this little bottle of Sovereign's Might. After all, Beirut was a wind-style Sovereign, and his Sovereign clone wasn't able to leave the Yulan continent, so he didn't interact much with the other Sovereigns. Thus, the only thing he could casually give out as a reward was wind-style Sovereign's Might.
"Forget it. Wind-style is wind-style, then! Time to go to the eighteenth floor! "Zhou Tong was filled with excitement as he stepped onto the eighteenth floor.
The eighteenth floor of the Necropolis of the Gods. This was an empty space, and the floor was covered with enormous bluestone tiles. The ground here was bluestone, and the sky was bluestone as well. There weren't any impurities at all.
However, the most eye-catching thing was a small platform in front of him, upon which was placed a crimson ring.
"A Sovereign artifact! It must be a Sovereign artifact! A soul-protecting Sovereign artifact!! " Zhou Tong's heart was filled with excitement. Since there was such a thing on this floor, it had to be a Sovereign artifact left behind by the Four Divine Beasts.
In addition, Zhou Tong was almost certain that this thing had to be a Sovereign artifact left behind by the Vermillion Bird Sovereign.
"Because I am a Demigod and am not qualified to acquire a Sovereign divine spark, the Sovereign artifact was left here?" Zhou Tong picked up the ring and immediately dripped a drop of blood to bind it to him. Soon, he sensed a special aura enveloping his spirit sea. Moreover, it transformed into a transparent, feather-patterned membrane that perfectly protected his spirit sea.
"There's no mistaking it. This must be a complete Sovereign artifact … a perfect, flawless soul defense." Zhou Tong grew more and more excited. With this thing, he wouldn't have to worry about soul attacks at all.
Although Zhou Tong was a Quadruple Soul Mutate, and his soul was definitely his strongest point, he wasn't able to become a Highgod in a short period of time, and the profound mysteries of the Laws he had comprehended weren't related to the soul.
Compared to those top-tier experts who specialized in the soul, such as Reisgem or Mosi, Zhou Tong was definitely a bit weaker in the soul aspect.
With this ring, he would be able to make up for his greatest weakness for a long period of time in the future.
"My power, and my training history … Beirut really has calculated everything perfectly! There's still some time. Time to refine the Golden Soul-Pearl! " Zhou Tong mentally accepted the Sovereign artifact, then sat down in the meditative position, using the last two days in the Necropolis of the Gods to refine the Golden Soul-Pearl and continue to strengthen his soul.
