In the air above Blackwind Gorge.
Zhou Tong stood there coldly in the air, the Voidsplitter sword in his hand slashing out.
Destruction Sword Dao – Ninth Sword!
It was a light, floating sword that didn't cause any changes in the wind or elemental essence. It was as though this sword didn't exist at all, but in the air in front of him, an extremely thin black line appeared …
"Damn!!"
The Highgod bandit on the other side was filled with despair. Faced with this sword, he didn't have any ability to block it at all.
"Bang!"
The divine sword chopped down, and a pitch-black crack spread out from the tip of the sword to the Highgod bandit's head. Instantly, the world fell silent. This Highgod was instantly chopped in two, and a rain of blood filled the air.
"Too powerful! This Destruction Sword Dao … is he really a God? Is he really a Two Star Fiend? "
Everyone stared in shock at Zhou Tong. This sword was simply too terrifying. It was even more powerful than many of the Five Star Fiends they had seen before.
"Too weak … it won't be of any use to the growth of my Edicts of Destruction!" Zhou Tong felt rather speechless as well.
"Mission complete!" Zhou Tong said coldly, sweeping the other Fiends with his icy gaze.
At the same time, he controlled his Godrealm, collecting the interspatial rings and divine sparks of those Deities.
"Yes!" The others, both the Fiends and the examinees, were all stupefied.
All of the Fiends were stupefied, because as soon as the battle began, they saw Zhou Tong charge forward by himself, sword in hand. In one breath, he slaughtered almost all of the God-level bandits within the gorge, and then charged directly towards those ten or so Highgod bandits. In the blink of an eye, the battle was over.
As for the examinees, they were all stunned. This was their Fiend trial mission. Everyone had been prepared to die, but in the end, they had passed it just like that?
"Incredible. This fellow definitely isn't a God. He must be a peerless expert amongst Highgods … most likely, he has been in seclusion this entire time, and only now has he come out. Perhaps he wants to charge to the Seven Star level at once!" The distant Fiend Castle's people were stunned as well.
"Return!" But then, with a loud shout, everyone returned to the metallic lifeform, to the Violet Cloud City, to the Fiend Castle.
After turning in the mission and receiving the reward of two hundred thousand inkstones, Zhou Tong successfully advanced to become a Two Star Fiend. And then, he once more went to the Fiend Castle to take on missions. This time, he went to a room specifically for Two Star Fiends to take on missions.
"Three-star combat mission. The sooner the better!" Zhou Tong was too lazy to wait any longer.
"Please wait a moment!" The bald man in charge of issuing missions looked at Zhou Tong with some surprise. A Mid-level Deity dared to accept a three-star combat mission. He was quite bold.
"What do you think of this mission?" Baldy looked around and passed the file to Zhou Tong.
The mission reward for killing the leader of the Seven Joints Bug Tribe was seven hundred thousand inkstones. The mission deposit was two hundred thousand inkstones. At the end of the quest, there was also a description of the general strength of the leader of the Seven Segmented Insect Tribe. He was a Highgod who cultivated in the Law of Earth.
"This is it!" Zhou Tong was too lazy to think too much and directly accepted the mission.
"The person who issued the mission lives in the Golden Phoenix Hotel next to the Fiend Castle. This is the token. You can go find him now!" After the bald man registered the mission, he immediately gave Zhou Tong a talisman. This was the token left behind by the person who issued the mission.
Not all missions required the people of the Fiend Castle to take them to complete. The vast majority of missions were actually just a token, allowing the Fiend to contact the person who issued the mission.
Half a month later. The Seven Joints Bug Tribe.
"Clang!"
A pitch-black sword light swept downwards, and a three meter tall, muscular man fell down from the skies.
Zhou Tong put away his divine sword. "The mission is complete. It's time to take on the next mission."
After returning to the Violet Cloud City, completing the mission and successfully advancing to become a Three Star Fiend, Zhou Tong immediately began to take on missions in the Violet Cloud City.
After becoming a Three Star Fiend, he had single-handedly annihilated Azure Snake Castle and thus successfully advanced to become a Four Star Fiend.
However, from the Four Star Fiend level onwards, advancing in rank wasn't as simple as completing a single mission.
This was because if one followed an expert, it would be very easy for one to fail. Thus, in order to prevent this from happening, the requirements for advancing in rank were much higher.
To become a Five Star Fiend, one had to complete a total of three five star missions. But to become a Six Star Fiend, one had to complete a total of ten six star missions.
As for becoming a Seven Star Fiend, that was no longer an ordinary mission. Seven Star Fiend missions required many tests, and were extremely difficult. There were all sorts of missions as well. For example, going to certain places where one would almost certainly die in order to find something, or killing a Seven Star Fiend, or treating some extremely difficult illnesses …
It could be said that these missions were all extremely difficult. Even most Seven Star Fiends who had already advanced would have a high chance of failing. Without sufficient power, if one relied on luck, there was no way one would be able to complete these missions.
In addition, virtually all of the people who issued these missions were other Seven Star Fiends, Asuras, or Commander-level figures. Some missions were even issued by Sovereigns.
There were all sorts of strange missions, but Zhou Tong only cared about one type of mission; the combat missions.
These sort of combat missions were extremely dangerous, but Zhou Tong didn't fear them at all. He very decisively accepted all sorts of combat missions.
In the Jade Conch Mountains, he had killed the bandit Griffith, completing his first five star mission. Afterwards, he had helped the Golden Phoenix Tribe defeat the Crimsonfire Tribe, completing his second five star mission. Finally, he had single-handedly annihilated Sword Lake Castle, killing 192 Highgods in a row, and thus successfully became a Five Star Fiend.
After becoming a Five Star Fiend, he still didn't change his style. He continued to accept combat missions, but this time, they were all six star missions, and the people he faced were all Highgods.
In addition, the Violet Cloud City didn't have that many combat missions for Six Star Fiends. Thus, his path to advancement was clearly much slower.
In the past, he had been able to complete three advancement missions in a year, but now, he would need five or six years to complete a single one.
However, during this period of time, Zhou Tong continued to accept some of the weaker four star and five star combat missions.
During this period of time, everyone in the Violet Cloud City's Fiend Castle knew that a madman who trained in the Edicts of Destruction had appeared here. He specialized in combat missions, and his efficiency was extremely high.
In addition, his soul was hidden to the limit, and he only revealed the aura of a God. Just think about it; how could someone with such terrifying power and combat power be a God? Thus, everyone believed that he was a supreme expert whose soul was hidden to the limit, such that no one could tell how powerful he was.
Time passed slowly. In the blink of an eye, a hundred years passed. Zhou Tong finally became a Six Star Fiend during this period of time.
Ever since he had passed the Fiend trials, Zhou Tong had completed a total of ten six star missions, 109 five star missions, 142 four star missions, fifteen three star missions, and one two star mission.
During these missions, he had killed countless enemies. In fact, he himself couldn't even remember how many Deities he had slain with his sword.
Some missions only required him to kill one or two, while others required him to slaughter hundreds. The number of Deities who had died by his sword was at least twenty or thirty thousand.
The Edicts of Destruction required this sort of slaughter to grow. During this period of time, Zhou Tong had improved tremendously as well.
In particular, after he had changed his way of thinking and used the three major sword techniques of the Shrouded Heaven world as a guide, he had further deepened his understanding of the Edicts of Destruction. His rate of improvement in the Edicts of Destruction had become incomparably terrifying.
In a short fifty years, he had already mastered the fifth path of the Edicts of Destruction – Annihilation. In addition, he had already fused it into his original Four Elements of Annihilation, and was just one step away from perfection.
Thus, Zhou Tong's weakness in soul attacks had finally been made up for.
