Chen Zhao had been sitting by the river for ten days and ten nights.
After ten days, Chen Zhao still hadn't gained anything.
No wonder the ancient cultivators usually went into seclusion for three to five years.
With Chen Zhao's personality, he really wasn't suitable to be a cultivator.
However, Chen Zhao's greatest advantage was time.
Old Turtle sat beside Chen Zhao and spoke for the first time in ten days.
"To draw, you have to draw the outline. To write a book, you have to write the outline. To create a spell, you have to create the intention first. If you don't even know what intention you want to create, how are you going to do it?"
"Intention?"
Chen Zhao sat for another ten days.
There were too many thoughts in Chen Zhao's mind. Too many thoughts actually delayed Chen Zhao's thinking.
On the eleventh day, an idea suddenly flashed through Chen Zhao's mind.
Why did he think so much? His comprehension wasn't high and his Taoist theories were shallow.
Thinking so much about the complicated nature of heaven and earth was just asking for trouble.
He didn't need to think about whether he should pass it down or pass it on to his descendants.
What he needed was a spell that was suitable for him.
A spell that could fully unleash his power.
It was just that simple.
After thinking through this, Chen Zhao was suddenly enlightened.
His thoughts spun extremely quickly. Soon, an idea appeared.
Suddenly, Chen Zhao split into twelve clones. Then, the dark lava surged into the twelve clones and corroded them. Then, the dark lava fused into Chen Zhao's real body.
The twelve clones were connected by the dark lava. All of their power fused into Chen Zhao's real body.
Chen Zhao felt an unprecedented surge in his body.
Chen Zhao didn't know how much power he had now.
But now, Chen Zhao had merged the twelve clones and his real body into one.
If the clones were created after splitting, then now it was 10,000 Techniques Return to One.
There were no complicated operations. It was just a simple thought.
With his real body as the base, Chen Zhao's power instantly multiplied.
When he was in the Ultimate Transformation Realm, Chen Zhao already had the limit of close to two hundred tons of strength.
After the world became clear, his body underwent a qualitative leap again. His power multiplied again.
Now, with the 10,000 Techniques Return to One, it multiplied again.
Right now, Chen Zhao's power had reached a terrifying level.
That wasn't all. If Chen Zhao received an external impact or attack, he could also transmit the impact to his clone through the dark lava.
Chen Zhao's defense reached an unprecedented level.
Old Turtle opened his eyes again and looked at him.
"What is this spell called?"
"All Techniques Return to One."
"The name is a bit big, but it's quite appropriate for your spell. You'll have to continue perfecting it in the future. What you've done so far is enough."
Chen Zhao left the River Diagram. After many days of comprehension, he finally had a good result.
Twenty days in the River Diagram was only an hour in the outside world.
At the moment, there were two places that could help Chen Zhao the most. One was the River Diagram. It gave Chen Zhao enough time to cultivate and Old Turtle could teach him.
The other place was the Tower of Trials, which was the place of proof.
Everything Chen Zhao had learned and thought had to be proven in the Tower of Trials.
Ever since Chen Zhao had comprehended the Clarity of Heaven and Earth, he hadn't had any interest in the Tower of Trials.
He hadn't entered the Tower of Trials because he had barely passed the seventh level when he was in Ultimate Transformation.
Then, after comprehending the Clarity of Heaven and Earth, Chen Zhao kept feeling that he was missing something.
After coming out of the River Diagram, Chen Zhao finally felt that he had made up for what he was missing.
Then he went straight to the headquarters of the Association.
Without greeting anyone, he entered the Tower of Trials directly.
The monster on the seventh level was a lava giant.
It was also where the bronze sword had broken.
That was probably Chen Zhao's toughest battle.
One had to kill a thousand Lava Giants in order to clear this stage.
The eighth level would definitely be several times more difficult than the seventh.
After entering the eighth level, Chen Zhao realized that he was on a turbulent ocean.
Chen Zhao flew up and hovered above the surface of the sea.
Right now, Chen Zhao's heart was as calm as still water. He allowed the waves to surge.
A small world opened up, covering both the surface and the bottom.
Chen Zhao didn't know where the attack would come from.
Suddenly, Chen Zhao felt something approaching underwater. It had entered his small world.
The next moment, a bloody mouth lunged at Chen Zhao from below.
It was a huge shark, more than thirty meters long. Its two dorsal fins were arranged side by side like two rows of blades.
On both sides of this huge shark's bloody mouth, there was a pair of exposed bony teeth that looked like pincers.
Frenzied Ocean Demon was the shark's name.
The Frenzied Ocean Demon didn't use its mouth to bite Chen Zhao. Instead, it shot out a water column.
Chen Zhao quickly dodged. The water column shot up to a hundred meters in the air. It was obvious how powerful it was.
If Chen Zhao was hit by the water column in the air, he would probably be injured.
Chen Zhao landed immediately. He charged into the Frenzied Ocean Demon's mouth and tore it apart with brute force.
One Frenzied Ocean Demon clearly wasn't a threat to Chen Zhao. He stood on its corpse floating on the surface and gazed into the distance.
Just then, the surface of the sea in the distance started rolling. It was as if thousands of soldiers were charging at Chen Zhao.
It was thousands of Frenzied Ocean Demons stirring up waves.
Frenzied Ocean Demons were water hell creatures. One Frenzied Ocean Demon could shoot out water spells, so it wasn't strange for thousands of them to raise huge waves.
Chen Zhao took a deep breath and looked at the ten-meter-tall waves in the distance.
He could totally hide in the sky.
However, he'd come to the eighth level of the Tower of Trials to prove his self-created Spells Return to One.
If he avoided it, it would be meaningless for him to come here.
Chen Zhao immediately activated 10,000 Spells Return to One. Facing the huge wave that was surging toward him, Chen Zhao's eyes widened.
The waves arrived, but the next moment, Chen Zhao was sent flying by them.
Chen Zhao could feel his body crumbling.
Instant kill!
Dead!
Chen Zhao left the Tower of Trials and was dumbfounded.
He'd been too pretentious. Even he didn't expect to be instantly killed.
The waves created by thousands of Frenzied Ocean Demons weren't stacked on top of each other. Instead, they were attacking as one. It was similar to Chen Zhao's Spells Return to One. It was also the combined attack of thousands of Frenzied Ocean Demons.
No matter how strong Chen Zhao was, he couldn't fight against thousands of Frenzied Ocean Demons alone.
This was a clash of absolute power. Chen Zhao lost.
He'd lost completely. He'd lost without any suspense.
This was the result of being too arrogant.
When Chen Zhao had comprehended Spells Return to One, he'd almost thought he was invincible.
But the eighth level of the Tower of Trials had slapped him hard in the face.
Although he was depressed, it also made Chen Zhao even more excited.
After all, this was his true defeat.
Chen Zhao had already reimagined and rearranged his strategy.
He definitely couldn't fight head-on.
Even Spells Return to One couldn't fight against that level of power.
So, one way to pass was to avoid the combined attack of the Frenzied Ocean Demons and then break them apart.
