Uesugi Nao stood at the peak of the mountain and watched the battle from afar with a complicated look in her eyes.
In order to obtain strength, she had contracted Great Skyfiend and indeed obtained extremely powerful strength in a very short period of time.
For a period of time, Uesugi Nao even believed that she would become the mainstream and pioneer of humanity's future.
However, things didn't seem to develop in the direction she had expected. Although many humans had chosen to contract Guardians and become contractors, Guardians didn't become the mainstream of humanity.
However, Guardians didn't become the mainstream of humanity. The Holy Spirit would advance through Spirit Casting. Hui Haifeng had created the Mythical Liquid. There were also humans like Human Emperor and King of Thieves who had advanced to the Mythical stage.
As no one had seen Human Emperor and Thief King's true faces, it was impossible to determine if they had used Spirit Casting or Mythical Fluid. All they knew was that they hadn't contracted Guardians.
However, Zhou Wen in front of her most likely hadn't used anything like Mythical Fluid. This was because he didn't have any characteristics of dimensional creatures on him, nor did he sense any auras other than humans.
A human could actually reach such a level and even fight a Calamity-grade expert. This dealt a huge blow to Uesugi Nao's heart.
Can the strength of humans really be that strong? Uesugi Nao's conviction that she had always held onto wavered.
Although she was a very opinionated person and had always done things according to her own ideas, Zhou Wen's performance made Uesugi Nao, who had a heart of steel, begin to doubt herself.
Even if the Four Heavenly Kings attacked together, they probably wouldn't be able to last a minute against such a powerful Calamity-grade force. However, Zhou Wen had managed to last until now without being completely defeated.
However, Zhou Wen wasn't having a good time. Although the bone-chilling itch didn't affect him much, it was still a problem.
Zhou Wen's focus talent was unparalleled. If it was only pain and itch, it wouldn't affect him as long as he didn't think about it.
He was afraid that Calamity-grade power wasn't that simple. If the subsequent Heavenly Tribulation directly attacked his body, Zhou Wen's body wouldn't be able to withstand the impact of the Calamity-grade power. He would be instantly killed.
In a battle with a Calamity-grade, I can only summon Truth Listener or use the Immortal Culling Sword. Otherwise, there's no chance of victory. I won't even have a chance to fight. Unless I can advance to the Terror grade, I might still have a chance … Zhou Wen thought of Slaughterer.
Slaughterers could only advance in rank if they could instill fear in their opponents. However, the one being suppressed right now was him. His opponent had an absolute advantage. Forget instilling fear in his opponent, it was impossible for him to even injure his opponent.
Three minutes passed quickly, but Zhou Wen still couldn't think of a solution. The Heavenly Tribulation changed again. This time, Zhou Wen no longer felt itchy, but something even more terrifying happened to him.
Zhou Wen instantly felt that his various sensory abilities had been magnified countless times. He was even sharper than when he used Great Brahma.
"Ah!" Zhou Wen couldn't help but scream. Pain, numbness, soreness, and itchiness surged through him under the stimulation of the lightning.
Originally, such stimulation wasn't something Zhou Wen couldn't endure. Usually, he wouldn't even grunt.
However, because his perception had been magnified, Zhou Wen was extremely sensitive. The painful stimulation was magnified countless times.
This stimulation had already reached the limits of human pain tolerance, but once Zhou Wen focused on thinking about something else, the pain would weaken.
It couldn't be said that it had weakened. It could only be said that because he was distracted, he could no longer feel the pain.
How can I advance Slaughterer to the Terror grade? What am I supposed to do? " Although Zhou Wen knew that it was very difficult, this was the best chance for him to save his life.
Therefore, all Zhou Wen's thoughts were on how to advance Slaughterer. The pain became weaker and weaker.
Three minutes wasn't fast, but it wasn't slow either. Soon, the third Heavenly Tribulation passed.
During these three minutes, Tyrant Behemoth began to glow and heat up again because it had swallowed too many Essence Energy Crystals. Thankfully, it wasn't as hot as before. It probably hadn't reached its limits.
The fourth Heavenly Tribulation lightning surged out. This time, it wasn't as simple as physical pain. Instead, it directly penetrated his soul and affected Zhou Wen's emotions.
Typically, the fourth talent would trigger hallucinations, making one see their greatest fear. Many people would die at this stage.
This was because humans often wouldn't lose to powerful enemies, but they would easily lose to themselves.
However, this tribulation was easier for Zhou Wen to deal with than the previous few tribulations. This was because his psyche was too focused. The Heavenly Tribulation lightning couldn't affect his brain, causing him to hallucinate.
Zhou Wen kept thinking about how to advance Slaughterer, so he didn't notice the fourth Heavenly Tribulation. Time ticked by. After the three minutes of the fourth Heavenly Tribulation ended, Zhou Wen still hadn't come up with a solution.
However, at that moment, Zhou Wen felt Slaughterer react. Furthermore, the reaction was very intense.
What's going on? Why is Slaughterer reacting at such a time? I'm clearly at an absolute disadvantage now. It's impossible for me to instill fear in the enemy … Zhou Wen was somewhat surprised, but Slaughterer's reaction couldn't be faked.
Zhou Wen naturally didn't know how shocking it was for a Perfect Sword Immortal that he had survived the fourth Heavenly Tribulation.
This time, Slaughterer's reaction was more intense than ever. Zhou Wen could even sense that Slaughterer's aura was rising rapidly.
Why is this happening? Could it be that my enemy feels fear? But he clearly has the absolute advantage … Wait … Killing one's heart … Having the advantage doesn't mean he wouldn't feel fear … Zhou Wen thought of a story his grandfather had told him when he was young.
It was said that there was a person in ancient times who was very worried that the sky would collapse. Every time it rained, he would flee with all his might, afraid that the sky would collapse and crush him to death.
When Zhou Wen thought of this story and connected it to the current situation and Slaughterer's reaction, he suddenly seemed to understand something.
Although humans were afraid of known dangers, their fear would gradually decrease as they came into contact with them. Instead, they were extremely afraid of things that hadn't happened or had the chance to come into contact with them.
For example, when standing at the edge of a high-rise building, one's legs would still go limp even if they knew that they wouldn't fall even if they were tied with ropes.
Or perhaps many people were afraid that they wouldn't have anyone to support them when they were old. No matter how bad their children were, they would obey them and not dare disobey them.
Killing one's heart … I see … I seem to understand … The killing of the human heart … is suicide … Zhou Wen had a new realization. Many things that he couldn't understand previously suddenly became clear.
